Rob, please, see "Percy Jackson"... In the opening scenes, Kevin McKidd and Sean Bean stand eye to eye, same dress shoes ( there is a shot on them ). Sean is visibly taller, I'd give it 2-3 cm taller than McKidd. Ach, and look also please at the closing scenes, when Logan ( portraying Percy ) stands with McKidd. Logan cannot be more than 175cm, and still, there is tops 5 cm diff between them.
Best regards! Hugh 190-192cm says on 22/Feb/10
Yeah I suppose so but what about 184cm rob? Hugh (191cm/252lbs) says on 19/Feb/10
Rob do you think he's near 6ft 2?
[Editor Rob: that's what the press first said but the more people seen I think that was hard to believe.] 191cm/252lbs says on 30/Jan/10
He looked 187cm in Trainspotting probably because everyone else was tiny like Robert Carlyle, Ewan McGregor etc. Hugh 190-192cm says on 8/Jan/10
Looks between 6"0-6"2 most of the time. Occasionally can look nearer 5"11! Hugh 191cm says on 29/Dec/09
Actually 186-187cm in trainspotting. Would be quite suprising if he's that tall in reality Hugh 190-192cm says on 29/Dec/09
Doubt he's 6"2 in realoty though. I think 6"0.5 might be reasonable James says on 22/Dec/09
I thought he could look 6'2 in Trainspotting 191cm is Royalty says on 12/Dec/09
He does look pretty tall in Trainspotting. A solid 6ft 1 like 185-186cm 191cm is Royalty says on 11/Dec/09
Okay barely 5ft 10 next to Broadbent! PK says on 6/Dec/09
Sloucher. 181-182 cm standing straight, an inch shorter whilst walking. Josh.J says on 4/Dec/09

i doubt that the floor is uneven which begs the question, how can 6'1 eric dane
dominate 6'0 mckidd? the answer is mckidd is actuall in the 5'10 range. TheProv says on 25/Sep/09
183 cm.?!?!?!?No way!!!!...Here someone isn't saying the truth...in Grey's anatomy is taller than Dempsey but shorter than Dane... meg says on 20/Sep/09
im puzzled i really believe he is between, 5,11 and 6,0 but not sure Anonymous says on 31/Aug/09
What's with this guy (his height seems to vary greatly)? He looked shorter (at least an inch) than 5'10.5" Orlando Bloom in Kingdom of Heaven. He looks 6ft other times. PK says on 9/Jul/09
5'10 MAX

0:39 He looks 5-8 cm taller than Ellen in this vid, and she's listed as 5'7. Nelly Morrison says on 4/Apr/09
Sat next to Kevin McKidd at the Edinburgh Playhouse last festival and boy, not only is he gorgeous, but he's tall - a good 6 ft 1 or 2". I'm 5ft 10in and was wearing heels and he was miles taller than me - and so amazing I couldn't speak sensibly for a couple of hours afterwards! MOF says on 12/Jan/09
Seems that my original claims are true... 180-182cm is most likely. Anonymous3 says on 8/Jan/09
looks 6' or close Alucard says on 29/Nov/08
He looks way shorter than Ray Stevenson in Rome. 6ft seems right. mikec says on 27/Oct/08
he looks a definate 6ft here and especially looks 6ft in trainspotting nick says on 27/Oct/08
he is 5'11 Anonymous3 says on 26/Oct/08
nope I do not see 6 feet there either Anonymous3 says on 25/Oct/08
looks like a 5'11 guy...I have such a terrible impression on 5'11 guys....I get the feeling like they want that extra damn inch. lol Scott says on 17/Aug/08
Kevin Mckidd appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Leno was a couple of inches taller than Mckidd. That should put Mckidd at about 5'9". Jacka G says on 19/Dec/07
Reed Diamond looks mare than an inch tall, McKidd is a mare realistic 5-11/11.5 Joe says on 9/Sep/07
In the new show 'Journeyman' he looks kind of short actually, but maybe that's because the other actors are tall. Anyway, I would give the guy 5-11.5 MAX. Genny says on 30/Jul/07
I think that the reason he looks about two inches shorter than James Purefoy is that the latter is 6ft 2...not 6ft 1. MOF says on 19/Feb/07
Look at the first picture posted by Paul last November on Johnny Lee Miller...
Bremner 5'8.5"
McGregor 5'9.5"
Miller 5'10"
According to CelebHeight.
All four look to be in similar distance from camera, 6'0.5" is a max for McKidd, he and Miller are the only ones who are not hunching and Miller is farthest away from the camera. MOF says on 24/Aug/06
That's odd, in every standing scene in Rome, Purefoy is always taller than McKidd by some inches... MOF says on 28/May/06
I watched Kingdom of Heaven director's cut (far superior version) and there is an added shot of Orlando Bloom and McKidd walking side by side. Even though McKidd is closer to the camera Orlando is still almost an inch taller, at least half an inch. So was Bloom in big boots? Walking on phone books or what? MOF says on 18/Apr/06
Strange that Purefoy and McKidd stand the same height in that film, in Rome, McKidd was some obvious two inches smaller. And they were both wearing sandals... MOF says on 13/Apr/06
Just watched Transpotting again, he doesn't look taller than 6 feet...
[Editor Rob: if McGregor is nearer 5ft 9, then I would agree 6ft...but mcgregor was 2 inches taller than the drug dealer guy, that director seems like an honest enough guy, he's not into all that hollywood stuff and claims 5ft 8...I dunno. I might force myself to rewatch a couple of Rome's again...
for sure, he can look just like a 6ft guy in many pics etc] Peter says on 9/Apr/06
Rob, I agree that he is in a bad posture, but also Ray is and so are the others in this picture. Maybe Kevin is indeed 6'1, but Ray seems just HUGE! MOF says on 26/Mar/06
I just watched Dog Soldiers but there was not one scene where you could see McKidd standing normally aside Sean Pertwee who get's listed as 6'0 here. In the forest McKidd looked a bit smaller than Pertwee, later in the film when we actually see them together, Pertwee is standing in some fight mode and lowers himself considerably. Then we see them fighting a bit and they always looked very similar in height, if anything it proves it at least points out that McKidd is probably 6'0 rather than 6'1.
[Editor Rob: its very hard to guage anything inside the cabin, I couldn't find the heights of the guys he stands beside...one thing I always try to consider is posture] MOF says on 21/Mar/06
I'm sorry if I seem obnoxious about this but as I'm watching Rome, he repeatedly stands next to Indira Varma the actress who plays his wife, according to this site Varma is about 5'7. This seems probable and as she wears sandals like everyone else including McKidd it is reasonable that the height variation is reliable. McKidd looks about 3-4 inches taller than Varma in Rome, everything seems to add up. In Kingdom of Heaven he was the same height as Bloom, he looks at least 4 inches (probably closer to 4.5) smaller than 6'4 Ray Stevenson (who I think is more like 6'3.5), 6'1 James Purefoy has two inches on McKidd, Ciarán Hinds seemed just a bit taller than McKidd who is listed at 6'0 (who is also probably just about 5'11, at least he looked so in Munich)...
Since today I have not found one evidence that says McKidd is not 5'11. I might buy 5'11.5 and 6'0 max. Unless some groundbreaking new discoveries are to be made in the near future concerning McKidd's amazing ability to make himself appear smaller than he actually is.
[Editor Rob: I personally didn't think he was shorter than Hinds, but sometimes he can look shorter of course, in Heaven he did look 6ft in those short scenes. I'll eventually nail this guy's height down whenever I see another few things he's been in...so one day in the future I will come back here ;-)] MOF says on 16/Mar/06
I cought a quick frame of him with Purefoy, standing at least two inches smaller, even Hinds looked taller. Next to Stevenson he looks over 4 inches smaller... MOF says on 15/Mar/06
But he still stands at least two inches (probably 2.5 inches) smaller than 6'1 James Purefoy, I doubt they put Purefoy in sandal lifts to raise him to 6'4 (or higher). And it's also bizzare how tall Orlando must be if he's marginally taller than McKidd in Kingdom of Heaven.
[Editor Rob: I will eventually get back around to this guy, he was looking 2 inches up at Purefoy on flat ground? I can remember some of the angles might suggest a difference, but I thought he still looked a little more than Ciaran when he stood properly. Of course beside Stevenson he could also look sometimes struggling with 6ft...
I can't remember if this guy stands inside the house on flat ground in Dog Soldiers beside some guys of similar 6ftish height, I may dig that out.] MOF says on 2/Mar/06
It is obvious from Rome that he is not 187cm, I'm still puzzled how he actually stands lower than Orlando Bloom in many wideshots in Kingdom of Heaven... He's much closer to 180cm.
[Editor Rob: I can buy 6ft 1, I still thought when on level ground he looked a marginally taller than the legit 6ft Hinds in Rome, but he didn't look tall beside bloom in their 2 standing scenes.] MOF says on 25/Feb/06
He also stands lower than 6'1 James Purefoy by at least a whole inch, and he also stood smaller than 6'0 Ciarán Hinds in Rome. But is Ciarán Hinds 6'0?
[Editor Rob: I didn't think he looked shorter than Hinds when on level ground...] MOF says on 24/Feb/06
McKidd is not near 187cm, he was clearly at least 3.5 inches smaller than 6'4 Ray Stevenson (who I still doubt is 6'4)... CelebHeights Editor says on 8/Jan/06
Hmm, when he was facing off with 6ft Ciaran Hinds on level ground in Rome and there was maybe a little difference...hard to tell though. I would say McKidd looked a tad taller. CoolJ says on 26/Dec/05
McKidd doesn't really look like 6'+ guy. Although.. marking him down more than 2" from his supposed height does seem a bit extreme. MOF says on 26/Dec/05
That's very odd... In one particular wide shot of Bloom and McKidd standing side by side in Messina, where you clearly see both of them from head to toe and McKidd was exactly as tall as Bloom, even a little smaller. I doubt that Boom wore special medeival shoes to raise him two whole inches for the film. It also says that Ray Stevenson is 6'4, he doesn't look it in King Arthur, looks like 6'3 there.
I doubt McKidd is more than 5'11, unless Bloom really did wear special shoes? CoolJ says on 25/Nov/05
Rob, if thats the case, I'd say McKidd is about 185-186. It's hard to believe he's even that tall as he is routinely around men on the show who are 2-3" taller.. especially Pollo (Ray Stevenson) although I'm not sure how tall he is.
[Editor Rob: as I mention, he's got 2 short scenes beside Bloom in Kingdom of Heaven...he doesn't look 188cm there...but yes Ciaran Hinds is 183/4cm, so maybe this guy isn't quite as big as though. Stevenson looks a 6ft 4 guy to me...] |
