i think he's 6-3 minimum

I've met a coupla people who are over 6ft2 and claim 6ft2.This is rather anecdotal but I guess when people are tall they don't give a damn.

Yep, agree with this. I walked right past him on Tottenham Court Rd last year and in trainers he absolutely towered over me [179 and a bit] & I was in Timberlands. I desperately wanted to have a chat with him!

He looked a solid 6'4+ and had gigantic, flapping arms. He was literally head and shoulders above all others on the street. People who are 6'2 never seem wildly tall to me [just over 3 inch difference], so this was odd ... but why would he claim this height when he's clearly not??

Only thoughts would be that his whole style is about humility and understatement ... reducing his height might possibly help him in interviews, in terms of getting people on side if they comment on his height and ask how tall he was? I remember one show where he met Ainsley Harriot by chance in the BBC and looked to have an 1 or 2 inches on this guy, who I have always perceived to be pretty big too. If someone know his height this might help nail Louis'.

On a side note, I was absolutely shocked recently to discover his rival Jon Ronson is only about 5'4!!!

I actually think this is off. I've seen all his shows and docs and he just seems like a 6'4 guy. He towers over almost every single person he stands next too and has a large frame as well. seems 6'4

I suppose being skinny makes him look even taller. Plus, a lot of the people he's made programmes with ( Paul Daniels, Jimmy Saville ) are considerably shorter than him.

He looks much taller in his series. More like 6ft 5 but I suppose he must be 6ft 2 - why would he make himself out to be shorter.
