Louis was invited at Radio Deejay in Italy and took a picture with the hosts that were measured barefoot during another program (you can find it online). The guy in the denim shirt was measured 168 cm, while the other one with the blue t-shirt was measured 175.5 cm. Draw your conclusions.

Like 169cm with shoes on I love to see it

Heโ€™s 171cm
Roco7 said on 18/Jun/21
I too now think he's probably over 5'8"...if harry is now 5'10" the others need an upgrade.

My final thoughts on the 1D guys heights:

Harry: 5'10.25-5'10.5"
Liam: 5'9.5"-5'9.75"
Niall: 5'8.25"-5'8.5"
Louis: 5'8-5'8.25"
Zayn (trickiest): 5'8-5'8.25"

This site likes to downgrade young up and coming singers!
Reckinballz said on 16/Jun/21
As Tall if not taller than corden with footwear disadvantage.

5'8.5"
Willis Christian Macaraig said on 8/Jun/21
I think Louis Tomlinson is 5'7" because he is shorter than 5'10" and because he lies about his height whenever someone asks him how tall he is.
Roco7 said on 28/May/21
Am I the only one that thinks he's closer to 174 than 172? He's the only one from 1d who has met someone I know, they have a picture with him and he's identical to them and they're 174-175.

Ahhh..cโ€™mon heโ€™s BIG! Seriously though, his drivers license says 5โ€™9โ€ on his Los Angeles airport arrest record...but I suppose you can fib a bit in those, after all they donโ€™t actually measure you, you fill out the paperwork yourself...I always make myself weigh a little less. Lol
Willis Christian Macaraig said on 27/Apr/20
I think Louis is 5'9.5"/177 cm because i am 191 cm and i am 14 cm taller than Louis Tomlinson.

Maybe I should claim 5'10" then! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Rihanna how you listing zayn 5โ€™8.5 when the difference between zayn and gigi more than 2 inch..
Rihanna said on 30/Dec/19
Louis, 5'7.5, Niall 5'8, Zayn 5'8.5, Liam 5'9, Harry 5'9.5.

Poor guy is really insecure about his height... they all are. Stands on tippy toes in fan photos, poses with short fans, has footwear or camera angle advantage. He recently performed at the same venues as Niall and Liam. Taking footwear into account, he is slightly shorter than Niall and noticeably shorter than Liam.
Peter175 said on 19/Dec/19
Second most honest, he can get 5'9" in shoes easily.
Zayn is never touching 5'10" in his life except out of the bed in his special boots and using hair.
Same for Liam and his 185
Loman2 said on 18/Nov/19
Rob, now that Niall is 5'8", Louis deserves the upgrade too:

Here he looks taller than Simon, and we know Simon's footwear is sometimes...considerable.

Louis is not a small man.
Selma said on 11/Nov/19
There was a moment when a fan called him small and he said " No, I'm Massive!!!!"
boyce said on 31/Oct/19
You know what, Louis has really got the short end of the stick from the fans. They call him the 'small' one despite the fact that he's probably within a quarter inch at the very most of the two other shortest members of 1D, and is probably no more than 2.5 inches away from harry. Bit really.

People mock his 5'9" claim, but he probably wakes up closer to that mark than people think...
Kezz said on 16/Sep/19
I think he is in the 5'6 range. People always comment on how tiny he is. He is tiny in body proportions. He looked small at the Madrid Coca Cola event and could barely reach the microphone lol. There's photos of him on his tiptoes. Maybe 5'8 in heels, which he wears a lot.
Divalovro said on 28/Feb/19
170.2cm from me
Quoter88 said on 8/Sep/18
Oddly specific Rob. How can you be so sure? Seems 5'8 range.
Editor Rob
Everything is still a guess, last time I looked at him I thought he wasn't far off 5ft 8, but not over 5ft 8.
Sandy Cowell said on 8/Sep/18
I'm really pleased to see Louis Tomlinson as a new 'X' Factor judge.

I see a kind, emotional boy and as I have not a single idea about the members or music of 'One Direction', and don't feel the urge to find out, I can honestly say that he is quite a revelation to me!

๐ŸŽผโœ–๏ธ
๐Ÿ‘จโœ”๏ธ

So he is the 'X' Factor's new Louis! He can have the above 5ft7.75 from me, as I have a lot more observing to do regarding his height. I don't think this will be the last time I write on his page!

Heโ€™s the shortest ex 1D member 168 cm in my opinion
Cool dude said on 24/Oct/17
LOL louis was never taller than harry even during x factor days, they seemed close in height before harry started wearing lifts and cuban heels, and also camera angles can make someone appear taller and shorter than they usually are,louis is max 173cm and harry is max 177-178cm
andre said on 19/Oct/17
this guy is 168cm 169cm barefoot at night
MD said on 7/Oct/17
Zayn, Louis and Lima are all visibly overlisted, here, if you ask me. Only Harry and Niall's current listings seem to be arguably accurate, and I could see the both of them being a quarter-inch off their listed heights quite honestly.
Handsome One said on 22/Sep/17
They said Simon's height was about 5'8 with regular shoes right? But it briefly say that Louis's not over 5'7. You guys can go on youtube and see American's got talent when Louis stands on the red carpet next to Simon. I'd say that Louis just 5'6.8-5'7 (167-170cm)

That's me claiming 6'1 lol

5'7.5" absolutely max.

He claimed 5'10 and he looks short... Ridiculous
Fiona said on 25/Jul/17
i agree with peter 100%, if bebe is 5'5 then louis has to be 5'8 or 5'8 and a half since bebe's shoes add height. Or maybe bebe is just really 5'3, with his ex girlfriend danielle campbell who is listed at 5'2-5'3 she appeared to be the same height next to him as bebe does, maybe a bit shorter,

His current girlfriend eleanor calder is skinny and listed at 5'8 and they appear to be the same height, but she was very much taller than him back in 2014 & 2015 but now they look the same height, probably due to him wearing thick sneakers.

I mean 1.5 inch from him and harry
Peter175 said on 22/Jul/17
I'd give him the full 5ft8 him and Niall look it. Him especially. Never saw more than 2.5 between him and harry and looks taller than Zayn

Anyway he recently debuted with a Music video with him and Bebe Rexha(listed 5'5)
Click Here

You have her listed as 5'5" and she can generally look it. But imo(C I disagree) Louis looks minimum 3 inches taller, maybe even nearing 3.5 range.

Click Here
Click Here

I can't see how you can possibly see 2 inches here. It's clearly at least 3 inches. Her shoes look bigger actually. He's a straight up full 5'8er


Rob, any thoughts? I linked the vid too btw. How tall does he look with her?
Kelly said on 21/Jul/17
One time he was taller than Harry I don't know how he might be 5'8" 1/2
C said on 21/Jul/17
Okay compared to Bebe Rexha he should be about 2 inches taller than her? On Back to you music video they're both wearing sneakers but I doubt his are the same as hers. I wouldn't be surprised to find out the sole of Louis shoes are thicker and taller than Bebe's. If she really is 5'5 then he should be 5'7 tops.
Slim 182 cm said on 20/Jul/17
Classic strong 5'7, 5'7.5 if lucky.

@anon
Zayn does exactly the same thing lol those 1d guys just walk around in lifts/heels
Revisionist said on 4/Apr/17
@ anon, much of the public, particularly fans, are gullible (see certain posts from one particular poster on this and other 1D pages) and will believe whatever they're told, unless it is absolutely preposterous. After all, most people think that they're 1-2 inches taller than they really are.

Arrest records are inaccurate. They're measured with shoes, and photos are taken from angles that make the subject look much taller. If his arrest record says 5'9, then you can be pretty confident that he's nowhere near that.
anon said on 31/Mar/17
How can he claim 5 ft 9 1/2 and 5ft10 at 172cm he is adding 5-6cm bizarre why anyone would do it and think they are fooling people in some cases because others are doing the same but anyone who knows their own height is going to be able to tell.

It's easier to claim your lowest height that way you will never get called out ever on the subject assuming it comes up but If your a 5'7- 5'8 guy claiming 5'10 good chance someone in the real world is going to call you out on it lol
Eyad said on 26/Mar/17
How louise and zayn malik stated the same height Rob ?
andre said on 20/Mar/17
Louis is 5ft8 with shoes in the morning
Anon said on 8/Mar/17
Pretty sure they do actually measure them at the jail or wherever he got arrested. Maybe it's 5'9 with shoes on? I think he should get an upgrade to 5'8 at least
Wrs567 said on 6/Mar/17
Justin Biebers arrest record also said he was 5'9''

and that was in 2014

when he really was 5'5.5''/5'6''
TS4EVA said on 6/Mar/17
As if he would give a lesser height at the jailhouse. They probably measured and he got on his tippytoes.
HS said on 5/Mar/17
5' 9'' in his new arrest record...
Warren said on 5/Mar/17
@Anon
Maybe It's the latter, and most celebritys tend to claim with footwear I think
GOOD LUCK Louis...
Anon said on 4/Mar/17
His new arrest record says he's 5'9... Do they actually measure that at the jailhouse or just ask you your height?
andre said on 1/Mar/17
About half 168cm barefoot at night
Moulder said on 19/Feb/17
He looks like he has bad posture and is quite thin, which I think makes him look shorter. I would say 5'8. Is a very handsome bloke.
Warren said on 28/Jan/17
I think this guy is super handsome btw, so Idc if he is 172 or shorter than that

from all I've seen I do think guys like louis/niall/zayn are if measured within a fraction, you could argue Niall has more chance of being nearest 5ft 8 though.

Michelle K said on 11/Oct/16
Louis does look 5'7. He's very tiny but if I'm gonna be real here, I'd say he's 5'8 JUST because what Addison said made me think more about it, if he was 5'7 wouldn't he be shorter than Harry when their both standing next to each other barefoot or in flat shoes?? But they only have a 2-3cm height difference when their both in flat shoes? I've seen photos and Louis looked taller in the earlier years (2010,2011 and 2012) so I guess now he's either just shrinking from that massive weight loss or Harry and everyone around him got taller and made him look smaller. Also, Louis's mom herself confirmed on Twitter that he was 5'9. I'd believe 5'9 for him in the earlier years but not now I don't think
D said on 4/Oct/16
Addison, sorry to say this but you are the most not thinking person that I know. Are you blind that he is taller because of the beach slope? If I was rob I would've Banned you for hatening and trying to downgrade people just because of hate.
Addison said on 1/Oct/16
Rob, dont you feel like danielle and louis's height difference is too much? if he was 5'7.5 shouldn't she be to his ear? i believe louis is very close fo 5'9 because of how tall he looks next to danielle, should a 5 inch height difference look like that?? because to me it looks like a 6 or 7 inch height difference.


Click Here
Editor Rob
barefoot on level ground there might be 5 inches or even more between them...on the sand it is harder to say because of the slope.
Addison said on 30/Sep/16
danielle IS 5'3, you should change her height on this site rob, if you look at photos of her next to louis you can tell she's very short next to him and even fans that met her said shes 5'3, a 5'5 fan met her when danielle was in 2 inch heel shoes and said danielle was the same height as her so no doubt danielle is 5'3 and louis has to be 1.74 or 1.75, look at their height difference Rob!! is it normal for a 5'3 girl to be that short next to a 5'7-5'8 guy??



Click Here


click on that and scroll down, thats a fan taken picture of louis and danielle at the beach awhile back, the top of her head reaches his lower neck? almost to his shoulder!! is a height difference like that normal?? it looks like a 6 inch height difference to me Rob, what do you think?
Editor Rob
5ft 2.5 is a possibility, not sure about 5ft 3 though.

You are so sad, and you've become a distraction. Leave.
what!!!?!!! said on 21/Sep/16
addison, you cant say that harry is 5'10 too, because he wears his lifted big heeled boots always. Flat shoes? hahaha. Inner lifts at least 2 cm + 1.5 cm heel. The least thing that person will think about you is that you have brain. Not when saying such things. Harry 5'10... When? He maybe is 5'10 with his lifts. What are you trying to prove? Harry 5'10 barefoot? not in an million years. Maybe he will grow so, maybe not. But for now he isn't more than 1.75 max 6 barefoot!
D said on 20/Sep/16
Addison the only one acting stupid is you, not others. And you have proven it by saying harry styles is 5'11 and such. So please stop commenting unless you have something real to say. And again, without his lifts, boots and hair, Harry is no more than 1.74.5. I think so.
MD said on 15/Sep/16
@Addison, dear, you are WAY out of your league, here. Find your way on out of here.

OK YES LOUIS DOES LOOK TINY AND HE IS BUT THERE IS SOLID PROOF THAT HE CAN BE 5'9! 1, NEXT TO 5'3 DANIELLE CAMPBELL WHO ALWAYS WEARS 3 1/2 and 3/4 AND 4 INCH HEELS HE LOOKS WAY TALLER THAN HER! BY 3 INCHES OR MORE AND THERES PICS WHERE HE IS EVEN BAREFOOT NEXT TO DANIELLE AND SHES WEARING 3 1/2 INCH HEELS! JUST SEARCH UP "danielle campbell and louis tomlinson monte carlo" AND SHES WEARING WHITE SHORTS AND POSING NEXT TO HIM AND THERES TONS OF PICS AND SHES VERY TINY NEXT TO HIM EVEN IN HEELS!

JUST LOOK AT PICS OF THE TWO TOGETHER HE IS TALLER THAN DANIELLE EVEN WHEN SHE'S IN 3 AND 4 INCH BOOTS AND HEELS, SHE'S LISTED AT 1.60 AND THERES PROOF THAT SHE IS INDEED 5'3 NOT ANY SHORTER. LOUIS LOOKS 2 OR 3 INCHES TALLER THAN HER WHEN SHE IS IN HEELS! LOUIS IS DEFINITELY 5'8-5'9, EVEN THOUGH HE APPEARS TO BE VERY TINY! SADLY THERE IS SOLID PROOF THAT HE IS 5'8-5'9! HE IS ALWAYS GETTING DWARFED BY HARRY WHO HAS TO BE ATLEAST 5'11. AND FANS WHO HAVE MET HIM SAID HE IS 5'9 BUT HE HAS A TINY FIGURE AND HE IS VERY PETITE HE DEFINITELY IS UNDERWEIGHT FOR HIS AGE AND HEIGHT HE HAS SHORT LEGS AND WIDE HIPS AND THATS WHAT MAKES HIM LOOK SMALL, THAT HE HAS A MORE FEMININE BODY AND HIS PROPORTIONS ARE SHORT, AND LATELY HE HASN'T BEEN ALWAYS LOOKING SHORT BECAUSE HE LOST A LOT OF WEIGHT SO HE DOESN'T LOOK AS SHORT ANYMORE!

lol all these One DIrectioners and Bieber lie about being 5'10" and Harry about 6'0, just lol. No wonder these heights have lost its value and have a short ring to it, if it were strong 5'9ers and 5'11ers claiming it, there would be no problem.

@Rob,

Not only is he not taller than Niall, but he may even be shorter. Can you do a bit more research and try to level all of these guys out to their proper numbers? Perhaps Niall has actually grown? I don't know, but he's certainly looked taller than Zayn or Louis in the last few years.

Click Here

More than likely, the other two are likely mislisted, because Niall isn't really all that much taller than a now 5'6.5" Pele.

Click Here

Click Here

Clearly Harry and Liam are the two tallest, but after that, I think Niall comes in between and then the other two are the shortest. I guess what I'd argue is that Louis can't be taller than 5'7.5".
Editor Rob
you could argue 5ft 7.5-7.75 range for both, it can be hard to really say who is taller...in the past I gave the edge to Louis, but then Niall can look a similar range.

Harry has never been 5'11 barefoot in his life, the same goes for 5'10 for Liam, 5'9 for Zayn and 5'8 for the other two.
Stampy said on 2/Sep/15
People on this site need to understand that if you're photographed walking ahead of someone, even if just slightly, the person ahead looks much taller than they really are. Typical example is Hannah's picture of Harry and Louis. Harry is 5 ft 11 but often wears boots so that he tops 6 foot. Nobody wears lifts except for Peter Andre. Liam is 5ft 10, Zayn 5ft 9 and Niall and Louis 5 ft 8.
loafy said on 28/Aug/15
Guys, he's not seriously claiming 5'9. Come on. It's an ongoing joke...maybe he seriously tried to claim 5'9 once, but basically it was his "official" height listed in band publications, it was obviously untrue, and he's always joked with fans about it and gotten on tiptoes in pictures with tall girls and generally made it obvious that he's actually shorter than that. The Twitter claim quoted above is clearly a joke. Most fans who've met him estimate him at around 5'7 so I think this listing may even overestimate him.
yeah right said on 25/Jul/15
@Randomsksjs
A genuine 5'9 guy doesn't look short, yet Louis looks short constantly. A typical decent 5'7 guy claiming average height.

Well in one of lotties posts on Instagram , she states that she herself is 5'2 and her sister felicity (can't spell her name sorry) is 5'8. And if you look at Louis' moms wedding photos, Louis is a little taller than her so he's most likely 5'9
D said on 1/Jul/15
Zayn is shorter .
anon said on 31/May/15
so compared to Justin Bieber, Niall seems to be around 5.7 barefoot, I would put Louis at 5.8 and Liam at 5.9, Harry 5.10
Banana said on 4/May/15
I think that Louis is way smaller than Harry. So Louis would probably have the height of maybe 5'6 1/2
G said on 3/May/15
My opinion on the heights of directiones: Harry 5'9.5 or a possible 5'10 (although it seems 5'11 or 6 feet with their lifts and huge hair), Lian 5'9 or a possible 5'9.25, 5'8 Zayn, Louis 5'8 (but I do not doubt that it can be 5'7.75), Nial 5'8. Anyone agree?

Saw a video on vine where he claimed 5'9 but he definitely looked around 5'7
Hannah said on 15/Apr/15

Alex said on 13/Apr/15
There's a video on Twitter and he is just as tall as 15 year olds I thinks he 5'7-5'7.5
MD said on 10/Apr/15
Is he really taller than Zayn? I know he's only listed a quarter-inch taller, but is he taller, at all?
Bishop said on 9/Apr/15
I believe that Louis is the shortest one in the band, but the three shorter ones are very close. I think 5'7.25" is the perfect listing for him.
Em said on 9/Apr/15
๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ 5'9 my ass!!! He's about 5'7
MD said on 9/Apr/15
Rob,

Just because I don't know, but is he really taller than Zayn?
Editor Rob
they both can appear very similar, zayn's hair at times looks thicker, but their postures can vary a fair bit. They might end up being quite similar when measured.
Alex said on 6/Apr/15
Even DIRECTIONERS think this guy is short 5'7 max
Hannah said on 5/Apr/15
5'7" definitely.
yeah right said on 2/Apr/15
@5'10'' guy
Women, not girls, women.
readyAIMfire said on 2/Apr/15
5'8" tops
1D and their height claims are stupid .
5'10" guy said on 1/Apr/15
And they say girls like "tall",dark and handsome lol
Mark said on 31/Mar/15
I would say no more than 5"8 for Louis
MD said on 30/Mar/15
To continue to post them doesn't make them any more correct. In fact, it's just spam when you do that.
Alex said on 30/Mar/15
No these are the real heights : niall 5'6.5-5'7. Louis 5'7 zayn 5'6.5-5'7 harry 5'8.5-5'8.75 liam 5'9-5'9.5

low said on 13/Mar/15

andre said on 20/Jan/15
This guy looks like 5ft7 no more then this downgrate it
Irv said on 24/Dec/14
Louis is the shortest member of the group. For him I would say 5'7.25
dandelion said on 22/Nov/14
All of them are taller than Ellen who's 5'7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xynlkhK5B4Y - Louis looks no more than 5'8 next to her. Harry and Liam are a lot taller than her though - 5'10+ I reckon
Loud30 said on 19/Nov/14
Although with Djokovic Niall appears to be a weak 5'7, I'm 5'8 and I'm pretty sure I'm shorter than Niall, or Zayn, because it looks like their body proportion is longer than mine. How come Rob? (The others can answer me too)
tom said on 9/Oct/14
Just to put the Niall photo with the Derby County squad in perspective, number 4 is Craig Bryson, measured 5'7 on the club website, and number 10 is Jamie Ward at 5'5".
Bran said on 7/Oct/14
Think every time i see a friend who's 16 or so and like 5ft9.5, there far from tall but too think there bigger than the whole band of one direction. Niall looks short often; Click Here Click Here ... bet niall feels right short, this is why i dont understand people on General height page claiming 5ft9 average, its 100 % 5ft10 for a younger male. Anyway Click Here Be very suprised if any was 5ft9.5 or above, unless styles is 5ft10 and sinks in with the 5ft7-8 ers with poorer posture but im not sure. Even looking at liam with beckham, quite a difference, and then he's barely different too 5ft7-8 range Niall; when most near 2 inch differences look really big.. like Rob and Tyson on here, im really confused now.
Josh said on 27/Sep/14
More like 5'7 maybe even 5'6.5
Mr tall said on 26/Sep/14
All the boys heights are quite hard to tell apart especially zayn, louis and Niall who look in the 5'7/8 range. Louis doesn't look like he has grown since X factor the 5'9/10 claims are ridiculous can pass for 5'8 but no more
evil said on 20/Sep/14
louis 5'8
niall 5'75
liam 5'9.5
zayn 5'8
harry 5'10
Height181 said on 15/Sep/14
I remember being a solid 5'8'' barefoot like it was yesterday. I clearly looked more taller than what Louis and Niall do. Both of them are no where near 5'8'' barefoot. 5'6.5'' it is. It's just my opinion though.
Height181 said on 15/Sep/14
Rob, I can't believe that you think Niall looks 5'8''. He looks 5'6.5'' at best next to 5'11'' Beckham. Click Here Please ignore Nialls hair in the picture which is adding another 4 inches! Sure he can look around 5'7.5'' in footwear, but height in footwear is not your real height.
Editor Rob
between 5ft 7 and 8 range, that's what I was said. Anywhere in - as I said - the 5ft 7 to 8 range. You can see another shot with Big David here.
Jake said on 15/Sep/14
Rob, had no idea that most of the members of One Direction were 5'8 range. Harry and Liam seem to be the taller ones of the members.
Editor Rob
Niall looks somewhere in 5ft 7-8 range aswell, the other 2 look to clear 5ft 8
5ft7 bro said on 14/Sep/14
I think if your below 5ft10 you can safely claim 2+ inches more then youre actually height but not if your over 5ft10 short guys gotta get some respect too
Emil 182.5-184.5 cm said on 13/Sep/14
I wanna join that Jimmy Piven system and claim 6'2.5...
Height181 said on 10/Sep/14
I agree with most of the posters on this page, saying that he is in the 5'7'' range. I think he is slightly shorter at 5'6.5'' though.
ยฎ said on 10/Sep/14
He's 5'10 in Jeremy Pivens measuring system.
Bran said on 10/Sep/14
@Rob
Good addition, ive spent a good year now looking at one direction's height's and believe all 3 shorter members are around 5ft7-8, i would peg none at just 5ft7 flat. Nowadays 5ft7-8 is quite short for a young male; i would say Louis is 5ft7.5 or 5ft7.75, Zayn 5ft8... Niall 5ft7.5, Liam 5ft9 and Harry 5ft9.25 or 5ft9.5 i think thats fair. 5ft6.5 is standout short nowadays to be honest as like a 6ft1-2 guy is standout tall, one direction can get away with only looking shortish at times... i think he grew through 19 to be fair, i was brought up just round the corner from this lad ive seen numerous pictures of him with people i know and even passed him a few times, not the most polite of lads actually but doesnt look that short.. this is fair.
Editor Rob
harry is probably the most unpredictable as his posture is up and down like a bride's nightie.
George said on 10/Sep/14
Rob what would you guess his morning height to be?
Height181 said on 10/Sep/14
He is 5'6.5'' to me and about 5'7.5'' in shoes. being 5'7.75'' barefoot like he is listed here, would make him around 5'9'' in shoes. Louis has never seen 5'9'' in his life!
hugo said on 9/Sep/14
He and Zayn Malik look quite similar in height so I'd say this listing is correct as they both can look beetween 5'7" and 5' 8". They sure as hell look taller than Bieber, that's for sure.
new guy said on 9/Sep/14
@Kourosh177cm I know what ur saying im 5'10.75 at my low and I have a way larger frame.5'7 for him
Kourosh177cm said on 9/Sep/14
i dont know how people get guts to claim 2 to 3 inches more than their heights? im even afraid of to say 5'11 which is just an inch taller than my actual height.
Kourosh177cm said on 9/Sep/14
there is no way this guy is 5'9.5 , you can tell by his body proportion. His body frame does not represent a strong 5'9 guy let it alone 5'10. I'm measured myself at 5'9.5 and i have much longer body frame than him.
Bishop said on 8/Sep/14
@Height181
Zayn has much more hair than Louis in that pic. So with shaved heads and same footwear, I don't think they would be that far apart. Louis is only wearing converse which doesn't add that much in height. And lol @ 5'10.
Arch Stanton said on 8/Sep/14
He's one of those 5 ft 7 range guys who claims near 5 ft 10!
Height181 said on 8/Sep/14
Come on Rob, He's shorter than Zayn! and Zayn isn't even wearing shoes! Click Here You are very generous to these 1D lads.
Amaze said on 7/Sep/14
5'9.5? 5'10?!? that is a big inflation adding 5cm or 6cm on.
why would you add over 2 inches ofheight
yeah hes defo 172cm or 5 7 75 hes not even a legit 5 8
