Any thoughts on the photographs, Rob?
Editor RobThere is a case for the weak 5ft 11. For a few years I thought it did suit him!
Putrescent said on 27/Nov/23
Rob, I think Bomer's height should certainly be re-evaluated after some recent press photographs, which I have outlined below.
With Jonathan Bailey, who is listed at 5ft 11, but you have seen that he is not quite comfortably there:
1) Click Here (he looks over an inch shorter; footwear is not very dissimilar.)
2) Click Here (footwear seems to be unequal and favourably so for Bomer. Still looks almost an inch shorter.)
3) Click Here (footwear seems about equal, but maybe Bomer's heel is larger. The difference here seems to be much larger than in the previous photographs. Maybe the camera is tilted a tad.)
4) Click Here (same event as the last photograph, but the camera seems more level. Again, the difference is very considerable.)
With Bradley Cooper, who is listed at 6ft 0.5:
1) Click Here (here, Bomer looks a full two inches shorter to my eye. Bomer's footwear: Click Here and Cooper's: Click Here
2)Click Here (again, Bomer looks 5ft 10.5 at best with Cooper.)
As you have probably seen, Bomer is struggling to look even close to 5ft 11 with both of these guys. This is even more surprising because he is wearing either Chelsea boots or a Cuban-looking heel in every single photograph. What do you reckon, Rob? Does this even remotely substantiate his current listing?

Even though his lean build makes him look taller he’s still tall for an American male I’m thinking about 179 cms I’m sure he has his days where he can pull off 5’11 and depending on the shoe wear he could pull off 6’0

Flare said on 11/Jun/22
You're right Rob! I didn't pick up on that before! That's interesting. I can't see him being taller than someone like Michael Fassbender or Viggo Mortensen. He looked shorter than 5ft10 Kevin Bacon (who had a shoe advantage to be fair), standing side by side. I think if Cooper is 6ft 0.5, Bomer is around 5ft10.5-5'10.75 range. Do you think that is looking like qa possibility yourself?
Editor Rob
In the past I’ve thought weak and strong 5ft 11, but the more I saw the less like I’ve thought he was over it.

That photo is deceiving from being so close up. Here's 2 photos with Matt and Bill from the same link you posted -
Click Here
Click Here
Bill looks 2 inches taller, which lines up with Rob's listing of Matt at 5'11 and Bill's listing at 6'1. Even if Bill is as high as 187/6'1.5 - 6'1.75 as Google says, he looks to have 5 cm on Matt, which would make Matt 182 max. And that is still not believable.
Matt does not touch 6'0 at all.

Editor RobWith someone like Reed it's hard to imagine Matt's claim of six foot being anything but in shoes.
Neen said on 9/May/20
Okay, so here´s my theory. I´ll take Chris Messina and Bill Pullman, whom Matt had acted alongside recently on The Sinner, as examples.
Bill is 187cm and here, they do not look 7cm apart but more like 4-5. Which would make Matt 182/183cm.
Click Here
Here, next to Chris, who is 175cm (Matt is standing at full height, no elevator shoes in this scene I guess ^^), and he looks a lot taller, even though Chris is looking up. Could easily be 7cm.
Check out this GIFset / 3rd GIF!

Click Here
He seems to be closer to Bill than Chris. Which, when you do the math would make him a tat bit taller than 5´11 (180cm).
So, my point being. If Bomer says he is 183cm/6´0 - I believe him. :)

5'11 is fair for Bomer, 5'10 1/2 is too low. He can arguably pull off 5'11 1/4, but can also look more 5'10 3/4 other times. I'd say he looks closer to the former than the latter here with Gosling (if we think he's right at 6'0 1/4), with similar footwear/posture: Click Here.

How could Bomer even try to claim 6ft... Has he seen himself next to Chris Pine and Ryan Gosling (both self-claiming 6 footers themselves)?
Has he seen himself next to Zachary Quinto? Like come on dude...

🎁🎂🎈🕯️ Happy Birthday Matt! 🕯️🎈🎂🎁
Wishing an actor I've only truly recently got to 'know' even though I've seen 'Flightplan' a couple of times, is Matt Bomer, who takes on some plum parts in the 'American Horror Story' Seasons. I'd like to take this opportunity of wishing this exciting actor Matt a terrific 42nd Birthday. He bears a striking resemblance to Cheyenne Jackson, and the only 💯% guarantee I have of being able to tell the difference between the two is to look at their heights - of course!
5ft11.😁👍

I have to check Matt out in 'Flightplan'. The way the actors are made up in 'American Horror Story' can look so incredibly far and away from their usual appearances that it would be a rare treat for me, or indeed for anyone to whom this series is new, to see Matt (or any of the other of the novelty stars) looking like, eh, Matt, just like he does in the picture up top!
One thing I must say, however, is that with each and every actor or actress that I have become 'acquainted' with via 'American Horror Story', I am now interested in finding out more about the other film roles and get to thoroughly know what sort of acting is their usual style. I can't imagine being let down in any of their cases! I find it such fun to start a new Season and see which members of this acting 'family' star therein, and as what, and they ARE like a big family, coming in all different shapes, sizes and colourings and having worked with each other for years. I bet they get on fantastically and have such fun together because the end results are second to NONE!

I agree with MarkK79 that Matt's physique and excellent posture make him look taller. In fact, I was getting him mixed up with (and this is a hard one to admit!) the 6ft3 Cheyenne Jackson until I saw them standing together! How embarrassing is that?
I'm loving his roles in 'American Horror Story', and am currently watching him play the part of Donovan in Season Five, 'Hotel', wherein he plays the lover of Lady Gaga, and the son of Kathy Bates's Iris. He has himself a sweet little son with long brown hair, and it's for the child's sake that I wish he'd open his eyes and realise that Lady Gaga's Countess is merely using him. He explains to his son that he is bisexual, but in finding the Countess, he has finally found his someone special.
I simply can't go lower than 5ft11 for him. 🤔😏 After all, I did mix him up with a 6ft3 guy.... 😭😝😂

Be careful, he does wear boots to pass of as a six footer. And the ground wasn't that great in magic mike, plus he may have asked for the camera angle advantage.

Editor Rob if you think about it - a proportion of men buy lifts. There are dozens of elevator shoe retailers globally, and many sellers of shoe lifts.
I mentioned on here, my neighbour once told me (he was near 5ft 11 he says in 20's and at 55 was down to 5ft 10) he saw young guys getting taller and went and ordered elevator shoes and wore them a period...after a while gave them up...but it shows, people you least expect sometimes have worn them.
A celebrity is in a looks-driven industry...part of that looks is height, and generally the taller the better in hollywood (up to a point...)

Some recent photos he was looking really close to Ryan Gosling, but then I saw some where the footwear and elevation were more even, and it's clewar Gosling is quite a bit taller. It honestly looks at least a solid two inches to my eye even with the different stance:

He is certainly nothing more than listed, though he can certainly look taller at times due to his physique and posture.

He is certainly nothing more than listed, though he can certainly look taller at times due to his physique and posture.

Rob, you can see him with Mark Sheppard and Reed Diamond, that you both met!
He really struggles to look even the full 5'11 with them, let alone 181!

Bomer gives off a classic 5'11 flat impression and he always holds great posture. No less than 2 inches shorter than Quinto and Parsons, about 3.5 inches taller than Ruffalo, barely edges Kitsch by a hair, more than 1 inch shorter than Tatum.

To me Hutch Dano looked taller than Matt on White Collar even when he wasn't standing as well as Matt, I'd say weak or solid 182 cm is a fair shout. I'm fairly convinced Bomer is a 180 cm flat guy, but he can of course look a little taller when standing with better posture than the people around him.

This weeks show when he bent down to pick up his hat he was wearing 2 inch high boots. He looks at least 2 inches shorter than Tim DEkay. Minus the two images for his boots if Tim decay is 6 ft 1 in. So minus 4 in. that makes Matt Bomer about 5'9".

@Kevin: Come on man, that's a bit harsh. Those are hardly "elevators". Looks like a pretty standard 2 cm heel - with maybe a 1,5-2 cm insole judging by the angle of his foot. He'd still probably have a small advantage over the 171 cm Mozzie in that shot though.
In a scene (can't remember episode/season, they were talking by the balcony door or something like that) I did think Matt could look 11-12 cm taller, wearing standard dress shoes and Mozzie was a little hunched over, wearing socks. He can look 6-7 cm shorter than Tim Dekay on the show, but he doesn't strike me as a true 188 cm guy - much like Hugh Jackman he could be just 186-187 cm range. I wouldn't loose much sleep had I placed a solid bet on Matt measuring 180 cm. 181 cm is maybe giving him the benefit of the doubt, but it's not impossible.

Of course in some distorted pics he can look shorter than 5'11, or taller than 5'11 like he has with Jim Parsons in some other, also distorted shots. But in this one he looks pretty much 5'11 on the nose I'd say: Click Here Saw another pic from that event that showed their footwear, which looked pretty equal, but I can't seem to find it...
Here he is with Jim Parsons and Taylor Kitsch. He looks 5'11 here as well.

Can't see footwear, but next to strong 6 footers (6'0.25) Sharif Atkins and Reed Diamond as well he can pull off 180-181 cm. Can look anywhere between 1-1.5in shorter than those guys. So 5'10.75 - 5'11.25 is my guess range for him.

@Editor Rob: He has done to me too, but I think the times he has appeared a strong 5'11, is compared to guys whom might be a bit generously listed to begin with / who's height is debatable! But he does give a decent 180 cm range impression in most of the stuff I've seen him in, so 181 isn 't impossible, I just wouldn't go any higher.

I have to estimate him at the height I think he looks on Chuck. As Rob has met Zachary Levi and he seems like a pretty legit 191 cm guy. Matt's lean frame makes him look taller at times I'm sure, but I doubt he's much taller than 5'11 after re-watching Chuck. So 5'11 for Mr. Matthew Bomer.

At times when he appeared on Chuck, he could look around the 5'10 mark and even a litte bit lower next to Zachary Levi (could look around 5'11 also, but never close to 6ft). I think 5'11 flat is a fair shout for him.
Whilst not impossible, the 5'11.25 is maybe a tad generous, Rob?

Big head, voluminous hair, small shoulders: he probably looks smaller than he really is. Dekay (tall guy, possibly in the 186-187cm range) has better proportions; Bomer looks less than 2" shorter than him in WC. Still, Zach Levi towered him in Chuck. A good 5'11" sounds good

This seems like the correct height for him, if Tim Dekay (his costar on White Collar) is 6'2 Matt has to be 5'11 at least because he doesn't look more than 3 inches shorter than Tim.
