RICHARD says on 22/Jul/10
Looks 5'10 next to Steve Carell. Carell's listed here as 5'9 so Paul is solidly 5'10.
Laos says on 22/Jul/10
5'10 Sam says on 21/Jul/10
Although I think he can look over 5'9" on-screen, he looked closer to 5'8" when I saw him in NYC a while ago. Rick Stostle says on 20/Jul/10
On the DVD commentary of "I Love You, Man", he says that his height is 5'10, that people tell him all the time that he isn't that tall, and that he's even been measured in front of people to prove his point. RICHARD says on 18/May/10
He is 5'9.Next to Alicia Silverstone in Clueless she wears heels and when he stands next to her he's still taller.Either Silverstone is listed wrong,or Rudd is. RICHARD says on 17/May/10
Rudd is a solid 5'9/5'10 guy easily. He just has a stocky build and oddly short legs ,yet manages to carry himself well,even against tall women like Lisa Kudrow and Courtney Love and even taller men like Seth Rogen and Jason Segel. He never looks short and some pics have bad angles and it depends on what people wear,posture,shoes,etc..when they ahve a pic taken. jtm says on 17/May/10
the point is he is no way near 5'9. look at him in clueless he was barely taller then alicia silverstone. A guy says on 17/May/10
Coming from a guy that is floating like an inch or so under that coveted 5'10", I wish that more people would just embrace their body and stop trying to fool themselves, because they definitely aren't fooling others. Big T says on 15/May/10
OliTheMan, I'm 5'10 1/2" and 200lbs and Rudd looks a lot like me in those pics. A guy can be 7 foot tall and still have a "squat" build, pics of people on their own are hopeless. jtm says on 13/May/10
yes rob downgrade him to at least 5'7.5. OliTheMan says on 13/May/10
ROB we have so many eye-witnesses claiming hes nowhere near 5'9"!! And loads of photo/film proof pointing towards the same thing. Please, at least, downgrade to 5'8.5".
I feel sorry that this - Click Here - is purported as 5'9". its an insult to all real 5'9"s. Im a cm below 6ft and my dad is a flat 5'9". I grew up with my dad, and Rudd just does not look that height. jtm says on 12/May/10
big t paul rudd is no more than 5'7.5. there is so much evidence that prove that. Big T says on 10/May/10
Me too Richard, and people see me as short despite being above average. jtm says on 9/May/10
i think downey claims 5'7 not 5'10. RICHARD says on 8/May/10
I'm sorta like him,too. I'm 5'10 and have a big head,short legs,long arms,and a longer upper body,yet I manage to carry myself will against others my height or taller. My proportions are odd,if I must say. fsddsbvfs says on 6/May/10
He looks so short because he's not proportional. His head is huge and his arms and legs are very short. He's close in height to Brad Pitt but Brad has never looked short in a movie. jtm says on 3/May/10
yeah my 5'10 friend was shocked on how short paul looked to him. he is between 5'6 to 5'7.5 never 5'10 in his life. OliTheMan says on 3/May/10
Yeah, Anonymous, I completely agree that that is the reason. Physically, there's not a big difference at all between 5'9" and 5'10", its one inch. But culturally and perceptively, its a big difference; 5'9" is a height that some ppl could actually say is short, especially for celebs (even if its not). 5'10" is respectable.
Nevertheless, there are loads of 5'7" - 5'9" guys who claim it, (Rudd, Downey Jr, Giamatti, Seymour Hoffman, Adam Scott, Mark Wahlberg...), but they never look as tall on screen as 'real' 5'10" stars. Those are like Peter Facinelli, Thomas Jane and (in my honest opinion) Brad Pitt, and they never come across as short on screen. Anonymous says on 2/May/10
a lot of 5'8~5'9 guys in show business claim 5'10. 5'10 is the height where its not so tall that its unbelievable or too short that people think he's a shrimp. its the perfect 'average and respectable' height that people can buy. rudd clearly isnt 5'10 but i dont blame him for using it. jtm says on 30/Apr/10
he claims 5'10? you joshing me right? sam says on 28/Apr/10
listened to the commentary of I love you Man. Rudd claims 5 ft 10. For some reason I believe him. Paul says on 25/Apr/10
take off the 4 inch boots. he is 5'-6" TOPS! I know it for a fact, don't want to elaborate as this is petty but I am 5'-9" and it's like I am in the NBA standing next to him - barefoot. Barefoot, no lifts, elevator shoes or boots. He is a great guy and I am not poo-pooing him in any way, he is ultra cool but this is fact. RICHARD says on 28/Mar/10
"Rudd is obviously not taller than 5'9. I'd say 5'9 is at his prime. This site is so quick to give people like Mark Wahlberg, Robert Downie Jr. and Kiefer Sutherland heights below 5'8.5, yet Rudd's height remains 5'9."
There must be a reason he's still listed as 5'9 then. He is still this height,maybe more. RICHARD says on 27/Mar/10
Watching 200 Cigarettes last night and I swear he is taller than 5'9 Courtney Love,esp. in their restroom scene together and he stood tall next to her in scenes when they walked down the street. He can look "smallish" as some say but he was taller than a 5'9 woman...hmmm?? JD says on 21/Mar/10
Rudd is obviously not taller than 5'9. I'd say 5'9 is at his prime. This site is so quick to give people like Mark Wahlberg, Robert Downie Jr. and Kiefer Sutherland heights below 5'8.5, yet Rudd's height remains 5'9. It's my personal opinion that this site is usually about .25" harsh of people's actual height (still worlds more accurate than most sites), but then again, I'm no expert.
PREDICTION:
RICHARD says on 29/Mar/10
In that pic with Shawn William Scott- Rudd looks only .5" shorter. 5'10.5 for Rudd. OliTheMan says on 19/Mar/10
ok guys i did some more research and found interesting photos... this is about Rudd's mysterious footwear. I've heard from people that he wears lifts and I know for a fact that he wears big heels a lot Click Here and weird-looking shoes Click Here
But I've come across some interesting stuff. From a couple of photos, Paul seems to be wearing very similar custom shoes in different films:
Click Here
Click Here
They're not exactly stylish-coloured shoes, so they probably wouldn't have been given to him on both sets. I think these ones are from home... with certain help... RICHARD says on 6/Mar/10
In that Seth Rogen pic he looks 5'9. Rogen is 5'11 right? josh says on 6/Mar/10
that is interesting olitheman i guess my friend was right about paul. he might really be around the 5'6 to 5'7.5 range. jason says on 5/Mar/10
met him the other day in New York with his son and wife. He isnt 5'9", i'd say 5'8" at most! OliTheMan says on 5/Mar/10
OK this is getting kind of ridiculous, he really should be downgraded to at least 5'8.5", and here's why:
Photos/movies are never the greatest ways to gauge someone's height, as is obvious with those such as Sly Stallone, but from them, almost everyone here agrees he looks shorter than 5'9". He is too many inches below Seth Rogen in Knocked Up, Jason Segel ( Click Here) and Andy Samberg in I Love You, Man ( Click Here) - and he always has footwear advantage ( Click Here) ( Click Here). What's more, watch The Cider House Rules, exact same height as Tobey Maguire ( Click Here) and watch Anchorman, shorter than Steve Carell. Furthermore, people have noted weird stuff going on in his films, such as him sitting on a cushion in Role Models, or the cloth floor hangers lowered in I Love You Man.
In addition there are countless photos which definitely dont cry 69 inches for this funnyman. Click Here
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY...
THERE HAVE BEEN SOME ACTUAL SIGHTINGS ON THIS SITE, nearly all of which state he is a lot shorter than 5'9" or just simply say he is "small". There was even a link to an E! article, in which the journalist said that he "screams 5'6""
In every interview ive read where Rudd is asked his height, the reply has been "I'm 5'10"" but has always been followed by him saying "though people always think I'm shorter"... yeah cus he is!! josh says on 28/Feb/10
i have mentioned this on the jason segel page. my friend who is 5'10 met paul before and told me he towered over him and said he looked almost short as him and i am only 5'5 now i don't think he is that short but he sure is no where near 5'9 i would say 5'7.5. JoshJ says on 28/Feb/10
Oli, are you seriously trying to gauge his height from that picture with adam brody? do a mulligan RICHARD says on 20/Feb/10
Looks an inch taller than 5'9 Jay Mohr in 200 Cigarettes so he's 5'10-5'10.5 tops. OliTheMan says on 19/Feb/10
oh and also this:
Click Here
Look at Paul compared to Adam Brody? I know he's leaning down far but there's 6 inches difference between the two. BTW, I know Adam's wearing boots but so is Rudd, I've seen other photos from this shoot OliTheMan says on 19/Feb/10
hey everyone, how tall is Zach Galifianakis, cus...
Click Here
From The Hangover, and whatnot, its my guess that Zach cannot be more than 5'7.5"
Paul is only about half an inch taller here. Nevertheless, this isnt the best photo as we cannot see the ground or shoes paul86 says on 10/Feb/10
Used to get listed at 5'10'' in the late 1990's. JD says on 28/Jan/10
Rudd's a funny guy. I haven't checked out the clip, but those old Broncos had some messed up seating arrangements I'll tell you that. In Role Models Rudd had some big shoes on, but I'm not convinced it was to make him look taller. I don't think Rudd has 'short mans syndrome' - hell, I'm 6'0 and I wear big shoes, it doesn't mean its to make me look taller, I just like the look of the shoes. Rudd is at minimum 5'8.5, which is average (if legit) IMO, and at max 5'9.5. It's tough to tell based on the actors he's worked with (which themselves all have debatable heights), but Rudd doesn't seem out of the ordinary to me. I think 5'9 (maybe 5.8.75) is bang on. Richie says on 24/Jan/10
Why does Rudd have to seat on a cushion in the back seat of the jeep in the movie Role Models? I'll tell you "short mans syndrome" He appears under 5'8" Richie Rich says on 24/Jan/10
Rudd has SMALL MAN syndrome/under 5'8", he wears big ass heeled shoes and in Role Models, check out when Rudd is riding in the backseat of the jeep, he's jacked up on some kind of ass cushion. Amazing/funny!!!!!!!!! sam says on 24/Jan/10
Paul Rudd is 5'9, that's not even short.
Also adam sandler, seth rogan, bill hader. Their funny and not short. Heights got nothing to do with humor. LOOTY says on 18/Jan/10
He's shorter than Seann William Scott in a walkdown scene in Role Models. And given the apparently acceptable logic, as he and many contemporaries are funny they must be compensating for something, ergo are quite short? JD says on 29/Dec/09
thank you jlloydsam, if you're telling the truth than that's a pretty useful post. certainly alot more useful than:
"he might have been a bit taller than 5'8 lisa kudrow once on friends 10 years ago, i don't have any pics and i'm gonna completely ignore EVERY other picture that indicates he isn't taller than 5'9, but HE'S 5'10!... everyone else is the stubborn one, not me! god i love this site!" JlloydSam says on 27/Dec/09
Im 5`9in, and i met Rudd in New York a few years ago, he gave me an autograph, and he looked the same height as me ;) Realme2008 says on 27/Dec/09
It doesn't matter if he looked taller then Lisa Kudrow on "Friends". They do all kinds of things to make men look taller on screen. Like manipulating camera angles or putting men in "special" footwear. RICHARD says on 26/Dec/09
Exactly. He is taller than Kudrow,yet ppl are stubborn and say he's 5'7-5'8.5,God,I love this site. ME says on 25/Dec/09
he seemed to be an inch taller than supposdley 5'8" lisa kudrow in 'friends', and she often wear hills. that's wierd, because he doesent look more than 5'8.5" himself.
only whoever seen him in person can tell his exact hight. JD says on 18/Dec/09
you mean paul rudd was taller than 5'6 chirstine taylor and 5'1 reese witherspoon? well this is definitely evidence that he'd a solid 5'10, case closed. sorry we doubted you and your infallable evivence, oh mighty richard. maybe try explaining the pictures were he's clearly not taller than 5'9? RICHARD says on 15/Dec/09
I just watched Overnight Delivery and he was taller than Reese Witherspoon and Christine Taylor so he is solidly 5'10. I'm very sure he is this tall. He didn't look short at all next to them and certainly not 5'7 OliTheMan says on 15/Dec/09
he is definitely 5'8" Realme2008 says on 11/Dec/09
Kirk, Seth Rogen is 5'11". Paul is definitely not 5'7" either. JD says on 11/Dec/09
lol of course he said 5'10 every 5'9 guy says 5'10 Kirk says on 9/Dec/09
This guy is 5'7. He doesn't look 5'9, which is what Seth Rogen is. Realme2008 says on 9/Dec/09
Um... yeah Mark Wahlberg said he was 5'10", and Ryan Seacrest claimed 5'9". Doesn't make it true or accurate. ys says on 7/Dec/09
paul rudd is 5'10. he said it in the commentary of i love you, man OliTheMan says on 22/Nov/09
Yeah JD, i think the second one proves that Rudd has to be under 5'9", more around 5'8.5". Cus seth's legs arent even straight yet hes got like 3 inches JD says on 22/Nov/09
lol the last one's just there to confuse the hell out of everyone. i'm sure segel was leaning against something.

Click Here OliTheMan says on 21/Nov/09
oh btw, Andy Samberg is definitely more 5'9" RICHARD says on 11/Nov/09
OK to be fair he didn't look very short next to Jason Segel in I Love You,Man nor does he appear small in any other films but can we just give Paul 5'10 for his height ??? The only time Paul's looked taller was in Halloween 6 back in 1995. He looked 5'11-5'11.5 in that film Kyle says on 6/Nov/09
He said he was 5'10" on Craig Ferguson's show. JD says on 26/Oct/09
coool richard, you're hard evidence is a TV show from 10 years ago. no pictures, no video, no new evidence, just the same old 'he looked tall on Friends' bull you've been selling for months. it's actually disturbing how you can completely ignore all the proof we're showing you that he's not taller than 5'9. RICHARD says on 7/Oct/09
Guess what douchebags I'm back and here to set you straight about Mr.Rudd's height,listen up and shutup and please leave your stupid trolling words out of it. Watch Friends and you'll see he's TALLER THAN LISA KUDROW,MATT LEBLANC,COURTENEY COX,AND JENNIFER ANNISTON and isn't much shorter than David Schwimmer and Matthew Perry so he is a good 5'10-5'11 guy,if not at most 5'9.5 so I guess I went overboard with him being over 6',my bad, but I got my facts straight now and enough with these troll comments because I'm not trolling just telling it like it is. =P willhelm says on 25/Sep/09
pauls shorter look at the movie scenes OliTheMan says on 25/Sep/09
Rob! Can we please get him down to 174!! Where r u? Leung says on 25/Sep/09
I could live with 174 cm for Rudd. Realme2008 says on 24/Sep/09
It too hard to tell heights with that photo, because they are not lined up. Some of them are closer to the camera. If you look closely it does appear that Rudd is leaning in slightly too. His posture isn't that great. willhelm says on 24/Sep/09
take a look at paul rudd's movie I love you man.
The seen where he is walking out of the clothing store.
The cloth floor hangers were lowered. To make him appear taller.
Rashida Jones is like 5'1 or something and the two of them are the same hieght OliTheMan says on 24/Sep/09
Thank you Leung! lol
all I am trying to get is his height down to 5'8.5" Leung says on 23/Sep/09
OliTheMan,
I'm gonna give you credit for that one because he actually does look 5'8"-5'8.5" in that photo. I'm starting to think Rudd might be a shade under 5'9". OliTheMan says on 23/Sep/09
Hey, heres another interesting picture, which might either endorse the idea that Rudd is shorter, or that Jonah Hill is taller:
Click Here
Jonah isnt standing up straight and he is only about an inch (maybe an inch and a half) shorter than Rudd. To be fair, Rudd isnt totally straight either but such a small difference shouldnt be the case, I mean Jonah is listed as 5'6" on this site.. OliTheMan says on 11/Sep/09
cmon, look at their eye-levels! he does NOT look taller! do what I did, start from the first entry on this page, and scroll up to see what everyone has said. A LOT of ppl and A LOT of evidence says hes shorter. theres even a magazine article where the writer says he looks 5'6" in person (no agendas there). im not sayin hes that short but I'm simply trying to get him down half-an-inch cus its the general consensus of the ppl who've written on this page that he is not 5'9" Leung says on 10/Sep/09
OliTheMan,
Why do you make the assumption that Rudd has footwear advantage over Nicholson?
We can't see Nicholson's heels because his trousers are covering them, perhaps Nicholson is the the one wearing thicker heels????
I'll grant that Rudd has the puffy hair but he still looks slightly taller.
In every photo that you have posted I think Rudd looks like a regular 5'9" guy. As I said before 5'8.5" is possible, but I think more likely 5'9". OliTheMan says on 10/Sep/09

All these pictures above REALLY give me the impression that Rudd is the same height as Nicholson or maybe even shorter (and I'm not even taking into account that Rudd's hair is gelled up and his shoes look bigger-heeled than Nicholson's). I don't mind accepting his height at 5'9" on this site, but in my honest opinion, and all of some evidence I've seen, I think he's around 5'8" - 5'8.5. And Leung, you can never use movie appearance as accountable evidence, not really, I mean I always thought Mel Gibson was around 6ft+! Leung says on 28/Aug/09
Regarding the shoes, we can clearly see Rudd's shoes which are normal dress shoes, however we can't see Nicholson's shoes because his trousers are covering them, they appear to be slip-on shoes which are often thin soled but that's not always the case because slip-on dress shoes can have regular size heel, therefore to be fair we can't make assumptions that either has footwear advantage.
Also pay attention to their eye contact, Rudd is looking down slightly, while Nicholson eye's are looking up. My take on it is that Rudd is slightly taller than Nicholson.
The thought of Rudd being around 5'8.5" has occurred to me before so it's possible, but based on his movies I have to say that 5'9" is accurate. Realme2008 says on 28/Aug/09
I think this photo is pretty interesting.
Click Here - Paul is craning his neck downward, and Reese is craning her neck upward and he still is towering over her. He does have a footwear advantage though.
Click Here - In this photo the height difference is even more noticeable. He makes Reese Witherspoon look like a little girl.
Click Here - Another photo where he towers over her. I'm thinking Paul Rudd is about 5'10" or so in the shoes he is wearing. That would put him at about 5'8.5"- 5'9" barefoot. OliTheMan says on 28/Aug/09
OK, Leung, i just think that Rudd's shoes definitely give him advantage against Nicholson. I dont have a bias against Paul Rudd, I just honestly think him to be 5'8.5" MAX, which is why I'm fighting hard for it. I would have absolutely NO problem admitting hes 5'9" if I believed it, i think he's awesome, but I've just seen tons of evidence suggesting otherwise. I know ppl who have met him. Ive seen loads of ppl on CelebHeights questioning 5'9". maybe im wrong, but at least i'm keeping an argument going on this site, which is what its more about I believe. Leung says on 27/Aug/09
OliTheMan, you can't compare them that way, Nicholson has got sloped shoulders and Rudd has got square shoulders. Also Rudd is wearing normal dress shoes, they don't look chunky. He is certainly not shorter than Nicholson, it just seems to me that you have a bias towards trying to downgrade Rudd's height and you are letting your bias affect your judgement. Rudd is a regular 5'9" Joe. OliTheMan says on 27/Aug/09
Realme2008, Leung, his shoulders are below Nicholsons? i think his hair gives him height too and his shoes are clunkier and bigger. Definitely 5'8.5" at THE MAX Leung says on 25/Aug/09
yeah Rudd looks slightly taller than Nicholson.
I am happy with 5'9" for Rudd, he looks that height in all his movies. Realme2008 says on 25/Aug/09
Olitheman,
I actually think Paul is slightly taller then 5'8.5 Nicholson in the pictures. It's very hard to tell when there is only a half inch difference. What it really comes down to is posture and footwear. Paul Rudd is probably a weak 5'9" or 5'8.5" at the least.

actually yeah, Richard, thatd be great.
one thing tho, seeing as ur not a troll, what dyou have to say about my Nicholson pic? RICHARD says on 23/Aug/09
If I'm a troll then everybody here,including you Realme2008,are all trolls because I'm not the only one here who thinks Paul is tall and watch friends and you'll see he is TALLER than Lisa Kudrow and Matt LeBlanc. God,people like you make me sick and think your so superior and smarter than one person. I might just leave this site and let you get back to writing things about me so you can feel better about yourself. Josh.J says on 22/Aug/09
he did look slightly shorter than 5'9" steve carell in 40 year old virgin. i'd say 5'8.5". OliTheMan says on 22/Aug/09
Realme2008, thanking u for supporting me and ur right, that Reese pic isnt really corroborative. id just like to say tho that the Anonymous below me is actually me. i forgot to put in my name Anonymous says on 21/Aug/09
A-ha!!! I've FINALLY GOT HIM! HERE IS THE PROOF THAT HE IS 5'8"!!!!
here he is with 5'8.5" Jack Nicholson. He has shoe advantage yet he is STILL about half an inch shorter. BOOM
Click Here
I'm sorry RICHARD, but you cant deny the truth in this pic. Rob PLEASE downgrade him now Realme2008 says on 21/Aug/09
Oh, please Richard is a obvious troll who has absolutely no idea what he is talking about. He's just trying to get a reaction from people. Rob should ban him.If you have a theory you need to back it up or show physical evidence to support it... common sense. Stop wasting everyone's time. Every picture clearly shows that Paul is in the 5'8"-5'9" range, and definitely no taller.
Olitheman I don't know about that picture with Reese Witherspoon, because she might have a slight pavement advantage. Looks like she's higher up to me. OliTheMan says on 19/Aug/09

With Reese Witherspoon OliTheMan says on 19/Aug/09
thank you JD. ok, Richard, im sorry if i went OTT when attacking you. it wasnt called for. but u have to admit, others than me have accused you of trolling. i remember many accusing you of BEING the celebrities themselves. I wouldnt get so mad and attack you so much if it wasnt for your complete lack of objectivity. You seem determined to say we're wrong and that he is not 5'9" or under (u either say he is 6'2" to 5'10"), despite having no evidence or counterpoints to our own. and the others who claim he is really short (5'5") normally claim to have met him, so at least have an argument, even though i dont believe hes THAT short. He seems like a nice guy, great actor and good-lookin dude so whats the problem with u accepting that he could POSSIBLY be 5'9" or under? JD says on 18/Aug/09
richard the thing is, you've consistantly come up with no evidence at all to support your theory. i'm sure if you just look at those links i posted you'll see he's not 5'10. but i don't think that's going to make a difference. i think paul rudd could come up to you with a measuring tape and say 'i'm 5'9, measure it', and you'd still be on here saying he's 5'11. what makes you think you know what you're talking about when it comes to people height? what qualifies you as a height expert? maybe you should just consider the possibily that you're wrong: the evidence doesn't lie. RICHARD says on 18/Aug/09
Ok but other people claim he's as short as 5'4/5'5 to as tall as 6'0,yet you don't attack them at all. I know what I'm talking about and I would like to not be called a troll OliTheMan says on 18/Aug/09
Richard, if you're so much more of an intellect than I am, how come ur 'research' keeps spawning different results?! u CONSISTENTLY get other actors/actresses heights way wrong (u said Rashida Jones was over 5'6"...) and ive claimed that Rudd is everything from 5'9" to 6'2".... WHAT?! even Rudd admits he's no taller than 5'10". u make ridiculous claims all the time RICHARD says on 17/Aug/09
I'm not trolling at all. I know what I'm talking about when it comes to people's heights !!!!! People like shouldn't even be allowed to use a computer nor badmouth more intellectual people.
Here's my research Segel=6'4,Rudd=5'10 OliTheMan says on 17/Aug/09
thanks for agreeing LG69. and RICHARD... Rashida Jones isnt 5'6"+. shes listed as 5'3" on this site... i love ur obvious research. and also, ive seen ur input on other celeb's pages on this site, everyone complains that you troll so please just put a lid on it, ok?
Click Here
there's a pic of him. if that's a bona fide 5'9" + guy than i must be going out of my mind. my dads shorter than me and he's 5'9" and so i can recognize that height. Paul Rudd = 5'8" LG69 says on 17/Aug/09
I agree with "OliTheMan", about Paul having short legs and torso. He's not a lean guy, he's sort of stocky. Anyway, I have always thought he looked 5'8". JD says on 16/Aug/09

sorry i don't know how to make them links, but if you'll copy and paste those you'll see that he's definitely not taller than 5'9. he's at least 1 inch shorter than sampberg who is at most 5'10. he is at least 7 inches shorter (and has a mad footwear advantage) next to 6'4 jason segel. and in the last picture, a solid 2.5 - 3.5 inches shorter than 5'11 seth rogen. i think we can put the 'he's 5'11' discussion to bed (unless seth rogen is actually 6'3) Taylor says on 16/Aug/09
Richard, how can you possibly say he looks about as tall as Jason Segel? Jason TOWERS over Paul so much in I Love You, Man that it's almost comical. BTW, in the DVD commentary for that film Paul mentions how Jason is MUCH taller than him, and then he proceeds to ask Jason how tall he is. Jason says "I"m 6'4", how tall are you?" and Paul responds that he's 5'10". Paul then goes on to explain how most people believe he's much shorter. He seemed really convinced that he's 5'10". I'd say he doesn't really know his own height and he's more like 5'8.5" RICHARD says on 15/Aug/09
For some reason he looks taller next to actresses 5'6 and over,esp Lisa Kudrow in Friends and Rashida Jones in I Love You,Man,yet even next to tall guys like Seth Rogen and Jason Segel he looks about their heights so HE IS A SOLID 5'10-5'11 guy. No way is he shorter than that. OliTheMan says on 15/Aug/09
if u look at those outside shots of Paul Rudd, his body looks pretty compact and short. he's not a lean guy, short legs and chest and no way more than 5'9". In honest opinion, i'd say 5'8" flat. i really think he should be downgraded. theres a lot of evidence to support this. in outer shots of him and seth rogen, hes always a few inches shorter than the 5'10.5" (i think) - 5'11" man. and plus i went on this site, where ppl were talking about seeing him in public. there were 6 comments, 5 of them noted that they thought he was noticeably short. noticeably short wouldnt mean over 5'8". Rob, downgrade please? and Andy Samberg should be added MD says on 15/Aug/09
Andy Samberg is not taller than 5'9". The end. JD says on 14/Aug/09
richard buddy, he's not 5'10, there's literally no evidence to suggest this at all except you thinking that he looks taller. andy samberg is 5'10, and has a solid inch and half on rudd. side by side, flat ground, standing streight. segel is a tall dude for sure, but his posture isn't the greatest and of course they'd give rudd camera trick advantage. no one's saying he's short, no one's saying he's not cool, he's just not taller than 5'9. please present some decent evidence in your next post other than 'he can look 6 feet' RICHARD says on 14/Aug/09
Paul looked 5'9.5-5'10 easily next to Jason Segel and Andy Samberg in I Love You,Man. Segel towered him because he's 6'4 and Samberg is 5'10,though he could be 5'11. I really think Paul should be upgraded to a solid 5'10 listing because he looks way taller than 5'7/5'8,yet he can pull off looking 6'0 in some movies which I why I alwyas say he looks 6'0 Realme2008 says on 13/Aug/09
Andy Samberg is 5'10", and in scenes with Paul Rudd he was an inch and a half or two inches taller then him. I also noticed in an outside scene in "I Love You Man" Andy Samberg is wearing converse shoes, and Paul Rudd is wearing dress shoes. Meaning Paul had the footwear advantage, but Adam was still at least an inch taller than Paul. Paul is closer to 5'8". JD says on 12/Aug/09
watching 'i love you man' he's no taller than 5'9. 5'10 (max) andy samberg has at least LEAST and inch on him, and 5'10 JK simmons has more than an inch on him. in most other movies he looks a bit over 5'9 but i love you man he definitely looks 5'8. also if you see photos of him next to rashida jones and jason segel at premiers, he looks about 5'8-5'8.5.

hey Rock Chalk, how was his body build? Jcb says on 29/Jul/09
Richard u are clearly deranged he is 5ft 9in if he was 6ft why would this site put him at 5ft 9in. honestely your a bit obsessed. Rock Chalk says on 26/Jul/09
Richard, I know this isn't about weight but you are way off on the 190lbs. No offense but I got a good laugh when I read that. I would estimate a max of 170lbs on average. I have stood barefoot next to him in our swim suits. Doesn't really matter how tall he is, he was a good guy and doesn't appear to have changed in that respect. I'm a fan. RICHARD says on 14/Jul/09
No way is he only 5'8-5'8.75 !!!!!! He is 5'9/5'10 and weighs 190 lbs. Taylor says on 13/Jul/09
I watched Paul Rudd on SNL. In skits he was clearly at least an inch shorter than 5'9-5'10 Andy Samberg, and he was just a tiny bit shorter than 5'9" Fred Armisen. He looks in the 5'8" to 5'8.75" range for sure... Rock Chalk probably has it exactly right Rock Chalk says on 2/Jul/09
I hung out with Paul while he went to KU and lived in KC. Back then he had long shoulder length hair. I'm exactly 5'11 3/4 barefoot. He is about 5'8 3/4 max. I was checking out some heights of other celebs on this site and wondered how accurate they were. I was just watching Forgetting Sarah Marshall and saw Paul and checked what you guys say about his height. Now I know how way off some of you are. Whenever I see him in movies I can figure out how tall the other actors are by comparing them to Paul. RICHARD says on 25/Jun/09
He had a cameo in Year One and he towered over Jack Black and Michael Cera. RICHARD says on 24/Jun/09
He's always taller than his female co-stars whether they may be Lisa Kudrow,Michelle Pfeiffer,Alicia Silverstone,Stacey Dash,Charlize Theron,Courtney Love so how do people say he's only 5'7-5'8 when he's clearly taller than them. micheal says on 23/Jun/09
if sean william scott is a legit 5-11 this guy seems like 5-9.5 to maybe even 5-10, but in many other movies (like Anchorman, even though that movie had a lot of tall guys) he seemed pretty small so 5-9 could be right. OliTheMan says on 23/Jun/09
guys i just was on this site, where some ppl had commented on seeing Paul Rudd in person. they all said that he was a short guy.
Click Here Doug says on 22/Jun/09
Just watched Friends. He looks a fraction taller than Matt le Blanc maybe 0.5 inch. He had "hair advantage" but he definately seemd a shade taller than Matt le Blanc. If i was to guess I'd have gone with 176 cm. Definately no lower than 5'9". He can often give a short impression though like a lot of 5'9" men can even though it is average height. RICHARD says on 21/Jun/09
If he's really 5'8 like you guys are saying then Lisa Kudrow should be downgraded to 5'6-5'7 becuase Paul was taller than her in Friends and she's listed at 5'8 here so he is 5'9-5'10. End of discussion,coprende RICHARD says on 20/Jun/09
Click Here. He looks 5'11-6' next to Segel. Period Carlos says on 20/Jun/09
To Richard- Paul is not 5ft 9! He's 5ft 8! OliTheMan says on 19/Jun/09
well then RICHARD, answer my question? show me ONE picture where he is 6ft RICHARD says on 19/Jun/09
I'm not trolling,you putz. I'm just tellling it like it is. Paul is definetly not a short guy like this sight has him at. OliTheMan says on 18/Jun/09
hey Richard, since ur just trolling, take a look at this:
Click Here
if hes 6ft, then he'd be 4 inches shorter... hmmm dont see that. plus, he said he was 5"10", so why would he be anywhere near 6"? RICHARD says on 17/Jun/09
He looked taller than Seann in Role Models. Seann's 5'11 so that makes Paul 6'0. OliTheMan says on 15/Jun/09
RICHARD ur SUCH AN IDIOT!!! ur so obviously trolling. everyone knows he was shorter than Sean William Scott PLUS he was wearing heels!

Well I just watched Role Models and he was taller than Seann William Scott and that McLovin kid; he looked a solid 5'11-6' next to them. Also I watched Over Her Dead Body and he towered 5'8 Lake Bell so he's at least 5'11. OliTheMan says on 8/Jun/09
ok Richard, u REALLY seem to have a problem with this so please show me a pic or a video that has convinced he is 5"10" or 6ft as u have claimed. I'm dying to see it josh says on 8/Jun/09
yeah i agree that he cant be as short as 5'6 or 5'7 but to be honest he never looked 5'9 to me i think he is really 5'8 and i hope rob downgrades him to that height RICHARD says on 8/Jun/09
No way is Paul only 5'6-5'7 !!!!!!!! I can't stress it enough that he's 5'9/5'10 at most.
Why do people have a hard time seeing Paul is a legit 5'9-5'10 guy ?????? Anonymous says on 7/Jun/09
He is only an inch taller than Michelle Pfeiffer who is around 5'5.
I saw his play on Broadway with Julia Roberts and Bradley Cooper and he was considerably shorter than both, but then again, Julia is rather tall.
I would say perhaps 5'6-7 range. He looks taller though on TV and screen. The guy is amazingly talented, very handsome, and incredibly young-looking for his age.
And he has a large head, which makes him look taller maybe. johnruddfan says on 6/Jun/09
He's shorter than Tobey Maguire in The Cedar House Rules. Tobey is 5ft 7.5 in, so Paul Rudd is 5ft 6in, maybe 5ft 7. But who cares about his height?! He's still sexy as hell! OliTheMan says on 6/Jun/09
Click Here
look at his shoes there. so thats why u cant take anything from Role Models as a proper height reference for this guy RICHARD says on 25/May/09
Thank you for agreeing with me Big T. I always knew Paul was above average in height and not under 5'9 like these guys are saying. I mean come on there's estimates as low as 5'5 for this guy and he never looks this short at all.,plus if he was this height then everybody would tower him in all his movies. 5'9-6' sounds fair for Paul. Big T says on 25/May/09
He was easily taller than Kudrow in Friends, and wasn't short next to the other guys. On the cover of the latest Vanity Fair he is eye-to-eye with Seth Rogen, but Rudd seems to be wearing thick shoes and Rogen has bare feet. I think this listed height is bang on. yoyo says on 24/May/09
beside jason siegel looks 5ft8.5(173cm). RICHARD says on 21/May/09
Exactly he looks 5'9 or above yet these people estimate him from 5'5--5'8 !!!! Paul is certainly an actor who looks 5'9 to anywhere as tall as 6'0 because if he was 5'7 or 5'8 he would look around Tom Cruise's height and Paul never looks tiny as that. Paul IS 5'9--6'0 !!! Dom says on 21/May/09
He never looks under 5'9" RICHARD says on 17/May/09
If he's only 5'8 then tell me how was he an inch or so over Lisa Kudrow on Friends ??????? He definelty isn't under 175 cm or Lisa is under 5'8. You guys need to check your sources OliTheMan says on 17/May/09
Rob we're begging you to downgrade this awesome actor to a rightful 5"8" MD says on 17/May/09
No, you're hysterical. RICHARD says on 16/May/09
Paul is 5'9-5'11. He looks very tall on screen and what's with everybody saying he's 5'7-5'8 and not 5'9. You can say he's 5'8 but when somebody types in 5'9 they go all crazy and 5'9 isn't that far from 5'8. Paul is more of a 5'10 guy. Anonymous says on 16/May/09
No way is Paul Rudd 5'9"! More like 5'7". He is a very short man. 5'8" TOPS. 5'9" is hysterical, one of the rare terrible estimates I've seen on this site. Anonymous says on 4/May/09
I'm 5'7, 5'8 if i were my lift shoes, met Rudd, were from the same town in NJ. were about the same height, I was in sandals. No way he's 5'9. Maybe in shoes MD says on 30/Apr/09
Rob,
Can you stop RICHARD from his obvious trolling of this thread? His responses are so ridiculous as to be ignored if there weren't so many of them, and if he wasn't so persistent at typing the crap he does. OliTheMan says on 30/Apr/09
OK Rob you have to downgrade this guy to 5ft 8.5! Seriously! He wears lifts and still barely makes 5"9". He ALWAYS looks that short in his movies anonymous says on 29/Apr/09
There is no such thing as morning height. Paul rudd never looked 6 foot 2 in his whole life. All the movies i've seen him in he looks 5 foot 9 max. 6 foot 2 is outrageous. He never looked as tall as ryan reynolds or will smith or ashton kutcher. RICHARD says on 27/Apr/09
No I'm not crazy but to me Paul looks very tall and could pass for 6'-6'2 guy. He carries his height well and looks 6' in basically every movie he's starred in. Give Paul 6'-6'2 for his height. JP says on 27/Apr/09
Richard are you mad 6-6'1 thats crazy talk! he's not even taller than Seth Rogen so how could he possibly be even over 5'10-11, and in role models he's a couple of inches shorter than Sean William Scott i think he's 5'9 max, even maybes 5'8.5. RICHARD says on 26/Apr/09
Paul looks 6'2 to me in some films. RICHARD says on 24/Apr/09
I really think Paul should be upgraded to 6'-6'1 because in I Love You,Man he didn't look much shorter than Jason Segel. Paul is most definetly 6' or so. 5'9 is too low for him. LG69 says on 20/Apr/09
Paul has always looked about 5'8" in movies, or as a guest on Leno or Letterman. Antron says on 20/Apr/09
5'8" seems more like it. JP says on 17/Apr/09
I found this photo as well, I know Jason Segel is a bad reference because he's 6'4 and gonna dwarf anyone below 5'10" but here and other photos strongly suggest to me that Paul Rudd 5'8 maybes a little bit more but not a lot! 5'9 could possibly be his morning height first thing out of bed but not his height properly.
Click Here JP says on 17/Apr/09
That photo below MD posted where he's stood next to 6'4" Jason Segel, he looks about 8 inches shorter at least, I don't whether it is just a dodgy photo not in his favour but judging from that he's 5'8.5 MAX more likely 5'8, he looks about three inches shorter than 5'11 Seth Rogen aswell so 5'8 seems to me his actual height, but I could be wrong. RICHARD says on 10/Apr/09
He looks 6'in Over Her Dead Body. He always looks 6' to me in all his films except Clueless,where he looks 5'9 MAX. If you guys can not give him 6' then give him 5'10-5'11.75. He's already 40 and hasn't aged since Clueless. OliTheMan says on 9/Apr/09

Paul is nothing more than 5'8", though, he can pull off even looking 5'10", at times. Jeff says on 28/Mar/09
Paul is about 5' 8". Went to high school with him and last saw him in Aug 07 at our 20th high school reunion in KC. That is also with his shoes on. He was a little overweight in hs but now is slim and in very good shape. tedinct says on 27/Mar/09
he looks a bit shorter than Steve Carrell in 40 Year Old Virgin Byron T. says on 25/Mar/09
Paul Rudd himself claimed on Craig Ferguson that he's 5'10, but people always assume that he's shorter. While his claim was semi-outrageous, I'd say that he's 5'9 tops, nothing more. Mr. R says on 24/Mar/09
I agree. Rudd is at best 5-8. RICHARD says on 24/Mar/09
His height is very tricky. He looks 6' to me next to Segel and Segel's 6'4. Paul is 6' MAX Alex says on 24/Mar/09
He just claimed on Craig Ferguson that he's 5'10". Lol. Sure. Taylor says on 24/Mar/09
Just saw I Love You, Man... Jason Segel towered over him in most scenes by 8 inches or more. He's 5'8" at the most like I've always seen him as. Anonymous says on 23/Mar/09
Yea, dude ain't that tall but if Seth Rogen is listed as 5'9", I must look like a giant then cuz he looks over 6'. I'm 5'10" but people swear that I'm taller, looking at least 6', and I'm not a skinny dude. I work out and considered stocky. Some people "wear" their heights differently, that's all.

Segel looks a solid 8" taller here, and he's 6'4". Rudd is 5'8" at best. Realme2008 says on 21/Mar/09
Paul Rudd looks so tiny in his converse shoes. I think he's more 5'8".
Click Here Wow, is this guy adorable!!! Realme2008 says on 18/Mar/09
Did you see the people in the elevator he was standing next to? The really really tall. Like 6'5" and up tall. Of course they are going to make him look short and average. 5'8.5'' says on 18/Mar/09
seth rogen lists himself at 5'9. he is a giant compared to the rest of the 40 year old virgin cast, which includes carell and rudd. Also watch pineapple express, at the beginning when hes is handing serving ppl, he gets out of an elevator and looks really short. so rudd is about 5'7 to 5'8. worship BabyPunkRock says on 17/Mar/09
His height is so odd. Like next to Jason Segel, who's 6'4", he doesn't look deathly short like I'd expect him to be. And then, in his movie "I Could Never Be Your Woman", he looks a couple of inches taller than Jon Lovita who's listed as 5'9" here. But he looks likes he has such short legs and short torso? |
