I am 5'2" and I'm not ashamed of it and always say so too. I'm always meeting people who say they are 5'4" to 5'7" and I find myself looking eye to eye with them. Someone is lying and it's not me. RH is 5'7"? OK Richard, whatever you need.

Hammond is nowhere near 5'7" Im 5'7" on a good day and after stretching out fully at yoga, and having met him, I "towered" above him... I would say 5'5" to 5'6" at the most! I think he rounds up his height (like me) but he was definitely noticably shorter than me! williams landaverde says on 12/Jun/10
bueno pienso que la no es nada importante....yo mido 17o2 cm...y me siento excelente no quiero crecer mas.....:) Dean says on 3/Jun/10
Hes probably about 5'7 but I wouldnt say thats a fairly normal height. it is quite short for a male. Im about 177cm(5'9.5) when barefoot and in the night time when at my lowest and I feel im maybe a little under average even! I think 5'8-6'1 is pretty much most people..if your out of that bracket your either particuly tall or short respectivly! I feel that 5'10-5'11 is average for a Uk male so i need to grow about half an inch ha ;) Kirsty says on 31/May/10
Richard is 5"7 and his wife is 5"1 (she said so in his book On The Edge) Shortstop says on 8/May/10
Well, considering Jeremy Clarkson is 6"5 (supposedly the height of Twilight's Emmett - my friend won't shut up about Twilight and Emmett) I'd look like Tinkerbell next to him and I'm a fairly tall girl of 5"5 1/2 Anonymous says on 30/Apr/10
TV makes every1 look smaller. he probably is 5ft7. it says the same on loads of sites. they cant all say the same thing if it isnt true. katy says on 20/Apr/10
well im a 175 cm girl in australia and im the second tallest in my grade, and definately over the average height. I have nothing to compare richard to because ive never seen him except on tv, but i dont care how tall he is, hes really hot, and hes hilarious. :P nom says on 19/Mar/10
he must be shorter than that ? but standing next to jeremy doesnt help Anonymous says on 17/Mar/10
hammond is 5ft6.I am his biggest fan. although not biggest in hieght. kim says on 4/Mar/10
Come on do you think people believe that and how tall is James May! rock says on 16/Feb/10
Richard Hammed & Chris Moyles.
Richard is way smaller, he's probably 5`5.

i think that jeremy is tall so is james. but i think richard is small like me! well he dose stand next to tall people but when you stand next to the Audience you do still look small. Vibram says on 22/Jan/10
He's 5ft6 at best. He was a noticeable 1" - 1.5" shorter than Chris Moyles who's a weak 5ft7 at best.
Hammond: 5ft6 / 167cm
May: 5ft10 3/4 / 179cm
Clarkson: 6ft3 1/2 / 193cm (likely 6ft4 peak in 90s) John Sels says on 20/Jan/10
Hammond is never 5ft 7in, I'm 5ft 5.5in (that extra .5 is very important!) and when I met him / had pictures taken he was a tiny bit smaller than me. Annie says on 8/Dec/09
for everyone who claims he's under 5'5. If he is that short, his wife has to be like 4 ft. so obviously 5'6-5'7 ish Andy says on 1/Dec/09
Hammond=5'4-5'5
May=5'10-5'11
Clarkson=6'2-6'3
They all use the 2-3 inch rule of entertainment land!! CMan says on 27/Nov/09
I know how you feel SFM, I'm a weak 5'7 because of my stocky build people think I'm 5'6 and on a good day some may think I'm 5'8 even 5'9! I think that Richard is a solid 5'7 no more no less... SFM says on 18/Nov/09
I measured my height this morning and I was 5'7.25in. Last night I was 5'6.75in and I weigh 62-63kg or 9st 12 lb to 10 stone.
I am a fairly slight build not skinny but the same proportions as Hammond. People have said that I am anywhere between 5'6" and 5'8". I think a lot of people aren't very good at predicting height if you aren't of a big build, they seem to seem to think you are shorter than you really are. I was even called 5'3" by one woman and later 5'10" by another! Random Person says on 10/Nov/09
5'6 I reckon TopGear_No1_Fan says on 6/Nov/09
i love Richard Hammond but i only found out today when i read this that i am only 3 inches shorter than him and 12!! greg p says on 19/Oct/09
i dont think hammond is as tall 5.7,id say he could be 5.5or 5.6,what ever is height,he is a top presenter.. Dr. Height says on 14/Oct/09
Wow, 170cm this guy is? Could have never guessed. Despite the fact that he stands next to taller people all the time, he still looks shorter than 170. John B says on 25/Sep/09
Hammond 'looks' to be about 5'4" on tv. I like all the Top Gear guys but Hammond takes a lot of flak because of his lack of height. I'm 5'6.5" so I feel his pain. Getting dates is tougher for us short guys and we're not allowed on some circus and carnival rides :] Mister P says on 18/Sep/09
weak 5 ft 7 Rooney says on 7/Sep/09
GG - are you the Hamster in disguise? GG says on 14/Aug/09
Who cares what height he is? He's an awesome presenter and a great all-round guy, and he's actually not that short. Jeremy is really really tall but everyone seems to pick on Richard. It also seems unfair that you are picking on people over 6" though, Jon. I think your comment was unnessessary. Dr T says on 27/Jul/09
I'm 5"7. When I was 15 in school I was closer to 5"0, whilst my best friend was 6"9! Seriously. Hammond could be standing next to worse. Paul says on 19/Jul/09
Jonsays on 6/Jun/09 People are always obsessed about being taller, over 6ft+ is lanky and unnecessary, even if you have a reasonable amount of muscle. It is better to be normal (under 6ft) symetrical and athletic than a giant freak. People over 6ft start to perform worse at everything physical on average.

Really? What about rugby, american football, swimming, most athletics events, boxing should I go on? greg says on 16/Jul/09
two inches is quite a difference though big tom and tom. big tom says on 1/Jul/09
my family went to a top gear show once and we have been to 2 mph shows and my daughter was online with hammond and she is 5'6.5" - 5'7"(shes 12) and my wife was wierdly the same height as james may, she is 5'11"-6'.
I am 6'6.5" and i can tell you that with bad posture jeremy clarkson is 6'4.5"
Hammond ------------ 5'6.5" to 5'7"(168.75 -170cm)
May ---------------- 5'11.5" to 6' (181.5 - 183cm)
Jezza--------------- 6'4" to 6'5", most likely 6'4.5"(194.5cm)
i think its unreasonable to skit hamster for his height, he is only 2-2.5 inches of the uk average, ya dont see anyone skitting a 5'11" guy for being two inches over it.
i agree with tom.
theres no way there is more than 9 inch difference between jezza and hamster Tom says on 25/Jun/09
Average height in the UK is five nine. So he like me is two inches away from average height (I'm two inches taller) two inches away from average height isn't really that much. Jon sound like a midget. "over 6 ft is unnecessary" the man sounds bitter.
why are people bull****ting. "ooh he looks five six not five seven" becuase you all know him so well. He's on the telly. No matter how many episodes you watch on Dave. You cant guess his height from that Nismofreak says on 22/Jun/09
I don't know but I doubt he is 5ft 7. I think he is an inch shorter, he really doesn't look that height. If I had to say, he looks 5ft 5.5 or a flat 5ft 6 inches...but then again we can't forget about morning height. Lara says on 21/Jun/09
Richard looks way smaller than that my mum is only 5ft5 and im only 5ft2 Jon says on 6/Jun/09

:P I'm 14 and 5'0", my mates (all guys) are about 5'7"-5'8" themselves with a few pushing for 6'0". My best friend is 5'5" and the difference between me and her is about the same as it appears between Hammond and his 5'1" wife, Mindy. I'd say Hammond's about 5'6"-5'7" max. Van Der Heigen says on 21/May/09
Hammond is short, I'm from Holland and I went with a few cousins of mine to a Top Gear show...we are big fans of those three car maniacs as well, and on the set Hammond is really short, I'm about 6'5.5" and Hammond would be estimated at 5'5" he's until my chest , and May is to my chin, but Clarkson is same compared to to me, but I think he is much taller than me if he kept a straight posture. some unknown woman says on 19/May/09
On my father's side of my family Hammond would be considered very tall. On my father's side of my family I'm taller than most of the men and I'm 5'3 1/4" to 5'8" (depending on which shoes I'm wearing). Duck says on 18/May/09
I doubt hes actually 5'7, he must of added a few inches because of him always being around Jeremy and James who are 6'5 and '6. Veronique says on 17/May/09
Im 14 years old girl and im 5ft and 7,5(or 8) in tall.
i dont want to grow taller :( !
My mom is 5ft 6in and my dad too.Do you think i will grow more ? Sharon says on 13/May/09
My husband has met him and he could see over his head. Husband is 5'7.5" so he reckons 5'5" absolute max. Jay says on 4/May/09
i met him a few weeks ago i'm 5'9" and i could practically see over his head so 5'6" seems right for hammond... James S says on 11/Apr/09
Hammond is 5ft 7 but he seems a lot shorter with Jezza, Look at him with 6ft James (5ft 10 with his posture) and Hammond looks of a normal height, so 5ft 7 is perfect. american boy says on 11/Apr/09
Im 15 live in in America, and im 5'9 and at the school i go to im considered short with other guys standing 6 to 6'8 Random Person says on 6/Apr/09
Not too sure about this 5'7 listing. My guess would be 5'6 on the dot. Alexmum says on 5/Apr/09
I'm 5ft 8 and my 15 yr old son is 5ft 11 - he's well built as well - my dad was 6ft 2 tho and built like a lamp-post! Doug says on 2/Apr/09
5'7"? I know a number of 5'7" guys and they never look as short as Hammond does. I guess it is because he is standing next to Clarkson most of the time who looks a foot taller at times. He does seem to be 5'5"-5'6" I would say 5'6". 5'11 guy, thats because a lot of Dutch do tower above Brits on average. If the average UK guy spent some time in Amsterdam he would feel on the short side without a doubt. A high percentage of Dutchmen are 6 foot or over and I have never seen so many 6'3"-6'6" guys in one place before. I'm 188cm and usually when I walk down the street in the UK I'm notiecably taller than most people I see. In Amsterdam it is far more common and a very high number of guys are 5'11-6'2" there. There is nowhere in the UK where average comes even close to 6'. If you are 5'11.5" legit you will be tallish on average wherever you are in the UK. Yeah in school I was average, perhaps only a tiny bit over average height actually, I was 5'9" at 15 or 16 when I had a growth spurt and reached 6'1" by 17 or 18 then grew another inch and bulked out in my early 20s. The tallest guys in general in my school year even at 15 I recall peaked around 5'11-6'1" and I can only think of the similar sort of proportion who were this height as ANonymous says below. I sure wish I had been my adult height in school! I can only think of a very small number of guys who were any taller than 6' in school and those were the very tall ones who were like 6'3"-6'6" and mostly bullied for being "lanky gits". I think I recall the tallest guys in Grade 11 (age 15-16) claiming 6' or 6'1" and there was of course a huge guy who was 6'4" by the age of 11 which is extremely unusual and one or two who had the Peter Crouch thing going on. |
