After this guy with Cruise: I say below that.
steven says on 19/Jan/12
if Richard Hammond is 5'6 then Jeremy Clarkson and James May should downgrade as well. J C 6'4 and J M 6'0
Woot says on 28/Dec/11
5'7ish
Godred says on 19/Dec/11
@Shaun - I don`t see May much over 5`11,maybe .5.
Shaun says on 18/Dec/11
May looks nearer 6'1" than 6' to me. Hammond I think would measure something similar to challenger #1 and #12.1. 5'5.5" would be my guess, he always looks too short to be what he claims.
leonari says on 24/Nov/11
Wears boots with a large heel and covers them up with long jeans that are wide at the bottom. Could be a tad shorter.
Brandon says on 23/Nov/11

marty says on 14/Sep/11
Many famous men seem to be 5' 7" tall, Charles Bronson, Bruce Lee, Tom Cruise, Boxer Jeff Fenech, Steven Spielberg, Kurt Cobain etc I'm also about 5'7" but I'm definitely not famous LOL

I went to the Top Gear show once, Hammond was wearing normal shoes and was 5'7'' max, so barefeet Hammond is 5'6'' to 5'6.5'' max.
Aly says on 8/Jul/11
He's gorgeous! I definitely think he's about this size - looks like it nextto other people. An he's so funny =)
DrJJ says on 28/Jun/11
The Hamster is in the same range as the Bieber. Anything more is ludicrous and would make James May 6'2" and Jezzer 11 feet tall.
Hattori Hanzo says on 15/Jun/11
That said, 5 ft 6 in seems a more likely height.

Richard with 5 ft 7.5 in (171 cm) Chris Moyles, Click Here
Granted, it's not possible to see footwear but Moyles has never struck me as the lift-wearing type (would have to be rather substantial ones at that - 2.5 in perhaps). My father recently 'met' Hammond in a car park outside a hotel in Cornwall, upon seeing his rather expensive camper van, my father crudely commented, "Hey Richard, that's some TOP GEAR you've got there", whilst pointing absent-mindedly at the aforesaid vehicle. Richard replied with a listless, "Oh, haven't heard that one before" and went back to packing his luggage. Oh yeah and my father (175 cm) remarked on him being considerably shorter than himself, despite Richard wearing his trademark Cubans.

can look taller than this next to 6'4ish Jeremy Clarkson.
The Truth says on 6/Apr/11
I met Richard Hammond yesterday, I am 5'10 and very good at guessing heights and he is 5'6 100%. I seriously suggest this height is reevaluated
sarah says on 17/Mar/11
I'm 5'7" and was visiting friends in the UK when we went to a Top Gear taping. I stood next to Richard Hammond and with both of us wearing flat shoes we are the same height. But really who cares how tall he his? You know what they say... Great things come in small packages!
Murray says on 5/Mar/11
I'm 5'9" and a 36C doesn't make me much taller. But with my implants a good bit bustier!

No way he's 5-7. Just google "james may and richard hammond". James is listed at 5'11.5, and he's clearly around 6 inches taller.
Sarah says on 3/Feb/11
Considering Richards short he's actually quite tall. I thought he was like my height which is 5ft 2inch I am only 11 so I am not short. I really like Richard he's cool.
Bateman says on 1/Feb/11
USYD, at 16 I was about 5'6" or 5'6", at 20/21 I reached my final height of 6'1.5" so it's possible. Though, in my case it went like that because I hit puberty rather late which does not seem to be the case for you, so 6'2" probably won't happen, but you never know.
Codberg says on 27/Jan/11
I actually live near Richard Hammond and last summer on the day of the England Germany game he was at a school fete I was at. I'm 5'11.5 and I was surprised how tall he was!! Seeing him on Top Gear next to Clarkson he does look small but I was stood next to him for quite some time and he didn't look that short to me. So maybe 5' 7" is accurate. I did clock his footware, he was wearing flat baseball boots so he didn't have the benefit of heels.
Stealth says on 26/Jan/11
Just been to the topgear recording. Hammond is is 5'4" ish, James may about 5'11/ 6ft as a reference

he is 170cm but who cares? its not like it makes a difference. with his cute puppy dog eyes and small size,u instantly want to protect him from mean mr clarkson. and anyways its not like it affects his great humour.
Grace says on 21/Jan/11
I work with Richard and co on the Top Gear set, and I'd say that he is about 5"7, which when you stand next to him, doesn't seem small at all.
Anonymous says on 16/Jan/11
The average depends on the country. Average in the US and UK for all males is about 5'9.5" according to stats. 5'7" is still within the "normal range".
dk says on 16/Jan/11
@USYD
Aged 16, it's unlikely you'LL get much taller, so 6'2" may be a pipedream. However, you are at LEAST taller than Richard Hammond.

@Anonymous.
You THOUGHT wrong.
Andrew says on 30/Dec/10
Just watched a Sport Relief thing on BBC 1. Richard Hammond and Eddie Izzard stood next to each other. Gotta say Hammond look a good inch shorter, didn't see the shoes.
Barret says on 9/Dec/10
Hi Mia, I stand at 6'6" and I prefer tall women. So, someone of your height would be ideal for me. I like shorter women too, but I have to be honest, men who are 5'8" or 5'9" tend to be better suited to them proportionately - and more power to them. Go for it guys!

Oh, and what's this blog about? Oh yeah, Richard Hammond! He's a funny guy, no matter how little the guy is.
Jake says on 21/Nov/10
@mia, i'm 5"8, and when walking down the street, many men are shorter... all men aren't a woman's ideal height, and its not as if people can do anything about their height?
george says on 4/Nov/10
@mia your just freakishly tall, im 5'9 average for a man is 5'10
moral of the story... your screwed
mia says on 3/Nov/10
well im 6'1.5... im a woman and having met richard whilst filming top gear i can say he is THOROUGHLY SHORT. anything below 5'9 for a guy is woeful. james was near enough my height although slightly taller and jeremy was atleast 3 inches taller. moral of the story... ANYTHING BELOW 5'9 FOR A MAN IS TOO SHORT. x
Anonymous says on 28/Oct/10
if he is 5ft 7in and his wife is 5ft 1in that is a perfect heigh difference men on average are 6 inches taller than women.
