Rob what's your estimate on c thomas howell?Would you add his page.
gets listed as 5'11 but closer to 5'8.Also pleases remove sunil shetty's page becuase if you come across any of his videos on youtube...you'll get at an instant that he's not 5'11.5,i know you dont watch bollywood movies.....but his page doesnt match the high standards maintained by the site
[Editor Rob: shred asked this, I think 5ft 10 range.]

Rob would you agree that a full 195cm is when very tall starts in Holland and also 189cm for tall? RisingForce says on 6/Nov/09
Rob, what's the tallest you could see Burt Reynolds at in his peak?
He pulled off looking 6 ft much easier than Stallone or even Pitt.
[Editor Rob: he joked about no actor being 6ft, he could have been 5ft 11 but then he did wear some big heels.] Brad says on 5/Nov/09
I haven't met my astronaut yet, my postman I have. mId says on 5/Nov/09
Anonymous: for me it indeed does work. I posted a while ago about astrounats having bigger suits because they expext to grow up to 3 inches in space because of lack of gravity. for me it also does seem like I gain one inch at night and loose 1 inch during the day.. If I'm not having a hard day I can go to bed a little over my normal bed height and that extra height gets added in the morning. for me it works like that. Anonymous says on 4/Nov/09
i heard people say when we sleep over certain hours, we will reach quite alot mm over the maximum height in the morning. it sounds crap to me. im 175.6cm out of bed, i try a few time slept over 9hours and awake at only 175.7 at best and mostly i'm 175.4 to 175.6cm out of bed in morning. James says on 4/Nov/09
Rob I have just stumbled across this interesting picture

I am just wondering perhaps Sean Bean has footware advantage becasue Orlando Bloom looks like a flat 5'9 there. Maybe Sean Bean could bea full 5'11? James says on 3/Nov/09
Sorry rob I don't mean to be annoying but what I am trying to say is do you think if in general people got up later during the daytime like in the afternoon to go to work as opposed to early in the morning the average height would be higher for men and women? Because people would have more time to sleep.
Okay for example kids who are going through puberty may not always get the chance to get a full nights sleep because they would have to get up at 7 in the morning to go to school. This might prevent a lot of people from growing naturally during puberty overnight hence why the younger generation might not be signifigantly taller than the slightly older generation? Since for really young people sleep is the time when the puturity gland releases the most growth hormones.
Sorry I am confusing myself a little bit when I am typing this up :) James says on 3/Nov/09
Rob do you think its true that if people in Britian and other parts of the world got to sleep in more during the day as a race we would be taller? The thing is because of modern day lifestyle people have to get up early and might not get a proper nights sleep.
[Editor Rob: I think 8 hours is enough to recover to your max.

Rob for most people in general do you think limb lengthining surgery is dangerous and has bad long term side affects?
It would be rare to find a guy over 6ft that would want this type of surgery.

Brad, you have the Bourne and Emile shots? You gotta get somebody to post them for you. Brad says on 1/Nov/09
If I were Emile Hirsch having a Sean Penn making him look like a child, I'd get Madonna combat boots, the ones she had on with Justin Timerlake in 4 Minutes. Bourne booties look like bricks. The NYC sandals work well if you are 5' 5 3/4" tall and 17 years old. It said 5' 8" Glenn under that photo in '06. I guess Sly is 6'. James says on 1/Nov/09

Hi rob, I was just looking for an old link on the Sean connery page, where Connery states his height as 6ft 1 1/2 inches give or take shoe leather. Is there any chance where an actor has stated his height you can include the link permamently at the top of the page. It just stops people going over old ground refusing to believe what the actor has stated.
[Editor Rob: well it was a poster called Ray who said he saw Connery saying in a Leno show 10 years before he was 6ft 1.5 depending on the state of his shoe leather.
I've no idea if the quote is correct.] G.G says on 1/Nov/09
hey Rob, Im 15 years old and 186cm and i had my first growth spurt at 13 and 3 months where i grew 21 - 23cm in one year and have been slowly growing ever since my 14th birthday. My dad is 172cm, my mum is 170cm, my older bro (19) is 178cm, my older sister (22) is 170cm. How tall do you think i will grow up to when i finish growing?
[Editor Rob: these predictions are too hard to say, you could grow another 1 or 2 inches or be near done...] Brad says on 31/Oct/09
You may want to find Glenn's doctor, he'll have a measure of 1.5" taller than actual. burby says on 31/Oct/09

Clay, I agree. I just couldn't deal with being 5'5. I am not saying anything under this height is short but for me personally anything under 5'10 I wouldn't be happy with. For my tallest I'd not wanna go over 6'2. Comets says on 30/Oct/09
Rob, not sure how many people said this but are you by any chance related to Sean pertwee or Gerard Butler?. you kinds look like both of them and they both are scots just like you :P Red says on 30/Oct/09
Rob, on Celebs my Height I can´t choose 7ft/ 8ft or 3ft but there´re celebs that height Red says on 30/Oct/09
Rob, how do you think about a TOP 10 (or TOP 20...) for the tallest and shortest on celebheights?
[Editor Rob: I might do a top 50 page of somesorts for males/females, short and tall.] James says on 30/Oct/09
Rob do you think on this site if a user posts a comment if they don't like what they posted there should be a special option to delete or edit their comment like on other forums on the net?
I don't know how would work on this type of forum though?
[Editor Rob: there's lots of issues with deciding whether to change the structure or style.
things like the increased cost, site security and time...would it in the long term make the site earn me more? When you run websites as your living I guess it has to boil down to such considerations ultimately.

Peter Crouch also said he was 6'6 as well James says on 29/Oct/09
Peter Crouch can look 6'9. Parker says on 29/Oct/09
RisingForce says on 27/Oct/09
Very few people claim an accurate height. In fact that goes for taller people as well. I know someone who claims 6'5", but I'd swear he's taller just by seeing him stand by doors and the fact that in my 2.25" boots he's about a head taller than me.
In my opinion, the very short or very tall male's are most likely to 'fudge' their height. 5'4 and under for males, 6'5 and over. On this site if you go to Peter Crouch page, he listed at 6'7 and claims it. In my opinion he's taller than that - same as Davy Jones of the monkees, listed at 5'3 but claims 5'4.., MJF listed at 5'4 claims 5'5, Danny Devito listed at 4'10,claims 5'. Think it works both ways - and some people say there's no such thing as heightism! ACG says on 29/Oct/09

I went to Holland and noticed no height difference to any other European country. There was tall and small just like every other country. There is a lot of tall people but there is a good proportion of small people men included no different from any other major city like London. Heightcomplex says on 28/Oct/09
Rob i want to ask you a question,could i be taller or the same height as some of my friends but sometimes seem shorter because of the ground levels.Its strange how i seem taller when we are walking close to each otter but when we go to the mall i seem to be shorter and i estimate myself to 5-8 :)

Hey Metric, with what I dug up on him a week or two into this site (it was easy) I'm wouldn't be surprised if he was in jail right now. He'd go beserk if you mentioned 5' 7". Heck with that I emptied my clip of 5' 6.5" in his face many times and he went beserk. In the end I was right and The G waddled back to the Plaza with his bag of pick guards and drum heads, Volvo returned, french fries cold. Anonymous 2 says on 28/Oct/09
Metric says on 25/Oct/09
I wish I was taller. There are so many freaking giants in my country. I see women 6-1 all the time! And that´s taller than me! EVERY time you go shopping there she is. Glenns claim that he is average height and taller than most women wouldn´t hold the least bit water in Denmark! Guys his height are RARE and whenever they do appear they are almost instantly referred to as midgets and dwarfs and ridiculed for their lack of height. This also happens among adult people. Have seen it more than a couple of times.
When I went to college we had a guy in class who was 5-6 and all the other guys who were 6-0 to 6-6.5 always made fun of his height and even asked him at one time; "So how tall are you really? Like 4-11 or 5 feet??" Seriously, I´m NOT joking!
It sucks...
Could be that they took hgh, that's what many people are takin these days cause they don't really appreciate the shortness and want to be superior. Clay says on 27/Oct/09
To be fair Glenn only claimed 5'8'' right out of bed which wasnt even a stretch really. Metric says on 27/Oct/09
Rob - what do you pay to get a photo taken with one of the celebs??
[Editor Rob: professional pics are taken with good cameras and so you have less barrel distortion than you get with compact digital cameras. It gives a truer representation.
cost is 99% of the time between £10-£20 ($15-$30).
if you are getting an autograph with somebody, most of the time you can ask and get a photo on your own camera for free. But half the time they will be pretty useless photos for this site.] James says on 27/Oct/09
I agree with you metric. He behaved very unproffesionally compared to other contributers to the site such as Mamun and even Vaj.
Honestly though it was just a big waste of energy on glenns part getting angry on forums using swear words because it really did not help his cause. In fact if he was just honest about his height from the start and said "Yeah I am 5'6.5-5'7 barefoot etc..."
The thing is though before glenn visited this site he had no idea about morning height and might have measured himself as being 5'7.25 out of bed and just rounded up to 5'8 or went by what other people said he was. Or it could have been that his friends measured him as being 5'8 on the dody floor in his apartment and then thought he was that height.
I think when glenn found that morning height is not your real height that might have made him go in denial mode about his height hence why he got so angry about it. RisingForce says on 27/Oct/09
Alex, I think that taking someone's high and low and averaging them is a fair way to give someone their true height. I don't know how tall I am, I think I was 5'7.5" 3 1/2 or 4 hours after I woke. The funny thing is that I'm taller than many people who claim 5'8" and about as tall a quite a few people who claim 5'9", even some who claim 5'10". That's why I typically feel taller than what I really am.
Very few people claim an accurate height. In fact that goes for taller people as well. I know someone who claims 6'5", but I'd swear he's taller just by seeing him stand by doors and the fact that in my 2.25" boots he's about a head taller than me. sen mac says on 27/Oct/09
metric how tall are you and are conidered tall, average, sort or whatever in denmark Metric says on 27/Oct/09
The reason why the subject of Glenn is NOT put to rest (and probably never will be) is because of the SURREAL way he treated other posters for a good number of years on here!! And when it turned out that his endless arrogance and incredible disdain for everybody were based on a LIE, well go figure!?. The guy is bound to have incredible amounts of heat still coming over him. He made his own bed. Alex says on 26/Oct/09
I think from whatever time you wake up 5-6 hours later you can be considered your true height. 5-6 hours being up will be pretty close to your minimum height anyway. I found that out when I met Rob and got measured. I was up 6 hours got measured then 4 hours later was only 2-3mm under what I was measured at. Midget says on 26/Oct/09
RisingForce says on 23/Oct/09
Rob, you might as well bring back the Glenn page. Several posters feel the need to mention him on every page anyway.
I agree. The subject of Glenn and the subsequent ongoing Glenn bashing should have been laid to rest when his contributions/pics/access to this site ended. MONTHS AGO. He wasn't 5'8" tall-Big Bloody woop. People should simply Re-adjust any estimates they had made on a celeb based on his provided pics or version of his own actual height and move on with life.

Hii Rob, whenever i wake up in the morning, i get like a stretching sensation in my knees. None of my friend has had that feeling.

Hey Rob, I have a question. When two people are exactly the same height, is it possible that one will see the other one as being a little taller? I've noticed that a lot of times, people who are close to my height will seem taller than me when I'm standing behind them, especially if they have their head turned downward slightly. jeffrey says on 23/Oct/09

Measuring with a book isn't accurate either. About 3 to 3 1/2 hours after I woke up I measured at 5'6.75" with a book. I'm not sure about laser measurements, but they don't sound too accurate either. James says on 23/Oct/09
Rob if you look at someone in front of you and they look to be around your height give or take, since your eyes are not at the top of your head how much taller would you be than that in person in reality?
[Editor Rob: I'm not quite sure what you mean. With your eyes? If someone came up to my eyes they'd be a little under 5ft 4, but if you raise your eyes slightly or lower them you gotta take that into account.] James says on 22/Oct/09
Rob sorry I know this is kinda random but if you have quite fat short legs can the excess weight on the legs make you shrink slightly more durng the day?
[Editor Rob: nah, your're not going to lose height in legs...] J.J. says on 22/Oct/09
Rob I've used the laser stadiometers again & it said 6'1.3" @ 186 cm & I repaeted it at another boots a week later & it said 6'1.7" @187cm. I do think it's silly but not that terribly silly. It sort of messes about within 0.5".
Alex that's weird cos I've never experienced an 1" difference. It's only 0.5" Brad says on 22/Oct/09
Taller than G barefoot and he was in Doc Martins....welcome to the world of the 5' 8" G. He put on Portmans or just plain stood on his heels in the end.

What I noticed is that in glenns final few pics he posted to celeb heights (after the april measurement) he appeared at least 5'8 or more next to celebs?
Rob do you think possibly you measuring glenn under 5'8 made him wear lifts or big shoes more often?
[Editor Rob:
I was taller barefoot than glenn when he was wearing his asics and doc martin shoes...the same footwear he's wearing in some of the final pics I chose to post.
the reason he could look taller? He was standing either nearer the camera or on better pavement.

I bet the email to end all emails was he was in the clink with no access to his phone thingy. Criminal trespass, refused to leave a 5 star hotel lobby holding a drum head and a sharpie. I guess I haven't met an astronaut. The G, the most talked about height on the site. Brad says on 21/Oct/09

Kobe Bryant managed to look noticeably taller than Conan O'brien. about 2" difference. I think He is closer to 6'5.5" say like 6'5.3" & in NBA shoes almost 6'7". but since at 19 he was 6'4.75", I do believe a near 7/8ths of an inch is a very much possible growth for him Brad says on 20/Oct/09

Haha, ain't that the truth! I made my first post here in the summer of 2006 and then for three years I never posted again but remained a regular reader. Then the great Glenn height scandal of 2009 hit the tabloid headlines and that prompted me to start posting again.

Or as long as the old timers (posters) are around. Alex says on 20/Oct/09
Danimal, its fine that you lost weight by why so much. Thats 60-65lbs lost. Thats a lot especially at your height frame. Why did you lose so much? 191 is a good weight. Yea its good you can pack on muscle quick. Some people can't. Christian says on 20/Oct/09
Hi Rob, how many male/female celebs are listed on this site?
[Editor Rob: there's 5000 and the split between male and female is pretty even.] JayB says on 20/Oct/09
Can you all stop talking about Glenn? This is Rob's page, not Glenn's!!! Danimal says on 19/Oct/09
Hey Alex, I went from 219.5 pounds down to 156 pounds from October/November to March/April (running well over an hour a day and drastically reducing my calorie intake. I am now 191.5 pounds. My muscle memory allows me to pack on size really quickly when I begin lifting weights. I can get up well into my 220's, but I think I'm at a good weight now. Alex says on 19/Oct/09
Even being up for so much your body won't go below your bare minimum height. Anonymous says on 19/Oct/09
Rob I see you are a master in determining heights, weights on the other hand can get a little tricky. Hard to tell how much a person weighs exactly.
[Editor Rob: weight is hard. Height is less hard, but still everybody over or under estimates.] Brad says on 19/Oct/09
G said he lost how much? Alex says on 19/Oct/09
James, I haven't met Glenn yet. Not sure if I ever will or not now since his depature from this site.
Clay, I am def putting on muscle but at the same time I feel like a bit of fat is coming on which is natural but I'd like to limit the body fat coming on. yea that body fat in the lower stomach is a pain to get rid of unless you're on steriods or very skinny. I do cardio 1-2 a week for 30 mins but 3 would be more ideal but this is good enough since I am at least getting some in, plus I am active on my feet when I work so 1-2 days a week for 30 mins is fine. I wanna get to 220lbs and see where I am at. James says on 19/Oct/09
rob if you get up in the morning after getting about 5-6 hours sleep and go to the gym for a few hours then measure your height 7 hours after getting up will you be a cm or a few mm under your real afternoon height?
[Editor Rob: I've measured after being up for near 30 hours without sleep and after having spent a day of heavy lifting of boxes/furniture...there's no real difference.] Brad says on 19/Oct/09
G was about 5' 7" flat at wake-up. G went with a 5' 8" height for his height and went beserk if you stated the facts. G never looked shorter than with Emile Hirsch. Imagine coming to this site and seeing that duo with 5' 8" Glenn with Emile under it. James says on 19/Oct/09
Brad you have said yourself that glenn is 5'6.5 after dark. So that would make his day time height aroudn 5'7 and 5'7.25-5'7.5 out of bed.
Oh yeah Alex been meaning to ask have you met glenn yet? burby says on 18/Oct/09
Thanks Eton. Correct Metric, the heavy bag destroys height even more, if just for a day. Glenn got owned by reality on the stadiometer with the inevitable under 5'7" measure. Rob, Jenny and SuperMamun all go with their lows, Glenn went with morning height and got burned. The side by side with Emile Hirsch is crazy. Glenn: "He's 5'6", enough of this bs", and "I can see the top of Sean Penns head" Where was Glenn in relation to 5'5.5"(if that)Emile in the photo? Just barely above him. Clay says on 18/Oct/09
Alex - I have been doing more and more cardio and I've really noticed how toned it has gotten me. I am still 186-187 but thats minus the baby fat around the stomach I had before. How often do you do cardio? Clay says on 17/Oct/09
Glenn was 5'7'' for all intents and purposes. Alex says on 17/Oct/09
James, I am now up to 204lbs. I was at 198-200lbs for a while then lost a bit of weight down to 195 and in the last 3 1/2 weeks put on 9lbs. James says on 17/Oct/09
Last night Jonathan Ross was poking fun at Jack Dee's height even though he is not a dwarf at 5'6.5. I thought Jonathan Ross looked every bit of 6'1.5 next to legit 6'5er Vince Vaughn as well.
More to the point could you imagine if glenn was famous and apeared on his show how much Jonathan would make fun of his height. glenn would say something like "I am not 5'6 I am 5'8 out of bed get a life looser". lol. Alex says on 16/Oct/09
Or Glenn was measuring 5'8 in shoes and saying that was his barefoot height while he was really 5'7 or just under barefoot. JAK says on 16/Oct/09
I think gaining height through exercises like the Alexander technique depends on how severe your back problems are. If your muscular/spinal alignment is truly out of whack then actual height gain in inches is possible if that was fixed through such techniques.
However, if you just slouch a bit all the exercises will teach you to do is not slouch. Which makes you feel taller, but doesn't actually make you taller. Metric says on 16/Oct/09
Glenns heavy bag is the one that really cracks me up. I mean how heavy would a bag have to be for you to REALLY shrink 1.5 inches as G claimed he did?? 400 lbs?? 600 lbs?? More??
I can just see Glenn walking the streets of N.Y with his 800 lbs bag on the shoulders making seismic shockwaves with each step and scaring people by the numbers. **BEWARE Glennzilla is coming!** Lol. Metric says on 16/Oct/09
Glenn was a train wreck. He had every chance of getting out of his predicament with some dignity to behold. But he wanted it otherwise. His lies and trickery even AFTER being PULVERIZED by Robs stadiometer were just pathetic.
He pretty much lost touch with reality at the end. I hope he is seeing a good shrink these days. He needs one. RisingForce says on 16/Oct/09
Rob, how tall does Sly look here if this actress who is hearing heels is 5'10.5" as she's listed. Click Here Click Here
And how much do you think Sly's shoes add? Brad says on 15/Oct/09
He had 6 months to practice the shocked look, a few weeks to line up Sal with the Volvo bed and 6 months to run the "I'm busy that week, veeeerry busy, I'm up all day n night" (Elmer Fudd voice). He was busy thinking how when the Volvo had its return date to Sal how da heck am I gonna look at da final measure. "Psssshoot!!! Beep Beep!!" (Road Runner Warner Bros. soundbite and flames on the Manhattan street as he got back to Bronx with no measure, phone turned off. I'd think hanging from a bar upside down in special boots every single day you'd grow something. I bet it must feel great. I just love hanging from a bar, toes just touching ground and arching my back til I pass out, man that blood rush is just wild! Better put pillows below, you drop fast. mId says on 15/Oct/09
Rob: I don't know if this is the page to do it but I met stand-up comic pablo fransisco a couple of weeks ago. living in sweden I don't meet many celebs so anyway I can contribute :) maybe you can have him as a measuring pole against jay leno or something. anyway he is listed as 6'1 but he was about 5'11 when I met him. I was probrably 6' at the time we met (late in the evening) and there was no question he was shorter. my girlfriend commented on it also.. he always looks pretty big in his videos but that was not the case. But he could not have been a nicer guy.. he stayed and talked with EVERYONE after the show. took pictures for free and signed anything people wanted signed.. talked to peoples friends over the phone.. He really did alot more than he had to. really went out of his way to make people happy. great guy. not quite his billed height though. atleast not before bed. and I have a hard time (unless he shrinks more than me (1')) seeing him reach 6'1 in the morning unless it's with shoes. burby says on 15/Oct/09
Correct James, he slept out in the back of the Volvo to get the 5'7.25" MAX height. Alex, when greyness hits the streets of NYC, Glenn will be 5'6.5" in photos, less because of the heavy bag. Again, he's only a little over 5'6.5" on a non-sig search day. Eton says on 15/Oct/09
==================
burby says on 15/Oct/09
Imagine if G had gone with his 5'6.5" low, not worn the portmans, and ran with it? I don't see why 5'6.5" would be bad for height gauging. He would have been the go-to guy for celebrity height estimates.
==================
That's absolutely right, burby; a listed height of 5'6.5" would have been a great reference point on the photos, and the frustrating thing is that if you look at Glenn's height estimates for the many celebs whom he met, if you deduct 1.5" from his estimates then they become surprisingly accurate. That 1.5" anomaly kept on skewing things though, which is a big shame. Brad says on 15/Oct/09
Uh Alex, he was at his peak in those photos, he slept in a car all day. Look at him with Jenny. He lives in Morristown in the borough of The Bronx. If you are 7 hours out of bed lugging a big bag of junk all the way to Manhattan and then run around for hours, you lose height with 180 pounds on a 5' 7" wake-up body. Yes Burby, a low figure and honest Portman to ground add-on would have worked well. The 5' 8" figure under his mug plus not known Porties was a site killer. He's said he is 5' 8" and then stands by shrimps like Emile Hirsch, Shania Twain, Jason Priestley and wonders why people questioned his height. I knew the guy was 5' 6.5" in shots on day one. It fit like a glove especially when the pap hit him in a Natalie Portman shot. He was so insecure I'd even imagine there were shots with him on his toes besides the Slyster. If you want, go to the NYPD and pull his jacket, his height would be listed a few times...I think with footwear he said. James says on 15/Oct/09
I don't mean to be horrible about glenn but come on him seeing George Clooney at 6'1 or 6'2 was priceless. Whats even funnier is that he estimated Bill Murrey at 5'11 3/4 and 6'3 in the early 90's. James says on 15/Oct/09
Brad says on 15/Oct/09
He was 5' 6.5" or less in every photo, his peak was around 5' 7". He knew his height. He loved seeing 5' 8" under his photos.
I don't think glenn knew his height that well since he was so shocked when he got measured as you can tell in the photos.
Alex but didn't glenn sleep in a car or something when he was measured at 5'7? James says on 15/Oct/09
Rob I read up that you can gain 1 inch by doing the alexandrer technique. Do you think this is true?
[Editor Rob: I kind of doubt it, even though some have claimed it...if they have maybe they had bad posture and measured themselves with this bad stance, then after posture training thought they'd really grew...] Alex says on 15/Oct/09
Brad, I have to disagree a bit. First I agree he probably never hit 5'8 even out of bed but I dont think he was 5'6.5 or less in his photos. Rob measured him at 5'7 for the most part which would have made him 5'7 in his photos. burby says on 15/Oct/09
Imagine if G had gone with his 5'6.5" low, not worn the portmans, and ran with it? I don't see why 5'6.5" would be bad for height gauging. He would have been the go-to guy for celebrity height estimates.
Imagine
G: Slys no where near 5'10.5"
G: Bruce isn't 6'1"
etc, etc...
If he would have just been honest about his height and nicer, he'd be getting compliments and admiration left and right(what I think he wanted in the first place). Brad says on 15/Oct/09
He was 5' 6.5" or less in every photo, his peak was around 5' 7". He knew his height. He loved seeing 5' 8" under his photos. Alex says on 15/Oct/09
James, actually thats my great grandfather who was 6'1-6'2, my grandfathers were 5'11 and 5'5 each. Who knows that may be a pattern, perhaps. James says on 14/Oct/09
I kinda noticed a pattern that your grandfarther was 187cm-188cm your dad is 185cm and you are 183-184cm. So would it be that if you had a son he might be 181-182cm in height? I am just guessing thats all. James says on 14/Oct/09
Rob in the past when glenn would get into an arugment with a poster on the site who might have made an offensive comment about his height would you sometimes let their offensive comments through because you wanted glenn to toughen up a little bit and get in the real world? I know you edited some of the offensive comments as well probably.
[Editor Rob: his height was unknown, so it was reasonable to expect that people might question the unknown. Saying someone looks 5ft 6 or 5ft 7 in a photo is just an opinion, many of them were tame and got blown up a bit.] James says on 14/Oct/09
Alex yeah it sems like you inherit more of your height from your farthers side and your brohter has inherited possibly more from his mum side. But he could still grow more though. Alex says on 13/Oct/09
James, more like 5'10 flat he is. He may be closer to 5'9.5 to be honest. But either way hes only 125lbs which is very lite for that height. Now my mom's dad was 5'11 and her brothers were 5'11, 5'9 and 5'7. My dad's father was 5'5 and my dad's brother was only around 5'5 as well. My dad's grandfather which is my great grandfather was 6'1-6'2. James says on 13/Oct/09
Alex is your brother 5'10 or 5'10.5 since you said he's 5'10ish?
If he's only 5'10 and approaching 17 he might not even grow over 5'11? Or he might grow to a solid 5'11. Then again your brother is skinny so he may not have fulley developed? I doubt he will strop growing at only 5'10 though.
Alex possibly you could have inherited your height from your farther who was 6'1 at his peak. Your brother on the other hand could have inherited a bit more of a your mums height genes? But I am kind of doubtful about that since he is not small at 5'10. Anonymous says on 13/Oct/09
Why do you go by your end of the day height when it's the lowest? Do you think everyone should do this?
[Editor Rob: I think after 6 hours of being up you are very close to your bedtime height] James says on 13/Oct/09
Rob when it comes to running celeb heights.com would you say you are tolerant of people breaking the rules or going off topic a lot? Or does it really annoy you when someone breaks the rules on the site?
Sorry I am a bit curious thats all.
[Editor Rob: if somebody uses different names they annoy me a little bit. Going off topic is hard to judge because sometimes I let it go a bit...and then sometimes it starts to then go way off topic.
] James says on 13/Oct/09
Mirotic I don't think you will grow to 6'7. I'd say you could end up at 6'6 though. Alex says on 13/Oct/09
James, yea I'd guess at least 5'11 for him. He'll probably stop at 18-19 when most men stop. He's only 125lbs at 5'10 too. He's pretty skinny. Jake says on 13/Oct/09
Hi Rob, I'm 17; 6' (183 cm) in the morning (or a tiny bit over 6') and about 181.3 cm at night. What should I claim as my height? Please say 6 ft flat! James says on 13/Oct/09
Alex I am guessing your brother will probably be 5'11.5 when he reaches 21 or even 6ft. Mirotic says on 13/Oct/09
What up Rob, Alex, mId, Phil, James (anyone willing to answer), I just turned sixteen and i am 192cm (6'4") but i really want to grow to 200cm (6'7") by 18 so i can qualify as a main shooter for my school's boys national basketball team in my last year of high school (The coach's requirement for a main shooter is that their height as to be above 195cm,6'5.5", and past main shooters have nearly all been above 205cm, 6'9"). My dad's height is the same height as Rob's, my mum's height is 5'5, my older brother's (22) height is 5'10" and my younger half brother (14) is 6 foot. I think i got my tall genes from my uncles since they're all in the 5'11 - 6'2 height range.
Sorry, my point is, do you think it is possible for my grow to my desired height of 6'7" by the time, I am 18? Can you tell me basing on knowledge from your own height growth experience and also general height information?
Thanks a billion to anyone who answers.
Cheers.
PS: Deeply sorry for writing too much. Phil says on 13/Oct/09
Simpson says on 11/Oct/09
Hey Rob I have a quick question for you?
My son recently got measured last month and they said he was 179 cm. They measured him again and they said he's now 180 cm.
If he grew 1 cm in 1 month what's that considered? Is he slowing down, is he growing quickly? Your opinion?
______________________________
If this is continuous growth, then this might be a growth spurt (i.e. 4 inches a year). If the growth rate is slower than that and he's 15-16, then he might be slowing down, but we would need more details to answer this. mId says on 12/Oct/09
my father is the exact same height as me.. 6'1 morning.. 6' at night. my younger brother is 6'1 at his lowest and my mom is 5'5. my dad's dad was also the same height as me and my dad. on my moms side I belive her mom is the tallest of her parents :) and I think my moms brothers are around 5'10 and her sisters are around 5'5 like her. however all my male cousins from my mothers side are all tall 6'1 - 6'4.. and only one of their fathers are taller than my dad. Alex says on 12/Oct/09
James, I am the oldest. My sister is 22 and my brothers are 9, 13 and almost 17. The one who is going on 17 is 5'10ish so I'm not really sure if he'll hit my height. At the very most he'd be 6'0 I'd say. James says on 12/Oct/09
Parker thats incredible. Thier son must have inherited his height from a tall relative in the family. Parker says on 12/Oct/09
Height predictors are just that - predictors. Its what a pediatrician uses in the first instance when assessing someone referred to him for short stature. They are a guideline. A close friend of mine is 5'4, his wife about 5'5/5'6. His 23 year old son is 6'3..... James says on 12/Oct/09
Got any siblings that are taller or the same height as you Alex?
According to this adult height predictor thing I have just been on judging by your parents heights you should have ended up at 5'11. But those things are not always accurate. Alex says on 12/Oct/09
James, my mom is 5'3. My dad at his peak now was 6'1 but today he measures in at 5'10-5'10 1/2 though. He is 55 now but not just because of his age but his vertebra in his back is messed up a bit which had him lose even a bit more height. Alex says on 12/Oct/09
I would think measuring with your feet against each other would make you slightly taller but I measure with my feet a couple inches apart from each other. the shredder says on 12/Oct/09
Rob , this might be odd to ask , but did Glenn come off as closed minded or open minded to you ?
[Editor Rob: I couldn't tell you on that one.] Dany says on 11/Oct/09
Hi rob. I have a question for ya.I went for a physical check up at 3:30pm in a clinic and they measured me and i was 179.5cm coz i saw the stadiometer and asked the nurse to write it down on a scratch of paper in cm and inches and she wrote 179.50 like i saw and 5"10.5 however 5"10.5 is 179cm? how many feet is 179.5cm? i thought it was 5'10.66?
[Editor Rob: they'd write down the nearest 1/4 inch probably which is 5ft 10.5 rather than 10.66] mId says on 11/Oct/09
alex and rob.. when you measure do you stand relaxed or do you stand in like "attention" position when you measure? in the pictures it looks like rob is somewhat relaxed and alex looks more attention-like when looking at his lower back.. or maybe it's just the way he's built. . also.. how does feet apart or together effect your height?
[Editor Rob: feet together I've measured as between 1 and 2mm less than a normal feet 4-5 inches apart.] Anonymous says on 11/Oct/09
Good photo rob, I don't see ur heels levitating lol! leg o says on 11/Oct/09
no offense but I still think it is possible to lift your heels slightly especially when there is such a curve where you stand. I am not claiming you have done it on purpose though, becasue considering the curve there under your heel, you would actually lose some height if you were firm on your heel. Thats why I suggested that you face the other way.
[Editor Rob: go stand facing a wall with your toes. Now try to raise your heels 5mm off the ground and hold that position and don't touch the wall either...yeah you can't do it.
here's one of me 5ft 8 and 7/8ths in the morning...
or maybe I'm levitating with gremlins ;)
] James says on 11/Oct/09
Alex how tall were your parents? Sometimes guys don't grow as tall as their farthers esspecially if thier mum is short. Alex says on 11/Oct/09
James, it was more like 5'11 7/8 and that was after a very long day of being on feet, lifting etc. Its pretty rare I'll get that low but I'm not even sure if it was very accurate. Once my friend was over for the night and I had him measure me out of bed within a minute or so and he said he got almost 6'1 1/2 which I highly doubt. Thats human error because no way could I go from 6'1 1/4 to 6'0 by night, LOL. On a good day I can hit 6'1 flat out of bed at times I think. Alex says on 11/Oct/09
Mid, I am normally 6'0.75 out of bed and 6'0 by evening. Though I never had an official measurment out of bed but I've gotten that plenty of times doing it myself or having a friend measure me. Simpson says on 11/Oct/09
Hey Rob I have a quick question for you?
My son recently got measured last month and they said he was 179 cm. They measured him again and they said he's now 180 cm.
If he grew 1 cm in 1 month what's that considered? Is he slowing down, is he growing quickly? Your opinion? thomas says on 10/Oct/09
Rob, as a person who knows a lot about human height like you, is it possible to increase height by stretching exercises?
[Editor Rob: I think it is very hard to gain noticeable (1/2-1 inch) height...any gains would have to come by making the spine longer, by somehow thickening the cartilage.] Lozzer says on 10/Oct/09
Rob, Check out my new Ian Broudie pic on facebook. He is listed as 5'7" here! Somehow I don't think so! ;)! 5'6" for definite! James says on 10/Oct/09
Alex that was probably after a very long day on your feet or lifting heavy stuff? mId says on 10/Oct/09
ok.. I think you and me are identical in height. I must say though.. before I discovered this site I thought height was the same all the time.. after doing some research it seems it can change alot.. it is true that there is one height that you are most of the time.. but you can alter it a little. I read an article about astronauts having costumes a few sizes bigger because they can grow up to 3 inches taller in space because the lack of gravity.. I did a little experiment.. I spent a weekend pretty much just lying on the couch watching tv and stuff.. basicly tried being off my feet. and the second morning I was 187 cm out of bed. it seems.. atleast when it comes to my body I grow about an inch at night.. and loose 1 inch during the day. if I sleep very little for 2 days I can wake up at about 184 - 184,5 cm but If I get alot of sleep and don't loose alot of height and go to bed at like 184cm I wake up at about 187 cm. would be weird to grow 3 inches like in space by just staying off you feet for about a week. seems like it could work ;) sadly, it won't last long. normally though with normal sleep and normal activity during the day I'm 6'1 morning and little over 6' before bed. sorry for the long post.. thought it might be interesting. Alex says on 10/Oct/09
Mid,I said I measured as low as 5'11.75 before but I'm not even sure if it was accurate or not. mId says on 10/Oct/09
Alex: just wondering.. did you write in a post once that you measured as low as 182 cm at one time (not the rob meeting) or am I just seeing things? James says on 10/Oct/09
Guys maybe if glenn learned the Alexandrer tecnique he might be able to gain 1 inch more in height? Lol its just a thought. Lozzer says on 9/Oct/09
Rob, I measured closer to 5'7.75" than 5'8" after a long day the other day, yet I can hit hairs off 5'9" on a good morning with about 8-10 hours sleep! Is this fairly normal. Would you say I am shorter, taller or the same height as yourself?
Cheers
[Editor Rob: if you got nearer 5ft 7.75 and usually get 5ft 8 then maybe it was slight undermeasure or just you didn't stand as you usually do?] James says on 9/Oct/09
I don't want to harp on too much but glenn said himself that he didn't like big crowds and it caused him anxiety and you know NYC is always crowded so it may not always be easy for him. I guess when he is amongst people that are taller than him the issue of height might rear its ugly head in his mind.
Perhaps part of him still belives he is close to 5ft8 I am not sure?
[Editor Rob: out of bed was always an argument on here. If everybody got measured out of bed and agreed that was your 'real' height then it would be a good argument.] Alex says on 9/Oct/09
Speaking of weight I am slowly increasing my weight. For pretty much this year I was in the 195-200lb range. Stuck at 198lb give or take a pound for a while. In early September I ended up getting down to 195 again.. In the last 2.5 weeks I have went from 195 to 203lbs. Alex says on 9/Oct/09
James, really 1/2 inch difference on some days. I can see 1/8-1/4 inch difference on days you're not on your feet as much. That happens with me at times but most days are the same for me. I am on my feet enough. James says on 9/Oct/09
Rob when you say you tried to put humour into the whole measurment situation did you just try and say "Its not the end of the world or something like that?"
[Editor Rob: yeah it wasn't the end of the world, although i'm sure for glenn it might have felt like it. But then nowadays maybe not visiting the site everyday and worrying over whether somebody thinks you look 5ft 7 has taken away the 'celebheights burden'!] James says on 9/Oct/09
Rob sorry I forgot how tall exactley was Alex when you measured him? 184cm?
[Editor Rob: 183.3cm] James says on 9/Oct/09
Rob who would you say was friendlier in person Alex or glenn?
[Editor Rob: different personalities, glenn was under more stress he said and then the whole measurement thing kind of put a downer, even although I did try to make a bit of humour out of the thing it seemed to go straight over his head.] Maddy says on 9/Oct/09
Thx, JAK! I will give it a try. Lebensdorf says on 8/Oct/09
Hey, Rob, I've posted under a few different names here, but I didn't realize that you don't like that on your site (I just read the FAQ section). I was just trying to get some unbiased information and opinions from others about height-related issues and I was using a number of different identities to do this. I won't do it again, though; I'll stick to this ID from now on.
Sorry. Thanks. Ivaneshka says on 8/Oct/09
Rob; what`s ur height in the afternoon or evening in shoes?, `coz I think that a person must be measured addin` at least 1 cm, cause we never go out without shoes or sneakers, whatever...what do u think?.
[Editor Rob: depends on shoes, but I usually wear 3/4 inch up to 1.2 inch, so 5ft 8 and 1/8th-8.25 + whatever the shoes are.
at conventions I've pretty much worn 7/8th of an inch sneakers the majority of last 2 years.] James says on 8/Oct/09
Rob sometimes I find at the end of the day I am half an inch shorter than I am on other days when I am up on my feet for 13 hours? Sometimes could it be the way I might style my hair for example some days my hair might be flatter than it is on other days?
In fact this morning I woke up with a sore back and a stiff kneck after getting 5-6 hours sleep and I was about 1-2cm shorter than I usally am on most days. So possibly the way I might be sleeping could affect how much my body stretches over night?

Rob- whats your estimate on Prince Harry. I think he is 6'2" or 6'1.75" minimum. He doesnt look under this. JAK says on 8/Oct/09

@JAK: Thanks for your reply. 1 Inch would be perfect. 5'4 is average for women, right? I would be happy to be average seized ^^ Which exercises would you recommend? I have a very weak back.

Swimming is good for stretching out your spine. Exercises that strengthen your upper back muscles will improve your posture, as well as strong abdominals and glutes. Even if you don't gain any height, improving your posture will make you stand, feel and appear taller. Maddy says on 8/Oct/09

Rob, thanks for your answer! I guess I might have a better posture facing the wall, I just measured this morning on the same wall, wich I have marked from 150cm up to 190cm with a tape measure, and back on wall my height was 175.3cm, but facing it I was 175.8cm, so better for me, I have better posture without the aid of the wall to support my back! haha! And I just saw your contributers height page, I'm actually the exact same height as Jenny, not you as I said before, since her morning height and evening height are same as mine, 175.8cm - 173.5cm. One last thing, the Mamun height isn't quite acurate, his full body picture shows 5'7.75", and that's adding slightly, I just used a ruler on his full length body picture and from 6ft to 5'6" there were precise 3cm, beeing each 0.5cm equivalent to one inch, and Mamun had barely reached 5'8" with his hair. So 5'7.75" or 172cm would be his more correct height. I know he might be upset since he says 5’8.25”, but it’s worth changing since this site is all about precise height on celebs!
[Editor Rob: I've said before that the shop mamun stood at itself might not be accurate, mamun has said he's measured a fraction over 5ft 8 on a stadiometer at the gym in the afternoon, well that's good enough.] Danimal says on 7/Oct/09
In which picture were you 185 pounds Rob? James says on 7/Oct/09
lol sorry all the anonymous posts were by me. Just forgot to put my name lol. James says on 7/Oct/09
Rob one last question today. Were you suprised when you first saw glenn that he was not as tall than you would have imagined him to be? Even though a year ago you were saying that you were doubtful that glenn would measure under 5'7.5? Could you kind of see him being a bit under 5'7 from a mile off even before you arrive in New York last April?
[Editor Rob: the 'not measuring under' was part of keeping the plan alive. With no glenn there wasn't going to be a reveal of his height!] Hobbit98 says on 7/Oct/09
Hey Rob, in the morning I am 5'7 1/3" and it's really weird, I shrink a little bit during the day, but same days more than others. For example, some days I even shrink down to 5'6.75, but I usually shrink around 1/3 of an inch to 5'7" flat. Is that normal? So my height would be in the 5'7" category? It's really weird... In the morning sometimes I feel really tall up in the air, and my legs feel stretched out and at night my legs feel really short and my back feels compressed, and I'm in the upper 5'6 range?
[Editor Rob: maybe some days you do more physical work and lose a few mm extra?
even if you dropped 1/4 inch under 5ft 7, I'd still just say 5ft 7 as nobody could really tell you weren't!] James says on 7/Oct/09
Rob when your first met glenn for the measurment did he appear nervous at all? Also after the first measurement I am guessin glenn kind of went red and acted shocked or embarresed? Sorry I might have asked you these questions before but I am just interested to know thats all.
[Editor Rob: I think pretty much as soon as he saw me he knew he wasn't going to be measured anywhere near 5ft 7.5 let alone 5ft 8. He used the word embarrassing to describe his measurement of 5ft 6.75 and for the rest of the first meeting I think had all sorts of stuff going on his mind!
maybe now that he's no longer here, he won't have any of the problems or worries about height that this site seemed to bring upon him. I've not spoken to him so don't know if that's true, but would hope it to be the case!

That explains it, Rob. James says on 7/Oct/09
Rob you have defnintly got quite a big build for someone your size. I am guessing your quite a strong man? Do you go the gym at all?
[Editor Rob: I don't go to the gym. What I seem to have ended up doing the last 2 years is a lot of physical labour. Helping family and friends with redoing houses, I mean gutting, moving, lifting, decorating etc.] Metric says on 7/Oct/09
Lol, I noticed that about your weight, Rob. Your shoulders look much wider now in recent photos. You have taken up weights perhaps? Cyndi Yolanda says on 7/Oct/09
thanks rob. so you are a strong 5ft8 guy. but you look under 140pounds. you look quite slim in photos. so do you think most celeb peak height was known from the height out of bed? example a guy whose 192.7cm out of bed and claim 6ft4, but looks a solid 6ft3.75 impression to people. because most people are few mm or a cm shorter 1 or 2 hour after they awake.
[Editor Rob: well the lowest I've weighed in any photo on this site is 155-156lbs, currently I am about 173lbs.
the highest is near 185lbs.
I think guessing weights seems a lot harder!] Will says on 7/Oct/09
Rob, I'm the exact same height as you. Exept my morning height is taller. I'm 176cm in the morning (5'9.25"), and my afternoon height is 173.5-174cm, and my night height is 173cm-173.5cm. When I measure with my back against the wall I ALWAYS get EXACT 173cm, but if I just face the wall at the SAME spot and measure I get 173.5cm. Why is that??? Wich one is more correct, with my back on the wall or facing the wall? Do you get different measurement when you face your stadiometer?
[Editor Rob: you might be inhibiting your stance against the wall a bit - maybe not realising as you're measuring that your back might not be exactly as straight as facing it? It's hard to say, small differences can be due to things like that, or simply the floor/wall isn't exactly straight either.
But there is no difference in your height whether you are facing towards or away from the stadiometer...unless the floor is at an angle or when you bring the platter down you have bent backwards slightly and lost some height.] RobFan says on 6/Oct/09
hi Rob, I just want to Know if U r 5ft8 even with shoes on
[Editor Rob: 5ft 8 in shoes?
I got up at 7am and just now took a photo at 7.45am wearing air max 180...
Rob in shoes.] Brad says on 6/Oct/09
6' 2" is perfect. G wouldn't care at 5' 11". When yer looking up at Stallone who is 5' 9" tops (in effect) you care. Sorry Flash, height means nuthin, hasn't done anything for me cept looking over things. 6-2 and stay cool. James says on 6/Oct/09
Yeah that is what I mean rob. Was glenn a short man who just wanted to be in the average range hence why he tried to hang on to 5ft8? Or would if he have wanted to be a tall man like 6ft and over? You see the thing is I am guessing if was a height like 5'10-5'11 he would been fustrated about not reaching 6ft or more and possibly would have claimed higher?
[Editor Rob: I think glenn had more of a concern about height than he claimed...] James says on 6/Oct/09
Rob do you think Roy Keane is 5'10 like football sites list him as?
[Editor Rob: I don't think he's just 5ft 10.] James says on 6/Oct/09
I wonder if glenn was 4 inches taller like 5'10-5'11 would he have cared enough to round up and claim 6ft?
[Editor Rob: maybe he wouldn't have cared much if he was that height.] flash_of_eden says on 6/Oct/09
I can't speak for other men, but I know that I would love to be 6'6" (currently standing about 6'2"). Brad, you should embrace your height. Cyndi Yolanda says on 5/Oct/09
rob, how tall exactly the height the most you are out of bed? if your 5ft8 claim count as in the morning?
[Editor Rob: 5ft 8.75 out of bed normally.] James says on 5/Oct/09
Rob would consider maybe downgrading Jeff Goldblum to 6'3.5? If you go on getty images you will see he is looking 1.5 inches under 6'5 Peter Hermann. James says on 5/Oct/09
Well Brad if people ask how tall you are just say 6'5 or 6'4 and a half.
tommy i am sure most men would be happy being 6'2. tommy says on 5/Oct/09
most men 6ft3+ or even a bit lower want to be shorter
a mate at university 2 years ago hated his height of 6ft2 and wanted to be 6ft 6ft1 Brad says on 5/Oct/09
I wear worn out Chuck Taylors and slouch everyday. I pull the anti-Sly move and find the low parts of sidewalks. I'd love to be 6' 2" again. tommy says on 5/Oct/09

Rob- what's your estimate on Gordon Brown & Sarah Brown? I think he is 5'11"-5'11.5" & Sarah Brown is 5'8"-5'8.5".
