Oh, kill me now. Why does anybody care? Why do I care?!? But here I am, perversely curious to find out every arcane fact about David Cook. I'm going to say 5'10" plus 1/4. Now I'll go back to YouTube to watch every video with him in it for the 1000th time. angel says on 24/Jun/08
dustin breeding is 5'10
myk says on 20/Jun/08
is katherine heigl really 5'9"? coz in knocked up she was as tall as ryan seacrest and ryan was wearing chucks...go figure...these guys really drive me crazy! MD says on 18/Jun/08
With Mike Myers, who's given 5'7", here. In fact, I think he was even in moccasin-type shoes, here:

Click Here Phil says on 13/Jun/08
According to someone who has seen Andrew, Cook's brother, Andrew is 6'0". David looked 5'11" next to him. Viper says on 8/Jun/08
Cook is only 5-9? He looks cloesr to 6-0 to me. Unless he wears some big footwear. Markus says on 7/Jun/08
Archuleta looks 163-164 cm (and I'm glad he didn't win). Cook is definitely 177-179 cm in case Seacrest doesn't wear elevator shoes (which I don't believe, because it wouldn't make sense compared to some other contestants).
I think Seacrest is a weak 5'8'' guy for sure. And it's not a bad height at all, not even for a male. phil. says on 6/Jun/08
met all three of them. archuletta is 5'4'' MAYBE. seacrest is 5'6-5'7. He is NOT 5'8''. Cook is in the 5'9'' range. LILLEE says on 4/Jun/08
seacrest was the same height as blake lewis so david archuleta can't be 5'6.5" if blake is 5'7" thats insane.archie is more like 5'4- 5'5" tops Nik says on 2/Jun/08
I met the both Davids. i am 5'7'' soo Next to me I will guess Archie is 5'5'' and Cook is 5'9'' or 5'10'' wents chick says on 2/Jun/08
who cares if david archuleta is "short" he is gorgeous!!!! and he definately should have won. he is everything you would ever want in an idol. he's talented, funny, and humble. now cook might be a good singer but he's totally arogant. Go archie!!!!!!!! Anonymous says on 31/May/08
okay this is annoying me. this site says he is 5' 7'' he says he is 5' 9''. my friends at school say he is 5' 2'' and cook is not 6' 2'' he is like 5' 10''. also my friend told me david a( im his huge fan) is 5 foot!!!! i dont think so he is prob like 5' 5'' MD says on 30/May/08
He's not even 5'7.75", though. Aimie says on 30/May/08
yeah right I don't think he is 5'9. That would make all idol contestants giants. Stephanie says on 29/May/08
He looks short in comparison because the women are in heels and most of the boys/men on the show are taller than he is. But 5' 7.75" isn't bad at all. the shredder says on 25/May/08
yea , I don't think David Cook is over 6'0 ... Ive seen him listed 6'2 in some places which is B.S. ! tall says on 24/May/08
6'0 Hayden Christensen towered over Seacrest here. Maybe 4.5 inches and Christensen is wearing running shoes and Seacrest is wearing dress shoes. They both seem straight at some point.
Click Here Lindsay says on 24/May/08
I say Cook is 5'11" to 6'0". I don't think he is over 6'0" though. So glad he won! Markus says on 24/May/08
I'd say Cook is more like 5'10''-5'11'' (cowboy boots). Jake Is Back says on 24/May/08
I'd go more 5'11" for Cook than 6'. great90 says on 24/May/08
5'7 is about right.. Antron says on 24/May/08
no 3inch lifts RL, or rather, the most he (or anyone) can really get out of lifts is about 1.5in. So I think he may be like Tom Cruise where he is 5'7" and looks 5'8" or so all the time because he's in lifts. I saw him in LA and he was slightly taller in boot-like shoes than me (169cm)in flip flops. No way is he 5'9" though.
As far as Cook, he does look about 6'0 all the time, but he is usually in cowboy boots as far as I can tell. So I'll say maybe 5'11" barefo
David A. is most likely 5'5." No taller. Viper says on 24/May/08
Yeah, I agree with that estimation for Cook. Hes close to 6-0. Jake Is Back says on 23/May/08
Barefoot, I'd say Myers is taller than Seacrest. Clay says on 23/May/08
Cook looks like a solid 5'11' - 6'0''. Jake Is Back says on 22/May/08
I watched the Mike Myers part again Click Here (go to 3:30 if you want to skip to the Seacrest comparison) Mike Myers was nearly the same height as Seacrest, maybe Myers just a tad shorter but as you can see he has flatter shoes than Seacrest. RL says on 22/May/08
Seacrest wears about 3" lifts in his shoes. The distance from his knees to the floor looks way out of proportion. He MIGHT be 5'5". Brah says on 22/May/08
5'11" George Michael also appeared about 4.5 inches taller than Seacrest last night on Idol.
I did not know how tall Michael was, and am surprised that he is only 5'11". Brah says on 22/May/08
Actually, I thought at times, Mike Myers was either the same height as Seacrest or Seacrest was slightly taller.
However, Myers seemed to wearing flatter shoes as well. Viper says on 22/May/08
Man, Rob needs to bring this guy down to 5-7. Jake Is Back says on 21/May/08
Mike Myers actually looked slightly taller than Seacrest on tonight's show. MD says on 18/May/08
Archuleta has got to be 5'5", tops, because Ryan is significantly and notably taller than him. Brah says on 18/May/08
Archuleta is like 5'5"-5'6". aaa says on 18/May/08
I saw David Archuleta seemed shorter than Ryan Seacrest. What is David Archuleta's height. Peetie says on 14/May/08
He look 5'6.5'' for me because blake lewis is ONLY 5'6'' and he's not different from Blake L. And He's a lot shorter than Jordin Sparks.
Somehow , Jordin Sparks is 5'9.5''-5'10'' max. but she looks 6'0'' with heels like Gwyneth P. who tall 5'9.5'' but looks 6'0.5'' when wear heels. Leung says on 11/May/08
MD,
You shouldnt be surprised because we have seen 510-511 guys tower over Seacrest on many occasions, its just another day in the life of 57 Seacrest. anjiluhmarie says on 10/May/08
either ryan isnt 5'9, or mariah carey isnt 5'9, like everywhere states, because when she was on the show, she was in heels, and she was shoulder to shoulder with ryan MD says on 9/May/08
Yes, I saw that, and it surprised me. He absolutely dwarfed him, and Adam Levine isn't all that tall (5'11"). Trixie says on 8/May/08
Last night, Maroon5 frontman TOWERED over Seacrest. AM says on 6/May/08
Obviously there's not going to be that much of a big diff between them if she was wearing flats..... And I LOOOVVEEE ryan seacrest. I dont care what anyone says. MD says on 5/May/08
JJD,
You're taking into account her heels, aren't you? I still don't think he's anything over 5'7". JJD says on 5/May/08
I always thought Seacrest to be less than 5'7" honestly...he was dwarfed by Jordin Sparks (who is 5'10" I think) the height disparity looked to be more than 3 inches to me. gothie79 says on 5/May/08
I always thought Jason was taller than David C. :o
btw david cook has myspace?!. Anon2008 says on 30/Apr/08
You're right Phil about the height fluctuations. If you saw last night, Cook didn't look as tall as he usually does next to Seacrest and Castro looked taller than Seacrest. Anon2008 says on 29/Apr/08
Weird, Cook looked no more than 5'10" next to Seacrest tonight (4/29). He usually looks taller. He probably rounds up half an inch like I sometimes do. Brah says on 29/Apr/08
David Cook lists his height as 5'11" on his myspace. That looks about right on Idol. Anon2008 says on 28/Apr/08
Anyone want to take a gander as to what David Cook's height is? In relation to Seacrest, Cook looks maybe 6 feet, but he seems to wear cowboy boots. And Sam if you saw idol gives back which was on recently, you see Williams shorter than Seacrest... lifts for Seacrest maybe? Eh.. Williams is probably shorter still. sam says on 26/Apr/08
robin williams and seacrest are both hovering around 5'8. cowell might be a smidge taller Phil says on 23/Apr/08
What I see is that Ryan's height fluctuates very often. Here are a couple of examples based on my observations:
1. Ryan was either 2 inches taller than Blake Lewis or 1 inch
2. Chris Daughtry: 1 inch shorter than Chris or the same height
3. Jason Castro: Anywhere from an inch shorter to an inch taller
4. David Archuleta: Either two inches or three inches taller Charley says on 23/Apr/08
I did not realise that Jason Castro was only 5'7", he was definately taller than Seacrest! MD says on 22/Apr/08
Just for reference, here he is with contestant David Archuleta, however tall he is. It's worth also remembering that Ryan probably has in lifts, especially on the show.

2. Click Here Brah says on 21/Apr/08
What's also strange is that the contestant Jason Castro is listed online everywhere at 5'7" and he called himself short. Yet, on every show, he is taller than Seacrest by an inch or so! Jake Is Back says on 19/Apr/08
Bang on 5'7", I agree. MD says on 18/Apr/08
Yeah, Seacrest is not anything over 5'7", but I've come around to the point that he's nothing under that, either. Why he remains at almost 5'8", though, is beyond me. There is nothing to support that knowing that he wears lifts. glenn says on 18/Apr/08
i couldve sworn williams was 5-8 in the early 90s.he is indeed 5-6 now. Leung says on 17/Apr/08
Forget about the comparison with Robin Williams, he is not a reliable point of reference because we can not pinpoint his height. In his youth Robin Williams really did look close to 58 and in recent times we have also seen recent examples of him scrapping 56, last year there we pics on the Elijah Wood page where Robin Williams and Froddo are nearly the same height.
Like the majority of the people here I see Seacrest at 57 flat. We have seen 510 Akon tower him, 59 Nick Lachey easily beat him, and even 57.75 Ludacris taller than him. And also the numerous American Idol contestants that point out his short stature when they are shocked at how short he is. Charley says on 17/Apr/08
I agree that Seacrest is taller than Williams, however, when Glenn met Williams he said he did not look over 5'6". Charley says on 17/Apr/08
The more I see him on TV next to others, the shorter he seems to look. I definately do not think he exceeds 170cm, having him as 172cm is ridiculous in my opinion, I think the editor should downgrade him by 2cm. the shredder says on 17/Apr/08
Williams taller then Seacrest ??????????????? PLEASE fedEx me what ever your smoking !
Rob , does Seacrest look smaller ??????
Click Here
[Editor Rob: seacrest looks taller.] TM says on 15/Apr/08
Earlier posters must have been watching a different TV than me because Robin Williams(5'7) looked taller than Seacrest. As soon as I seen that I thought there is no way he is the height posted here. If you look at the pics of him beside sanjaya and after how short he looked beside Robin Williams I put this guy at 5'6. Giving him 5'7 would be generous, this height needs downgraded some. Brah says on 15/Apr/08
A 3 inch women's heel would give around 2.5 inches. If she is 5'5.5" then she is 5'8" in heels.
If Ryan was a half-inch to inch taller, he was 5'8.5" to 5'9" in dress shoes.
So, barefoot, he is around 5'7" and change. Phil says on 14/Apr/08
Kady Malloy, herself, said that she is 5'5.5", and she was about a half-inch to an inch shorter than Ryan. If she comes up to about 5'7.25" in 3 inch heels, then Ryan is probably 5'7.75". Brah says on 11/Apr/08
Hmm, upon further inspection, Seacrest probably is closer to 5'7" than 5'8" (I originally thought Rob's 5'7.75" listing was a good estimate).
But now, I can see 5'7" to 5'7.5" max suits him more.
Sanjaya is a definite 5'9, he claimed he is 5'9" and he was noticeably shorter than Leno.
Next to Sanjaya with Converse, Seacrest looks even less than 5'9" with shoes on! Miranda says on 11/Apr/08

He looked at least 2 inches taller than Robin Williams on Idol Gives back. Very strange, because he really looked tall in that scene? Could Robin be shorter than 5'7"? Jake Is Back says on 8/Apr/08
I think he truly is about 5'7", a moderately short guy. sam says on 7/Apr/08
i think he truly is about 5'8, not really a short guy... Leung says on 30/Mar/08
tallgirl says on 29/Mar/08
he is tall some people think 5 9 is short for a boy even though i am his height lol but for a boy i htink that is tall lol because a lot of girls are like 5 feet and like 5 4 so he isnt short
haha someone saying Seacrest is tall, now that is definitely the first time I have heard that. Tallgirl, if you are 59 then you are most certainly taller than Seacrest. tallgirl says on 29/Mar/08

ryan is a 172cm guy !!! Brah says on 27/Mar/08
I think Paul is a strong 6 feet. I saw his height listed as both 6'0" and 6'1" last year, so I went with the lower figure.
Yeah the difference looks around 5 inches most of the video. Though, at the 5:26-5:28 mark in the video, the top of Seacrest's head looks a little above Paul's eyeline, so more 4 inches. Jake Is Back says on 26/Mar/08
Watching the video again, I think even if Paul's a 6 footer Ryan could still be only 5'7" flat. In many shots he falls just below Paul's eye line pointing to a 5" difference. He can't be 5'6" though if Paul's 6'. Jake Is Back says on 26/Mar/08
The guy in the video with his shoes off had Ryan by 4" - 5". If he's actually a legit 6' Ryan is 5'7" - 5'8". Although I wouldn't be suprised if the contestant was really more 5'11" - 5'11.5", as that would correspond more to a 5'6.5" - 5'7" Seacrest which he has looked on many occasions. One things for sure, even though he's self concious about his height to some degree, Ryan is a lot less so than Simon (who would never go barefoot). Phil says on 23/Mar/08
I thought Paul was 6'1". Brah says on 22/Mar/08
Yes, I remember that Jim. We discussed Seacrest going barefoot last year on celebheights.
The Asian guy is Paul Kim, he is 6 feet tall.
It was after seeing that on TV that I concluded that Seacrest is about 5'7.75" barefoot like Rob has listed him at, and is 5'9" in shoes. So he claims his height with shoes on. Brah says on 22/Mar/08
Anne Hathaway was wearing high heels. Of course she would be taller than him. Most of the women on American Idol also wear 3 inch heels. That is why he is often shorter than average height women on the show. Jim says on 22/Mar/08
Click Here that is a clip from last year of american idol, fter the asian guy sings, ryan walks on stage barefoot because the singer sang barefoot, and ryan was around 4 inches shorter, but I dont know how tall the singer is. Atleast this shows ryan doesnt try to hide his height as much as we thought. I wonder if simon will ever go in public barefoot. Victorian says on 21/Mar/08
Anne Hathaway was 2-3 inches taller than him at the oscars. He seemed to have only one inch of a difference with patrick dempsey though. Jim says on 21/Mar/08
OK I found it the clip. Click Here
Go to the end of the video when Ryan goes on stage. Their obviously both barefoot and ryans head looks like it reaches pauls eyes, so I would say ryan is around 4 inches shorter. Dont know how tall paul is though. Atleast this shoes ryan isnt as self-consious about his height as we thought. Simon would never go anymore barefoot. Jim says on 21/Mar/08
How tall is that one korean guy who was the first one eliminated in the top 24 last season? He looked fairly tall, about a 6 footer to me. Anyways he sang the song barefoot, and then ryan went on stage barefoot as well and ryan was like around 3 inches shorter give or take. someone find the clip. Jake Is Back says on 19/Mar/08
Daughtry was taller than Seacrest. Lewis was sometimes shorter than Ryan by 1" - 1.5" but sometimes actually looked just as tall as Seacrest (maybe he forgot his lifts). Sanjaya was nothing less than 2" taller than Seacrest (both claim 5'9"). maximus says on 18/Mar/08
Most people claim their height in shoes....I have met guys that stated they were 6'2 and where only a little bit taller than me..maybe an inch or two...... I would say 98% of all people add a least an inch or two to their actual height. I'm 5'10 1/2 to 5'11 barefoot depending on when you measure me. Definetly 5'11 for a few hours in the morning...later down to 5'10 1/2. MD says on 18/Mar/08
ACG, ever heard of lifts. lol Seriously, you didn't even mention that. And, I'm pretty sure it was last season where he even inadvertantly admitted wearing them when standing next to a barefoot contestent. Brah says on 17/Mar/08
Blake Lewis claims 5'7" and Ryan Seacrest is about one inch taller. Chris Daughtry claims 5'8" and Seacrest looks about the same height. Sanjaya is 5'9" and looked 2 inches taller. David Archuleta claims 5'6" and Seacrest looks 2 inches taller.
In conclusion, he looks close to 5'8" on the show. He claims 5'9" because he counts his shoes. I have met many people who claim their height in shoes. Leung says on 17/Mar/08
Yes ACG you are the only person that believes Seacrest's claims of 5'9". How can you possibly see 59-510 for him?
Seacrest is 5'7" which is short for an early 30's American Caucasian male. ACG says on 16/Mar/08
Am I the only one on this green planet that actually thinks Ryan looks at the very least the 5'9 that he claims?!?!
I've did some research and after looking at him compared to many contestants(looking at a bunch of their myspaces), I've come to the conclusion that either every single contestant who stands next to Ryan is lying about their own height, or Ryan is really 5'9-5'10.
For example, this naturally 5'7 girl was wearing heals and looked like a midget next to Ryan....Ryan may wear lifts, but there's no way anyone 5'7 could look so tall.
Calling Seacrest "short" is beyond ridiculous. SportGirl says on 14/Mar/08
on AI ryan looks way shorter! if he's 5'7 or 5'9, he's taller than me...? Dude says on 14/Mar/08
Funny how many folks mention kids today and how they are taller. What do you expect with all the crap (hormones etc.) in all the processed foods we eat. Everyone over 30 would be at least 3-5 inches taller if they ate that garbage during age 3-18. The truth is poeple are getting a bit taller but they are very weak (no strength). So who cares they are a little taller. Height means nothing in reality unless you are a midget wrestler or an NBA player.
P.S. Avg heights for males 5'7" to 5'11". Short avg to tall avg range respectively. Anything below is short, anything above is tall. 5'9" dead avg. Funny that is my height but I don't see to many around that height, seems everyone is below or above so it does feel like the mean. MD says on 13/Mar/08
Yeah, I really don't know how much more proof we need to see. He's 5'7", and not anything more than that. And, quite frankly, he has good proportions, so he shouldn't be ashamed because he doesn't particularly look short when standing alone. Bosco says on 13/Mar/08
another celeb who's 5'7 flat and wont admitt it...
but hey its hollywoodland, everybody are taller than 6' feet haha
he's 5'7 flat Leung says on 12/Mar/08
Height Fiend,
Your denial makes it sound as though you are ashamed of your height. 57 is short unless you are a girl. You may be able to see shorter guys in the street but the reality is that most guys are taller than you. You already stated that 59-511 is average. Leung says on 12/Mar/08
Lmeister is right, without doubt Seacrest is short. Lmeister you are also taller than Seacrest because he is only 57. Lmeister says on 12/Mar/08
He is short no matter what ppl say. I'm also 5ft8 (5ft7.5 in the evening). I don't understand short guys making "excuses". It really sounds that ppl have a lot of height related problems some feel superior and some feel inferior, cause their height. The height doesn't really makeup good personality and good looks etc... filipino guy says on 12/Mar/08
I think for Ryan to look taller(close to 6 flat), he should wear 3 to 4 inches of high heels designed for girls. I'm sorry Ryan, but I stand above 6 feet. jovendelacruz says on 12/Mar/08
In my opinion, he is a bit short (172 cm) for an American guy. I stand 6'1", given a chance to meet him in person, I believe he would just within my eye level. WantingtoBe6FT says on 11/Mar/08
I'd say this height is dead-on for Seacrest. And what's interesting is that I never really notice much of a difference between him and the contestants. I wouldn't exactly call him "short" Brah says on 11/Mar/08
Yes, in my opinion 5'7" is short. Most young guys I see nowadays are 5'10" and taller. It is VERY common for me to see a large group of 5 to 8 young guys hanging out and they are all 5'10" to 6'2". Height Fiend says on 8/Mar/08
Brah im 5'7 and im not short! In YOUR opinion i am but in reality when i walk down the street im not much smaller or taller than alot of people, id say 5'7 is lower average. 5'6 - 5'8 is lower avergage . 5'9 - 5'11 is average. Anything 6 foot and over is tall and anything less than 5'6 is short. But then, that is just an opinion. Jake Is Back says on 7/Mar/08
While I am of the opinion Seacrest is no more than 5'7" barefoot, I would not call him 5'4" - 5'5". He was about the same height, he was a full 2" shorter than Sanjaya last year (5'9") but he wasn't 4" - 5" shorter. Brah says on 6/Mar/08
5'4 to 5'5", get serious. Then that would make Blake Lewis (who is 5'7") 5'3" then. And David Archuleta is only 5'2" then.
Have you watched this year's American Idol. 90% of the male contestants were around the same height as Seacrest, some even shorter. I guess 90% of the male contestants this year are 5'2" to 5'6".
5'7.75" (which is still short) for Seacrest is as accurate as you get.
Some people have no common sense. JohnD says on 4/Mar/08
I agree with most others...Really, if he actually IS average (at 5'9"/175cm) he'd be saying he's 5'10" or 5'11"...
Take a look next to John Mayer(6'3" or so)...flat ground, probably same shoewear...have to account for Mayer's slouching down to hear/intimidate Seacrest... ;)

bull****, no way he's 5'9 and he also freakin wear lifts like Tom Cruise does. He's not even 5'7, trust me I've seen people who are 5'7 and they're couple inches taller than him. He's like 5'4-5'5 barefeet probably. Jake Is Back says on 29/Feb/08
Look at him next to Sanjaya or Blake Lewis (both from last season) he's 5'7" flat. Hollie says on 29/Feb/08
I just watched Katharine McPhee perform the song "think" on american idol and she took her shoes off and was standing right next to him and he looked at the most one inch taller. So...I'd say that 5'7.75 inches is correct. Leung says on 28/Feb/08
chris175, from what you have written I gather that you are happy with Robs listing of Cruise of 57.75 that seems accurate to me so I am happy with that. Therefore our differences of opinion are with our estimates of Seacrest. You said that he could be closer to 59 whereas I am firmly of the opinion that he is 57 flat.
Seacrest has good body proportions which means he can look average height when he is standing solo but it becomes obvious that he is short when he is standing next to other people. chris175 says on 28/Feb/08
i disagree leung, i believe cruise wears big lifts: Click Here
and how can you say that im "wrong" lol, its not like as if anyone here really knows, i could be wrong but who knows really. what do you think rob?
[Editor Rob: I see papers doin such things on occassion. That right shot is awful. The left shot she's got a looser posture from what I remember looking at those event shots.] Leung says on 28/Feb/08
chris175 you are wrong, Seacrest vs Cruise, I'm sure that Cruise would win the battle of the little men. You see Seacrest is 5'7" flat, whereas Cruise is 5'7" plus change, Cruise is only a tad under 5'8".
Seacrest can only dream that he was as tall as Tom Cruise. Jake Is Back says on 27/Feb/08
Nah man, Sanjaya was 5'9" and he had 2" on Ryan. He was no more than 5'9" either, compared to Jay Leno. chris175 says on 27/Feb/08
he is not shorter than 5-7, i keep thinking that if seacrest and tom cruise stood next to each other barefoot, seacrest would be taller and they are both listed as 5-7.75. could be closer to the 5-9 that he says than people here think Jake Is Back says on 27/Feb/08
Yes he's been known to wear lifts. Almost as bad as Simon Cowell. Hopegal says on 26/Feb/08
Seems like he's wearing lifts or something because he's as tall as most of the performers this season. Or the performers are shorter this season? Anonymous says on 26/Feb/08
He's 5'7" barefoot, max imo. Sometimes he looked as short as Blake Lewis. 5'7" isn't really all that short anyways. Tom says on 22/Feb/08
With normal men's shoes he is probably about 5'8". You can tell from his stature and how he appears next to some of the taller contestants. I don't think he is trying to make people think he is taller either. He's pretty honest about his height. Who cares, anyway? Robin says on 20/Feb/08
i'd say hes around 5'71/2. simon is definetly around 5'9. lol but he does those wears big platform
shoes :P Paul_Pierce_4_ever says on 20/Feb/08

yeah.... that's about an inch right there Brah says on 20/Feb/08
Ryan Seacrest must be happy. This year's crop of Idol contestants is shorter than before. He was about the same height as most of the male contestants and even taller than a couple. norwegian says on 20/Feb/08
I think Ryan can be 5 ft 7.75 in. with his shoes on. He's probably about 1 inch shorter. He's no 5'9".. but I think he's right about being average! There is a rage of what average is. 5'7" isn't a really weird height.. if you see a guy that height on the bus you're not thinking "wow he's not average".. You find 5'7" guys all around. It's below the calculated average height.. that doesn't mean it's not average;)
Have you seen Ryan on this season of American Idol? Does he seem taller to you (shoes?)? Or is the contestents shorter than usual? <3 K says on 19/Feb/08
well seeing him on t.v. i would guess 5'4" but i can imagine hes 5'6" but 5'7-9" ?!? thts insane (i completely do not believe tht) Aaron says on 10/Feb/08
He was also looking down on 5'7 Keira Knightley so this seems about right. Aaron says on 10/Feb/08
He was a fair bit taller than Daniel Radcliffe at the BAFTAS. And he was a bit taller than Sienna Miller (dunno if she was wearing heels). chris175 says on 8/Feb/08
this guy is built very similar to myself, he could well be 5-9 but doesnt look it at all, although i would also say that he could be as low as 5-6! seems to have a pretty good straight posture all the time, longer neck and shorter body can make him look short big time, im goin with robs listing though ;) scotty says on 7/Feb/08
He always jokes about his height and his stature and build reminds me a lot of myself, so I would guess he is 5'6 give or take a little, definitely not 5'9, there would be no reason to joke about being short at 5'9, a lot of leading Hollywood guys are in the 5'9 5'10 range. sam says on 6/Feb/08
even in the pic with scott foley, looks short but not that bad considering how big those heels on that girl is and those dudes look pretty big. kinda short but could be 5'8. remember a lot of people can make average height guys look short. Jane_Fonda says on 4/Feb/08
I saw an interview he did with gael garcia bernal for babel on the red carpet and he looked about half an inch taller then gael which would make him 5'6" and 3/4, he really shouldn't be marked this high unless you want to upgrade Gael? johnson says on 4/Feb/08
Seacrest has at times looked tiny on American Idol, a legit 5-9 guy would occasionally look short, but never tiny, so in my opinion he is probably 5-7ish. internet_hey says on 1/Feb/08
if he stepped back and lined up with the japanese backup dancers he would be barely taller than them! Leung says on 31/Jan/08
Jcoltrane,
That photo is a shocker, Seacreast is really struggling for height in that photo. Akon is only 510 but he is absolutely dominating Seacrest.
Seacrest is no more than 57. jcoltrane says on 30/Jan/08
After measuring the photo linked below, he definitely seems to be 5'7.5"-5'8", though he could easily be wearing lifts.
Click Here D'woody says on 28/Jan/08
Went to high school with him - he was same height as me back then, so 5'8"-5'9". Also, he played football and I don't remember him being a tiny guy for the team. Nataliee says on 27/Jan/08
Hi...
If you look at that picture , I really don't think he is over 5'6''?

i've seen blake lewis in person, he's about 5'5"-5'6". so ryan is probably 5'7" and 1/2 :P. Lebensdorf says on 17/Jan/08
I would say that he's a solid 5'7'' and no taller. He's quite lean and elegant and very well-proportioned, so he looks taller than he actually is. In fact, standing alone, with no references, he could pass for 5'10'' or a bit more. But next to Randy (who is 5'8'' or so), he looks to be nearly an inch and a half shorter. I noticed this last night on the show; I thought I'd give my two cents. AIrules says on 15/Jan/08
Lol, if he's really 5'5", then Blake Lewis must be 5'3" and Simon/Randy would be 5'6". I think he is around 5'8" - 5'9" cause he seems to be taller than Blake around 1" or 2", and Blake Lewis is 5'7"... so yeah Ryan can't be 5'5", unless he's wearing 4" - 5" heels. the shredder says on 14/Jan/08
Then just give him 171cm lol ! the shredder says on 14/Jan/08
Rob , what do you think is Max and Min for Seacrest ? ... your HONEST opinion !
[Editor Rob: 170-172] Anonymous says on 12/Jan/08
no way he's 5'8, he's shorter than that, he's like 5'5 or 5'6 tops. the shredder says on 12/Jan/08
Yea he is not 5'9 , but I do think he can be as tall as 5'8 1/2 ! ... He is atleast 5'7 ... Most likely 5'8 ! Antron says on 11/Jan/08
Just found a pic of Seacrest with Zac (5'8") Efron.
Click Here
Seacrest (closer to the camera,wearing a suit and wearing dress shoes at the very least if not lifts) looks about .5-.75 inch taller than Efron dressed casually. Zac actually has a slight lean and his shoulders look about even with Seacrest's so even the slight advantage Seacrest has could be negated even more. To all those who think this guy is really 5'9" he's not. Antron says on 11/Jan/08
I think he's about 170cm and wears lifts. I actually think Tom Cruise is slightly taller than him. It would be great to see a picture of them together, though I doubt such a pic exists. ACG says on 11/Jan/08
please tell me that you guys aren't seriously talking about a peak height for seacrest. the guy is barely 30 ffs. Caesar says on 9/Jan/08
El says on 7/Jan/08
Seacrest may have been 5'9" at his peak, around age 21 or so. He said he was overweight as a teen. When he started losing weight he may have lost height as well. I think 5'7.75" is reasonable. Blake Lewis is 5'7" and Seacrest is not much taller. Sanjaya is like 5'9.5"
Self-admitted 5'8 Chris Daughtry had a clear inch over Seacrest. Seacrest may be a strong 5'7, but no more. A Glenn picture could prove me wrong (as it did in upgrading Damon, Cruise and Farrell), but not much else. El says on 7/Jan/08

I agree with Viper. Don't drag people down with you just because you wish you were 5'9 Seacrest. There is a definate height complex with this guy. Viper says on 5/Jan/08
Ryan saying hes 5-9 and short gives other people at a real 5-9 a bad name. Anonymous says on 4/Jan/08
Absolute bs anon. Ive seen him on the tonight show look almost as tall as leno. He is not that short. He could be 5'7 min if he wears big lifts. He might be over 5'8. Hes not that short.
5'6 and under is completly impossible. No chance whatsoever. Would be great to see an comparison to glenn.
I personally think hes 5'7-5'8.5...somewhere in there but no shorter unless he had 5 inch lifts on leno lol. Anonymous says on 4/Jan/08
I don't think that the height 5'9 is short at all.... is it? Anonymous says on 3/Jan/08
HAHA, omg I gotta laugh my ass off, hes not 5'9 at all like he said, nor he's like 5'7 or 5'8 listed. He's like 5'5 or 5'6 the most. Maddie says on 1/Jan/08
If you watched the ringing in of the New Year, he stood right next to Carrie Underwood, who is 5'3 and was wearing spiked heel boots and he was taller than her. B-nn says on 30/Dec/07
I think everybody knows he's kinda short, nevertheless he's doing a great job hosting shows... f8E0R123N says on 24/Dec/07
im 5,11 and i stood right next to him in a store in california, i was wearing sk8 shoes which are basically flat and he was wearing 1 inch boots. i had at least 5 inches on him. i'd have to say hes about 5 foot 6, mebe 5 foot 7 max. Bidel says on 18/Dec/07
Ryan and Teri Hatcher 5'6 Click Here Socom says on 7/Dec/07
I believe this listing to be accurate. 5'7.75 seems right observer says on 8/Nov/07
Brian Seacrest was interviewed on ABC's late night news show. Seacrest was shown with his E! female co-anchor. She took her heels off right before the taping of their show and said it's because Seacrest is only 5'9" tall.
In general, I've noticed that shorter guys add to inches to their real height when they state their height. Brandon says on 29/Oct/07
I am exactly 5'7 3/4 and I know I am taller than Ryan Seacrest, he seems shorter than that unless everyone on American Idol is like 6 feet tall! Leung says on 25/Oct/07
Due to his good body proportions he doesnt look noticeably short when he is standing alone and 59 sounds like a reasonable claim.
However the obvious giveaway is him being clearly shorter standing next to 58-59 guys. My opinion is that Seacrest is 57. Lmeister says on 24/Oct/07
That's true Brah he looked average. Actually he even was wearing normal sneakers when standing next to Kathrine Heigl(5'9''ish)and didn't look noticeably shorter. Brah says on 23/Oct/07
I also noticed that he did not look short in Knocked Up. One thing I notice about Seacrest is that he has a tiny head! If he stands alone, this can work for him, because his body ends up looking longer than others of similar height who stand alone. Example, Jeremy Piven, who has a huge head and always looks short. leonari says on 22/Oct/07
Saw seacrest in his cameo appearence in Knocked up and he doesn't look short... I am as tall as he is but I have the feeling I would look shorter on screen... If he is truly below 5'8" than the man has amazing proportions giving him the ability to look a strong average height when standing by himself... myspace celebrity says on 17/Sep/07
i think this sounds much more accurate than the height i recently heard of (5'4) i think he looks this height next to jordin blake (i hear shes about 5'10) Bad Radio says on 18/Aug/07
i can relate to the 'siblings' part..i have four brothers who range from 6'1 to 6'5. I'm 5'11 and get the brunt of the "short jokes".Now they have insecurities about themselves too..i could be a jerk and point them out , but i know it'll just hurt them..and i can't do that...even though they are dicks to me. Sexxy Beast says on 14/Jul/07
He's said that he was 5-10, but he looked towered by 5-9 Rihana in an interview. Granted she was wearing heels, but there was more than a 3 inch height difference. sam says on 6/Jul/07
he's just a smidge shorter than average height celebrities like steve carell. I'd bet he's about 5'7 internet_hey says on 4/Jul/07
we make fun of Seacrest because of his persistant claims that he is 5'9" and of average height when he clearly isn't. Bad Radio says on 30/Jun/07
I think 5'6.5 to 5'7 for this guy.I still don't see why people pick on this guy.When you meet someone you don't immediately comment on their appearance...like hey you got a big nose, or your ugly or your short. Leung says on 25/Jun/07
yeah I saw Knocked Up too, Seacrest probably dreams that they could find a way to make him look that big on American Idol Jackie Treehorn says on 22/Jun/07
Saw Knocked Up...He does look so large there that I had to look this page up. I always thought he was smaller (an apparently is). Must be special camera work or some huge shoes. Leung says on 18/Jun/07
Rob, Im also curious how you came up with the 57.75?
Matched up against legit 57.75-58 guys, Ryan Seacrest will get beat every time for height. Like the majority of people here I see him as 57 max. Part_of_the_Solution says on 18/Jun/07
I also agree 5'7 really is MAX for Ryan too. Part_of_the_Solution says on 17/Jun/07

teri hatcher is listed as 5'6 on this site and others... Aaron says on 17/Jun/07
Robert. R, I watched the finale too, but I forgot to pay attention to seacrest's height (I was way too into the show to pay attention to his height), but if that's true what you said that will help put these 5'8/5'9 claims to a rest. To me, he has such a small frame and tiny head and even with his high heeled shoes and whatever he's packing in them, he still doesn't look very tall. Rob, 5'7.75"? There's no way he's just about the same height as you. You look way taller than him from all the photos I've seen, and that's with your normal footwear vs his lifts. 5'7 max in my opinion. derek says on 14/Jun/07
Has anyone seen his small part in the new movie "Knocked up"? He look to be atleast 5'11 and looks huge (height wise) probably due to huge lifts.... rg says on 29/May/07
Ryan is 5'5".. Jordin looks to be about 6 inches taller than that. anonymous says on 27/May/07
she is certainly not the 6`1 she claims. Laura says on 27/May/07
Isn't Jordin 5ft10? without heels, in which case with heels Ryan would be about 5ft7/8 Bman says on 27/May/07
Based opn American Idol..when he stood at side of Jordan..she towered above him..It would have made her about 6'3" which she isnt..so he is short 5'5" Leung says on 24/May/07
Everyone looks tall standing next to Seacrest. Even my Aunt who is only 5'5" would look taller than Seacrest when she wears her heels. Anonymous says on 24/May/07
"I'm 5'9" and people call me short" UMMM!!! WOW!!!
1) Ryan Seacrest is not 5'9 as he said nor he is 5'7 as listed.
2) Ryan Seacrest is short.
3) Ryan Seacrest is as short as Tom cruise, no offense to all you people. trueheight says on 24/May/07
wow, sanjaya looks like a shrimp next to Leno but he looks tall and limber next to seacrest AirSky says on 24/May/07
When I saw Sanjaya doing the Top Ten list on David Letterman, he looked about 5'10". I thought he was much taller. But I think it's because he's rake thin and has long limbs (apparently). Ryan Seacrest doesn't look over 5'8", I think the listing here is correct volpe says on 23/May/07
last night on american idol he was about 5 inches shorter than jordan (in heels) Leung says on 20/May/07
Actually the beard is an excellent ploy, it will draw attention to his face and people will focus less on his lack of height :) DB says on 17/May/07
not only is he short but conceided. hes not much to look at and the beard must go. Anonymous says on 17/May/07
Actually, I workled with Haley Scarnato at Six Flags and I am 5'8" and she is 5'8" flat footed! On Americna Idol, she was taller than Ryan (in heels)just about the same as she was taller than me, he is probably 5'8" too! MD says on 14/May/07
Actually, here is the video, and it appears my recollection was a little off. Sanjaya looks only as tall as 5'8.5" Donny Osmond (if not slightly shorter), and more around 3 inches shorter than Jay (who is probably in lifts):
Click Here
If this is the case, than Ryan may be as low as I originally predicted (5'6"-5'6.6") MD says on 14/May/07
Well, Sanjaya is 5'9" TOPS, so he could actually be an inch or so shorter. It really depends on how tall you think Jay Leno is. Sanjaya only seemed to come up to just a bit above his eyes, so it looked like 2"-2.5" difference, to me. Either way, this makes Ryan 5'7" at the very top of the scale. Viper says on 14/May/07
I thought Sanjaya was a short guy. Around 5-7 l.t says on 14/May/07

that's pretty funny, just the huge difference :] Leung says on 13/May/07
Good stuff MD and Paddington.
Heres my contribution,
Question: Why does Seacrest look 57 next to 59 Sanjaya?
Answer: Because Seacrest is 57 MD says on 12/May/07
Yes, Sanjaya isn't anything over 5'9", especially seeing him on the Tonight Show with 5'11" Jay Leno. It's funny how Ryan made him look tall when all he is is average height:
Click Here Paddington says on 12/May/07
Sanjaya claims 5'9", which is surprising because I thought he was about 5'11" compared to Seacrest. This makes me think Seacrest is 5'7" tops. Mark says on 10/May/07
If anyone watched American Idol when Jessica Alba stood next to Seacreast, she was at least a half a head taller than he was. If she is 5'6.25" as listed on this site, even with 3 inch heels she'd come in at less than 5'10". So either she's taller, was wearing enormous heels for some reason, or Seacreast is more in the 5'6" range. Rachel says on 10/May/07
My boyfriend is 5'5'' at most and I'm 5'9". People tease him about my height but he affectionately calls me is Amazon princess. Height isn't an issue with me. The shortest guy I ever dated was 5'2" and the tallest was 6'8". AJ says on 10/May/07
Wauw, this goes to show that size does matter......I am 5 ft 7.75 myself and am considered short but am just fine with my height. I met Ryan once and noticed we were just as tall....therefore, no doubt for me that Ryan is not 5,9. Urvashi says on 10/May/07
I don't thing height have anything to do with Ryan becasue Rayan is a smart nice looking guy. He is cute...........I am married and I am 5 feet tall my husband is 5.10 but he never care you need to look as a person not how they look. MKE says on 10/May/07
I'm 6 foot 3 and my husband is 5 foot 7, our kids are 6foot4,6foot1 and 5 foot 6
Does it really matter how tall a person is? What kind of person are they? Maybe that's why America has so many single people. Always looking for that perfect height weight looks, whatever. How about take interest in people for who they are, and not what they look like. Think of how many wonderful people you may have missed out on becaused you judged on looks alone? Victorian says on 9/May/07
I disagree with the heeled boots thing John Doe, in my opinion it shows that a man is insecure about his height and thus about himself.
Regarding the 'that's just the way it is' thing, don't you think that it's wrong for people to think that way? If everyone keeps thinking like that (including short people), it will stay like that, yeah. But just because everyone (or 'just' a majority) keeps thinking like that, doesn't mean that this type of mentality shouldn't change.
Oh yeah, I just used Rod Stewart because he's a lot shorter than his girlfriend. And she's still wearing heels on top of that notion, but apparently he isn't one of those guys who feels so insecure about the increased height difference that he 'forbids' her to wear high heels. Or OTOH one could also say that she's an openminded gal, who isn't afraid to tower over her boyfriend.
To me they are setting a good example to the rest of the world, but Hollywood isn't ready yet to follow suit. Nor is the majority of people in general (apparently), but such mentality changes always take a looooooooong while.
Everyone is entitled to their own preference though, but people should realize that there is more beyond your personal wishes. That can be great too, as long as you're open to it. The plus side of this is that you have a wider array of choices, downside of it is that society may look strange towards the relationship between you and your partner.
But if the main reason behind a relationship with someone is to look good to society instead of being with that one, it has no valid ground don't you agree?
Another thing to consider is that everyone says that 'people will look strange at me'. And with 'people' they mean everyone else. And if everyone keeps saying that the problem is everyone else, then it's obvious that we're our own problem. So we're the only ones who can change. And, with this way too long post I was trying to say that Seacrest could be one of those people, amongst others of course.
(Sorry 'bout the rant John Doe, kinda let myself go there.) :) Jon Doe says on 6/May/07
Ron Stewart aint even short though Victorian, and wearing heeled boots helps with first impressions, I mean c'mon if you were a short guy and went up to someone and just simply said "hello" they'd right then and there just start making fun of your height, that's just the way it is. |
