Hugh 191cm says on 18/Nov/09
6 ft 2.25 in (189cm) currently
Hugh 191cm says on 15/Nov/09
I'd say 6ft2.25 now Hugh 191cm says on 30/Oct/09
Pretty sure hes still a solid 6ft2 Hugh 191cm says on 28/Oct/09
6ft3 in Black Snake Moan Hugh 191cm says on 12/Oct/09
Jackson was taller than bernie Mac. Rika says on 8/Oct/09
ON Soul Men, both looked about the same height. In some shots Bernie mac looked taller but only by half an inch. In other shots Jackson looked an inch taller.
I'd say Jackson was the taller of the two. Hugh 191cm says on 26/Sep/09
Near 6ft3 in his prime. Hugh 191cm says on 22/Sep/09
I buy 190cm peak. Today 188cm minimum. Lenad says on 22/Sep/09
For a younger Sam I can buy 187cm at the lowest Rob G says on 18/Sep/09
6'2.5" peak, 6'1.5" now TELLEM says on 11/Sep/09
sam jackson isn't 6'2 these days, more like 6'1: Click Here
notice how 6'3 dwayne johnson is 2 inches over jackson? Tall Guy says on 9/Sep/09
Bernie Mac appears to be at least an inch taller than Sam in Soul Men, so one of these two men is not 6'2.5" Original says on 7/Sep/09
6'2.5 Peak.
6'1.75" actually, maybe a 6'2'. alexiel says on 3/Sep/09
strong 185cm,maybe weak 186 derek d says on 1/Sep/09
TELLEM says on 16/Dec/08
james, there 1 inch apart...watch at :17 seconds Click Here
That part when Harvey Carteil is done helping them and leaves with the girl, is is not good for judging height. Travolta has the pavement advantage next to Jackson, also Harvey looks taller than Travolta, the pavement is all over the place in that scene. MOF says on 28/Aug/09
Since when is Patrick Wilson 6'1"? He's actually in the 5'11" range... Rusty says on 19/Aug/09
Looked a solid 6'3" standing next to 6'1" Patrick Wilson in Lakeview Terrace. heightcritique says on 19/Aug/09
In the last scene of the dinner in Pulp Fiction, when Jackson and Travolta are leaving they stand next to each other which shows clearly that Jackson is maybe .5" to 1" taller than Travolta, thus Jackson is probably 6'1" if Travolta is 6".5" Karl Karlsen says on 19/Aug/09
In pulp fiction he was 2 inches taller than Travolta. I think he is still 6'2 and in pulp fiction he was 6'2.5 (peak).
The height displayed is 100% correctly in my eyes. dude says on 17/Aug/09
i'd say he's always been a lean 6'2 making him look taller Hugh 191cm says on 8/Aug/09
He looked a bit taller than richard roundtree so maybe a weak 6ft3. mel says on 6/Aug/09
I just seen shaft and when peoples was getting his mug shot, sam walked in the shot the it said he was 6'5" or 6'6" according to the measuring thing on the wall Hugh 191cm says on 3/Aug/09
Peak 190cm. Today 188-189cm. In other words weak 6ft3 peak, strong 6ft2 now. Danny says on 28/Jul/09
Ahleks... I just watched Pulp Fiction moments ago and at times he did look an inch or more taller than Travolta. Hard to be certain in films though, angles etc. I'd say Sam is 6ft 2 and Travolta is 6ft flat to be honest. Ahleks says on 27/Jul/09
He didn't look one full inch taller than Travolta in Pulp Fiction. If Travolta is 6', then Jackson is listed a bit higher than he should be. Austrian says on 3/Jul/09
hes a big guy, id buy 190 or more for him
by the way last week i saw his shoe imprints in front of that chinese theater in Hollywood, and he must have huge feet too :)
the only other imprints i saw that were comparable in size, were the ones of Steven Seagal Lenad says on 27/Jun/09
i assume Hugh thinks 189cm min and 191cm max? Lenad says on 25/Jun/09
In Jackie Brown he looked a solid 6ft3 like 191-192cm. Not that I think he was that tall though Rika says on 15/Jun/09
I always saw 6'2. But now he's starting to look shorter. He isn't a solid guy so that would be the reason. Lenad says on 15/Jun/09
187cm min 189cm max peak 186cm min 188cm max today. I actually going to put 60 dollars on a weak 6ft2 and 40 dollars on a strong 6ft1 today. 60 dollars on strong 6ft2 peak 40 dollars on weak 6ft2 peak. Lenad says on 14/Jun/09
6ft3 seemed believable when watching Jackie Brown Hugh 190cm says on 12/Jun/09
Did look a solid 6ft3 in Jackie Brown. I would've said 6ft3-6ft4!
I did see around 6ft3 next to Robert Carlyle in that other movie. Hugh 190cm says on 8/Jun/09
Yeah 2 inches over Chris Tucker. I'd say 6ft2.75 peak and 6ft2.25. now. 186-187cm is bit low. Lenad says on 5/Jun/09
Deep Blue Sea 186-187cm, Snakes on a plane 187-188cm, Pulp fiction 187-188cm, Coach Carter 188-189cm Lenad says on 3/Jun/09
I see a weak 6ft2 man in snakes on a plan (awesome movie!) Lenad says on 27/May/09
60 dollars on a strong 6ft1 today and 40 dollars on a weak 6ft2. He's still pretty tall at 186-187cm name says on 25/May/09
you hvae him mixed up with Samueo Jackson that playe for the Eagles. He is 5'10". Samuel Jackson the actor is 6'2". Hugh 190cm says on 16/May/09
I don't think he's shorter than Cusack. If anything he may even have a slight edge on him. Hugh 190cm says on 16/May/09
I'd say today he's 190cm out of bed. Reason being is because in my opinion the human body really only shrinks 0.5 inches during the day. 6ft2.25 now and 6ft2.75 peak or maybe just maybe 191cm. I used to think he was 6ft4. He looked massive in Jackie Brown. Yousuf 6'1" says on 15/May/09
If anybody watched the 1st XXX, something looked freakishly wrong and bad. When Vin Diesel was walking next to him there was almost 5-4 inches! He towered over Vin! Lenad says on 12/May/09
He has looked 6ft1ish and 6ft2ish Lenad says on 9/May/09
Next to John Cusack he looked like a solid 6ft1. Standing next to many others though he has looked like a solid 6ft2 Hugh 190cm says on 9/May/09
Anything nder 6ft2 is complete nonsense. I'd say 6ft3 peak and 189cm now. Lenad says on 3/May/09
He could look a strong 6'2 at peak sometimes. Hell he can still at times! Lenad says on 20/Apr/09
At peak Samuel l Jackson was most likely 187-188cm. He's pretty tall but not quite 6'3. Jon 181cm says on 12/Apr/09
i met him waay back. solid 6ft 3in he was back then. towered over everyone. stil looks pretty tall today. i wudnt rule out 6ft 2in, even at his age. Jon 181cm says on 12/Apr/09

Hugh 190cm says on 11/Apr/09
TELLEM Travolta was really close to Jacksons height aswell I'm suprised you don't think Jackson is 5ft10.
WOW. 5'10? you can't tell height if it slapped u in the face. u throw upgraded heights like confetti. travolta could have been wearing big footwear next to jackson. Hugh 190cm says on 11/Apr/09
TELLEM Travolta was really close to Jacksons height aswell I'm suprised you don't think Jackson is 5ft10. TELLEM says on 10/Apr/09
Hugh 190cm says on 9/Apr/09
Maybe Travolta was genuinely close to 6ft2!
you just love boosting ppl's heights don't you? Hugh 190cm says on 9/Apr/09
Maybe Travolta was genuinely close to 6ft2! Hugh 190cm says on 9/Apr/09
I think Jackson is still at least 6ft2 and possibly 6ft3 peak. Lenad says on 8/Apr/09
I'm starting to think 187-188cm at peak. He's not looking over 6'2 now but not under 6'1. Probably a strong 6ft1 today like 186cm. Hugh 190cm says on 1/Apr/09
6ft2.5 now. and 6ft3 in his prime. He was way taller than Laurence Fishbourne in Do the Right thing. Anonymous says on 26/Mar/09
You never know Travolta might have been standing on something in that scene. TELLEM says on 24/Mar/09
this pic of travolta and jackson makes me question jackson's 6'2-6'2.5 peak height: Click Here TELLEM says on 20/Mar/09
heres the scene of chris tucker and jackson: Click Here and heres travolta and jackson: Click Here Lenad says on 9/Mar/09
Anything under 6ft1 is BS. At least today anyway. Lenad says on 6/Mar/09
You know the more I think about it the more I think 187cm at peak might be a bit more realistic for Sam! Lenad says on 5/Mar/09
When you look at him today, 188cm at peak looks closer. Danimal says on 3/Mar/09
Wasn't he 6'3.5" at his peak? He looks to be 6'1.5"-6'2" nowadays. Max says on 2/Mar/09
Are you kidding me? Kareem Abdul Jabar is a whole foot taller than Samuel Jackson. Sam only comes up to his collar-bone Lenad says on 2/Mar/09
He appears to be more 6ft1ish around John Cusack. Lenad says on 28/Feb/09
He appeared to be more 6ft1ish around John Cusack in 1408. \-_-_-(Hugh)-_-_-/ says on 23/Feb/09
6ft3 peak. mcfan says on 4/Feb/09
How can Samuel L. Jackson be 6'2 when John Cusack is an inch taller than him?
Click Here (not a good photo, but he was clearly an inch taller in 1408 during the whole movie)
I think Cusack is 6'2.5 and Samuel L. Jackson is 6'1.5. jordan says on 29/Jan/09
sam was about an 0.5 to an inch shorter then steve nash who had been officially listed at 6'1 without shoes so u have to take in consideration that hes lost a lot of height Lenad says on 26/Jan/09
6'3 in shoes I think. I think he could have been a strong 187cm but no less. Rusty says on 24/Jan/09
6'3" may be stretching it for him, but he does look a strong 6'2" to me. aram x says on 23/Jan/09
yoyo. why can't Kareem's head be 11 inches? he's 7,2" so that's possible. Hugh says on 9/Jan/09
6ft3 at peak is possible. I used to think he 6ft4 before I discovered this site. yoyo says on 3/Jan/09
come on.. kareem is 217cm .. Samuel is 187cm nowadays thats a 30cm gap. Kareem head length can't be 11inch, but a 10.5inch could be. His def a head plus an inch over Samuel.. anonymous says on 1/Jan/09
Weak 6 foot 3. runt says on 26/Dec/08
Here with Kareem Abdul Jabar, if sam stands up straight he might graze Kareem's chin (but maybe not). Assuming Kareem has an 11" head, I'd say sam is 6-2ish if he can't quite reach the chin.
Click Here Lenad says on 23/Dec/08
187 today and 188 peak. TELLEM says on 23/Dec/08
make that 6'2 peak TELLEM says on 23/Dec/08
i say 6'2-6'2.5 peak Hugh says on 21/Dec/08
Sam was possibly 6ft3 at his peak. Aaron says on 20/Dec/08
Lawerence fidhburn is about 6ft and there a scene in School Daze Where him and Sam Jackson are standing toe to toe and Sam was Considerbly taller. TELLEM says on 18/Dec/08
thats correct james, i mean he was only in his forties during pulp fiction TELLEM says on 17/Dec/08
john travolta at 6'0 feet...watch get shorty...hes an inch shorter than 6'1 james gandolfini TELLEM says on 16/Dec/08
james, there 1 inch apart...watch at :17 seconds Click Here TELLEM says on 13/Dec/08
6'3 peak? so travolta was 6'2 peak? watch pulp fiction...those heights arent quite right Anonymous says on 12/Dec/08
he was only 2-3 inches taller than meat loaf (5'10) in Formula 51, Meat was wearing slippers and he was wearing boots. so, either he's shorter than 6'2 or meat loaf is taller than 5'10 Lenad says on 12/Dec/08
I just saw Loaded Weapon 1 and he looked no more than a flat 6ft1 in that movie and it was 1993! Does this guy ever wear lifts? I can swear he has looked a strong 6ft2 or a bit more in the past! Hugh says on 11/Dec/08
6ft2.25 now and 6ft2.75 or even 6ft3 at his peak. Lenad says on 9/Dec/08
Maybe 187cm at least today and 188cm at least at peak. However he does sometimes give a 6'1 impression. Hugh says on 25/Nov/08
I wouldn't rule out 6ft3. Lenad says on 15/Nov/08
I'd say in his youth a solid 188cm if not a bit more. Im skeptical of ever being a proper 6'3 guy. Hugh says on 11/Nov/08
Samuel has a pretty imposing presence which give the illusion of him being 6ft3+ guy. He's solidly built, walks like a 6ft3-4 man and has a deep commanding voice which may also add. And he doesn't strike as a guy who wears lifts. Lenad says on 5/Nov/08
He can give a 6'1 impression at times I will admit that. Anonymous says on 3/Nov/08
seems a good 3 inches on Meatloaf who is nearing 6 foot Hugh says on 24/Oct/08
I'd say he is. But only by a couple of centimetres. In the film Cusack looked a little taller in somes scenes though. hmmmm. Hugh says on 21/Oct/08
Perhaps what James? Hugh says on 17/Oct/08
He was taller than John Cusack at the premier of 1408. Hugh says on 14/Oct/08
5ft6-7 is short in my book. Hugh says on 10/Oct/08
Robert Carlyle is short as hell though. Hugh says on 7/Oct/08
Samuel L. Jackon has the build of a 6ft4 guy. But he's really 6ft2 or at the very most 6ft3. There is also a fair chance that he's still a little over 6ft2. 6ft3 at his peak is a possibility. Big T says on 3/Oct/08
How come, as of right now, he is hardly any taller than his 5'10" golfing partner Michael Campbell? Big T says on 3/Oct/08
How come, as of right now, he is hardly any taller than his 5'10" golfing partner Michael Campbell? Lenad says on 28/Sep/08
A minimum of 6'1.5 in his youth. He's pretty tall but not quite 6'3. Hugh says on 22/Sep/08
Big Sam is a minimum of 188cm. Lenad says on 15/Sep/08
I have always estimated 6'2 for the guy. Hugh says on 10/Sep/08
More 6ft2 now. 6ft2.75 should be his peak. Anonymous says on 11/Aug/08
This listing is definately accurate. Samuel L Jackson's distinctly taller than average but not exceedingly tall. derek d. says on 28/Jul/08
I just watched the ending scene in pulp fiction and I don't know why everyone thinks travolta is taller as they walk out of the diner. Jackson easily has at least 2 inches on him in every angle they walk out. Danimal says on 15/Jul/08
Seems to be significantly shorter than the 6'3 1/4" black captain who always shouts in 1993's National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1. Sam was only 43-44 in 1993. He's 59 today. I wonder what he is down to today? MAX 6'1" imo. Al says on 1/Jul/08
If Travolta is 6 feet, I'd say Jackson is no more than 6'2. In Pulp fiction he doesn't look any more than two inches taller than Travolta. Zerstoren says on 1/Jul/08
He looks extremely tall in the black snake moan and he was beending down during most of the movie Lenad says on 23/Jun/08
Thought he was around 6'2 when I watched Deep Blue Sea the other day. BlackRay says on 6/Jun/08
Viper, your always the most acurrate of all the people that estimate heights on this website, like I've stated before Sam Jackson is about 185-186cm in height no more. I saw his waxwork at Madame Tussauds in London to prove this. Hugh says on 4/Jun/08
I saw Jackson from a few feet. I'm 190cm and he's about 188-189cm today. 191cm peak. Hugh says on 30/May/08
Jackson appeared 192ish next to Richard Roundtree in Shaft. BlackRay says on 24/May/08
He has no reason to wear lifts he's a tall man. glenn says on 22/May/08
samuel wouldnt wear lifts,but men over 6ft do indeed.its rare,but they do. Davey says on 22/May/08
nicole,why would a 6'2 guy wear lifts? some people really are crazy. Melo- A.K.A carmelo anthony says on 26/Mar/08
he is about 6'3.5 at peak when he was 24 years old but ive seen him about a few weeks back and he was about 6'2.5 mabey a lil shorter or taller i can't base a height with a person thats 6 inchs shorter than me Hugh says on 22/Mar/08
A full 6ft3 at his peak and 6ft2.25 now. But I Travolta is over 6ft. He appeared only an inch shorter than him in Pulp and back then Jackson was definately 6ft3. Jay says on 6/Mar/08
In Shaft when he arrests "peoples" for having the concealed weapon the first time he briefly stands infront of the mugshot ruler and it says 6'7 HAH Vegas says on 6/Feb/08

I'd say 6'4-5 brother_h says on 8/Dec/07
Flex Alexander was never taller than jackson on snakes on a plane. Alexander was 2 inches shorter. than jackson.
and alot of other sites are listing jackson as 6'1 now. even in movies.
actually travolta was nearly an inch shorter, just watched pulp fiction now.
christopher lee is 6'5, he may have shrunk, or should have since hes over 80.
his peak height might have been 6'7. the shortest he'll be would be 6'2. JohnP says on 26/Nov/07
My grandmother who is 77 has also lost 3 inches in height. She is now about 5-4, but my mother says she was 5-7 at her peak. runt says on 8/Nov/07
Doesn't move as smoothly as your average 6-1 guy. He moves like a 6-3+ In Snakes on a Plane he looked 1" or less shorter than Flex Alexander who is listed at 6-4. dmeyer says on 31/Oct/07
he seemed 1 cm smaller than cusak so 187 strong for him like 6'1.75 and peak 6'2.25 Danimal says on 30/Oct/07
shorty says on 10/Sep/07
I wrote this over a year ago and I can't believe this discussion is still going on.
So Shorty, when you say something, that's when the debate is over? Interesting. So, when you speak, we ALL have to believe it and end it there. Here comes the GAVEL! Danimal says on 30/Oct/07
Sorry, but an 80 year old Christopher Lee is not 6'5" anylonger....haha. My 83 year old grandmother has officially lost 3" in height. guest3090 says on 25/Oct/07
he seem to be 6'2 1/2- 6'3 not just 6'2 where the half inch go .Try watching pulp fiction travolta look 2 1/2 inch short brother_h says on 16/Oct/07
jackson looks 6'2 to me, it was hard to tell wen he was face to face with christopher lee on starwars, looking at it jackson wasnt much shorter than 6'5 lee. shorty says on 10/Sep/07
I wrote this over a year ago and I can't believe this discussion is still going on.
"anon says on 4/May/06
he is 6'1.5 - 6'2". I'm 5'2 and my hair is usually about mid arm / mid bicep.
I have not noticed him to have lost height in the years I've known him."
I have 6 brothers all over 6 feet so I'm pretty good at judging the height of men. But seriously people. I've seen him 4-5 times a year for the past 7 years and I'm still 5"2' and I still come right below his shoulder. I asked his wife in August and she told me "about 6'2" His stats were somewhere on the morehouse university site because he was a cheerleader and they listed him as 6'2". He has *never* been 6'4. That's morgan freeman.
I think his height gets a little distorted because he always wears Kanglo hats and they puff up at the top.
This guy"6''11 guy says on 25/Aug/07
i have meet samuel not to long ago and he was 6'4-6'5 and my freind
roger mason,jr standed right next to him and and sam was about the same height

Must have some confusion. I promise you that Sam is not 6'4 or 6'5. Alex says on 5/Sep/07
He never looked 6'3 to me. 6'1-6'2 is my guess. Rut says on 27/Aug/07
Referring to an old comment of mine (last year)I meant he (Jackson) looked about two inches taller (at North Sea Jazz)than me when I saw him.. vtec says on 26/Aug/07

he is definitely 6'3 in 'Pulp Fiction' when he is standing near John Travolta dmeyer says on 17/Jul/07
travolta and willis looks very close to his height sometimes even sayng lifts i think sam is no more than 6'2 even at peak runt says on 22/May/07
In Die Hard with a vengeanc, Bruce Willis who is well known to be a phoney 6-1, Jackson looks taller in most scenes. sam 2 says on 13/May/07
Sammual L. is 6'2". Check him out in Patriot Games with Harrison Ford. Maybe an inch taller. He is 2" taller than Travolta, who is almost 6' 5'11 guy says on 17/Apr/07
Jackson has never struck me as a 6'3 guy. More 6'1.5. Vaqas says on 17/Apr/07
Vaqas Khan from sheffield stands at 6'2 Arjun says on 13/Apr/07
Viper, Bonds is a tall fellow, no doubt. He definitely looks 6'1" in that golf course pic. He has INCHES on every single one of those guys. A legit 6'1" is still pretty tall even today. Not toweringly tall, but legitimately tall.
Cheers,
Arjun AAAA says on 2/Apr/07
Yeah... I know. I am usually pretty accurate and consistent, but i was way off with him. I think the bulk is deceving as well, It can make you look shorter from afaras withdth takes away from length, but when you have really big trapezieus like barry, it makes you seem taller in person because you have deceptively high shoulder peaks. Whatever the case i agree with you he is a 6'1 guy. I just never saw it till you showed me. anonymous says on 30/Mar/07
david morse does appear shorter at times. AAAA says on 29/Mar/07
I was watching the Negotiator and he only seemed max 2 inches shorter than David Morse....I think we can all agree morse is a LEGIT 6'4 guy. SO I believe he is 6'2 maybe a bit more. But those Bonds pics are strange. I never pegged bonds as anything more than 5'11, especially early in his career. I thought the 6'1-6'2 listings I saw were total bull, but he sure must be 6'1 in those Jackson pis Maybe HGH does help adults Snapper G says on 24/Feb/07
Looked about Letterman's height tonite - about 6-1.5 or so. G-unit says on 10/Feb/07
he looks somewhere between 6'2-6'3. dmeyer says on 3/Feb/07
maybe sam was a 6'3 morning and now 6'2.5 morning so 6'2 for him Heightcritique says on 3/Feb/07
In the scence where both are exiting the diner (Pulp Fiction), both are side by side and wearing sandals (no camera tricks) and Travolta is a bit taller than Jackson. If Travolta is 6'.5" barefoot, than Jackson is a 6' barefoot. Ade says on 2/Feb/07
In Pulp Fiction Travolta is always a little closer to the camera.
No way is Travolta 6'2". Anonymous says on 28/Jan/07
In this pic he looks the same height as John Travolta
Click Here Anonymous says on 6/Jan/07
Viper: Yes, I saw the pictures of Jackson with Bonds and I think that because of his age, he has lost height which is normal. Jackson is probably close to 6' and with the right footwear, he can increase his height to 6'2". dmeyer says on 28/Dec/06
it make sens 6'2 because bruce willis and travolta dont look that short near him anonymous says on 26/Dec/06
Saw him in LA and he is 6'1". I am close to 6' and he was a bit taller than me. If you see the scene in Pulp Fiction where Jackson and Travolta (6'1/2") are leaving the diner, you will notice that Jackson is even shorter than Travolta. There is no camera trick and both were wearing sandals so the comparison in my book is very accurate. Jackson is 6'1" with shoes, and probably 6'1/4" without shoes. Ed says on 22/Dec/06
Viper, do you think Christensen is under 6ft, if you think Jackson is 6ft1. Ed says on 21/Dec/06
I'll be the first one to admit when I'm wrong, and I thought Christensen and Jackson were the same height in Sith, and after a recent viewing they're not. Jackson is a good inch taller maybe more. Christensen looked at times about 2 to 3 inches taller than McGregor(5ft9.5). If Christensen was between 5ft11.5 and 6ft0.5 to Mcgregor's(5ft9.5), Jackson was definitley 6ft1.5 possibly 6ft2.
Now I thought Christenen was wearing lifts, and I know he was in the Vader costume, but as for his Jedi boots, I doubt it considering the amount of running and jumping him and McGregor had to do. They were probably an inch at most. Ed says on 3/Dec/06
Christensen was shorter than Jackson in Attack of the Clones, by close to 2in. By the time Revenge of the Sith rolled around, Lucas obviously decided it was time to call in the Jedi lifts, because he is the exact same height as Jackson(see the seen of them walking together near the end of the film). Christensen needed to look even bigger for the transition to Vader,hence the weightlifting to bulk him up and some height lift. Based on the movies, and the premiere photos I think Jackson is still standing tall but around the 6ft1.5 range(6ft2 maybe a little more years back), and Christensen is just about 6ft. In the pic from Unbreakable below, I haven't seen the movie in a while, but I remember Jacksons character wearing boots with big cowboy boot heels. sleuth says on 2/Dec/06
Sam's got 2" on Hayden Christiansen in the Star Wars Films. I'd say a good 6'3" unless Christiansen is not 6'1" Ed says on 15/Nov/06
Cantstop25, the guy is a an odd one, and I'm not kidding, the story is true! Ed says on 8/Nov/06
If Christopher Lee has been downgraded to 6ft3 these days, then Samuel L needs a downgrade as well. He needs to be 6ft1, maybe a hair more. Look at the pics of Jackson and Lee, only a few years ago and Lee has him by at least 2 inches. sam says on 9/Oct/06
In Changing Lanes, he was certainly at least an inch taller than William Hurt, who has always seemed his listed height of 6'2". Joey says on 3/Sep/06
In "The man", he is 6'1", look at the computer. dmeyer says on 25/Aug/06
he looks in the 188-90 range similar height with ben affleck kerry77 says on 18/Aug/06
his old nowadys.. might be shrunk an inches.. i did gave him mildly 6ft3(1.9m) at best of his 30s.. nowadys he looks more like a 6ft1max(1.87m).. Rut says on 16/Jul/06
Saw him (I think)at North sea Jazz in Rotterdam, looked about two inches shorther than mine 183-184, so this would be a good guess I say... Charles says on 22/Jun/06
im confused becuase on the back of the pulp fiction collectors edition video case Bruce Willis stands atleast 2 inches bigger than Jackson, and about 4 inches taller than John Travolta, yet is considerered only 6', the smallest of the 3!!! Anonymous says on 30/May/06
could have lost height, my fathers the same age as jackson and has lost an inch in height.
[Editor Rob: I'm starting to think this might be likely, well 1cm anyway] Ball-A-Hallic says on 14/May/06
Probally a solid 6'2 maybe 6'1.5 but i think 6'2 is more right. anon says on 4/May/06
he is 6'1.5 - 6'2". I'm 5'2 and my hair is usually about mid arm / mid bicep.
I have not noticed him to have lost height in the years I've known him. Ed says on 25/Apr/06
If you look under the Christopher Lee page there are two photos of Jackson, Lee, Lucas, and Christensen, now I haven't met any of them but by the looks of these pictures Jackson looks 6ft1 at best. If he's still 6ft2, making him 6ft3 plus with those dress shoes he's wearing than Lee is 6ft6 plus in his shoes, and general consensus on Lee is that he's now barely pushing 6ft4 in his 80's. I think Jackson is smaller than 6ft2 these days. sam says on 24/Apr/06
I noticed that for most of Pulp Fiction, Jackson doesn't look much taller than John Travolta, but when they are barefoot (and getting blood cleaned off) the height difference is more pronounced. Travolta probably wears large-heeled shoes. Anshelm says on 19/Mar/06
Shaft is on TV, and Sam's looking not quite 2 inches taller than Christian Bale. If Bale's 183 cm, I'd put Sam at 187 cm. Based on this single movie scene, that is. sam says on 12/Feb/06
here is proof that Mr"6 foot 1.5, 16 and still growing" wrote his name here but this time he was "175cm16andgrowing" thats around 5'8 so how many 16 year olds are there who grow about 5.5 inches in a couple of weeks to a month.
http://www.celebheights.com/s/Will-Smith-100.html
what lier.
and maybe i'm wrong and who knows it was someone else but what are the chances of someone else having the same type of screening name unless it's a common name but how many people think of writing their height, age, and still growing as their name. i just hate fakers who think their bigger then what they really are. sam says on 12/Feb/06
I swear Mr"6 foot 1.5, still growing" was like Mr"5 foot 6,7 or 8, still growing" like a week ago. I say this cause i've seen another person or this person post comments about other celeb heights under the "5foot 6, 16, still growing" or something like that. so how can you grow like 6-7.5 inches in a week. also in the beginning of this celebheight he posted "6 foot 1, 16, still growing" so he grew .5 inch just recently. and then when tubbs said he come across guys who are 6'1 but really 5'11 mr 6 foot whatever, thought it was towards him like he has something to hide. and why are you writing your height, that your 16 and still growing like your trying to brag or something. if you ask me i think Mr"6 foot whatever" is lying and isn't even close to 6 feet. what a loser. Mario says on 4/Feb/06
Dogg is at least 6 foot 4, and he could be taller than that!
Samuel really isn't shorter than 188/189 cm nowedays. 6 foot 1.5, 16, still growing says on 2/Feb/06
Samuel Jackson's height is in no way 6 foot 2.5 inches. If he's 2 inches shorter than snoop dogg, then isn't he 6 foot 1??? 6 foot 1.5, 16, still growing says on 2/Feb/06
sorry to break it to you brett, but I've been suffering from alignment (subluxation) issues where my disks have been misaligned and compressed. So it was very easy for me to lose at least 1.5 to 2 inches throughout a rough day. now, with my back better, i'm only shrink about 2.5 inches Mario says on 29/Jan/06
Hey ed, Samuel was an inch shorter than Christopher Lee (around 6 ft 4 nowedays) In Attack of the Clones, so it's more likely that Hayden did wear lifts. I agree with the most here that he is around 6 ft 2, but in the past Samuel was for 6 ft 3. Some seems to forget that the man is almost in his 60s and that a bad posture can make someone look shorter!
Ed says on 29/Jan/06
I know he wore lifts as Vader, but I didn't think he wore them as Anakin, at least not such severe ones to give him a 3 inch height boost. In ROTS there's a scene where he walks with Jimmy Smitts' character, and Jimmy Smitts towers over him. He's 6ft3, apparent same height as Jackson, so what gives? Did Hayden only where lifts in scenes with Samuel L? Or is Samuel L shorter, more like 6ft1 to 6ft1.5. On HAyden's website there are premiere photos for ROTS, and big group shots and closeups of all the stars. There is one of Samuel L and Hayden together, and there is not much of a difference between the two, maybe an inch. It is a clear cut shot, no one is leaning to much, both are standing up straight, wearing basic dress shoes. So, if you say he is 6ft, that would put Samuel L at my estimates. brett says on 29/Jan/06
Ed, Christiansen wore huge lift boots in that movie, that isnt a fair comparison, as Ive said on other pages, my encounter with Hayden put him barely at 6'0" even, so comparing him to Jackson in that movie is not accurate.
Mr " 6 foot 1.5, still growing" you realise it is not possible to shrink 5 or more cm during the course of a day. I go from just over 186cm in the morning to 185 and a half at night, so unless you live on another planet where gravity is stronger 9.8m/s/s I think that is impossible Ed says on 23/Jan/06
I was never skeptical of Samuel Jackson's height until recently, due to Revenge of the Sith. Samuel Jackson and Hayden Christensen looked nearly identical on screen, and that made me wonder if he was really 6ft3 or 6ft2 for that matter. I never saw Christensen as anything over 6ft barefoot, maybe more like 5ft11. I realize I also haven't taken into account that Samuel Jackson is pushing 60, and he definitely could have lost an inch. My buddy met him in LA at the Staple Center, and said he was a little taller than himself, and he is 6ft1.5 with shoes. So maybe he was a legit 6ft2.5 in his younger days, but is now hovering around 6ft1.5. In A LONG KISS GOODNIGHT, he looked a good inch and half or two taller than the 6ft Geena Davis, and thats about 10 years old. 6 foot 1.5, 16, still growing says on 22/Jan/06
I don't know about the 5 eleven mark for myself, because in the morning I'm pretty much 187 centimeters, but definitely in the night I've sometimes shrunk to 5 eleven and a half, 6 foot, but my back problems are probably making me shrink even more. Tubbs says on 22/Jan/06
I've come across a lot of guys who claim to be 6'1, but you can obviously see they are hovering around the 5'11 mark, they are normally pretty self assured, and think that by boosting there height by a couple inches, they seem more manly, but as Ed says, sometimes when people are adament about a specific height, you feel bad, or just dont have the heart to point out that there not as tall as they think they are. Samuel L has always looked atleast 6'2". Ed says on 19/Jan/06
I swear to God this kid was absolutely serious in his perceived stature. He is no more than what I said 6ft2.5 to 6ft3 with shoes, and he was telling me stories about his amazing basketball skills, dunking on guys, and a whole bunch of other crap! I flat out asked him how tall he was, and 6ft6 was his stonefaced response. That's why I told you I couldn't call him out, cause I felt bad. Mario says on 19/Jan/06
A 6 ft 2 guy who says that he is 6 ft 6 is joking.
Samuel is probably 6 ft 2 today, we have seen him in tin sneakers en there is no way that he is under that mark. If you watch some of his older movie's as Jurassic Park, Coming to America etc... you will see that he was 190/ 191 cm. Jason says on 19/Jan/06
An ex-boss of mine once claimed to be 6'7'' when he was really 6'3 1/2''.
I agree that Jackson is only a solid 6'1'' minus shoes. Ed says on 18/Jan/06
I agree, a lot of people have a bizarre perception of their own height. I know a guy who is 6ft2.5 maybe 6ft3 with shoes on, and he told me is was 6ft6. Now, I know most guys round up to the next inch mark, if their 5ft10 3/4, they'll say 5ft11. Understandable, but a 3 inch difference is just out of control. I didn't have the heart to call the guy out, he seemed so proud of his imaginary stature. So, Sam Jackson is probably 6ft1 in his bare feet, and 6ft2 in shoes. That sounds about right. 6 foot 1, 16, still growing says on 17/Jan/06
From what I've seen from photos, it seems like jackson is about 2 inches shorter than snoop dogg, who is 6 foot 3 after I saw in a video with him and the usc football team, whose heights are very EXACT. Samuel L. Jackson is 6 foot 1, and travolta is 6 foot. People ALWAYS boost up their height not because they are lying, but because they really don't know what their heights are. I believe that Samuel Jackson THOUGHT he was 6 foot 3, because ALL THE OTHER celebrities are unsure about their height too. For example, snoop is 6 foot 3, but says he's 6 foot 5. jackson prolly thinks snoop is 6 foot 5 when he gets next to him, so he subconciously thinks he's about 6 foot 3 because he's about 2 inches shorter than snoop. it's all in the mind, it's all in the mind. I have a friend who plays basketball and he tought he was 6 foot 1 and he thought i was 6 foot 3 and a half!!!! i thought i was 6 foot 3 and a half for a while and I felt like a GIANT because i thought he was correct! But I have a history classmate who claims to be 6 foot 2.5 and he was clearly at least an inch taller than me. Turns out the team did a height check and my friend turned out only to be 5 foot 10. Makes me 6 and a half in the afternoon and 6 foot 1 in the morning. So it's all in the mind. I'm pretty sure many commenters on this site don't know about their real heights because they're too afraid to check it, they just wanna believe in something that's not true. Knowing the truth is the best thing.
6 foot 1, 16, still growing says on 17/Jan/06
I'd like to believe that samuel jackson is 6 foot 2.5 inches, because his role as coach carter really blew me away. But check out this pic with him and 5 foot 11 50 cent. (50 cent is 5 foot 11 for sure). They are THE EXACT SAME HEIGHT.
http://music.yahoo.com/ar-294445-photos--50-Cent
If you go to the site and go to the bottom of the page with all the pictures, click on the picture on the bottom on the left. It shows 50 cent and jackson eye level. either 50 cent wore 3 inch lifts, or he was on his tippy toes.
Ed says on 12/Jan/06
In Pulp Fiction he does look about the same size as John Travolta, 6ft 1, maybe a little taller. In Swat he looked shorter than LL Cool J, who is listed as 6ft 2. He appeared the same size as Ben Affleck in Changing Lanes, another 6ft2, supposively 6ft3. Lastly in Revenge of the Sith, he appeared exactly the same height as the 6ft1 Hayden Christensen. I don't know what to think. Either he wears lifts, or some of these actors are lying. Tubbs says on 9/Dec/05
It also says he's 11st4, he aint been that since school me thinks, not sure why it says that in it, is there one for Travolta? jello says on 9/Dec/05
What do you say about the Jules Winfield driving licence? Why 5ft11?

i have to say big sam does look 189 190 cm in movies but compare to willis he looks at best 4 to 5 cm taller kenneth sohz says on 19/Nov/05
watch back the long kiss goodnight while he was standing next to 183 geena davis,he look more like 188.. in his other movie he look even same no big diffrentz.. =rod says on 17/Nov/05
thats cuz snoop is taller than "6,4" hes "6,5" cuz im a for sure "6,5" and i seen him in real life .. and sam is in between "6,2.5" and "6,3.5" trust me i seen snoop b for jello says on 11/Nov/05
He looks tall but not that tall. I think that he's 6ft1. I watched Pulp Fiction yesterday and he's the same height like Travolta. holla says on 4/Nov/05
if you watch jackie brown, when he is talkin to chris tucker he apears an inch and a half taller than 6ft 1 tucker while jackson is wearing boots, so i would say jackson is no taller than 6ft 2 Heightcritic says on 5/Aug/05
In the last scene of pulp fiction, when he is exiting the dinner with Travolta, he is shorter than Travolta, and Travolta is listed to be 6'1". My guess is that Jackson uses special made shoes to make him taller, like many Hollywood actors. |
