steven says on 14/Jan/12
he does look tall at peak 186-188cm. i wonder he shrink alot nowadays. now he look nothing over 6'0
maio says on 6/Jan/12
Peak: 6 ft 1.75 in/187 cm
Today: 6 ft 1 in/185 cm miko says on 31/Dec/11
I'd go with 6'1.5 in 2012.
He's 63 now so 1 inch of height loss is pretty much average. He ain't looking 6'2 anymore. Shaun says on 31/Dec/11
Anybody would think the guy was 5'11" or something saying "I'm a good height not short not tall". Happy New Year Rob and everyone here BTW!!! ANDREA[ITA] says on 30/Dec/11
Rob, just hearing him claiming that makes you think about 6'2! :) A 6'2 guy is actually not short, but he's tall! A legit 6'2 would never say "I'm not tall", already a 6' cannot say that in my opinion! Next to 6'7 Magic Johnson he looked a midget, no way only 12 cms! The same with 189-190 the Rock! Good reason to downgrade him! Even 6'1 would be a stretch in my opinion! James says on 29/Dec/11
rob the publication was the newspapser titled 'the Sunday times'
the article was published on the 17th december 2011
you have too pay a bit of money though too access the article online :(
perhaps you or another poster on this site could try and access the article rob if its possible? James says on 27/Dec/11
rob i heard somebody mention a few days ago that in a recent magazine interview samuel l jackson was talking about his height and that he said he was shorter than 6'2?
maybe u could do some research rob and try and find the magazine article?
[Editor Rob: if I can't or anybody can help on which publication it'd be good.] Maio says on 29/Nov/11
Samuel L.Jackson was 6 ft 2 in/188 cm during his youth but nowadays i think he lost a good 0,75-1 in...
I'd say 6 ft 1.25 in/186 today for Jackson! Silent d says on 11/Nov/11
189cm. Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 10/Nov/11
Still standing tall today at 6"2(188cm)...
Rob, would 190cm peak be a possibility?
[Editor Rob: there's going to be guys who say 6ft 3 and are not quite that mark, I believe jackson could be one of them.] Silent d says on 9/Nov/11
If you watch jackie brown he is a couple of inches taller than 185cm chris tucker and at least 16cm taller than 5 foot 8 de niro. He is tall. Unless he lost some height. I would say 189cm. I think he's taller than ashton kutcher. What do you think rob? I assume jon cryer and robert deniro are the same height. There is a bigger difference between de niro and jackson than kutcher and cryer. It is obvious. LAN Jiao says on 18/Oct/11
Peak height whatever. Uncle.Sam is 6'0 today. I given 6'0.5 which is fair enough. I can argue million times that he is 22-23cm shorter than NBA legend 6'9 grandpa Bill Russell. Those bummer think he is 6'2 , why not think in hollywood made 1.5" dress shoe yeh he is 6'2. LOL.... ANDREA[ITA] says on 14/Oct/11
The Rock is 189-190, sometimes i swear he even looks 188! 6ft3 in the morning, no more! And what about pics with Magic Jonhson? He's no more than 6ft7 and Samuel looks minimum 16 cms shorter! lorne says on 14/Oct/11
@ANDREA[ITA)
First off, he had MINIMUM 0.6in advantage, max 0.8in or so.So The Rock does have him by solid 1.25in, but no more than 1.5in.And I concede that Jackson is 187cm now, which makes the Rock 190-191cm.
Despite what you may think, Dwayne Johnson is indeed 6ft3. Now whether he is a legit 6ft3 in the evening, or if he wakes up over 6'3", but is 189-190cm by nightfall is debatable, but he does measure 6ft3. Personally I know 2 people who have met him, both are pretty height aware, and one says that he was a strong 6ft3 guy, the other swears he was MAX 190, probably 6ft2.25-6ft2.5
But the point is, no way Jackson is under 186cm today, and I say 187cm. Otherwise he has lost some serious height LOFL. ANDREA[ITA] says on 13/Oct/11
1 inch advantage is too much! he had max 0.6 advantage amd also at premiere he looked 2 inches shorter! He looked at least least least 16 cms shorter than 6'7 magic johnson! Again shoe disadvantage, right? lorne says on 12/Oct/11
ANDREA[ITA] says on 12/Sep/11
And he was also owned by 189-190 the rock! I think hes no more than 184 today!
Why do you people keep saying he was "owned" by The Rock. If you actually paid attention to footwear, you would see that Dwayne Johnson was wearing THICK BOOTS, like he always does in order to make his 6ft4 claims seem less outrageous. Meanwhile, Jackson had flat adidas type, which give, at the most, 0.6-0.7in over barefoot.
So yeah, "The Rock" was 2 inches or so taller, but only with a solid 1 inch footwear advantage.
Samuel L. is still 187cm range, and was 189cm at peak, so get over it, and start paying attention to footwear if your are going to comment on a site about height(better yet, just read the comments on the page, as this was explained months ago!!!) ANDREA[ITA] says on 4/Oct/11
If hes 187, the rock is at least 192! Impossible! The rock is more like 189-190, sometimes he looks even 188! James says on 3/Oct/11
he always did look at his peak a 'strong tall' type guy.
Today he is still just about standing 'strong tall' at 187cm. ANDREA[ITA] says on 3/Oct/11
Lan i agree with you! 6ft0.5 is fair for him! The rock i think that is a bit too low for him! Hes more like 6'2.5! Viper says on 2/Oct/11
Oh yeah, 6-1-6-2 isnt tall, LOL LAN Jiao says on 30/Sep/11
magic johnson is is roughly 2inch taller than 6'4.75 kobe bryant , magic 2m while magic was merely over 6" taller than samuel l jackson. so fair on giving samuel 6'0.5 , again i wana mention bill russell is 6'9 nowadays and the clip with samuel close up bill russell was easily over 8" taller than samuel. 184cm is generous enough.
samuel - 6'0.5
rock - 6'1.5
denzel - 5'11 (1.5" shorter than 6"0.5 chris pine) ANDREA[ITA] says on 29/Sep/11
Yep! I think Jackson is 6'1 today! 6'2 maybe at peak! He never appeared particularly tall! Viper says on 29/Sep/11
More like Sam Jackson - 6-0.5
Rock - 6-2
Denzel - 5-11 Eric says on 28/Sep/11
I saw Sam recently at the Met. 6'1 would be right. jake, 1.82 m says on 25/Sep/11
Jackson: 6ft 1.75in
Johnson: 6ft 3in
Washington: 6ft 0in James says on 22/Sep/11
Samuel L jackson 6'1.5 (187cm)
Rock Dwayne Johnson 6'3 (191cm)
Denzel Washington 5'11.5 (182cm) ANDREA[ITA] says on 20/Sep/11
No, ROB! I said 184-185 today! How do you explain he was 16 cms shorter than 6'7 magic johnson! And he was at least 5 cms shorter than 189-190 the rock! ANDREA[ITA] says on 19/Sep/11
186? He never appeared as a very tall man, like 188-189 is supposed to be! Just gimme a pic where he looks so tall! With liam neeson he maybe looks quite tall, like 186-187! So 186-187 peak 184-185 now is it possible, ROB?
[Editor Rob: 187 is possible today] LAN Jiao says on 19/Sep/11
i don think samuel l jackson lost more than 2cm today. probably just tip on 2cm he lost.
peak 186cm
now 184cm ANDREA[ITA] says on 12/Sep/11
And he was also owned by 189-190 the rock! I think hes no more than 184 today! ANDREA[ITA] says on 8/Sep/11
He looks 3-4 cms taller than Colin so he's probably 185-186 today! Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 7/Sep/11
'About'? as in just under or just over, Rob?
[Editor Rob: possibly a shade uner today] Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 6/Sep/11
Rob, how tall would you say Colin Montgomerie is?
[Editor Rob: about 6 foot] James says on 5/Sep/11
looks 6'2.5 if Colin is 185cm. ANDREA[ITA] says on 4/Sep/11
Hes no way near 187! Next to 190 the rock he looks 2 inches shorter! 185 max today! 188 at peak, maybe 189 1 second out of bed! James says on 3/Sep/11
Today Sam is 187cm ANDREA[ITA] says on 25/Aug/11
He also looks at least 16 cm shorter than 6'7 magic johnson! What you need to downgrade him, rob? Tall guy but today hes close to 184! ANDREA[ITA] says on 25/Aug/11
Next to Snoop Dogg he looks solid 12 cms shorter! Maybe Snoop is taller than 192, cause he made Jay-Z look a midget! As for Samuel, he never looked more than 188 in his career! Today he's more like 185! No more! This pic shows it (here he looks 5'11)! 188 at his peak! Rob in this site there are heights that are uncompatible like Tim Robbins (that make some celebs much shorter than their listed heights) or also Snoop Dogg (he makes Jay-Z look no more than 6ft). I'm asking how's that possible. And then there are some people that are underestimated like Tom Welling at only 189... -.- James says on 23/Aug/11
With 6'3 1/2 Snoop Dog.
Click Here Hansen says on 22/Aug/11
don bite me james..because what i knew nicholas Cage was never been 6ft im sured elevator shoe never leave his feet much. i remember someone pointed jim carrey was head to toe 6ft in real, my believe jim pass 6ft0.5 also about uncle samuel he is an awesome actor, but he was just 6ft1top now.etc James says on 18/Aug/11
still looked just about 189cm 10 years ago
with 184cm Nicholas Cage and 187cm Jim Carrey
Click Here big sam is 6'1 1/2. he's lost slightly more than average for his age already.
Hansen says on 18/Aug/11
i believe samuel was always in 6ft1 range. look 6ft a little slouch. by looking him near 5ft11 tommy lee jones he look dead on 6ft1. 6ft3 just an inflation. i watch a tv show recently of an nba legend 6ft9 bill russell interview by sam, both respective standing a close up pic shot uncle samuel look a big 8inch(abit more) under russell. maybe today he flucture 184/5cm. definitely 6ft1.5 during his prime. still consider a real tall actor. ;) Mohammed says on 13/Aug/11
Was a solid 6'2 peak James says on 11/Aug/11
had a hard time looking 6'2.5 with 184cm Harrison Ford in Patriot Games but then again Harrison had hair advantage. ANDREA[ITA] says on 31/Jul/11
189 at peak, 186 now! Tony says on 19/Jul/11
6'1, In the other guys, The Rock had 2 inches on him easy and the rock is 6'3, This height needs to be evaluated 6 ft 3 action hero says on 13/Jul/11
I seriously doubt if he hits 188cm, i'm 6ft3 myself and i think i would tower over him. Sully says on 4/Jul/11
How can you honestly use movies to gauge people heights and call it accurate?
There are way too many tricks to manipulate heights and Hollywood knows them all.
Casual pictures are the low end and barefoot pictures with other confirmed people's heights are the best. James says on 26/May/11
I agree with Demeyer 188-189cm was probably more accurate for his peak than a solid 189cm. In Patriot Games look no taller than a flat 6'2.
no way 190cm rampage in the morning yes but not in the afternoon. probably would have measured 188cm at night at his peak. Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 24/May/11
6"2.75(190cm) peak
6"2(188cm) today Legend says on 23/May/11
Whatever he was, he's no more than 6'1 now. dmeyer says on 22/May/11
rob this guy looks about 2 in on travolta peak and 2.5 to 3 in on willis so about 6 ft 2.25 and lately looks 6 ft 1.5 alot he is in good shape and shouldnt have shiped more than 0.5 in i think peak 6 ft 2 now 6 ft 1.5 Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 21/May/11
He was slightly taller than Bernie Mac who himself is also listed as 6"2.5(189cm)...
But he was more 188cm James says on 20/May/11
nearly identical in height to bernie mac in soul men Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 19/May/11
187cm he could be now...but he peaked at 190cm. Watch Pulp Fiction. He's clearly the tallest on screen Lenad is sexy says on 11/May/11
Probably a solid 189cm peak. Today scraping 188cm like 187.7cm dmeyer says on 6/May/11
the rock can look 2 in over him only while he wear adidas samba with a 0.7 0.8 in while the rock has a 1.5 in heels type i think 6 ft 2 peak 6 ft 1.5 now looking 6 ft 1 when in bad posture or small footwear Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 29/Apr/11
The guy who said 5"11.75 is visually impaired
he is 6"2 max today..but he was closer to 6"3 maybe 15 years ago Lenad is sexy says on 24/Apr/11
I reckon he might be a weak 6'2 today after lookin at more pics rich says on 21/Apr/11
wow some people are D U M dumb! so many people saw pulp fiction
and can see jackson is a little taller than travolta during the
whole movie. hello!!!! travolta is a proven 6'2''. do the math!
i feel stupid wasting my time here.
[Editor Rob: the same Travolta who said he was 6 foot or a 'little' over it.] Johan Cruyff says on 6/Apr/11
It's too much 6'2" today for Samuel L. Jackson. At his peak:
Morning (out of bed)= 6'2.25" (1.88,6 m)
After 1,5-3 hrs= 6'1.8" (1.87,6 m)
After 5-10 hrs= 6'1.45" (1.86,5 m)
Now he's around 6'1.25"-6'1.45" (1.86-1.86,5 m), no more! Anthony says on 3/Apr/11
Samuel L. Jackson is between 5'11.75" and 6 foot... Legend says on 31/Mar/11
He's 6'1 now at most. James says on 23/Mar/11
In Patriot Games looked a flat 6'2 Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 18/Mar/11
Looked 6"2 flat in Pulp Fiction bit didn't have the greatest posture going and also Travolta could have been wearing suspicious footwear....I still maintain he was 189-190cm at his peak James says on 14/Mar/11
looked 6'2.5 in 51 state EB says on 24/Feb/11
Hey Rob, in the Other Guys, Dwayne Johnson was about 2 to 3 inches taller than Sammy L right? That would make Samuel 6' - 6'1", or the Rock 6'4 - 6'5". I think I found the reason why there is such a big difference between the two in the movie.
Click Here
Check out the shoes. Johnson has big heeled boots, and Jackson has flat soled sneekers. So I reckon both their height are right. I also think that there is a max 1.5 inch difference between Hayden Christensen and Jackson in Star Wars and Jumper. So maybe Christensen is 1cm taller than you have him listed. James says on 20/Feb/11
Probably dropped down to 6'2 (188cm) at night at his peak Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 19/Feb/11
At peak he probably dropped down to 6"2.5(189cm) at night James says on 9/Feb/11
More of a 6'2 guy than a 6'3 guy at his peak Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 6/Feb/11
I think maybe 6"1.75 today might be reasonable for Jackson...I still maintain he was close to 6"3 in his youth James says on 2/Feb/11
i think he looked a flat 6'2 in Patriot Games Rikashiku says on 31/Jan/11
He's been looking shorter than 6'2" for a while now. His peak could have been 6'2.5" but he looks about 6'1.5" now especially in his latest films. In Star Wars 3|6 he is slightly taller than 6'1" uhh the guy who played Anikan. James says on 30/Jan/11
Fine then 6'1.5 (187cm) it is today NO MORE. I woulden't entirely rule out 186cm either for big Sam today either. Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 27/Jan/11
He said he used to be 6"2.5-6"3 but shrunk about an inch....it's about right for a 62 year old man
Okay James I think he might be 187cm range nowadays, but no less 5\'7.56 says on 23/Jan/11
The Rock looked 2" shorter than 6'3 The Rock. He must be 6'1.5 at most right now, Rob. Maybe due to his back surgeries. James says on 22/Jan/11
your forgetting how much his afro added to his height in pulp fiction?
He didn't look 6'2.5-6'3 to me in either in Patriot Games. More like 188cm on hte nose in comparison to 183cm or 184cm max harrison ford.
And your clearly ignoring pics of him with 6'4 Jeff Goldblum in the 90s?
Click Here
Click Here
I agree though bad posture with goldblum making him appear 6'1 and 6'2 stood up straight. 6'3 in shoes at his peak. Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 22/Jan/11
6"2.5-6"3 peak is on the ball
Today he's 6"2 flat heading towards 6"1.5 Gus says on 21/Jan/11
Time of Pulp fiction and before Id say 6"2.75 in the morning,6"2.25 in the day and 6"2 dead at night,in Pulp fiction his posture was badish generally,probably a 187/188cm posture,when he was capable of 189,if he was trying to get as tall as he could maybe 190cm,his posture in PF lets say was 187.5cm,while Travoltas was good,and was 184cm. Anonymous says on 21/Jan/11
He told me personally that he *used* to be 6'2.5-6'3 his exact words were "I used to be 6 2 and half, 6 3, but I've shrunk about an inch. That's what happens when you get old and sh*t" He has also had 2 back surgeries in the last 2 years. James says on 18/Jan/11
a good chance he was 6'2 (188cm) peak. Lenad is sexy says on 15/Jan/11
I'd say 189cm max peak. Looked 6'2-ish to me. Now more 6'1 range Legend says on 6/Jan/11
he's barely over 6 feet now, maybe 186 James says on 30/Dec/10
By the time he is 65 he will be 185cm more like. Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 21/Dec/10
By the time he's 65 he'll 187cm...
I still maintain he was a weak 6"3 man back in the day...watch Jackie Brown James says on 13/Dec/10
In pics with Goldblum from the 90's looks 6'1.5 at times. CaptainSpaulding says on 11/Dec/10
He dont look even 6'2" next to 6'3" The Rock in The Other Guys. He looks 6'1" or 6'1.25". James says on 8/Dec/10
In Patriot Games did not look 6'3 or 6'2.75. He looked 188cm to me in that in film or 189cm at best. So Possibly 6'2.25 in 1992.
Maybe in his 30's on his absolute best could have been 6'2.5. Ruben says on 4/Dec/10
lol at posting heights in his prime LMAO!
Like it was the best time of his life hahahaha Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 3/Dec/10
I still think 6"2.75(190cm) in his prime James says on 29/Nov/10
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 26/Nov/10
In Patriot Games, Harris looked at least an inch than Harrison Ford who was possibly still a little over 6"0 at that time?
I seriously doubt harris was over 6'1 by the time of patriot games. harrison ford i think potentially may have not been over 6'0 in that film.
here is what i think
samuel l jackson 6'2
Harrison Ford 6'0
richard harris 6'0.75 Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 26/Nov/10
In Patriot Games, Harris looked at least an inch than Harrison Ford who was possibly still a little over 6"0 at that time? James says on 23/Nov/10
I think even 6'2.5 is suspect for his peak height. Looked maybe 1 inch taller than 6'1 Richard Harris in Patriot Games. Was Harris even as high as 6'1 in that film? Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 21/Nov/10
We have different opinions James. You think Samuel L. Jackson is nearer 6"1 today, I think he's still 6"2. James says on 20/Nov/10
Rampage(-_-_)Clover says on 19/Nov/10
6"2.75(190cm) peak
6"2(188cm) now
He's probably not over 6"2 today except out of bed. 188cm for his peak is too low.
GEEZ hugh the guy was 188-189cm at his peak. 190cm in the morning in his prime.
6'2.25 (189cm) peak
6'1.25 (186cm) today Rampage(-_-_)Clover says on 19/Nov/10
6"2.75(190cm) peak
6"2(188cm) now
He's probably not over 6"2 today except out of bed. 188cm for his peak is too low. James says on 11/Nov/10
If you look at Samuel L Jackson with 6ft Harrison Ford in Patriot Games you will see that 6'3 for him was clearly exzaggerated. If anything looked 188cm in comparison to Ford but 189cm is possible for his peak as well. Basicly he did not appear over 6'2. James says on 10/Nov/10
NO WAY Hugh he's defenintly looking under 6'2 nowadays looking at him 6'2-6'3 Rock Dwayne Johnson.
Peak 188-189cm. Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 10/Nov/10
He's 6"2 to 6"2.5 currently.
15-20 years ago he was 6"2.5 to 6"3. HollywoodFan says on 9/Nov/10
When Robert Downey Jr. announced/introduced the actors who are co-starring in "The Avengers", the cast (including SLJ) were all pretty much lined up. Chris Hemsworth (listed at 6'3"), appeared to significantly tower over every actor in attendance including Samuel L.Jackson, who seemed to be around the same height as Chris Evans (listed at around 6 feet tall); Very interesting indeed. This makes one have to question the validity of the heights of hollywood's celebs once again. James says on 30/Oct/10
Rampage remember how Snipes looked 1 inch shoert than 177cm Woody Harrelson Rampage(\\-_-_-/)Clover says on 27/Oct/10
Saw Jungle Fever which was made in 1991, so Jackson would have been 43 years old. He looked a good 5 inches taller than 5"9 Wesley Snipes who I think maybe be a little taller like 176cm. James says on 26/Oct/10
Yeah Travolta is 6ft and I though Sam looked a legit 6'2 with him. Newt says on 23/Oct/10
He didn't look 190 cm next to Travolta, he looked 188. After a long consideration I would pin him down to 6'2 (1.88) peak, which he looked in Star wars/Pulp fiction. |
