Editor Rob
His Father in his prime likely was taller, his Mother looks like she's lost a couple of inches at that stage.

@dreus23

I remember reading an older comment a while back that in some photos for certain people that Steve Carell can look anywhere from 5’7”-5’10” in photos with certain people. I would say from most evidence I’ve seen on this page, 5’9” is definitely a good call for Steve Carell during his prime (though, 5’8 3/4” wouldn’t be a surprise more nowadays since he’s in his 60s now).

In the Dylan Minette photo, Steve Carell looks either 5’8” or 5’8 1/2” there, but in the Timothiee Chalamet photos, Steve Carell can look either 5’9” or even 5’9 1/2” there. However, I don’t disagree that next to Ryan Gosling he looked even as tall as 5’10”.

I think in the 40-Year-Old Virgin cast, Steve Carell was pretty much the same height as Paul Rudd and Romany Malco (possibly edging both of them out, especially Romany Malco of those two). Only Seth Robin was taller than Steve Carell (by 2 inches) and the other guys in that movie. In The Big Short, Steve Carell looked roughly the same height as (or possibly slightly taller than) all of the major characters in there, except for Ryan Gosling.

Now, in The Office, I think it was mainly Rainn Wilson and John Krasinski who were the really tall ones of the main characters. Some other more minor characters were rather tall too. I would still classify Ed Helms as upper average more so than tall, but I agree that The Office was fascinating in trying to hire a very tall male cast, overall. If they wanted Michael Scott to be a “short, moronic” character, they should’ve hired an actor much shorter than either Steve Carell, BJ Novak, or Oscar Nunez.

Even more proof that Carell is a solid 5'9 and that it isn't ridiculous to say that 176 is likelier than 174:

With 5'7.5 Dylan Minette:

With strong 5'10 Timothee Chalamet:

Btw, Carell has less footwear than Chalamet in both pics

I find it interesting how they hired a bunch of tall actors on the office with the sole purpose of making Carell look like a "short moron", despite never appearing short in pretty much anything else, ever. If I didn't refuse to be offended by that, I would probably say that I find that offensive

@Jay Andrews

Generally the musclier you are, the shorter you look so that doesn't make sense as a statement

5'8.5 is too low for Steve. He's at least 5'8.75.
Jay Andrews said on 19/Jul/22
I think he’s a solid 5ft8 1/2. Maybe if he was more muscular he’d come across as 5 9.

Way to towered by Stanley in the office. Who definitely isn’t short.
Tys da 5'11 said on 18/Jun/22
Hey rob do you think the office utilized unflattering camera angles intentionally with Steve cause he looks 5'9 every other time besides the office (most the time)
Editor Rob
I remember thinking he could seem weak 5ft 9 in the Office, maybe with some of the tall guys on the show it emphasised the difference and made him seem a bit shorter.
dreus23 said on 10/Jun/22
Steve is definitely a solid 5'9, but I'm pretty sure he appears shorter because he is paired with tall co-stars like in The Office. Also, not to be rude, but he doesn't a body shape that flatters his height (it doesn't make him look taller).

Tall Sam said on 19/May/22
He usually has a slight edge on Paul Rudd. I saw Rudd in person and would ballpark him at a weak 5’9” more like 5’8.75”, I would say that would make Carell look an even 5’9” indeed.
Darksol64 said on 18/May/22
Solid 5'9 easy. Just look at the pics. On the second one in particular she should be right at 5'11 total height with the 3.5" heels. He's probably got a 1 inch shoe on and she's MAX 1 inch taller if not less.
Nenad said on 18/May/22
Just seen pawn stars. Steve was there and said himself he's 5-8"
Editor Rob
Well he said "Everybody thinks I'm Five Eight" in response to the Pawn guy thinking he was shorter.
Realist said on 2/May/22
Jamie Foxx is taller than Jennifer Garner or same height as here in big heels so that would mean he's 5'10.5 or whatever with his shoes on. Her head is smaller but she has an inch on him here with 3.5 heels so he's barely 5'8/5'8.5 on this picture. I would give him 5'8 even.
Rowan182.5cm said on 26/Dec/21
I've always seen him as more 5'8 than 5'9 looks on the shorter side of average like 5'8.25-5'8.75
Okidoki said on 28/Nov/21
@Rob Would you say there is a better chance of him being 176 cm than 174-174.5? I think he gives of a solid 5'9 impression, just by looking at his proportions. I don't agree with 174 range as some posters think here, he looks like a guy for his age who is just about the average height for that age group.

He never looks more than 176 cm though, in my opinion. Aside from his height, he is a very funny guy, i really enjoy his movies, heheh. Almost always laugh when watching them.
toddd0461 said on 14/Oct/21
He looks slightly under 5'9. Looks more like 5'8.5-5'8.75.
Sonnecker said on 10/Oct/21
Weak 5'9" in the afternoon for Steve, maybe 5'8"+3/4, similar to John Boyega and Jason Statham...
MaskDeMasque 5'9.5 said on 31/Jul/21
5'8.75 for Steve.
varun said on 30/Jul/21
Hey rob, do you think there’s a chance that Steve is 175cm out of bed but throughout the day he’s 173-174cm at best?
Editor Rob
a chance of just under 5ft 9 but I doubt he falls to 173-4 range
Nik Ashton said on 16/Jul/21
@ Yash Nebhwani - There is a lot I agree with you about there, how tall are you? The average guess of 5’8.66” could be spot on!
Yash Nebhwani said on 15/Jul/21
I think he is 5'8.5". Also he looks perfect. I think that is the best height one should have.

They definitely filmed him from time to time to accentuate his inferior height to the many tall costars in the Office.
JD said on 25/Mar/21
I got a 5'6-5'7 impression of him on The Office, but if it's just being in with a lot of tall guys, so be it. I might buy 5'8. I've never, ever seen him look 5'10. That's a big stretch from someone you think might look 5'6 at times.

Tys da 5'10 7/8 said on 18/Feb/21
I just can't see him as 5'9 not even because of his proportions but because iv seen him next to 5'10 co stars who don't have great posture that look more than an inch taller, I'm gonna have to give him 5'8 1/2 as I can't see him as being the same height as Tom Hardy or Jared Leto. Needs a downgrade Rob!
Magnus 6'4" said on 1/Feb/21
Not as small as most people think. Possible 5’9 peak but I’d say 5’8 3/4 presently
Ndomingu said on 22/Dec/20
@SF

Yeah, I agree that Carell height can be hard to pin point. If you ask me he looks 5’8” most of the time since on camera with people in the office he looks very similarly to how I would probably compare with people that much taller than me in the 6 ft+ range. However, every time I hear people talk about him next to Gosling he all of a sudden looks at least 5’9” or even 5’10”. Camera angles can sometimes influence how some actors may look next to each other I think. It’s something we often forget. I would say he’s probably around 5’8”, but he could actually be 5’9” for all we know too. I just wouldn’t say that he’s anymore than 5’9” in reality.
sf said on 20/Dec/20
hanoder's post and pic from March 0f 2018 has me convinced. It's probably the best comparison you can get - Jenna Fischer is barefoot. Carell might be 3 inches taller next to her in shoes.. 5'8", 5'7.5".. He is not close to 5'9".
MrFish said on 29/Sep/20
Rob, would you say that it’s possible that Carell fell an eighth or quarter inch below 5ft 9 during his time on the Office?
Editor Rob
Sometimes he's looked a weak 5ft 9...in the Office though I felt he generally pulled off about that 5ft 9 mark.
Nik Ashton said on 16/Sep/20
He doesn’t look 5’10” that’s for sure!
Mike O said on 8/Sep/20
I'm guessing a solid 5'8" flat footed without shoes, maybe a shade over. He sometimes gives the impression of greater height because of his broad, solid Italian frame. I bet he's surprisingly strong and athletic.

Carell gets a flat 5’9” from me. In The Morning Show, Carell seems to be able to pull off 5’9” next to Billy Crudup and Mark Duplass, the latter of whom I have at around 5’11”.

Guys there's no way Carell is below 5'9. Ryan Gosling is a solid 6'0 and only looks 3 inches taller max next to Carell - heck in Crazy Stupid Love sometimes he only looked 2 inches taller.

I'd say 5.8 or 5.9 max!
Ndomingu said on 5/Sep/19
@Chk23
Yeah, the wider build can throw people off. I’m sort of similar to Steve myself at that weak 5’9” range (used a standard measuring tape) with a wider than average build. Sometimes it can get mistaken for 1-2 inches less than it really is and even when measured on some beam devices. It’s not always easy to get the most accurate result, you just got to experiment with it a bit and average it somehow based on the instruments you use. Though strangely I’ve been guessed to be like 5’10” by some people before. The only reason I think that’s happening is some people probably are adding inches to themselves and then applying it everywhere. I have one time measured around 5’10” in a pair of sneakers I wear, so unless shoe height claims have become a norm to some people out there, but I certainly don’t do that.
Chk23 said on 1/Sep/19
Holy crap 5’9? I seriously thought he was 5’8 and claimed it. I guess it’s his build. I’m 5’9.5 by the afternoon barefoot (I claim 5’10 cause it’s my prerogative) and I’ve had people mistake me for 5’7. Not even kidding. So it’s hard to put much faith in perceived heights. I wouldn’t doubt a picture of me on this site would get an average vote of 5’5 or 5’6

5ft9.
Peter175 said on 16/Aug/19
He's very wide and has a long torso. Large skull too.

Looks a lot shorter than he is, sometimes looks 5'7.5, but I think he's around 5'9" maybe slightly less, though not lower than 5'8.5 for sure.
Elroy said on 14/Aug/19
The photo here shows he obviously wears lifts. 5’7.5” tops.
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 7/Aug/19
1/4 shorter than Jamie Foxx. Carell 5'8 7/8 (175cm) and Foxx 175.6cm.
khaled taban said on 11/Jul/19
He give the 5'8" impression.
This guy is no more than 5'8.5".
Ndomingu said on 8/Jul/19
Hey, Rob. Do you have an Oscar Nunuez page? On the office he tends to look a tad shorter than Steve Carell, maybe 5’8” range, but online he’s listed at 5’9”. Unless Steve wore lifts or higher shoes than Oscar on the office and they’re really roughly similar height. Oscar compares similarly better to Steve than Novak does I think. I remember Nunez was the third office guy who was on the shorter side of the male cast members other than Carell and Novak. Even though I think Carell was more a weak 5’9” range while Novak and Nunez looked more like a strong 5’8” range in comparison to him. Maybe Oscar could edge out Novak by a little bit.
Editor Rob
Around 5ft 8 for oscar seems likelier than 5ft 9, since as you say he looked a bit shorter than steve.
Heyrob said on 18/May/19
Hey rob. I'm 175.5 cm. Am I taller than Carell or is there like no difference. What do you think?
Editor Rob
You might look roughly similar, but there may be more chance of Steve a tad shy of 5ft 9 than a tad over I felt.
Rising174cm said on 13/Feb/19
I had thought he might have been a solid 5'9"/176 cm range guy who had dropped into the weaker 5'9" range due to his hip replacement about 5 years ago, but judging by a 44-46 year Steve Carell with a 72-74 year old Alan Arkin(listed 5'9.5" peak and 5'8" current), it appears Carell was never more than 5'9" flat either way and he never looked taller than that proportionately, imo. With Arkin in 2008: Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here and 2007: Click Here Click Here It's reasonable to assume Arkin was somewhere in the 174-175 range during this time and it's not clear from these events whether Carell was taller.
Ndomingu said on 23/Jan/19
Yeah, Steve definitely seems to give off a 5’8” or 5’9” impression at times, but it depends on who he casts with. I’ve noticed he gets cast with tall actors often like in the office tv show, the big short movie, and even now the recent one that just came out, Vice. He did a great job acting as Donald Rumsfeld in that movie! On the office, Steve Carell looks to be around the same height as B.J. Novak and Oscar Nunez roughly, but I’m not sure which one of those three actors is the tallest or shortest one since their footwear advantage may vary on that show.
Duffer 5ft 11 said on 8/Jan/19
This guys a HOOT..!! Always cracks me up, same age as yours truly, so he may have lost a cm now (perhaps?) - 5'9" in the AM upon awakening and stretched right out is entirely possible, possibly a smidge under that in the PM. Most of the 'Office' dudes are strong 6-footers, so it's hardly surprising that Steve would give the impression of being shorter than he actually is. True average height/weight bloke.
Monkey knees said on 28/Nov/18
5ft 8 3/4in morning height is spot on.
TheBat said on 23/Nov/18
@BirdsOfWar

The only other average height male actor with a major role I remember in The Office was B.J. Novak who's also 5'9'. But yeah the series had some tall actors like Rainn Wilson at 6'1", John Krasinski at 6'2", Ed Helms at 6'0", and Will Farrell at 6'3".
BirdsOfWar said on 19/Nov/18
5'8.5-5'9" seems perfect. I think people have a short impression of him mainly because they don't realize how MASSIVE the cast of The Office is, nearly every single male through the history of the show is well over 6'0", probably one of the taller sitcom casts in history.
TheBat said on 8/Nov/18
Yeah 5'9" is correct. I've always seen Steve Carell as a 5'9" to 5'9.5" guy.
Mike5 said on 29/Sep/18
I used to think he was like 5’8 or maybe a hair under, but 5’9 seems accurate, no more than that tho

He looked at least 4.5 inches shorter than Rainn Wilson on The Office.
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 7/Jun/18
I would not go over 175cm. I think Carell is slightly under 5'9 like 5'8 7/8 (175) and Paul Rudd look at least 1cm shorter than Carell.
lee168cm said on 21/Apr/18
He edged out Paul Rudd in the 40 year old virgin
Baba said on 26/Mar/18
I actually think he is 5’9. The perception of him is of such a jerk in the office you want to think less of him. Also, he’s often next to some pretty tall actors (especially for Hollywood standards). If there was a noticeablely short male actor in the office it would be easier to tell his height. Everyone thought Napoleon was tiny too...next to his 6’4 guards.

Rob, can sometimes a girl and guy stand next to each other and look the same height, but there's a one inch difference?
Editor Rob
Yes, it happens, especially if people are taking in an overall picture.

It's similar in a way to Perceptual Illusions.
Interval said on 14/Jan/18
Rob I'm really confused. A while back I showed you these pics of Cameron Diaz and Steve Carell.

Click Here

You said that Diaz might be close to 2 inches taller and was wearing shoes that give her almost 4 inches. But when I watched this even live, my family was commenting on how Diaz looked like a giant and Carell looked real short. Nobody would guess that he is actually a little taller than her.

There's pictures where I find a girl is 2 inches taller than you in heels or not, and sometimes it doesn't look like a big difference. But with Cameron Diaz and Steve, it looks like an enormous difference.

Is it because her head is smaller and she's slender?
Editor Rob
Sometimes people think 2 is 3 inch or others think 3 is 2...and as we know, proportions like head size or just angles of the shot/photos can change things too.

@ bob Yeah, he did imply that he was taller than 5'8". Or at least claim he was over 5'8". Interestingly Rick seemed genuinely surprised that Steve wasn't that much shorter than him. I think 5'9" could be right he could be just under that. He looked an inch to an inch and a half shorter than Rick Harrison in that show who I've seen listed at 5'10" and 5'11".

berta said on 29/Mar/17
He could be 5'9" flat in the morning. I don't think he's really short but he can give off a short appearance at times. Mainly because the people he gets cast with are often tall.
KYO said on 28/Mar/17
He's a bit below 5'9" IMO, maybe a bit above 5'8.5" though. Also @Ian Click Here Just curious but at what point in that video did Steve look taller than Rick? I think 1:49 in that video is probably the best point to judge height. Giving that Carell is leaning slightly I would say Rick is a little over an inch taller than him. I'd say Rick is a bit over 5'10" based on that video, assuming equal footwear.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 25/Mar/17
I wouldn't label 5ft9 short at all
Cameron said on 24/Mar/17
Weak 5'9" seems about right for Steve. Rick Harrison is probably 5'9.5" to 5'10" No way he's 6 feet. In fact I'd go as far as to say that video proves Rick Harrison isn't 6 feet, although I can't take much else away from it.

Ian, I think it's interesting, that rick seems surprised at Steve's height in that video. Makes me think one of two things, either A He wears lifts or B Steve is one of the few guys who actually looks shorter than he really is. I think I saw Rick Harrison's height listed as 5'10" somewhere although I can't remember where I saw that. It's hard to make anything out of that video as it is taken at an odd angle and neither of them seem to be standing up straight.

This one is interesting, I'm a huge Pawn Stars fan and have always been curious about Rick Harrison's height. In this clip Click Here It seems like Steve might edge him out slightly but it's tough to say because you don't see them standing next to each other at any point.
MaskDeMasque said on 7/Feb/17
I've been rewatching The Office and think he's around 174cm. Looks about 5 inches shorter than 6'1.5 Rainn.
maxxyellia said on 30/Dec/16
Looks roughly the same as confirmed 5'7er Kiera Knightley wearing 1inch converse sneakers in the film "seeking a friend for the end of the world". Can't imagine him much taller than 5'8.
Dan said on 19/Dec/16
Don't see him hitting 5'9" even in the morning....
josh jeffords said on 21/Oct/16
Pretty short looked under 5 8 next to rainn wilson also in photo with bale and gosling.
Has looked around 5 9 in shoes but not barefoot.
He looked about 5 8 in get smart against 6 2 ish rock.
In photo below he is a good bit taller than mark ruffalo who is short but i figured at least 5 7.
He is not taller than a weak 5 8 .5 I can use myself to compare and I compare better than him to 6ft and above.
Arch Stanton said on 26/Sep/16
Mmm, about an inch shorter than 5'9.5 Kinnear in LMS.
mande2013 said on 23/Sep/16
He's not under 5'9. Just see him in Foxcatcher next to Mark Ruffalo.
Arch Stanton said on 5/Sep/16
@Rob, I mean look at Styles Click Here His neck and look in that first photo you'd think 6'4-6'5 LOL. Those must be really short women/ he's wearing monster boots. He's definitely the tallest looking 176 guy I've ever seen!
Arch Stanton said on 2/Sep/16
Baggy clothing, those Bieber type low hung rapper type jeans and baggy sweaters/hoodies/oversized t shirts tend to make people look shorter I think. Skinny jeans and tight t shirts on the contrary can make somebody look taller, Harry Styles is another example of a guy who is just 5'9 and a bit but can look tallish with the jeans and boots.
Editor Rob
Styles certainly can pull off looking more than 5ft 9, I wouldn't say a 5ft 9.5 argument for him wasn't believable...physically certainly gives a taller appearance than Steve does.
Arch Stanton said on 31/Aug/16
5'9 range can be a funny sort of height. Why is it a guy like Gary Lineker can look tallish yet guys like Carell and Justin Thereoux look on the shorter side? It's also weird how a 5'9.5-75 woman can look very tall and a 5'9-5'9.5 guy can sometimes give a short impression.Obviously it's bang on average height for a guy and not short, but you understand what I mean about it being a range which can give different impressions depending on build, personality and look?
Editor Rob
I've certainly seen some 5ft 9 guys who have the proportions of someone smaller, and I seen a 5ft 11 guy the other day who from a distance looked like 5ft 8-9, but it was probably the clothing that didn't help his look and a long beard.
Arch Stanton said on 30/Aug/16
Mmm he can look it though when stood his best, he did look a bit taller than Malco. Oddly he can look barely 5'8 at times though!
Arch Stanton said on 30/Aug/16
Rob are you sure on 5 ft 9?? I'd never have guessed him at that with Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen in the 40 year old Virgin, more 5 ft 8 range. He was noticeably shorter than Rudd.
Lynx said on 30/Jul/16
On 40 year old virgin he looks shorter than Paul Rudd, who should be his same height if he really is 5'9.
James said on 18/Jul/16
Shortest 5ft9 dude I've ever seen! LOL
c-mo said on 2/Jun/16
I doubt it . here he looks 172cm or so

Click Here

compare him to Christian Bale and Ryan Gosling on the pic . I am 5'9.5 and I dont look like this next to guys who are around 6'0 and I am almost eye to eye with my friend who I measured 5'11.25 ....there should be less differcence between carell and them if he is really 5'9. granted he stands a little loose there and is sidewards but still

OR maybe Christian bale and Gosling are both taller than listed
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 26/Mar/16
Didn't think a strong 5ft9 was impossible
James C said on 29/Feb/16
Rob, would you say he is more just about 5'9" or an strong 5'9"
Editor Rob
I wouldn't have gone with strong 5ft 9, but typically I think he looks about that mark
BT said on 22/Jan/16
I'm not saying this listing needs changing, but I'd say Carell is nearer 5'8.75 than 5'9.25.
Pitch_Fork said on 9/Jan/16
PoliA, i think it's because of his proportions.
His legs are really rather short.
So he looks like a 5'7'' guy though may appear as tall as 5'9'' in comparison to other actors
PoliA said on 5/Jan/16
Is he that tall? Then I don't get why he gets so many short-jokes, when he is in the same range as:
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Jamie Foxx
Tom Hardy
Jared Leto
Patrick Dempsey
Matt Leblanc

None of whom are known as being short at all

Forgot to add, next too a lot of inaminate objects in movies where Rudd and carell eyes match where my eyes would be.
James C said on 1/Dec/15
In an stand alone picture and the right footwear he can seem taller then 5'9 but when he is with taller guys and other people he is definitely 5'9 or just bout 5'9 not 5'8 3/4 but could be an 1/8 under or over. I'm 5'9, and with guys that are 6'2 6'3 like Will Ferrell and that John karnoski guy I pretty much look the same as he does with them, though I'm more similar with Paul Rudd possibly or in between carell and Rudd like I think carell can edge me out an little bit and Rudd I can edge an little out or be exactly similar too Rudd. I think this is spot on.
The Dutch Guy said on 24/Nov/15
5'9'' is insane. He only has good posture. 5'8'' is his height.

Can't believe he's as tall as 5'9". He always came across as a tiny guy to me. 5'9" is average.

Hah hah Rob, you know those pics of Diaz and Carell make her look towering, don't you think? But you said only near 2 inches taller. When my mom saw them on tv (in that photo)announcing the awards, she said that Steve looked really short and that Cameron looked like a giant.
Editor Rob
maybe even a few inches can turn a switch in a brain to think it is a lot more...
J.Lee said on 27/Apr/15
Rob, how much taller does Cameron Diaz look than Steve Carell in this photo? Keep in mind, that Carell is also wearing shoes that are more than 1 inch. It looks like Cameron Diaz is towering him.

Editor Rob
from the few photos I just looked at, maybe near 2 inches taller. If he has nearly 1 inch shoe, then hers should be giving almost 4 inches for the barefoot heights to match up.
Nick said on 25/Apr/15
I honestly think he is taller than 5'9 flat
Maybe doesn't stand the claimed 5'10 but 5'9.5 or 5'9.75 ( 176 / 177 cm ) would be perfect.
JB said on 9/Apr/15
People claiming he's 5'7" or 5'8" are insane. He's clearing a strong 5'9" if not taller.

cole said on 18/Mar/15
@MD: A bit cynical that, but yes, I know. I was just trying to share some positive thoughts for once. He quite probably knows full well he's 5'9 and not 5'10. When a celeb is claiming 1 inch over their actual height, I'd like to think sometimes it could be they measured a fraction shy of what they tell us they are - rounded up and that's the whole story. Or at least that's what the optimist in me tells me, in reality they might all be liars. We may never know, as one would have to be able to read minds (or somehow get to personally measure/witness the measurement of a celeb). Of course you have your 5'9 celebs who know they are nothing over 5'9 and still claim 5'10, and when they claim 5'11 it's all blatant lies and they should be hanged.
Josh said on 5/Mar/15
He might be a fraction more than this. Maybe 5'9.5. Can look near 5'10.
lelman said on 16/Feb/15

Looks 5ft9.5-10 here, and it even looks like Channing has a footwear advantage.

@cole, or, you know, maybe he just added an inch or two to his height like most guys do.
cole said on 19/Jan/15
@Editor Rob: Maybe he measured 5'9.75 in the morning once, rounded up to 5'10 and didn't think much of it?

Rob, would you bet your life that Carell is not the 5ft10 he claims?

I'd never bet my life on any man's height...well, a guy called big G. I'd bet my life he wasn't 5ft 8 barefoot, even if put on a stretching rack for a week...

Carell doesn't look a legit 5ft 10 although at times you could say he could pass for 5ft 9.5

I can only maybe see around 5'9 in the morning, otherwise I bet he drops to 5'8.5 in the evening. That is just what I think he is. He looks like a guy who's a good 5'8-5'9. Most easily a strong 5'8 but I'd put him below 5'9 if we're talking night time height. I don't wholly disagree, since it is close enough and as well he is probably 5'9 when he wakes up which would make this listing somewhat accurate.
Len said on 16/Jun/13
Carrell is 5'8" tops. Always looks a little short, seemed no taller than 5'6' or 5'7" Keira Knightley in Seeking a Friend For the End of the World.

Give her a slight edge in footwear, and boom, there you go. Carrell has never looked even average height.

When I look at pictures of Steve Carell and his wife, Nancy, I see that Steve and Nancy with her high heels are equal in height. Steve is definitely 5'9", but Nancy claims her height to be 5'8". To me, Nancy is more like 5'7", and she is a tall woman all around.

Pic with him and Ryan Gosling, I know Carell has a big advantage as he is closer to the camera, but if Gosling is a legit 6 footer, then Carell is definitely 5'9".

@tributetodumbasses:

What's with the insults? Tempest is right, the American Average male is roughly 5'9.5". Worldwide, the average is in the 5'7" range, maybe, but he was only talking on American standards. Therefore, Tempest was right in saying that 5'8" is a little shorter than average. If you saw these stats linked below, you most likely wouldn't have posted your needlessly confrontational comment.

if he is 5'8 than he is taller than the average male you dumb ****. go back to school and learn about averages. the average male (AVERAGE) is 5'7. that means there are some very tall ****ers, and very short ****ers to make this number.

Randomly came across this site, lol. I found myself randomly standing next to Seth Rogen's 'End of the World' stand-in (same height/build) the other day. Just looking at me (5'8) next to him (5'11), it would make sense that Carrell is likely about 5'9. Just based on watching them in scenes. Of course, camera angle, build, and wardrobe makes a huge difference...but this seems accurate.
Hew said on 13/Dec/12
Watching The Office I'm positive he's 5'8 at most, might hit 5'8.5 with his best posture. Noticably shorter than 5'10 Leslie David Baker. Generally he also looks the same height as 5'8 BJ Novak.

Yea this is about right and 5'10 in shoes maybe 5'8 1/2 bc Iam 5'9 3/4 and my shoes make me 5'11 or a lil less because watch 40 year virgin when he is talking to Paul rudd they both look the same and they stand by the door I have the same type of door and they where wearing shoes and their line matches on the door but when wearing shoes so they're 5'8 1/2 barefoot and 5'10 in shoes

Rob you have Gosling at 184 cm, and there is not more than 5 cm between him and Carell. Either you upgrade Carell to 179 cm (which would be absolutely outrageous, if anything he sould be downgraded), or you should downgrade Gosling. In no way is there 9 cm between the two, wouldn´t you agree?

At most Gosling is 180 cm and Carell 175 cm.

Rob, if i would tell you, as a 1.75m man, that Carell looks taller then "my height", what would you tink?

A few factors can definitely make some men appear taller/shorter than their height, like proportions, body shape aswell, head length, even clothing style.

Steve Carell and Paul Rudd both look under 5'9" imo. 5'9" is a pretty average height but both are shorter than the majority of their male co stars. I would say 5'8" flat for Rudd and Carell. In The 40 Year Old Virgin Carell looks more than 2" shorter than 5'11" Seth Rogan.

Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP , you are kind giving him 5'8 max. 5'6 jon stewart have't stand straight and carell still does't look over 1.5" taller. i would have say steve carell is only 5'7 flat same height as paul rudd. if they were 5'8 , editor rob were to be 5'9.
Silent d said on 12/Jan/12
I got to admit he looks short next to 6 foot 3 will ferrell. Carell was only up to the bottom part of ferrell's ear. I'm assuming will ferrell wears lifts. I know steve carell is not a below average guy. I remember jon stewart claimed he was taller. He looked short in crazy stupid love but i think it was part of his character. A sad middle aged loser. Ryan gosling had to seem like a confident young man, that is why the difference was 3inches plus. They make steve carell short in movies on purpose because he plays damaged characters. 5 foot 9.

Antything shorter than 5 foot 8 for steve carell is an insult to him and it is outrageous! 5 foot 9. No way he is 5 foot 10.5 as he claimed once somewhere.

Sorry Rob, You DID add Kevin Mchale lol. I would say if EVEN RYAN SEACREST doesn't seem to buy this kid being 5'7 in a half IN NORMAL SHOES, then Mchale is probably 5'6, and slightly under at night. (He DID whisper the 5'7 in a half part like he was hiding something, but Ryan caught on and pretty much goes "in your dreams") lol.

BACK TO STEVE CARELL - I'd say Strong 5'8 in the day, Weak 5'8 at night.

On "The Office" (the episode where Kevin Mchale guest starts as a pizza boy) he TOWERS over listed 5'8 Kevin Mchale (he play's "Artie" on the shoe "GLEE"). I'd say 5'9 for Steve Carell. BTW Kevin Mchale admits on the Ryan Seacrest show that he is 5'7 and a half. Rob, he says it at the 3:10 mark. Three minutes and ten seconds in. Ryan jokes right after and says "in the right shoes" lol. I think you should add him Rob, its a legit confession and its live video footage. Here's the clip

Aaron: I do not share your comment. But basically, your comment is incorrect due to the following reason: scientists do not study the average height of populations by targeting genotype. When science determine the average height for adult male in any country in the world, does not determine (for the same country) the average height for a race or another. The average height within the same country, is only one. What we can target is the average height for a male or female. Following your approach, to cite one example, we could also target the average height of people by the color of eyes, long ears, or any other variable, capricious or whimsical. The average height for an adult male in the United States, only segmented by race, has no value, since that country has many other millions of people of different genotypes (I remind you that all other citizens, are not aliens or zombies of a swamp ...).
The height of Mr. Carell compares with the average height for an adult male, considering all genotypes living on U.S. soil (the science makes it this way, and they know about this issue much more than you and me.)

the only way to know someones height is to measure them. you cant judge someones exact height by comparing them to another person, especially when you dont even know the exact height of the person your using as a comparison. besides its not like everyone walks around barefoot all day or wears the same footwear. we get it, hes probably somewhere from 5'8 to 5'9 quit splitting hairs, its just an inch for crying out loud. NO NEED TO BE ANYMORE EXACT THAN THAT!!

Hey Simon, hate to get in the way of your race rant there, but averages are/SHOULD only be relative to genotype. We're all limited or have greater propensities to be certain ways based on our genes, and genes pool. These are very simple facts. Average white man is almost 5'10.5" in the US, and therefore, due to Steve's genetically being white, he is below average.

5'9"? C'mon, the man is clearly shorter than Paul Rudd, who's also listed 5'9".

well he looks about the same height as Mark Wahlberg, who stands around 5'7-5'9....but the fact that hes a bit taller than Mark in Date Night with his lifts on doesnt seem to make him 5'9 barefoot....so in conclusion, i'd say 5'8barefoot....the stated height above must hv included his lifts which makes him a 5'9.....thus it was held 5'8

Matt: Yeah sure Wahlberg is 5'9"...WTF??
Martyr said on 1/Mar/11
He's 5.9
Though he looks more like 5.8 on the office, he was an inch taller than 5.8 Dana Carvey back in the days...
matt said on 1/Mar/11
WTF! he ain't 5'9 (1.75m). He is like 5'7 (1.70m), in the Date Night movie he was standing next to Mark Wahlberg and he is 5'9 and he looked taller than Steve at least by 2 inches.

Ezio: with all respect, I´d like to tell you something. The Male Average Height in a country includes all the age ranges, and also all the RACE RANGES. This means it´s not correct, for instance, including WHITE PEOPLE, and NOT CONSIDERING HISPANIC OR BLACK PEOPLE. As far as I know, this website considers human beings´heights, and as far as I know, HISPANIC AND BLACK PEOPLE are human beings. Said that, if you consider that the population in U.S. is aroung 350 million people, and what´s more important, HISPANIC + BLACK PEOPLE total A THIRD of the total population in U.S. That´s why if you don´t consider them, you would have a COMPLETLY WRONG AND DISTORTED RESULT. To end my comment, nowadays Male Average Height in U.S. is around 5´9" (in this case I mean only men, all races, all ethnicities, including WHITE SKIN, OIL SKIN, BLACK SKIN, BLOND HAIR, BRUNETTE, GREEN HAIR, LONG NAILS, MOUSTACHE, BEARD, GREEN EYES, BLUE EYES, BROWN EYES, HAZEL EYES, NICE PEOPLE, NASTY PEOPLE, SERIOUS PEOPLE, SYMPATHETIC PEOPLE, ETC. ETC..

---Americans WANT to believe they're taller than average, they're not.---

@Anonymous-- You are wrong. The average height of an American man (aged any race) is 5'10

The average height of a white American man is 5'10 1/2-- Both are well above average and taller on average than a man in the United Kingdom.

5'10.5 the average height? Lol who are you kidding?

Do you guys think Steve Carrell is taller or shorter than Rob paul? I know its close, but what do you think?
Anonymous said on 12/Feb/11
I look at dimensions. Think he's taller than 5'8" Ricky Gervais. 5'8 1/2" possibly. But, I'M smart.
Mathew said on 9/Feb/11
I'd say just under 5'9".
SolidSnake said on 9/Feb/11
I think he looks 5'7 or 8. Im surprised to see 5'9'. Wasn't he barely taller than Hathaway in Get Smart?
hey said on 8/Feb/11
he's probably more like 5-8 than 5-10
JellO said on 3/Feb/11
He's a tough one. My guess is more 5'8.5.
E said on 17/Jan/11
really does not look 5'9"... he appears very short next to paul rudd who i believe is also 5'9" i would say steve is probably in the 5'7" range...
Anonymous said on 17/Jan/11
I have to say he looks more 5'7"-5'8" because during the Golden Globes today he stood next to 5'4" Tina Fey with heels and looked about the same height as her.
Ryder said on 14/Jan/11
he looks to be about 5 foot 8
Willow said on 6/Jan/11
Check out the first pic on this site: Click Here

Standing next to the 5'8 Max Toni Collette in more or less equal footwear he looks no taller than 5'7".
michael said on 3/Jan/11
I cannot believe Carell is actually 5-9, on the office he looks 5-8 max.
Xavier said on 2/Jan/11
Highly doubt hes 5'9. Greg Kinnear is 5'9 and he looks noticeably taller than carell. I would guess 5'7.75 barefoot for Steve.
