Dylan says on 13/Nov/09
Cute or not, I don't see him over 5'7" myself.
Teri says on 18/Oct/09
He's so damn cute! I really wouldn't care if he was only 5'4", but I think he looks 5'7" - 5'8". Rika says on 27/Sep/09
No way is this guy 5'8. 5'6 atleast. Lena says on 14/Sep/09
I once read in an interview that he has chronic back problems. May be shrinks more than others. Say may be he is 5'7 in the morning barefoot, shrinks to 5'6 in the evening with dress shoes on. So he is a a weak 5'7 or a stron 5'6.
Good choice for spiderman though. Daii says on 3/Sep/09
He looks 5'8 in Spiderman, he was the same height as 5'7.5 Bryce Dallas Howard (Gwen Stacy) and about 2 inches shorter than 5'10ish James Franco. Parker says on 22/Aug/09
Its not you Paul. My brother is a smidge under 5'8, and my son 5'7. You would not know who was taller without measuring. Posture,footwear etc can disguise an 3/4 inch difference - A 2 inch difference is clear. Paul says on 21/Aug/09
I think I need my eyes testing. I'd be hard pressed to differentiate half an inch between two people, let alone a quarter inch. Is it me, or are height differences of less than inch really visible to the naked eye? Star says on 20/Aug/09
He is def 5'6. I have seen him in person and stood next to him and he was much shorter than me. Anonymous says on 28/Jul/09
5'6 is more accurate Mark says on 26/Jul/09
I saw him in an interview w/ Kevin Pereira and Olivia Munn, and he was a good 4 inches shorter. Kevin is ~5'8" so Tobey is more like 5'4". Doug says on 16/Jul/09
Doesn't look anywhere near 5 ft 8. Maguire is 5'6.5" or 5'7". Original says on 11/Jul/09
5'6.75", max 5'7".
I agree with Lenad. Lenad says on 25/Jun/09
169-170cm mcfan says on 13/Jun/09
I disagree with people claiming 5'6.5- 5'7 for Tobey. He was only slightly shorter than Robert Downey Jr and I mean, maybe, a quarter inch. Rob's right on with 5'7.75 it appears. Lenad says on 5/Jun/09
Tobey is 5'8 in his dreams. JOSH says on 31/May/09
I would estimate him at about 5ft 6.4 barefoot and maybe 5ft 7 or so in shoes.
In the spiderman films he looked that height. No less but no over for sure.
I even heard is stuntman for spiderman was only 5ft 6. RisingForce says on 25/May/09
if james franco is 5-10.5 then i'd say maguire looks to be a flat five-seven here. Click Here tobey's posture looks better and he's a tiny bit closer to the camera so if anything he has the advantages there. but he still looks over 3 inches shorter. i'm 5-8 and i don't get dwarfed by 5-10.5 guys like that. dude says on 25/May/09
spider man, spiderman, here it comes (him) XD spideyfan says on 19/May/09
hese probly 5'7 but looks taller because hese thin but hese cool so is tom cruise and ben stiller 5.7 is a great height to be Lenad says on 18/May/09
If Tobey appeared 5'6ish when wearing dress shoes I'd say he was stooping a bit. Pheraps that might explain it Glenn Brad says on 13/May/09
5' 7" (weak) Kirsten Dunst actually owned him in heels. She's a 5' 5er. His 5' 8" claim is a joke. glenn says on 12/May/09
exactly leonari! leonari says on 12/May/09
Glenn: Count me in. 5'7" ish the three of us. LOL glenn says on 12/May/09
kind of looks like that leung. glenn says on 12/May/09
i agree leonari.5-7ish the 2 of us. Leung says on 11/May/09
Did Maguire get upgraded? leonari says on 10/May/09
This 5'6 and below talk for Tobey is bull. He is probably the same height as Glenn. leonari says on 10/May/09
I agree with Dylan. Tobey is way closer to 5'7" than 5'8". Dylan says on 10/May/09
I would have said he was 5'7" maximum. I don't see him being as tall as Tom Cruise. Lenad says on 9/May/09
Not a full 5'8 thats for sure glenn says on 4/May/09
yeah,toby has me confused.he looked 5-6 to me in dress shoes.5-7 in nike airs.and 5-8 in my friends pics.maybe he is like me.barely 5-8 morning,and shrinks alot.saw him alot. Lenad says on 3/May/09
5'4 is too low. But Glenn and JustinThurday and some other people commenting have seen Tobey in the flesh as not being over 5'7. superman says on 1/May/09
People, Tobey is 5`7.75 cuz obviously they wouldn`t tell us his height without measuring him, right? he`s not 5'6 or 5'5. Also Spiderman was all different kinds of heights, normally medium. justinthursday says on 30/Apr/09
I actually got to meet Toby Maguire at The Grove in Los Angeles. I'm about 5'9 and I towered over him and he was wearing converse all stars so it was flat. I would say he is a weak 5'7 maybe even 5'6 exact. Sorry no pictures but that's how tall I think he is. He can look tall from a far but he really isn't. I'm sure he is 5'6 or 5'6.5 and I would bet big money on that. Nothing taller than that. yoyo says on 25/Apr/09
he was atually 5ft5.5 in real.. Lenad says on 20/Apr/09
Cate Blanchett is way taller than him in heels so that just totally rules out the possibilty of Tobey being 5'8-5'9 barefoot. I'd say its possible that Maguire is 172cm out of bed but anything higher is out of the question Kate says on 19/Apr/09
He's quite a bit shorter than Cate Blanchett in the Good German. She's supposed to be around 5ft 9 and he must have been wearing lifts to approximate her. Morris says on 16/Apr/09
I think tobey is tall 160-165 cm. All stars tell lies about own height except very tall man or woman. It is possible see that observing them near car roof... and the false became real. :D Random Person says on 14/Apr/09
5'7 on the dot. Andrew says on 12/Apr/09
Shorter than Willem Dafoe 5'7. Click Here Doug says on 11/Apr/09
In fact I think he is a weak 5'7", more like 5'6.5"-5'6.75" judging by pics with 5'5" guys. Doug says on 11/Apr/09
No they can't be the same height, Tom Cruise is taller. Maguire is around 170 not 172. Lenad says on 8/Apr/09
I reckon if Viper was commenting on this page he would say Tobey is 5'4. Lenad says on 7/Apr/09
Hes not under 5'6 lets establish that Josh says on 3/Apr/09
I heard his stunt double for the spiderman films was only 5ft 6 and maguire was just slightly taller. Lenad says on 31/Mar/09
168 min 171 max. 169-170cm. Pierce Brosnan fan says on 15/Feb/09
maybe 170~173 is right Leung says on 18/Jan/09
They are not eye to eye but Chiklis has got a really long forehead. They are basically the same height. glenn says on 18/Jan/09
some people didnt believe me chiklis was 5-6.i swore toby was 5-6 in dress shoes,5-7 in sneakers 2 years ago.saw him alot a couple weeks ago.seemed 5-7,but 5-8 in my friends pics.he is tough.doesnt pose unless its indoors,inside an event.usually.turned me down left and right. Slipknot says on 18/Jan/09
Tobey with 5'7 Michael chiklis Click Here linebacker40 says on 17/Jan/09
a flat 5'8" Lenad says on 10/Dec/08
Maguire is 5ft7.5 at the most. Neon Genesis says on 9/Dec/08
James Franco is 5'10'' (1.78 m) and he towers over Maguire in the first Spider-Man. Maguire is max. 5'8'' (1.73 m) RisingForce says on 7/Dec/08
He's 5 foot 7, no taller. Lenad says on 22/Nov/08
Id say 5'7 give or take half an inch the shredder says on 15/Oct/08
Rob , about who is taller out of him and Cruise ? ... Its Cruise ! .. Type in 82268151 on Gettyimages , its the day that Tom had flats and Tom is clearly taller ! ... So Cruise has GOT TO BE 5'8 or Maguire is 5'7 flat ! Both or not 172cm ! Eric says on 13/Oct/08
I say 5'7"-5'7.5" MAX like just out of bed. in all of his movies he looks below average. Anonymous says on 25/Sep/08
Seen him walking in the street in NYC the guy was a pretty small fella looked like a peanut, it sounds like Iam mocking him but he did look like a very small guy he looked no more than 5'6 with sneakers, as I passed him it seemed I had a generous amount of inches over him and Iam only 5'11.5 with shoes. Lenad says on 18/Sep/08
So the same height. Cool. leonari says on 17/Sep/08
And I think that both of these heights are plain wrong. Lenad says on 16/Sep/08
Just out of curiousity Rob, who do you believe is shorter, Tobey Maguire or Tom Cruise or would you say they are the same height?
[Editor Rob: they look like guys who are in the near 5ft 8 zone who some think can struggle with 5ft 7...I think they are both near 172cm.] Lenad says on 15/Sep/08
Closer to 5'7. I bet you any money. A downgrade is really needed. Lenad says on 14/Sep/08
Exactly Leonari. Also in Wonder boys you can tell hes shorter than Robert Downy Jr. Tobey is definitly not any taller than 5'7. Lenad says on 13/Sep/08
Oh yeah I see it now Rob but I still think a reality check would prove hes 5'7 or below. Wasnt he shorter than 5'8 Robert Downy Jr in Wonder boys?
[Editor Rob: the question is if he's almost 5ft 8 or closer to 5ft 7.] Lenad says on 13/Sep/08
Oh yeah I see it now Rob but I still think a reality check would prove hes 5'7 or below. Wasnt he shorter than 5'8 Robert Downy Jr in Wonder boys? leonari says on 12/Sep/08
Cruise is that height on a good day. Maguire is an inch shorter Lenad says on 12/Sep/08
Rob I do not see any drinks table...
[Editor Rob:
see this, different shot but he's resting slightly on the table.
See the photo that person posted?
Look here at image no 11688150. The hbo photo has been shamefully altered from that one :), to move maguire closer towards Kevin and also down a bit.] Lenad says on 11/Sep/08
That pic with 5'5 Kevin Connelly says it all. Hes 5'6 max. Crazy says on 11/Sep/08

Tobey Maguire was good enough to Spiderman! Height doesn't matter when it comes to the results of his movies, I mean Spiderman's serires movies...I'm excited to watch the part 4... leonari says on 5/Sep/08
a flat 5'7 suits him well. Glenn saw him as a flat 5'6 in dress shoes. Scary. Annoyed says on 4/Sep/08
What is very interesting is that in the fake "Satans Alley" trailer in Tropic Thunder, there is a bit where Robert Downey Jr and Tobey Maguire are side by side dressed as Benedictine monks And the difference is practically nothing and if it is anything then Downey Jr is barelly even half an inch taller........this is strange because in WonderBoys, Downey appears 1 full inch taller, now i know Maguire's character in wonderboys is supposed to be short and quiet and physically weak BUT i do think Maguire has always looked alot shorter than 5'8" and i think 5'7" is alo closer to his actual height......this wouldnt explain tho how he is the same height as Downey ( 5'8" ) in Tropic Thunder......unless maybe he actually is 5'8"........im confused..........any thoughts?? Lenad says on 24/Aug/08
Holy hell!! I didnt think Iron man was 6'3. Anonymous says on 21/Aug/08
In the comics Spiderman was actually 5'10" and MJ 5'8". Since Maguire is 5'7" and Dunst is 5'5", it's still apparent that he's a couple inches taller than her. Plus, Iron Man was 6'3" and Downey is 5'8". Anonymous says on 15/Aug/08
Just watched 'Spiderman 3'. He doesn't look 5' 8" but it can be difficult to tell in movies. Complex says on 5/Aug/08
5'6 - 5'6.5 , 5'7 absolute max morning height! He's no where close to 5'8 barefoot, not even in the morning, probably 5'6.5 is pretty accurate! Daniel says on 20/Jul/08
I also believe Maguire was a good choice for Spiderman, even though he (in real life, not in the movie itself) seems to be 2 or 3 inches shorter than the character. mcfan says on 6/Jul/08
looks .5 - .75 taller than Ellen. It's on youtube. glenn says on 24/Jun/08
sf-you have a right to get mad.your important to the site.i get mad here all the time.i admire your knowledge on certain subjects. Lenad says on 23/Jun/08
He looked small and stocky in The Good German. sf says on 23/Jun/08
I'm no expert, just have read the comic since 1978, and built a collection dating back to the original Amazing Spider-man #8 and read comic after comic about Spidey. Just like with other heroes, certain writers or artists will draw/do anything they want with just about any character, within limits. Originally, Spidey was "kind of a little guy", but, as the years and character progressed, this aspect seems to have dropped over time, and, I guess it make sense. I guess after a character becomes one of the most popular super heroes of all time, everyone feels he needs to be larger than life. I have always thought it interesting that he was supposed to be "no taller than 5'8" or 5'9" in many comics I read, but then official stats put him at 5'10". Even as a kid, reading that, it never made sense to me. As an adult, it does. Just like with celebs that wear lifts or elevator shoes for movies. We might all really know that Bono is only 5'5" or 5'6", but his "official" stats will put him at 5'7" or whatever. Or, Tom Cruise is officially 2 inches taller than he actually is, etc. Or, just about every short male actor who'se listed 2 inches taller than he actually is. No male super-hero or celebrity is ever supposed to be short for some reason. Just like they made Wolverine a head taller in the movie.
Sorry, if I got mad. glenn says on 22/Jun/08
i love how people think they know more than sf.he is clearly the expert here.this post has nothing to do with parker.i like parker. glenn says on 22/Jun/08
i agree on toby being a good choice.i might finally get him.he lives where i hang.and knows people i know. Parker says on 22/Jun/08
sf - I apologise as I've clearly touched a nerve. No offence meant. I too think Tobey was a good choice. Parker says on 20/Jun/08
sf - September 1964. Spiderman 16, vs Daredevil. Daredevil estimates Spidey's height at 5'10. sf says on 20/Jun/08
I disagree - The first Spiderman was hugely faithful to the original comic dating to the sixties even with the corniness of J. Jonah Jameson. I was amazed how faithful it was, cause like you said, using the X-men as an example -that was not very faithful when Wolverine was played by a 6'2" Hugh Jackman and Cyclops looked like a model.
The time period should have nothing to do with it. If Wolverine's a short, tough guy, that's what he should be, even today. And then, they take Michael Chiklis, 5'7" at best, and make him play The Thing. Yes, superheroes are updated for the time, and usually in a worse way to pander to directors and producers who think every frickin' character has to be super-cool and good-looking. runt says on 19/Jun/08
None of these superhero movies are portraying a 1963 version of the hero. If that were the case, Iron Man would have kept the suit that he built in the desert. The core audience simply couldn't relate if they did that. The X-men movies were all post-1975 X-men characters. The Spidey of the 70's was a wise-cracking action hero. sf says on 18/Jun/08
Runt, and everyone else: Over the years, different writers and editors have changed Spidey's stats. I am 42. He was originally referred to in COMIC AFTER COMIC as kind of a "little guy". He got bigger over time. Notice in many comics him standing as tall as Flash Thompson or many, many heroes when he was actually supposed to be a small, science nerd. Again, different writers, editors, artists, etc. just made him as tall as they wanted him to be.
I was reading Spider-man comics before most of you were born. I had a collection of original Spidey's dating back to the 60's. I know of what I speak. And, I didn't mean to say grandparents, smartass, Lenad. I made a mistake. Yes, Uncle Ben and Aunt May. Sorry for making mistake, Lenass.
Also - I have NEVER seen Spidey listed as low as 5'6", 5'8" to 5'9" - lowest. Lenad says on 17/Jun/08
Sf you must be talking about another Character named Spiderman. He refers to his "grandparents" as Uncle Ben and Aunt May. joey says on 12/Jun/08
hello I'm a big fan of the site and actually came across it by typing in some celebraties height... I now have u guys on under my favorites... Any who I have old spiderman comics and according to the very original ones he is listed at 5'6...just wanted to put my two sense in there .... runt says on 8/Jun/08
"Marvel Unitvese", a collection of official manuals on all the heroes, put him at 5-10. sf says on 7/Jun/08
runt - Spiderman was originally a big nerd, a small guy who loved science, had no friends, got picked on a lot. He's not charsimatic, at all. A small, science geek who lived with his grandparents. The character of Spider-man evolved over time.
Also, many times he was listed as about 5'8" or 5'9" and consistently called a "little guy" in the comics. Toby was a surprisingly accurate choice. JJD - some writers put Spidey around 5'10" and 160 or so. Originally, he's only 5'8" to 5'9. leonari says on 7/Jun/08
Keaton IS Batman. Lenad says on 6/Jun/08
Also Michael Keaton was too short for Batman at 5'10 and yes the more I think about it the more Tobey wasn't the best choice for the role. runt says on 4/Jun/08
Joshua Jackson of "Dawson's Creek" was rumored in 2000 and may have even read for the part. He's a little tall at 6-1.5, but so was Ben Afleck at 6-2.5 for Daredevil. runt says on 31/May/08
He's a bad choice because he doesn't match the type seen in the comics. In the comics, spidey is a charismatic wise-cracker more in the mold of real action heroes with catch phrases. He was also super smart but not as nerdy as Mcguire. But not as "cool" of a brain as Bruce Wayne or Tony Stark. Spidey was something in between. Lenad says on 27/May/08
12/May/08 Yaspaa says
I think this guy was a bad choice for Spiderman regardless of his height.
Well he maybe only 5ft7 but why was he a bad choice? Yaspaa says on 12/May/08
I think this guy was a bad choice for Spiderman regardless of height. JJD says on 2/May/08
In the comics canon, Peter Parker/Spidey is/was billed at 5'10", 165 lbs. Definitely not Tobey Maguire stats; I put him closer to 5'8" and maybe 140-145 lbs. glenn says on 10/Mar/08
he is 5-7 tops.tops.looking 5-6 in dress shoes when i saw him. True Height Explorer ShahNawaz says on 8/Mar/08
Tobey... is 5ft 6.5 inch C. says on 16/Feb/08
He looks 5'7" max in films, so there's no way I could see him as high as 5'8". And if people here are stating that he's 5'6", I could also believe that. glenn says on 15/Jan/08
5-7 flat with the ablity to look shorter in person and taller in movies. leonari says on 14/Jan/08
I think 5'7" flat would be most accurate . dmeyer says on 13/Jan/08
glenn is about 5'8 ,if he thinks tobey is shorter then whi list him at 5'7.75
[Editor Rob: I can believe down to 5ft 7, maybe I'll eventually agree. ] Rob says on 12/Jan/08
Tobey is the perfectsize for the Peter Parker role. n comparing him tomyslef, I say that he is around 5'7" and very well could be 170 or. I am 5'7".5, weight 172 with a 30 inch waist. So I say that his measurements a very possible.. Gago says on 8/Jan/08
You're welcome Glenn, and thanks to you. Lot of people here judge peoples heights by watching movies, not considering camera angles, pavement, etc. and some people just don't know the difference between 5'6, 5'8 and 5'10. glenn says on 7/Jan/08
i agree he looks 5-8 in the movies.but in person he was shorter. twingo says on 7/Jan/08
I think 1.72 cm barefoot fits him better. He doesn't look shorter than that in any scene of the 3 spider's movies compared to others actors/rees and even objects in scenaries, like doors height, despite of the care of the movie producers related to this point in camera angles or shoes lifts wearing. Anyway, I can't picture (imagine) any other actor performing Peter Parker so perfectly despite of his low height to the caracter. I am 41 and a spider fan since I was a kid and think Tob choice was perfect. Sorry about my english, I am brazilian. glenn says on 7/Jan/08
without shoes estimates is what i give. Andre says on 6/Jan/08
Tobey looks 5'6.5 max to me. He looks about the same height as I look in photos. In shoes we can push the 5'8 mark. Andre says on 6/Jan/08
With shoes or without Glenn? glenn says on 5/Jan/08
thank you for backing me gago.he was the 2nd biggest shock i had since emilio.people were telling me toby was always 5-6.but i did see 5-7 as well.good eye leonari.even better eye gago.ill buy that. 5-6.5 or so.no way under 5-6. Andre says on 5/Jan/08
Glenn, so this guy is 5'5.5 MAX barefoot?? Gago says on 5/Jan/08
Tobey is 168, may be 169, little over 5'6, seen him few times, and Franco is 5'9.5 tops. leonari says on 5/Jan/08
Glenn: Thank you! Years ago before Maguire hit it big I always said this guy is a tad shorter than me...I say he is 5'7" absolute max on a good day...on most days he is around 5'6.5"... glenn says on 5/Jan/08
no way.i saw toby look 5-6 in dress shoes.5-7 in nike air.so 5-7 top.and thats pushing it. canadian girl says on 4/Jan/08
to round it off he definally gotta be 5'8. 5'8 is his max height. Bobbbo says on 8/Dec/07
I've always thought James Franco looked a little taller than 5'10 joe says on 30/Nov/07
Click Here - a pic of him next to 5'10 james franco. He is easily 2 inches shorter than him as James looks like he ducking to get in the picture and not throw it out of proportion. Tobey Maguire is not a hair over 5'8 and thats if you believe these heights are without shoes on. I'd say measured by a doctor he is 5'7. leonari says on 11/Nov/07
Jon Stweart is 5'6" which makes Tobey 5'7". In my mind Tobey is shorter than Cruise. by 2 cm. Of course I could be wrong. glenn says on 11/Nov/07
jon stewart is tricky.i heard him say he was 5-6 out of his own mouth.and he can look it.he can also look 5-7. Farnsy says on 11/Nov/07
Yeah I saw it too. Next to 5'7 Jon Stewart he looked taller than Jon by barely an inch Anonymous says on 10/Nov/07
He and Kirsten Dunst looks about the same height when Dunst wears high shoes. I'd say he's 5'7 and a half Adam Brennon says on 27/Oct/07
Impressive dimensions Mr DEATh. How much can you squat, curl and bench? Anonymous says on 19/Oct/07
He doesn't look less than 5'7, and definitely no more than 5'8. Anything out of that range is ridiculous. DEATh says on 11/Oct/07
I'm 5'7 and I weigh 205lbs. I got 28" quads, 18" arms, 48" chest, 18" calfs krobert says on 8/Oct/07
here's a video of him with Steve Carell: Click Here
Carell looks about an inch taller than Tobey but probably no more than that. roy says on 2/Oct/07
im 5'11 and a half and way 213lbs yet its just primarily big build. some people who are blatantly like 5'9 or ten say "oh yeah I'm almost 6 foot!" no, your not, your 3 inches off! Plus theyre like "ooh yeah im about, what 12 stone?" Thats why you must never trust shorter people when giving their height as they're always going to just boost themselves up a little bit, and if overweight, they'll reduce it. Maguire is pushing 5 ft 7 imo. Kirsten Dunst was almost the same height, probs not much more than about an inch so you know. Barely 5'7, and that was roy speaking. good day and goodnight. John says on 1/Oct/07
Youre an idiot Anon. Jay Cutler barely has above 30 inch thighs and he's 5'9 like 270 pounds.
I find it hard to believe that a manlet such as yourself, at 165 pounds, could have large measurements. dave says on 1/Oct/07
Im 5'9.5 and I tip the scales at just over 170, like 172 on a good day. I dont look bulky at all more toned and ripped. Even if Tobey Maguire is only 5'7/5'7.5 I can believe he was close to 170 pounds for the role of spiderman. Jason says on 29/Sep/07
30'' thighs at 5'8'' 165lbs? Mistake? :P Mine are 28.33'' & I'm 6'3 1/2'' 243lbs...
Agree if he's only 5'6''-5'7'', he wasn't 170lbs, though. Anon. says on 28/Sep/07
In response to what was said about the actor's weight, I agree with the fact that he probably wasn't close to 170 lbs for the role of Spider Man. I stand an even 5'8, and weigh 143 pounds now. When I was playing hockey I walked around at 165 and was much bigger than Tobey appears in the movie, thick neck, arms etc. despite also having 30" thighs. glenn says on 22/Sep/07
well i saw him in the flesh several times.he is 5-6 to 5-7. Farnsy says on 21/Sep/07
Actually I saw him in a photo next to Lukas Haas and they say that Lukas is 6'1. If you ask me Maguire looked about 12cm shorter. But we all saw it on the Ellen Show, he appeared her height,a said 5'6. So it's hard to tell but I'm going to say Maguire is 172-173cm tall from my point of view. 5'8 sounds about right glenn says on 7/Sep/07
exactly lee and leonari. lee says on 6/Sep/07
yes i do belive that tobey is only 5'6"i was with a man that was 5'7" AND TOBEY looks a bit shorter i say 5'6" i myself is 5'4" so i know what it looks like standing next to a 5'6" or a 5'7" leonari says on 30/Aug/07
The guy is 5'7"...and hell who knows: Maybe Glenn saw a liftless Tobey? That would explain the 5'6" encounter... Chip says on 29/Aug/07
I think he is about 5'8". I really don't think he's much less than 5'7". 5'8" isn't tall, guys, it's about average. dmeyer says on 28/Aug/07
if glenn see him 5'6 i doubt he is over 5'7 but he dosnt look more than 3 in under franco Anonymous says on 27/Aug/07
Rob, that's a real modest downgrade from 5-8 to 5-7.75 but a downgrade nonetheless :-) you shold've taken this guy to at least 5-7.5 though. But I really think he's 5-6. 5-7 if you strech it. Yitzhak says on 14/Aug/07
He's about 3 inches shorter than James Franco (who I believe is no more than 5'10) 6'3'' JK says on 26/Jul/07
Well Rob if Glenn is saying 5'7'' then you should downgrade the guy by half an inch the least, Glenn have you got a picture with him? glenn says on 26/Jul/07
he isnt taller than 5-7.he looked that in nike airs.in dress shoes he was a shocking 5-6.so i dont know. leonari says on 26/Jul/07
Glenn: Are you sticking to 5'6" for this guy???? Please reply. thanks dude. glenn says on 25/Jul/07
he isnt. 6'3'' JK says on 25/Jul/07
I really think he is 5'7.5'' - 5'8'' dave says on 19/Jul/07
i thought he was 1.68 ...he looks short on spiderman 1,2and 3....he doesn't seem 5'8 ..... Anonymous says on 11/Jul/07
I don't see any short legs there. Still looks pretty proportionate to me. I'm still sticking to 5'6". Also, he appears to be as tall as Ellen in the video who's 5'6" max but looks like Tobey is trying his level best to stretch himself as maximum as he can to appear taller than her. Randal K. says on 11/Jul/07
Anonymous: actually, Maguire's legs are short. Watch the video on Ellen Degenares show on YouTube. Click Here 5'6" if he was proportionate, 5'7" 'cause he's not. glenn says on 9/Jul/07
just like i saw when i met him the first time.5-6. Anonymous says on 8/Jul/07
A follow-up to Tobey's pair of pants on auction: if you see the scene where he's wearing those pants in the movie, you'll notice that the pants are bunched up in fold's near his foot. The scene is where he's standing at the end of the fight with Harry unconscious on the ground. Now an inseam of 29 3/4" on a 5'7" guy who's limbs are proportionate shouldn't be bunched up like this as Tobey's legs appear to be well proportionate to the rest of his body and he's not a guy with short legs. My young brother is 5'7" and his limbs are proportionate and he wears a 30" inseam pants, and they don't bunch up like this. So I think he's a 5'6" guy. runt says on 30/Jun/07

I don't think Maguire is 5'8". Look here - Click Here In that pic, Dunst is obviously taller than him. She's wearing big heels, that might give her extra 3 inches. That's 5'8.5"(174cm). Maguire is wearing heels also, plus he's also wearing lifts (look where his leg/knee is bending). If he was 5'8", the added height (even without the lifts, just the shoes) should put him at least at 175 cm. No, no. Tobey is 5'7" (170-171cm). End of story. mcfan says on 24/Jun/07
If Robert Downey Jr is 5'8 then Tobey has to be 5'7.5 or below. MD says on 12/Jun/07
He's definitely not a full 5'8", but Rob seems to believe he is for whatever reason. glenn says on 12/Jun/07
the 2 shocks lately are toby and michael chilkles(sp?) looking 5-6.second time i saw toby he seemed more 5-7. Lmeister says on 12/Jun/07
PPl have different kinds of builts. One frined of mine who is 5'11'' wears 30'' jeans and one of my co-workers wears 32'' eventhough he is 6'0''. I'm 5'8'' and usually buy 30''... Anonymous says on 5/Jun/07
There are a pair of pants on auction on ebay which were worn by Tobey in Spider-man 3. The inseam of the pants: 29 3/4", that would make Tobey's height a solid 5'6" or a very weak 5'7". Cpt. Crunch says on 4/Jun/07
3-4 inches shorter and 30 pounds lighter than the real Spiderman in Marvel Universe statistics. Also makes him weaker than the real Spiderman because, like a spider, Spidey can lift 40 times his weight. For Tobey that's only 6000 pounds. mcfan says on 23/May/07
I think he wears lifts at times. Sometimes he looks 5'7. lee says on 15/May/07
years back tobet was said to be 5'7 and to me he looks it i had a boyfriend that was 5'7 and i 5'2 just like tobeys wife to be and my x and i look like tobey and hes wife to be standing side by side so yes i do think that tobey is 5'7 or .5 shorter MD says on 11/May/07
Sorry for what? Elisabeth says on 10/May/07
Kirstun dunst looks kind of tall for a girl.but For a guy,that is kind of on the short side.I think he is around 5'7.5".Sorry Tobey. val says on 10/May/07
yeah,it's ok..his tall is same to me.
but he's the right person to play as spiderman..i hope i can see spiderman 4..
spiderman is my favorite movie..forever Jordan says on 9/May/07
Rob has said many times before that Tobey was made to look taller than Dunst in the movies, and here is a pic the proves Rob Right, Tobey doesnt look that mych taller than, Dunst, if an Inch. Also Molina Dwarfs both of them.
Click Here MD says on 8/May/07
Yeah, he looked taller than Jon, to me, too. But, it was nothing over an inch, and looked less than that. sam says on 8/May/07
He looked almost an inch taller than Stewart to me. I noticed Maguire was standing ramrod straight (almost abnormally so), perhaps hoping not to seem comparable to a little guy like Stewart. the shredder says on 8/May/07
Rob , man me others think you should put him down to 5'7 ! ... Even Glennjamin saw 5'6 ! George H. says on 8/May/07
Saw him on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. They were about the same height. the shredder says on 8/May/07
I'd bet money that he is in the 5'7 range ! ... 5'7 was what he was getting listed at , then BOOM , HE IS SPIDER MAN ! ... LET ME GIVE MYSELF 5'8 NOW ! MD says on 8/May/07
I can't see him being anything over 5'7". I think Rob needs to check this one, again. trueheight says on 8/May/07
look at spidey 2 when his best friend introduces him to DOC OC - James Franco who is just under 5'11(listed here) is about 4in taller than him easy. He looks like a child next Alfred Molina trueheight says on 8/May/07
he's not 5'8 Anonymous says on 7/May/07

(for the argument of how tall spiderman SHOULD be)
but tobey does look about 5'8. I mean im roughly 5'9 so I'm pretty sure just by looking at him that he's that height. the shredder says on 7/May/07
I just saw Spiderman 3 ... When he stands next to 5'10.5 Thoper Grace , he looks 5'7 max ! glenn says on 6/May/07
thank you guys.even my friends and peers agree that he was 5-6ish.i was shocked.i thought he was 5-8 for sure.this is one case that asshole scarlet was right on.scarlet,i cant hear you. 6'3'' JK says on 6/May/07
Tobey looks 5'8'' to me timber says on 5/May/07
I don't think it was an illusion, Glenn: saw him on the Ellen DeGeneres show today and he appeared her height, 5- 6. bikbanban says on 5/May/07
just watched on tv today (a special show bout spiderman 3) a male japanese tv personality saying "i met him (tobey) in a hotel and shook his hand. and man, it was a real surprise how small he is, he's smaller than me". btw this guy has 170. AirSky says on 4/May/07
5'8" on a very good day. I ask you, why would they pick Tobey Maguire as Spider-man? Have they forgotten what Peter Parker looks like? (and I'm not talking height only) I don't know about you, but to me, that blows the whole movie from the get-go -- nothing wrong with Tobey, great actor glenn says on 3/May/07
just missed dicaprio and toby together.imagine that photo.not a photog or autograph dealer around.the thing is,would they agree to pose with me? dmeyer says on 3/May/07
after look at pics near 5 ft 5.5 dunst he looks 5'8 but can look under it near clooney and franco so 5'8 morning 5'7.25 night he might be a 171 guy TheJerk says on 2/May/07
5-6 is too low, 5-7 I think wouldn't be. glenn says on 2/May/07
almost had the photo with him too.he got upset 2 papparazi were doing video on him.he is one of the toughest to get.had him alone pretty much. leonari says on 2/May/07
Well Glenn: I bet thats because he is a lot closer to 5'7" than most of you think. They did a good job of making Peter Parker look taller than he is. Great movie btw. saw it yesterday. Ending a bit long but special effects in this movie are something else.amazing. For me there is noo way that Tobey Maguire is a full 5'8" man. never was, never will be. glenn says on 2/May/07
i finally met him.no pic yet.i was shocked to see he appeared 5-6!!! i dont know if it was a strange illusion.my friend saw the same thing.he had dress shoes. MD says on 1/May/07
Tobey was just on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, he looked an inch taller than Jon Stewart, at the very, very most. Scarlet says on 17/Apr/07
Toby is 5'6. In heels 5'5 Kristen Dunst has the edge on him. Barefeet he is about half an inch taller.
Clear view of this
Click Here Jordan says on 12/Apr/07
Yes, I figure Dafoe and Tobey both wear lifts and in MD's pics its apparent that at least one of them wears lifts. Its better to compare Tobey to Molina beacuse almost all the people on the Molina page agree that he is a solid 6'2 so maybe Molina is better to compare Tobey with since Molina's height is more proven. MD says on 11/Apr/07
Well, it appears the pictures of him with what we've decided as a 5'7" Dafoe are gone, so here they are, again:

Unless Dafoe is in lifts and Tobey isn't, for everyone of those three different appearances, it would seem that Tobey is only marginally taller, definitely not a full inch taller. Jordan says on 9/Apr/07
Robert.r, maybe thats because he is in scenes with the 6'2.5 Alfred Molina, thus making Tobey look shorter. Mike says on 6/Apr/07
This guy is 5'7. If he says 5'8 he's gonna be an inch shorter.. Jordan says on 5/Apr/07
Well SF, I have not read the comics that much, and I only became a fan after Spider-man 2 was realesed and plus I have only read a few comics but I think on Marvel bios it usually has Spidey at 510. Sf you prolly are right about the comics though, I cant argue there. glenn says on 5/Apr/07
i kinda remember the 5-8 to 5-9 references now come to think of it,but read more 5-10.so yeah it varied.what was his first true height? i guess the lower numbers since sf is sure of it. sf says on 4/Apr/07
I still have to disagree and stick with 5'8" to 5'9" claims. He has NOT always been listed as 5'10". What one person said makes sense, though, and that it varies over time. I don't know about Spidey vs. Daredevil, but I do know in scores of Amazing Spider-Man comics he is listed as 5'8" to 5'9", always referred to as a smaller guy, a little guy, not that big But, as one person said, as the comics progressed and Spidey got more "studly", and popular,they did make him look bigger and better-looking, even though he was supposed to be shorter. I even noticed this when reading the comics in 1977, 1978,1980, etc. that he was always protrayed as taller and better-looking as the comic got more popular, etc. So, I'm sure he's been listed as taller as the comics progressed. His original height was only 5'8" to 5'9". Also, as one person pointed out, he was supposed to be an average guy, more in line with average heights of the 60's. He was a science nerd, not athletic, etc.
Bottom line, though, Maquire was a good choice, true to the comics. Ask yourself why they cast such an average, short guy, cause that's what Peter Parker originally was and I believe Stan Lee was pretty passionate about keeping the the Spider-man movies pretty true to form. they could have hired any great-looking, tall actor, and they chose Maguire - nuff said.
Sorry, if I appear argumentative, but Spidey is one thing I know and after reading hundreds for over 30 years, I can't tell you how many times he is casually referred to as 5'8" to 5'9" in the comics... Jordan says on 3/Apr/07
I am an avid Spidey fan and Spder-man has always been listed at 5'10 and 165lbs or 167lbs. Belive it or not Dr. Ock is always listed at 5'9 in the comics but Alfred Molina( Who played Ock in Spider-2) is 6'2 and about 260lbs. glenn says on 2/Apr/07
thats far back enough and prooves my point.at least that it varies.thanks parker. |
