How tall is Tobey Maguire

Tobey Maguire's Height

5ft 7 ¾ (172.1 cm)

American actor best known for films such as Spider-man, Pleasantville, The Cider House Rules and Seabiscuit. On the Today show he talked with Matt Lauer and Jill Rappaport about the aforementioned Seabiscuit, saying: "You know, Red was tall for a jockey. He was five seven, I'm five eight, so we're pretty close."

There was a lot of transformation that had to happen. I'm 5ft 8ins and Red Pollard was an inch shorter.

Any jockey who is that tall is obviously going to really fight with weight, so I went on a huge reduction plan in order to get to the place where I could play this part.

I weighed around 160 lbs when it started. I thought if I got to 150 I would look gaunt enough to sell it and I ended getting down to 137.

Yeah I agree Toby is definitely 5’8 flat and Tom holland is probably 5’6 in a half like you mentioned on the site.
Weak5'11james said on 22/May/23
Tobeys definitely a Weak 5'8... I'll check how tall he looks compared to very weak 5'7 Tom Holland..
shoelifts said on 28/Mar/23
Holland is wearing lifts in his shoes while there is no evidence for Tobey
That's a good listing Rob !
Great actor and very honest about his height
Lenad 5ft9.75in said on 18/Feb/23
This could very well be accurate. Tobey looks a good inch shorter than steve carrell who is listed as 5'9.

@Otto

I'm pretty much your height. 172-173 in the morning, 171.5-172 after a few hours, and I stop at 170.9-171.4

I claim 171 cm, so I think you should claim to be just under 171 cm, as you don't quite fall to 170 but you're still under 171
Otto said on 18/Aug/22
Rob, in the morning I'm 172cm, in the evening (about 7-8 PM) I'm 170,5. Could you tell me, what should I answer when I'm asked about my height? 172 or 170,5?
Ramy said on 2/Jul/22
Rob , why not the full 5"8 thou, just wanted to know ur reasons behind not giving him the full 5"8
Editor Rob
Just felt he might fall into weak 5ft 8 territory.
Zach Catselbow said on 21/Jun/22
Rob, you can do what you want but personally, I think he should be listed at 5’8” since you think he’s waking up close to half an inch over it. For example, someone like Chris Evans is listed at 6’0” even though you might think he could fall under it at night. I think Tobey has the same case except 4 inches shorter.
Zach Catselbow said on 16/Jun/22
Hey Rob, what do you think he wakes up at?
Editor Rob
Maybe close to 8.5
Yanis said on 13/May/22
This listing seems spot on. In No Way Home he looked about 171-172, but his peak height was definitely around 172-173.
heightPoirot said on 7/May/22
i think 5'7 3/4 is really bang on. im sure he could get 5'8 flat at an early doctors appntment so his claim is very honest!
John moss said on 6/Mar/22
Yeah 5'7 seems accurate.
Slim 6'0.25 said on 28/Feb/22
He looks 171cm

IMO a small downgrade is necessary
Tall Sam said on 24/Feb/22
Pretty hard to believe Garfield is only just under 3 inches taller than him, Maguire looks pretty close to 5’7” a lot.
D.O said on 6/Feb/22
Some people in the comments are saying Maguire looked around the same height as Holland in Spider-Man: No Way Home. But I think what’s good to keep in mind is Tom Holland wears things (I think they’re called lifts) inside his shoes to appear taller which is why he looks a lot closer in height to his love interest’s (Zendaya) height in the movies. I don’t see a reason why Maguire would wear those in the movie if he’s not the one with the taller love interest.
Jolapizza said on 1/Feb/22
A good 3-3,5 inches shorter than DiCaprio in Catsby.
But I agree about a weak 5'8 for him. I wouldn't see him as a strong 5'8. Id say 5'7 1/2 to 5'7 3/4
Zach Catselbow said on 31/Jan/22
Hey Rob, after seeing Tobey in No Way Home, would you say he closer to a 5’7.5” or 5’8” guy? I know you already have 5’7.75” as the listing for him, but I’m just interested to hear which range he would more closely fall towards.
Editor Rob
Well I think that is the range I still feel he looks (5ft 7.5-8), I am not sure he's a solid 5ft 8 guy though.
Rizzi said on 14/Jan/22
Hi Rob, How tall is 172.72?
Editor Rob
Bang on 5ft 8
Mrs. Castro said on 27/Dec/21
Looked around 5'8 in "Spider-Man: No Way Home".

This listage is pretty accurate.
Zutkil said on 27/Dec/21
Looked a vero strong 5ft9in in last Spiderman film.
Darius said on 24/Dec/21
Since Tom Holland height is listed as 5'6.5" now, I don't think Maguire can't be like 1.25" taller than him...But maybe Tobey Maguire is just taller ,but in No Way Home, it didn't really seem to give the impression of Tobey being that taller than Tom! IMO, I think Tobey is around 5'7.5" max - 5'7" min! Or somewhere around that....But this 172cm listing always seemed fair for Maguire until he appeared with Holland!
highly suspect said on 21/Dec/21
Looks right around 5’8” in No Way Home. Clearly taller than Tom and held his own next to Andrew. NWH solidified that Tobey is still the best Spider-Man
Felix013 said on 1/Nov/21
Hi rob, his weight in spiderman? 150 lbs? Near?
Editor Rob
155 I'd have guessed
Bobby said on 20/Sep/21
Was he ever close to 5'9 when he played Spider-Man in 2002? I always thought he seemed fairly tall, or at least, quite average. He does seem remarkably shorter in Spider-Man 2, though. Of course, since James Franco is a weak 5'11, I thought that Maguire was around 2 inches shorter. He gave off a 5'10ish impression to me in the first movie. I wonder if he wore a bit of lifts to make his character look taller for the role. It's not uncommon. Spider-Man is 5'10 in the comics.
Zach Catselbow said on 10/Sep/21
Do you think you would ever list him at the rare 5’7 7/8” mark Rob?
Editor Rob
I'm not sure, but I found another quote of him mentioning 160 lbs down to 137 for seabiscuit.
Matt99 said on 31/Aug/21
Tobey will always be my favourite Spider-Man. Looks solid 172cm range next to James Franco in Spider-Man trilogy. Who’s your favourite Spider-Man rob?

Rob who do think is the tallest between Tobey and Tom Holland? Both are said to be about 5'8, but its hard to tell.
Editor Rob
for me, Tobey would measure taller...will be interesting to see if they do have some future footage together!
Zach Catselbow said on 24/Dec/20
What would you say Maguire’s mid day height is out of these options Rob?

A) 172 cm - 172.5 cm
B) 172.5 cm
C) 172.5 cm - 173 cm
D) 173 cm
Editor Rob
A-B range I'd go for
Zeeps said on 5/Dec/20
Rob, compared to this listing, what do you think Maguire's night height is?
Editor Rob
at worst another little fraction under this mark of 172cm

5ft8 his proportions make him look shorter
Catselbow Zach said on 15/Nov/20
Rob Paul, would you consider Maguire to be closer 5’8” than to 5’7”?
Editor Rob
Much closer to 5ft 8 from what I've seen.
Lenad 5ft9.75in said on 2/Jul/20
If you watch pleasentville, he seems at least 5 inches and max 6 inches taller than reese witherspoon. Witherspoon definitely isn't over 5'2 and probably more in the 5'1 range. I think Maguire is a strong 5'7. 171-172cm range.

I believe his claim of 5'8".. he looks a couple of inches taller than 5'6".5 Jonah Hill whom, in the photo, is strategically placing his arm around Tobey's shoulders to elevate himself but still you can tell he's shorter. I admire him... he's one of the few actors whose height claim is legit.
Obsessed With Height said on 13/Mar/20
He looks 171 - 171.25 with Leonardo DiCaprio
Kieran S said on 15/Feb/20
5 foot 7 and three quarters. 172.
youknowww said on 10/Feb/20
I always thought he looked a pretty good 5'8" when I was kid and in my early teens. Especially in the Spider-man movies. I guess I thought that because he looked so... I don't know average. Like not tall or not like short just awfully average maybe a little under. I still kind of have a feeling he could be 5'8" but I'll trust this listing
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 17/Sep/19
Rob, don't you think Tobey look more a full 5'8 with 5'11 1/4 DiCaprio?
Editor Rob
I still have him almost 5ft 8, I think overall that was a figure that fitted him.
Jesse5ft11 said on 12/Jun/19
@Terry he is 5’10 but oddly most people want him to be small for the sake of making him more of an relatable underdog, spider-man should always be 5’10.
Legit 6'2 said on 3/Oct/18
Honest 5.8
Great actor
Lenad 5ft9.75in said on 26/Aug/18
I think Tobey is a strong 5'7 guy. Like a weak 171cm.
Arthur! said on 13/Jun/18
Rob, 2 questions. Who is your favourite Spider-Man? Mine is definitely Tobey.

And what do you think about his proportions? He is under average for sure, but he never looked short when in the Spidey suit. He looked very average.
Editor Rob
I would say for me Tom Holland, Tobey Maguire and then Andrew Garfield...but there's really not a huge amount in it for me.
Tobey isn't far off average, I mean I put him almost 5ft 8 and proportionally he comes across as being near average.

Big head, body proportions and likely very low footwear

@Jordan87

Usually a 5'7"-5'8" guy wouldn't be towered over like that. Probably he was just in a situation where there were a lot of taller guys.

172 seems right, he isnt much below the 5'8" mark
Darius said on 6/Sep/17
I think he is a 5'7.5" guy. Maybe little less by a fraction that would put him roughly 171 cm.
Cameron said on 31/Jul/17
Yup, typical weak 5'8".
Nacho said on 30/Jul/17
5’6’'

Any picture with him standing next to Leo has him looking at least 4 inches shorter.

In reality, height differences of 2 inches are negligible unless someone measures with a tape. But in instances where the height difference is easily observable, then we’re talking about at least 4 inches in height disparity.
Heylo said on 29/Jul/17
Looked a weak 5'9 in Spider-Man in terms of proportions. Not disputing the fact that he is slightly below 5'8.
Evan said on 11/Jul/17
5'7 stronger bro
Matt said on 9/Jul/17
I never for a second saw him as a below average height guy in the Spider-Man trilogy. He always looked normal in terms of height in which he is, as a strong 5'7 isn't short but again there was never a moment of him looking like a guy with a lack of stature. 5'7-5'10 range is perfect for Spider-Man.
TheChemSpark said on 9/Jul/17
@jyr If you never guess that he was short, then maybe 5'8 isn't actually short. Maybe society altered the way that you see height. Something for you to think about.
Aaron said on 7/Jul/17
I agree with the 5'8" claim. MAYBE a weak 5'8"
John Davis said on 2/Jul/17
@jyr that's probably because he's not and society has changed your perception on height
ronald said on 16/Jun/17
looks 4 inches shorter than 5-10 leonardo dicaprio
WeeburaiJones said on 3/Jun/17
He's about four inches shorter than Dicaprio, give or take a quarter an inch. A 5'8" claim from him is close enough to his actual height to be believable, but I'm not sure enough to give a guess.
Anon said on 15/Mar/17
Barely over 5'7
Lenad 5ft9.75in said on 26/Jan/17
I reckon 171cm is closer, he was listed at 5'7 early in his career and he looks 5'7ish to me
Csimpson 6ft said on 6/Jan/17
5ft 7.75 is a good listing but do you think 5ft 7.5 is also possible Rob? In the Spider-man films Tobey looks to be somewhere in the 5ft 7 range to near 5ft 8.
Editor Rob
it's only a fraction less than what I give him, so it is of course arguable, with any listing you could make a case above or below...some it might not be much, others, maybe there is a bigger room for argument, like plus or minus half inch, or 3/4 inch in really controversial celebrities!
Darius said on 3/Jan/17
Rob, do you think this Tobey has a chance of being 5'7" or thereabouts?
Also he appeared quite shorter than Downey in wonder boys if you have seen that movie. Also appeared shorter than Topher Grace. My guess is 5'7".
Editor Rob
Darius, I think he clears that 5ft 7 mark, it's a question how much really.
184-182 said on 23/Nov/16
Yeah this is a pretty good listing. Made James Franco look tallish in Spiderman. I'm thinking they used angles to make Toby look taller at times, because he looks more than 2" taller than Kirsten Dunst in my opinion.
josh jeffords said on 16/Oct/16
No one in the history of anything says he is 5 8 and is 5 11 also no one 5 11 looks 5 6..
Tobey is a small guy always short compared with other less than 5 10 guys he looks small.
The real spiderman character is small. the later 90s version is 6 foot 5 10 for amazing spidey and yes andrew did it well.
Tobey is a much better actor but comes in well under 5 8 maybe 5 7 he mad an aged jeff bridges look 6 3.
Bobby said on 13/Oct/16
Toby always seemed like such a small guy to me, height wise of course. I'd say he's about 5'8 or 5'9. Keep in mind that he's like 40 now, so he's shrunk. He was probably 5'9.5 in his peak as he seemed similar in height to James Franco. On a side note, I'd like to meet all these alleged 6ft to 6'2 actors, as that is my height range.
S.J.H said on 26/Sep/16
If he claim 5'8 most likely he was 5'7 tops
Chris said on 18/Sep/16
Leonardo 173cm, except of course you need to remember that Peter Parker is 5'10 meaning the Andrew Garfield was much closer in height than either Tobey Macguire or Tom Holland.

Based on other factors, Tom Holland does pull off a great peter and spidey
Lenad 5ft9.75in said on 19/Jul/16
i'm almost positive that him and tom cruise would look the same height in a photo
Darius said on 5/Jul/16
Rob, what is your estimate for the lowest height for Maguire on a bad day? Is he as tall as cruise?
JarvisOS said on 29/Jun/16
5'7.5" for him and 5'7.75 for downey
Sean73 said on 20/Mar/16
I scrolled down about half way to see if my comment copied anyone and it didn't so here goes, Maguire in the movie, "The Wonder Boys," is standing next to Robert Downey Jr, and Maguire is in slippers. RDJ is in regular shoes, back then, 15 yrs ago, I don't think he was the lift wearer he is now, and Maguire is only a 0.5" shorter than RDJ. If this listing is correct, Toby is probly 68" on the nose in slippers making RDJ 68.5" in sneakers.
Jack said on 7/Jan/16
I'm 6' and towered him when I met him, both of us in sneakers. He was very close to my mother's height: 5'5 - 5'6
IronFist said on 5/Dec/15
Toby wrote: " He's about 5'10-5'11, i recently met him I'm 5'8 and he was taller then i expected "

Well, that's because he was wearing lifts in his shoes and you didn't notice. Tobey Maguire definitely wears lifts, there's so many photos of him at inconsistent heights.
adeyp said on 23/Nov/15
mande2013
It depends on a number of factors, whether 172/173 is a 'good' height or not. If a guy's ultra good-looking like James Dean, then strong 5'7 going onto 5'8 is fine, but I can understand how 183 would be ideal for someone with only average looks. In short, physical attractiveness is not based on height alone, although it is a factor. A 5'6.5 guy with 9+ facial looks and an otherwise fit body is in a better position dating wise than a 5'9/5'10 guy whose looks and overall physical attractiveness are a 5 or a 6 at best
-----------------
I'd agree that height could be more of an issue if someone wasn't good looking, good body, strong personality, successful etc. but someone of the same height who has these attributes, his height wouldn't be a big consideration. I think overtime anyway most people would see past the initial physical attributes when choosing a spouse, and would look for loyalty, reliability, sense of humour etc.
Toby said on 1/Nov/15
He's about 5'10-5'11, i recently met him I'm 5'8 and he was taller then i expected

Tobey Maguire is 174 cm.
hi said on 27/Jul/14
he looks 5'9, he is about 3 inches taller than kirsten dunst in the spider-man movies
Amaze said on 26/Jul/14
Tobey for sure is more than 170. Maybe you guys that dislike him are saying hes 5'5-6? Andrew garfield is 5'10.5 or 179cm. I'd say tobey is 172 for sure. Hes 173 out of bed 172 during day and 171 before bed. Nothing less than 5'7.5. Below 5'7 is ridiculous. Hes a strong 5'7 guy going onto 5'8.


JAJ i am around that height and i can definitely tell you its not a good one. Anything below 5'9 is not good but 5'9 isnt ideal either. Im saying this from the UK. Ok being 5'7 - 8 isnt that bad bad like obviously 5'6 5'4 guys are really unfortunate but 5'7 8 is not a good height either. 5'7 is short and 8 is below average but not short. I wish i could be be 6'0. I am like tobey if not a tiny bit bigger(im 173) i'd say 175/6 is where it gets ok. Around 178 it gets better. 180 even better. 183 bang on. Maybe your from a very short country ? I dunno but 1.72 is definitely not a good height.
JAJ said on 3/Jul/14
1.72 is definitely good height. Maybe Aki is from Holland or Scandinavia and for him 1.72 is a short one :D

Maguire looks 1.70 with Willem Dafoe (listed 1.70).
Realist said on 8/Jun/14
Rob 171 listing would be better 5'7.5". Looks about 2.5-3 in less than Franco.
James Edward Crowley Maximus Meridius said on 3/Jun/14
@AKI he is not short he is a oak height he is below average height anything above 168cm is what is called below average height if he was less then 170cm he would be short he is not far from average height.

I debated posting this picture, because of the elevated camera angle, and not everyone is standing right next to each other but Kristen Wiig (5'5") and Tobey in this shot, but to the left is 5'4" Haley Joel Osment, and to the right 5'5" David Spade:

Not sure what can be discerned from this shot.
Gustavo said on 6/Feb/14
172 cm is correct but i think he is more about 172,5 cm ( 172 173 ) he have a long neck same as tom. And 172 173 174 is for me same maybe shoulder is difference, if 172 is short than is 173 174 too short.
Balrog said on 19/Jan/14
He looks a solid 3in shorter than Franco and Topher, 171cm would be better.

If he was 5'8.5 he would be taller the Carey Mulligan even with her in heels.Same for Oscar Isaac.

Definitely no shorter than 5'7", just look at cole's pictures. He's probably just over 5'8" in the morning, and about 5'7.5" at night. Rob's listing is spot on.
Lorne said on 1/Aug/13
171cm. He's 5'7.5. Can really look 5'7.25 at times. Look at him with 6ft Dylan Baker, 179-180cm JK Simmons... He simply isn't a 172cm kind of guy.
Nica said on 12/Jul/13
5'7.5-5'8 sounds about right.
cole said on 25/Jun/13
He is around 171-172 cm, rather than 173. But that kind of listing for Maguire also contributes to making Leonardo Dicaprio 180 flat at most. If Leo were to really be 182, Maguire would be 174 cm, which he clearly is not. There is mostly about 8 cm between them in any picture you can find. If Maguire gets a 5'7.75 listing, the most Leo could be is 5'11.

Didn't look all that much shorter than Joe Manganiello in the first Spiderman film. Maybe he really is a liftwearer after all?
Sam said on 6/Mar/13
Quite generous there fa, even Maguire himself claims 5'8".
Bet said on 16/Feb/13
I'll bet his no more than 5'7".
Mikey T said on 28/Jan/13
he is 5'8" just watch Seabiscuit. Chris Copper claims 5'10" and he was about 2 inches taller than Tobey
Arch Stanton said on 14/Jan/13
He looks 5'7 range to me.
bodwaya said on 12/Sep/12
in pleasanville he got towered by 5 foot 10 joan allen. 5 foot 7 seems right. Plus he always looks shorter then 5 foot 9 actors hes with.
Willy said on 9/Sep/12
5'7.5'' certainly isn't out of the question, but in all three of the Spider-Man movies, James Franco seemed to have a bit more than two, but not three, inches on Maguire. So, the 5'7.75'' listing for Tobey is accurate as long as James is 178 cm which I believe he is. But nothing over it.
roses said on 1/Aug/12
Seen him in real life before and he is not even close to 5'8". I would put him at a solid 5'6". There is no way he is taller than that.
Ciccio said on 12/Jun/12
Met him in person, he's not under 5'7. I think 5'7.75 is right
mcfan said on 3/Jan/12
I changed my mind about this guy. I think he wears lifts at times. There's just too many photos where he looks in the 5'6.5 range. I'm not sure.
Lenad said on 2/Dec/11
looks between 3 and 4 inches shorter than weak 5ft11 topher grace and James Franco most of the time
LAN Jiao said on 22/Oct/11
Look 5'7 compare 5'10 chalize theron.
Shaun said on 21/Oct/11
I could believe he is as low as 5'6,5", 5'7" or 170cm seems nearer the mark. He is not much taller as Silent says than Kirsten in flats. He looks shorter than Cruise to me..
Silent d said on 21/Oct/11
Didn't someone say he was shorter than cruise and stiller? Stiller is 168cm so how tall is tobey? In spiderman he is barely taller than kirsten dunst who i think is 165cm. I think tobey at most is 170cm.
Lenad said on 15/Oct/11
i personally think anything more than robs listing is overdoing it.
runt said on 20/Sep/11
They didn't fear casting 5-7.5 Bryce Dallas Howard as a love interest in Spidey 3
Lenad said on 10/Sep/11
I think both Maguire and Cruise are 171-172cm
jake said on 27/Aug/11
Rob do you think there is a chance he is 5ft8 (173 cm)?
Editor Rob
I don't think he's far off it, but can dip below it.
Lenad said on 16/Aug/11
solid 171cm. He doesnt look that short really.
DrJJ said on 7/Aug/11
Another 5'5" and no more.
Lafrich said on 21/Jul/11
Saw him in person one time at a gym. I am 5ft7. No way he is taller than 5ft7. He was shorter than me, but not by much. I'd say 5ft6.5.
rox said on 10/Jul/11
he cant be same as cruise maybe a little shorter ..............5'7.5 is ideal for him
jake said on 27/Jun/11
172 cm is spot on
Lenad said on 14/Jun/11
measured during normal part of day he probably does measure at a solid 171cm
TruebloodFan said on 10/Jun/11
can't see one reason why he couldn't be a weak 5'8.
paul86 said on 7/Jun/11
Its safe to say he's between 5'7.5'-5'8' but more towards 5'8' morning height.
Jack said on 26/Apr/11
Toby is 5'6.5'' to 5'7'' max
BREAL said on 16/Apr/11
Dude, you guys I'm serious, i met James Franco last summer and he towered over me by at LEAST 4 inches and I'm 5'6" So Tobey ain't THAT short...
Rox said on 26/Feb/11
Met him person, no taller than 5'7'' 165lbs.
RICHA said on 6/Feb/11
Look it doesn't matters to me how tall Tobey is.He simply fits the role & I Luv U Tobey.
Anonymous said on 20/Jan/11
5'7'' at maximun. Dafoe is slightly taller than him
Lenad said on 12/Jan/11
Looks 5'7-ish. He still is listed as 5'7 in a few places
leonari said on 2/Jan/11
5'8" is the height his publicist told him to say. Nothing above a flat 5'7. But nothing under either.
Anonymous said on 30/Dec/10
5'7 anything more is being nice
Sam Rick said on 21/Dec/10
Tobey is great actor and all but spiderman is 5'10 and 167 lbs while he is 5'8 and 150 lbs I think this role should have been given to James Franco who has the size,talent and looks.
mcfan said on 13/Dec/10
USYD, if what you're saying is true, I should be 5'11.25 if I practice yoga and not 5'10. The only thing I notice is if I stand straight up against a wall I increase almost a half-inch due to bad posture. People and claims like this are totally FOS.
zac said on 13/Dec/10
I'd say 5'9 because he was almost as tall as James Franco, who's 5'10ish
Lenad said on 29/Nov/10
I'd say 5'7-ish
Anonymous said on 23/Nov/10
Just saw "Brothers". He looks 5'8'' there, maybe even more, but I agree with Boom. You can't really tell how tall an actor is just by watching a movie.
mcfan said 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 said on 5/Jun/09
Tobey is 5'8 in his dreams.
JOSH said 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.
dude said on 25/May/09
spider man, spiderman, here it comes (him) XD
spideyfan said 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 said 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 said 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.
leonari said on 12/May/09
Glenn: Count me in. 5'7" ish the three of us. LOL
leonari said on 10/May/09
I agree with Dylan. Tobey is way closer to 5'7" than 5'8".
Dylan said 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 said on 9/May/09
Not a full 5'8 thats for sure
glenn said 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 said 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 said 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 said 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 said on 25/Apr/09
he was atually 5ft5.5 in real..
Lenad said 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 said 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 said 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
Andrew said on 12/Apr/09
Shorter than Willem Dafoe 5'7. Click Here
Doug said 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 said on 11/Apr/09
No they can't be the same height, Tom Cruise is taller. Maguire is around 170 not 172.
Lenad said on 8/Apr/09
I reckon if Viper was commenting on this page he would say Tobey is 5'4.
Lenad said on 7/Apr/09
Hes not under 5'6 lets establish that
Josh said on 3/Apr/09
I heard his stunt double for the spiderman films was only 5ft 6 and maguire was just slightly taller.
Lenad said on 31/Mar/09
168 min 171 max. 169-170cm.
Pierce Brosnan fan said on 15/Feb/09
maybe 170~173 is right
Leung said 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 said 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.

He's 5 foot 7, no taller.

Id say 5'7 give or take half an inch
the shredder said 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 said 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 said 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 said 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 said on 15/Sep/08
Closer to 5'7. I bet you any money. A downgrade is really needed.
Lenad said 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 said 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.

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 said on 5/Sep/08
a flat 5'7 suits him well. Glenn saw him as a flat 5'6 in dress shoes. Scary.
Annoyed said 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 said on 24/Aug/08
Holy hell!! I didnt think Iron man was 6'3.
Anonymous said 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 said on 15/Aug/08
Just watched 'Spiderman 3'. He doesn't look 5' 8" but it can be difficult to tell in movies.
Complex said 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 said 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.
glenn said 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 said 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 said on 20/Jun/08
sf - September 1964. Spiderman 16, vs Daredevil. Daredevil estimates Spidey's height at 5'10.
sf said 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 said 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.
joey said 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 said 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.

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?
JJD said 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.

In the Spider-man 3 game for PSP it Lists the following in Bios

I'm 5'8 and I'm generally hovering between 65-75 kg, with 73 kg being my most recent weigh-in. This is after spending much of the year not exercising, followed by almost 2 months of 2-3 times a week of intensive(2 hours at a time) exercise sessions.

Calculations: 1 kg=2.24 lb
65-75kg = 145.6-168lb
73kg = 163.52lb

Build-wise, I would look a lot like Peter Parker, with a bit of a gut hang. So yeah, 170 after working out like mad for the role seems right to me.
glenn said on 10/Apr/08
it changes over the years,the height of spiderman.but i agree,the most common was 5-10.but i think sf said otherwise.he is the comic expert here.not me.im no slouch in comics,but certainly not an expert.
Anon2008 said on 9/Apr/08
Just for the guys like sleuth that mentioned Spidey's height: official Marvel website gives Spiderman's height as 5'10".
glenn said on 10/Mar/08
he is 5-7 tops.tops.looking 5-6 in dress shoes when i saw him.
C. said 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 said on 15/Jan/08
5-7 flat with the ablity to look shorter in person and taller in movies.
leonari said on 14/Jan/08
I think 5'7" flat would be most accurate .
dmeyer said 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 said 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 said 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 said on 7/Jan/08
i agree he looks 5-8 in the movies.but in person he was shorter.
glenn said on 7/Jan/08
without shoes estimates is what i give.
Andre said 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 said on 6/Jan/08
With shoes or without Glenn?
glenn said 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 said on 5/Jan/08
Glenn, so this guy is 5'5.5 MAX barefoot??
Gago said 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 said 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 said 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 said on 4/Jan/08
to round it off he definally gotta be 5'8. 5'8 is his max height.
