Tom Hanks Height
Tom Hanks height: 6 ft 0 in (183 cm)

US Actor from The Da Vinci Code. One thing Hanks does in photos and in his movies is know how to hold a good posture. I think he is around 6ft, although one actor on The Green Mile says his impression of the star is that he's short: "I'm 5'11" and I am taller than he is. It was very surprising." although his son Colin said that at 6ft 1 he was taller than his dad.

Tom Hanks: 5 ft 11.25 in/181 cm (PEAK), 5 ft 11 in/180 cm
Leonardo Di Caprio: 5 ft 11 in/180 cm
Bruce Willis: 5 ft 11 in/180 cm (PEAK), 5 ft 10.75 in/180 cm (TODAY)
Denzel Washington: 5 ft 11.75 in/182 cm
Colin Hanks: 6 ft 0.5 in/184 cm

yeah i can buy that
dmeyer says on 29/Jan/12
i have seen the guy enaugh to think he is over 183cm or under 181.5cm so 5 ft 11.5-6 ft covers this guy
Dmeyer says on 28/Jan/12
Considering i CAN be 181.2-181.3cm night Hanks was defenetly nô taller than 183cm With a chance of dipping a haïr under 183cm like 182.5cm dinner
Mathew says on 27/Jan/12
Supposedly he was mentioned at 5'11" by AMC as notes earlier on this page. I've always thought 5'11". He's been described as 5'11" a lot, and looked it in his movies. Dmeyer seemed to think he was no less than 5'11.5", so I guess maybe I underestimated him by .5". I think he's a little under 6' rather than a little over. 181/182 cm would be a decent listing to me, I don't think he's 183/184.
steven says on 11/Jan/12
i agree 5'9.5 with shrimp. if he is 6'0 there won't be the case someone 5'11 say he is shorter.
Silent d says on 10/Jan/12
Jens peterson what shoes did he have on and did you measure yourself? 5 foot 9.5 is a joke mr killer shrimp. 6 foot.
Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP says on 8/Jan/12
He's 5'9.5" MAX, possibly even 5'9" flat. 6'0" for Hanks is ridiculous. He was clearly shorter than Denzel Washington who is 5'10.5" at best, despite Hanks having footwear advantage.

5'9.5" MAX for Hanks.

Silent d says on 29/Dec/11
He was definately taller than leonardo dicaprio in catch me if you can. He always looked 6 foot. I meant 5 foot 10 or under are crazy A-Jax. He is one of the most humble and real actors left. He wouldn't lie about his height like many other actors and actresses. Maybe he lost height due to old age. If his 6 foot 1 son is taller than him by more than an inch than 182cm is right on. I'll stick with 6 foot. He never looked 5 foot 10.
Jennifer Cunningham says on 28/Dec/11
Tom Hanks is taller than me. He's 6 ft., and I'm 5 ft 7. I really like him. He's on The Polar Express.
Jens Peterson says on 24/Dec/11
Tom came to see one of my shows and we got to take pictures with him. I'm 6'0 and he was taller than me.
dmeyer says on 22/Dec/11
in person he is not under 5 ft 11.5 not over 6 ft 0.25 that was 8 years ago 182-183cm covers this guy he isnt 181cm or 184cm it is hard to judge someone height precisely but within 1cm

TH is 5 ft 11 in/180 cm! never been over!
A-Jax says on 11/Dec/11
@ Silent d.

He can pass for 5'11". An inch isn't much to be off by.
jake, 1.82 m- 1.83 m says on 19/Nov/11
His peak height was 6ft (1.83 m) for sure. Now at 55, he might be 5ft 11.75 in (182 cm).
Silent d says on 16/Nov/11
6 foot. People saying 5 foot 11 or under are out of their mind.
Gregory says on 13/Nov/11
He barely reaches 5´11.5" in dress shoes. I think 5´10" or 5´10.5" is fine.
nice guy says on 6/Nov/11
5'11 in dress shoes
Dmeyer says on 31/Oct/11
Hé didnt seem over 6'0 in person
LAN Jiao says on 24/Oct/11
denzel was 3-4cm shorter than chris pine. so tom hanks might be 5'10 in real.. because pine could't be higher than 6'0 at min. denzel is 5'11.
HULK says on 17/Oct/11
6FT IN PRIME MAYBE But next to Dezel Washington Who's 184-6'0.5
He looks 181-182 nothing more

jake, 1.82 m says on 18/Sep/11
6ft (1.83 m) peak is fair.
James says on 12/Sep/11
At night at his peak could have dipped down too 5'11.75?
lan jiao says on 7/Sep/11
i think 181cm for tom hanks. his son colin hanks was 185cm had much often apear 1,5inch taller than his dad tom.
Maximus Meridius says on 3/Sep/11
Rob is there a chance Tom Hanks was 6ft 1in out of bed when he was younger he would barley reach 6ft 1in out of bed now probably more like 6f 0.75in out of bed now.
James says on 3/Sep/11
Tom Hanks 6'0 (183cm)
Bruce Willis 5'11 (180cm)

Bruno would only be 181-182cm in the morning.

Tom Hanks might be 5'11.75 nowadays?
Legend says on 27/Aug/11
5'11 peak and Willis is a little shorter. Bruce Willis is 5'10.75 Max peak.

i actualy never saw him as big as 6 ft 0.5 in to me he looked either my height 5 ft 11.5 or max 0.75 in taller like 6 ft 0.25 he mostly apeared 6 ft tall from when i met him 6 years ago he was exactly 6 ft like anywere 5 ft 11.75 6 ft 0.25 very close to my height no shorter than 5 ft 11.5 no taller than 6 ft 0.25 , i remember him looking noticably shorter than a 186cm actor on the set and looing only 4 in over 5 ft 7.5-8 stanly tucci , very similar height to mine i consider people 5 ft 11 to 6 ft similar height to mine and he was in that range , i consider 6 ft near enaugh my height
James says on 19/Aug/11
Demeyer saw him between 5'11.75-6'0.5. He's 6ft.
JohnnyRB says on 18/Aug/11
in Money Pit he is the same height with 5ft11 Joe Mantegna. i guess he never was 6ft.
Hansen says on 17/Aug/11
i think e 5ft11 actor look him shorter when he slouch. lol. he is at least 5ft11 , i believe not under that 180.0cm doted line.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 16/Aug/11
183cm makes sense if his son Colin is 186cm...
Mr. Tempus says on 14/Aug/11
Some people always says dumb things LIKE oh i am 5'4 and he was like 7 inches taller than me, he was so ridiculously short, or iam 5'11 and iam taller than he is by .25 inches he is sooo short. He was 5'11.5 and nowdays probably a weak 5'11.

Saw Tom Hanks in person at a Walgreens shortly after Splash. He was cornered by my then 6 yr old daughter. I stood at most a foot from him, shooing my thrilled daughter away.He is absolutely NOT 6 feet tall. The man had on elevator, designer, Adida-type shoes.He wasn't too happy that I couldn't take my eyes off of his shoes. You could see the arches on the inside of the shoes as he was dodging my daughter. He's clearly diminuitive. I am 5'2". He's maybe 5'6".He pays good$ for his stilts...

HAHAHA...OOOOKKKAAAYYYY.
James says on 11/Aug/11
He was never an easy 6ft. Just about that mark but never taller in the afternoon.
Spence says on 9/Aug/11
5'11 is ridiculous easy 6 feet at peak..I think he is still close to it.
James says on 7/Aug/11
179cm when he's 80.

Probably 5'11.75 (182cm) now in 2011. Might have been 6'0 (183cm) when he was younger. Give it 5 more years and he will probably be 181-182cm

Still standing tall at 182-183cm in his mid 50's.
dmeyer says on 23/Jul/11
bambi i me both leo and hanks , they are both near 6 ft , hanks might be 0.5 taller but has better posture than leo
Danimal says on 20/Jul/11
Was shorter than 6'0"-6'1" Geena Davis in A League of Their Own. I think Tom Hanks was 5'11" at his peak.
jake says on 20/Jul/11
182 cm for Tom and 185 cm for Colin are probably on the money estimates.
James says on 18/Jul/11
At times in the Money Pit could look 182cm.
Legend says on 17/Jul/11
Rampage is wrong again...
Bambi says on 17/Jul/11
Eh I think Leo diCaprio is 6 ft and Hanks is 6ft 1 or 2. In the movie Catch Me If You Can, they're both in the office and Hanks is about 1 inch or so taller than Leo.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 6/Jul/11

183cm afternoon
182cm evening

6ft0.5 isn't impossible when you see him next to Bruce Willis

Depends on the picture. 5'10.5" isn't impossible either when 5'11" max Bruce Willis sometimes:

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 2/Jul/11
James, that is just ridiculous. Colin Hanks is at least 6ft1
Jonas says on 30/Jun/11
About half an inch shorter than Kelsey Grammer so 6' is right for him
James says on 25/Jun/11
Hanks might be 5'11 (180cm) these days. maybe 5'11.25 (181cm) when younger. As for his son Colin I think he's 5'11.75 (182cm) not the 6'1 he claims. maybe colin can give off a 6'1 illusion cause he is very lanky and skinny. often 182cm men who are skinny can get guesst at 185cm.
Maximus Meridius says on 23/Jun/11
He is 6ft flat in Dragnet joe friday said he's 6ft 165 pounds he wasn't much heavier than that at the end of castaway he was about 172 pounds.
Terryman says on 23/Jun/11
180 to 182cm max peak!
Mathew says on 21/Jun/11
Legend says on 20/Jun/11
He was as tall if not shorter Daryl Hannah in Splash. He was 5'11 max peak.

5'11" he is. Maybe just a shade over maximum, 180 - 181 cm peak I think. Really not 6', and I don't think he ever even claimed to be.
Legend says on 20/Jun/11

Just saw a "Family Ties" episode where Michael Gross stands next to him. I thought he looked at least 4 inches taller than Hanks and Hanks looked 4 inches taller than Meredith Baxter. Maybe Hanks is only 5'11.5.

I see 6ft as being the start of tall

In Reality 5'10.75 (180cm) is the start of tall, 5'10 (178cm) is borderline tall, 6ft (183cm) is legit tall, 5'11ers and 5'10ers just make it seem smaller than it is by claiming it.
Lenad is sexy says on 13/Jun/11
during his younger days i would say he measured at a solid 183cm during the day
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 12/Jun/11

on screen looks 5'11 quite often and even 5'10.5 in Catch Me if you Can. he looked taller in his early carrier like when he was skinny.

rampage 5'11 is the start of tall.
Mathew says on 2/Jun/11
e says on 5/May/11
shorter than justin timberlake..put down to 5-10 3/4 if you want to be obsessed or 5-11

I think anywhere 180 - 182 peak is fair.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 25/May/11
5"11 is the upper end of average
James says on 17/May/11
5'11 is not small or average its tall.

184cm max peak

I heard someone saw him at a restaurant mentioning he was not that small but small....how is 5-11 small? that's more than average height...average height w/o shoes is 5-9
James says on 2/May/11
I have heard a lot that this guy is barely 6ft
Lenad is sexy says on 1/May/11
I really dont think hes over 6ft0 today. Probably solid 183cm peak and 182cm today
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 28/Apr/11
He did look 184cm in Forrest Gump
dmeyer says on 27/Apr/11
when in picures with his son he can look 0.5 to 1 in smaller then in a video his son looks mush taller like 2.5 in of course there is no more than 1 to 1.5 in between them but in pics hanks stands as tall as possible and loos about 184cm at times weak 6 ft nowadays seems right , 7 years ago i met him and he wasnt much over or under 6 ft
Mathew says on 23/Apr/11
Legend says on 18/Apr/11
So I think he's 5'10.5...

I'd agree he's under 6', always has been. Strong 5'11" MAX.

I had to comment on here because I just finished watching splash and Tom Hanks was not even an inch taller than 5'10 Daryl Hannah when they were walking side by side and she was barefoot.
Johan Cruyff says on 6/Apr/11
Tom Hanks' heights are:

Morning (out of bed)= 6' (1.83 m)
After 1,5-3 hrs= 5'11.7" (1.82 m)
After 5-10 hrs= 5'11.25 (1.81 m)

I don't think he's taller! I spoke with many people who claimed he looks around 5'10" so i don't think he has ever been over 6 feet
James says on 27/Mar/11
5 inches under Morse? More like 3.5.

Tom Hanks 6'0 (183cm)
David Morse 6'3.5 (192cm)
ikbtops says on 1/Mar/11
5'11.5" barefoot. Might have been 6' in his prime.
Mathew says on 26/Feb/11
James says on 20/Feb/11
I don't think Hanks has ever been over 6'0 given how much he was towered by 6'4 David Morse. Some debate if Morse is even 6'4......

Yeah he was a sure 5" under Morse.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 25/Feb/11
His son Colin Hanks looks to be 186-187cm

on amc i saw forest gump with the bubbles (info about shooting the film and additonal facts. it said that he is 5'11''. it was said in the scene where he picks up bubba across the jungle, saying that the guy that plays bubba is 6'3'' and tom hanks being at 5'11'' had to use cables to hold him.

This makes good sense, I believe that he's 5'11".

I would have believed a touch over 6`0 back during Philadelphia and Forrest Gump. Nowadays, probably a flat 6`0.
Lenad is sexy says on 17/Jan/11
I'd say a solid 183cm in his day. Looked maybe 1/2 an inch shorter than 184cm Denzel Washington in philadelphia
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 1/Jan/11
Hanks does look around 6"1 in the Road to Perdition
Legend says on 31/Dec/10
He's 5'11.
Larc186-188cm says on 27/Dec/10
6'0-6'0.25 and there are no lifts.
Prince Apollo says on 27/Dec/10
i usually give people their best height but tom is not 6 FEET TALL. the lift theory seems very evident as in his earlier movies like that one with the dog, sorry i don't rember the name he made actors that are 6 foot tops seem 6'3" i think after appearing short he started to wear lifts in his later movies i think toms peak reality out of bed height is 5'10" to a strong 5'10" tops...
jamieorr4 says on 24/Dec/10
tom Hanks wears lifts
Mathew says on 22/Dec/10
Agree with dmeyer on accounts that Hanks can appear 6' and is about the same height as Bill Paxton. I do think though, that he is more likely 181 cm, or a strong 5'11".
James says on 17/Dec/10
184cm in the morning at his peak. Look at him with Denzel Washington that is not a strong 6ft.
Spence says on 15/Dec/10
184 peak 183 now...slightly over 6 peak
James says on 10/Dec/10
I agree Demeyer 5'11.5 today and 5'11.75-6ft peak. I think Tom was always one of those 6ft guys that dropped to 182cm at night. Travolta and Denzel were boht strong 6ft guys in there 20's. Look at him in the Green Mile in the late 90's with David Morse who is 192-193cm in height hanks looks a legitimate 4 inches shorter so defenintly 182-183cm in that film. maybe in his 20's hanks was 183cm on the nose though but i think for most of his film carrier has fluctuate between 5'11.5-6ft.

Tom hanks at best was a solid 6ft at his peak but certianly never a strong 6ft like Travolta and Denzel.

I doubt the 6'1 listing for hanks and i even heard 6'2 for him once. today barely 6ft.
dmeyer says on 7/Dec/10
but he mostly wears 1.1 in shoes and at times 1.2 to 1.5
dmeyer says on 7/Dec/10
hanks and paxton realy looks identical in height both close to 6 ft
dmeyer says on 7/Dec/10
still looks 6 ft but his shoes are getting bigger he use to wear 1 ti 1.1 in now nearer 1.4 1.5 in
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 6/Dec/10
Still looks a solid 6"0
dmeyer says on 2/Dec/10
i think denzel and tom hanks and travolta they could be all around 5 ft 11.5 mark nowadays wath do you think rob it is grat i am similar height to them
dmeyer says on 2/Dec/10
i have looked at recent pics he wears 1.5 in heeled dress boots alot so can appear 6 ft even if he is about 5 ft 11.5 now and he has great posture i think he is 6 ft peak 5 ft 11.5 now he is over 50 by that age people do drop no less than 1cm rob could hanks be nearer 5 ft 11.5 now since he wears bigger fotwear and dosnt look over 6 ft he even struggles to look as tall as 5 ft 11.5 paxton
Anonymous says on 1/Dec/10
hm mathew maybe you are wrong because i saw a picure with him and lucy lawless who is 1.78 he was about 3-4 cm taller
Mathew says on 24/Nov/10
5'11", never has been 6'. Could be a fraction over peak 5'11".
James says on 30/Oct/10
he was never 6'1
maximus meridius says on 29/Oct/10
He is defiantly 6ft 1in not 6ft leonardo dicaprio is 6ft tom hanks had 1 inch on leonardo dicaprio in catch me if you can
maximus meridius says on 29/Oct/10
If tom hanks is 6ft he was defiantly 6ft 1in in his younger years he must have shrunk by the now
James says on 26/Oct/10
He did not look 6'0 in Bachelar Party as well.
