He must be slightly under 6'2. I never thought he was 6'2 anyway I'd always thought 6'1.

This argument on his height could go on forever lmao. Yaspaa says on 7/Mar/10
The last dozen years or so all footballers heights have suddenly gone up, including Beckhams. P.W says on 19/Feb/10
Vinnie was stated as half an inch over 6 feet at Wimbledon in 1988. Polak says on 15/Feb/10
If he is a weak 6ft 2 then why was it commented in the house on him being so tall there? Just so you know a lot of height charts are wrong. Usually they make people seem more than they are but it can be vica versa as well. James says on 7/Feb/10
Rob 6'1 range maybe?
Click Here Sean says on 2/Feb/10
As per the link below, half way through, the housemates perform a task against a heightchart and Vinnie looks at most 6' 1" and thats with boots on... Shaun says on 30/Jan/10
LOL but if if Vinnie claims 6'2", that's final eh Rob? Rob aint gonna mess with Vinnie and down grade him!! Shaun says on 30/Jan/10
Basshunter in my view does look close to 6'3" and exactly what he claims so Jones in comparison is a weak 6'2". 6'1.5" in my book. Shaun says on 30/Jan/10
Caught a bit of the BB final the other day, thank god its over for good! But Vinnie Jones was standing next to Basshunter who claims 189 and accounting for the hat looked more a 6'1" er. I'd say 187cm is more accurate. Shaun says on 20/Jan/10
Has been barefoot a lot on BB. Looks in the 6'1"-6'2" range. Legit tall. Strong 6'1" weak 6'2" in my book. Probably 187cm. Hugh 190-192cm says on 18/Jan/10
Looked 6"1 tops in Swordfish when slouching. I think a weak 6"2 Yaspaa says on 15/Jan/10
Vinnie had his back to a measuring tape an celeb big brother and he was 6' dead, not sure about the footwear. He's on a new episode of Chuck as well and he looks much shorter than Adam Baldwin. He looks 184 max. miko says on 10/Jan/10
Rob do you believe that he is a flat 6"2?
I would say he is a good solid 6"1, but I'm not sure he's ever given a 6"2 impression. For example, on Big Brother he is clearly at least a couple of inches shorter than the 6"3 Basshunter guy.
I'm a big fan of Vinnie from his footballing days and think that he is 6"1 or at the very most 6"1.5. Where his 5"11 listing come from I have no clue, perhaps he was 5"11 at an early footballing measurement and grew in his late teens?
I would say 186cm for Jones. Still impressive. Anonymous says on 9/Jan/10
Seems to be exactly the same height as Roger Cross, who is 184-185 cm. john says on 5/Jan/10
basshunter has said his height is 189cm and he clearly looks taller than vinnie on celebrity big brother. 186cm-187 for jones thekiddd says on 27/Dec/09
187cm is closer to 6'1 1/2 than 6'1 3/4". I've read 6 for him but he's definitely taller than that. Anonymous says on 20/Dec/09
This dude look at least 2 inch taller than Bradley Cooper who is supposely 6'1 Hugh 191cm says on 30/Sep/09
6ft1ish in Sworfish. Hugh 191cm says on 19/Sep/09
No less than 6ft1 and no more than 6ft2. Somewhere in between is perfect. I will admit he looked at least 6ft2 next to Hugh Grant. Sam says on 17/Sep/09
In swordfish he actually looked an inch shorter than Hugh Jackman (6'2).. Hugh 190cm says on 12/Sep/09
186-187cm infact but maybe 188cm. But no taller. Hugh 191cm says on 21/Jul/09
Looked 6ft2 in Mean Machine and next to Hugh Grant. Looked barely6ft1 in Snatch at times. Struggled to look 5 inches taller than Jason Statham in Lock, Stock and two smoking barrels.
I think he's 187cm-188cm or 6ft1.75 or a weak 6ft2 or whatever. ComicNut says on 22/Jun/09
Just watched Snatch and he seemed exactly the same height as 185cm Dennis Farina. Neil J says on 25/May/09
Saw him in the players lounge years ago at Selhurst Park in his Wimbledon days, i'm 5ft8in, Vinny Jones is 6 foot max in my opinion.No way 6ft 2in like team mate Marcus Gayle. Neil J says on 25/May/09

I've met him briefly twice (once for swordfish, the other for X3). The guy is 184 MAXIMUM in shoes. boobooblack says on 27/Apr/09
look up vinnies football days has him listed as 6'1 I'd say 6'2 in his shoes MHouillon says on 13/Mar/09
Hey, Rob. He definitely needs a downgrade.
6'1 (185cm-186cm) is much closer to the truth. yoyo says on 12/Feb/09
Vinnie is tall. But no way a 188 frame. his more like 184 185 barely. rich says on 2/Feb/09
with regard to his height 'growing', perhaps he was 5'11 or so in footy gear, and now in his hollywood roles, with a hard man image to maintain, he wears lifts? Doug says on 27/Jan/09
Mmm but this can't be barefoot. Perhaps 6'2" in shoes, sorry I have to say I think he looks 6'0.5"-6'1" to me. I believe I've most often seen him listed as 6'1". Ed says on 24/Jan/09
I was Statham's stand-in in Transporter 2...I am 5'7". Jason may have been 5'8". That being said look at the pics and figure out how tall Jones is. hjr6 says on 25/Dec/08
i thought he was 5'11.5" yoyo says on 14/Dec/08
Vinnie Jones cant be 6ft2. In JOHNNY WAS 6ft5 Lennox Lewis Had at least 4in or more on him. This guy was 6ft to 6ft1 at most.. MD says on 6/Dec/08
This guys clearly looks 6'1" to 6'2" in pictures, now, but why is it that all older sites list him as being 180 cm? That's strange that they could have been so wrong. Is this obvious lifts?
Anyway, with 6'1" Bradley Cooper:

In x men the last stand, he was a monster and he was same height as 6 foot 3 hugh jackman. In she's the man, he looks 6 foot 2. 6 foot 2. Lmeister says on 10/Nov/08
Clearly 6ft2??? He is maybe an inch taller than Frank Leboef(6ft). It is time to downgrade this guy. He has been wearing lifts in quite a few movies to make him look more imposing... Hugh says on 8/Nov/08
He's clearly 6ft2. He's an easy 3 inches taller than Hugh Grant Lmeister says on 6/Nov/08
Vinnie Jones is 6ft1 max I think 6ft.05 would be the most accurate...Rob take a look at this pic Click Here It is Frank LeBoeuf(6ft), Steve Jones and Vinnie Jones.

I must be 6,5 then if hes 6,2!!! QPR keeper at the time ludo miklosko was 6,4.5 and towered over me, and I towered over Jones!! I am a legite 1.88 cm in barefeet man, he is no bigger than 1.82 max!! Hugh says on 20/Sep/08
Eddie, are you for real, he looks barely the same height as Stone Cold. MHouillon says on 17/Aug/08
Dennis Farina is a 184cm-guy. Let's say they gave Vinnie lifts in Snatch, because they wanted him to give a towering-appearance as "Bullet Tooth Tony", even over Dennis Farina.
I estimate a 186cm-187cm for him.
However - lifts or no lifts. Anyone that thinks he's shorter than 6'1 needs glasses or smocked crack. :-D Daii says on 26/Jul/08
If Steve Austin is said to be 6'1 then vinnie is definitely bang on 6'2 PW says on 14/Jul/08
1.84m exactly. little one says on 2/Jul/08
vinne jones tops out at 6'0 max. def no taller Eddie says on 10/Jun/08
In Yaspaa's picture, Vinnie looks like he's 6ft 4 in. Anonymous says on 12/May/08
He was on a wrestling ppv called Capital Carnage and looked similar in height to Steve Austin. During the event he squared up to Ray Traylor (Big Bossman) who looked to be a legit 6'4 and was a few inches shorter Rj says on 6/May/08
He was always listed at either 5, 11" or 6' in his playing days, never heard of a 40 year old growing 2-3 inches, someone ring Guiness World Records. Derek says on 2/Feb/08

stone cold isnt 6'1. more 6'0. he is dwarfed by shane mcmahon and mick foley and the rock on that doco. beyond the mat. even without boots on he is puny compared to the others. Bleemo says on 19/Dec/07
Weirdly Anon his claims sound about right. anon says on 26/Aug/07

@ Kevin: Do you really want us to take your.. eh..."picture" into our judgment ? Have you read Rob's article about angle ?
Vinnie Jones is a 185cm (6'1") minimum-guy ! No way he is 5'11 or 5'10 or even 6 feet. He was a little taller than 184cm Dennis Farina in Snatch and this is more evidence than your "picture". kevin says on 3/May/07
how in the hell can he be 6'2 next to 6'1 stone cold ?? Click Here MD says on 25/Apr/07
I thought he was always listed at 6'1"? dmeyer says on 23/Jan/07
i noticed that he apeared over 6 ft since he looked 1 in on cage in boots and taller than travolta Editor Rob says on 22/Jan/07
He said his height in a publication called "News Letter" in 2002:
"because I'm 6ft 2, 14 stone and very athletic; there are roles I'm going to attract" Day Rider says on 2/Jan/07
He looks 2 inches taller than Danny Dyer in the movie Mean Machine. Danny Dyer is listed at 6ft and seems to be a legit 6ft guy so this blows any chance of Vinnie being only 6ft out the window. My money is on a full 6ft2. Anonymous says on 1/Jan/07
dave u donut john terry is listed as 6ft1 and on the new Chelsea Website as 188cm or 6ft 2. S to the C says on 16/Dec/06
I would say he is over 6'0" tall but is not quite 6'2" .......... I was looking at several websites 2 see their incite on his height and some say 6'2", some say 5'11", its basically on guesses and unconfirmed height, but i would say he is definitely over 6'0" Alen says on 23/Aug/06
Guv'nor he might be a big guy but that doesn't mean that he is 6.2. I personally know that he was always listed as 6' before he became a movie star so how come he sudenly gained extra 2'? Dave says on 27/Jun/06
Further proof on BBC1 last night.
PR shots of Vinnie where he was no more than 2'' taller than 5'10'' Owen Wilson and only marginally taller than 5'11'' Brad Pitt.
No way is he 6'2''. Dave says on 8/Jun/06
I've seen him in Watford and he is 6' tops.
If anything, footballers heights are usually exaggerated. Does anyone seriously believe that Robbie Fowler is 5'11'', Wayne Rooney 5'10'', Nicky Butt 6' or Carlo Cudicini 6'1''?
As far as Cudicini is concerned, it's funny how the 6' John Terry is taller than a man who is an inch taller than him. The Guv'nor says on 29/May/06
Think 6'2" is spot on for Vinnie, he is a big guy. Regarding the comments people have made about footballers heights on this thread and others I can tell you they are definitely often wrong, usually on the small side. A player for my team Everton for example, Duncan Ferguson, has been for years listed as 6'3" however the manager confiremd 2 years ago that they measured him at 6'5". Athletes in particular continue to grow I think. Sky TV pundit Chris Kamaras career stats list him at 6'1" but i met him at York racecourse last year and got a pic with him. He is EASILY 6'3", more likely 6'4". I am 6'1" and he towers over me. Don't trust the stats trust your eyes I say!! sam says on 28/Apr/06
It is funny that he's playing the giant Juggernaut in X-Men, since around the time that they were doing Swordfish, Hugh Jackman looked slightly taller than Jones. Only in Hollywood would a guy probably 6'2" or under (Jones) be playing a 7' foot tall character in the same movie as a guy that's nearly 6'3" (Jackman) playing a character who originally was supposed to be 5'3". Brett says on 18/Apr/06
Seeing ive been using the Rove live sight alot ( go to Click Here) , I found a pic of Rove (5'8") and Vinnie, and Vinnie looks easily over 6'0" tall. So if you want to see it, go to 'galleries" then 2002 guests, and youll see what I mean. Whether is a legit 6'2" is hard to say, but I would not rule it out in from this photo at all. Dave says on 6/Apr/06
Jones is for sure no taller than 6ft. Anonymous says on 1/Mar/06
There is a picture of him in his football days, {the infamous one of him squeezing paul gascoigne balls}, Gascoigne is 177cm, Vinnie doesn't look 11cm taller than him Tubbs says on 27/Feb/06
I agree with Hetor, Vinnie was always listed as 5'11, 6ft tops during his playing days, if he was 6'2", the football mags and papers would have made a big thing out of it, especially in the 80's, when being a 6ft + player wasn't as common as it is now. hector says on 26/Feb/06
has been listed 181-182 during his playing days on various sport websites. this height is just a hype for enhancing his tough guy on screen persona. Mario says on 3/Feb/06
I have seen Snatch. some time ago and he is 1/2 to an inch taller than Farina who is nowedays 6 ft 1. MHouillon says on 2/Feb/06
Have you seen Snatch ? He's clearly towering Dennis Farina (who isn't short... I think 182cm). He is a 188cm minimum. Anshelm says on 28/Dec/05
Goon, actually Juggernaut is 6'10"/208 cm; though apparently the majority of the artist don't bother to check out what size the characters are and what they can – or can't – do ;)
http://www.marveldirectory.com/individuals/j/juggernaut.htm Godzy says on 21/Dec/05
I didn’t know that grown up men could gain 2 extra inches after 35. Still this is another case of ‘Hollywood growth’ syndrome where you gain extra inches as soon as you get recognition in few movies. The guy used to be listed as 181-183 throughout his career. I still don’t know why is he listed in here as 188.
CelebHeights Editor says on 4/Dec/05
Here, his management list him at 6ft 2 and 196 lbs. Goon says on 18/Nov/05
I guess he's 6'2 he will be playing Juggernaut in X-Men 3. Juggernaut is a massive muscular tower of power how will Vinnie Jones play Juggernaut? Juggernaut is well over 7ft tall in the comics and cartoon!!! Dave says on 5/Oct/05
Saw him in Hertfordshire. He is 6ft max. No way is he 6'2''. Mr. Klaus says on 13/Aug/05
My father (who is 5 ft 11) who was a fan of Vinnie Jones in his football years, has meeted Vinnie 6 times and he described Vinnie Jones as a tall person. My father only describes a person as tall when he is a lot taller than him. Jambo says on 12/Aug/05
As I said before, I have seen the guy in real life. I am 1.89cm and there is no way he was only 1cm shorter than me. He is definitely no more than 6' and could possibly be even shorter. He actually looked to be about 5'11'', but it's possible he is just about 6' or a shade under. However, if you have seen him in real life, there is no way you would say he is 6'2''
People have mentioned how tall he looks in films. He wouldn't be the first person to have some assistance in that department.
ivan says on 12/Aug/05
According to many sites he is 6' so i don't really understand why he is listed in here as 6.2' - Maybe in shoes, yes. i guess that is the way they measure height in the USA. Mr. Klaus says on 11/Aug/05
He always looked tall, in the movie Swordfish he looks even the same height as Hugh Jackman, who is for sure not under the 6 ft 2 mark. Hal says on 10/Aug/05
Filmbug lists him at 6'/1.83m. I honestly don't think Vinnie is as tall as 6'2'', and I imagine that Ross Kemp is somewhat under the 5'11'' he is quoted at.
It seems strange that Vinnie was always listed as either 5'11' or 6' in most football guides (which usually exaggerate a players height)until his movie career started. All of a sudden, like many other actors, he seems to have grown by two inches. CelebHeights Editor says on 5/Aug/05
Vinnie appeared for a minute in Ricky Gervais extras and 'towered' over Ross Kemp. This guy doesn't really look the 5ft 11/6ft that some old dodgy football sites had him at. Vinnie and Hugh Grant Jambo says on 18/Jul/05
I saw him at Luton Airport in 2002 and he looked about 5'11'. I'm 6'2 1/2'' and he was definitely a good few inches shorter. The Leeds fan website at http://www.leedsfans.org.uk/leeds/players/448.html seems to back up my estimate.
Perhaps the movie industry has bumped up his height a bit to create a more imposing image. Faces Of Death says on 4/Jul/05
I remember seeing a documentary on him where he was followed about by a film crew, anyway he got onto some scales where you have to type in your height etc and the ticket that came out definitely said 6'0" and 13 stone something or other as the camera panned over it for a second or two, why would he downgrade himself 2 inches? i think his reputation makes people think he's larger than he really is but i'd definitely say 6' give or take 0.5" Lmeister says on 3/Jun/05
Yeah I saw that pic of him and Brad. U are right about his height...When he was playing football he didn't have the best posture. I took a look at some old football pics and I have to admit that if we U take account of his slouching he is solid 6'2''. In movies he looks more like 6'3''... Lmeister says on 2/Jun/05
Hmm is Vinnie Jones really 6'2''. At least in football sites he is always listed either 6'0'' or 6'1''even as low as 5'11'' never seen the 6'2'' listing in sports related site. I think this is one of those "Hollywood listings"...He does look tall, but I think he isn't quite 6'2''
[Editor Rob: well Vinnie back in the 90's always looked like a 187ish guy on the soccer matches, a real mad man on the pitch too. Argh, there was a pic somewhere on google showing him standing 2.5 inches taller than Brad Pitt. Can't find it though! ] Issheuhboy says on 2/Jun/05
I really didn't think he was this tall - I always imagined him to be about 6'0. But here he is (at the bottom of the page) with the (definately) 6'2" Nicky Wire from the Manics. Jones is bending down a little, but you can see the two are about the same height:
