Rob if you could guess how tall do you think Jazzy Jeff is? He has been listed at 5'11 before.

Even though he always wore doc martin style boots on fresh prince, he always came up to the eyebrows of 6'4.5 James Avery. If you consider the shoes difference that would make him a weak 6'1.

He also looked the same height as 6'1 listed Brian Stokes Mitchell on fresh prince in spite of the fact that smith had a bit of a footwear advantage. And Brian is definitely 6'1 on the money because he appeared in frasier a few times as Frasier's neighbour Cam winston. And he and kelsey who is 6'1 looked the same height dead on.
So this is more proof that smith is a weak 6'1.

Also, 6'2.5 MC Gainey definitely had Smith by around 2 inches in Fresh prince and they were both in boots. Watch the episode "robbing the banks" for proof. The stand next to each other a few times and the difference in height between them is no way only half an inch.

Smith is around 6ft & 3/4. Not even a full 6'1 imo. Certainly not pushing 6'3 as he claims.
Karl Karlsen says on 18/Nov/09
6'1.75 max. More 6'1.5
James says on 13/Nov/09
Denzel can look 6ft1 next to Smith
Hugh 191cm says on 12/Nov/09
Or we could just say that Denzel looks 185-186cm there. obviously hes not quite that high.
J.J. says on 8/Nov/09
he is the 6'1.5" - 6'1.75" rregion nothing more, nothing less
James says on 6/Nov/09

Denzel Washington is about 184cm. Will Smith in the pic with bad posture is about 186cm standing up straighter just about 6'2. Put it this way he's leaning more than Denzel. So I think Will Smith is about 6'1.75-6'2 in the afternoon.
the shredder says on 6/Nov/09
He is 6'1 or 6'1.5 , not 5'11 , not 6'3 !
Crockenstein says on 5/Nov/09
Will is lucky if he's 5-10 next to 6-8 Ronnie Turiaf and an assortment of other measured athletes. Only the blind people will say 6-1/6-2, lol.
Clay says on 5/Nov/09
Annonymous says on 2/Nov/09
Will Smith is 5-11 or 6-0 max. Ferrel is more than likely just 6-1. LOL at almost 6-2.

Will Ferrell 6'1''? Thats beyond crack-induced even for you Viper.
josh says on 4/Nov/09
will smith is at least 6'1 if not 6'2.
Annonymous says on 2/Nov/09
Will Smith is 5-11 or 6-0 max. Ferrel is more than likely just 6-1. LOL at almost 6-2.

Looks 186cm next to Honsou but thats his posture. Up straight the two men are about the same height
Hugh 191cm says on 31/Oct/09
Tommy lee looks the same height as will! Weird. To answer your question james yes I do think tommy lee jones was 6ft-6ft1 back then. hell, he mightve been 6ft1 when he was younger.
James says on 30/Oct/09
Hugh yes I actually do think Will does not look qutie 6'2 next to him and couting the hair as well.

Do you believe Tommy Lee Jones was 6'0.5 7-8 years ago?

Does kinda look in the 6'1 range in the last few pics.
Hugh 191cm says on 30/Oct/09
Looks a fraction under 6ft2 next to Dimijon. With better posture probably around the same height
Hugh 191cm says on 30/Oct/09
James, i think you need to look a bit closer Will's hair might be giving that illusion. They look about the same height though. Aswell Whitaker could be a strong 6ft2
James says on 28/Oct/09
Just about 6'2

He really does have poor posture as well.
Oleg says on 28/Oct/09
I think Will is strong 6ft2. Always looks tall
Karl Karlsen says on 27/Oct/09
Maybe he's really strong 6'1. I'm a weak one that's cool :D I'm same height! 6'0.75-6'1.

Will looks a fraction taller than Forest Whitaker
Hugh 191cm says on 27/Oct/09
Will looks 186-187cm in the first pic and 187-188cm in the second. Bad Posture
Hugh 191cm says on 26/Oct/09
Denzel looks 186-187cm beside will!
Hugh 191cm says on 26/Oct/09
185-186cm next to Denzel
James says on 18/Oct/09
Click Here

Here Will Smith could look 6ft3 with better posture but I think thats becasuse of the camera angle.

This might be more accurate to judge by Click Here

I am not sure if Will looks 6'2 here in comparison to Denzel Washington but he does still look over the 6'1 mark. He isn't standing at his tallest either.
Hugh 191cm says on 18/Oct/09
187cm minimum
Rika says on 15/Oct/09
Lenad says on 1/Oct/09
Are you Australian Rika?

Kiwi :). Ive been to Aussie though. Short men, freakishly tall models, but average non-model women. But the models! yow.
I sadly have to say my mate that the men of NZ from what i ahve seen are taller than the ones in Australia.
James says on 14/Oct/09
Probably Hugh
Hugh 191cm says on 13/Oct/09
maybe a tad taller than 6ft when in MIB
James says on 10/Oct/09
Yeah Tommy could be 5'11.75 nowadays.
Hugh 191cm says on 9/Oct/09
Actually Tommy Lee Jones could be shade under the 6ft mark nowadays.
Hugh 191cm says on 9/Oct/09
Washington doesn't look less than 6ft to me. He looks 184cm even now and may have been 6ft1 when he was younger. Smith overall looks like a 6ft2 guy.
James says on 9/Oct/09
You know I doubt Will Smith is anything over 6'2 realisticly. He's not a strong 6'2 guy like Benjamin Bratt who is probably 188-189cm. Will Smith on the other hand is 187-188cm.
James says on 9/Oct/09
Well how tall do you think Denzel is? I doubt he's under 6ft and Frank2 said Denzel could have been 6'1.
the shredder says on 9/Oct/09
" Shredder explain to me why Will Smith can look 2 inches taller than 184cm Denzel Washington? "

It was 1 inch , and Denzel is not that height , come on guys we are talking about barefoot heights here , Will is not that tall !
James says on 9/Oct/09
189cm out of bed is spot on.

Shredder explain to me why Will Smith can look 2 inches taller than 184cm Denzel Washington?
the shredder says on 9/Oct/09
No Lenad , With Shoes , He might not be 6'1 flat but he is in the 6'1 range !
Lenad says on 9/Oct/09
I suspect he was measured at a solid 189cm out of bed in the morning
James says on 8/Oct/09
Well I seriously doubt Tommy Lee Jones was ever under 183cm.
Hugh 191cm says on 8/Oct/09
189-190cm after a good night sleep?
Ray says on 8/Oct/09
Also James, TLJ wore cowboy boots throughout that movie. I'm always suspicious about people who wear cowboy boots...you don't know what's stuffed in there.
James says on 7/Oct/09
You know whats weird though is that at times Tommy Lee Jones looked a hair smaller than weak 6footer Gary Busey in Under Seige.
Hugh 191cm says on 7/Oct/09
Howabout you do the same as you did with Rainn Wilson and put him at like 6ft1.83!
James says on 7/Oct/09
6'1.5 is probably his height in the evening or very late afternoon.
the shredder says on 7/Oct/09
Rob , can you put him 6'1.5 because you said you thought he is taking his height in footwear ?
Hugh 191cm says on 6/Oct/09
6ft1.75 maybe? 6ft2.5 is morning height.
TELLEM says on 6/Oct/09
james, gene hackman was 58, so most likely he lost height, and even if he didn't, i've seen that film well enough to not confuse 2 inches from 1.5 inches. like i said, it was a SOLID 2 inches, and nothing less than that. tommy lee jones is/was 6'0 MAX.
James says on 6/Oct/09
Dude that film was made way back in 1989 when Hackman would have been in his late fifties. He was not that old in the film and was still 6'2 then. Besides it can't be easy to tell 1.5 from 2 inches. Tommy Lee Jones posture tends to be poor as well.
TELLEM says on 6/Oct/09
because an aging gene hackman had him by two inches in the film "the package".
James says on 5/Oct/09
How do you know that TELLEM?????
TELLEM says on 5/Oct/09
but tommy lee jones was never over 6'0.
James says on 5/Oct/09
Anonymous is me
James says on 4/Oct/09
The thing is though Tommy Lee Jones was 49 when Men in Black was made in 1996. So he might have been a shade less than 6'0.5 when it came out? I doubt it though.
Anonymous says on 4/Oct/09
Saw Men in Black today. Both Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith were wearing the same kind of shoes and I would say there looked a solid 1 inch between them. The difference could even be more considering Will Smith had a kind of shaven hairstyle in comparison to Tommy Lee Jones.

So this is how I see it

Tommy Lee Jones 6'0.5
Will Smith 6'1.5-6'2.
James says on 4/Oct/09
Rob do you think Will Smith would measure at 6'3.5 in dress shoes straight out of bed after 9 hours of sleep?
the shredder says on 4/Oct/09
James , he was 21 1/2 in Fresh Prince , Rob , do you think 6'1.5 is more correct ?

[Editor Rob: 6ft 1.5 or 2 could be more correct than 6ft 1 flat or 6ft 2.5.]
James says on 2/Oct/09
Well Hugh he was young in the Fresh Prince. I think he was only 19 or 20 when it first started.
Leung says on 2/Oct/09
I agree he probably walks around at 200lbs these days.
For his role as Ali he is said to have bulked up to 220lb.
Hugh 191cm says on 1/Oct/09
Will does not look 200lbs at all in fresh prince. More 170-180lbs. Nowadays he could be closer to 200lbs.
Lenad says on 1/Oct/09
Are you Australian Rika?
Rika says on 30/Sep/09
So many people saying they're australian xD.
Lenad says on 29/Sep/09
200 pounds looked a bit extreme on Fresh prince!
Lenad says on 29/Sep/09
Yeah I'm Australian. All 16 of my great great grandparents were born in Australia and 13 of them were of English descent and 3 of them of Irish descent
James says on 28/Sep/09
If Will is 6'1.75 at his tallest then Denzel adn Al Gore must be 6ft at the most.
James says on 28/Sep/09
No English. Are you Australian?
the shredder says on 28/Sep/09
I gotta say he does look taller then 6'1 flat with Denzel and Gore ! Still Will is not as tall as some are saying , 6'1.75 at his tallest IMO !
Lenad says on 27/Sep/09
James I lay down on my back and lift my legs in the air for a minute a time and do about 5-6 minutes worth of that a day. I also jog 2-3km a day or ride several kilometers from my house and back. Weight lifing isnt my sort of thing. Just out of curiosity James are you Australian?
James says on 27/Sep/09
Goldblum was a solid 6'4.5 as proved in that pic. If you look carefully as well in the pic notice that Will Smiths eye level is higher than Pullmans.
Josh.J says on 27/Sep/09
Click Here
looks 6'1~6'1.5 next to jeff goldblum and pullman.
James says on 26/Sep/09
Lenad I tend to balance the gym with cycling and jogging etc...

Will Smith did look underweight in the first few seasons of the Fresh Prince. He beefed up a little bit in later series of the sitcom.
Lenad says on 25/Sep/09
yeah kind of like me. I dont hit the gym. I spend my physical activity jogging or cycling a couple of miles from my house.
Lenad says on 25/Sep/09
yeah king of like me. I dont hit the gym. I spend my physical activity jogging or cycling a couple of miles from my house.
James says on 25/Sep/09
Brian maybe back in the day Will Smith just didn't eat much or care about putting on muscle? Probably spent most of his time playing basketball than hitting the gym.
Brian says on 24/Sep/09
From what I've seen, I'm thinking 6'1.5" for Will. His 6'2.5" claim is an exaggeration, even in the morning, but he's not a flat 6'1" either.

Anyway, Will is a tall guy and used to be very skinny, so his build was clearly ectomorphic. This would make it very difficult for him to put on weight, so how did he gain all that muscle mass? He looks much more filled out nowadays, like a totally different guy, and I just don't get how he did that.
TELLEM says on 23/Sep/09
he looks 6'2 dejavu.
James says on 23/Sep/09
Some guys are saying that Woody is only 5'9.

Will Smith looks 6'3 next to Denzel Washington CERTAINLY not 6'1.
DejaVu says on 23/Sep/09
Definitely not 6'1 only.
Around an inch or Denzel Washington:

Clearly taller than Al Gore:

If straightened up he could be 4 inches taller than Harrelson who is 5'10 listed on the site.

the shredder says on 23/Sep/09
It might have been 1.5 inches when Will Was in Timberlands , but When they had normal footwear it was only about 1 inch , The W is 6'1 !
Ace says on 22/Sep/09
The difference between will smith and tommy lee jones was greater than 1 inch, more like 1.5-2 inches.
James says on 22/Sep/09
Shredder I think 2.5 is fair between Will Smith and James Avery who might have even been a full 6'5 in the Fresh Prince. But maybe not since James Avery was 300 pounds back then. I must say he's thinner nowadays.

And yeah Shredder I do agree that Tommy Lee never really looked over 6'0 to me on screen but then again he dosen't always have the best posture.
the shredder says on 21/Sep/09
James says on 21/Sep/09
" Um Shredder Tommy Lee Jones was 6'0.5 when Men in Black came out and Will does look 1.5 inches taller but the only thing is Will has on timberlands in the first part of the film. "

Will was only 1 inch taller and Jones is 6'0 ,and thanks for bringin up the Timberlands , it just made 6'1 more possible !

" I am watching the Fresh Prince right now and there does look a solid 2 inches between Will and James maybe even up to 2.5 but not more. "

You just don't get it , there height diffrents is never that low !
James says on 21/Sep/09
Um Shredder Tommy Lee Jones was 6'0.5 when Men in Black came out and Will does look 1.5 inches taller but the only thing is Will has on timberlands in the first part of the film.

I am watching the Fresh Prince right now and there does look a solid 2 inches between Will and James maybe even up to 2.5 but not more.
the shredder says on 20/Sep/09
This talk of Will almost as tall as Avery is funny ! I was watching Men In Black and Will was hardly taller then Tommy Lee Jones , making Will Smith ? Oh yes , the 6'1 that he is and James , Tommy Lee Jones is not 6'1 !
James says on 19/Sep/09
Well Hugh actually in early episodes of the Fresh Prince Will could have lows of looking even 6'1 but mostly he looked 6'2. In later episodes of the Fresh Prince (like in the mid 90's) he often looked 6'3 on the show but I think thats the timberland shoes doing that.
Hugh 191cm says on 18/Sep/09
I think in 1989 when he was in the Fresh Prince he could look 6ft3 at times. Sure, he's not that high. 6ft2 looks spot on. Definately over that mark out of bed. 187cm at night.
James says on 18/Sep/09
Exactley DejaVu it doesn't make sense Will Smith only being 6'1 if Al Gore is a bit over 6ft.
James says on 18/Sep/09
Well maybe he can look 6'1 but it dosen't mean he is. I just don't think he is skinny and lanky anymore like he used to be in the Fresh Prince. Again if you look at the first episode of the Fresh Prince in 1989 he really did look 6'2.
DejaVu says on 18/Sep/09
He was around 1.5-2 inches taller than Al Gore who is around 6'0.25. I guess he could be 6'1.5 at the worst and 6'2 is spot on.
the shredder says on 18/Sep/09
He is saying his height in footwear , He can be 6'1 , its not impossible !
Anonymous says on 17/Sep/09
Here is the height chart from HANCOCK, stop it at 1:07 - 1:08. Will Smith looks about 6'3" with shoes (or boots?) on. I guess Will has hanging shoulders and a slightly long neck since he is 6'3" while his shoulder tip is about 5'0", that’s a 15/16 inch difference!!! Smith’s head is a normal 10 inches and from the top of his head to where his neck meets his shoulder there are about 12 inches; roughly 3 inches of sloping shoulder. Good proportions though. Will Smith must dwarf his 5'0" wife Jada Pinkett Smith (both barefoot).

James says on 17/Sep/09
I heard that Will Smiths dad was 6'4? Don't know if its true or not?
Moke says on 17/Sep/09
He only grew 1 inch since being 13? That is pretty abnormal. Does someone has a pic to prove? I think that nowadays young people are full-grown quite early though. At the age of 16 I was "ready".
James says on 16/Sep/09
Shredder Hancock is just a film. And most of the time at big events he wears normal dress shoes not timberlands and can still pull of looking 6'2 next to celebs.
the shredder says on 15/Sep/09
He was always around 6'1 even at 13 , he took his height in shoes and Hancock showed it ! Will Smith to me is like Glenn to Brad !

" The W is walking down the street getting Philli Cheese Steaks for Uncle Phil , he say he 6 foot two and a hoof but he ain't , He got a whole cult backing him up , He be wearing da Timberlands in photoes , when he come in the set he 6'1 , He'd be 6'1 with Rob and da Irish Actor Jenny "
James says on 15/Sep/09
It dosen't suck since he was tall already at that age but I bet when Will was 13 he might have been closer to 6'1 than 6'2.
bo0069 says on 15/Sep/09
damn, that kinda sucks not growing since 13. .
the shredder says on 14/Sep/09
Thats 2 inches between Will and Tyler , Tyler is leaning in worst then Will !
James says on 14/Sep/09
God if anything there looks 1.5 between him and Tyler but somehow I doubt Will is 6'3.5.
runt says on 14/Sep/09
he appears here to be only 2" shorter than Tyler Perry

Click Here
James says on 13/Sep/09
After seeing Hancock I agree with Shredder he did look 6'1.
James says on 12/Sep/09
I hate to admit it but after watching Hancock esspecially in the Prision scenes he looked all of 6'1. Certainly never 6'3 but you know in again the height chart he was over 6'2.

Then again its only a movie and in the Fresh Prince he really could look a legit 6'2.
the shredder says on 12/Sep/09
Lol , this page is funny , 6'1 is very possible !
Hugh 190cm says on 12/Sep/09
That would be about right James. I saw Bad Boys Last Night. Will looked 188cm.
James says on 12/Sep/09
187cm in the evening
Trace says on 12/Sep/09
I think 6ft 2" is right on the spot.He is slouching a bit so he may look 6ft 1 1/2sometimes
Hugh 191cm says on 11/Sep/09
6ft2 flat is bang on. 6ft1.5-6ft1.75 at night most likely and 6ft2.5 out of bed.
the shredder says on 11/Sep/09
No James , you just can't judge height , Atleast Rob backs up his reasons and has good reasons , you just upgrade people and downgrade them just to make the other person taller , and Rob agrees that the minimum between him and James Avery is about 3 inches , but no people see Smith shorter then his claim and you say that Avery is 1.5 inch taller which any fool can see is nuts , 6'1 flat is very possible IMO .
Anonymous says on 10/Sep/09
Rob love the page...thankgoodness I'm not the only one that thinks Will Smith is not as low as a flat 6 feet 1. Will has no reason to lie lol!
James says on 10/Sep/09
Shredder we have all seen that Isiah Thomas video a million times and its not very easy to gauge their heights because of the camer angles etc....
the shredder says on 10/Sep/09
Rob , you should give him 6'1.75 , look at him next to 6'1 Isiah Thomas !
Yaspaa says on 10/Sep/09
I also think 6'1.
miko says on 9/Sep/09
Rob have you ever considered putting him at 6"1.75?

[Editor Rob: he might have been there at one time.]
James says on 9/Sep/09
Maybe 6'1.75 would be accurate for Will.
the shredder says on 9/Sep/09
Rob , what has you convinced that he is 6'1.5 minimum , you ever saw him with Isiah Thomas ? I don't think Isiah Thomas is 6'1.5 !

Click Here
the shredder says on 9/Sep/09
Rob , I agree that he is not that height , I was talking about if Avery really is the 6'3 that some claim ! In all fairness , do you really think Will Smith is around his claimed heights if Avery is shorter then your listed height ? I still think a flat 6'1 is possible for Will ! Do you really think Will is almost 6'3 barefoot ? IMO Will is clearly upgrading his height !

[Editor Rob: I think 6ft 1.5-2 is reasonable. 6ft 1 flat I'm not convinced he is that low.]
James says on 8/Sep/09
The very lowest Will could be is 186-187cm. But 6'2 is spot.
the shredder says on 8/Sep/09
Rob , If Avery is really 6'3 , then would you say that Will is no taller 6'0.5 ? If you keep Will at this height then you should give Avery a peak height at 6'5 , He was around 50 in Fresh Prince Im sure he was taller when he was young !

[Editor Rob: I doubt will is as short as 184cm.]
James says on 7/Sep/09
I actually watched the Fresh Prince again last night when James Avery was angry with Will Smith in a cafe bar about making his daughter into a singer, they squared up to eacher and to be honest there only looked 2 incehs between them. Shredder you should dig up the clip because Will did look a strong 6'2 next to him.

I woulden't rule out Will Smith wearing timberland shoes though.
the shredder says on 7/Sep/09
Well Rob , what do you think is the minimum Between them ?

[Editor Rob: somewhere from 2.5-3 I think.]
James says on 5/Sep/09
I do respect your opinions Shredder. And to be fair when Will Smith appeared in his sitcom 'All of Us' back in 2004 he did look 6'1 max but I think that could have been his bulky frame making him appear shorter than he really is.
James says on 5/Sep/09
The Shredder okay you can excuse me of making excuses as much as you want but there is still debate wheather or not James Avery is a full 6'5 or 6'4.5?

You can say that Evander Holyfied is 6ft till the cows come home as well but I belive he's around 6'1 and Will Smith had a solid inch on him when he appeared in the Fresh Prince.

I think in about 12 years time Will Smith MIGHT loose 1cm from his peak height of 6'2.

Rob do you think James Avery might have been a full 6'5 in the Fresh Prince?
the shredder says on 5/Sep/09
Rob , in that video I posted how much taller do you think Avery looks then Will ?

[Editor Rob: could be near 3 inches.]
James says on 5/Sep/09
Well Shredder I think the camera angle can exzaggerate the difference between them.

I've seen other episodes of the Fresh Prince where the difference can only look 1.5.
the shredder says on 4/Sep/09
James stop making excuses , I just check out the video to see what your seeing , you are wrong , Will is standing perfectly fine and there is a good 3 or 3.5 inches between them and Will Smith has bigger footwear and big hair ! Will Smith 's head only goes up to James Avery's eyes and Will's eyes only go up to Avery's lips , thats not 2 inches , if anything its more like 4 inches ! The main thing I see that is hard to judge is an over the shoulder shot of Avery making them look atleast 4 inches between , and Will's bigger foot wear ! Still there is clearly 3 or 3.5 inches between them ! If James Avery was only 6'3 doing Fresh Prince then Will Smith is 6'0 or shorter which is crazy !
James says on 4/Sep/09
And Shredder sorry but I don't think theres as much as 3.5 if you think Avery at 6'3 would make Will Smith 6' max. I'd say if James Avery was a 6'3 guy then Will Smith would be verging on 6'1.

Sometimes you don't how much 2 or 2.5 inches really is.
James says on 4/Sep/09
Well you know Will Smith in the vid isn't really standing with very good posture half the time. Buy I would say there does look 2.5 between him and James Avery not sure if theres a full 3 inches between the 2?
the shredder says on 3/Sep/09
Check out this video at 9:45 , Will Says James is 6'3 , but yet , There is 3 inches minimum between them ? A 6'3 James would make Will Smith barely 6'0 max !

Click Here
James says on 3/Sep/09
If James Avery is 6'3 that would make Will 184cm-185cm.
the shredder says on 3/Sep/09
Lol guys you can't tell I am joking with 6'3 at night ? Yes Danimal , James Avery is taller then 6'3 , If he is only 6'3 then Will Smith is 6'0 !
James says on 2/Sep/09
and the timberlands
Anonymous says on 2/Sep/09
Looked a solid 6ft3 on fresh prince at times. Propably the hair.
James says on 1/Sep/09
Yeah Danimal and that would mean Will Smith is 6'2.
Danimal says on 1/Sep/09

What are you talking about James ? Will Smith is clearly taller then James Avery ! Avery is 6'3 flat , Will is 6'3 at night , making him about 6'4 in flip flops !

Avery was taller than THEN 6'4" Chevy Chase in Fletch (1984). So NO, he isn't/wasn't only 6'3" Flat.
cowills says on 1/Sep/09
By watching any episode of the fresh prince you can clearly see he was shorter than james avery. In one episode episode will described uncle phil as a 6'3" black dude with a dysheeki and a fro the size of west philly.
James says on 31/Aug/09
Will Smith at times really could hold is own against James Avery in terms of looking tall.
James says on 31/Aug/09
Will is 6'2.75-6'3 in flip flops in the early morning.

Listen shredder all that I am saying is that the difference between Will and James Avery fluctuated at times the difference could look as much as 3 inches and other times barely 2 inches.
the shredder says on 31/Aug/09

Lenad says on 30/Aug/09
Goldblum had a good 2-3 inches on Will
James says on 30/Aug/09
Hay Shredder I never said he was 1.5 inches taller than Goldblum. If you ask me the difference between them looked a very solid 2.5 inches.

I did say though that Will could only look 1.5 inches shorter than James Avery.
Jay says on 30/Aug/09
Smith was shorter then Jay z backstage before the Johnathan Ross show, makes no sense that he be listed taller then Jay z when in fact I'd say its the other way around.
James says on 30/Aug/09
lets call it even and say Will is 6'3.5 in trainers out of bed :)
the shredder says on 30/Aug/09
Not much shorter then Goldblum ? He was clearly 3 inches shorter and Goldblum is legit 6'4 , Let me see mmm that puts Will at mmmmmmmm " GEE " 6'1 !

Hey , James is back , " Shredder he is only 1.5 inches shorter then Goldblum " lol !

You Know what guys , lets call it even and say that Will Smith is 6'3 at night !
Tom says on 29/Aug/09
At the end of Independence Day, he walks along Jeff Goldblum, who is about 6'4'', and is not much shorter. So 6'1''-6'2'' sounds right.
James says on 29/Aug/09
Will had 2.5 on David Beckham
the shredder says on 29/Aug/09
I agree Brain , I don't get what is so hard to see him shorter then this ? Im only obsessed because he clearly is not this tall ! And Yes Ace you said it , he did look his claim when Glenn was 5'8 ! thing is , HE IS NOT 5'8 , he is hardly 5'7 which puts Will at " gee " 6'1 , and I got to say that this sounds funny , but this I think is a rare point where Mr.R overestimated becuase Will was no taller then 4 inches on jamie Fox in Ali !

BTW Rob , how is Mr.R ?
Brian says on 29/Aug/09
Alright, I'm not obsessed with downgrading Will's height like Shredder is, but it seems like a lot of celebrities are automatically downgraded an inch or so from their own claims (For proof, just type in "How tall is. . ." on Google, which shows you a celebrities claim, and then check their listing on this site, which is almost always shorter than Google's listing), but Will gets this listing based entirely on his claim. Why is there a double-standard for Will?
Curtis C. says on 28/Aug/09
I agree with Ace on this one.
Kim in Orange, CA says on 28/Aug/09
6'0 MAX is Will's height, just take a look at him next to Tom Cruise. They talk about his posture and in some pictures he is not slumping over and Tom is standing fairly straight. I think the consensus for TC is that he is not over 5'8", which would be in Will's favor when you try to determine the difference and if Will is OVER 4" taller than Cruise (in the picture mind you), I will buy you all steak dinners at Benihana's. Anyway..don't yall tell me that I am going to go broke now..just google his picture with TC. You guys have to understand, this is Hollywood and these guys want to be as tall as they can be.
Ok, now I get to be bashed for being so ignorant, but some day it will come out. Ha..
James says on 28/Aug/09
Next to Vince Vaughn he would have only looked around 3 inches shorter if he stood properly.
Ace says on 27/Aug/09
Actually Shredder, compared to "5`8" Glenn, he looked huge. In that photo i would have said 6`2 seemed likely. Besides, i think Mr. R met him and said he looked 6`2.
the shredder says on 26/Aug/09
Guys , I know everybody has there opinion , but sorry , theres alot more showing that he is about 6'1 , the guys saying it is not possible that he is 6'1 seem like there just saying it and don't show anything to back it up , and when they do post pics , it most likely is a pic with him and Tommy Lee Jones and they claim that Jones is 6'1 just to upgrade Will !

Please guys , he barely looked his claimed height with Glenn when Glenn was 5'8 !
Ange says on 25/Aug/09
6'1.5 is a reasonable compromise. The more I read comments, particuarly Hugh's (who's always pretty bang on) I'm starting to lean towards 6'1.5.
Hugh 191cm says on 25/Aug/09
I think 6ft2.5 out of bed and 6ft1.75 at night. Overall a 6ft2 guy.
jayman215 says on 25/Aug/09
ya he seems to be 6'1 or even 6'2 max. I doubt he is 6'3.
Ace says on 25/Aug/09
Nah Shredder. I doubt that will is a flat 6`1.
the shredder says on 25/Aug/09
I agree Tellem , lol ! To me Will Smith is cearly 6'1 , He is not even 6'1.5 !
TELLEM says on 24/Aug/09
hey rob, does it cost you money when you downgrade somebody?



j/k
the shredder says on 24/Aug/09
Rob , How about a downgrade , Honestly he most likely is not this tall ?
Mathew says on 23/Aug/09
I've thought 6'2" was just a tad high for him, but he's certainly not less than 6'1". I'd bet he's 186 - 187 cm, with an outside possibility of 185 and 188 cm.
Karl Karlsen says on 23/Aug/09
I think Will is about 6'1-6'1.5. But never 6'2 barefoot. In shoes maybe 6'2+ but without he's 6'1.5 or less.

Downgrade to 6'1.5 ?
Hugh 191cm says on 23/Aug/09
Will could easily pass for 6ft3.
Lenad says on 22/Aug/09
Looked a strong 6ft1 in independence day and a weak 6ft2 in Men in black
wowuguys says on 19/Aug/09
Hugh how do u explain the vince vaugh pictures then?? he doesnt really seem to be slouching he seems to be dwarfed.. and if he was a legit 6'2 he would appear 6'3 at all times! also in both bad boys he looks about 5 inch taller than lawrence whos max 5'7 what do u need more except maybe a new pair of eyes
Hugh 191cm says on 18/Aug/09
6ft2 flat.
wowuguys says on 18/Aug/09
honestly i think will is a flat 6' at night and probably near 6'1 when he wakes
Anonymous says on 17/Aug/09
Scrolling down this page, we have photographic and eyewitness evidence that Will is closer to 6'1". No one has offered proof that Will is 6'2" or 6'2.5" as he says. Supporters of the claim just say he "looks" 6'2" or more to them, and say that he was just "slouching" in every piece of evidence suggesting he's 6'1". I'm not sure of Will's height, but the comments are definitely persuading me toward 6'1". Maybe he's a weak 6'2" (Like 6'1.75) out of bed, but I seriously doubt his 6'2.5" claim has any veracity behind it.
By the way, why are we even still talking about 6'3" for Will? He's never even claimed that.
RisingForce says on 17/Aug/09
6'1"-6'1.5" for Will.
yoyo says on 11/Aug/09
smith is 2inch over 5ft11ish david beckon. 186top for smith
Lenad says on 9/Aug/09
I agree with Hugh on this
Hugh 191cm says on 9/Aug/09
He's around 6ft2. He's probably close to 6ft3 in the morning like 190cm. He could look under 6ft2 with bad posture though. I saw 185-186cm in I Robot, 187-188cm in Men in Black 1&2, 190-191cm in Ali, 189-190cm in Hancock and 186-187cm in Bad Boyz 1&2.
Anonymous says on 5/Aug/09
He CAN NOT be 6ft3.
I saw him next to Mc Gainey (who is 6ft2.5) and he actually shorter than Gainey by 1-2 inches.

He only came up to the eyebrows of 6ft5 James Avery meaning that Avery had 3-4 inches on him.

And he looked the same height exactly as Jonathan Ross who claims to be 6ft1.5, but many argue that Ross has shrunk to 6'1 nowadays.

I say that smith is probably 6ft1.5 . His 6ft2.5 claim is clearly a lie, and 6ft3 is absurd.
Curtis C. says on 4/Aug/09
I didn't actually say that Will was exactly 6'3", I said he "looked" 6'3" in Ali because he was a lot bigger due to the fact that he had gain a large amount weight in that film to portray Muhammad Ali. That's why others say that he looks 6'3". I know Will isn't exactly that tall, I actually believe that Will stands a legit 6'2".
the shredder says on 4/Aug/09
This 6'3 crap has to stop , He never looks that tall ! He looks 5'11 with Vince Vaughn and is not standing any worst then the pic with Glenn , I'd bet money Will is about 6'1 barefoot , Rob is being fooled .
Curtis C. says on 3/Aug/09
Will did look apparently about 6'3"ish in Ali.
Hugh 191cm says on 3/Aug/09
Looked a strong 6ft1 in bad boyz 2. Really 6ft2 is bang on. Looks 6ft3ish in Ali.
the shredder says on 30/Jul/09
Hey , does it bother you when I SHOUT ?
Clay says on 29/Jul/09
Maybe a move back to 6'1.5 for Will is correct Rob.
the shredder says on 29/Jul/09
Ok you troll , who cares about how I type ? There are worst post then me on here ! Who are you to say that all I do all day long is trying to downgrade him to 6'1 ? If that was the case they will be page after page with my post , which is not , and whats the diffrents with me being on the Will Smith page and users on another page ? it is the same thing , just I like being on this page ! you are basically are calling people losers on this site , if they type alot on a certain page . You know nothing about me , I just got off of work and just got on this site , but to you I most likely was looking at this site all day and studing Will Smith photos ?

If Rob does not like the way I shout , he should tell ?
Ange says on 28/Jul/09
He looked 6'2 in I, Robot and through the bulk of the film wore converse all stars. How much height do those give? I will admit, I, Robot was the first time he looked his stated height to me. He always looked tallish, but I thought 6'0 or a weak 6'1. It's kind of hard to look tall when you're buff like he was in I, Robot. This height seems legit.
Anonymous says on 28/Jul/09
Rob, do what you do...will does like to lean alot! Always a tall guy none the less!
infin says on 28/Jul/09
the shredder
could you stop TYPING like THAT !, please? its really annoying, every your post is just a shout to Rob. "Do you think he could be shorter". On the top of the page you can see a result of his thinking: 6-2 Will Smith. Seems like downgrading Will to 6-1 on this site became you point of living. By the way, in your last pic Will looks 6 ft to me and is dropping around 2 inches from his posture. And who knows how tall Vince Vaughn really is... I can name you a few films and post photos where Will does look 6-2. For example, in Hitch he absolutely dwarfed Eva Mendes, who is 5-5 or 5-6. I haven't noticed any suspicious boots on him.
the shredder says on 28/Jul/09
Rob , I don't get the Vince Vaughn photo , Is Will setting down ? They have chairs in the background !

[Editor Rob: he's got that big side lean he does a lot.]
gilipollas says on 28/Jul/09
I met Will in the 90s and he was 6-1 at the most. I said this so many times in here and got insulted by some will fans.
the shredder says on 28/Jul/09
Rob , Check this out please , this is by FAR the SHORTEST EVER Will looked , in this photo he looks clearly 6 inches shorter then Vince Vaughn , SOMETHING IS OFF ! Will does NOT look like he is dropping that much height and Vince Vaughn is NOT in front of Will , but yet Will looks 5'11 , and yes study the photo , it is 6 inches between them because Will's head is only to his top lips !

According to this photo , if Will is NOT setting down or Vince Vaughn is NOT standing on something , then theres APSOLUTELY NO WAY POSSIBLE Will is taller then 6'1 even standing tall !

the shredder says on 27/Jul/09
Rob , are you going to downgrade him ?

He was in boots in the pics lenad , Im not saying its fact but I would bet that his real height is 6'1 and is just claiming his height in footwear and just wants to be taller !

[Editor Rob: not at the moment.]
Lenad says on 27/Jul/09
To be fair he does look 6ft1ish in your pics Shredder
the shredder says on 27/Jul/09
Rob , how about 6'1.75 for him ? IMO he looks 6'1 flat with Baldwin and Goldblum , not 6'2 !
TELLEM says on 26/Jul/09
rob is correct, weak 6'2, meaning hes 6'1.5 throughout the day.
the shredder says on 26/Jul/09
Rob , you now think shorter ? What do you think with 6'4 Goldblum ?
the shredder says on 26/Jul/09
Rob , check this out , Adam Baldwin who you met and thought 6'4 makes Will look 6'1 , Goldblum is 6'4 and makes Will look 6'1 , why do you think Will is 6'2 ?

Click Here

Will is in boots in that film !

[Editor Rob: I think with baldwin a weaker 6ft 2.]
the shredder says on 25/Jul/09
LOL 6'4 is a real joke , I guess James Avery and Goldblum are 6'7 , the guy is not even 6'1.5 , I can't see how Rob has him listed this tall !
Brian says on 25/Jul/09
I was watching a documentary about Will, a few days ago, and it actually billed him at 6'4"! Come on, even Will himself has never claimed anything like that. Anyway, I never bought a full 6'2" for him, but somewhere between 6'1"-6'2" seems reasonable.
the shredder says on 23/Jul/09
Ok Viper , I repect your opinion but 6'0 is too low , He really is not more then strong 6'1 though IMO , the very lowest I see is a tad under 6'1 ! I'd buy under 6'1 before 6'2 1/2 or even 6'2 , I agree he does look 5'11 to 6'0 when he drops his posture !
crstoner says on 23/Jul/09
Will isnt 6-1 Shredder. Hes 6-0. Hes the same height there as Berrian yet hes wearing boots. But whatever

There are better pics out there that show Will to be no taller than 6-0. With fine posture no less. 6-1 for Will is a little ridiculous when he looks 5-11-6-0 with measured athletes.
the shredder says on 23/Jul/09
His bad posture puts him no more then 6'0 , standing up he looks 6'1 standing with legit 6'1 guys ! look at him with 6'1 Isiah Thomas , they look the same height , look at him with 6'1 Bernard , they look the SAME height with the SAME posture and Will is in boots and Bernard is in flats !

The man is saying his height in footwear or he is just lying !

Check him out with with 6'1 Bernard , SAME height , SAME posture , Boots vs Flats !

Click Here

How can anybody still be convinced he is strong 6'2 ?
Lenad says on 23/Jul/09
Oh come on hes got bad posture that makes him look 6ft1ish!!
the shredder says on 23/Jul/09
Ive always thought he was 6'1 , Im now convinced that 6'1 is his real height ! what 6'2 minimum guy in boots looks the same height as a 6'1 guy that is in flats ? Only " wanna be 6'2 minimum " Will Smith !
Clay says on 23/Jul/09
I thought YOU thought Will was 5'10.5 Viper? Cat bit your tongue?
