he could look that " BILL MUrray" height. Impossible for him to be under 6´1 but i wouldnt be surprised if he could measure 186,1 3 in the afternoon.

Editor RobAfter 5 hours of being up is fair...however maybe in Colin's case, he is a candidate who is 6ft 1 and a bit at lunch.

An honest 6'1 who can definitely look like he's dropping a fraction with his claim at times. He has good posture though.

187.5 morning, 185.5 night. So he probably doesnt drop below 6'1 and is more of a 6'1 1/8-6'1 1/4 guy

Similar to Cristiano Ronaldo in height and proportionally; has the good posture and looks to have a longer neck too. 185-185.5cm, nice height.

I could certainly see him as potential 186 cm. My brother met and was photographed at his work with Colin and Colin could seem a little under 2 inches shorter than my 6'3" brother.

How interesting to find out that Colin starred with Dad, Tom Hanks, and Liv Tyler, Charlize Theron and stepmother Rita Wilson in the feel-good movie 'That Thing You Do!', which was directed by Tom himself.
While trying to find out the height of Colin's birth mother, I actually did have success, but I came across some tragic news as well. The lady was Samantha Lewes, who worked as an actress and was Tom's first wife. She was 165cm, so Colin inherited his height from Dad. The devastating fact is that Samantha lost her battle against bone cancer while just 49, in March 2002.
😢 RIP Samantha XXX 🕯️💐
Tom's daughter, Elizabeth Ann Hanks, is the full sister of Colin, and the siblings have two half-brothers by Tom's marriage to actress Rita Wilson.
I'm giving Colin Hanks 6ft1.25 😁💕

Editor RobGenerally view them as being up several hours. In Colin's case, you could argue he is a more solid 6ft 1 than some other 6ft 1 guys look.

Editor RobB-C range is probably realistic for him...you could class Colin as a modest 6ft 1...in that, he may well measure a nickle over it but isn't that concerned with loose change.

@depressed schizophrenic There is way inflating it. If you compare Obama with Tom Hanks there is solid 1.5-1.75" range to Colin with his dad 1-1.25" so there will definitely be 3/8-1/2 inch between Obama and Colin. Kobe Bryant is only listed at 6'4 3/4 and look 4-4.25" taller than Obama. Obama look max 6'0.75" with him nothing more so Colin could never be over 6'0.5" and that is generous enough given it.

People get drunk all the time. There is less than 1.5" between Colin and his father Tom. Tom listed now at 5'11.5" but look nothing over 5'11.25" with 6'1 Obama and look max 3cm shorter than his son. I wouldn't go above 6'0.5" for Colin Hanks. Maybe he get measure 6'1 in the morning would be reliable.

Editor Rob Tom Hanks was taller than President Bush, who grew to 5ft 11.5 whilst in office...actually I believe what happened was Bush got measured in shoes and had shrunk a little bit, hence would be 5ft 10.5 barefoot.

He was obviously taller than Michael C. Hall, but a full 3 inches taller? I don't remember noticing that big a difference. He was much taller than Edward James Olmos. He's definitely taller than his father, but I have doubts it's more than an inch today: Click Here I haven't looked at him too much, but I'd guess he's more a 184 cm guy rounding up if his father is around 182 cm in most of their pics together.

Seriously hanks needs a little downgrade as he look a weak 6'1 for long while as concern somewhere 6'0.5 to 6'0.75 and the old listing 6'1.75 much likely accurate with a shoe height so he is like 6'0.5 , i think of solid 6'1 is freddie prinze jr, barrack obama, scott cohen, jeffrey dean morgan and jim parsons

Please don't try to argue Colin being taller than his 6'1 claim, just to make sense of Tom being 6ft. Tom Hanks is not 6ft anymore, maybe he was in his youth, but today he is more 181-182 cm range.
