For me I’m 5’11 - 181cm. And I thought he was about the same height as me cause dean chapman is 5’8 and it looks accurate in eye level. I think he’s 5’11 in shoes he’s an ease 6ft-184cm. Barefoot I’m saying 5’11

Swear to God though, he looked really tall in 1917, like at least 6ft3!

Solid 183cm at least, 182cm is too low for him....185cm might be pushing it though

182-183 cm range is arguable, 184 is out of the question for me. Chapman is a little taller than Andrew Scott and a little shorter than Richard Madden, so 174 cm range seems right for him. Definitely looks less than 10 cm between them Click Here, Click Here, Click Here. Maybe Chapman is closer to 5'8.75 but I still wouldn't go over 6ft for MacKay.

Watching 1917 I thought he was much taller than this! This has got to be a very strong 6ft guy at least.

If he had a 6-1 guys eye level shouldn't he be able to look over 5-8.5 Dean Charles chapman's head ? Chapman looks to be coming just over the top of his eye brow and we know George has a short forehead. So I ask how can he possibly be over six feet keeping these things in mind?

He looks 6'0.25-6'0.5 range to me Rob, I can't see him as just 6ft flat. I thought he was like 6'3 in 1917. He should be due an upgrade soon. He was taller than Sophie Turner who is 5'9 and she was wearing heels. She was maybe around 185cm in heels and he was 186cm in regular dress shoes.
184cm barefoot for me. Although I'm not sure if he is 6'0.25 or 6'0.5. Alas he is definitely over 6ft. I'll guess him at 6'0.25.

Editor RobHe could pull off strong 6ft range, has the frame and eyelevel to probably look 6ft 1 to other people.

Yeah I feel someone like Dan Stevens or Jack Huston would edge this guy. That not so long head could make him not quite 6ft, or a weaker one, whereas if he had above average head size he'd maybe clear the mark comfortably.

@Rob: Would you say his head size is a bit on the smaller side for someone above average height? I'd say he can somewhere in 182-183 cm range. He has good posture and tends to tilt his eyelevel up a bit, so he might appear over 6ft at times, but 6ft flat is more than fine for George.
He's very similar to Charlie Hunnam:

Consistantly looks about 3 inches taller than Dean-Charles Chapman (Over 5'8.5 is quite possible for him).

Editor RobHe is close to 6ft generally, helped by not having a long head, and a skinny frame.

I did think he looked barely 5'11 with Mark Strong in 1917. Click Here The on-set photos do show Strong has a bit more heel than MacKay, but surely that's not more than, like, a half-inch difference, right?
He edged Cumberbatch and was a fair bit taller than Richard Madden, so I don't actually think he's below this. Just seemed pretty peculiar.

Strangely looked 5'10.5" or 179cm in the film 1917. Although looks around 6'0" in premieres.
