I suppose I'd like to have been taller, slimmer. I was 5ft 10ins, and now I'm slowly shrinking. Everyone shrinks, don't they?

He's was 36 when he made that claim, I doubt he was actually shrinking then. These days though, he's probably lost a fraction or so. Seems to be a recurring theme of 5'8 range guys claiming 5'10.

He walked past me in Leicester Square in the early 2000's and I was surprised how tiny he was. I'm 180cm so to look tiny he would have to be below 5ft 8

When did he look taller than Tom Cruise in that clip? Tom was tilting his head forward , the tops of their heads looked equal. This is a typical 5'8" guy who is trying to claim 5'10".
Even Tom claims 5'9" lol.

As I saw Graham was doing handshake with Tom Cruise on his show back in late 2012, he seems like inch taller than Tom Cruise IMO. 5ft 8 half could be his peak height during his 30s and 40s.... Anyways, I do have some similarities with him as same Birthday month as my bday is April 13 while his bday is on 4th of April so me and him are BOTH ARIES MEN WITH SIMILAR HEIGHT RANGE...

Graham always gives us such an enjoyable show and I love his laugh! I knew a six-footer who laughed like that, but he wasn't overly excited when I told him...
Gorgeous funnyman Graham gets 5ft8.5.

Considering his age, I'm going to guess he was half an inch taller than the 5ft 8.5 listing at his peak.

Considering his age, a peak height listing should be added, as its likely that he was once around an inch taller.

5ft8.5 seems about right for Graham, though I think he was only an inch more at his peak. The beard suits him! It makes him look super-masculine! I wonder if that's the look he's after? 😱

People below are mentioning how Johnny Depp and Sylvester Stallone looked about an inch taller than Graham on his show. Well, Depp and Stallone have been known to wear lifts. Graham is not a 'short' guy. I'd say he's closer to 5' 9" than he is to 5' 8". When my 5' 3.5"-to-5' 4" sister had her picture taken beside his waxwork in Madame Tussaud's in London a few years ago, Norton's waxwork stood a good 5 inches taller than her.

He got tiny next to 5'9 Petra Mede (Swedish comedian) while presenting the Eurovision song contest. Ok, she was wearing heels but anyway I think that 5'7 or 5'8 is a good figure for him.

I think the height is spot on for Graham 5ft 8 and a half. I'm 41 and am 5ft 9 but 12 years ago i was 5ft 11 so how can one explain that, mind you i have got severe scoliosis.

@Silent d He's 49 Which in my humble opinion isn't really old enough for any tangible height loss. Not to mention that quote is 12 years old - At age 37 as he would have been in 2000, I highly doubt he would have lost any height from peak unless he had some sort of medical condition, certainly not the 2 inches that the listing would suggest. IMO it's an exaggeration. I'd say 5'9 peak and current listing correct.

I thought he was 5 foot 8. 174cm is about right. He was a little taller than ricky gervais. He was pretty much the same height as johnny depp. 174cm. He said he was shrinking. How old is he? 50's?

Andre was measured at 5'8.5" in sneakers right? So 5'7.5" barefeet? Mmm. The thing is Graham was the exact same height as Andrew Lloyd Webber who is listed at 5'9.25 (176cm). I think he could be 5'9" morning height perhaps. Definately more than a flat 5'8" though. He did look a shade shorter than Jon Bon Jovi I thought although we couldn't see their footwear. He did look 1.5 taller than Moyles who I suspect is more a flat 5'7". 174cm then definately seems reasonable.

Also Norton is around 4.5-5 inches shorter than Russell Brand judging by pics I've seen of them. I think 5'9" adds up in just about every pic I've seen of him...

Rob, check out the Norton and David Tennant pic. If Tennant is the full 6'1" then Norton is minimum 5'9". Tennant is max 4 inches taller, norton comes up to his eyebrow level . I'm a bit taller than Tennant and if I stand straight against a height chart my eye level is in the 5'10-5'10.5" range Please see it and it light of the others consider an upgrade. He was also about 1.5-2 inches taller than Pete Andre who is 5'7.5". I'd say a solid 5'9". In all honesty I don't think he could give a monkeys about his height, and as Parker says unlike somebody like SImon Cowell is unlikely to inflate their height by two inches. 5'8.75"-5'9" flat is reasonable I think. You can see how he compares to Jon Bon Jovi who always has a footwear advantage over people his real height.

Editor Rob i looked at andre meeting him and didn't see 2 inches, but 174 seems closer than 173 was, a solid 5ft 9 I'm not as sure of yet.

He doesn't appear the type of guy who would claim 2 inches over his height. I know a lot of people, especially males, round up even if their closer to their lower one each mark (i.e 5'6.25->5'7), e.g I doubt Simon Cowell is a full 5'9. I agree that Norton is closer to the 5'9 mark than 5'8.

Rob on youtube see Bon Jovi on The Graham Norton Show. He's a whisker shorter than Jon Bon Jovi who I have as a strong 5'9" and generally wears clumpy shoes and Norton looks easily 3 inches taller than 5'5.5"-5'6" Tico Torres. I think an upgrade to 5'8.75" would be reasonable. There's no way he's a flat 5'8" compared to Moyles.

Rob google image Norton and Moyles. There's no way that's just half an inch. I know you can't see their footwear but Norton generally wears flat shoes or flat converse type sneakers. I''m convinced Graham Norton is 5'9". He has around 1.5 inches on Chris Moyles which you've listed at 5'7.5" and has always looked 5'9" range to me, 5'8.5" at lowest.

Rob I actually think you've hit too low on this one. Graham Norton has always struck me as an average height guy and always looks 5'9" range to me. There is no way that he is the same height as Dermot o Learey. I think 174-175cm is a lot more accurate.

He can't be bigger than 5'7''. He was almost the same height as Elijah Wood once, when Elijah was wearing high heeled boots. Elijah is about 5'5''barefoot.

Was watching Graham Norton next to Lee Mead on the finding a Joseph programme and wondered how tall both of them were 'cos Lee Mead looks about two inches taller. So is Graham Norton 5' 7''..or 5ft 10 ? 5ft 8 minus shoes, maybe ?

I remember him interviewing 6'1 3/4" (as listed on here) rutger hauer a couple of years ago on UK tv. There wasn't a great deal between them at the end of the show when they stood next to each other (3-4 inches absolute max). Perhaps Norton is taller than we think? I think his camp, annoyingly whiney image makes us think he is bordering on the short side, when he may be a more average 5'9"?
