Hello Rob,
you say he doesnt have a big head like Nash or Nairn,
but I think it does look that way because of the perspective of this photo.
He stands a bit diagonally to the camera. His right shoulder is in front and the center of his body and his head are a bit behind.
He has a very very big head: Almost twice of Lena Headeys Head
see here Click Here
I'm sure he is somewhere between 204 and 205 cm, because of lot of comparisons I have made.
look here: Click Here
Thats what he answered when he get asked how tall he is: 6'8" - 205 cm

Editor Rob with Lena there is vertical stretch.
He doesn't have a giant head, you can see his head with a taller con friend Here. That guy certainly doesn't have a massive head, near 10 inches which is similar to Hafthor's.

Do you have more shoe? I dont see much more than 6'7 from this one pic. Looks more 11 inches max really. He actually has pretty good proportions for a big guy.

Editor Rob pretty similar, around inch range.

A bit over a full head taller than Rob. His head is possibly 11 inches? If so then he's def about a foot taller than Rob here

Rob and Arch, I read that the 440 pound figure is his weight for strength competitions and that when not competing or during acting, his weight is rather less.

His shoulder looks to be in the 5'6.5" range next to Rob. But this guy probably has about 13" from shoulder to head than the usual bog-standard 12" like the most of us have.
So 6'7.5" ish for Hafthor.

Editor Rob This guy is around 380 pounds...Nairn has more bulk to him, he certainly looks a lot wider than Thor.

Height does not equal age. If he were 5'6", nobody would be saying he looks so much older than he is.

Some guys do age very fast in their 20s though. I know a guy who at 20-21 looked like a puny spotty teenager with floppy blond hair. Five years down the line he's the image of his old man, bald, fat,and bearded, looking older than I do too! At a quick glance he can pass for early 40s now too.

Editor Rob I think this photo is from Nearly age 18 so 8 years ago.

Rob, you do appear a bit under his chin... How long do you think his head is? He doesn't seem to have a particular big head, unlike a Kristian Nairn... Maybe a bit over 10 inches? He looks about 6'7 with you. What about your posture? I know you often lose height for some reason, even with very tall guys!

Editor Rob he stood well, which for a guy that height was good, I don't think his head is much over 10 inches. Certainly Nairn's got width/length to his head, also Nash has a slightly longer head I think.

Click Here That's what a 6'6 range 340 pound guy looks like. Not too much difference really although I think Bjornsson does look a bit bigger.

I can see 360-380 range, perhaps 400 with higher bodyfat a while back but no way is he even near 440 as you say. That was Big Show territory! He looks around 360 to me nowadays.

Honestly, Shaq is pretty much the same height as thor. He is solidly 6,6.5 - 6,7 . He was definitely an inch or inch and a half on ryan stiles on whos line is it anyway. He is about 6,7 no doubt and slouches a ton. I think 6,6.75 would fit shaw perfectly. Also, terry hollands is not far off from shaw so 6,5 for hollands makes sense.

the guy is huge WSM has him at 6'9".. Danimal is right. Hafthor is the tallest guy in the competition. so everyone else has to be shorter than 6' 7.75". Robert Oberst claims 6'8" but is shorter than Hafthor and Shaw

It would be cool if we could ever get a shot of Hafthor next to Kristian Nair who plays Hodor and is listed here at 6'9".
[Editor Rob: unfortunately I don't think Kristian can stand that tall anymore.
hafthor said his Granddad was taller than himself...]
His sheer size, yup, it's genetic alright, I'd guess both sides of his family have big Viking guys in them. is sheer height and mass is extraordinary, just not sure he is really 440lbs! Even 400 lbs seems extreme but is possible I suppose, about 28 stone.

Rob is he really 440 lbs in person? OK he's massive but I find it hard to believe he's 100 lbs heavier than a guy like Magnus Samuelsson who is almost as tall and as big.

This PROVES that Brian Shaw is only around 6'6" MAX and Terry Hollands is 6'4". All the WSM competitors are at least 2" shorter than their billed heights.
I don't know do you really ever see 2" height difference between Hafthor and Shaw? To me they always appear quite close like within an inch really. Click Here
I think Shaw could still be about 6'7" really.

6'7"? Huh, I thought he was a legit 6'9". He may be a lot shorter than the previous actors who played the Mountain, but he's still my favorite. And the amount of really tall men who still feel the need to overstate their height is ridiculous.
