I'm 187 CM with an inseam of 28 inches. Is that short for my height? My torso does seem very long.
AAAA said on 12/Jul/16
interesting article here from a costume designer who worked with Hugh Jackman for one of his one man plays. He seamstress says he has a 37 in inseam!?!?! Thats just absurd. I'm going to guess the avg 6'1-6'2 guy has a 33 or a 34. If this is true I can't imagine him being any less than 6'2 at his prime.

Rob, any info or stats on this kinda stuff? Most people I've met with 36+ inseams are 6'4 or greater. Not saying Jackman is or has ever been over his claimed 6'2, I think you've got his current listing spot on. I'm just curious. That kids leg to torso ratio reminds me of someone like a young Clint Eastwood.

maybe the seamstress got a little excited at the thought of running her tape up Jackman's legs...and put down the wrong number...

Jackman in those shoes Id say is 190cm+

Hugh Jackman's hair adds an inch of height in that photo, but he does look taller than Nicole Kidman by about 2-3 CM still.
Alex said on 27/Jun/16
In that photo Kidman looks tall as Jackman with those heels, around 6 cm (179 + 6 cm of heel). 187 cm should be right for him.
Daniel Ross said on 27/Jun/16
He looked 6'2 in x-men days of future past next to 6'2.75 Nick Hoult

Rob what do you think of this photo taken from a show in 1995?

Editor Rob
it's interesting as there will be variables like 'what is he wearing' and how much height would the camera add to him.
Arch Stanton said on 28/May/16
I can definitely see how some of these celebs seem to lose height early on. If you consider how much wear and tear these actors go through in making action films, over time it's going to take its toll. I twinged my back recently and am having trouble recovering as when I'm in bed I seem to keep pulling it when I turn. Very sensitive things backs, so I can certainly see how people like Jackman could lose a bit of height in 40s.
Editor Rob
Jackman has done a lot of heavy lifting over 15 years...I don't think that has helped.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 17/May/16
187cm minimum today
Johno said on 14/May/16
Didn't look much taller than Jonathon Ross and knowing Ross's height, that is rather worrying, very worrying if he claims 6'2.
Mark said on 13/May/16
Jackman can still pull of 6'2" in the morning today.

Looks a strong 6ft2/weak 6ft3 in his early 2000's movies.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 21/Apr/16
Not convinced he was anything less than 6ft2(188cm) 10-15 years ago.

Rob, who appears to be taller in the photo to you with him Garrett Hedlund? Garrett Hedlund seems to be a bit taller than him in my opinion.
Editor Rob
there's quite a few photos and they look quite close, within the similar kind of range...I did notice at one premiere Garrett had a slightly thicker boot than the shoe hugh was in.

How come Garrett Hedlund is listed at 186 CM if Hugh Jackman is listed as 187 CM?
TJE said on 17/Apr/16
Rob, could he just be 6'1.75? I'm really not convinced he's lost anything and he also looks 8 cm taller than Russel Crowe.
Celebheights 6'1.75 said on 17/Apr/16
Garrett Hedlund (6'1 1/2") appears to be taller than him in every single photo of the two together.
Andrea said on 13/Apr/16
Lol Rob, how can you still believe 188 night is still possible for Hugh???
He did look at least an inch shorter than Brandon Routh and 5 inches shorter than Daniel Cudmore...
He has NEVER been 6'2 in his life, unless he started shrinking at 30, of course :)
Editor Rob
maybe Hugh could follow the G pattern...shrinking from 5ft 8 to 5ft 6.5 in mid 30's, then regrowing to 5ft 8 in 40's.

If he measured 187 in his 30's it certainly wouldn't be a huge surprise, although for the moment I feel he could pull off near enough 6ft 2.
AAAA said on 13/Apr/16
Found this interesting. Hugh next to Charles Barkely, and the Rock next to Charles Barkely. Based on where their eyes are hitting on Barkely's head, I would say Hugh looks to have the Rock (eyes are near mouth for both. Barkely's eyebrows are at the hairline/top of head for hugh, and clearly over the Rock)
Click Here
Click Here

Rock has better posture in this photo, but neither he or Charles are perfect.

Hugh is also in front of Charles at the White House pic.

Maybe it is all in the camera but I can't see the Rock having 1.5'' on Hugh if they were next to each other. If Hugh is 6'1.5 then the rock is looking 6'2-6'2.25 to me.
What do you think Rob?
Orca said on 13/Apr/16
People will be shorter when they are older. I think Hugh Jackman is 6ft2 (1m88) now and 10 years ago he is more than 6ft2 (1m89). I see him in X-Man Originals, he is really tall.

Hugh always looks tall. Probably because he's fairly lean.

Johno said on 23/Mar/16
To be fair, Luke Evans looked shorter next to Kellan Lutz and Henry Cavil than he did with Jonathon Ross and Hugh Jackman, something was not quite right there. I don't believe neither Ross or Jackman are shorter than Lutz or Cavil. Kellan looked around 5'11.75 - 6'0 with Rob.

Also Luke Evans just about looked an inch or so taller than Eric Roberts who looked no taller than 5'8 next to Rob. I don't believe Evans is above 5'10, he was not taller than Sir Ian Mackellan.

Hugh and Ross looked the same height but i am going to Push Hugh to 6'1 because i am confident Ross is on the lower of the 6'0-range.

Jonathan Ross 6'0.25
Hugh 6'1
Luke Evans, no taller then 5'10
Lutz 5'11.75, 6'0
Cavil 5'11.75, 6'0

there's a niche for many aspects of height...

amaterasu said on 15/Mar/16
Rob, how likely is 185-6 range for him ? I can agree with your listing, but he also look like a 6'1" flat guy a lot.
Editor Rob
if I was betting, I wouldn't put much money on it...if it was around 187cm I'd put a bigger bet on that.
Mr S said on 8/Mar/16
@ Rob: What do you think caused him to shrink in his 40's? He seems to be a fit, healthy man it's very odd that he has lost half an inch at 47. Considering that Stallone and Liam Neeson have only lost half an inch and they are in their 60's 1/2 inch at 47 seems strange.
Editor Rob
I think for 15 years Jackman has done a good amount of heavy lifting and it has taken it's toll by a centimetre.
Dejavu said on 6/Mar/16
He was an undisputed 6'2 in his prime.
Johno said on 2/Mar/16
Sometimes Rob, i reckon you get visted. I do hear passions flare on here. Hugh does not wear lifts in most events, maybe just for Wolverine. He don't need to wear lifts simply because he is taller then most stars; i can name quite a few who do at most times though.

6'1
AAAA said on 1/Mar/16
@ Grizz. The 1st photo was meant to show the heel. Not for a height comp. her posture is loose but so is his. Tinyurl was giving me issues. Can't post the link. Try googling it if you're curious. Lots of shots from that premier. There's another photo of them all standing straight relative to one another. He's clearing Jansen and Romain by an easy 2 inches of not more with a downward head tilt. I agree he is likely 6'1.5 now that rob has him listed at. I do think all the weight lifting has caused him to lose a half inch at 45. I misspoke before when I said minimum. I could see the argument being made for looking 6'1.5 in the same photos. It comes down to what would be hit standing military. my point was that if he was really only 6-6'.05 like some have been claiming he couldn't look that tall with an in sneaker height of 6'1. Jansen would have had to show up to the premiere barefoot and walk in a trench for this pic to work. She's listed here at 5'11.5. Unfortunately the only other pic I can find isn't full body.

Rob, can you make sure the address I post makes it I. Even if it isn't a link? Thanks. If anyone can find a full scale versio. Of this it would be great.

@AAAA, he's the same height, if not a tiny bit shorter than Rebecca. It's just she didn't stand straight - hence the illusion.
184.3cm (Night) said on 26/Feb/16
6'1.5" sometimes looks closer to 6'1 because of less posture/footwear. Can look very near 6'2 at times.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 25/Feb/16
Remember, Hugh is about 10 years older than Ryan. I think in his 30s he looked in the same range as Reynolds, Affleck or Bana (188-190cm).
grizz said on 24/Feb/16
I still think that interview wasn't serious.
Hugh answered that it was something to do with his character development or some story reason .
Which is ridiculous. Jackman's Wolverine looks nothing like comic book Wolverine. He's tall and slim while Wolverine is short and stocky.
For more genuine portrayal, he should've been more masculine, hunch a lot and do shootings with bare feet and not appear taller.

If true, however, that might make Jackman 6'1.75 peak and 6'1.25 now.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 23/Feb/16
187cm minimum. Still looks 6ft2 now
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 22/Feb/16
6ft1 flat or less is a joke.
Candyman said on 22/Feb/16
Ryan said Jackman wore lifts to "appear taller than" not as tall as his costar, Ryan Reynolds.
Aaron Zamora said on 21/Feb/16
I think that it's time for a lower downgrade for Jackman. Maybe 6'0.5-6'1 after the interview between him and Ryan Reynolds.
Johno said on 19/Feb/16
I wonder who this certain co-star was in Ryan's visibly awkward question about lifts .......
Gary said on 17/Feb/16

Watch Ryan Reynolds interview Hugh Jackman. He looked about the same height because he was wearing lifts! Reynolds ribs him about it.

If Reynolds is 6'1 or 6'2 then Jackman MUST be shorter than 6'2, else why would have have to wear them on set?
Dejavu said on 17/Feb/16
He looked about the same with Ryan Reynolds
Gary said on 16/Feb/16
He was forced to wear lifts on "Wolverine" to appear as tall as Ryan Reynolds as confessed in an interview between the two of them.

I think Jackman is 6'0 or 6'1.
Dan said on 12/Feb/16
Look at this picture with Bradley Cooper (listed 6ft 0.5in) : Click Here

I honestly don't see more than 1.5 cm between them... So that would put Hugh Jackman at no more than 6' 1".
Johno said on 8/Feb/16
The reason why he stated that he was told to lie about his height and state 6'0 rather then a higher heigt, or his real height according to him, may have more got to so the fact that their might be earlier sources out there that state this height and might be closer to his real height rather trying to underplay his tall stature ---- height is always a good thing and i don't understand why he would feel to downgrade it, i don't believe would downgrade his height.
kurtz said on 4/Feb/16
6' 1''
185 cm.
186 cm. max
S.J.H said on 2/Feb/16
No johno. Bradley cooper look shorter than jackman at least 1.25" taller. I would rule out 3.5cm difference. Jackman could have fall as weak 6'2 but not under 6'1.5
Johno said on 27/Jan/16
In all fairness to Hugh, most layman over estimate thier heights ----- well men anyway; by 1.5 inches, i have seen this often thus, to keep in everything relative, i can see why he claims 6'2, that is because most people who don't pay much attention to height would state he is tall and 6'2 and similarily over-state their own respective heights. Bradley Cooper Rob has listed at 6'0.5 and Hugh Jackman strangely looks exactly the height as him.
Johno said on 22/Jan/16

Click Here

With Sugar Ray Leonard who Rob has been pictured, Rob lists him at 5'9 but i don't see any height difference between Rob and Ray. Like Rob, Ray is between 5'8-5'8.5 and most importantly, Hugh obviously does not have 4-inches on him ---- try 3.5-inches.

If Sugar Ray is between 5'8 - 5'8.5, then Hugh looks between 5'11.5 - 6'0 in comparison to him and consistently does. Thus, these estimates of 6'1.75 or even above 6'1 look quite surprising.

As i said before, 6'1 is a decent estimate; certainly with any possible comparison to Rob, Hugh's height would drop even further.
joe## said on 19/Jan/16
peak 190 cm and 191 cm is impossible he would have this in 6'2.5-25
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 18/Jan/16
He might measure a little under 6ft2 today at worst but he's definitely not as low as 6ft1 flat. He easily looked in the same range as Ben Affleck 10-15 years ago.

Does not fair well with Jake Gyllenhaal, who we know is ~ 5'10.5 as per recent measurement [ Tapes don't lie], the difference between is maximum 2 inches and probably a bit less. Therefore, 6'1 is a correct ceiling for him, he probably measures even less.

Dan said on 24/Dec/15
This guy always looked so tall to me, even though he's only 6'2. It's probably because of his very long legs.
Logan said on 17/Dec/15
Hey Rob, has he noticeably dropped that half inch you downgraded him to in his recent movies? Or is it an assumption based on his increasing age?

to me, I think he has lost a bit of height from looking at him recently and 15 years ago.

hugh jackman strikes me in some interviews i have seen him in as being over the top enthusiastic like Tom cruise. You know being overly smiley and friendly to the point where it seems quite threating. Except maybe tom cruise is more genuine about his beliefs and ideas etc..... My dad pointed out after watching jackman on Jonathan ross that he's a weird guy and I do agree.


Like i said in my last post with someone like Ewan Mcgregor his nice guy personality just seems more natural and 'real'. Hugh Jackman seems like he tries to hard to be very nice where it seems like an act.

I am quite suprised I am the only one who gets this vibe from Hugh but that's just me.
James B said on 12/Nov/15
Rob am I the only one who gets that impression hugh jackman seems like a bit of 'fake' nice guy who might be quick to turn if you did something to piss him of?

An actor like Ewan Mcgregor comes acros as being a genuinely nice laid back person. Hugh on the other hand seems quite excitable and fiery. It seems like he has a forced smile on his face a lot like a bit over the top.

He is a family man so I could be wrong.
Editor Rob
there's always spurilous rumours surrouding actors.

I've watched a fair amount of interviews with him over the years and he seems like a decent bloke...

He looked a strong 6'2 but he could dip a bit under 6'2 today.
Dan said on 15/Oct/15
Rob, I think he has never been 6' 2". He hasn't been lifting very much weight and he's still young. In my opinion he didn't shrink and he has always been 6' 1.5". What do you say? Just like other guys said it before, he sometimes even struggles to look 6' 1"...
Sam said on 14/Oct/15
There's a lot of photos where Jackman looks 6'1.5" frankly, but he doesn't always stand his best, and near other 6'2" rangers like Ryan Reynolds or Ben Affleck he really doesn't look under 6'2" IMO.
Ray said on 13/Oct/15

Allie said on 11/Oct/15
I don't what you guys are talking about. I don't remember Famie wearing that big footwear. Wolverine has his big boots right that would make him like 6'3 range. While Famke in The Last Stand she spent several scenes wearing nothing!
James B said on 7/Oct/15
James marsden fisch
GP said on 7/Oct/15
Fisch, because he is not 6'2" that he claims, he was the lead in the movie and they were trying to hype his character to start up Wolverine movie chain and when he you are up against a female actress who is very tall, as Famke is and in heels, she would most likely edge him out. Those are the main reasons that he would wear lifts, because in movies is all about perception, go watch some John Wayne movies.
Dejavu said on 7/Oct/15
I thought Hugh Jackman edged out Garrett Hedlund
fisch said on 7/Oct/15
GP, why should they give him lifts for x-men, when wolverine is actually meant to be 5'4''. hugh was actually way too tall for the role.
It was James marsden, who played cyclops, who wore 2 inch lifts in the movie.
Max said on 6/Oct/15
Is 5'10" considered short now???? Or its just that Hugh Jackman is tall not average?
GP said on 2/Oct/15
Rob, how come you have him the same height at 187 as Dev Patel. Didn't Patel look about an inch taller in the movie and on the premiere? Makes me question his statement that he is 6'2". I always thought he was 185 with long arms and long legs that gave the impression that he was taller. And if I'm not wrong, they had him in lifts in x-men
Editor Rob
they look very close to me, with possible slight advantage to Dev.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 12/Sep/15

He can look 6'1-6'2 these days but I think he is closer to 6'2. At times he could look the same as Ryan Reynolds.
ManKo said on 1/Sep/15
He didnt do that much of heavy lifting, and he is young. If guys like the rock dont have a peak hight (he lift way heavier than Hugh) or guys like Bill Kazmaier (world strongest man, now in his 60s, he doenst have a peak heigh either), Hugh shouldnt have one either.

Believing he's (still) near 6'2 would be much more insane! With Beckham he struggles to look 6'1, same thing with Lebron! Today he doesn't look much over 6'1, so it's up to you to believe whether he's shrunk and he was nearer 6'2 when "younger" or he's never been much over 6'1! :)
Also, Hugh is not your average joe... As Rob said, he spent many years lifting heavy weights so a small loss is possible. One thing, back in 2006, he already didn't look over 6'1.5 with Brandon Routh, so i doubt he's ever been 6'2, people like Lance Reddick who claims 6'2 too would be easily an inch taller than him!!!
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 24/Jul/15

I don't think a peak height is at all necessary.

He was no doubt 6'2" at his peak, but with all the heavy lifting he has done, it's pretty clear he has lost some height, he might not be as low as Rob lists him, maybe 6'1.75 is more reasonable?

170 pounds ain't all that skinny for 6'2 i mean look at James stewart.

I wonder rob 'naturally' is hugh jackman small framed?

It is light side. I think anywhere from 180-200lbs is the "ideal" weight range for 6ft2. But then again it is all about bone structure. Jackman pre-Wolverine was naturally lean whereas someone like John Goodman is naturally bulky
Editor Rob
I suppose in a gym setting with other guys, they might see 170 as like quite skinny in comparison to other physiques you see at the gym.

Rob can you add this quote from a mens fitness article


“I weighed 170 pounds, I was 6'2", and I was just skin and bones,” he says of his early 20s. “The guys in the locker room used to go, ‘Hey, Skinny! Hey, Ana!’—they used to call me Ana, for anorexic—and I’d go, ‘You tell me a practical application of a 350-pound press, and I’ll do it!’”

there's probably enough quotes, but I'll mention how he weighed 170 pounds as he says in early 20's.

I still think 187cm is too low.
Yaspaa said on 25/May/15
Bill Kazmaier has put his body through way more punishment than your usual bodybuilder or actor who lifts and he's lost little to no height in his 60s. You do it right, you'll be fine. I don't see how you can tell 0.25" anyway. Hugh doesn't lift that heavy either, he still looks good in a suit.
Judd said on 22/May/15
as i said before, i have a lot of perplexities regarding his shrinkage...
IMO he ever been and still is today a 187 cms guy, so 6'1.75" as a unique height is fine.

I thought when he made an appearence on WWE raw last year he looked 6'2
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 8/Apr/15
If anything, his training has probably helped him maintain his height.
Editor Rob
I wouldn't say that, from all I've read (and this is in actual medical research) I think the risks are increased significantly.

From one paper:

"When comparing lumbar magnetic resonance images of 24 runners, 26 soccer players, 19 weight lifters, and 25 shooters, disc degeneration and bulging were most common among weight lifters; soccer players had similar changes in the L4-S1 discs"

"Maximal weight lifting was associated with greater degeneration throughout the entire lumbar spine, and soccer with degeneration in the lower lumbar region. No signs of accelerated disc degeneration were found in competitive runners".

I personally wouldn't recommend those who value height and back health to be lifting really heavy in their late 30's and 40's. Also I strongly recommend anybody who smokes to try quitting the habit as it is associated with increased risks of degeneration.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 6/Apr/15
Personally, I don't think he's lost any height at all. We don't know what's going on shoe-wise between those two. To me, he's a real 6ft2 guy who doesn't see the need to wear big shoes at events unlike Ryan Reynolds who I think may have some complex. It's my opinion

I do believe Liev is taller though
Judd said on 4/Apr/15
Rampage, no doubt that in that picture he does look even taller than a flat 6'2", however we don't know what kind of shoes the actors wear...
I think Liev Schreiber is at least 6'2.5" (with a good chance of being 6'2.75"), but from what we know it's also possible that Liev wore classical dress shoes while Jackman (being dressed like Luois XIV) a typical XVII century shoes like these: Click Here

from that picture, with similar shoes, Jackman does look a strong 6'3 (even 6'3.5"), but i still think that he was at peak 6'1.75" (or a flat 187 cms guy) and today has lost a really small fraction (less that 1/4 of inche IMO), considering his current age.

Yaspaa said on 22/Mar/15
He only started getting bigger for the Wolverine part where he had special trainers. His musculature fluctuates between roles. There are former world strongest men competitors far older than him with no to little height loss. He's fit and healthy with a strong body that promotes height, he shouldn't be losing height until his 70s barring injury or illness.
cole said on 20/Mar/15
@berta: Not long ago he posted a video where he deadlifted nearly 400lbs: Click Here If that's not heavy lifting, I don't know what is. Deadlifts are especially hard on your back, and that's something he has done all his muscle building life, so it's bound to take it's toll when approaching 50. Either way, to get the amount of muscle mass he has had over the years, I assure you heavy lifting is quite required.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 13/Mar/15
But, Rob you never had Pitt here at 6ft....or did you? Maybe over time you're opinion of Ryan Reynolds will change. I personally don't believe Jackman has lost height but I respect your opinions. Maybe in a few years you'll change your tune about Ryan Reynolds and believe that all along he wore bigger shoes than Hugh.

@Andrea, notice the brackets. I'm referring to the fact that once upon a time Hugh Jackman was listed here at 189cm and people would laugh at likes of you
Editor Rob
Pitt I'm certain was 6ft for a period back in the early days.
Of course opinions/estimates can change. With an ever increasing amount of pages on the site, it can become harder over time to keep track. Sometimes it's just small adjustments here and there, better 'fits' if you understand.

It's always worth remembering though that changing a guess still doesn't change what a person gets measured at. We might assume the updated listing is nearer to what we think they measure, but none of us without measuring can say, it's a probable/best guess scenario. That's why meeting actors and using them as references can help with the ongoing celebrity height puzzles.
slothee said on 12/Mar/15
At age 46 he's lost half an inch?! That seems a bit much height to lose at his age.
Editor Rob
could be worse, there's a well known Bigfoot Anthropologist who lost 1.3 inches by age 40!

He then got hold of a special potion called 'Yetiurina' which made him taller again!
Andrea said on 12/Mar/15
Lol, 189 at least? Unless Brandon Routh is 6'3.5 it's hard to believe he "was" 6'2.5, even 10 years ago! The only way he could have been 189 is in shoes!

[Editor Rob: harder to say, but you couldn't rule out a tad shy of 6ft 2 10 years ago]

You definitely weren't saying that 10 years ago...during the "189cm at least" days of Jackman when no one was arguing 6ft2 and below but instead arguing 6ft3!

Either one of them is not listed correctly
184.3cm said on 9/Mar/15
6'1.5 is good for Hugh although i think maybe even a fraction less but small fraction nothing big. Beckham was measured at 5'10.5 during his run in the Man U youth team so it is possible he grew a bit since he was only 17 years old but 5'11 flat is really max i would give him. Just like his own claim.
vince somerhalder said on 9/Mar/15
hugh jackman is a legit 6'2. Patel is slightly shorter

Dejavu said on 7/Mar/15
He looked at least the same next to Patel. Maybe he is a bit under 6'2 today but there is without a doubt that he was a legit 6'2.
Lorne said on 7/Mar/15
I hate to nitpick, but 5'11 range is 180-181. 182 is closer to 6 feet. I would consider 182 weak 6ft range, like Steve Martin or maybe Jensen, than I would ever use to describe BP!

prolonged and repetitive heavy lifting, either through weight or job related will put excessive stresses on the spinal structure, leading to far greater chance of damage.

There's enough for me to see him as having lost height compared to early 30's.

Beckham can pull off looking 182 at times though...
Arch Stanton said on 1/Mar/15
He definitely looks shorter to me than he did 10-15 years ago. At times he could even look like 189 but now he consistently looks in 6'1" range to me. He's had a fair few health problems, and as you say with all the wear and tear of training and roles not impossible he's already lost a bit.
Editor Rob
the fella has played that Wolverine role in numerous movies. I think when you are lifting big weights consistantly Like Him in your late 30's and early 40's, the discs are under a lot of intensive loading stresses.

He's still managing 400 pound dead lifts at 46 which is good going!
Lorne said on 28/Feb/15
Half inch t 46 seems a bit incredulous... A fraction is certainly possible, but he seems to be in pretty good shape, to say the least.

I'll go 187cm peak, maybe a fraction less now.
Andrea said on 27/Feb/15
In the first picture he looks around an inch taller than Beckham, in the second one 1.5 inches, maybe 2 if Hugh stood "straight"... And this is not a surprise at all, this is just a realization (like when Rob met big G) that Hugh is noway near 6'2! 6'1.5 is the most i'd argue today and i wouldn't be surprised at all if he was closer to 6'1 flat! He's 46 today, so yeah, he might have lost a fraction due to his intensive trainings, but i doubt it's more than a cm! He's never been 6'2, he already looked not over 6'1.5 10 years ago next to Brandon Routh, so the listing should be more 6'1.5, maybe 6'1.75 on a good day at peak and 6'1-6'1.25 today! But Rob always tries to be conservative so he goes with "6'2 peak"...
184.3cm said on 27/Feb/15

Arch Stanton said on 27/Feb/15
Rob did you see the pics with Beckham? Click Here Something doesn't look right! Difficult to see 8 cm between them! It is time for a downgrade for Hugh? He's been looking 6'1" range a lot in recent times.
Editor Rob
I don't know how great Hugh stands at times, but 6ft 1.5 today seems more likelier. I think although now late 40's, his roles, especially the training for playing his wolverine character, might have at least started to take a fraction off him.

I will say that I met Hugh Jackman a few times when he did theater, and I immediately thought, "Wow, he's tall!" I'm short - around 5'6" and was wearing heels and in the pictures he took with me, he definitely looked at least half a foot taller, probably more. Maybe 8 inches taller. I think 6'2" seems accurate - in fact, I'd argue that in person he looked taller than that. He just has a natural tendency to bend his head and legs slightly to look shorter because he seems a little embarrassed by his height. I definitely noticed this in person.

Well, there's some tilt in that photo which favours Beckham a little... But, yeah, Hugh is 2 inches taller at most which actually is not a surprise at all! The more i see him the more he can look 6'1-6'1.5! Always a chance he's lost a cm (at worst) so maybe he could have been 6'1.5-6'1.75 when younger and more 6'1-6'1.5 now! 6'2 is a very optimistic listing!

Ryan Reynolds: 6'2.25" (he's 1 inch shorter than Snoop Dogg, but one could use Jeff Daniels as a case of him not being that much past 6'2" since Jeff Daniels did have half an inch on him)
Hugh Jackman: 6'1.75" (he's shorter than Ryan Reynolds, and he's exactly the same as Adrian Peterson who was measured at 6'1.5" at the combine. He strikes me as being the same as Tom Hiddleston, who you have as 6'1.75"). Ryan Reynolds is slouching in the photos where he appears taller.

Yeah, a small lost is not totally impossible for a guy like him, but we're talking about what, Rob? Half an inch? Maybe a quarter inch? And when do you think he "started" losing height? You can see him at only 38 next to Brandon Routh and he already didn't look over 6'1.5 there... So, he's what today? 6'1-6'1.25?
Editor Rob
in last 5 years a fraction. Of course he could have been a little under 6ft 2, not everyone will fall bang on equal inches, for every guy who does there's one who will be on the 3/4 or 1/4 or 1/2.
grizz said on 5/Feb/15
Rob, I think it's time to downgrade him to 187. He sure was a full 6ft2 guy,but not anymore. Seeing him with Fallon made that all much easier to conclude.
Editor Rob
it is a possibility, even though 46 years old, I think his physical roles and what I'd say was excessive lifting could have potentially contributed a cm loss.
Penguinboy25 said on 5/Feb/15
Just so you know not everyone shrinks the same amount daily.
Andrea said on 31/Jan/15
Well, 6'1.5 morning is a bit hard to believe because that would put him under 6'1 at his low. At the same time, 6'2 seems a stretch for sure, after seeing him with many people. I could buy 6'1.5, maybe 6'1.75 on a very very good day...
Arch Stanton said on 31/Jan/15
6'1.5 morning? I'd say it's a safe bet he clears 6'2" out of bed. Cohen for me is taller than a flat 6'3".
Judd said on 31/Jan/15
No penguin, I do not agree! 6'0.75-1" (so likely 6'1.5" in the morning is quite unbelievable)...
Jackman has (averagely) 2" on Famke Janssen, who I am sure is a bit taller than a flat 5'11"...
Rob has listed famke at 5'11.5" (so in the 181,2-181,6 cms range) but personally I think she's a flat 182 cms girl (so in the 181,8-182,2 cms range) and 5'11.75" would be her perfect listing!
In this case Jackman is in the 187's zone, so 6'1.5-1.75" is fair!
I don't buy anything under 6'1.5" for him!
penguinboy25 said on 30/Jan/15
No way is he 6'2. Looks significant shorter than Sacha Baron cohen and Cohen is leaning in to lose height in the pictures. I bet this guy is 6'1.5 best in the morning.
Andrea said on 12/Jan/15
So, Hugh is basically 6'2 in shoes in the picture above... You think Hugh had already lost a cm back in 2006 when he met Brandon Routh? Almost 10 years ago he already looked nothing over 6'1.5 with Brandon...
Andrea said on 11/Jan/15
Rob, how tall do you think Nicole is in the heels she's wearing in the photo above? She looks basically as tall as Hugh! Hugh must be at least 6'3 with shoes (since he IS a big 6'2), so she's what? 6'2-6'3?
Editor Rob

I believe she'd measure close to 184cm in those basic heels, but she is at Hugh's hairline at most, so that would be 1.5 inches less. Her own hairstyle looks close to an inch in fact.

And I'm still open to the possibility Hugh has lost a cm in last 10 years through excessive lifting and wear and tear. Similarly with Rock.
Tymmo said on 11/Jan/15

@Rampage: Well for one Jackman, Reynolds and the others are wearing boots and is closer to the camera in a lot of them, one is shot from a lower point as well, Liev is wearing converse type footwear.

Arch, you've seen him with measured 6'7.25 Lebron James? Or with Brandon Routh? Do you honestly think he's 6'2 with them? Come on!
Dejavu said on 5/Nov/14
He looked 2 inches taller than Christian Bale. He had an inch over Michael Caine and Kevin Costner. I think he is a legit 6'2. Lowest you can argue is 6'1.75 but nothing under.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 3/Nov/14
Dejauvu, in The Prestige, yeah?

Jackman also cleared Bale by 2in.
Dejavu said on 3/Nov/14
He is 6'2. He had a clear inch on 6'1 Michael Caine.
Arch Stanton said on 2/Nov/14
Prince William Andrea is close to a proper 6'3" and he was barely taller than Kidman in heels too!

Arch, you got an idea of how tall a real 189 guy is? Brandon Routh is the perfect example of a big 189 guy and, btw, he looks at least an inch taller than Hugh... Have you seen him with a Lebron James? He does look under Lebron's nose, he doesn't even look 6'1 with him... Or if you are lazy, just look at the pic above: Nicole Kidman is no more than 6'1 in those small heels and Hugh looks barely taller, like around 6'2 in shoes! 6'2 is quite generous, IMO!
[Editor Rob: it is true that a weak 6ft 2 for Hugh might be a better shout, probably in the same range as Fox, they have held a 6ft 2 flat since the beginning of time here though!

but speaking of 189cm, I saw today again the 6ft 2.25 height challenger and he was standing in same footwear with me/jenny and he did seem a good example of reminding me a strong 6ft 2 from my eyes...]

He had an easy inch on Ross, but in thinking about it at the time I was basing it on Ross being 6'1.5 but he's now at 185 and some even claim he's 184. I still can't see him under 6'2" with Ross and he edges out Michael Caine, but I agree he can look 6'1" range a lot.
Arch Stanton said on 2/Nov/14
He edged out Michael Caine I thought.
Arch Stanton said on 2/Nov/14
Looks a proper 6'2" in The Prestige. Man, the way Scarlett Johansson looks at him in that film, that would be every man's dream!!

Practically nothing there between them
1.79 cm guy said on 27/Oct/14
One of the few guys who doesnt lie about his height. he always looks close to 6'3'' even in regular shoes. so he really is 6'2'' and he looks it. just look at how long his legs or upper body.
Silent_D said on 27/Oct/14
Solid 6 foot 2 guy.
mike said on 22/Oct/14
You really need to downgrade him to at least 6ft 1.75 Rob.
Judd said on 17/Oct/14
6'1.5" is spot on next to Ben Affleck (6'2")
Andrea said on 17/Oct/14
Take away the fact that footwear and ground are unknown, but saying he looks 6'1 or even 6'1.5, well this is not being objective! That'h how you look with 6'3 guys on here (and maybe more)...
Andrea said on 16/Oct/14
There's more difference between Hugh and Lebron than between you and Zach Levi (and that's supposed to be a 7 inch difference)...

Plus Lebron is leaning a bit, if you trace a line you can see he's well Lebron's nose. If that's only 6 inches difference, how much you think Lebron measures from the top of the head to the nose? 5-5.5 inches range?
cole said on 16/Oct/14
He looked the same height as 6'1.25 Adrian Peterson. He could be 6'1.5, but even 6'1.75 seems generous.
Just please take him down from 6'2, he's been listed that for far too long...
Andrea said on 14/Oct/14
I asked to be honest... He's much nearer the camera and still looks under his nose... I don't know how he can possibly look even 6'1.5 with him! It looks like he'd "be" 6', if he didn't have all that camera advantage! Of course i'm not saying he's that low but if he doesn't even look 6'1 with him! Lebron dwarfs him!!!
Editor Rob
the difference I'd say was around 6 inches, but we have 2 big unknowns to really say anything with certainty - footwear and what type of ground they are on.
Andrea said on 13/Oct/14
Rob, how tall does he look with Lebron James? Be honest...
Editor Rob
I'd guess him in the 6ft 1-1.5 range with big lebron, although I don't know if they have similar footwear.
Jake: 1.84 m- 1.85 m said on 12/Oct/14
6ft 1.75in is spot on.
Andrea said on 11/Oct/14
Nothing, another guy who wont change just because he says 6'2...
Andrea said on 11/Oct/14
Rob, not a chance he's as tall as Lance Reddick, this guy is probably not over 6'1.5... Even 6'1.75 is still generous...
Andrea said on 10/Oct/14
Come on, Rob. Downgrade him to 6'1.5, he's not 6'2 and you know...
Editor Rob
6ft 1.75 is probably the best shout for him.
184.3cm said on 5/Oct/14
Probably is rounding up a small fraction. I always saw him as a 187cm guy.
mike said on 5/Oct/14
6ft 2 is not a terrible listening but i don't agree he's over it maybe in the morning though.
187 night
189 morning
Andrea said on 4/Oct/14
Well, Rob, would you bet on him being taller than the plumber guy? I wouldn't at all and i probably would bet on the plumber, to be fair... And remember he's 186.6!
Editor Rob
he might be similar
jtm said on 3/Oct/14
i don't understand how charles barkely at 6'6 and jackman at 6'1 range is possible. barkely has a posture and footwear advantage and he still doesn't look over 4 inches taller than jackman.

Jackman did look 189 actually with Jonathan Ross. But I agree that often he looks a bit under 6'2" like he does with Russell Crowe.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 3/Oct/14
Well Jackman would at least be 189cm range in the morning. So the 6ft2-6ft3 claim has some validity.
