6ft was always a little suspect
fj said on 29/Mar/15
5'11. A legit 5'11 man. In films he always looks average to tall. He can easily get away with saying 6 feet though.
Bishop said on 26/Mar/15
He's not as short as 5'10", but I wouldn't blame people if they thought that.
chris said on 26/Mar/15
i'm convinced he's 178cm
MaskDeMasque said on 15/Mar/15
Looked shorter than 5'11 Paxton in Nightcrawler. I think he's a strong 5'10. 5'10.5 is about right for him.
shivaya said on 4/Mar/15
looks like 5'11 (1,80cm)
Y said on 27/Feb/15
Exactly 5'11. Reported as 6 feet. Though years ago some British paper reported him as 6'2 for some reason. I don't believe he wears lifts though.
goayee said on 22/Feb/15
Only 2 inches taller than 5-8 listed Nina in night crawler they were facing each other very closely, if they are wearing regular shoes, he's 5-10
TPaul said on 21/Feb/15
Just saw him on Broadway. He is no taller than 5' 11" and does slouch a bit. He's quite thickly built - muscular thighs.
cole said on 10/Feb/15
@Arch Stanton: Yeah but just a little, and to be fair to him he wasn't standing tall half the time: Click Here
sigmon said on 10/Feb/15
He isn't 6'2. He's 5'11
Arch Stanton said on 9/Feb/15
In Nightcrawler Rene Russo looked taller than him in heels!!

Judd, you can't look at that picture and also notice that not only is Jake losing height with his own stance (more height than Hayden is losing with his), but also that Jake has a very clear footwear disadvantage. Anyway, I generally agree that he's 5'11"(ish) at the very most.

I remember a picture I've seen time ago which showed Christensen (barefeet) and Gyllenhall with shoes on. They were at the same level! My conclusion?
Jake at 5'11.25" and Hayden solidly at 6'0".
outsiders said on 27/Jan/15
So at least 5'11 right
Dmeyer said on 27/Jan/15
In person wasnt smaller than me
HI said on 26/Jan/15
Looks like Biggs is leaning. Jake is 5'11. He can not be 5'10.

The guy is no shorter than 5'11. In his early films he looked 5'11-6 feet. I can't imagine a 17 year old Jake would have wore lifts for October Sky or Donnie Darko or Bubble Boy when he was an unknown actor. The guy is 5'11.
Paco said on 22/Jan/15
ROB, If Denzel Washington is a proper 6 footer, Jake Gyllenhaal cannot be 5ft 11.25 by any means. Either that or there is something wrong with this picture:
Click Here
Paco said on 22/Jan/15
@Editor Rob: Have you seen the Canadian film "Enemy" (Denis Villeneuve, 2013)? During the entire movie, Jake looks like an average 5ft 10 guy, even being dwarfed by several other male actors in some shots. I was shocked! Being quite generous, he barely looked 5ft 11... maybe straight out of bed and in a very good day!
Time for a downgrade, I guess... :)
Editor Rob
never seen the film yet, last ones I seen with Jake were Prisoners (decent) and End of Watch (struggled through that one), but I think he held up better with Hugh jackman, in that film, he didn't seem anywhere as short as 5ft 10!
LOL DUH said on 15/Jan/15
he can't be 5'10. makes no sense. He gives the impression of being average if not slightly above average.

5'11
realbillpaxton said on 11/Jan/15
I past Jake in park slope once, I would estimate he is no taller than 5'10" (he was wearing bicycle shoes at the time)
wwww said on 7/Jan/15
5'11 aka 180. But since he's a movie star he claims an inch more
MD said on 6/Jan/15

Judd said on 4/Jan/15
Perfect listing, rob! I think 5'11-11.25" is fine for him.

Look at him with Hayden Christensen Click Here
Also if Hayden has better posture, he's however a bit taller than gyllenhaal; I think if Christensen is 6'0" then gyllenhaal can't be taller than 5'11.25"!
MD said on 28/Dec/14
This quarter-inch needs to come off. He's a flat 180cm at the most.
cole said on 26/Dec/14
@Editor Rob: How's his picture situation coming along?
BOXOFFICEFLOP said on 26/Dec/14
So he's 180cm. He's not shorter. Because he usually appears above average to tall. That's not the height of someone whose like 175 or so.

He may have worn 1 inch lifts but why would a guy whose 5'11 wear 2 inch lifts?
Bishop said on 24/Dec/14
Shorter than Paxton in Nightcrawler. More like a strong 5'11".
BOXOFFICEFLOP said on 22/Dec/14
He's 180cm aka 5'11. It's a good height for a Hollywood actor.

though earlier in his career he was described as 6'2
MD said on 15/Dec/14
Yeah, 182 cm simply isn't possible. He's not over 180 cm.
Judd said on 13/Dec/14
Legit 5'11" guy, like Justin Timberlake...
I don't Know how he could appeared as tall as Heath Ledger (6'1") in a couple of pictures...probably he wore lifts...
Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP said on 13/Dec/14
178cm at best, 176-177cm is probably right on the money.
kevin said on 12/Dec/14
yep defo shorter than paxton in nightcrawler... solid 180cm no more
MD said on 12/Dec/14
Rob,

Honestly, this isn't the best picture, but here is 6'0.75" looking considerably taller than Jake. Look at the shoulders.

Click Here

This looks considerably more than a 1.25" difference. Here he is recently with late-night host Seth Meyers who is 5'11" at the very top of the scale (and more likely 5'10.5"):

Click Here

Click Here

With 5'11" John McEnroe, who must be wearing something in his shoes:

Click Here

With 6'0.25" Denzel Washington:

Click Here

Even with taking out the McEnroe shot, this is one where you're going to have to take a least half-an-inch off.
Editor Rob
5ft 11 has always been a possibility, 11.5 is probably the top of a range he could look.
MOF said on 11/Dec/14
Bill Paxton had at least an inch over Gyllenhaal in Nightcrawler.
Mike said on 3/Dec/14
Strong 5ft 11.

No shorter than 180. No higher than 182.

Rob, these articles describe Gyllenhaal as 6ft2!
xi said on 6/Nov/14
5'11 though early in his career some said he was 6'2. Oh Hollywood adding 1 inch is okay maybe 2 but nevee 3. Tom Cruise whose "5'10" when really 5'7
AC said on 6/Nov/14
Have you guys watched Nightcrawler yet? In it there are many scenes where he looks shorter or of equal height to 511.5 Bill Paxton, but never taller.
Judd said on 5/Nov/14
5'11-11.25" is spot on...sometimes he looked very close in height to Heath Ledger (6'1") but he maybe had shoes advantage and probably better posture...
cole said on 3/Nov/14
Rob how do you think he stacks up with his father. Do you think he is taller or shorter than him? At times he looks taller and at other times shorter. But, generally he looks shorter. His fathers name is Stephen Gyllenhaal, so what do you think? Thoughts Rob?
Editor Rob
had a look and there's as much either can look a bit taller than the other, so they might be quite close in fact.
Realist said on 3/Nov/14
A flat 5'11. Stocky guy. Typical average western physique. Not thick skinned though. Even some guys here in the Subcontinent have thin skin. I am stocky but not quite thick skinned. He looks an inch less than 6'0 Gosling.
ORGAM said on 30/Sep/14
Easily 180cm. A decent height in Hollywood
cole said on 28/Sep/14
@Editor Rob: Mind adding Prisoners, Jarhead and End of Watch? And would you at least take him down to 5'11.25?
Dmeyer said on 21/Sep/14
Rob he can look 5'11 in pics but in person didnt look smaller than me
Kourosh177cm said on 19/Sep/14
179 to 181 cm is what he looks in most pictures.
Sam said on 15/Sep/14
There must be a warping angle going on here but even considering that, it's hard to see above 5'11" for Gyllenhaal next to Denzel Washington.

Balrog said on 12/Sep/14
Jake can look 5'10" range a lot. Yes his posture isn't the best but he doesn't strike me as a guy over 5'11"
cole said on 12/Sep/14
@Editor Rob: Yeah, I've thought so too. He doesn't look to stand his tallest very often, so he could measure 180.5 cm or so, but is often standing in such a way that he looks a bit under it. I guess 5ft 11.25 would be an ok listing, but I think 5ft 11 is also very likely, 5ft 11.5 has always seemed generous.
cole said on 11/Sep/14
@Editor Rob: Yup. Downgrade time?
Editor Rob
181 is a possibility, I just wonder if at times he stands like a weak 5ft 11 man.
JohnGB said on 10/Aug/14
I really think he is more 180cm, looks shorter than gosling, bear grylls. hugh jackman has 2.5 inches on him. I think 180cm suits him perfectly, I am highly convinced of this.
cole said on 5/Jul/14
He can look between 5'11 and 5'11.5 like Rob says. But he's definitely not the 6ft he claims. I've seen some shots where he looks about 4 inches taller than 5'7.5 Mark Ruffalo, but it looked like his footwear gave more height than Ruffalo's in those. I'm going with 5'11 - which is what he looks most often.
gian92 said on 17/Jun/14
he is only 1 cm less than gosling :

Frank said on 19/May/14
This guy is a solid 70 inches. Maybe 71, out of bed. But 71.5 at midday seems high.

The dude looks about 2 inches shorter than Ryan Gosling who is just over 6 ft. Gosling is a notorious sloucher; he only straightens up when he knows he's being photographed. In this image with Michelle Williams, both guys are standing staight; both in dress shoes. No way there's only an inch between them.

Click Here

Most of the heights on this website seem very plausible. Many people try to add a centimeter here or there, which I think is ridiculous. There are simply too many variables: sleeping habits, footwear, camera angles, slouching, etc. However, I think there is enough evidence in this case for a downgrade. Gyllenhaal is simply not 6'0 in the morning.
cole said on 14/May/14
With Jackman who's more of a 186-187 cm guy than a legit 188, Jake can look 180-181, which he mostly does with others as well. A very strong 179, somewhere in 180 cm range or near 181 is all possible. Around a 2.5in difference between Jake and Hugh is fair to say. 5'11 for Jake and 6'1.5 for Jackman.
Kourosh177cm said on 11/May/14
chrissss dont be naive
Jake is not standing straight in the pic. If he could straighten up and stands at his tallest, it could be max 3 inch difference between him and hugh jackman. I'm thinking he is lower range of 5'11 rather upper like 5'11.25 or 5'11 flat.
cole said on 28/Apr/14
@Editor Rob: I see! There's quite a few people on here that could do with a picture. Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt, Ryan Gosling, Christian Bale and George Clooney spring to mind!

TO said on 11/Apr/14
Looked 5'11 in the film "Enemy". Either 5'11 or a weak 6 feet. Decent height for an actor either way
cole said on 7/Apr/14
Jake and Jude Law: Click Here

Obviously neither of them are standing straight. Would Jude have an advantage in footwear in this shot, Rob? I don't think it would be a big one.
Editor Rob
they look standard inch range boots, jake's nike style might be a little less than that.
Countless Debates With No Point said on 17/Mar/14
5'11 at the lowest 6 feet at the highest so 5'11.5 is his height.
cole said on 6/Mar/14
Haven't seen 'Prisoners' yet, but I'll for sure do it soon. I thought he could pull off looking 180-181 cm zone next to Jackman if he's 187-188, in some event shots. Near 5'11.5 is an arguable measurement, 181.3-181.6 cm range is not impossible, but I wouldn't go any higher - he's not a solid 182,0 cm + guy imo.

You could argue near 179 cm range is something he can look at times when not standing straight, with his best posture though I think he can look a solid 180-180.5 cm. All in all 180-181 cm range covers it for Jake as far as I'm concerned. This 5'11.5 listing feels a little on the generous side, but at the same time perfectly arguable. 5'11.25 is something I could agree with, whilst personally, 5'11 is my best bet for him, as I tend to go with the lowest I can see for an actor, whilst Rob I think goes with the highest he can see in most cases.

Hope I'm not wrong here Rob, but I think you've said before that 5'11.5 is the highest you'd go with Jake, and 5'11 the lowest. Same thing with guys like DiCaprio and Timberlake for example.
Balrog said on 15/Jan/14
Saw some old pics of him next to Josh Hartnett, not great quality, but Jake looked one more time under 5'11'' if Hartnett is 189cm.
cole said on 15/Jan/14
@FA: He could look 5'11 with Ledger as well: Click Here
cole said on 20/Nov/13
He doesn't look over 5'11 with 5'7 Michael Peña, more likely a tad under. But he has bad posture in most of the pics with him, so I'll give him 5'11.
Hypado said on 17/Nov/13
180/181cm

A strong 5f11 guy
dmeyer said on 14/Nov/13
In Person looked close to 6 ft and in a photo He looked 5 in over 5'6.5-6.75 friend so 5'11.5 seems right we were eye to eye but looking at pics 5'11 flat looks Closer pena Can mâle him look 5'10 in première pics

by looking at the pics i agree he seems like a 180-181cm guy

They are on the other side of the room, but look at him across from a 6'2" Hugh Jackman, and 6'0" Terrence Howard:

This is a 5'11"ish guy, and nothing more, and that's even accounting for Howard's footwear advantage, here. And, then with Jimmy Kimmel, who looks ever-so-slightly taller:

Stiffelio said on 3/Nov/13
He looked at least two inches shorter than 6'1" Heath Ledger in Brokeback Mountain. So 5'11" should be max height for Gyllenhaal.
Dejavu said on 2/Nov/13
I think he is 5'11-6'0. He does look it next to Hugh Jackman.
Martin said on 29/Oct/13
Doesn't strike me as an 5'11.5 guy but he has a huge head.

Seen him in Chelsea several times, had me by at least 1.5 inches so 5'11.5 minimum. Folks are way off on this guy.
MD said on 11/Oct/13
Killer, your whole list is off because Kimmel is not that short. He simply isn't.
klem said on 7/Oct/13
I don't see over 5-11 on photos but photos are not a 100% proof.

I am 5-11.5 and on some pictures from the same shooting I stand straight and look taller than my 5-11 friend and same as other 6-1 friend and on the other photo I look shorter than 5-11 friend, with only a bit of slouching.
cole said on 2/Oct/13
@183cm: I don't think you can use this to compare them: Click Here

But I don't think this will do much good either: Click Here

Still think the 5'11 flat is reasonable for Gyllenhaal. He might be 5'11.25 but nothing over that.
Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP said on 2/Oct/13
I've said it before and I'll say it again: 176-177cm is the best bet for Gyllenhaal. Just compare Gyllenhaal to 5'10.75" Ryan Gosling and 5'10.25" Jimmy Kimmel:
Click Here
Click Here

Ryan Gosling is upper 5'10" range, he looked it next to Carell, Cranston, Brooks, Reynolds and others. I never understood how people could guess him at over 6', let alone the 6'1" he was listed at for years. He's 5'10.75", maybe a flat 5'11" on a good day. Gosling is at least 1.25" (3cm) taller than Gyllenhaal in the above picture.

Now, Jimmy Kimmel was shorter than Dean Cain, Vin Diesel and Matthew Fox, this is why Kimmel is 5'10" range in my opinion. I would peg Kimmel at 5'10.25" to be precise, a solid 178cm at night. I would say Kimmel is 0.75" (2cm) taller than Gyllenhaal in the above video.

Note that Gosling was a fraction taller than Kimmel when he was on his show:
Click Here
This is consistent with my 5'10.75" estimate for Gosling and my 5'10.25" estimate for Kimmel. Kimmel, like Gosling, was indeed visibly taller than Gyllenhaal, although the delta between Gyllenhaal and Kimmel was less than that between Gyllenhaal and Gosling.
Let's not forget Gyllenhaal also looked 5'9" range next to Jamie Foxx.

Kimmel 5'10.25" (178-179cm)
Gosling 5'10.75" (179-180cm)
Gyllenhaal 5'9.5" (176-177cm)

(S)aint said on 30/Sep/13
I have a friend who is 5'11 5/8" in the morning. He has horrendous posture and always looks 5'10". My friend has shorter limbs too. Jake also has horrible posture and a shorter looking build and Its very deceiving. I think he is a weak 5'11" as he looks more 5'9" then 5'10" at times.
Dejavu said on 27/Sep/13
Lowest he could be is a strong 5'11.
cole said on 23/Sep/13
@Dmeyer: Could you tell me about when you met him?

I think the thing when meeting celebs is that you have to factor in their footwear (which I am sure you did), but you also have to factor in if they were on the move or stood still, and if they did, how far away from you they were. Did you happen to walk besides him? Did you talk to him face to face? Was it on a sloping pavement? Did he wear boots? Etc.
Dejavu said on 20/Sep/13
At least 5'11.
Dmeyer said on 18/Sep/13
I met him i dont think he could be under 5'11.25 he fooled me for 5'11.75
cole said on 17/Sep/13
He looks 5'11 more often than 5'11.5 range imo. Next to 6' - 6'1 Toby Kebbell he looked at least 4 or 5 cm shorter, he looks the same height as Matthew McConaughey and Peter Sarsgaard, both 180 range guys. In some shots with Heath Ledger, who was a pretty legit 184-185 range guy, he also looked about 5 cm shorter. I have a hard time seeing him over 180 unless he's a horrible sloucher, which he doesn't seem when posing for most shots. He also seemed the same height as Hank Azaria who's now been downgraded to 5'11. I think he's 5'11 when stood straight and appears 5'10 range or less at times when he's slouching.

With 180ish McConaughey: Click Here
With 184-185 Ledger: Click Here
With 180ish Azaria: Click Here

He should get a slight downgrade I think, Rob.
Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP said on 25/Aug/13
This guy is not a millimeter over 178cm, I wouldn't rule out 176-177cm. I think Rob's estimates generally are relatively close to the truth but he's way off on this one.
cole said on 21/Aug/13
@Editor Rob: Ok. 5'11 flat seems like a better shout than 5'11.5 imo. He rarely looks over 180 cm to be honest. He's the same height as Matthew McConaughey, or at least it looks that way in the pictures I posted of them with 5'9 Lance Armstrong over on Matthew's page. They look equal in height, both 5 cm or so taller than Lance. So if Matthew is 5'11, Hank Azaria is 5'11, Jake should be 5'11 as well imo.
Balrog said on 21/Aug/13
Yeah Dmeyer seems to be an honest guy, but it's hard to believe Gyllenhaal is over 5'11". Maybe he's a horrible sloucher and drops 1-2in in all his pics...
cole said on 20/Aug/13
Rob what is the lowest you see him?
Editor Rob
you could argue 5ft 11 flat for him
Lo sgozzatore said on 19/Aug/13
Balrog, i see your point... But Dmeyer met him and said he's really near 5'11.5 (and dmeyer usually is very precise).
cole said on 18/Aug/13
If Hank Azaria is listed 5'11, Jake should at the very most be listed 5'11.

He looks nothin more than 5 cm taller than 5'9 Lance Armstrong. 5'11 at most.
Val said on 12/Jun/13
no Len, he does not look 5.9-5'10 in any of his movies from at least Donnie Darko onwards,if any. He looked at least 5'11,close to 6ft in all his films,and next to many actors taller thank him never wears lifts,has appeared considerably shorter than many legit 6'1 guys for ex,and never taller than any legit 6ft guys,yet almost same. Same as Jeff Bridges(no more than flat 6ft these days,probably 5'11.5 actually),which explains why they looked same height basically at Spike awards in june 2013. Pena is around 172cm,Gyllenhaal around 182cm. I myself am very similar body type/complexion as Jake,and 182.5 in the morning, 181 most of the day however.So I know how I look next to other measured guys from 170cm to 190cm, Jake fits the bill of a legit 182cm, but not more,I agree.
Len said on 4/Jun/13
He looks 5'9" to 5'10" in most films. Which isn't short, actually, just average height.

5'11.5" is a real stretch though, Rob. Jake seems to be doing the traditional Hollywood "claim 2 inches taller than you really are" thing.

I'd downgrade 'im.
Balrog said on 22/May/13
I could buy 5'11''. But not more.
SAK said on 30/Apr/13
Next to Michael Pena he does not look 12cm taller. The difference looks around 10cm.

Jake: 181cm
Pena: 171cm
Arch Stanton said on 28/Apr/13
Anything under 5'11" is a joke. Jake looks an inch taller than Hank Azaria in the film I'm watching at the moment, I could buy 6 ft.
Arch Stanton said on 28/Apr/13
5'11" range is fine.
gsbr said on 27/Apr/13
Gyllenhaal has terrible posture in every photo I've seen him in, which can give the impression of him being shorter than he really is. I wondered if he was under this listing when I saw him with Michael Peña because I thought Peña was 5'5" or 5'6" (probably due to him resembling a guy I know in real life who's in the same height range). Then I found out Peña is really 5'7". So 5'11.5" appears accurate.

The pictures with Jamie Foxx crack me up because two them are at an angle (which can skew perception of someone's height) and the other one is a street shot- it's likely Gyllenhaal is at the low end of the street.

Click Here

Even with Foxx tilting his head upwards, Gyllenhaal is clearly taller.

wow sometimes he looks 5'9.5 I guess standing fully straight he´s no more than 5'11 anything over that is a joke and Taylor Swift is no more than 5'8.

He looks roughly 5'11, 179-181 cm range, with Michael Peña, as he does with 5'9 Mike White.

He looked pretty much same height than James Franco. I really think he deserves a downgrade.
Hew said on 10/Jan/13
Needs a downgrade. 5'10.5 at best.
Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP said on 6/Jan/13
I heard he's dating Katie Holmes now. Good for him. But he is 178cm MAX.
Balrog said on 5/Jan/13
Actually Gosling has more than just an inch over Gyllenhaal.
Razy said on 1/Jan/13
@SAK yes, around 4 inches, but jake has at least 1 inch from the footwear so its ~178 tops for jake.
Sam said on 31/Dec/12
He's clearly a bit shorter than Ryan Gosling (maybe around an inch). Maybe a 5'11" listing is in order:

Hew said on 30/Dec/12
Getting more and more sure abuot 5'10 even if he's a bit of a notorious sloucher, 5'11.5 is a streach.
Balrog said on 28/Dec/12
Well I've seen all the pics posted here and he can go from looking barely 5'9'' to 5'11'', hard to pin down this guy. But I agree that he deserves a downgrade, he doesn't look over 5'11'' in none of the pics, in fact even 5'10.5'' is pushing it.
Trey said on 27/Dec/12
Since I rarely see him in anything but boots I can't trust the 6ft claims, he barely looks it, even in boots. Yeah he could be just shy of 5'11 as he's a sloucher and probably loses out on a couple of centimeters when posing with fellow celebs. When in regular footwear and slouching he really only looks 5'9-range.
Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP said on 26/Dec/12
Trey I totally agree with you, this guy is 5'10" range at best. There's loads of evidence and I do not understand why he's still listed at 182cm.
Trey said on 25/Dec/12
I'm 100% sure he's 5'10.5 at most. Should be downgraded as he NEVER EVER has looked even remotely close to this 5'11.5 listing. The evidence is clear, Rob; for the love of christ you must downgrade him.
Soldier said on 17/Dec/12
In my opinion he has about 178 - 180, because J.F it 175 cm tall. But they

Mike S. said on 14/Dec/12
When I see full body head-to-toe shots of Gyllenhaal, he really does look like a little guy. In the recent End of Watch, at the dance hall scene there was ample footage of him from head to toe, even wearing full-heeled dress shoes, but his build really looks more like a 5'8" guy, generous maybe 5'9", but simply a smaller guy.

Look at the picture just below, of him with Taylor Swift. His legs just don't look long enough like someone 5'10"+.
Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP said on 13/Dec/12
If I could change one listing on this site, it would be this one. This guy is nowhere near 182cm, he's 178cm at best and I'm being generous.
jj said on 11/Dec/12
next to a tiny anna kendrick (who's around 5'0~5'1) in heels, he didn't seem that much taller than her.. so i think he needs to be downgraded..
Hew said on 11/Dec/12
Might hit 5'11.5 in footwear but doubt he's that tall barefoot, closer to 5'10.
Chameleon said on 8/Dec/12

Exactly Hmm, some people consider me a downgrader but I just try to give realistic estimates based on evidence!
Hmm said on 23/Nov/12
I've looked through all the 'evidence' on this page and I've got to say... it adds up. 177 is a very, very good bet.

I had my doubts about you Mr. Killer Shrimp but I think you're as close on this one as you are on Pitt-Cloon-Damon.

He doesnt look taller than 2-3 inches than 5'7 Anne(both in flats). He has bad posture though.
matt678 said on 8/Aug/12
jake gyllenhal is probably 6 foot flat
BigT said on 5/Aug/12
I can see him at something between 176 (not likely) and 178 (likely) cm. He wears chunky footwear most of the time, and looks shorter than legit 5'11 Sarsgaard, even when Sarsgaard has flat footwear. Gosling was tiptoeing when he towered over Jake in those pics, he's no more than 180-182 cm range barefoot. Any way you look at it, Jake is clearly not as tall as this site list him, how he's still kept at 182 cm is beyond me... Rob could you shed some light on the situation? You clearly disagree with the people who think he's 5'10, I'm sure you have your reasons.
BigT said on 25/Jul/12
Just look at him with Bear Grylls and other legit 6-footers, sub 180 for sure.
bodwaya said on 14/Jun/12
he looked same height as 6 foot dennis qauid. so 6 foot seems right(unless he has high shoes.Click Here
Chris said on 7/Feb/12
It's true that Mr Killer Shrimp downgrade everyone by at least 1.5''. But in this case I agree with him. Gyllenhaal looks 5'10 range with Downey Jr, Sarsgaard, Foxx, Ruffalo, Gosling (to me he's 6' tops, he's listed weak 6'1 but he's not even three inches taller than Steve Carrell) and Anne Hathaway. 5'11.5 only in dress shoes.
Ras_ said on 7/Feb/12
JohnnyRB,IMO the problem with Mr.KS is that he does have the tendency while giving a fairly good and reasonable estimate,to go way off the chart with his next post,and even worse with the next after.Jake isn't even as close as some of his absurd guesses.That's why I assumed he has height issues and I'm sticking to it,as that's not the way a 6ft+(with no height issues) guy as he "claims to be" would talk and literally downgrade everyone on this site with several inches.But hey everyone has the right of having his own opinion,so let him talk whatever he wants.
------------------------------------------
I personally think he is close to an inch shorter than his listed height.
JohnnyRB said on 6/Feb/12
Hey Ras_, chill out, we are saying that an almost 6ft guy could never look that short. And about the posts on this site, i think this is the ideea of it ... people from all over the world, film fans obviously, sharing diffrent opinions about their favorite movie star or celebrity. Oh yeah, about the complex, I am 6ft myself and i have no reason to have a complex about my height, and i dont think that Mr. KS has a height complex, i just like to discuss about the Hollywood stars who want to appear more or much more taller than they truly are. Its funny, you know, to see a full grown-up wearing 5 inches lifts or to see someone like Colin Farrell tiptoe just to look taller.
Ras_ said on 1/Feb/12
@MR-KILLER-SHRIMP
Saying stuff like /quote You think jtm has a height complex too because he agrees with those estimates? Ridiculous. You sir, are an absolute joke. /
Is a childish and immature way of proving your point,as I've never said a single thing about jtm,nor is that the way of having a reasonable discussion.
If I've assumed wrongfully about your "complex" I apologize.I based my assumption entirely on your estimates in the site.If you want to know I do research before I post,dunno why you even mentioned Brad Pitt,I've seen the picture even before it was posted on the site and have read the entire page.I don't agree with you that he is 5'9.25 and you do use that MAX quite often even if you change your height guess almost in every single post you make.
Also do excuse my language but I find even more pathetic than most of your guesses,(Like Ross for example,or Ledger,or 168cm.MAX! for Wahlberg,LOL)the way that you were arrogant enough to say how this site needed people like you is what made me think that you are a complexed idi...oh wait...instead of me trying to look like your typical keyboard warrior,I do encourage you if you dislike the listing's on this site so much(OBVIOUSLY),to just make your own site and it'll all be fine... just my 0.02$

-------------------------------------------
Even if I have my doubts,agreeable listing Rob.
Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP said on 1/Feb/12
@Ras_

Dude, read the comments below, jtm agreed with the list of estimates I gave you, so that's at least one person who agrees with me. You think jtm has a height complex too because he agrees with those estimates? Ridiculous. You sir, are an absolute joke.

Do research before you post. Go to Brad Pitt's page, there are barefoot pictures posted by delphonic on 1/Jan/12 of Pitt and Paltrow where Pitt is virtually the same height as Paltrow. Those pictures are the proof Pitt is 176 MAX barefoot, i.e. without his lifts. George Clooney is around the same height as Pitt, and Damon is slightly shorter than both Pitt and Clooney, hence my 176 and 174 estimates for Clooney and Damon. As for Jonathan Ross, go to his page, he looked below 6'0" next to Gary Lineker who claims 5'9" for himself. I think YOU are the one who needs to think for a second, rather than blindly believing all of the listings on here.

This site needs more people like Viper, Legend, Chameleon, Physics Enemy, jtm, JohnnyRB, johno, Dural, delphonic and myself only to name a few. People who aren't fooled by unreliable celeb height listings on other sites or by celebs' lifts. People who purely look at facts and evidence. If you call that 'downgrading', so be it. I call it being realist and being rational.

And by the way dude, I don't have a height complex at all. Heck, I have no reason at all to have a complex about it, aerosol can method measures me at 184.7 at my highest and 183.2 at my lowest. I was also measured at 183.5cm by a doctor so I know my measurements are accurate. I dont care if you think I lie about this or have a height complex. In fact I think it's YOU who has issues/complexes because of the rude way you responded, which was TOTALLY uncalled for.
Ras_ said on 31/Jan/12
From what I'm seeing Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP your one heck of a downgrader...and I'm certain you've got a height complex.You will probably lie if I ask how tall are you,and don't worry I don't even care.Why am I saying this and being a bit rude? Maybe,lets think for a second...maybe its because every single person on this site you lower his listed height by atleast 1.5 inches.The fact that you said Jake was 175cm...Jonathan Ross 180cm?ARE YOU SERIOUS? The list you gave me also was a load of *beep* I'm aware of the fact that you and I are guessing but unlike you I'm actually trying to guess their REAL height and actually THINK for a second,rather than making everyone shorter just because It will make me feel better,assuming thats what you're doing.
Rob obviously isn't 100% accurate with most of his listing's but he sure as hell is closer with his estimates than you'll ever be...
Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP said on 28/Jan/12
Indeed Chris, this guy is 178 range at best. Clearly sub 180.
Chris said on 26/Jan/12
5'10.5 would be the MAX I could buy for Jake, he looks 5'9.5 - 5'10 range next to Jammie Foxx, Downey Jr and Ruffalo.

Needs a downgrade.
SIlent d said on 24/Jan/12
No way jonathon ross is 180cm. I heard he's taller than gordon ramsey and will smith. Slightly shorter than hugh jackman. Same height as elle macpherson in heels. 180cm is out of the question. 187cm for jonathon ross. 179 for jake.
jake, 1.82 m- 1.83 m- 1.84 m said on 24/Jan/12
Yes this listing is better, 183 cm out of bed and near 181 cm at night.
Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP said on 24/Jan/12
This 182cm listing is total insanity, this guy is clearly below 180, the question is by how much. I think 176-177cm could be right on the money.
Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP said on 23/Jan/12
@jtm
Cool to hear you more or less agree with those estimates bro :-) . Wahlberg I think is 5'6.25" MAX. As for Stallone, somewhere around 5'7" MAX is where my money would be.
JohnnyRB said on 23/Jan/12
@jtm: wahlberg is 5ft7
jtm said on 22/Jan/12
mr-killer shirimp: i think those estimates are very accurate or i could add the .25 for depp,pitt,clooney and take off the half inch for damon. btw how tall do you think mark wahlberg and stallone are.?
Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP said on 21/Jan/12
@Ras_
In my opinion:
Brad Pitt: 176cm (5'9.25") MAX
George Clooney: 176cm (5'9.25") MAX
Matt Damon: 174cm (5'8.5") MAX
Johnny Depp: 172cm (5'7.75") MAX
Klem said on 20/Jan/12
I mostly agree with Ras_'s estimates about those guys.
As for Jake I think he is between strong 5-10 and 5-11. Strong 5-11 out of bed, strong 5-10 before bed. He might have got measured in the morning/early forenoon at 5-11 and rounded up or got measured in shoes at 6-0 in the morning.
Gosling 182-183 max,
Ledger I would say 184 cm.
Attila_194cm. said on 19/Jan/12
No more than 5'11(180),maybe 5'10.5 flat,6 ft is a joke.
Ras_ said on 19/Jan/12
@Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP I don't know dude,I think your downgrading them a bit.I really can't agree with Heath Ledger being 5'11+ / the lowest i'd give him is 6'. I do think he was a legit 6ft.75/6'1

IMO,Ryan Gosling - weak 6' / Jake Gyllenhaal 5'10.75/5'11 / Taylor Swift 5'8.75
Also do add your's +for Depp/Pitt/Damon and Clooney please.
Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP said on 18/Jan/12
@Ras_ I agree with many of your posts, but I think you should consider the possibility that Heath Ledger was way below 6'1". Even James, one of the biggest upgraders on this site, thinks he was 6'0" flat. In my opinion Ledger was probably 5'11" range.

I just don't see 180cm for Gyllenhaal, he didn't look 180cm next to Sarsgaard, Foxx, Chris Rock, Downey Jr. and others. The MAX I can give Jake is 178-179cm, and I think that's generous, heck he might even be only 176cm.
Klem said on 18/Jan/12
5-11 flat max would be closer for a start. he looks 1.5-2 inches under Gosling constantly, about same as James Franco who is 5-10, barely looks 2 inch taller than his 5-9 sister, both in flat shoes. He could also be strong 5-10 judging from all sources.
Ras_ said on 17/Jan/12
He seems to be misquoted "I'm happily lying that I'm 6 feet tall." @Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP,I'm always "+/-" agreeing with you and Chameleon,however I do think your going a bit off with this.Gosling while clearly not being 6'1 I don't see being below 182cm. and higher than 183.5cm.I'm sure that was your guess some time ago.Jake however isn't above 181.5cm,and shouldn't be below 179cm.I'd say he is 181cm.pretty much as listed here.If you still don't agree with my estimates please check some more pictures with him and Heath(RIP)
As for Gosling 6ft sounds fair enough.
Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP said on 14/Jan/12
@Klem
I could just buy Gyllenhaal at 178cm (5'10") and Gosling at 182cm (5'11.75") like you suggest. But that's really the highest they could possibly be. I still think 176cm for Gyllenhaal and 180cm for Gosling is closer to the truth.

Also I don't think you can take quotes by celebrities about their height seriously. I mean, Justin Timberlake once claimed to be almost 6'2", while he's 179cm at best...
Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP said on 12/Jan/12
Gyllenhaal is definitely under 180cm/5'11" as the pictures of him next to Gosling, Foxx, Sarsgaard, Kingsley, Downey Jr. and others have shown.
Klem said on 11/Jan/12
Actually he could be 5-10. He is same height as James Franco here(he is listed 179 cm here but I think he is admitted 178 as that what his movie data base profile says.): Click Here

He stands a bit further from the camera but they would even out. I think he is 179 max.
What I don't get is his quote: "I'm happily 6 feet tall", he seems so solidly convinced he is 6-0.
Chameleon said on 11/Jan/12
Gosling isnt over 180cm so Jake cant be more than 178 if even that.
Klem said on 11/Jan/12
@Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP
also for that picture where he is 2+ inches under Gosling there are several from the same day where he looks only 1 inch under when they change sides so it suggest flor is uneven there, watch the line on the wall behind. I think they are 3-4 cm apart. 183-182cm Gosling and 179-180 cm Jake. That would make other listing on that page look more legit(Reynolds, Ledger etc).
Klem said on 11/Jan/12
@Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP

I agree 182 cm is too high for him, 180 cm would be closer to the truth for a start.
But if he is as low as you suggest that would change lots of heights.. I mean he is not 10 cm shorter than Ledger, who measured 6-1 as a teen already.
Chameleon said on 10/Jan/12
If Gosling is wearing boots around him, Jake could be 178cm. But hes not 180cm as thats Goslings height.
Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP said on 10/Jan/12
Klem take a look at the picture posted by ChiasmataX on 25/Nov/11, there's more than 1 inch between Gosling and Gyllenhaal, I would even say the difference is at least 2 inches. Even if gosling is 182cm like you suggest, that makes gyllenhaal 177cm range. Thing is though, Gosling is 180 flat at best, putting Gyllenhaal in the 175cm range. No matter how you look at it, Gyllenhaal's 182cm listing is way too high.

Gosling 180cm.
Gyllenhaal 175cm range.
Klem said on 9/Jan/12
@Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP
Well I believe Gosling is 182 cm and Jake 180 cm. I could live with 181 and 179 at minimum. And they are 1 inch apart, but Gosling I think wear boots all the time and appear taller.
maio said on 8/Jan/12
definetly, my guess is: 5 ft 11.25 in/181 cm or 5 ft 11.5 in/182 cm? He's sure in that range...
Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP said on 7/Jan/12
@Klem - Gyllenhaal is nowhere near 180 flat. Heck, Gosling is 180 flat MAX which puts Gyllenhaal in the 175-176 range.
Klem said on 6/Jan/12
He could be 180 cm flat. If he looks lower in some photos that doesn't prove anything, because he doesn't exactly have a good posture.
Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP said on 5/Jan/12
@Silent d
Jonathan Ross is 180cm flat at best, check out the Jonathan Ross page. Click the link there by johno to watch Gary Lineker on Jonathan Ross's show. Lineker himself claims 175cm, that makes Ross 180cm MAX.

Compare Lineker's and Gyllenhaal's height relative to Jonathan Ross's height:
Click Here
Lineker and Gyllenhaal are approximately the same height, 175cm. 180-182cm range claims for Gyllenhaal are ludicrous.

Conclusion: Gyllenhaal = 175-176cm.
Chris said on 4/Jan/12
@Silent D

With Taylor Swift he looks a little bit shorter or at same height. Click Here

Hathaway is 5'7.25 (listed here) in 3'' heels would be 5'10.25. Jake is wearing dress shoes, and he's BARELY an inch taller than her. Looks 5'11 IN DRESS SHOES. 5'9.5-5'9.75 for Jake.

@JohnnyRB - Nice pics man. Jake doesn't look much taller than Jamie Foxx and Peter Sarsgaard looks taller than Jake. If Sarsgaard is 180cm, Gyllenhaal is under 180cm for sure - he has footwear advantage over Sarsgaard in 2 of your pictures. Come on Rob surely you can't ignore the evidence anymore, I mean how much more proof do you want? This guy is waaayy overlisted, he's nowhere near 182, this is one of the worst listings on CelebHeights.

182cm for Jake is impossible, there's just way too much photographic evidence that he's shorter. He doesn't look 182 next to Ryan Gosling, doesn't look 182 next to Chris Rock, and doesn't look 182 next to Ben Kingsley. A legit 182 would be almost indistinguishable from a legit 6 foot, but it's clear he's nowhere near that mark.
Silent d said on 15/Dec/11
He never looked 5 foot 9. At least 180cm. Can't explain why he looked so short with ryan gosling. Maybe lifts. 180cm.
Mr. R said on 15/Dec/11
Saw Jake and Kirsten Dunst having lunch a few years ago in Hollywood. I got up when they did, and he walked right past me. Jake is a sloucher, which makes him seem shorter. But when he straitened up, he was this high exactly.
Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP said on 14/Dec/11
@ChiasmataX and @Chameleon
If you compare this picture ( Click Here ) to the picture ChiasmataX posted on 25/Nov/11, it seems that Clooney and Gyllenhaal are similar height, they are both around 4-5cm shorter than Gosling. For me, Clooney is 176 as he is always a fraction shorter than Brad Pitt who I believe to be 177-178 MAX (this can be seen in the pictures of Pitt and Paltrow). So, in my opinion Gyllenhaal is 176, same height as Clooney. The absolute MAX I can buy for Gyllenhaal is 178, this 182 listing is way too high.
Chameleon said on 14/Dec/11
@ChiasmataX: Ryan Gosling is actually 181cm max, things arent looking good for Jake.
JohnnyRB said on 14/Dec/11
@Mr.KS Cage without boots is nowhere close to 6ft, he never was, neither in his good days. Cage is a legit 5ft11, maybe a 5ft11.5 and a boot lover. Billy Bob is a 5ft9(or less this days) + 2in of boots. If you draw the lines you will see that Jake is somewhere around 5ft10 - 10.5 no more. Take a look at Jake s shoes, he surely whears lifts.
ChiasmataX said on 14/Dec/11
@ Sam he looked under 180cm man, just compare Rob (a legit 5'8) to any 5'7 on this site. That's what a 1 inch difference should look like. Comparing Jake with Ryan Gosling in pictures down in the comments below ( Ryan is listed 185cm here on this site and could be like 183cm barefoot)then you will see that the difference is not 3 cm. more like a full 2-2.5 inches difference between Ryan and Jake. Jake is 178 cm max...when he's in shoes of course.
ChiasmataX said on 13/Dec/11
@ Mr KS, nice picture,look at the curvature on the back of his shoes (elevator?) there. Just look in the below comments, there are plenty of evidence that he's under 180cm barefoot but I doubt Rob will look at this page much to downgrade him.
Sam said on 13/Dec/11
Closer to 180 cm seems likely in that picture with Gosling. 182 may be Gyllenhaal's peak morning height but I don't think he's that mark most of the time. Who knows...
Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP said on 12/Dec/11
182cm listing is too high for Mr. Gyllenhaal, look at these pictures:
Click Here
There's no way he's 10cm taller than 172cm listed Ben Kingsley. If he really were 182cm he should have been virtually the same height as 183cm listed Nicolas Cage, but Cage has around 4cm on Jake. Jake is under 180cm, he should be downgraded.
ChiasmataX said on 11/Dec/11
@ jake, I doubt it man he's in the Brad Pitt categories of dudes that fool people into thinking their are over 180cm. Doesn't even look over 180cm with Ryan Gosling.

"It is not impossible" for him to be in the 176-177cm barefoot range.

Yes it is. He's 182 cm.

He looks a solid 5'11 guy. Weak 6'0.

Oke, this guy is noway near 6 feet as Ryan Gosling is 181cm barefoot MAX. which once again proves Taylor Swift is 5'9 MAX.
ChiasmataX said on 25/Nov/11
Physic is right, here is Jake with Ryan Gosling who is supposedly 185cm.

Is that how a 182cm guy looks with a "questionable" 185cm Ryan? I don't think so. The only explanation is that Jake is probably 178cm and Ryan is a near 6 feet dude... in shoes of course.

Donnie Darko is a legit 6', come on

One of my friends stood next to him. She's around 5'11-6'0 in flats and insists he is no more than 5'9.

He's never seen 5' 10" in the afternoon.
Physics Enemy said on 23/Nov/11
This listing is way out. He's nowhere near 6'. He's 5' 9.5". I watched a film with him in the other night and could tell he was sub 5' 10". He's edged out by Chris Rock for crying out loud. Insane listing, he's just average height. Since when is 6' average height? Jake, Pitt, Di Caprio, Vin Diesel, Clooney etc are all under 5' 10". They are not tall, it's obvious.
JohnnyRB said on 22/Nov/11
Rob, take a look at this picture with Jake Gyllenhaal and Chris Rock. Click Here According to this site Chris is no more than 5ft10 and he seems a little taller. What do you think? Jake needs a downgrade or what?

Gosling is 6 foot 1. I think jake is a solid 182cm in all his movies. At least 5 inches taller than tobey mcguire and much taller than 5foot 2 natalie portman.

Gosling is 5 foot 11.5, Jake is 5 foot 10 - 10.5

182cm looks right on the dot. He can appear 5'11 in photos though.
LAN Jiao said on 24/Oct/11
jake physically looks 5'11 tops. unlike justin timberlake,leo di caprio weak 5'11 frame and dare claim 6'0-6'1. jake is 6'0 in sneakers shoe easily.
Dmeyer said on 11/Oct/11
CAN look 5'11 alot in pics in person hé looked nearer 5'11.75
klem said on 10/Oct/11
He is 5-11 at very least, Ledger wasn't much taller and he was supposedly a solid 6-1.
I think he is same height as me witch is 5-11.5 evening, looks same as me proportionally in photos.
klem said on 8/Oct/11
He looks 0.5" shorter than gosling.
James said on 12/Sep/11
gylenhaal is somwhere between average height and tall.
Thor said on 11/Sep/11
I am 5'10.75", and people tend to pin me at 6'0" or 6'1" because of my "big" footwear. I'm not saying that the same applies to Jake, although it is very likely, I mean, he's an hollywood actor after all. I think he could pass for 5'11" range, but not over that, 5'10.5" - 5'10.75" is my best guess for Mr. Gyllenhaal.
Martin said on 4/Sep/11
Taylor Swift is not a full 5'10, 5'9.5 or 5'9.75 is closer, Jake is virtually 5'11 without slouching.
Larc 6 ft 1.75 in said on 25/Aug/11
5'10? What's this crap? He is for sure at least 5'11.5, could also be 6'0, he looks it.
Xisco said on 20/Aug/11
He is 5´10.
Tom said on 11/Aug/11
Brandon, you can see the heels on his dess shoes, there is a boost there, and no one can know what is inside. Don´t think over 5´11. Maybe closer to 5´10.
Brandon said on 3/Aug/11
as listed. here he is at the premiere of "source code" with co-star michelle monaghan, who is at the very least a solid 5'7". she is wearing 3-4" heels and he's still taller.

Click Here

and these are the shoes she was wearing: Click Here
Editor Rob
that type of heel really is 4 inches, she's probably got around 3 inch footwear advantage on him.

5´11 - 5´11,5 could match: Click Here
Ted said on 31/Jul/11
Not close to 6ft, 5´10" is his barefoot height.
Philip said on 27/Jul/11
5'11.5" - 6" is his height with shoes/boots, he is 5'10" range barefoot I believe.
dan said on 15/Jul/11

Lol at 5'9" or 5'10". He has several inches on 5.7.5" Tom Cruise. 5'11" minimum.
Chameleon said on 11/Jun/11
Cant look 6'0 next to legit 6'1 guys.
James said on 10/Jun/11
Well in his movies he can look 180cm but i will admit in photos can look 6'0.
Chameleon said on 9/Jun/11
Indeed James, 180 max!
James said on 8/Jun/11
179-180cm range for Jake.

Heath Ledger looked 182cm to me
gupsr said on 4/Jun/11
I honestly do not think he is even 5'11 considering Reese Witherspoon is not even 5 ft tall I would say he is 5'9.
dmeyer said on 22/May/11
i saw him only one , but we had same footwear and we were on same level floor , wish wasnt the case of many other stars i met , 5 ft 11.25 to 6 ft i can buy
