Both Bolt and Clark are identical in height at 195cm (6'4.75). Clark would have been a fraction taller than Bolt at his peak though.

Sepeteus, at 00:29 and 00:30 make pause and you'll see clear that they are both the same height. It's all a question of moments and angles... Regards.
James said on 6/Nov/10
Shaun Goldblum could be 192cm at night today though and 193cm in the afternoon.
Shaun said on 5/Nov/10
How he compared to 6'4" Jeff Goldblum has convinced me he's still 6'5"

196-197cm out of bed possibly?
big tom said on 12/Jun/09
yeh i am 6'6.5" and i had a couple of inches on him so i reckon 6'4.5" even taking into account his poor posture
miko said on 12/May/09
So you think Clarkson could be around 6"4.5 now Rob. That makes sense, he's a bad sloucher and nearly 50 years old.
James said on 11/May/09
Yeah I agree Rob I mean Eric Bana himself is a hair over 6'2. When I saw those pics for the first time as well it did strike me how thin Jeremys shoes are in comparison to Banas. Basicly with those thin shoes that would make Jeremy look 6'4 and the dress shoes Eric is wearing would make him look 6'3.25 that plus Jeremys poorish posture in comparion to Banas would make the difference look only 1 inch.

Editor Rob
clarkson could have lost 1/2 inch by his age. He does have a long head aswell.
James said on 10/May/09
Rob have you seen recent pics of Jeremy Clarkson next to 6'2 Eric Bana? Just look on getty images, theres not 2-3inches between them.

Editor Rob
there's not much, although looking at his shoes, they are ultra thin and he's probably got 3/4 inch less than bana.
Matthew E said on 24/Apr/09
i think he stll is 6"5 but he sloches a lot and he has taken quit a few nocks especily on top gear. if he sorted he posture out he would be there again. i am just of 6ft 1 and he has atleast 4 inches on me. (i met him to find this out)
Tony said on 17/Apr/09
Wake up. He interviewed Rugby Legend Lawrence Dallalglio, who is a legit 6'4 inches tall, and he was taller than him.

He's 6'4 minimum. More than likely 6'5 and over
Doug said on 2/Apr/09
Watched Top Gear the other night. Clarkson was definately looking 6'4" ish, I couldn't quite see 6'5", even though he is ridiculously taller than Hammond, he does appear to have lost a little. He is still a massive guy and yes he does have the enormous head of a giant.

James May is a solid 6ft

Click Here with 6'7 Peter Jones and with 6'1-6'2 Jodie Kidd Click Here
Yaspaa said on 4/Mar/09
This one is better Click Here The guy is 6'5,taller than Stephen Fry and taller than Jodie Kidd in heels.

Editor Rob
the guy on right is 6ft 7.
Doug said on 15/Feb/09
OMG I take that back. HE HAS LOST HEIGHT!! Wow that pic with that 6'7" businessman and James May, the height difference looks at least 3 inches between Clarkson and the tall guy. A 6'5" guy would not look THAT much shorter. Clarkson now looks nearer 6'3.5" it has to be said. Peak he was 6'5".
Doug said on 15/Feb/09
Clarkson has the face of a giant it has to be said. He has that long face very long jaw and profile you'd expect from a guy who is over 7 foot. He is not under 6'4" looks 6'5" to me, but he could have lost some height over the years perhaps is 193-194 cm now no less.
George said on 31/Jan/09
I think he was a legit 6'5 at peak, but looks to have shrunk down to 6'3.5 now, James May, who looks a solid 6ft to me, doesn't look that much shorter than him in newer episodes. But in older ones, Jeremy towered him.
Liam said on 18/Jan/09
ive noticed the last couple of years that clarkson does seem shorter than before he may well have been 6'5 when he was younger but id say he was no more than 6'3 now judging by him standing next to various guests he has on top gear!
Lenad said on 17/Jan/09
Alex is on the money.
Alex said on 13/Jan/09
I saw him present HIGNFY in December and was in the front row of the audience as he walked on. He wasn't as tall as I had expected ...I'd say 6ft4in max and maybe even 6ft3.5in.
peteyork said on 29/Dec/08
Just saw Vietnam trip. Clarkson used to be able to see over May's head with easy, look at old top gear episodes. Clarkson eye line is now at least inch or even two below the top of may's head. The guy has lost two inches. Rob is it not worth posting a picture of clarkson with May now and ten years ago. On a height loss page to prove you can loose more than an inch?
miko said on 28/Dec/08
I dont know about the camera angle here, but should 6"7 Peter Jones have that much height on Jeremy?

I'm beginning to think he may be a bit closer to 6"4 than 6"5. Perhaps 194cm.

miko said on 28/Dec/08
Rob, I dont have a clue what is happening here.

Click Here
miko said on 26/Dec/08
He's 6"4.5/6"5 fully erect, and can look 6"3/6"4 with bad posture - which he always has as he's taller than most other people. I could buy 6"4, but not any lower. The camera angle always favours the guest on Top Gear, ask Rob.

Editor Rob
he's had a 6ft 4 rugby player on one show and for certain is no shorter, but then he does have a thicker hairstyle and maybe not great posture.
Mike said on 24/Dec/08

Watch at 4:20. He claims 6'1"/186cm. He certainly wouldn't be any taller because nobody under-exaggerates their height.

I wish so much that I could find the video of Rich Hall on Top Gear but you'd have to take my word that Clarkson was no more than an inch taller than Hall... Clarkson really isn't 6'5".
BigKid said on 22/Dec/08
He is tall...but not 6' 5". He is quite big in general; big face etc. That gives him an overall huge presence and can be easily mistaken for 6' 5". I think he is 6' 3.5" though.
miko said on 22/Dec/08
He is a huge sloucher. When you see him greeting guest on Top Gear he bending down to greet them. Look at the pictures of him next to 6"7 Peter Jones, he looks an easy 6"5 there, standing up straight.

Anything under 6"4 is ridiculous.
GUK said on 21/Dec/08
You have to remember the camera is below the stage and pointed upwards which gives the illusion that the guests are closer in height. BTW Rich Hall is no more than 6ft I stood next to him at a bar
Mike said on 20/Dec/08
I don't believe 196cm...

I'm 186 which is 6 ft 1 and have met Rich Hall the comedian who also claims 6 ft 1 and we pretty much evenly matched... when Hall was on Top Gear, he looked exactly the same height as Clarkson... Now maybe he had slightly thicker shoes or whatever but certainly not 10 cm extra height...

Also watch Click Here
Ross is 6 ft 2 max and looks at least as tall as Clarkson so I highly doubt his claim of 6 ft 4.

Sure he can claim 6 ft 4 on his MySpace but I could claim 6 ft 5 and people would believe me because I'm at school and tower over most people.

I'd say 6 ft 3 but he's known to be arrogant and so on so probably exaggerates in just about every department of his life.
Lenad said on 10/Dec/08
6'5 would make him 6'6 in shoes which is utter bull. I'd be surprised if he even reaches a full 6'4 barefoot.
Lenad said on 10/Dec/08
Jermey looks no more than flat 6'4.
Hugh said on 8/Nov/08
Richard Hammond is tiny. 5ft6-5ft7 tops. I read somewhere that May is 6ft2.5. Perhaps 195cm is closer to the truth for Jeremy.
dave said on 7/Nov/08
james may is a solid 6ft..... i met him quite recently and im 6'1 barefoot, i couldnt give him any lower than 6...... and when may stands really straight (and clarkson too obviously).... theres not a world of difference.
George said on 12/Oct/08
He probably was 6'5 at his peak, but he's nearly 50 so he has probably lost an inch and is now 6'4. His official myspace even says 6'4.
PaleCabbage said on 26/Sep/08
In some of his books he claims (incorrectly) to be the tallest person in british television at 6'5. James may is 5'11 and he is dwarfed by jeremy, so I'll place jeremy at 6'4.5

John said on 22/Sep/08
The guy with the UK size 14 shoes was Peter Jones who is listed as 6ft7, though when you see Clarkson and Jones, you would say that eitherway Jones is 6ft6, or Clarkson is 6ft6...
Halb said on 20/Sep/08
I have only ever heard him say 6'5. I can see just under and rounding up.
Wee Shug said on 11/Sep/08
Last time I watched top gear he said he was six five. Ok there then, in an earlier show he was six four. When I first saw Top gear he said he was six three. I don't really care what height he is but with those cowboy boots he always wears and the fact that he always engineers to be closest to the camera I will give him six three.
Daii said on 16/Aug/08
He is a tall guy, no doubt about it, I heard him on a Top Gear episode say something like "for someone 6 foot 5 inches tall to get into this car..."
He does have bad posture which mahe him appear 6'3-4 but I would say he is every bit 6'5
RJ said on 15/Aug/08
I met him at a service station and would say that 6'4" is about right. On Top Gear recently he compared his shoe size directly (shoe to shoe) with someone with enormous feet (UK size 14.5? -- now, who was that?) and the Clarkson shoe was smaller but nowhere near a size 9, as has been suggested above.
Margherita said on 3/Aug/08
He just said 6ft 5 on the episode with the smallest car ever that he squeezed in to.
Cj said on 22/Jul/08
Maybe he says his height while in his shoes,i here thats the trick in hollywood.
Gus said on 17/Jul/08
He says he is 6ft5 on topgear
Yaspaa said on 17/Jul/08
Strange that,he has always described himself as 6'5.
Cj said on 10/Jul/08
His official myspace says he is 6ft4in Click Here
miko said on 5/Jul/08
Rob - perhaps a small downgrade? He is nearly 50 - bad sloucher too.

6"4.5 peak - 6"4.25 current.
Jasper said on 30/May/08
@Rj

I was at the Top Gear Show last year, I'd discribe him as 6ft5", he stood just as tall as my 6'5" dad. And he was surely 4" taller then me (I was about 6'1" at that time)
Rj said on 6/May/08
Ross's footwear was normal dress shoes so at the very max he would have been 6, 2" as many reports say that he is under 6, 1". There was no way that there was 3/4 inches difference between Ross and Clarkson. Clarkson is not 6, 5" although he would love to be. The fact that he keeps on saying that he is makes me doubt him even more. I'd say that he is between 190-192cm - undoubtedly he is a big guy but he isn't 196cm.
Yaspaa said on 14/Apr/08
What was jonathan ross's footwear like? He may have worn lifts knowing that Jeremy was going to be on the show.
Robbie H said on 18/Mar/08
i think clarkson is more 6'3 then 6'5
MK said on 10/Mar/08
Definitely looks to have lost an inch since motorworld. 6'4'' seems a better assumpsion, Walliams 6'3'' at most.
rod said on 5/Feb/08
I was always convinced that this guy was 6'5'', but having seen him recently on the jonathan ross show i would say he was probably more 6'4''.
Matthew said on 2/Feb/08
He is 6'5 if his posture is good. But his head is so big and heavy he stoops and has terrible posture. Even with bad posture he is 6'3/6'4 so I could go as high as 6'6 with him. He is really skinny in person too. I met him in my shop last week.
Yaspaa said on 20/Dec/07
Fry did'nt look taller than Clarkson considering the angles. Camera angles are an absolute ****ing nightmare,the slightest vertical or lateral photographic angle change can cause havoc with visual conception,making an accurate comparison very difficult to access.
Lmeister said on 18/Dec/07
Jeremy does look shorter than Stephen Fry and he has a bit thicker shoes, but still 6ft4 min with military posture he is 6ft5.
Alex V. said on 15/Dec/07
Stephen Fry in Top Gear Click Here
TheMan said on 10/Dec/07
Yeah Clarkson have to say either 6,4 1/2 now but deffently 6,5 in prime still probably is no shorter than 6,4 though.
Alex V. said on 8/Dec/07
Stephen Fry was in Top Gear and looked taller than Clarkson, maybe because of his large frame.
H said on 7/Dec/07
So, where is his photo?
Robin said on 30/Nov/07
Clarkson claims to be 6'5
Anonymous said on 23/Nov/07
After seeing him next to the rugby player, he is 6'4 min, prolly 6'4
ian said on 21/Nov/07
H was a lot bigger than gordon ramsey when hew was on the show. It looked four inches gap at least and i always thought ramsy was 6 1" at least
OutBenchThis said on 20/Nov/07
Petter, in Clarkson's German-hating editorial that he writes, he has referred to his height being 6'4" aswell. Too be honest I think he's 192cm (6'3.5") and can get away with 6'5" as it works well with his oversized ego. The photos with Peter Jones are difficult to tell because of the angle, one of the photos looks like Jones has 4 inches on Clarkson which would make sense.
G-MANN said on 20/Nov/07
On this week's Top Gear, big rugby player Lawrence Dallaglio (who is billed as 6'3"-6'4") came on and Clarkson was still a couple of inches taller. He must be close to 6'5".
Petter said on 20/Nov/07
He has frequently stated that he is 6'5" on the show.
He also has the looks of a very big man, so I'd say that 6'5" is good, or maybe he's gone down towards 6'4" because of age and other boring aspects.
No doubt he is tall though.
GUK said on 20/Nov/07
Clarkson must be 6ft5, here he is with 6ft 7 Peter Jones and 6ft James May Click Here
Bleemo said on 19/Nov/07
Jeremy was a shade taller then Laurence dallaglio when he was on Top gear, who is almost 6'4 if I am not mistaken.
Anonymous said on 19/Nov/07
Jeremy doesnt wear big soled shoes since they arent good "driving shoes". I bet his shoes give him less than 0.5 inches.
OutBenchThis said on 18/Nov/07
Next to 6'2" David Walliams he doesn't look 6'5".. Click Here
Assassin said on 17/Nov/07
Peter had a good 2-3 inches in Clarkson in that picture.
miko said on 16/Nov/07
Hammond is 5"7.
Markus Zorin said on 16/Nov/07
Wonder how he worms himself into those sports cars...they all have a low roof.
I can't even sit decently in a Toyota Celica, which isn't that low!

How tall (or small) is that other guy, Richard Hammond ?
miko said on 16/Nov/07
In one photo of Clarkson and Jones they are both the same height, good posture and same shoes, so either Jones isnt 6"7 or Clarkson is more than 6"5, which probably puts Clarkson at around 6"5.75 and Jones at 6"6.25.
Anonymous said on 15/Nov/07
Big fan of top gear here. Clarkson is 6'5 easy. 6'6 could easily be a true aswell.
Radcliffe said on 15/Nov/07
I would place this guy as at least 6'4 but not over 6'5. A genuinely tall guy tho. U rarely see sum1 in the studio audience taller than him.
bob 1 said on 14/Nov/07
Clarkson does normally look very tall (around 6'5" or so). Only comparison that's made me think he might be shorter than that is with Peter Jones from Dragons' Den, who is cited as 6'7".
Click Here
tank said on 14/Nov/07
I stood in front of him at the Motor Show in Birmingham in 1996. He is between 6'5 and 6'7". My best friend is 6'3" and Mr Clarkson was way taller than him. I'm only 5'8" so it's hard for me to accurately judge someone so much taller than me. He also wears just a size 9 shoe!
Anonymous said on 14/Nov/07
I have always thought he was what he said he was, 6'5. He has mentioned his hip surgery before, Nothing below 6'4 I would think.
Anonymous said on 13/Nov/07
He is pretty tall. Towers James May which is listed somewhere as 5'11.5"
