I want to expand my roles as much as I can, being English, 6 foot 2.
- Chicago Times, 1988
I sound like I sound. I’m tall and slim. A huge part of what we present is our physique and the way we sound and if somebody wanted me to play a five foot two Geordie who was 34 they wouldn’t come to me. That’s the nature of the business.

I can buy a full 6'2 for him at peak. No more than that but.
Lenad 5ft9.75ins said on 24/May/23
weak 6'1 is pretty believable for him now.
Lenad 5ft9.75ins said on 12/Mar/23
He looked to be marginally taller than strong 6'1 Robbie Coltrane in Danny the champion of the world. Solid 187cm for Irons at peak.
Lenad 5ft9.75in said on 26/Feb/23
187.7cm peak and 184.8cm now?
Lenad 5ft9.75in said on 8/Feb/23
I wouldn't rule out the full 188cm when younger but I think there's a better chance he was scraping it.
Lenad 5ft9.75in said on 29/Jan/23
He never seemed over 6'2 to me except maybe out of bed.
Lenad 5ft9.75in said on 24/Jan/23
He probably was a weak 6'2 at peak.
Lenad 5ft9.75in said on 20/Jan/23
In that scene in lolita, when Humbert attacks quilty and kills him, irons had dress shoes on and langhella was barefoot and they were similar in height. Weak 6'2 for irons at peak very believable.
Lenad 5ft9.75in said on 18/Jan/23
He was probably a weak 6'2 at peak. 187.8cm barefoot normal part of the day? A solid 188cm not improbable, 189cm feels like a stretch except for out of bed.
berta said on 4/Jan/23
186,5-188 peak. I think 6´1 3/4 could be what he measured. These days he can probably look 184 in person because of bad posture but i still think he is 185 when measured.
Philip Z said on 9/Nov/22
In their scenes together in Damage (1992), Irons looked almost a full head taller than 5ft 6 listed Binoche, and generally gave off a towering impression with impeccable posture throughout the movie. Very close to 6ft 2 peak, and certainly closer to 6ft 1.75 than 6ft 1.5 at least.

⭐ Giacomo Puccini is the composer of M. Butterfly, Tosca, La Boheme, and plenty more besides.

The first 'e' in La Boheme has an accent above it, like so: `. It is called l'accent grave.
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 14/Aug/21
After seeing the latter half of 'Fatal Attraction' yesterday, I thought it might be an apt progression to get acquainted with David Cronenberg's version of M. Butterfly, which arrived on my doorstep early last week.

I knew it wouldn't be the opera, Jeremy hardly being an opera singer, but it was still beautiful, with humour typical of Cronenberg, with the ultimate sad ending.

Anything with Jeremy Irons is welcome in my collection, and all David Cronenberg's work is imperative. I'd like to have seen both guys discussing the film, but my DVD video disc didn't accommodate that.

It isn't true to the story but based upon it, and if you're familiar with Puccini, there's quite a lot of his music, which has me out in goose pimples.

⭐ Puccini was born on the 22nd December 1858 and died on the 29th November, 1924, aged 65. I couldn't find his height, alas!

Jeremy gets 6ft1.75 and 6ft0.75 for today's height. He's a remarkably handsome man with a beautiful speaking voice.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 17/Jun/21
6ft1¾ at least peak
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 10/Apr/21
I watched 'Dead Ringers' last night, not having seen it for many, many years. Of all the twins movies I've seen, which usually involve a good twin/bad twin scenario, I found this far and away the best and most thought provoking.

Playing privileged twins, who work as gynecologists, we're able to observe the closeness of an identical twins' relationship, and how they share everything. They live in the same apartment, sleep with the same women unbeknownst to the women, but when the more emotionally sensitive twin, Beverly, falls deeply in love with Claire, played by Genevieve Bujold, who works as an actress but is desperate to have her own children, she starts to suspect that Beverly might be schizophrenic, the twins having both spent time with her, feigning to be one and the same.

Beverly's twin is called Elliot, and the brothers are so close to one another that when Bev starts spiralling out of control with drugs, feeling rejected by Claire when she goes off to shoot a movie, he nearly dies, but Elliot covers up that it's from an overdose and decides to take him home to supervise a detoxification programme for his beloved 'other half'.

I don't want to talk too much about the outcome, but it really is dreadfully sad. It makes you appreciate the bond between identical twins and that they do feel each other's pain in a way that the vast majority of us will never experience, both physically, as tests have revealed, and emotionally. When Elliott's plan to cure his brother's addiction fails, we are left wondering if dying is a preferable alternative for the healthy twin to living without his brother.

It's slightly amusing that one twin admits to being 2mm taller than the other, and that Elliot calls Beverly his 'little brother', being born first, but a height difference like that isn't worth straining your eyes to try to observe! The film was made in 1988, so Jeremy was 39/40 with a full head of light brown hair, and when you see him walking about, even if there's nobody to compare him to, you can see he's a tall guy. He has typically tall man proportions. When the film started, I put Jeremy at 6ft1, but there's a scene in the middle of the film which is shot outside a building, and enables you to compare him to other people, which caused me to think he was pushing 6ft2. There are plenty of scenes which show Jeremy hunched over in a state of intoxication, yet still he looks tall! Perhaps I need to dig out my copy of 'Stealing Beauty' to compare him to Liv Tyler....🤔

Anyway, this is a film well worth investing in. 📀💕😁 Though not your usual David Cronenberg visceral horror, the subject matter couldn't have been handled better.

6ft1.75 peak; 6ft0.75 today.
Patm said on 25/Mar/21
Looks every bit of 6ft next to Ben affleck in justice league, id say he's just over the 6ft mark today

I think normal part of the day, a young jeremy irons would have measured at a weak 188cm.

Happy 72nd birthday to Jeremy Irons known for voicing Scar in the Lion King. 🎂🎁🎤
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 19/Sep/20
🎂🎈🎁🎊 Happy Birthday Jeremy 🎊🎁🎈🎂

The ever-handsome and suave Jeremy Irons turns 72 today.

One of my favourite of his films is 'Lotita'; I actually felt quite sorry for him as he was hounded relentlessly by the scheming little miss, played by Dominique Swain. I did laugh at the car scene, when she sticks a paper bag over his head! I also like 'Dead Ringers', a David Cronenburg movie, and 'Stealing Beauty', in which he stars alongside Liv Tyler.

I love his voice! 💕🦁

Have a wonderful Birthday, Jeremy! XX

6ft2 peak; 6ft0.75 now.

188cm peak isn't impossible I don't think. Definitely not under 187cm
TheBat said on 22/Nov/19
He looks 6'1" flat today.
179cm guy said on 23/Aug/19
The current listing still seems likely.
James Brett 172cm said on 2/May/19
A tall man for sure but of course not very tall
RichardSpain said on 29/Apr/19
I don't know if this guy was taller than 187 /188cm barefoot.(or close 6'2)

6'2 maybe with shoes ,boots... but not barefoot. Barefoot he was 186 cm max, so....

My guess :186 cm barefoot in peak
Nowadays 185cm. Is probably
berta said on 23/Mar/19
legit 187 peak and if he stands tall just over 185 today. 188 is a little to high even at peak. most i can believe is 187,5 and lowest the current listing.
Lenad 5ft9.75in said on 28/Jan/19
I don't think he was ever over 6'2 to be realistic!
Lenad 5ft9.75in said on 6/Aug/18
I think he was a very solid 187cm when younger. Like 187.8cm or something like that. I wouldn't ever go over a full 6'2 though except out of bed when younger. Still a lot taller than I'll ever be!
haharvey93@gmail.com said on 26/Jul/18
Berta, it’s possible he could still measure 6ft1


I don’t think in his prime he was less than 187cm
berta said on 23/Apr/18
i think jeremy would not be shorter than 6 foot 1 if he stood at his tallest for a measurment.
PD 213 said on 23/Feb/18
This is my opinion:

Peak = 186 cm (6'1.25)
Now = 184 cm (6'0.5)

I think 6ft1¾ peak at least, quite possibly 6ft2 on the nose.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 20/Jul/17
Rob, is 184cm possible for Irons now?



He does look more than 1in shorter than Dev Patel in recent photos. Peak I do think he'd be the same though
Editor Rob
he is looking a bit under 6ft 1 recently.
Richardspain said on 30/Jun/17
187cm / 188cm younger in peak barefoot.

Today near 70 years old 184/185cm is credible for him.
Ted said on 22/Jun/17
A weak 6' 2'' when younger.
Rory said on 31/May/17
No I don't believe he'd measure 6ft 1 today. As I say, up close he looked near 6ft 1 in 1.5 inch heels.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 29/May/17
188cm on the nose peak. Today 185/186cm zone.
RichardSpain said on 29/May/17
He is tall I think he was a solid 188cm when he was young ( 6'2 feet) nowadays 185 cm but not less.

Yes he is 185 or 6'1 feet nowadays.
Rory said on 3/Mar/17
I've saw him up close yesterday and he looked 6ft1,but, he had 1.5 inch style shoes on. I think today he'd measure no more than 6'0.75. I'm quite tempted to say 6'0.5 today but given his age and less than perfect posture I can see him measuring 6'0.75 too.I do feel him measuring the full 6ft 1 today though is unlikely.
kurtz said on 19/Feb/17
183 cm now
185 cm peak
Peter 179cm said on 15/Jan/17
Looked about 5cm taller than Fassbender on Assassin's Creed.I'd say listing is right,maybe 1/4 inch under 6'1 at worst.

A weak 6'2 guy peak I think. I wouldn't rule out a strong 6'2 but rampage, you have a point.

185-186 now, 187-188 when younger

"Peak Height was 6ft 1¾in (187cm)"

No less than that and quite possibly the full 6ft2. I agree that he looks more 6ft1 flat today...
SomeGuy said on 8/May/16
Rob I think his current height is 6 ft 0.75 in (185 cm).

Here he is with Dev Patel: Click Here Click Here Click Here

What do you think?
Editor Rob
considering he's now 67, it is likely he has lost half inch at least.

He look 6'2 in die hard with a vengeance

Did look near 6'2" in The French's Lieut's Woman.
Lebensdorf said on 5/Dec/14
I saw him in a clothing store in New York. This was about 5-6 years ago. He was definitely 6'2. Now I think he is closer to 6'1. He seems to have shrunk a little. Compared to Liam Neeson in "The Mission," he was no more than 2 inches shorter. More recently, he looked 6'1 in "The Borgias."
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 14/Nov/14
He looks 6ft1¾(187cm) in that picture w/h Prince William
Vibram said on 30/Oct/14
He's now about 6ft1.5 compared to 6ft3 Prince William. Slightly over 6ft2 peak is very probable (say 189cm). Click Here
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 25/Oct/14
Rob, could he have been a 6ft2 guy in the 70s-80s?
Arch Stanton said on 18/Oct/14
Weak 6'2 in Reversal of Fortune.
Arch Stanton said on 18/Oct/14
Rob can you add a photo and films like The Mission, Dead Ringers, Kafka, The French Lieutenant's Woman and Appaloosa? He is also known for the voice of Scar in The Lion King and for playing Pope Alexander VI in the TV series The Borgias.
Lenad 5 ft 9.75in said on 26/Sep/14
186-187cm range now seems reasonable
jtm said on 21/Jul/14
please don't compare him to dicaprio.
Guy said on 19/Jul/14
Btw in appaloosa he looks like 183 next t Viggo Mortensen.
Guy said on 17/Jul/14
Looks like 185-186 here with Leonardo DiCaprio Click Here
Lenad said on 26/Jan/14
scraping the 6'3 mark out of bed wouldn't be improbable. I still think Irons was a solid 188cm guy, but I wouldn't rule out 189cm. These days he looks 187cm max
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 16/Jan/14
Actually, I think a solid 6ft2 in his 20s-30s if not a fraction over. He looked really tall in the 70s and 80s. That way he have scraped the 6ft3 mark out of bed?
Lenad said on 12/Jan/14
some sites say 6'3. That's a shoed height no doubt
Lenad said on 31/Dec/13
186cm now 188cm peak
Lenad said on 18/Dec/13
he looked at least 4 inches taller than de niro in that movie
Arch Stanton said on 16/Dec/13
Looks about right in The Mission.
Lenad said on 14/Dec/13
I can't see him shorter than 187cm at his peak.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 9/Dec/13
"Peak height was 6ft 2in (188cm)"

He claimed 6ft3
Charlie said on 24/Jul/13
"Midnight Rambler" so because youre 186 doesnt mean your people in general are short? get a grip of reality dude.
By the way, Jeremy is 65 years old, how the heck do you expect him to be his peak height?! ofc he shorter now than in his prime.
Lorne said on 26/Jun/13
Could have been nearer 6'2 at peak... He is still a strong 6ft1 today, aged 65. He could easily be 186 today, and a solid 187cm(6ft1.75) at peak. He looked more than a flat 6'1 with Chris Meloni, in 2011. So either 6ft1.75 peak, or he just hasn't lost much.
Midnight Rambler said on 15/Jun/13
No way. I stood close to him in Lisbon. I'm 186 cm (6'1'') and he was clearly shorter than me. I would give him 183 cm (6') or, at most 184 cm (6' 1/2''. Never 187cm (6'1/2''). Please! and they say portuguese people are short...
Ace said on 18/Apr/13
I would give him a full 6'2 peak, and 6'1.5 nowadays. He really didn't look any shorter than that in Die Hard 3.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 1/Mar/13
188cm peak makes sense...looked a solid 6ft2 in Reversal of Fortune.
Lenad said on 9/Feb/13
id give him the full 6'2 peak. Nowadays 186-187
Arch Stanton said on 16/Jan/13
6'3 is a joke. Watching Appaloosa and he looks no more than 6'1" next to Mortensen and Ed Harris. He did look 6'2" in Die Hard.
Silent d said on 10/Oct/12
About the same height as craig ferguson. I was estimating he was about 6 foot 2. In die hard he was pretty tall. 186cm now.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 6/Aug/11
187.8cm or a weak 6ft2 might be his exact height. He never looks under 6ft1.5 and can easily look close to 6ft3(191cm).
Lenad said on 11/Jun/11
floats between 186 and 187cm today. During the normal part of the day at peak, he wouldve measured at a solid 188cm.
Lenad said on 11/Jun/11
Id say he floats between 186 and 187cm today most likely. Prime he floated between 188 and 189cm
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 1/May/11
6"2 peak Rob?
Lenad said on 26/Apr/11
6 ft 2.25 in prime maybe??

I'd say 186-187cm today and 188-189cm peak
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 2/Apr/11
186-187cm range nowadays....6ft2/2.5 in his prime
Viper said on 1/Apr/11
6-1 and change guy max
Ace said on 31/Mar/11
I must disagree Viper. In his prime he was clearly 6'1.5-6'2 at his peak. Nowadays I agree he is closer to 6'1. 6'1.5 at the absolute most, but probably no more than 6'1.
Lenad said on 19/Jan/11
Height is: 6 ft 1.25 in (186cm) Peak height was: 6 ft 2 in (188cm)
Lenad said on 19/Jan/11
I reckon 6'2-ish in his younger days. Today more 6'1 range
Viper said on 18/Jan/11
Hes 6-1 at best

Saw him in 2004 at the Toronto film festival. Was about 1 inch shorter next to 6'2" Warren Beatty, both in normal shoes.

Can look 6'3 at times. Strong 6'1 weak 6'2.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 27/Nov/10
Unquestionably 6"2 at his peak if not taller.
Lenad said on 5/Jul/09
Actually only a few sites say it is 6'1 but most say 6'2. several did say 6'3 but for sure that is a shoed height. 6ft3ish in shoes 6ft2ish barefoot. Definitly nothing less than what Rob has him
Hugh 191cm said on 2/Jul/09
Lol 320cm.
Lenad said on 27/Jun/09
This guy has been listed at 6'1 on several sites but he's obviously taller than that. he looks it. No way would a 185-186cm look that tall in Real life
Lenad said on 25/Jun/09
Looked a solid 6'2 on Brideshed revisited. The lowest Irons could possibly be is 187cm. There is no way he is only 185
Lenad said on 24/Jun/09

I will admit that he did look more 6ft1ish in Kingdom of Heaven

This is definitely a legit height for Mr. Irons!
Hugh 190cm said on 11/Jun/09
Probably 6ft2 when Die Hard 3 came out.

Anyone who thinks the 6'1 1/2 and 6'2 listings are shoed heights can get off this site

I doubt hes shorter than what Rob has him at
Hugh 190cm said on 30/May/09
Maybe 6ft2 flat
Lenad said on 17/May/09
187cm min and 189cm max. Hey Rob what made you change his height to 6 ft 1.5 from 6'1?
Hugh 190cm said on 16/May/09
Lenad is spot with his estimates or maybe even 6ft2 now and 6ft2.5 peak.
James said on 15/May/09
Yeah I saw 6'2 in Brideshead Revisited
Lenad said on 11/May/09
I think at peak Irons was a strong 6'2 guy (188-189cm) and now a weak 6'2 187-188cm)
kommodoro said on 5/May/09
I have met him at a shooting in Romania, he is 185-186 cm, for sure.
Lenad said on 1/May/09
A full 6'3 looks a bit much. A little over 6'2 like 189cm is possible
Hugh 190cm said on 1/May/09
I've seen this guy look 6ft3 occasionally. Might still be 6ft2ish. Certainly 187cm at the lowest. In Die Hard 3 he dis look slightly taller than Samuel L. Jackson who himself could've been close to the 6ft3 mark himself at that time.
Lenad said on 29/Apr/09
Looks 6ft2ish. He's not shorter than this listed height and I dont think it would hurt giving him a peak height of 188cm
Lenad said on 26/Apr/09
6ft3 is a bit much for Jeremy Irons but 6ft2 is very possible. He gets listed at 6'2 and 6'1 1/2 a lot from what I've read. He's not under 187cm. 187-188cm. I've also heard someone down the bottom say that the 6'1.5 and 6'2 listings are shoed heights but thats really ridiculos
Lenad said on 19/Apr/09
Rob no offense but it was stupid to list him at just 6ft1.
Lenad said on 18/Apr/09
I would say today 187-188cm. No way is he only 185cm. I am totally pleased that Rob upgraded him
-_-_-(Hugh)-_-_-/ said on 14/Mar/09
Now this is closer to the truth. Howabout 6ft1.5 now and 6ft2 peak.
Misha said on 9/Mar/09
Rob, 6'1" for Jeremy Irons is just wrong. In Adrain Lyne's "Lolita" remake (1997) Irons looks equal in height to Frank Langhella in the long closing scene where Humbert stalks Quilty at close range inside his mansion and kills him. Langhella's published height is 6'4". This is perhaps an exagerration, but Irons is clearly very nearly as tall as Langhella, who is probably an honest 6'3". I've seen many films where Jeremy Irons looks quite tall - this is just one relevant example. There is no way he is only 6'1". Where did you get this figure, Rob? Almost everyone posting agrees that he's taller, and he really should be upgraded to 6'2".
Lenad said on 7/Mar/09
He looks more than 185cm thats for sure.
LOL said on 17/Feb/09

Come on... he isn`t only 6-1, Rob. Do you honestly believe that he is only that. The man has claimed 6-2 and his fan site says 6-3. Ok, he was never quite 6-3 but I`d say nothing less than 6-2. 6-1... come on.
Lenad said on 9/Nov/08
Even though he is listed at 6'1 i sure as hell think he is more.

I have seen him listed as high as 6'5 (which is a little ridic) and as low as 5'11.25 (also wacko). He does seem taller than what's stated here, but he's a pretty thin guy, right?
Lenad said on 2/Oct/08
6'5 is laughable. I can see 6'2 for peak but 6'3 is overdoing it.

if we got a friend with the same height in a mirror you will see that he is a bit taller than you if you look in the side.

In Die Hard 3 looked about the same height as Samuel L. Jackson. 6ft 2 seems about right.

After rewatching Kingdom of Heaven, Irons and Csokas go back and forth. They both look to be about 6ft1, maybe 6ft1.25. Irons looked a good 2 inches shorter than David Thewlis(6ft3) who looked to be almost exactly the same as Liam Neeson(6ft4), which confirms my suspicions that he's shrunk a bit despite his poor posture. Also Thewlis looked to have 5 inches on Orlando Bloom(5ft10.25) who looked to be about 3 inches shorter than Irons. Just based on the movie, Rob's listed heights work pretty well for Irons and the rest of the cast.

No way in hell is he 6'3. He's the exact same height as Robbie Coltrane in a movie they did together. 6'1.
Josh said on 19/Jan/07
he´s no taller than 6'1 he actually looks 6'0.5 (184cm) the 6'2 listing is for sure a shoe height.

Saw him in 2004 on a red carpet with Annette Bening and Warren Beatty. He was about an inch shorter than Beatty. Both were wearing normal shoes.

Just saw Kingdom of Heaven, and something is off here, because Irons was taller than the 6ft2.5 listed Marton Csokas. I've beem suspicious of his height since the Lord of the Rings movies in which he was only a few inches taller than Cate Blanchett, and the same for Aeon Flux with Charlize Theron. I'm starting to think Csokas is 6ft at best, which would put Irons at around 6ft1. He did look only about 2.5 to 3 inches taller than Damon, in Bourne supremacy.

no more than 6, even that's a long shot
Editor Rob said on 8/Sep/06
Found his quote, from 1988 Chicago Times
"I want to expand my roles as much as I can, being English, 6 foot 2", so he has claimed that in his peak.

I sawe him on TV in San Sebastian festival and he looked much taller than the journalist who was cheering him. This journalist was 1'76-78 and Irons looked 12 or 14 cm taller. Irons must be near 1`90

Pierce Brosnan is at least 6"1, im from his home town off navan and he visits here alot. I've passed him on the street and hes at least 6"1 tall cause thats my height.
Brett said on 6/Nov/05
You reckon Pierce Brosnan rounds up haha, Mate for one Pierce says his 6'2", and I reckon he rounds down, from my personal encounter with him. Tom hanks in photos with lots of actors looks more then 6'1", he was bigger then Adrien brody and Daniel craig , so I think that unless you know a star personally, you cant judge their honesty haha.

From New York Post article - "I noticed a man standing nearby in the lobby who was very tall. Taller than Jeremy. I took the opportunity to finally get a really accurate reading on Jeremy's true height. I realized Jeremy was somewhat taller than I always thought. I asked this man how tall HE was and he said he was 6' 5 1/2". Compared to Jeremy, he was about 3" taller, I thought, which means Jeremy is approximately 6' 3" tall"

I think only Irons and Duchovny have the only heights you can trust:

Irons 6'1
Duchovny 6'0

Mr. K I like your theory! And I agree that many guys listed at this height do round up, as I have found from personal experience. I'm exactly between 185-186 cm and find that many celebs and even sports stars round up slightly by about a cm or two. Harrison Ford is another example, as is Edward Norton, and Tom Hanks (never met him, but he doesn't quite look 6'1" to me) are also examples. One guy to me, from personal experience, that our editor lists as being 6'1" who is definately taller is Daniel Baldwin, whom my comparison to Stephen does have being an inch taller. My encounter with Baldwin has him at a solid 6'2", you can even see this relative to Cole Hauser in Parazzi.

This is one of the actors that I have met and consider as a real 6'1", which in my opinion is 185.5-186 cms. In my opinion about 80-90% of the male actors rounds up their height. Many listed as 6'1" is actually about 184cms. And remember when a honest actor like Irons says that he is about 6'1" (he is about 186 cms) he will be almost one inch taller than those who rounds up, for example Nicolas Cage, Kevin Costner, Pierce Brosnan and many many more.
