Peak height was 6ft 9 ½ (207 cm)
Northern Ireland born actor and DJ best known for playing Hodor on HBO series Game of Thrones. On his own website's 'about me' section it used to mention "Standing at 6'10" tall" and Kristian claimed on Twitter to be "6ft 11 ish" and also "I'm either 6ft 10 or 11 depending on the measuring tape". He also mentioned "After all these years, there is only one thing that makes me self conscious about my height. Airplanes.".

I'm 41 and I'm 6ft 10in. Some people say I'm 6ft 11in, some 6ft 9in. I don't want them to shave off an inch, but I don't want them to add an inch either to disappoint people.

Pretty short neck so he has really high shoulders for his height which makes him look huge. You'd have to be about 6'3 to even see over his shoulders!
Got to be 6'9 in the pic with Rob or dang close. Weak 6'9 at the least.

Guys like him to walk shorter than what they'd probably measure. May give the appearance of a guy not much over 6ft6 but if he stood for a measurement I doubt under 6ft8

Rob, do you think he's lost more at this point? From what I've seen if he really straightens his posture and stands tall he might still hit 202+ cm

Really, in person he went from looking taller than Hafthor to a standing/walking height which made him look shorter than Thor, just in space of 5 years.

He is very Unhealthy over the last 8 years his weight has increased. If he does not do anything about it will drastically take over his health and morbidly, he's almost 46 years of age not too old yet but doesn't take care of himself I have family members who lost their feet to severe diabetes and health issues. If this man doesn't look for himself he will face death.

Editor Robback then I think he probably wasn't far off peak range, but just a few years later he was looking shorter.
Height loss and worsening posture could make him seem like a 6ft 6 guy at times.

can he have lost 1,5 inches at just a little over 40 years? well he is not a normal dude with normal weight. i can believe 1 inch lost and the other is just bad posture.

At his height he probably cracked well over 400 lbs at some points. Think of how heavy a man of his proportions would be even if he were only 6'.

Even without beard his head isn’t less than 10.5

If is as big as 11 inch i don’t know, but for sure There are more chance that his head is 10.7 than 10.2. But i think after Rob look This photo

He clearly put his head in near 11 inch, considering that is eye-chin seem celarly bigger by over half inch than his eyelevel range (At least 5 inch)

@Rob in my opinion his head is around 10.25'' just take away the excess skin under the chin and beard it would look smaller than it actually is.

I agree... i am in this site for years now. The first times i don’t pay much attention on head size. I measured my head and I tried to measure the heights of others guy based on mine head size. after a while I realized that everyone had a head that could be bigger or smaller than mine. So for a Guy like nairn for example I can't calculate his height based on my head. and then from that moment I started to calculate the head lenght. that's why I often ask It

Beside you and consindering in that position he is about 2 inch over your head, but normally if he didn’t rise the eyes up, you were about an inch under his chin. If i adding your 10 inch long head, of course you have 9.5, but in the pic it’s shown as 10 inch.
Click Here
Nairn looks a good 2.5 inch over your head. Take off an inch because your head is an inch under his chin, it makes nairn head as 11.5 inch.
Take off another 1/2 inch because in reality you have 9.5 not 10 and nairn can look real close to 11 inch next to you

However I don’t know how long is his head. But in my opinion seems similar to Nash and kingma (near 11 inch). maybe in this pic he rises up his eyes respect to kingma and Nash, so it looks smaller. You met all 3 guys in person do you think a guy like Nash and kingma have a 1/2 of an inch longer head than nairn ? Seems a great amount of difference, I can understand 1/4 of an inch at most, but 1/2 of an inch seems really too much

He definitely need to lose at least a 120 pounds to keep his health back and maybe he would gain a 1/2 inch or more up standing straight. He was report to weigh over 360 pounds like 371. That is 168kg. That is truely unhealthy. No offence just stating facts..
and to think that Thor was almost 100 pounds heavier than that recently!

Just some general height comments as I don't know this actor well. Clint Eastwood at age 52-53 in Sudden Impact already looked to have dropped some noticeable height, in the 1/2 inch to possibly as much as an inch range. I was reading a medical journal and it was saying height loss begins in the 30s although it generally doesn't become noticeable until some years later. It make sense we don't wake up old at 60 or 70.

If you measure from the bottom of his chin and not his Turkey neck theres at least 2 inches from the top of Robs hairline. If his head is at least 10.5 inches big then he must be close to 6'8.5" or even 6'9" here. Looks like he slouches a bit too.

His head is legit huge. You gotta have to admire the size of it.
I knew a guy who looked like him, about 6'7-6'8, with a massive head on top of it. I couldn't beleive how large it was. Must have been 10.5 inch at the very least. I've never seen a head that big in my life before.
He wasn't what you'd call good looking, but I felt inferior as next to him because of that massive head.

My dad (who is 12 years older than Kristian) was 5ft 7.5 at his peak, but today, I think he may still be at his peak or no less than a 5ft 7 flat (which means Kristian lost more height for sure even before he turns 44).

Rob, the taller the person is the more he loses height with age? I think Kristian Nairn is too young to 4 cm tall, I know many people over 50 who have not lost even 1.5 centimeters compared to when they were 18.

Editor RobSome people who are carrying a lot of excess weight might find it takes a toll on back and joints. I think in Kristian's case, that's a reason for earlier height loss than expected.

@Rob
At only mid 40s he lost more than one inch?
Some people don't even lose that at 70...
Is it possible he didn't lose this much?
I think this is an example of why being too tall (especially 6'6+ ) can be devastating for the body.
If you are well over 6 foot you need to go the extra mile in taking care of your body and regularly going to doctor.

He says that until 35 he didn't have any problems and only during his filming for GoT he developed chronic back pain because he had to carry Isaac (Bran).
Very strange that in so little time (from 35 to...40?) he managed to lose so much height...I guess when you do something wrong at the weight he is at, your discs get punished hard.

6'8 and over 360lbs now.. That is terrible to lose 1.25" of height in 40s, imagine Kristian make it through to his 60s wouldn't he be like 6'5.5" then? Thinking of a peak at 6'9 1/4 becomes 6'5 1/2 in 60s which is the case of Clint Eastwood losing near 10cm after age 80. Which i bet 6'5 1/2 Rory McCann would be like 6'4 3/4 in another 20 years looking close in height with Kristian Narin that sounds scary..

Hey Rob what did he by “depending on the measuring tape”?
Editor RobMaybe he got different heights when measured. One stadiometer gave him a different measurement than say a tape measure might? Or it could be, time of day had a bigger difference on his height, given he's over 6ft 7, he might shrink more than an inch in height, like 1.5 range.

The picture with Rob isn't how he looks today though. He looked 6'8.5" - 6'9" whenever the picture was taken, sure. But now he typically looks more like 6'6". I still wonder if in his 20s to early 30s he couldn't have really been closer to 6'10" than 6'9"? I wouldn't doubt it. But today it's hard to imagine him even stretching for a measurement much beyond 6'7" - 6'8" range.

Editor Rob that his weight and size has really caused him posture problems...he can still manage to walk, just not as well as he could 5 years ago - believe me, he walked far more upright and looked noticeably taller just that short time ago...for last 3 years he didn't want to stand in photoshoots because it's painful for him now.

The guy is only 41 now and late 30's in that pic with Rob, which is NOT old, yet he looks much older than his age (late 50's at least) and his weight and posture is making him tilt forward. By the time he reaches 50 or even 60 he'll have lost several inches in height from his peak.

I believe he was probably right on 6'9" when this photo was taken. The question is: did he used to be just a little higher before this even? Maybe he was 6'9.5" peak, I think he'd be approaching 6'11" if measured in shoes or in the morning if that was the case. Could account for him thinking he was 6'10" - 6'11" range, which is clearly not the case at the moment.

Rob, you've once said that you were only standing 5'7" with Nairn,
Why did you put the line on 5'8" then?
Do you think he could be measured taller than björnsson today if he would fully streched up?

Editor Rob I think it would be confusing to do it. Today I struggle to see him taller than hafthor, but 3 years ago he could still stand pretty tall, in this photoshoot he managed it with quite a few people.

Rob, the only reason why he can pass as 6'10'', is b/c your dropping a few cm from your actual height and Nairn has a fair bit of chunk of hair, otherwise I think he actually looks like a strong 6'9'' in this pic with you. I have a question, did you list him at 6'10'' before on this page?

Editor Rob based on the angle and their positions, I think there is no less than 4, possibly at times more in that clip, but I think you can see at a point Nairn standing a bit taller - his natural standing height can vary.
I'm glad I got a photo with him back when he was able to stand tall in photos and didn't begin asking to sit on a chair.

It's an old clip, Rob... I wouldn't say Kristian looks under 6'9 there but he's much closer to the camera, so he'll look taller than he is!
Kristian doesn't look taller than 6'8 with you and there's a picture with Peter Mayhew, listed at 6'10, who looks a good couple inches taller than him! 6'8 is much closer to his real height, unless he always stands with bad posture with the others!
And hey before you say he could have lost some height... The picture with Peter was taken before you met him :)

Rob, also I don't think that guy too is a legit 6'10''. I just watched one of his videos Click Here Apparently, he was 6'9'' when he was in 8th grade there's possibility he stopped growing or most likely grew another cm later. I think the older he got it gave him the right to exaggerate his height even more to a ridiculous 7'1'' which is BS.

World average height for a male is 5'7-5'8. Ever been to Asia? South America? Latin America? Many countries where men are below 5'7 on average.. And theres no country where 180-189 range is considered 'medium'. Its fairly tall even in Scandinavia and in Holland.

Rob, you think a peak and current height could be in order for this guy? I know he's young for that, but maybe a 6'9.5" peak and 6'8.5" current might tell a more realistic story for both what he used to be and what in the best case scenario he may be able to stretch himself up to today.

If I was Rob I think I'd list:

I think it's pretty likely he's prematurely dropped height, he really doesn't look much more than 6'7" today but maybe he could still measure a strong 6'8" if standing his best. I think he was likely in the 6'9" - 6'10" range until recently.

He could suffer with knee/back problems these days which won't make him able to stand tall. I have an injury in my left knee at the moment and if I exercise with high intensity it gets so tense that I cannot straighten it fully.
I measured 1.5 cm shorter the other day because of that, though I measure my normal height again now.
Freaking scary. Fortunately I'm having an X-Ray soon

I can believe 6'9, no more.(Though a guy his size could certainly lose height faster than a typical man, not to mention he probably varies at least 3cm from morning to night.

Editor Rob that photo was from july 2013. I'd be stunned if he measured that tall, he looks shorter than that. Although imagine if you shrink nearly 2 inches from out of bed to night, that would cover a bigger possibility of being 6ft 10 out of bed...

6'9-6'10. How some see 6'8 is beyond me, but whatever maybe it makes you feel better. He has 13-14 inches on Rob easily.

Perhaps he's having some health issues and that's the reason for the chair. That would make sense with the way you described his issues with walking.

Can't believe this man is only 38 years old (all the white hair). Easily 440-470 pounds imo.

Editor Rob he seems nice enough with fans, although I have to question why he is sitting down for some photos.
There were like 30 people wanting a photo at a last con I seen him at (takes about 5-10 minutes max) yet he asked for a chair again. One of his traits that got him GOT is his size, so I didn't quite understanding why he's been wanting to sit down....
Would be a bit like me having a celebheights event and for 'photos with rob' me sitting on a chair. Pointless.

Rob, if you put Nash and Nairn under the stadiometer who do you think would come out taller?

Rob, if you put Nash and Nairn under the stadiometer who do you think would come out taller?
Editor Rob Nairn struggles a bit with walking, as I say the guy this year can look like a 6ft 6er, but I've seen him stretching up and he can still be near 6ft 9 I believe under the device, both probably close enough it is hard to pick.
Editor Rob said on 26/Aug/14
Actually his posture last few shows is up and down, he goes from looking more 6ft 6 up to 6ft 9. Nash and Tyler Mane can give a bigger impression as they have better posture and can hold the 6ft 8 range easier than this guy.
As a side note, even with only 25 people at last event wanting a photo (about 5 minutes really) he still asked to sit on a stool for the shots.

Why would a person who's already over two meters tall lie about their height, and paint themselves as even taller? Especially by two whole inches?

I liked the expression "G'ing"
Maybe one day we would read on dictionaries something like
To G:to act like Glenn Cunningham (known as G),to boost one's height,against all sense and under all circumstances.(By extension:all people claiming 5'8)
Lol,That would be the ultimate tribute to G's long career as a 5'8,what do you think?
Who knows if the site becomes very famous,this could happen.

I just stood next to Kristian tonight. His head is massive. I am nearly 6'2" and he easily had 9 inches on me. He is a really jovial and nice guy. Stood and took pictures and selfies with fans far longer than any of the other cast outside NYC hotel in the cold. Laughing and enjoying the folks the whole time.

For me your photographs of ageing celebs are the most valuable on here in that they give an indication of much height they've lost like David Prowse and John Rhys Davies. Of course a photo with Cruise or Stallone would be the holy grail of celeb height photographs but you're unlikely going to meet them and have a photo, it could set you back a mint!!Editor Rob

Arch Stanton said on 22/Feb/14
It seems that way, which makes it difficult to judge height!!! In all honesty a lot of your photos Rob cause half the arguments here because they see a celeb in a photo with you at a dead cert 5'8.25 with a certain posture or camera angle as it was taken and assume that it is exactly how it looks in person. Of course it's great to have the photos taken with celebs but you see what I mean about how some photos can convince some of the posters here that you're too generous or whatever.Editor Rob

Editor Rob or some photos can make celebrities look a bit taller.
believe me I want to get the best photo I can...ultimately adding these photos is part of the site, and if sometimes it's not quite showing the difference exactly as I thought, it still shows I've been there and seen them...not just beside myself but with other people.

[Editor Rob: it depends on the photographer's height, the lense, you could appear at the chin of a 6ft 6 man, above it or a few inches below it!]
Rob, if they were side by side that shouldn't make a difference. Of course if you move one or the other forward or back, even slightly, it can make a pretty big difference. Camera perspective is a tricky thing.

Not in the pics I've seen like George Romero, Ryan McPartlin etc Ali Baba. I also think if Nairn stood next to a stadio 6'5" would come lower than where you think. You don't honestly think he's only an inch taller than you Ali?

Remember rob is dropping over an inch here...
6'8 range is totally possible even rob didn't rule out that. I personally think he's 6'8.75 or so but rob already dropped him from 6'10 so he may anger him if he drops more off!

Rob what would you guess for his out of bed height? I could actually buy 210-11cm, as I say a guy like him could lose as much as 2 inches I think. I think the position of the photograph hiding the legs and his head is fooling a lot of people here. I'm sure in person he actually looks easily 6 ft 9. His head length and shoulders are surely markedly longer than average. If you consider that Rob generally comes to the bottom of the nose of legit 6'4" range guys look at the height gap between the end of the nose and where Rob's head comes on him. 6'7"-6'8" is ridiculous.
