Paul Wesley's Height
5ft 10 (177.8 cm)
American Actor best known for playing Stefan Salvatore on TV series The Vampire Diaries. This photo is from a Rogue Events Vampire Diaries convention in 2011. Paul had about quarter inch more thicker boots than our sneakers. Lauren Cohan had big heels this day and actually looked a little taller than Paul when they were standing together.

Editor RobShe did edge Paul out, maybe half inch when they were standing and talking...but like I said, they were very big heels.

I think he's borderline 5'10, 5'10 1/4 max without shoes. Great height and the hero hair can make him seem even taller. Him and ian somerhalder can appear to be a similar height at times but if you put them beside eachother without the boots on i recon he'd slightly edge ian by about 3/4 of an inch.

Why did Jenny look a lot shorter than she should've in the first pic?
Editor Rob
@Rob
Why did Jenny look a lot shorter than she should've in the first pic?
Editor RobI believe from what I remember, the photographer might have been more between Lauren/myself as we look at her, which could be accounting for height drop off on Jenny's side.

@Bobby
You're right. Everyone has their own defintions and methods. A lot of people like to group Canson and myself as being the same, but even we have different methods and defintons, in more ways than one. We both drop to around 1/4"-3/8" at our lows, but I still claim 6'5.5", whereas he doesn't bother with the half and claims simply 6'4".

Editor RobI don't think he would be wearing them. However, with an ankle boot you can fit more of a lift than a normal shoe, which has a limit to what you can fit in.

Saw Paul at Los Angeles Airport, He looked 6ft1, but he has thick boots that day, I would estimate him to be at around 5ft11 and 3/4, just a little under 6ft bare foot.
178cm for him would be absurd, he is no way a short guy like 178cm. He always looked tall in real life.

The comment is a year or two old, but I still think it deserves some attention. I don't make excuses. I'm just practical and that's all there is to it. I also have different definitions than others on here, so that clashes. I wouldn't say I have been dishonest.

@Christian: I see what you’re saying that it’s undervalued but people continuing to lie only makes it worse imho. I think for guys that size maybe splitting it is fair enough and saying 5’10 1/2 is fine if you desire meaning if Greg dips to 5’10.25 at a low and only because just like a 5’10.25 and a 5’10 look the same so will a 5’10.25 and a 5’10.5. Plus at that range you’re right most will want to be taller so he would actually never be called out on that as lying up. But that’s where the parity is once over 6’0” don’t see it necessary to round. That’s why like for me or you both wake up 6’5 and 6’6 respectively but I feel more in line with a 6’4 and am happy with that height vs claiming 6’5” especially since I don’t measure it for more than maybe 10-15 minutes in the AM. When I measured this morning I was 195.7 out of bed and was down to 194.8 after an hour of being awake. Then now at 6.5 hours out of bed was 194 flat. I didn’t lounge around or anything tho and made sure I didn’t recline or anything and just sat in a regular chair upright when we ate breakfast etc.
A lot of my rationale with not claiming higher at my size tho has to do with how I get when someone inflates me I can be pretty annoyed so I don’t want to do it to someone taller if I claimed 6’5” then a legit 6’5 guy I would be forcing him to claim 6’5 1/2 or 6’6” etc. maybe forcing isn’t the right word but putting them in an awkward situation which is what people do to others when they lie. And I know very few 6’5” guys that actually want to be taller. I even have a 6’5” friend your size that won’t claim anything above 6’5”. He just says he’s 6’5 even tho he’s strong 6’5 too. So I do it out of fairness as one I don’t see a claim as being very important in the grand scheme of things as it’s just a way for people to psych themselves out and There is no added incentive for me to claim taller at any height let alone 6’4”.
my definition is like Rob describes them too. Someone who is .25 up to maybe half at a low or near the low. I think once you’ve surpassed half you can say weak but in my case or yours honestly (not sure how you feel about a roundup on yours) but at my height 6’4.5 I would be content not rounding up to 6’5 same with 6’5.5 for sure as I wouldn’t want to round up to 6’6. If I were like 6’4.75 I’d be okay with 6’5 then but 6’5” is the max height In my honest opinion that is still good. Probably right where you are is about as tall as one could be firmly into 196 but still closer to 6’5 at a low.
@Greg: tbh though it really wouldn’t matter unless you’re 6’0” at your lowest or maybe close to it like 5’11.5 or so. At 22 you likely have stopped growing (I thought you were more like 20). But at that age you probably won’t gain much unless maybe 1/8” and get to where you don’t go below 3/8. If you got a 1/4” that would be like Christian said roundable and you could comfortably be in the middle or even closer if a mm above it

Canson, 3 months ago I was 5'10.25" at my low and 5'11" in the morning. I'm not sure either why they attacked me, I think it was because I didn't use the same type of tape that Rob is using... but now I've provided them enough evidence (Measuring myself with the tape that Rob uses etc) that it is basically imposssible to say I lie about my height.

Canson: Yeah I could see Greg shooting up like 8mms over the next 2 years.
Christian: yeah 5’11” is a great height. They get guesses at 6’-6’2”.
Especially rowan Atkinson, I Watched that guy in English class and he looked like a giant.
^^I respect your guys opinions that 175cm is still the average height. But imho it’s near 2020 and 5’9” hasn’t been average since the 1980’s-early 2000s.

@Canson
I don't really blame Greg for claiming his morning height of 5'11" especially because we know that 5'10"-5'11" is undervalued in society due to people claiming higher than they really are. And you're right, since he's still young he could grow a bit and could no longer drop under 5'10.5" mathematically making him nearer to 5'11".

Last week I woke up at 6am and spent the entire day at uni after which I went out with my mates and didn’t come back until around midnight and it’s safe to say at that point I had reached my lowest possible evening height. I measured myself using an aerosol spray just like Rob does and I got 179,7 cm. Usually by dinner time / 5 pm I measure around 180,(0-3) cm.
Telling people I’m 5’10,91111.......” can get a bit tiring after a while which is why I just say 5’11” :D

Rob i feel like your to Obsessed With Height. Like you make almost everyone seem shorter. And you say that its always somehow fake when someone grows taller. Like the grow taller guru, (lance ward). He had tested it on many and it varied. Some grew alot some grew a bit. But you that one guy that grew from 6 foot to 6 2 he seemed like he actually grew when standing beside lance.

Editor Rob I would have guessed Josh exactly as he measured and Paul barefoot would likely be not over 5ft 10, but Paul generally isn't a guy with the greatest posture, he can look shorter than Ian at a lot of convention photos but in reality Somerhalder standing about on his own has great posture.

Editor Rob he looked about 5ft 10 from the times I seen him, I didn't think he was just 5ft 9.5 - we actually were only ones in the room at the time of that double photo with lauren so had a bit longer seeing him.

he's gotta be at least 5 10.5 if somerhalder is 5 9.25 they often look similar at beginning of TVD probably b/c Somerhalder is wearing lifts but as series progresses height difference becomes more apparent as Somerhalder stops wearing lifts

Hey Rob, what's your final decision on his exact height?
Editor Rob
Hey Rob, what's your final decision on his exact height?
Editor Rob I think I'd stick with as close to 5ft 10 as possible, give or take a small amount. I'd rule out 179 and 177

Rob, do you think Paul is even 5'11 with shoes on?
Editor Rob yes I think he looked about 5ft 10 in person, or near enough to that mark, so with 1 inch shoe near 5ft 11 mark.

Well Rob, being straight with you no bs HRG photo's confirms one of the lsitings is incorrect, and im sure it isnt Wesley. Maybe Haynes has wore lifts on occasions and fooled you a little. I know the odd photo isnt the be all and end all but only 1.5 inch there ?

Dan - I think, based on the heights Rob has for Paul and Ian, Daniel Gillies is around 5'9, as he is shorter than the other three in Vampire Diaries and not much taller than 5'7 Erica Durance on Saving Hope. Daniel looks a lot taller than his wife, Rachael Leigh Cook in all their photos, as she's a petite 5'2. I would guess Joseph is around 5'10 - 5'10.5, depending on the size of his heels.

Editor Rob those might be around 11cm, the front platform bit was nearly 5cm. Sure you can get 12cm heels aswell, ones Like the 6.5 inch on here are the kind that definitely give you 12cm actual height, even though they are being called 16cm heels

I walked by her the following day and she looked around 5ft 7 range (and was wearing like a 1.25-.5 boot I think).

it must be some pretty thick boots they wear, if Daniel Gillies and Joseph Morgan are 5'11 cos both men seem shorter than Ian Somerholder and Paul Wesley, whenever there on the show, Rob, how tall do you think Daniel and Joseph are?

Somerhalder must've been wearing like 4 inch shoes then because Wesley was clearly shorter wearing mega boots. A good video to check out if you can be bothered.

Nina is about 5'5"-5'6", and Paul is 5'10". Ian is 5'9"ish. There isn't anything to question anyway. Height isn't really that important, as long as you're not that short or tall. People look at your features, and your personality the most. No cares exactly how tall you are.

Paul is quite short, standing at 176cm, I believe he is below average height in america, Elijah on the other hand, is handsome and taller, he is 188cm
---------------------------------------------
nah, 175cm-178cm is in the mid-high spectrum of average - still average though. and Daniel Gillies who plays Elijah is 5'11 = 180cm not 188cm. i'll tell you this much though, i'd rather be 180cm and have good proportions than be some freak height like 195cm. PS. I seriously doubt you've met him let alone had the time to ask about his height. He's a teen heart throbe where girls everywhere are flocking to him why would he take out the time to answer some random question about his height. ^^

i've just seen the first episode of the vampire diaries. the thing to judge his height on are his shoes - at least 5 cm heels. would a 5'10''-6'0 guy wear those? i do not think so. even in those he is max as tall as somerhalder.

Rob, I can't understand why you have Wesley listed 2cm taller than Somerhalder. I have watched most episodes of Vampire Diaries and they are fairly equal in height, and if there was any difference I believe Somerhalder would be the one with the slight height advantage.
5'10" for Wesley is wrong.

Jenny,
Not sure if I see that one has a longer body than the other. In fact, they look pretty much around the same build (maybe even generally the same weight). But, what you're right on is the head. Paul has a longer head, for sure, whereas Ian's face is more square-shapped.

Allow me to clear out the deal of who is taller between Ian and Paul. If you see Ian has a longer body than Paul, just take a look at their shoulders and you will see Ian's shoulders taller than Paul's; but the thing is Paul has a big head and Ian a small one, so as Paul has a bigger head, he can reach the height of Ian. But if you imagine Paul with a head the size of Ian's, Ian would be definetely taller and it would happen the same if you imagine Ian with a head as big as Paul's. And for proving this:

Are you not looking at the pictures? And, the boots issue has absolutely no relevance if both are in them. Obviously, they are both the same height within a quarter-of-an-inch. Either Paul is closer to 5'9" or Ian is closer to 5'10". There is not a near-inch difference in their height, Rob.

If I look at the pictures MD posted, I have to say...Paul Welsey is wearing the bigest shoelifts I've ever seen. His posture looks as if he is standing on the tip of his toes. The curve of his shoes has also a very sharp angle. I don't know how tal the guy is, but he desperately wants to look a lot taller than he really is.
