@Andrea, I think you'd be surprised to know how many italian actors who claim around 178-180 cm are actually under 175 cm, let's say in that low average range between 170 and 175 cm. From my observations, I can tell that all these guys are in that range:
Francesco Montanari, Marco Bocci, Vinicio Marchioni (All about the same height, maybe 172 cm?) Filippo Nigro (about 3 inches shorter than Favino in the movie ACAB, appears to be as tall as Bocci in the pictures where they're together), Alessandro Roja (Certainly no taller than Accorsi in tv SHOW 1992), Raz Degan (Listed 6 ft tall, he's way shorter than a legit 6ft like Argentero!). If you take a look, I'd like to know your opinion about those actors. I'd bet no one of them exceed the 5ft9 mark.

Well, in other photos there doesn't seem to be much between them: Click Here But yeah, overall I don't think Accorsi is quite as tall as he claims. 5'9 range could certainly be closer, under that I don't know yet, although there are definitely some photos where I can see it...

Andrea, a 178 cm Accorsi would make Favino near 185 cm, so I can't see Accorsi above 174 cm. Look at his pictures with Alessandro Cattelan, who's a real 178 cm guy (With Ronaldo o fenomeno he appears in that range).

Accorsi did claim 178... While I too have my doubts he's that tall, I also doubt he's as low 5'8. In fact, if Matilda De Angelis is as tall as listed on here, his claim doesn't look bad at all! Click Here Click Here

Hi Rob,
If Favino is around 179-80 cm, how tall might be his colleague Stefano Accorsi?

Accorsi is clearly taller than his former wife Laetitia Casta, but I can't decide my guess for him. A flat 5 ft8? Maybe even a weak 5 ft8 such as Cillian Murphy and Tom Cruise? Or is he closer to 5 ft9?

Editor Rob5ft 8-8.5 first though, but not really seen much of him (or remember him).

If you want to add a more direct quote, he really claims 182 here, Rob: Click Here
Though even from watching more movies of his, I still can't see him that tall.
I've seen sometime ago that he did a movie with Sam Claflin Click Here , maybe it would be interesting to see how he stacks up with him in it.

Editor RobNot seen the movie, it looks like one Jenny would watch so will keep it in mind.

Rob, you should definitely add Il traditore (The Traitor in English) to his credits. Great performance by him!
Btw, he's listed at 182 on that e-TALENTA site: Click Here If that's what he claims, it certainly seems more a shoe claim though. Bear in mind this other guy also lists himself at 182 ( Click Here ), and genuinely looks in that range: Click Here

Editor RobI'll mention that talent claim at the top.

Is he, Rob? That guy, Claudio Baglioni, is a famous italian singer and he has claimed both 184 and more recently 185. Although I haven't seen that much of him, I would have said that he may well have been easily near his 184 claim at his peak, considering that he can still look somewhere in 6' range (he's in his late 60s now), but I have never paid that much attention to his footwear... As you can see here, he does look comfortably taller than someone like Raoul Bova (both in footwear boots): Click Here
As for Michelle, I don't know what kind of footwear she's wearing in that pic, but I certainly wouldn't have guessed her as low as 5'6. More somewhere in 5'7 range.

Editor RobIt does look very similar to what elevator sneakers will look like.

Hello Rob.
How tall Michelle Hunziker is?
Around 167-168 cm?
She probably wears a 8-10 cm heel.

Rob, i know you've said you're quite busy at the moment but i'll try to ask you again... Did you have a look at Luca Argentero? There are even some pictures with Pier out there...
He claimed (he actually wrote down those heights in some "profiles") 183 twice and once 184...
Appe 6'0.5 also met him and said he didn't look over 183 in person! He can pull off looking 6'1 with Javier Bardem and James Marsden but maybe it's more the case of them being overlisted!

Editor Rob 6ft is probably ok for him.
Andrea said on 9/Apr/16
Ok, thanks!
As for Favino, having another look, i do agree that 179 is not only very possible but probably a better shout!

Editor Rob I can't remember how he looked with Pitt in wwz, I do remember peter capaldi having a scene and not looking much more than pitt.

Tom hanks makes him look 5'9 at best. 5'8.75 is how tall he is. I see close to a 2-3 inch difference between him and tom hanks.
