How tall is Rebecca Romijn

Rebecca Romijn's Height

5ft 10 ½ (179.1 cm)

American actress and model, best known for playing Mystique in the original X-Men films, Eve Baird in The Librarians and Alexis Meade in Ugly Betty. She once said: "High heels. I'm 5'11", and sometimes I get self-conscious about wearing 4" heels. But [my husband] loves me in them, so who am I to say no?"

I used to be [5 feet 11]. But I remeasured and now I'm only 5 feet 10...it certainly is a mystery where that inch went.
-- 2003
Before I started as a model, I was a gawky teenager. I grew 6 inches over a summer. I was in physical pain from it. And skinny.

@Mimi
Kimora has taller heels and still doesn't look 2" taller than Rebecca. Kimora may not be legit 6'0".

She looked weak 5'10" with Tyra.
Mimi said on 8/Nov/20
Rob, in here does Kimora look 6foot with Rebecca? Click Here
Editor Rob
I think an inch or so taller there, not sure if heels are identical though.
Willis Christian Macaraig said on 17/Aug/20
She looks 5'8.5" to me because she wears thick heels to make her 5'11" or 6'.
Jam Cherry said on 1/Jun/20
179 cm fits her right wonder her claims how she lost some height though
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 16/Jul/19
@Mimi Shortie no. She still look tall like 5'8-5'9 from PR photo and its understand that the camera angle was shot from a higher level up from her face level making someone lost a few inches of frame. Go and see Michael Vartan page that pr photo he look like a 5'8 guy and he was atually tiny bit over 5'11.
MaryAnne said on 29/May/19
As the average guess suggests,5'10.5!
Mimi said on 5/Jan/19
She looks like a shortie from the photo above but she's actually over 6ft1 in those heels.

5ft10 flat
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 30/Jun/18
Shorter than 5'10 Tyra Banks? No chance. Listing now 5'10 1/2 is legit. Click Here:
Intevel said on 28/May/18
Rob is 5 ft 9.75 or a weak 5 ft 10 possible for Rebecca Romijn? With a lot of pics it seems like Tyra is taller than her. And Mandy Moore and Rebecca look the same height.
Editor Rob
I think Rebecca may well still edge out Mandy if actually measured
MAD SAM said on 21/May/18
She’s equal if not a cm shorter to Tyra Banks, gonna give her 178 cm though
Intevel said on 12/Jan/18
Also Rob if you look at pics of her and Mandy Moore, it’s hard to tell that Rebecca is taller. Is there a possibility that Rebecca is a weak 5 ft 10 and Tyra is a legit 5 ft 10?
Editor Rob
Yes they can seem quite close, all 3 of these girls...
Interval said on 11/Jan/18
Rob, she said that she measured at only 5 foot 10. That seems very believable. With most of the pictures of her and Tyra, Tyra looks a little bit taller.
Editor Rob
maybe she is being honest enough about measuring 5ft 10 and did get near 5ft 11 in the past, maybe earlier in the day or in flats, I will put her on 5ft 10.5 this moment.
Editor Rob said on 2/Jan/18
I did find another quote (from 2003) today in which she claimed to have remeasured herself at 5 feet 10!
Could have always been a case she was near 5ft 11 earlier in the day or just didn't stand as well for her 5ft 10 measurement...
Nik said on 22/Sep/17
I think 5'10" is a better fit for her than 5'11"!
Han said on 19/Sep/17
She is 5 , 9 I was a clear 3 inches taller when I saw her

Rob what happened to the 5 foot 10.5 that you had a long time? Something must have happened for you to suddenly change your mind.
[Editor Rob: if she wants 5ft 11 as her height she can have it.]

Rob why does it sound like you take bias on her height? 😂😂
Editor Rob: no, she did pretty much look more 5ft 11, hence listed at her claim.

Did you see her at a convention? She does look very tall for a woman in googling her, I'd imagine very pretty in person too.
Editor Rob
just talking about in the past, seeing more of her, I think she looked her claim, I only ever saw famke, and she is arguably not quite 5ft 11.5 herself.
Mimi said on 31/Aug/17
Editor Rob: no, she did pretty much look more 5ft 11, hence listed at her claim.

Yeah but sometimes she also looks taller than Famke Janssen who I believe is supposed to measure taller.

I remember she was listed at 5ft10.5 a few years back. Didn't see any reason to be upgraded to a full 5ft11.
Junior said on 15/Aug/17
I took more look on her with her husband Jerry. I can see 180cm and 190cm couples together when they stand next to each other and i will re-vote 5'11 for Rebecca and Jerry is no way only 6'2 more like a flat 6'3 not under 190cm.
Junior said on 14/Aug/17
No way she is only 5'9 this low like ana said. There must camera angle that fool her being shorter. Rebecca look at least 5'10.5 to me, 5'11 maybe slightly pushing it. 5'10.75" its a safe bet.
Nik said on 23/Jul/17
I agree with even, she is 5'11" straight out of bed!
ana said on 22/Jul/17
1.75 shorter than tyra 1.78

shes five foot eleven but straight out of bed .
Sarah said on 23/Apr/17
Close to 1.80!

I think she is a solid 5 ft 11
Allie said on 1/Nov/16
Bammer, actually I remember several models in the 90s whose height would flucuate, sometimes 5'10, other days 5'11. Never over 6'0, that always seldom but I still remember model comp cards with different heights.
Bammer said on 21/Sep/16
@ Allie.

In Rebecca's heydays on the runways (back in the early nineties) the ideal hight for a model was 5'8" to 5'10" max. so she was actually a bit too tall for modelling. Today it's another matter.
Barney said on 16/Aug/16
I was a banquet server at a record company party in 1997. I think it was Arista. Anyway, I was walking around the room with trays of hor d'oeuvres and offering them to the guests which of course included many celebrities. Rebecca was there and was still relatively unknown at that time. I remember going up to her while she was talking to someone and offering the tray-I'm 5 11.5 and we were eye to eye. She must have been wearing a slight heel. She looked me in the eye and smiled which is so not normal for celebrities. She locked eyes with me just long enough that I could tell she was just as excited as I was to be in the company of all these celebrities! In that instant I could see into her soul and see the nicest, most down to earth person you'd ever have the pleasure of knowing. My God she was so absolutely stunning and beautiful. Probably the most beautiful woman I have ever seen -and I've seen my share of beauties. Wow. Haven't thought about that moment in 20 years...anyway yeah- I'd expect her to be honest and based on my experience 5'11 is correct!
randja said on 19/Jul/16
who care how tall she is , she is still a hottie
Allie said on 4/Nov/15
It's actually pretty common for 5'10 models to be bumped up to 5'11 if they build up a career and popularity. I thought 5'10 was ideal though.. Guess they want taller and thinner nowadays.
Bryan said on 24/Oct/15
179cm, looks very similar to Tom Jane
Allie said on 6/Oct/15
She looks almost an inch shorter than Famke iirc. So 179. There is no way that there's a full 1 inch between her and Tyra Banks.
Bishop said on 18/Apr/15
I've observed pics of her with Stamos, and I don't think she's really any taller than him. The previous 179 cm was better.
Judd said on 28/Jan/15
I think she's 5'10.5" and one of the most beautiful actress in Hollywood!

Rob I don't see a lot of 5 ft 11 girls on this site. When I go out, I see a lot of tall girls more than 5 ft 11 than on here, but I also see a lot more girls like 5 foot than on here. This site seems to have girls mostly 5 ft 6-7 range?
Editor Rob
probably about 20 or so in that range...there might be more yet to add to the site. I guess when you think of male equivalent like 6ft 5 then there is a lot more
Just said on 5/Dec/13
She's indeed 5'11. Famke is 1,82m, she said that in a Dutch interview years ago.
Len said on 24/Oct/13
She seems a legit 5'11". Just saw a ton of pics of her standing right next to 6'0" Aisha Tyler at a fashion show, and in nearly all of them Romijn seems to be only a hair shorter than Tyler.

5' 11.5" is a possibility.
G.bohemian said on 21/Sep/13
She is a strong 5 ft 10 she is a Little bit taller than Heidi Klum who is 5 ft 9

Is rebecca rob a weak 5 ft 11 or a legit
Lorne??? said on 13/Aug/13
If Jon Tenney(on Kingwell and Max) is 185cm as listed, then the original 179cm listing might be closer.
Maor said on 2/Aug/13
She's 40 now and might drop down to 179cm as her years goes bye. But yes a solid 5'11 is good for her! She's very beautiful aswell and great in X-men!
Len said on 22/Jul/13
@wael – You are behind the times... Romijn has been married to 6'2" Jerry O'Connell for six years now. I assume you were referring to John Stamos, who indeed is nowhere near 180cm.
Byron T. said on 5/May/13
She was barefoot in the X-Men films and barely smaller than Ian McKellen wearing boots. 5'11'' is a good estimate.
Aragorn 5'11 said on 24/Dec/12
Rob, is she she taller or the same height as Famke Jannsen?
Editor Rob
she looks a little shorter I believe
J.Lee said on 15/Dec/12
Rob if she and Brooke shields measured who would win
Editor Rob
they might be very close
wael said on 19/Nov/12
1.78 cm is her exact heaight it is very logical since she is not taller than here husband who is not 180 at all
Silent d said on 7/Oct/12
Rebecca is 180cm and famke is around the same height or slightly taller.
J.Lee said on 3/Aug/12
Rob do you think she could be about 6 foot in the morning?
Editor Rob
near it is possible
J.Lee said on 15/Jun/12
Rob i notice not too many girls are 5 foot 11 on your site. Why is that? Rebecca is like in the top 1 percent of all girls heights on here, not very many girls much taller than rebecca.
J.Lee said on 13/Jun/12
Rob what happened to the 5 foot 10.5 that you had a long time? Something must have happened for you to suddenly change your mind.
Editor Rob
if she wants 5ft 11 as her height she can have it.
Silent d said on 23/Jan/12
180cm. Famke is 182cm.
steven said on 9/Jan/12
more like 5'9.75-5'10 range. she maybe 5'10.5 out of bed.
Silent d said on 24/Oct/11
Definately 180cm. She is tall.
Hansen said on 11/Aug/11
my irish friend liam said that his father who ever met famke janssen in real on the set of 1995 bond movie golden-eye that shes completely gorgeous at fame and stands about 5ft11 tall which liam dad was 6ft1 , he mention she can be 5ft11 but not more, so if famke was 5ft11 rebecca had a chance more like 5ft10 than near 5ft11.
Well said on 21/Nov/10
Rebecca R. is 183cm no doubt.She's very very tall!!!
the truth said on 7/Jun/09
this is redeculous that i cant find her listed taller then 5'11 anywhere online.. im looking for the truth here, ive never seen her NOT towering anyone she acts with, she was super tall on ugly betty & seen her on lies & alibies now & she was super tall on there, if shes really 5'10 then the entire cast of actors she works with including girls & guys are ALL way under 5'10 by ATLEAST 2 inches which makes EVERY guy to be specific really short, like 5'8 & BELOW! not possable bc most guys are taller then 5'8 & Eric Mabius [Daniel on Ugly Betty] is listed as 5'10 for HIS official hieght, which seems perfect for him AND the entire cast of actors that he works with.. can we PLEASE ANYONE make a more accurate GUESS ..atleast! i put her at NO LESS then 6'0 & my GUESS is way above that! my guess says 6'3 to 6'5!

BJ said on 3/May/09
hello YO, the thing is that im 5'10.5 barefeet and almost 6' in shoes so if u think alittle deeper that the shoes that girls wear have 'BIG' heels atleast 4inch. anyways rebecca is hot and has a nice height to but it must be in her heels of course.
Jlee said on 15/Jan/09
rob do u think she might be five eleven?
j said on 24/Dec/08
no i met rebecca im 5'10 and she was taller then me but she had no heels she was wearing sandals so she must of been 5'11 or 6ft
Alex said on 13/Dec/08
Look at this one with 5'11.5-6'0 Famke Janssen. Rebecca may be as low as 5'10 1/2. Rebecca is slightly shorter and she has on 3 inch heels while Famke looks to be in sandal type shoes.

Alex said on 13/Dec/08
5'11 is right. Famke Janssen I think would edge her out a little in height though. Were they in any shots together in X-Men?
anonymous said on 27/Nov/08
She looks 5 foot 11. Mandy moore is 5 foot 3 max. That picture is screwed up.
anonymous said on 22/Nov/08
She is tall, that mandy moore picture is inaccurate. No way is she short as mandy moore. Rebecca romijn towered over 17ocm antonio bandaras and in dennis pepper she is taller than 165cm lindsay price. She looks the same height as 180cm brooke shields. She is taller than average. Rebecca romijn is 180cm next to husband jerry oconnell who is 185cm. She used to be a fashion model. She is tall, just accept the fact that she is 180cm.
J.Lee said on 4/Nov/08
I was suprised. I thought she was tall. But MANDY MOORE is probably taller than Rebecca. Don't believe me? the link is too long so i have to give instructions how to find out. There are many pics where mandy is as tall or a little taller than Rebecca from many angles.they both are wearing heels. go to Click Here ok, now you must type exactly this: Rebecca Romijin Mandy Moore, and make sure to spell correctly and you will see what I am talking about. Mandy Moore is as tall or taller than Rebecca.
Kim said on 31/Oct/08
Eric Mebius is tiny and short . He is not much taller than Vanessa Williams. I'm 5'7" and when I met Vanessa Williams at a meet and greet and she had heels on and I didn't and she was not only way shorter than me but she was TINY all around. Actors and actresses tend to be short and lie about their height. Rebecca is a model and they are tall.
GSM said on 4/Oct/08
I saw her in Ugly Betty ....... She was way taller than ERIC MEIBUS...... she needed to look down.... She wasn't even wearing heels...
C. said on 20/May/08
She is not over 6' tall. Even she doesn't look THAT tall. 5'11" is spot on. Nothing more than that.
shaz said on 25/Apr/08
i think she's at least 5"11, she is tall but grils seem taller than boys
C. said on 4/Mar/08
I really don't think she's anything less than 5'11" to be honest.
Ali said on 3/Mar/08
she's very tall on ugly betty and is about the same height as alan dale
Albi said on 30/Jan/08
She was almost as tall as Ross in Friends 406. At most 3cm shorter. And she had no heels. Very, very thin shoes. Closer to 6' maybe?
voodoo doll said on 18/Nov/07
I always thought Rebeca was 6'0 since barefoot she towered over 5'10-6'0 Eric Mabius when bare foot. then I met her and she towerd over petite 4'8 me and in 2in heals was about a foot taller than my 5'2 friend.
njt said on 29/Sep/07
rebbeca is not taller than famke jannsen.

i have checked lots of photos, in scenes they are together. when you see rebbeca was taller then famke in a photo you must check shoes. in all of them rebbeca wore higher heels than famke.

here i am giving some photo examples. you can check.

Editor Rob
lots of comments with image links had to be deleted for a reason too long to go into.
Alex said on 24/May/07
Thats the problem with heels. You can have girls today and one girl may be in 3 inch heels while the other is in 4 which is going to make an inch difference. Rebecca I think could be a full 5'11.
anonymous1 said on 6/May/07
IS Rebecca really taller than Elle Macpherson? I think so. Even if I'm wrong, I don't think Elle is 183cm. In the SI video, I couldn't see a big difference btn Elle's and rebecca's height. Hopefully, someone can enlighten me. The EDITOR is welcomed as well.
Joe said on 6/Apr/07
I saw her in a pic with Famke Janssen, who is 5'10. Rebecca was about 3inches taller. She's at least 6' barefoot.

Editor Rob
you need to find pics of these 2 in identical heels. At some events romijohn wears near 3 inches, whilst famke is in barely 1cm type shoe!

Rebecca was again on Ugly Betty and this time she was barefoot and she still towered over the supposedly six foot Eric Mabius.
Anonymous said on 2/Feb/07
Omg, she towered over all the men on the show! It was a bit freaky. But still really amazing. She's defintely 5 10.5 barefoot!

Rebecca guest starred on last night's episode of "Ugly Betty", and wearing heels she towered over 6'0" Eric Mabius.

I dutch and met her 5 yrs ago. I'm 6'4" and she was about 2-3 inches shorter, but she had heels on so I gues shes 5'10"

At most pics I've seen Rebecca actually seems taller than Famke Janssen. Can't explain this two.

Rob, do you think Rebecca is taller than Nicole Kidman? I don't think so. Rebecca is 5'10.25" or 5'10.5" max.
Rocky said on 25/Sep/06
Guys, first of all, it's impossible to tell from pictures unless there's a significant difference in heights (4 inches or +) because of unlevel ground, heel length, slouching (not just in the back, but also in the legs, hips, feet).

Furthermore, even suppose that all of the above are 100% accounted for, 1 inch is FAR FAR FAR too little to be determined by looking at photos because you then have to account for camera angles. No offense, but for those reasons, I find the post below me that says "I calculated Ms. Romijn to be 5'9.25'' to be absolutely hilarious with the 0.25'' remark.

Last but not least, there's little reason for a woman who is 5'10'' to lie and say 5'11'' - that's like a guy who's 6'4'' saying he's 6'5'' - there's nothing to gain...I could somewhat understand it if a man is 5'6'' and wants to appear somewhat average by saying 5'8''.
Tall-PD said on 19/Jul/06
Ok I just did some scientific calculations from the pic with Dr.Dre & M.M. By measuring the mics(10inch) and the letters of Dre's shirt (2.5 inch) and several other calculations to offset the picture angles. I calculated Ms.Romijn to be 5'9.25" feet (175.9cm). Dre to be 5"11 but slouching (also not in the same plane as Rebecca...darn optics) M.M is 5'8.5" (same deal). These are not exact but I'm only off by plus or minus a half inch (0.5") for Rebecca. Over all pictures are the worst way to compare heights due to the effect 2D pics cause. (objects closer appear bigger than objects farther away from the camera)
bikagyura said on 27/Jun/06
next to her supposedly 6' 2½ tall fiancée (or whatever they are together now :P), she looks taller than that a lot of the time... might be high heels..
ds said on 24/Feb/06
Isn't she always marked a 5'10", even on her official site I think. I'm not arguing seeing as I never really compared her to others I'm just asking why they would round down. I think 179 then...
Stretch said on 19/Feb/06
To echo the SI post by heightfan, watching the SI video Rebecca is definately a bit taller than Elle Mcpherson who has always been listed as 6'. I believe there is a tendency for tall model-turn-actresses to actually list their height shorter in order to work in Hollywood which has plenty of short leading men.
TNTinCA said on 15/Feb/06
I actually think Rebecca is closer to 5'10". In the scenes in The Punisher with Thomas Jane, when she was flat footed and he was in boots, there was about a 2 inch difference. Now I know those boots were large, but could they honestly have had a lift of more than 2 inches? So if Thomas Jane is 5'10" flat footed (6 foot with the boots), I would say Rebecca is 5'10" or perhaps a little above it.
heightfan said on 14/Feb/06
Check out the cover of SI swimsuit issue. She is the tallest of the bunch, inclunding Elle Mcpherson.
Anshelm said on 27/Dec/05
People are saying she's taller than Charlize Theron but shorter than Famke Janssen... I think her original mark of 5'10"/178 cm is starting to sound just about right. And this supports A-Bomb's point, of course.

IMO height guesstimates should be done with minimal adjustments to official marks, meaning that (for example) adjusting just Romain's height, rather than both Theron's and Janssen's, has more justification.

Didn't she drop the name of Stamos a while ago?
McFan said on 26/Jul/05
She's definitely taller than Greg Kinnear. They tried to make him taller than her in a few shots early on, but you can clearly see she's an inch taller than him.
jorge said on 17/Jul/05
Rebecca is exactly 5'10.75
Anshelm said on 14/Jul/05
When I first checked her height, most web sources said 5'10". Nowadays 5'11" seems to be the popular choise, but with 5'10" there's no problem with Famke.

Heights are barefeet estimates, derived from quotations, official websites, agency resumes, in person encounters with actors at conventions and pictures/films.
