I see him as a solid 175cm guy, average guess is very surprising as I have never seen him tall as 5'10".

I think he could be 177cm when anyone measured him. 178cm too high.

I'm suprised the average guess is slightly over 5'10. He's never looked that tall imo. 5'9.5 is right.

In the Alan Partridge meeting with Mick Huckenall there was very little difference between them and the simply Red singer is about 5 11.

5' 9.75" is a bit too generous
Somewhere between 5'9" and 5'9.5"
Here he is with his GF Elle Basey, who claims 5'7" (pretty accurate when you compare her to other models such as Holly Peers and Emma Frain).
In this pic, he looks he's got a bit over 2" on her

5'9.75 is a fraction too high
5'8 is definitely too low
5'9 or 5'9.5 is the best for him
Usually looks about 2 inches shorter than legit 5'11 actors

Rob, since there was an entire scene in Curb your enthusiasm as mentioned below, questioning his height, it definitely wouldn't be for a quarter of an inch don't you think?? Also, have you seen the movie Night at the Museum 2? There are some pretty good shots of Owen Wilson and Coogan showing more than a 2 cm difference. You should check it out yourself, please consider this.

I think this is a better fit than a full 5'10" listing for Coogan.

Yeah they change the camera angle to make him look smaller for the purpose of the joke, and you can tell he is slumping a bit when they stand up, but they're actually pretty close.

@Editor Rob: I recon it would look more than just 1.5in between them, if the shot was straight. But it's not impossible that the likely, slight footwear advantage of David could make it a 1.5-1.75in difference if measured barefoot. 5'9 flat has been my estimate for Coogan, but I guess 5'9.25 - 5'9.5 isn't ruled out. Either way, the 5'9.75 is a bit much for him imo.

@Editor Rob: You should have a look at that prison-scene with Coogan and Larry David on Curb Your Enthusiasm. It quite simply looks like way more than a 1.25in difference. Footwear is unknown though. Coogan was possibly in those blue prison-converse-style shoes and David in flat/regular sneakers like he usually wears on the show.

I think he looks like a 5-10 barefeet guy in 1 inch heels. If in shoes he would stand in front of a scale, he would touch the 5-11 mark. Without standing extremely straight either. Now whatever that makes him to be!

Referring to the Curb Your Enthusiasm episode, Larry David challenged Steve Coogan on his claim that he is 5'10" tall, and Steve Coogan quickly backed down by saying, "Well, in the heel" [meaning with shoes on]. The "in the heel" statement would be an admission that he is only 5'10" tall in shod feet, i.e., with shoes on or "in the heel."

He claims his height as 5'10 on Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Larry David says he's not that tall. Coogan (or his character, anyway) admits he may be a little shorter than 5'10.

He is nowhere near that tall..but then with an ego as big as coogans you can understand why he's lying. When I met him i'd say 5' 8" absolute maximum!

Looks 5'10" though nobody has measured him so his definitive height really isn't definitive. If he looks 5'10" give or take a 1/4 inch it is such a fragment he may as well be listed 5'10" as you can't surely tell that 1/4 inch without measuring (bearing in mind shoes, time of day as variants etc.). I am 5'9.8" average (over 3 measurements) as anonymous mention. So hell thats 5'10". Like someone 5'11.88" is basically 6 foot. just my 2 cents

Coogan looks rather slight compared to Chris Morris in the episode of I'm Alan Partridge they're in together. I can't tell whether Morris is extremely tall or just surrounds himself with fairly short people (he seems to dwarf Armando Iannucci). A photo of Morris standing with Will Self (who's 6'6" I think) would be ideal to sort this out.

Personally, I tell people I am 5'10" but out of curiosity I measured three times in a day as you are supposed to - very accurately. Morning 5'10.2" During Day 5'9.8" and Before Bed 5'9.6" which averages 5'9.86". So how would I be listed on here, and how is Steve listed if you get my general drift.
I think that your height measurements must be almost identical to what Coogan would be measured at over the day.

Saw him recently and he did look about 5'10 in normal trainers. The listing here could well be exactly right at 177cm.

I think he looks about 5'10" from photos I've seen of him next to other tall and short celebrities (some mentioned in these comments). However, if he is 5'9.75" is that the height you (Rob) think he is on average, or at tallest or what?

I'd say he's just shy of 5'9", honestly.. he stood by my 5'7" friend at a Hamlet 2 screening and there wasn't much more than 1.5" of a height difference.

he may have been shorter to begin with, he is a big fan of the Alexander technique which can add a bit if you have a bad posture.
