Rob do you think that 6'7 on point out of bed is a good guess for him?
Editor Rob
A very good chance he's at least that out of bed.

Rob, estimations on Emiliano Martinez'z height? I do think he could be a solid 6'4 guy. He did look close to 2 inches taller than Luuk De Jong who i think is 6'2 1/4-6'2 1/2 range (189) range and looked around 6 inches (15cms) taller than Mbappe. 193-194 imo
Editor Rob
When you see him with Messi, I'd rule out 6ft 5 and say 6ft 4 looked nearer.
Allie said on 27/Feb/23
198-199 cm.

IMO, he looks pretty well proportioned except for his head. I knew he was tall, but didn't guess him being just under 2 M until I saw more photos of him with others.

Rob, he claimed to be exactly 2.00 m tall in an interview. The interviewer said his height is 1.99m and he corrects him and claimed to be 2m tall. He said that he was measured at Real Madrid, and after a while without been measured he is now 2.00m tall.

Do you think he can look an almost 6ft7 guy?

Here is the interview. Its in Spaniish, but is simple to understand.

6ft 6.5 is arguable, but almost 6ft 7 I'm not sure.

199-200cm guy

How tall his girlfriend? She claimes 5'9
Hyper said on 20/Dec/22
Rob, how would this guy compare with Dennis Rodman?

I feel like they could be the same height of 6’6 3/8”, but I could be wrong.

@Vp
I think from the far, with his quite slender build, he's gonna appeared gigantic but i wouldn't guess this dude any taller than Mertesacker
Vp said on 7/Sep/22
He is from my hometown in Belgium. Seen him more than once in the streets. Easily 199cm if not 200cm
185.4cm said on 1/Aug/22
Easily the best goalkeeper in the world right now, god knows how many records he broke in the recent UCL campaign. Standing at 198-199cm, he is the wall of Madrid.
Oxsj said on 29/May/22
6'6 1/2
Hyper said on 25/May/22
@Canson

He’s certainly more entitled to have it than say Rob Gronk!
Canson said on 16/Mar/22
I think this is an easy lunchtime measurement. Not sure it’s at a low however
Hyper said on 16/Mar/22
Rob, what made you go with the upgrade? I agree with it though! He beat Anthony Joshua in height.
Editor Rob
I think he was due a fraction over 6ft 6.

He’s listed 200 cm on google
Canson said on 28/Jan/22
@Daniel Lee: I think he would be the full 6’7 out of bed and dips to 6’6” afternoon. He looks too tall to be under 6’6”. He may be 6’6 3/8 or 6’6.5 at the time of a medical
Daniel Lee said on 26/Jan/22
@Rob how many height loss a 6'6 guy? I think 1 inch. Right?
Editor Rob
A greater chance you might shrink a full inch at that range.
Daniel Lee said on 26/Jan/22
Pretty close to 6'7 out of bed
Hair over 6'6 at noon
Pretty close to 6'6 at night
Finalbeta said on 1/Jan/22
@Rob You think the 199 listing was early morning and the Real Madrid 200 one either a flawed one or took right out of bed? I quite doubt he grew any taller.

I personally see Courtois a guy heading to 198 at a low, maybe he truly is a 200 guy out of bed regardless.
Editor Rob
It could have been almost 199 and rounded off to that mark.
Andrey200 said on 23/Dec/21

198-199 range for courtois similar to carmelo.
Robbe said on 10/Sep/21
6'7 with Joshua Click Here
Obsidian 6'2" said on 4/Sep/21
Tall guy. 199 is definitely plausible.
Hyper said on 3/Sep/21
@JD1996

Certainly taller than Joshua, for sure. I would advise an upgrade to 6’6.25” for this guy. However, even 6’6.5” can be argued. The 1.99 meters sounds like a measurement, to be honest.
JD1996 said on 3/Sep/21
If anthony Joshua come down to say 6’5 5/8-3/4 at his low then around 6’6 3/8-1/2 range is very believable for Thibaut Imo as it looks almost an inch difference or an Inch in Thibauts best case.
recapa said on 2/Sep/21
198-199 range just like carmelo.
Hyper said on 26/Aug/21
@Zutkil

Not sure about 200 cm, but 199 cm is certainly something I believe.
Hyper said on 26/Aug/21
After seeing that photo with him and Anthony Joshua, I can safely say this guy should be listed 6’6.25”.
Zutkil said on 25/Aug/21
He's definitely at least 199 cm, he has a chance for weak 200 cm
Canson said on 18/Aug/21
@Hyper: yea Gronk and AJ look about the same imho
Hyper said on 16/Aug/21
@Canson

He’s definitely taller than Rob Gronk. Granted, he does look a strong 6’6”, but I’m really surprised he is taller than Anthony Joshua, despite AJ having a higher eye-level.
Canson said on 15/Aug/21
He looks 6’6.25 often but rib has the pic below where he looks 6’6. In all likelihood maybe he’s between the two. But He’s def not under 6’6.
Canson said on 15/Aug/21
@Hyper: definitely proportionately. He may edge him but not sure what Joshua ends the day at. He may just be 197 cm whereas Courtois is just over or right at 6’6”. I could see 6’6.25 tho
Hyper said on 13/Aug/21
@Rob

Maybe upgrade this guy, over 6’6”. He really looks taller than Anthony Joshua.
Hyper said on 13/Aug/21
Oh s$!t, he does look taller than Anthony Joshua. Click Here
Hyper said on 13/Aug/21
@JD1996 were there pictures of them, together?
JD1996 said on 20/Jul/21
He looks 2 cm taller than Anthony Joshua so he should be 199 cm rather than 198 cm IMO
Zutkil said on 19/Jul/21
A solid 199 cm
Canson said on 5/Jul/21
He has 6’6 proportions. Possible he doesn’t even come down all the way to 6’6”. May even be 6’6 1/8-1/4 range. Definitely a good enough example of what a 6’6 guy should look like
185vietnamese said on 28/May/21
@recapa
I think this dude is around Carmello and Van Der Sar range while Mertesacker is a bit taller and close to Lebron range. Mertesacker looks taller than Carmelo in a picture and would be interesting to see him with Lebron in close looks.

6ft6.25 carmelo next to 183-183.5cm benzema Click Here and courtois next to benzema Click Here .look pretty identical to me .my verdict that courtois is a very legit 6ft6 guy and could be even a hair above it.198-198.5cm range.
recapa said on 2/Mar/21
@Rob,assuming thibaut is a legit 6ft6 if not a touch over.how tall does his brother looks to you.Click Here

nearly 6ft 5

RJT said on 10/Dec/20
He needs an upgrade to 6'6.25" at least

Even the metric said he's 199cm.
RJT said on 8/Dec/20
@Editor Rob

If he's 199cm shouldn't he get 6'6.25" or even 6'6.5"?

Guess they just round down from metric conversion.

This guy looks strong 6'6.
Editor Rob
there is a case for 6ft 6.25
recapa said on 28/Oct/20
@Elias, yeah i think that he defenitly is around that height range similar to melo 6ft6.25
Elias said on 20/Oct/20
@Mike Sui
The difference between Courtois and Piqué is clearly much more than 2 cms. Look at that pic: Click Here
The difference shown on this pic is more than 2 inches (greater than 5 cms). Courtois looks between 6ft 6 and 6ft 7 here
recapa said on 19/Oct/20
6,6.25 i feel like he is a little underlisted
Mike Sui said on 6/Oct/20
He looked 2cms taller then Piqué when they shook hands.

How tall is Fraser Forster ? He's listed at 2.01 m, but in these pics Courtois and him looked same height

Editor Rob
Forster does generally look near 6ft 7, you can see him to the right of Majstorovic who I met.

@Rob
Also about the last video , don't you think Idris Elba is loooking suspicious very tall beside 2 guys who are supposed to be almost 4 inches taller than him ??
Editor Rob
He was looking near 6ft 3
184guy2 said on 5/Mar/20
@Rob
Van der Sar is listed 197cm on google but could he be 6'6 or just over ??
Click Here
He looks no shorter than Tibo
Editor Rob
Both look very similar height.
Emil said on 2/Feb/20
@Rob
How much would he measure out of bed? A tad over 6'7?
Editor Rob
I could see it as being possible
Canson said on 31/Jan/20
@184guy: I agree. He slouched with steph curry and still looked 6’6”. I could agree with junior but that may possibly be an extreme low not a normal one. In fact extreme low in the sense that a guy that size could possibly have a lower variance with an extreme low than someone smaller. He could very well not even hit 6’6” flat on a normal day
Canson said on 31/Jan/20

@Chris Hernandez
There is ZERO chance Courtois deeps to 6'5.75 It's like saying Bo Burnham could deep 6'5
Well , at least afther run a marathon may be possible
Dom5'11.5 said on 4/Dec/19
His absolute lowest should be 198.8cm, other than that he is a full 199cm most of the time
khaled taban said on 28/Nov/19
Hi @Rob , I want your opinion on this picture :
Click Here , I guess his father is 6'3" at most and his mother could be 5'9" range. Do you agree ??
Editor Rob
Yeah his Father peak could have been 6ft 3-3.5 and Mother 5ft 8.5-9 possible...you can see he had the genes to achieve a very tall height.
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 14/Oct/19
I estimated the worst lowest measurement for Thibaut is 6'5.75" wouldn't guess a flat 6'5.5" still 1/8 edging me.
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 1/Aug/19
Thibaut weight was listed at 96kg. I could buy anywhere 88-90kg don't see him that heavy.
JD1996 said on 15/Mar/19
I really think he's 6'6.5" instead of a flat 6'6" to be honest.
NJNYC said on 7/Mar/19
He looks much taller than the 6'3" listed Rafael Varane. At least 4-5in taller.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 19/Dec/18
Can look 199-200cm range a lot. A bit over this I think. Guys like Crouch or Courtois tend to downplay it.
JD1996 said on 5/Dec/18
About 199 cm tall
Canson said on 4/Nov/18
He’s slouching with Curry and still looks a legit 6’6” guy

IRememberWhenRockWasYoung said on 4/Sep/18
Would his head be in the 9.5 inch range?
khaled taban said on 27/Aug/18
Rob , Do you think that Courtois look 200cm sometimes ? I think 199cm is the lowest.
Editor Rob
He can sometimes look as tall as 2 metres.
ShadyAF said on 30/Jul/18
I'd have Courtois at 199 instead of 198 but close enough
Robbe said on 24/Jul/18
Actually Courtois looks a good 2in taller than Daniel van Buyten.

Click Here

It's better to compare Courtois and 6'3 Romelu Lukaku in that picture, they are standing side by side, and Courtois is easily 4in taller. So 198cm is definitely too low for Courtois.

Courtois and Lukaku here, Courtois always 4in taller.

Thibaut Courtois said on 21/Jul/18
He's a legit 6'6.5". Just compare him to to Daniel van Buyten ('Big Dan') who's listed as 6'5.5" (197 cm). There's clearly a full inch between the two of them.
Click Here
Canson said on 11/Jul/18
The more pics I see I would give him a solid 6’6”. He would measure the 199cm in the morning however and maybe 200 or so out of bed. People forget that Steph Curry measured the 6’2” in the morning and would be around 6’1.5 in the afternoon. Celebheights is not based on morning heights though and if Rob were to meet Curry there’s over a 90% chance that Curry would be down to at least 6’1.75 (Rob won’t always give a 6’1.5 at a low that he may give them 1/4” more if they appear weak to keep from downgrading) if not 6’1.5
189Night said on 11/Jul/18
Rob, would you consider adding John stones, Listed 188 but not to sure on this because he can seem this height but then can also seem below it.
Canson said on 11/Jul/18
Viper: Duhon is right. that’s about how he should look next to a guy who is 7 feet tall. He looks a legit 6’6” with him
Zahid said on 11/Jul/18
Always roughly 1-1.25" taller than Cech:

Bare minimum 6'6 and likely closer to 6'6.5.

he looks 199cm to me
Duhon said on 9/Jul/18
viper said on 8/Jul/18
That is just crazy how short Embiid makes him look

Embiid is a strong 7'er. It's the reason by NBA standards a lot of people do think he's 7'2" because he's taller than a lot NBA players listed at 7' but who are not really.
Robbe said on 9/Jul/18
It's very hard to judge anybodys height if there's more than two persons in the pic. Here's a good example. Tyson Fury and Mariuz Wach are pretty much the same height, yet Wach dwarfs Tyson in this pic.

Click Here


Here's the Joshua picture again. Courtois is not even standing straight there, yet he edges Joshua out at least by an inch Click Here

So it's really hard to believe the 6mm difference between these gentlemen. But hey, anything is possible..
Nik said on 9/Jul/18
It is great to find out his exact height!
viper said on 8/Jul/18
That is just crazy how short Embiid makes him look
Rory said on 8/Jul/18
Lol that picture makes Nadal look around 6ft3 with Courtois.
Canson said on 8/Jul/18
Like 184guy said he can look 6’6.5 as well but at the same time 6’6 with Joel Embiid and with Murray like Rob pointed out. Not sure what went on with the pic with AJ maybe a camera angle
Canson said on 8/Jul/18
@Curry: steph curry measured at or around 6’2” early in the morning (keep in mind the NBA doesn’t do 1/8” so he may just be 6’1 7/8). He’s around 6’1.5 at his afternoon height. If the two stood straight in that pic it’s going to exceed 4” maybe closer to 5”

Click Here
Canson said on 8/Jul/18
@184guy: yea I agree he does look more Like 6’6.5. AJ May only be 6’5.5 at a low but I can’t see any less than that for him
Robbe said on 8/Jul/18
There's no way Courtois is only 0,6mm taller than Joshua. Like 184guy2 said he is visible taller. Here Courtois with 196cm listed Petr Cech.

Click Here

I would say 199cm is absolutely lowest for Courtois. 200cm is not ruled out.
Editor Rob
Maybe his head is closer than Joshua, I wouldn't say he looked 200cm, see him with Andy Murray.
Myself said on 7/Jul/18
Hey Rob, where would i be looking at him? (6'3 5/8-6/8)
I think his neck looks pretty long, maybe our shoulder level won't be much different.
Editor Rob
He doesn't have a huge head, so maybe near his mouth.
184guy2 said on 7/Jul/18
6'6.5 looks closer
Visible taller than AJ
Very good keeper
Curry said on 7/Jul/18
Curry is 1,90 if Courtois is 1,98
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 7/Jul/18
Joel Embiid look near 7'0 with Thibaut.
Editor Rob
Joel claimed 7ft 2, although he doesn't seem that tall.
Thejoker377 said on 7/Jul/18
Rob,how tall is Pickford? A estimate

Fifa says 6'1
Editor Rob
Well Thibaut said he was 15cm taller than Jordan...who is at best 6ft 1
Nik said on 7/Jul/18
He was quoted to be 6'7" during the match yesterday! He is a great goalkeeper who had to have a page!
