Nothing to add Andrea

Exactly, Justin said tom is taller than him! He saw him for years and he's better judge than us! i saw a backstage video and tom clearly had him by about an inch! I saw an interview of Allison Mack and she said that tom is the tallest young actor in all Hollywood! Maio if you say he's 6'2 that shows how bad you are at judging heights! Anything under 190 for tom is fantasy :)
Patrick said on 14/Dec/11
Sony, never, ever Oliver looks taller than Clark; just the opposite. I have watched - and still do - SV so many times now on DVD, that i can assure you that it is never the case. I agree with you about his "father". Many shots of Tom are "special": most of the interior ones, he wears slippers and very often most of those being less than 6'2 or so, are, in close-ups, on an "apple box". John Schneider doesn't need such a trick for being very tall himself but he often played beside Tom wearing shoes while Tom has sleepers on.
Maio, you need to reactivate some good sense. If Tom was 6'2 what about all the others? Many of the SV stars used to play along with notably tall actors as Glover and D'Onofrio, thence a valid comparability. As for Marsters, legitimately gauged 5'9 by Rob, he would have to be much shorter than that. Andrea, in the first pic, Tom WEARS SHOES while Michael does NOT. On the other photo, JTT is effectively a bit slouching by pushing the trolley but seems a tad closer to the camera. Whatever, thanks for the pic because there is a foot between them with no discussion possible. BTW, "Hi! Yaspaa"!
Yaspaa said on 13/Dec/11
Oliver doesn't always look taller, it chops and changes.

Tom Welling is 6 ft 2 in/188 cm.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 11/Dec/11
Rob, be honest here:

you got jonathan taylor thomas, that you listed at 5'5, and he looks a full foot shorter than tom! tom really looks no less than 6'5 here (obviously i dont think he's that tall, but surely no less than 6'3)!
and here: Click Here
clark and lex, i see no less than 11-12 cm! you listed mike at 181, so tom should be around 6'4! i'm quite sure he's in the 6'3-6'4 range that is where people start to look very tall (and what all people that worked with him, day by day, always said)! according to will smith's style, he should be listed at least at 6'4 here.
Editor Rob
in that still he does look near a foot bigger, although maybe jonathan is pushing the trolley and losing height?
Sony21 said on 10/Dec/11
I'am confused, in most scene of smallville clark looks same height or a bit taller than jonathan, but oliver always looks taller than clark
In this site Tom 6'2.75", John 6'3" and Justin 6'2.25"
Patrick said on 8/Dec/11
I agree with Andrea 100% and would say, Rob...are-you positively sure Tom is shorter than Jared or is it based essentially on the CW TV Show which has never convinced me as undoubtedly proof. That then puzzled me but no more than so many movies with actors looking taller in the same scene, without any cut, than another one known as actually the tallest. So, that long shot is not a proof. In other pictures, Tom and Jared look about the same but no one is ever standing upright. Hugh, I follow you but still get the opposite conclusion by repeating the experience many times and even according to your instructions. Shaun, about what Jack meant in saying "gigantic", he just insisted how very tall Tom was for a "normal person"; those you are mentioning are gigantic because from 6'8, whether you genetically are or not...you are a giant! Great Khali and Big Show are so and the latter has to follow a special medical treatment against acromegaly which did not do Khali and, that is clearly visible. Even Kane is not "normal" without being completely defined as a giant; look at his complexion, his face. Chances are someday, he would have to get some treatment too if it is not already the case.
Shaun said on 7/Dec/11
@Jack

"asbolutely gigantic". I gather you've never seen Great Khali, Big Show or Yao Ming?
Shaun said on 7/Dec/11
14 US big for a 6'1" guy? I wear a UK 11 (US 12) and even then my feet actually measure a UK 10.5 on the machine. A US 14 would be normal for a 6'5" or 6'6" guy. Odd but I never got a "gigantic" impression from Welling. In fact I had no idea he was even this tall because a lot of his co stars are also very tall.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 7/Dec/11
Rob, answer this question and be sincere: are you 100% sure tom doesnt reach 6'3 (and im not saying in the morning cause that's sure)? why did you list geoff stults at 6'2.5 even if he said 6'2? that's the same thing with tom! its possible he mismeasured himself or measured himself at 18 and thought he didnt grow while he actually did! i mean: there are too many pics that show him at over 6'3! if jensen ackles is really 6'0, tom is at least 6'3.25-6'3.5! he towers over James Marsters and you said he's 5'9 (that's not only 15 cms of difference and he has shoe disadvantage!)! And why most of people that work with him for years all claim he's 6'4 or 6'5? Well i think 6'5 is impossible for him (even if he could be in shoes). But anything less than 6'3 sounds impossible too!
Editor Rob
I have seen Jared up close and he looks a 6ft 4 guy, and he's taller than Tom, so I can't see a 6ft 4 Tom. I go with the 'almost' 6ft 3 as I believe he did measure almost 6ft 3 and was honest about it.
Hugh said on 7/Dec/11
Hey Patrick, you know, I've done the opposite reasoning: because of camera tilt and simply because of the bidimensional projection of a real 3D scene, Tom must look taller than he really is. Every object nearer to the objective is projected bigger than it really is, this is a basic concept in 3D projection, and it is obvious to everyone. Tom could appear shorter only if the camera was in a higher position than the subjects, but in such case his feet had to be projected under the others feet. And this is not the case.
Thus Tom is at most as tall as Justin Hartley and Alan Ritchson. But if we look carefully we can see Alan is wearing a very thin sole, Tom is in his boots and Justin is wearing boots too, giving them a height boost. This is a clear proof, my dear, he can't definitely be taller than Justin and Alan.

Yaspaa! You're alive, mute but alive; good to read you anyway. Jack you say what people I met in 2008 told me on the set, word by word but mentioning "6'5" which sounds effectively "optimistic" unless taking into account shoes as says Andrea. As for the pic, I always said that it was not tricky but in the background. I amused myself taking three figures perfectly alike in height and positioned them exactly like on that picture. I then watched them according to the same angle and guess what? Drawing a virtual line thanks to a ruler, the two behind "the middle one" appeared way taller, the line passing far above the "middle head", and they were exactly the same height. Anyone can enjoy repeating it. That means that the one being the most forward looks smaller because of perspective rules. Yet, though visibly ahead – watch their position and where their feet respectively are, not to mention they inevitably put Clark first as their leader – Tom looks at least as tall and even taller than the others who are significantly tall themselves anyway. If he were the same height, he would have appeared visibly shorter. Whether you consider that far fetched or not, that is not me who put this picture here and the rest belongs to physic. The pic is clear and neat unlike the long shot of CW show with Jared and Jensen.
Yaspaa said on 5/Dec/11
6'5 may be a tad optimistic. :D

ANDREA[ITA] said on 5/Dec/11
6'5 is actually too much for him! If you mean in shoes, thats not impossible! I think hes taller than 190 flat! Geoff stults claimed 6'2 and rob listed him at 189, and also said he could be 6'3! This shows his unobjectivity!
Jack said on 3/Dec/11
Tom is at least 6'5, I've met him and he is asbolutely gigantic compared to what you people are talking about. The guy was at least 8 inches taller than me, and I am around 5'9
Patrick said on 3/Dec/11
Nobody, NO ONE can be in any way gauged, evaluated and measured regarding his geight, according to his hands or feet size. People can have huge hands and relatively small feet as John Wayne or just the contrary..as a friend of mine that nobody here knows! Tom has very big and thick and strong palmed hands and obviously the same as for his feet but it's not there that i base my conclusions on about his height; I just do it by using my eyes and adds, after that, commments from those who know him or worked with him. That's it.
Henrik said on 28/Nov/11
14US shoe size is big for a 6'1", and even a 6'3", guy if you'd ask me. Most who are 6'1"-6'3" that I know tend to wear between 10-12US (and 12US is already the start of the huge feet category). I even know a 6'6" who wears 11US. 13-14US shoe sizes here (in Sweden) are to my experience quite uncommon to wear, and you'll usually get remarks from people if you tell them that you have THAT HUGE feet. I take a 13US myself and I have occasionally been told that I have u-boats, not feet. They normally stop selling shoes in regular shops at 13US.
Patrick said on 24/Nov/11
Welcome back AAAA!Thanks for greeting me AAAA! Thanks also for so kind words which confer a human touch within this so nice site. I agree with you about the rightly done upgrade. What do you think about the "abandon" of the Metropolis project which sounds have never existed? Tom is as tall in 2012 as ten years ago and some people as blind as they then used to be.I miss funny and clever comments from you and those who still are missing as DaMan and Yaspaa! Arizona is very far from Paris and that's not an easy moving.
AAAA said on 23/Nov/11
Just saw Tom's upgrade. Haven't posted here in a few years, but I still drop in on occasion to see what everyone's got to say. I think I'd been pushing for a 6'2.75-6'3.25 (190-191) listing since 2005 or so, which makes this great to see. Nice to see the site still going stronger than ever. Also just wanted to say hi to everyone and most especially to Patrick, who I always had such great conversations with in the past. Enjoy Arizona, it's a long way from Paris.
Patrick said on 23/Nov/11
DaMan...I have just reopened this passionate site. You said on 13/Oct/11
"Wow, what happened to Patrick and Yaspaaa? With this discussion I'm not surprised they flew the coop". I feel very flattered DaMan...Because your opinion counts a lot to me. I hope so feels Yaspaa! I have been "out of business" for a while and I didn't find anything to argue I hadn't done already. I am about to live in Arizona and that's a long trip from Paris!
About Tom, I thank Rob to have upgraded Tom a bit. Thanks to the Andrea and Bob for their comments too. I re-watch the show for the beginning once more, and I notice always the same things I have repeated for years. Tom is any shorter than 6'3 but so is what "I" see.
How are you DaMan and you Yaspaa? What do you think about the false rumor of Metropolis as a series announced and then, withdrawn from Internet? I am sure that Bob and Andreata will agree with me to say it is too bad. I was personally very happy to know we all could meet up with Tom again soon as the man of steel, the "other", Cahill, being definitely not Superman. That would have enabled us to see the late Jimmy and Perry White again too!
I am very interested in your opinion about it!
Rich said on 21/Nov/11
Is probably just 6,3 as I'm about the same height.
Can usually tell if someone is in the similar height range.
Weighs prob 210-215 max. I work in a gym myself at 230lbs
looks like tom is slightly smaller than myself. Hartley will be
195lbs max, in better condition. Tom in season 4 at 200lbs,
had much better shape. Appearing taller in leaner condition.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 21/Nov/11
And Rob, have you seen Johnny Depp next to Tom? He looks so short!
ANDREA[ITA] said on 21/Nov/11
Rob, who's this guy?

he looks 2 inches shorter than tom... I think he's like 6'0.75... What do you think?

I have a friend of mine that is 198-199 and he wears only 13 shoe size...

Well Size 14 US shoes is UK Size 13 which would be common with 6'5"-6'6" blokes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't think so. I'm 6'1" and my foot length is 29.5 cm, and using wkipedia shoes size formulas, it is a 46.5 continental europe, and 13.8 US shoes size. I know lot of people who are my height and approx same foot and shoes size. I know may be it is not the average size, but it's not unusual.

Strange. Google image Gabriel Aubry and Bruce Willis. Aubry listed at 6'2" has 4 inches on him so you'd expect him to be near 6'3". Now google Aubry and Welling, Welling looks at least 2 inches taller. Very odd.

Rob how tall you think robert buckley is?
Editor Rob
I don't know yet
LAN Jiao said on 4/Nov/11
andrea, i agree on justin hartley build. he had the better shape compare welling. other guy in smallville a good shape had to go to alan ritchson his upper build looks awesome. ritchson is my target's to buck up his shape.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 3/Nov/11
Rob, how tall you think robert buckley is? he's listed at 6'2 and he actually looks 6'1 in photos!
ANDREA[ITA] said on 3/Nov/11
Lan, as for his physical, apart from being very tall, hes not so in shape! There was a period where he looked a bit fat! Justin hartley has a better shape and physical...
LAN Jiao said on 2/Nov/11
thanks Nil. did't notice he weigh 240 at large. thought 225 was his max. i envy his build, wish to gain more weights to buck up muscles..
ANDREA[ITA] said on 2/Nov/11
rob, how the hell tom looks so tall in this pic? He really looks 6'5, he's way and way taller than paul wesley and ian somerhalder... the guy next to him, in the background, shane west, who is listed at 5'11.25 looks 20 cms shorter... katy perry is under his shoulders!

i bet you gonna explain it by camera angle, huh?
ANDREA[ITA] said on 2/Nov/11
O yeah now tom is 6'1! Ahah around jensen ackles' height? Stop trolling mr bond! Jensen ackles is much shorter like 8-9 cms! See the vid and tell me what concept you have of around the same height... If you mean almost 10 cms, then they are very close in height, yeah!
Seliny19 said on 1/Nov/11
I would put Tom Welling around a 6'1 range. He seems a bit shorter then Jared Padalecki but not by much. But around the same height as Jensen Ackles. I know for sure that Ackles is at least 6'0 as I've met him before and i'm 5'4 and he was the same height as my friend who is 6'0. I haven't been right next to Tom but have seen him somewhat up close before and he didn't seem to be anything below 6'0.

Read it, it talks about how tall tom is and it shows pics :)
As i said, he wears sandals during scenes :)
Nils said on 1/Nov/11
Lan Jiao i've heard he weighs like 240
but dunno weights goes up and down always, i don't think he went under 220 after season 4~
LAN Jiao said on 31/Oct/11
im more curious about welling weight. his muscular physics hard to tell his weight, anyone did he weigh over 205 or 215?
Silent d said on 30/Oct/11
He always looked 190cm. I don't know who this my bond guy is but he is really annoying and he is offending people.
Legend said on 28/Oct/11
He's short in the Netherlands ;) hahahahahahahahahaha ehm...
LAN Jiao said on 28/Oct/11
be cool Mr Bond..i agree tom is 6'3(190) while standing tall. although the girls here wanted him up 6'4 or so i don know what to say.. you were right tom pull about 6'3.5 impression in sneakers added his small head makes him look taller to those fool..
ANDREA[ITA] said on 28/Oct/11
ahahahha mr bond you comment yourself! Me and Nils are different ppl, maybe it sounds strange to you that the others say you got some serious psycologic problems! :) ahhaahh all the comment with james marsters... You have a complicated mind! Sorry for you! Yeah tom is only 6'2.25 and you're taller than him! You have a great height! :)
ANDREA[ITA] said on 27/Oct/11
Yep you didnt show anything! Post photos (where you can see ground and foot) and well discuss about it as mature ppl!tom is described by everyone as huge, giant, he has 14 shoe size, very big hands, hes no less than 190! With jared is max 3 cms shorter, look at the vid i posted...
DejaVu said on 26/Oct/11
Jared is noticeably taller than Tom
Nils said on 26/Oct/11
Mr bond i have to say ur the one that isnt making any sense, you come here insulting andrea for no reason and the fact remains that he has shown more proof then you have. I don't know where you get all your anger from but speaking of intelligence ur the one looking dumb here.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 26/Oct/11
Ahah just lets make a big laugh! Think what you want! The only thing you can do is insult the others! I repeat: look for the video with jared, tom and jared! That clears it all: tom 190, jared 193, jensen 182, maybe 181! Rob please say jensen is not 6'1 at all so that our dear mr bond understands it! Tom at 6'2.25 would make james marsters max 5'8-5.8.25 and rob said hes no less than 5'9! You'd be dwarfed by tom :)
ANDREA[ITA] said on 26/Oct/11
mr bond, ou probably dunno what you're talking about! Go on youtube and watch the vid with tom, jared and jensen! The fact you say jensen is 6'1 says it all and fires the already small reputation you have on this site! Rob met him and said hes no way around 6'1! Tom has 8-9 cms on him! If jensen is 6'1, tom must be at least 6'4-6'4.5! Dont think so! Have you seen the photos i posted? Tom is wearing sandals, James marsters normal shoes, so he has got shoe disadvantage (stop with this thing about shoes, you're just ridicolous!)! James is no less than 175 and he looks at least 15-16 cms shorter than tom! I posted a photo of justin hartley and tom from backstage and justin looks about an inch shorter than tom! Justin himself said it and he knows tom better than you, standing behind a monitor! He looks at least as tall as john schneider, sometimes a bit taller! But john is not 192 as you say, more like around 190! He has around 20 cms on jessica alba, wearing heels! He has at least 2 inches on gabriel aubry, who's supposed to be 6'2 and looks even taller than that with bruce willis and halle berry! And he looks max 3 cms shorter than jared, whos no less than 6'4! As you see, i post proofs, i dont just say hes max 6'2 and insult like you've been doin for a long time! Grow up, mr bond!
ANDREA[ITA] said on 25/Oct/11
Rob, how much is the difference in your opinion?

IMO, tom looks solid 10 cms taller than Mike here!
Editor Rob
he could be 9-10 cm taller, but outside on rocky rubble ground is never going to be as great as good as indoors for height.
Jeff said on 25/Oct/11

Yeah! I gotta agree in part with you, burt! Rob is not objective with some stars!
ANDREA[ITA] said on 25/Oct/11
Ahahhaha normal height: right! I'd say its average! Mr bond you've gone mad! Jensen is at least 8-9 cms shorter than tom! If hes 6'1, tom is at least 6'4-6'4.5! But jensen is noway 6'1! Hes 182, tom is 190-191, jared 193, maybe a bit over it!
Burt said on 24/Oct/11
This has turned more into a popularity contest. Why did Rob cave--when there are so many more star like Stallone and Arnold who should be downgraded.And a few that should be upgraged--POLITICS I Say--SHAME on you ROB
ANDREA[ITA] said on 24/Oct/11
Ahahah tom is well over 6'3 in the morning! Im sure he could be 6'3.5, jared is only 3 cms taller! Justin hartley is like 2 -3 cms shorter than tom!
ANDREA[ITA] said on 24/Oct/11
Thats what i was saying! Thank you, nils! Theyre both very tall, jared a little taller (3 cms is not a big difference at all)!

ANDREA[ITA] said on 21/Oct/11
Lan Jiao he's at least 15-16 taller than legit 5'9 james marsters! he's almost about an inch taller than justin hartley (i posted a photo sometime ago)! he's max 3 cms shorter than Jared Padalecki! he's solid 8-9 cms taller than Jensen Ackles (who might be wearing bigger shoes)! 190 is his min!
LAN Jiao said on 20/Oct/11
Andrea, previous listing is much accurate than now. Padalecki is 6'4 tom always had 4-5cm lower. 189 is max. Seriously he had a legit 6'2 frame happen than 6'3. Maybe his hair and long limps fooled people
ANDREA[ITA] said on 20/Oct/11
Lan there are mamy photos that show him at 6'3 min, according to heights on this site! But 190 is probably right, maybe he measured himself before bed at "almost 6'3"! That woulx make him a legit 6'3 man!
Legend said on 19/Oct/11
Upgraded by a quarter inch? Really? smh
mr medium said on 19/Oct/11
yeah. i know, rob must be upgrade him. he looks taller. no way under 190. good job
LAN Jiao said on 19/Oct/11
190 now?? But certainly everyday there is still numbers of people will came in argue welling from 6'1 to 6'3 range. I take the middle 6'2 min he looks it.
Joely said on 19/Oct/11
Yes, good job on the upgrade. There was no proof that he was 6' 2.5" either; that seems to have been an arbitrary interpretation of 'almost' 6' 3". 6' 2.75" feels closer to reality.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 19/Oct/11
Hugh i agree with you! But tom is surely taller than 189! 190 is closer to the truth!
Hugh said on 19/Oct/11
I can't see any objectivity in this upgrade. There are no reason to upgrade .25 in. To upgrade a .25 in you must have proofs like height actual measures. If you just "think" he is taller than the previous height then you cannot be so accurate, you have to upgrade him 1 inch at least. Or make a round height, just 6'3".
Larc 6 ft 1.75 in said on 19/Oct/11
6'2.75 is closer, good job.
GB said on 18/Oct/11
I see Tom has been upgraded to the correct height. Good job!
Yaspaa said on 18/Oct/11
Wow, an upgrade.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 17/Oct/11
Yeah in full-lenght shots! For what i know he could be wearing a normal pair of sandals! And we do not know what adam is wearing! And, just for information, an italian friend of mine met him and said he looked 176! I think hes not far from the true! 176-177 for adam is ok!
ANDREA[ITA] said on 17/Oct/11
And rob you better know than me that the fact someone says an height doesnt mean he cant be over that height! Darius danesh said 6'2 and 6'2.75 but you lidted him at 6'4! Youre not much coerent, no offense of course ;)
And im gonna post soon in cusack's page because its impossible that a 189 looks so short next to a 195 guy like tim robbins! The only thing that could explaim that is that tim borrowed sly's elevators but it does not make any sense since hes already huge!
ANDREA[ITA] said on 17/Oct/11
Alleluja rob xD it was something you had to do from a lot of time! Thanks :) hes min 190
Are you goin to downgrade adam brody too? Hes clearly not over 177 with tom!
Editor Rob
I don't think he comes much below tom's eyes, but remember Tom has worn 1.4 boots on smallville before.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 17/Oct/11
Lan jiao i am the first saying in smallville in most of the scenes he looks max 6'2! But thats because they use camera tricks because hes very big! Think that i also thought he was max 180 sometimes, he didnt look much taller than james marsters! Then i saw real pics, from backstage, and tom is actually a wall next to james marsters, he looks min 6'3 next to him! hes taller than legit 6'2-6'2.25 justin hartley, hes max 3 cms shorter than jared, hes much taller than jensen ackles! Anything under 190 is bs!

Editor Rob
you know I am going to give Tom now the 'almost 6ft 3' mark of 2.75 as it covers what he described himself at.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 17/Oct/11
Yeah gb! I think hes min 190! If jared is only 193, tom is no just 190! If jared is a bit over 193, tom could be 191! Anyway, that clearly shows that adam is no way 179!
ANDREA[ITA] said on 17/Oct/11
Tyler hes not closer, tom has simply much wider shoulders than adam!
ANDREA[ITA] said on 17/Oct/11
Rob another proof that tom is over 6'2.5? What do you need anymore? Is it possible that adam is 176-177? Why when you see pics like this you dont change anything? Same with John cusack thqt is lucky to be 186-187 if robbins is "only" 195?
LAN Jiao said on 17/Oct/11
honestly welling look 6'2 , also 6'2.5 awhile. in smallville he look 6'2 alot.

By looking at their shoulders, it looks like he is slightly closer!
ANDREA[ITA] said on 16/Oct/11
Rob, how much difference is there in this pic? Be honest, please :)
tinyurl.com/3t4d6vy
the guy with tom is adam brody, that you listed at 179!
Editor Rob
in that still possibly over 5 inches, but not up to 6
Tyler said on 15/Oct/11
Click Here Very weird photo. Jensen looks 6'1" next to Tom, Jared looks 6'4.5" or 6'5", and Chad Michael Murray looks a legit 6'1"..... whaaaaa? Rob?????
Editor Rob
tom does look possibly slightly further away
ANDREA[ITA] said on 15/Oct/11
Rob, here again there's more than 10 cms than Adam Brody, that you yourself listed at 179! Have you met him? Could he be less? I still dunno what you need to upgrade Tom! Same story of will smith, i mean the contrary! COULD you please tell me why you keep some people at some heights after there are thousand of pics that tell they're not that height?
Editor Rob
tom is almost 6ft 3, from his own mouth, I've said he could be 6ft 2.5 or 2.75, I might end up saying 2.75 is nearer
ANDREA[ITA] said on 15/Oct/11
Well, Rob i really dont know what you need to upgrade him at least by 0.25 inches... Or to downgrade John Schneider! You got guys listed at 6'2.5 that never look as tall as him! Examples? Samuel L. Jackson, Ashton Kutcher, Ben Affleck! One of the few legit 6'2.5 guys you have is Brandon Routh!
Editor Rob
a 0.25 inch upgrade is possible for tom, it's not off the cards...
ANDREA[ITA] said on 15/Oct/11
Here Tom is with Shane West, that you listed at 181... Click Here
He's nearer the camera but i'd bet there would be like 10 cms of difference, if he tom werent behind him! Could Shane be only 178-179?
Editor Rob
I don't think he's 179 but somewhere around 5ft 11 range.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 15/Oct/11
Yeah but in Smallville, if you watched the episode with Paul, he looked very short next to tom! I thought he were like 173 but then i came here and you say 178...
ANDREA[ITA] said on 15/Oct/11
why rob? because he looks way taller than 189?
Editor Rob
Tom is mid-stride on one foot while paul isn't in the same stride, he's got a wee advantage there!.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 14/Oct/11
ok! if you wouldnt know the guy on tom's left you'd say he's a short guy like 170-171, right? But he's paul wesley listed here at 178. Could Paul be only 171 Rob? Click Here
how do you explain that? i imagine bad camera angle again, right? That's the almost excuse you use when tom looks taller than 6'2.5
Editor Rob
I've met Paul and think he looks 5ft 10. The photo isn't the best to compare heights.
Henrik said on 14/Oct/11
Andrea:

It is very rare from the first place to downgrade your height. Someone who'd pretty much guaranteedly not do it would be someone who plays Clark Kent and is shorter than the character's 6'4" description. If anything, it's a miracle that Welling isn't claiming to be 6'4".
Da Man said on 13/Oct/11
Wow, what happened to Patrick and Yaspaaa? With this discussion I'm not surprised they flew the coop.
PepsiCola said on 13/Oct/11
You mean when you posted as Hugh and used spellchecker to fool people you're a different person, aaaaaaahhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaa thats a good one lol
PepsiCola said on 13/Oct/11
Mr Bond he clearly doesn't know what the word almost mean lol
ANDREA[ITA] said on 13/Oct/11
ahah yeah Pepsi aka Mr Bond aka YellowCabs! You should change the way to write to do it! :)
190 out of bed? Tom's at least 6'3.5 out of bed! Look at the pics with Gabriel Aubry, he's listed 6ft2 but he's 4 inches taller than Bruce Willis and looks close to 6'3 next to Halle Berry! He's at least 6'2.25! Tom has no less than 1.5 inches on him :) Just to say it!
Look here, dumbass: Click Here
Allison Mack is listed at 163, with those heels she's at least 170 and tom looks huge next to him! like 6'5, obviously in shoes! Those shoes are max 1.5 inches, so he's around 6'3-6'3.25! Also 190 makes sense! Anything less than 190 is far from truth!
PepsiCola said on 13/Oct/11
Rob what do you think of that video link i posted earlier watch Click Here skip to 1:20
PepsiCola said on 13/Oct/11
yeah hes 190 out of bed 189 before bed just look at the link i posted earlier,he says im about 6ft3 in other words almost 6ft3, Mr Bond im with ya on this one
ANDREA[ITA] said on 13/Oct/11
Ahahah now you also discuss about my name? I didnt know about that quote, Joely! Thanks
Theyre about the same, maybe john 0.25 inches shorter! With rob he doesnt look 6ft3! More like 6'2.5!
Hugh said on 12/Oct/11
Mr Bond, I've shown you the etymology. And I told you that the female usage is just a corruption of its meaning. Said that you can think what you want, but the name's meaning is "Male".
Joely said on 12/Oct/11
Oh, and John Schneider once said on video (I won't use quotes because I'm paraphrasing), Tom and I are the same height - we're both 6'4", but he's clearly a liar as well.
Joely said on 12/Oct/11
This is a funny thread. So when Tom says he is "almost six-foot-three" in 2001, he is telling the forthright truth. But when Justin says that Tom is "about an inch" taller in 2006, he is lying. Lets face it: we all chose to believe what we chose to believe.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 12/Oct/11
I already posted! See before to talk! Only backstage, john is probably about tom's height, maybe 0.5 inches shorter or 0.25! Justin said himself hes about an inch shorter than tom an the pic i posted showed it! He also said they used camera tricks to make him appear not short next to tom! His words, he doesnt lie about it!
ANDREA[ITA] said on 11/Oct/11
the fact he says he's almost 6ft3 doesnt mean hes no more than 6ft3. I found a Darius Danesh, that claimed even 6ft2, but is in reality at least 193-194 :)
ANDREA[ITA] said on 11/Oct/11
Thank you hugh! Bond is so ignorant...
ANDREA[ITA] said on 11/Oct/11
Larc thats not a very good pic for judge... There are backstage photos that are better and show that tom is about aninch taller, which is what justin says!
ANDREA[ITA] said on 10/Oct/11
And the fact that he claims almost 6'3 doesnt mean he cant be more than that! i found you have a guy, darius danesh, that i didnt know, that claims 6ft2 but in reality is at least 6ft4!
Hektor said on 10/Oct/11
Larc---don't you see that Hartley is walking a bit behind Tom. How in the world can you be that accurate. Does a real side by side photo exist from head to toe?? That would prove a lot.
Nils said on 10/Oct/11
I don't get why people can't see the difference between justin and Tom :p it's easily 0.5in~
Hugh said on 10/Oct/11
Mr Bond, Andrea comes from the greek word Andrí²s, which stands for "Male". The female common use is just a corruption of its real meaning.
Larc 6 ft 1.75 in said on 10/Oct/11
6'2.75 is the best guess Rob, you should upgrade him:

They are walking, but it's clearly visible that there's more than just 0.50 between them.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 10/Oct/11
He was listed at 6'2 because its the ideal height but he obviously is taller than that! Hes about an inch taller than justin hartley!
ANDREA[ITA] said on 8/Oct/11
Anyway, Andrea is my name. I'm a guy. This shows how dumb you are. In italy andrea is a common male name but that's probably not understandable by a dumb like you. And... I am a nerd, i am a troll, you are taller than tom and last but not least santa claus exists. :)
ANDREA[ITA] said on 8/Oct/11
Yeah bond velieve what you want :)
Larc 6 ft 1.75 in said on 7/Oct/11
6'2.75 or 190cm. I bet he would be only 1inch taller than me in person.
And he has a small head and an high eyelevel that's why he looks taller:

Click Here

6'3.5 in the morning
6'2.75 in the night

Can look even a full 6'3 sometimes, but not always, he's a weak 6'3.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 6/Oct/11
Mr bond, everytime i rea your comments, you brighten up my day! Ahah first maybe you still didnt get im a guy, not a girl and im over 6' so i know what im talkin about! A person that claims 6ft2.5 and says hes almost the same as his 6ft is clearly not that height! You have height complex and you come on here insulting other people that have different opinion! You're just immature, thats it! Its useless to have a discussion with a troll like you! I go out every day, in big cities so i know what i say! I never heard 6ft2.5 guy to be described as a giant by like 10 people! If you saw the pic with james marsters, its clearly more than 14 cms, rob said it too but i think you are at the same level with 5'9 persons too, huh? Ahah you're just ridicolous! Tom is taller than you, for sure, you troll that are 5'6! Bye bye :)
PepsiCola said on 6/Oct/11
ANDREA[ITA] 191 cm out of bed i do believe, 189 or 190,4 night before bed :)

your funny in a good way :)
ANDREA[ITA] said on 6/Oct/11
ROB, so you are 100% sure he doesnt reach the 6ft3 mark? Could jared padalecki be more than 6'4? Because tom looks max 3 cms shorter! If you are sure that jared is no more than 193, then i agree that tom is max 190! You saw the pic with james! You said he doesnt look under 6'3 and he has shoe disadvantage! Are you sure that james marsters is really 5'9? Maybe hes less than that! I mean... You have pics with 6ft3 guys on this site and they dont even look the same than that! And you're 2 cm shorter than james marsters!!!!
Editor Rob
yes james isn't less than 5ft 9.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 6/Oct/11
Bond, if youre serious you got some problems! You say he cant be 6'3 just because he stutters and puts eyes down! Ahahaha
ANDREA[ITA] said on 5/Oct/11
and to answer pepsicola, since you want to be so precise, you said about means also almost the same as, so 6ft3 is 190,5, Tom could easily be 190,4 :)
and its always the same story! it depends on when he was measured: maybe he doesnt know the morning/night difference and he measured himself at night, that would make him a solid 6ft3, like 191 which is what i said :)
ANDREA[ITA] said on 5/Oct/11
and here too: Click Here
come on! there looks to be like 17-18 cms between them! or james marsters is shorter than 175 or tom is at least 6'3.5! He looks really huge here!

2: Almos
3: Almost the same as; close to; near.

he is not 6ft3 but close. some times he says hes 6ft3 because it's easier to say, but 189 cm is still tall
Nils said on 4/Oct/11
Whats up with all the anger? it's just a height.
Respect eachothers opinion please remember that noone can know 100% for sure if he/she didn't measure the celebrity.

Now to Tom, i think we all can agree Tom is in the 6'2-6'3 range and so far noone has any proof to show otherwise so robs listing is good.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 4/Oct/11
Hes for sure over 189! Thats clear!
ANDREA[ITA] said on 4/Oct/11
O yeah! I repeat that jared was made taller than what he is (he said it in an intetview, he said that tom is a big guy so they had to make him look taller :)) if jared is 6'5, tom is around 6'4 for sure! He looks max 3 cms shorter in the cw video! Just see it an shut up, you troll! Second i didnt insult you, so youre the one that must get a life! I bet also tom is taller than 6ft guys but only in the mirror ahahah youre so funny! Tom would kick your ass! John said in an extra in the dvd of the first season that tom is as tall as him, so if john is 6'3.5, tom is at least the same! They all say tom is huge, a giant, also people from other movies (the director of the fog said that tom must be 6'4-6'5, his own words :)) i think that people that worked with him are better judges than people that never met him! Anything in the 189-191 range is ok for tom! Justin said that tom is about an inch taller than him and justin is legit 6'2-6'2.25! See the pic i posted: tom is clearly 2-3 cm taller! So just shut up and accept tom is taller than you! :)
Luke said on 4/Oct/11
It is going to be impossible to tell how tall exactly is Tom Welling but he used to be a male model before acting and his height was stated as 6'3". Also height can vary throughout the day. He is clearly a large and very well built man.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 3/Oct/11
And... Just to say it... Theres less difference between jared and tom than between jared and zachary levi! The same zachary levi that is listed at 191! Im sure tom isnt shorter than him! 190-191 for tom sounds right!
Legend said on 3/Oct/11
@Larc

He's 6'2 or he would have claimed 6'3 easily.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 3/Oct/11
Not only jared doesnt look huge next to tom! He looks normal! He's max 1.25 inches shorter than jared! Look at the video from cw on youtube!
Larc 6 ft 1.75 in said on 3/Oct/11
6'2.75 to me, he isn't over that, he clearly looks more than just 1inch shorter than 6'4 Padalecki.
Yaspaa said on 1/Oct/11
Jared certainly doesn't look huge next to Tom and I'm not sure what your last paragraph is for other than for self gratification. Try measuring yourself every hour and let us know.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 1/Oct/11
6ft3-6ft3.25 for tom is right! Jared is about an inch taller at 6ft4-6ft4.25! Clearly over 6ft2.5!
ANDREA[ITA] said on 1/Oct/11
And... Gabriel Aubrey is another proof he's more than 6'2.5! Gabriel looks at least and i say at least 6'2.5 next to Halle Berry and Bruce Willis, according to this site's heights! And Tom is no less than 1.5' inches taller than him! He looks at least, at least and i repeat at least 6'4 next to Gabriel!
ANDREA[ITA] said on 1/Oct/11
and justin hartley, that saw him for 4-5 years on the set, so he knows him better than me, you and everybody, was asked wheter he is taller than Tom and he answered: "No, Tom is about an inch taller than me"! Justin is 6'2.25, Rob met him, Tom's gotta be at least 6'2.75 but more like 6'3-6'3.25!

ANDREA[ITA] said on 30/Sep/11
And... If uou want to know also the director of "the fog" said tom is about 6'5! 6'2.75 min for him and 6 ft max for you since you say you're the same size as your 6ft friends! You probably are just 6ft and dont understand how tall a legit 190 really is!
Nils said on 30/Sep/11
Actually i don't have the link anymore but i read it in an interview, i'm sure somebody else has seen it too?
Then again Justin claimed to be just a "shade" under that ;) i think Dean cain and Rob are probably closest ;)
ANDREA[ITA] said on 29/Sep/11
and... he's for sure taller than John Schneider! I saw "real" photos, out of the set and he's a smidge taller than John! like 0.25,0.50! According to this site, tom would be 6'3.25-6'3.5! :) BUT Rob is wrong because John is not 6ft3 but more like 6'2.5! So tom at 6'2.75-6'3 is ok!
ANDREA[ITA] said on 29/Sep/11
If jutin guessed him at 6'4 he's gotta be that more than 6'3! Anyway, i never heard justin guessed him at 6'4. You got a link? Justin is a legit 6'2-6'2.25 guy, if he tom were 6'2.5 he would be only 0.25-0.50 taller than him and there would be no sense in saying he's 6'4 if he's not! But i dont think he's 6'4 because he's shorter than Jared! Tom at 6'4 would make Jared at least 6'4.75! I dont think he's that tall! If it weren't for that, 6'4 would be believable! I repeat i never heard a 189 guy to be described by everyone as huge and giant! With Gabriel Aubry, that is at least 6'2, probably closer to 6'3 (remember he was 4 inches taller than Bruce Willis) Tom had at least 2 inches!
Da Man said on 29/Sep/11
There was more than 4.5" between Tom and Kane backstage, there is more than that one picture of Kane talking to Tom while hunched-over like an 80 year old woman with osteoporosis. Then again, Kane isn't just a flat 6'7" either.
Nils said on 29/Sep/11
Dean cain guessed him at 6'3 240pounds :p And he's honest about his own height.
justin guessed him at 6'4
And the rest 6'5?

6'2 is too low.
Larc 6 ft 1.75 in said on 29/Sep/11
@Legend:
6'2 is too low, James Masters is 175cm and looks like a child next to him, he's almost 6'3, I think 6'2.75 or 190cm is possible.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 26/Sep/11
This picture (Click Here) and it's not the only one clearly show how huge tom is! He's at least 16 cms taller than James Marsters, that Rob himself met and said he's not under 5'9! That would make Tom at least 191! I heard a video where some of the cast of Smallville said Tom is like 6'9! Have you ever heard a 6'2.5 guy to be described like that? Let's take the example of Chuck, where there are a lot of very tall actors, Zachary Levi, Adam Baldwin, Ryan Mcpartlin,... No one ever described them as "huge"! maybe they're not wrong by saying tom is 6'9! here he looks that next to Taylor Lautner: Click Here
Legend said on 26/Sep/11
No he's 6'2 absolute max. He was listed as 6'2 in modeling.
Larc 6 ft 1.75 in said on 26/Sep/11
189-190 (6'2.5-6'2.75) seems reasonable to me, 191-192 (6'3.25-6'3.5) in the morning. Weak 6'3.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 23/Sep/11
Go at 2.30! Jaime King, who is listed at 5'9, so a tall woman who is supposed to be "only" 14 cms shorter than tom, plus she probably wore heels, claims that tom is so tall, with giant hands :)
Jennynu said on 23/Sep/11
Should be correct...something around 6.2

And for the others...that guy is supposed to play the "young superman" none of the others in the cast should tower him, except maybe a guy from that planet he's coming from.
Da Man said on 22/Sep/11
If Tom is 6'2.75" then that makes Jared roughly 6'4.25". I do not see a full 2" between them in the CW premiere vid, but a pretty clear 1.5"-1.6".
ANDREA[ITA] said on 22/Sep/11
Truth! I said 6'4 because 95% of people who met him said he was at least that height! I and you didnt meet him so we cannot judge him! Anyway you're wrong if you say Jared is 6'4.5+! He's absolutely not that height! If he's 6'4.5, Tom is at least 6'3.25!
Truth said on 21/Sep/11
Andrea it seems like you are saying Tom Welling is 6'2.75 I hope that's not a typo. Which thank god because you've been saying he was 6'4 or more this entire time. I agree with what you said about Tom being 6'2.75 I think Jared is 6'4.5+
Da Man said on 21/Sep/11
Mr Bond, you said, "When we're standing in front of each other and talking, to me they seem the same height as me. face to face eye to eye. It's only when we compare and look in a mirror, my head is slightly higher.[/quote]

That's why I said what I did.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 21/Sep/11
Truth, think what you want! I've seen pics and videos and Tom looks max 3 inches shorter thank Jared. I think Jared is a legit 193 man! Tom is 190 and the "almost 6'3" claim just makes sense since 6ft3 is 190.5! I never heard it, but someone said that Justin Hartley claimed that Tom is about 0.5 inches taller than him, so we have Justin at 6'2.25+0.50=6'2.75! That makes sense! And btw, Jensen Ackles is solid 8 cms shorter than Tom, he's gotta be around the 182 mark! And the same Tom looked in the backstage photos no more than 12 cms shorter than 202 kane! A legit 6'2.75 man is very tall, but you probably cannot understand it because there's a lot of "fake" 6'2.5-6'3 men in this site!
Steph said on 21/Sep/11
I think someone already mentioned this but it's not just Tom's height that makes him tall... his built also makes him appear taller. Look at Justin Hartley, he's tall but his built isn't as "big" as Tom's so it gives off the appearance that he is shorter. Also, I'm pretty sure Michael Rosenbaum was joking when he said he was standing on apple crates or whatever to appear taller. Wasn't he a huge jokester on set? I remember seeing behind the scenes footage and he was always cracking jokes.
Truth said on 21/Sep/11
Andrea, Tom's eye line comes right up against Jared's cheek/mouth and we've seen from pictures that Jared can fit Tom right inside of his arm when they have taken pictures with one another. Jared is 2 inches taller then Tom.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 21/Sep/11
i now that the girl is probably very short, but here Tom looks a giant in comparison with other people!
Click Here
Da Man said on 20/Sep/11
Sorry Mr. Bond, but a 6'0" guy's eye level is about even with a 6'2.5" guy's mouth barring a wildly misproportioned head on the 6'2.5" guy. That level stays they whether both are slouched or both are strecthed. If you're 6'2.5" and looking eye-to-eye with 6'0" guys, you either need to improve your posture or you have ~6.5" forehead.

I'm speaking from experience on this matter myself. I'm 6'2.5" and my Dad is 6'0" and we are proportioned similarly, when I'm introduced as his son I can almost bank on getting a "where did you get your height from?" comment. 2.5" isn't much distance, but it makes a big freaking difference with proportioning and a big difference on perceived height. And no, I don't even come close to looking eye-to-eye with 6'0" people, relaxed posture or not.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 20/Sep/11
Mr bond! Thats one of the most ridicolous comments! Are you joking? I hope so. Tom is not supposed to be anything. If it were true, they wouldnt use camera tricks to hide his real bigness! Its the exact contrary! People from other movies all talked about his bigness and all said hes at least 6'4! Thats not true hes big because he uses timberland or something like that! The cast said he wears birkenstocks in lots of scene. I just say this: i dunno if hes 6'3.5-6'4 but if he were that, that wouodnt surprise me at all!
Da Man said on 18/Sep/11
ANDREA[ITA], I agree with you! lol
Da Man said on 18/Sep/11
A 6'0" guy is not even close to eye-to-eye with a 6'2.5" guy.
Truth said on 18/Sep/11
Well the men in question aren't 6 foot, Bond so I don't see what that has to do with anything. Micheal Rosenbaum (5'11) is the tallest guy out of Sam (5'10) and James (5'8). If Tom is in the 6'2-6'3 bracket which I believe him to be, that would be a height gap of 3-4 inches which is noticeable in a camera lens. Especially during close up shots. If Lex is supposed to be meanacing or if he is supposed to have a close intimate shot with Clark it would look odd for him to be so much shorter in the frame, it also gets to a point where you wouldn't be able to see the smaller males entire face because you want to get both faces in the shot. Hence why apple boxes are needed to level off the playing field. I find it more interesting that John and Justin who are in the 6'2+ bracket of height don't need apple boxes when in scenes with Tom. Why is that? Because they are the same or similar height to Tom. Tom is not above 6'3 in my opinion. He himself admits to not being 6'3. As to Jared he looks about 2" taller then Tom. I definitely think Jared is 6'4+ seeing as he is very similar in height to a lot of 6'5 actors.
truejenny said on 18/Sep/11
If only Tom could tell his height here, maybe he will say 6'3"+ nowadays. I bet he has grown 2-3 cm since season 1. I measured my boyfriend who is 6'2.5 before bedtime. He said Tom has a good inch on him whenever they're standing side by side in the set where he always meet Tom at the last set of Smallville.
Nils said on 18/Sep/11
Mr bond, no it depends on the people you see. I'm solid 6'1 and i feel taller then most people i meet but i do have friends who are over 6'5.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 17/Sep/11
Anyway, i still think Tom is no more than 3 cms shorter than Jared! Jared is 6'4 (not sure about 6'4.25), Tom is 6'2.75 (which is actually "almost 6'3"), Jensen Ackles is 182! Actually a legit 6'2.5, 6'2.75 man is very tall! That's why i think lots of celebs listed at that height on this site should be downgraded! Because they just dont look much big! An example? Samuel L. Jackson, John Cusack, Clive Owen,... and i could go on until tomorrow!

ok! i remember you that the same Michael Rosenbaum, said that tom did a lot of scene in birkestok! the same michael that, at 180-181, needs apple box. do your math!
Nils said on 17/Sep/11
I think Tom is taller then both justin and john by atleast 0.25in
As Joely said he only had those shoes in his blur outfit.
Then again john is no taller then 6'2.5 so maybe 6'2.5-6'2.75 is accurate.
Truth said on 16/Sep/11
What pic are you looking at Andrea? Tom does not look an inch taller then John. They are basically the same height. Not seeing where you are getting this.
Joely said on 16/Sep/11
All that said, Justin and Tom *are* close in height, about an inch apart, I'd say, with Tom being taller. An inch is difficult to discern and any difference in posture or camera angle or heel height could eliminate it.
Joely said on 16/Sep/11
Hugh, I think you got that backwards. Justin was the one wearing heels in most of his scenes; the boots on the Green Arrow costume had 3-5" heels.

Tom wore significant heels only in Season 9 and only in full-length shots as the black cloaked blur. You can see in behind the scenes photos that he switched to black hightop sneakers when his feet weren't in the shot. Neither Michael Rosenbaum, Sam Witwer, nor James Marsters appeared in Season 9, so they weren't comparing themselves against Tom when he was wearing the big 'black blur' motorcycle boots. As you know, in their seasons, Tom would wear workboots or sandals when he could get away with it, switching to fairly flat dress shoes when at the Daily Planet in Season 8-10. He also often stood with his legs apart to reduce his height.

ahahah tom wearing heels? this is really getting quite ridicolous!

Well, this assertion shows you didn't see the last seasons. I have posted about one year ago a picture showing Welling wearing boots with 2.5 inches (at least) heels. I'll put it here again if I find it.
And about the "tons of pics": it was one, just one picture.

And in the pic of Tom and John Schneider, Tom looks near an inch taller than John! According to this site, Tom would be 6'4 but again John is not 191 but 188-189 and Tom 191-192!
ANDREA[ITA] said on 15/Sep/11
Big Deal about Hugh Jackman? Gimme a link
Tom, if you see "real" pictures" is about 2 cms taller than John Schneider! John is 189 at worst (even if he looked 0.5 shorter than David Hasselhoff). Tom's gotta be no less than 191!
LAN Jiao said on 15/Sep/11

ANDREA[ITA] says on 14/Sep/11
Why should they use camera tricks? And why did he say he looked like Lana next to Tom?
----------------------------------------------------------------
He said that just because it is true. But it is true because of the huge heels Tom usually wore on the scene. Everybody can see those heels in the last seasons. If you look to the out of the scene pictures, or Comic-con pictures, while Tom is not wearing those heels, you can easily see they (Juston and Tom) are really the very same height. And this is consistent with every Welling's and other's statement.
Da Man said on 14/Sep/11
ANDREA[ITA] says on, " Have you ever heard other celebs that are listed at the same height to be described like that? No. Why? Cause hes probably taller than that!"

Actually, yeah, a lot of people make a big deal over Hugh Jackman's height too and he's shorter than Tom.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 14/Sep/11
That's what i'm saying! That doesnt make sense! Justin Hartley, who is a legit 6'2, himself said that they used camera tricks to make him taller next to Tom Welling! If Tom really were only 6'2.5, that would be 1 cm taller than Justin. Why should they use camera tricks? And why did he say he looked like Lana next to Tom?
Nils said on 14/Sep/11
It's wierd that lex(michael rosenbaum) who is 181~ cm said himself that they
have to make him look taller with tom and still there is always 3~ inch difference on the show. Why would he lie about standing on apple boxes?
ANDREA[ITA] said on 14/Sep/11
Nonono i dont want him at 6'4+! what would i earn? Its just too strange everybody and i say EVERYBODY say he's a giant, he's huge when hes "only" 189! Have you ever heard other celebs that are listed at the same height to be described like that? No. Why? Cause hes probably taller than that!
Ego said on 14/Sep/11
Andrea does his meths...
Lexi said on 14/Sep/11
Well, men don't stop growing, sometimes even in height, until 25-30 years old. Sam Jones hasn't been a part of the cast since '04. In theory, Tom could very well have grown an inch since then.
Truth said on 13/Sep/11
Andrea your posting spam at this point. How do you explain Tom being the same height as Justin Hartley (who is 6'2.2? There is no way Tom is 6'4.5 when he is a similar height to John Schneider who is also within the 6'2-6'3 area. Tom himself admits to being around the 6'2-6'3 height range. We have seen him with other 6'2 actors and he is of similar height to them. I understand that you want him to be 6'4+ but it is quite obvious that he isn't.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 13/Sep/11
Gabriel is not 6 ft! Next to Halle Berry and Bruce Willis looked almost 6ft3! He looked very tall! And Tom is no less than 1.5 inches taller! So do your maths!
Nils said on 13/Sep/11
Aubry must be 6ft lol :p tom is clearly more than 2 inches taller, the pic Da Man showed clearly shows that.

Well it's clear even by his proportions Aubry is not as tall as you people think. Welling is 6'2 flat.
leonari said on 12/Sep/11
Welling was Superman! Thats why. I am a huge Supes fan since the age of 5 and Tom really has the right proportions to play The man of steel. Nobody comes close to Chris Reeves. Don't get me started on Henry Cavill... He is just plain wrong for the part. His arms look short. Take a look at this travesty: Click Here
ANDREA[ITA] said on 12/Sep/11
Here he is Tom with Jessica Alba, wearing heels! So she's gotta be at least 5'9 in heels (according to this site)! Tom is about 20 cms taller! So 195 in shoes, let's take away 2-3 cms and here he is: he's 192-193! How do you explain this?
ANDREA[ITA] said on 12/Sep/11
Im still not convinced... Gabriel is solid 4 inches taller than bruce willis (listed here 5'11.5)! That would make gabriel around 6'3.5! And tom at the very very very very worst is 1 imch taller than him! So hes gotta be 6'4.5 according to rob's listing but im getting it only know that rob did a lot of wrong listings, for those he hasnt met, maybe for the ones he judges nice! I just try to be objective and to find the most proper height and not to downgrade the celebs i dont like! Will smith looked MAX 6'1 in tons of pics but he's still listed at 187! Brad Pitt is 177-178 but he keeps to be listed at 180.34! John cusack looked easily 4 inches shorter than tim robbins but hes even been upgraded to 189 just because he said it! Clive owen at 188 is ridicolous! Raoul bova, that you rob probably saw just once, is listed at 181 when having seen italian movies, that you for sure dont even know, looked morr like 178-179! And the same raoul bova was as tall as gerard butler, that is supposed to be 186! Ahahha lets be clear, rob: i dont wanna offend you or attack this site but i just wanna say that the only "trusted" heights are the ones of the people you met! The others, in 70% of cases, are so wrong! You met james marsters and he was taller than you, the same james marsters that claimed that tom is like a giant! Id die to see a photo next to tom and hearing you saying "hes actually huge and taller than 189"! But from what you said, i think it'll be hard to happen!

if you measured a star then you can say with certainty 'that's wrong', but since none of us have measured a star, we are saying other folk's guesses are wrong based on...our own personal opinion, which is just that - a guess :)
Da Man said on 12/Sep/11
Balthier, right. Tom has "superhero" proportioning, being about 8 heads tall. He is going to give a taller impression than someone 7-7.5 heads tall even if they're the same height.

Re ANDREA[ITA]:

Tom is also very well built (proportioned) which can give the illusion of him being taller (he feels "big").
ANDREA[ITA] said on 11/Sep/11
Rob, just answer this question. Bust DO answer please.
Everybody just talks about him as a giant, as a huge guy, i mean everybody in Smallville Cast, even the tall ones like Justin Hartley. Why nobody talks about John Schneider? Or in general, i never heard anyone talking about how tall arepeople like Morgan Freeman, Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Affleck... and even people that are 6'4 like Jeff Goldblum! How do you explain that?
Editor Rob
the same question I wonder about Tom - why did he feel the need to go on his tip toes beside aubrey and jones?

maybe with the boots he sometimes wears and his sturdy posture and muscle he can give an even taller impression to people?
ANDREA[ITA] said on 11/Sep/11
Yeah but its strange that a 178-179 person like sam witwer says hes notta gonna working with tom cause hes too tall! I mean: that makes me think he refers to a 6'5 guy ( even if i know that tom is not that tall)
Original said on 10/Sep/11
6'2" to 6'2.5".
2' or 2.25" shorter than Padalecki in my opinion
Truth said on 10/Sep/11
Apple boxes come in all sizes they can be as small as 2 inches and as large as 8. The fact that Mike, Sam and James all men who are 5'11 or less need a box to be eye to eye with a 6'2.5/6'3 actor doesn't really surprise me. We all know Tom is taller then them by a healthy number of inches. We also know that Tom is of a similar size to both John and Justin. He's around 6'2.5
ANDREA[ITA] said on 9/Sep/11
The strange thing is that everybody, even tall guys like Jared Padalecki, say tom is very tall and big! Rob listed him at only 189! But he listed at the same time john schneider at 191 and nobody said how tall he is ( everybody should be surprised by his height since they talk about tom as a giant and huge guy)! But nobody talked about that! Or also justin that should be, according to rob, only 0.25 inch shorter! How doyou explain this, rob? Just say something cause im very confused!
Editor Rob
6ft 2.5-3 range for Tom is the height he claimed.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 9/Sep/11

ANDREA[ITA] said on 8/Sep/11
and I also remember a scene where Erica Durance has heels that gives her at least 3 inches, she goes on some papers that are at least 13-14 cms to kiss Tom, so she has at least 20 cms advantage on him but she's still shorter by 2 inches! 6'4 is my guess for Tom!
ANDREA[ITA] said on 8/Sep/11
Joely thank you for the video! It again says it all! Come on! Michael Rosenbaum is 180-181, so there should be only 9 cms of difference! It's not a huge difference but he claims he has to tilt his head up and apple boxes! That's pretty strange! They all mention his height! I never heard so many people discussing about height of someone that is 189! I'd understand a 6'5 guy but not a 6'2.5! Rob doesnt it wonder you? Is there a chance you meet him? I'd bet you'd get surprised by his "real" height! Please answer, Rob!
Editor Rob
I doubt I will meet him
Truth said on 8/Sep/11
Any one who towers over them is going to think that the person in question is extremely tall. That is more or less height relativism.

Think about what we are talking about here. We have actors and actresses who are less then 6 foot talking about how huge Tom is. Well look at the heights they are at and then compare Tom's height. Kristin Kreuk, Allison Mack, James Marsters, Erica Durance, Sam Witwer and Michael Rosenbaum are all 5'4-5'11 of course they are going to be swamped by a man who is around 6'2-6'3. There is a range of 4 to 12 inches between those ranges of height. Apple boxes (or some lift) would be needed for close up shots where one of the smaller actors would need to be face to face with Tom. Notice how there are no tricks with both Justin and John though who are reported to be between 6'2 and 6'3. Because Tom's height is similar to theirs. They are all virtually the same size as one another and I think that says everything we need to know about Tom's height. He is 6'2-6'3 probably right in the middle. No more then that.
Da Man said on 8/Sep/11

I'm not saying he's 6'5 Larc! I'm saying that he maybe claimed he's almost 6'5! I continue to say he's nothing less than 191! There are people that claim Jared is more than 6'4, like 194! If he really is that height, Tom is even more than 191! Don't say they made Tom look taller in smallville cause its the contrary since they use appleboxes even with Mike Rosenbaum that is a legit 180-181! Everybody says he's huge! Jaime King, that Rob himself listed at 175, said he has to look up because he's a giant! That's strange to hear it from a 5'9 woman since she's supposed to wear heels! Erica Durance, is 170-171, so she's tall for a woman and wears heels and she said he's 6'5! Everybody guessed Tom at around 6'4 or 6'5! Have you ever heard other famous people talking about someone that's 189 or is supposed to be that height, like Morgan Freeman or Samuel L Jackson? No! So or they're shorter than 188-189 and they are 185 or there's something strange here!
John said on 7/Sep/11
They didn't make Tom look taller on Smallville, they had people stand on things to close the height gap, not exaggerate it. If anything it would make Tom come across as shorter when they have 5'4 to 5'11 actors standing on apple boxes to appear taller in comparison.
BTW, James Marsters is a solid 5'9, I just saw him at the Chicago comic con. I'm 5'10 and Marsters was only an inch off my height.

----
6'5? I hope you're joking, Rob has spot on with his estimate. He doesn't look even a mm over 6'2.5 next to 6'4 Padalecki.
They made him appear taller in Smallville because Superman is supposed to be 6'3-6'4 but Welling is in truth under 6'3, he stated: I'm almost six-foot-three.
This should be enough to show that he knows to be under that.
Truth said on 7/Sep/11
Sam Witwer is 5'10 not a legitimate 6'0 actor, he is smaller then Mike Rosenbaum . In order for Sam to stand side by side by Tom Welling and not be dwarfed by him, he would need around 5 inches to make up the height comparison since Tom is a 6'2-6'3 actor. 6'3 or around it is very tall. The average male height is 5'10-6'0. James Marsters is even smaller at 5'8 so of course he would need more of a height boost to push him near Tom's level of height and of course he is going to think Tom is huge in comparison to him. David Boreanez was also much taller then him too.
PepsiCola said on 6/Sep/11
tom welling is wearing workboots in smallville most of the times
Da Man said on 6/Sep/11
Witwer is a Hollywood "over 6 foot", which means 5'10". Tom is an honest "near 6'3", which means he is going to be guessed at 6'4" and 6'5" pretty regularly. I'm 6'2.5" and am guessed at 6'4" pretty consistently, guessed at 6'5" occasionally, guessed at 6'3" occasionally, and pretty much never guessed at 6'2". People by and large tend to overestimate height, most self claimed 6'4" and 6'5" guys aren't legit, barefoot, 6'4" and 6'5" guys.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 6/Sep/11
Come on! They all said he's very tall, even "insanely tall"! That wouldnt have sense if he were only 189! Thats a big height but not insanely tall! Insanely tall for me is sOmeone from 6'5 up! What you think rob? They never saw a 189 guy in their life? Id understand one person but everyone that has to do something with tom talks about his height!
Da Man said on 5/Sep/11
I agree John, and other than a few aberrations in either direction there is a boatload of photographic evidence of Welling generally looking to be roughly his listed height. The guy isn't as low as a flat 6'2" and he's not the 6'3.5" some here think.
Joely said on 5/Sep/11
So that EOnline interview was done before Smallville started airing, when Welling was 23 or just turned 24 and presumably had stopped growing. Two possibilities:

1. He was telling the truth, and he is just under 6'3", whether that's 6'2.5" or 6'2.9", we don't know.

2. He got better information later on when he just started saying about 6'3".

His cast mates keep going on about how tall he is, though, which makes me wonder if he could really be 'only' 6'2.5". Show's over; they don't need to keep playing up his height anymore. One fan's report from Dragoncon which was held this weekend:

Click Here

Much of the answers to questions centered around their working with Tom and on his stature. Marsters joked that they had to create runways of apple boxes for him to stand on during scenes where he had to move around with Tom because Tom was so insanely tall. Witwer remembered thinking "I'm over 6 feet tall, I don't want an apple box", but then reconsidered when he actually stood toe to toe with Welling.
John said on 5/Sep/11
Thanks for that Da Man. I've seen a couple of interviews where Tom referrers to himself as 6'3 most likely because it's easy to say. I think in this interview he was just being honest by saying "I'm almost six-foot-three". He is probably somewhere between 6'2.5 and 6'2.75. A strong 6'3 guy wouldn't say almost 6'3.

In all the interviews I've seen Tom has always referred to himself as 6'3. With that said I believe he is in and around 6'3. I've also never heard him say "I'm almost six-foot-three", I'd like to see that interview. If he did indeed say this it would lead me to believe he is just being honest and is in fact near 6'3.

Rosenbaum is said to be 5'11 and a quarter. If Tom is 3 inches taller that would leave him at 6'2 and a quarter which is a similar size to Justin Hartley. I would say that's believable. Tom is not 6'3 and a half. I just don't see that at all.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 2/Sep/11
Michael isnt 6 foot! Tom would be 6'3.5 or sometimes even 6'4! Mike is around 180-181! Tom is 190, maybe 191! I wouldnt surprise if he were 6'3.5!
ANDREA[ITA] said on 1/Sep/11
ahahah last thing you said means nothing, truth! Michael is clpser to the camera and tom is not standing straight! Most of the photos on the web show that tom is much taller than mike! There are some photos where tom looks almost 4.5 inches taller thab mike and they used ramp on the show for mike (8 cms of difference wouldnt require ramps so tom is probably taller than 189)! When with jared they did the opposite: they had to make jared look taller than he is because tom is a very big guy!
Truth said on 1/Sep/11
Tom is not that much taller (if he is at all) then Justin Hartley, we know he isn't taller then John Schneider, both men are around 6'2-6'3. Tom is somewhere in that height range probably 6'25 right in the middle. Tom himself admits to not being tall enough to count as a real 6'3. Does anyone have photos where Gabriel and Tom are side by side without Tom standing on his tip toes or where there is an odd angle?

That being said I would say there is a bigger height difference between Tom and Jared then there is between Michael Rosenbaum and Tom in these photos. Click Here Click Here
adams1818 said on 31/Aug/11

But people forget that Jensen ALWAYS wears big boots on SN so that he is not shrimped by Jared. My guess is that he is wearing those same type of boots in that pic.

adams1818 says, "st see ;d there is a very little difference between Jared and Tom."

You're right, Tom's almost the same height as Jared...when Padalecki is slouching. This pic definitely does not support 191-192 cm for Tom AT ALL.
Truth said on 29/Aug/11
Jared is slouching in the picture provided, you can see by the way he bends his knees and slouches his shoulders downward and Jared still has the height advantage even when Jared purposely makes himself smaller. Tom is the same height as Justin Hartley you can see it in the cast photos where they both stand straight, there is little if any difference at all between the two of them.
Nils said on 29/Aug/11
To be honest Tom looks to only have 2 inches on jensen in that pic adam, but jensen likes to wear good shoes;) About jared in the pic he is hunching abit and still has an inch over Tom. I'm confused about those pics because they looked closer in height when i met them. But if i would judge from those pics Tom is about 6'2.5

Beside Tom is one of this guy who really dont need to overestimate his height he still be huge. When he says that he is almost 6'3" it doesnt exlude the fact that he is bigger. I'm 6'1.75" (187cm) but when people ask me about height i always say that i'm 6'1.25 (186cm) ;)
