How tall is Tom Welling

Tom Welling's Height

6ft 2 ½ (189.2 cm)

American actor best known for starring as Clark Kent in TV series Smallville. In film he appears in The Fog and Draft Day. In a Comics Continuum article, Sam Jones said I asked, "Hey, Tom, how tall are you?" Because I was waiting for him to say 5-7 and I could start laughing. He's like, "6-2 or 6-3.". Tom himself has said "I'm almost six-foot-three" and "about 6'3."

My height has never helped. I'm almost 6-3. People say, 'Oh, you're too tall.' Maybe it's a nice way of saying I'm no good.

Rob, do you think he could drop to 188cm after a long day and before going to bed?
Editor Rob
After a 16 hour day on set maybe he falls to 6ft 2.25.
Tawehret said on 28/Apr/23
Is Tom 189.1 cm rob or is he abit more than that? I know we’d need a measurement but if u had to say?
Editor Rob
Doubt he'd measure under 189cm at lunchtime.

6ft3 guy
Vincent Caleb said on 24/Jan/23
Looks 6’2” flat here. Maybe 6’2.5” under a stadiometer with perfect posture, no more tho
Canson said on 8/Dec/22
@Darksol: he may hold that at his low. Possible he’s a guy who wakes up to 6’3.25 and dips to 6’2.5 or 6’3 1/8 and dips to 6’2 3/8
Darksol64 said on 7/Dec/22
I'd bet some money that he wakes up at a flat 6'3 and could drop to as low as 6'2 1/4. Would be very surprised if he held a full 6'2.5 at a low.

That's still close to this listing though and a 6'2.5 or 189 claim is fair. "Almost 6'3" is pretty honest too because he would likely measure closer to 6'3 than 6'2 on a really lazy day or early in the morning.

Average guess is too high so I'll guess what I believe his normal low would be - 6'2 1/4

What a great example for someone almost 6.3
Progking184 said on 22/Nov/22
6'2.5 he looks solidly tall. I thought maybe 6'3 at first but he's over that in shoes, close to 6'4.

Tom welling is a very solid 6'2.5 (189cm). Really close to 6'3. You can tell in the first three seasons of Smallville how close he is to 6'3, as he towers most people.
mnecro2602 said on 10/Nov/22
Yeah, 6'2.25" seems more like it.
viper said on 16/Oct/22
Think he's more 6-2.25
itsmoe! said on 16/Oct/22
Tom Welling recently appeared on stage because he was cast in The Winchesters spinoff. He's noticeably shorter than Drake Roger who only puts 6'3 on his resume (could be underselling himself?). Like I've always said, he's 6ft2. Click Here
Editor Rob
A fraction disadvantage in footwear is likely with Tom.
Jolapizza 6'0 5/8 said on 14/Oct/22
Tall man. He has quite a large head so it might give the illusion that he's a bit shorter than he really is. 6'2 1/2 is fair. Honest claim here. He's in fact almost 6'3
Hyper said on 7/Oct/22
@Rob

For s$!ts and giggles, you should make a Mario category, starting with Chris Pratt and Charles Martinet! LOL!

I’m kidding! I’m kidding! My bad for the jokes!
Dauphine said on 29/Sep/22
Rob, do you agree Welling is lighter than Ritchson?

I think Ellis definitely edges Welling out.
Editor Rob
Maybe they are closer in weight, although Ritchson at 240 might have an edge.
Techno said on 28/Sep/22
there are more pics out with welling and ellis on instagram. welling def has an edge judging from some of the pics, he also has shoe disadvantage too imo.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 22/Sep/22
Ellis has a better shot at 6ft3 than Welling overall
Public Enemy said on 17/Sep/22
Him and Schneider are literally the same height today. Peak Schneider would have edged him

Hyper said on 13/Jul/22
@Rob

Who would you give the edge to? Tom Ellis or Charles Martinet?
Editor Rob

Tricky because Charles posture I don’t think is as good as Tom’s.
Andrea said on 10/Jul/22
Yeah, I've seen that pic too... If I hadn't seen anything else of Ellis, I certainly would have a hard time believing he was near 6'3, but look at him with Welling in the clip I've posted... Not only I doubt he's shorter than him, but I can believe he'd have the edge (especially since Welling often wore boots on the show, so he could even have some footwear advantage).
As I've said, I think it's just a question of bad posture with Ellis because while he can often look well under 6'3 in photos, when you see him on Lucifer with Welling and other people, he really doesn't look far off 6'3.
lucas d said on 9/Jul/22
Rob what about 6-2.75 for welling?
Editor Rob
Max I could argue...
184guy2 said on 8/Jul/22
@Rob @Andrea
There's definitely something off with the listings of Brandon and Ellis:
Here we can see the footwear of them together (and Brandon looking more than half inch taller than 6'2 Ramsey)
Click Here
And here they standing beside each other. We know the footwear but we don't know exaclty the posture and foot stance.
Click Here
Adding this up , 6'2.5 for Routh and 6'3 for Ellis seems a bit off

Andrea said on 5/Jul/22
They're working fine to me...
Editor Rob
Yes I checked again and saw the clip...they are within half inch of each other, I still think Welling might measure shorter than Ellis.
Andrea said on 1/Jul/22
Actually Ellis even called Welling 6'4 in an episode...
Here's a good scene of them: Click Here
As you can see, they indeed look pretty close, but when Ellis stretches up, I can believe he'd have the edge. In photos it might be otherwise, but Ellis really seems to rarely stand well, unlike Welling...
I mean, look at him with Routh here, who is pretty much as tall as Welling: Click Here
Editor Rob
The tinyurls seem to have issues.
Sree Smith said on 30/Jun/22
Rob,Tom welling and Tom Ellis in off script with Tom and Tom said "we're both six foot three"
Editor Rob
I think Ellis edges Tom, but I can see why Welling will round to 6ft 3...I believe his almost claim is the truth, whether 6ft 2.5 or 2.75 is the argument.
Vincent Caleb said on 29/Apr/22
Definitely a solid 6’2.5”
Leighton Tang said on 29/Apr/22
I thought Luigi was not short at 5'9 though. However, aren't there other instances of tall actors playing video game characters much shorter than themselves like 6'2 1/2 Idris Elba playing 3'7 Knuckles and 6'2 Ryan Reynolds voicing 1'4" Pikachu? Also, the actor of Mario was 5'4 in the Mario Bros movie.
Hyper said on 28/Apr/22
@Leighton Tang

It's very ironic. Mario is a short character but he's voiced by tall actors. What's next? Bo Burnham being Luigi? LOL!
Leighton Tang said on 28/Apr/22
@Hyper And now they're hiring 6'2 Chris Pratt to voice Mario.
IceCold said on 17/Apr/22
Batista isn't 190 cm. He is not over 6'2 nowdays
Hyper said on 16/Apr/22
@Rob

It’s really funny that a tall old man would voice Mario. You would think he’s not tall by his goofiness but when you see him in person at the time, people would be surprised.

If you were going to list him, I would think 6’3”-6’3.5” peak and currently 6’3”.
Editor Rob
Well remember when he first voiced Mario I think he was late 30's, and has kept up with that voice (and others in the world) for nearly 30 years.
Hyper said on 16/Apr/22
@Robbe

Charles looked more imposing than Welling. I was really shocked he would be that tall at an old age.

I would go for 6’3 3/8” peak for sure and currently 6’3”.

Same guy here with 185cm Stephen Amell, and Charles Martinet.

Charles is slouching there. He would most likely hit the 6'3 line standing tall.

Charles looks also taller than 190cm listed Dave Bautista, compared to Joonas Suotamo.

Click Here

Charles may very well still edge out Tom even nowadays. Ig he gets a page, 6'3 would be a proper listing i think.

Do you think Charles Martinet should have a page? If he has page, I would start our 6’3”-6’3 1/4” but I think peak, he more in Kevin Sorbo Range than a weak 6’3”. Even when I met him when he was 64 year old, Looked imposing in person.

He is the voice actor for Mario, after all.
Hyper said on 8/Feb/22
@ Ian Momo 'Questionable 5'10'

I really didn’t expect Charles to be that tall, even at 64 years old, when I met him. Yeah. That was my former username. I did meet Tom as well. Charles edged out Tom Welling.

Charles is the voice actor for the original Mario. I did measure 5’8.75” at night after being active.

In this photo he can be around 189,4-6 range IMO i thought he has slightly more than 4½ inch eyelevel (6'1+ guys mayority)because this site is using ¼ inch as a scale so 6'2½ the the lowest and 6'2¾ is too much,6'2½ no problem

he can look 6'3 when he was younger, hence the average guess is that high, but i think he's not 190 cm ever, 189-189,5 is totally possible
Ian Momo 'Questionable 5'10' said on 7/Feb/22
@ClarkB

I’ve also met Tom Welling. He’s more of a solid 6’2 1/2” like Rob lists him, but he was edged out by a 64 year old Charles Martinet (Original and Current Voice For Mario), who’s listed 6’3” on several sites.

I’m not sure about 6’2 3/4” easily, but I can see 6’2 1/2” easy for Tom. A 64 Year Old Charles Martinet (Mario) definitely edged Tom Welling out, in person.



Well, 64 y.o Charles can still have 6'3 pretty easily, maybe a bit closer to 192 cm when he stand tall and bust a gut , cause if you're 5'8,75 at your low, it means that you're easily 175 cm at noon, and you look around 5,5-6 inches shorter than Welling considering the footwear and the tilt ofc which favor you a bit more, but still, 60 y.o Martinet look taller than Welling easily, and i think the most Welling would look is 6'2 5/8, which i believe he was measured that mark on his lunchtime when he was younger

Ian Momo 'Questionable 5'10' said on 14/Jan/22
@Editor Rob well i think from other pic with other celeb, he can have 189-189,5 in his prime, maybe even measured the same as the average guess, but still didn't change my mind he's barely 189 cm in the 2018 photo with you
Ian Momo 'Questionable 5'10' said on 8/Jan/22
188,5-189, i would guess him at 6'2,25, he doesn't look 6'2,5 even with hat on when rob put the virtual mugshot, doesn't it's the time to downgrade him, Rob?
Editor Rob
I think his listing is ok
Original138 said on 15/Nov/21
Is it possible he lost a bit of height? He looks pretty tall in smallville.
Editor Rob
I think it's unlikely he's lost anything noticeable.
Hyper said on 14/Nov/21
Tom is this listing for sure when I met him.

However, he is shorter than a 64 year old Charles Martinet in person. (Voice actor for Mario.)

Tom is really nice in person, though.

yeah again you could seem within that 9-9.5 range, so it's no surprise you said you measured a bit over 5ft 9
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 31/Oct/21
I think Dean was 190lbs when he played Superman...today looks nearer 220lbs. Welling could be 230-235lbs now and in Smallville days a lean 215lbs? Brandon Routh still looks the same as when he played Superman (about 215lbs as well), hasn't packed on the pounds and he's about the same age as Tom
Arch Stanton said on 29/Oct/21
Click Here He's packed on the timber, Cain does look 16 atone something there I'd say.

Tom looks around 230, Cain looks nearer 215 to me. I mean Cain has always been a well built guy but for his height he looks much lighter than our Alex does.

Sorry, I meant to say that Dean Cain said Tom Welling is 240, not that he weighs 240.

Justin Hartley stated in an interview that Tom is an inch taller and 35 lbs heavier than he is. Do you agree?
Editor Rob
They are very close in height in person...I would never guess as far apart as an inch.

Maybe though he really does feel Tom is an inch taller than himself...
Andrea said on 13/Aug/21
Hey Lorneee! What's up? I remember you popped up on Trump's page nearly an year ago, but you didn't seem to "recognize" me... 😁 Hope everything is ok!
I was wondering when you would notice Rob's photo with Tom... I think that overall 6'2.5 is a good fit, although he could certainly pull off 6'3 on Smallville (with his boots).
And yeah, now that he is down at 6'2.5, the full 6'3 is even harder to believe for John!
Lorne??? said on 31/Jul/21
Hey you finally got a pic with him Rob!

How did Andrea take the downgrade? Does he even post anymore?

I will say it is hard to.imagine Schneider at the full 190.5cm if.Tom is 189cm range rather than his previous 190cm listing

Good catch though
viper said on 28/Jul/21
Welling is 6-2 1/4 imo
Anonnymous said on 28/Jul/21
Brandon Routh or Tom Welling? Who do you think is the tallest out of the two, Rob? I just can't figure it out as Routh is slouching in all those photos of them together.
Editor Rob
I think around same height if measured...who might have a mm or 2 on the other I don't know, but I do remember seeing Routh with thinner sneakers one time and he seemed at most 6ft 2 due to that...
ChaosControl said on 24/Jul/21
@Bobbyh I’m 6’2.5 myself and unless I’m in boots I’m not gonna get to 6’4. However I’m at a half inch mark and rounding up that half gets 6’3, which is what I tend to measure in the morning. That said I am kinda struggling to see 6’2.5 for Tom here, especially given that with better posture than Rob he still doesn’t look 6.5 inches taller. I’ll put 6’2 for now
Bobbyh3342 said on 22/Jul/21
chaos control you are spot on,, saying your almost 6'3means ,barefoot 6'2 to 6 1.75, and thats what this guy looks, but with shoes he is almost 6'3, but if he was a genuine 6.2.5 62.75 like he claims than he would be 6'4 in shoes,,,,,and he does not look like that
ChaosControl 6'2.50 said on 4/Jul/21
BalticGuy said on 3/Jul/21
"I'm almost 6'3" translates to "I'm 6'2" maybe without shoes". Looks 6'2"ish if you're 5'8".

Mickie said on 28/Apr/21
By the same token I know it is possible to lose disc height by 50, my grandfather did but he was an overweight smoker who messed up his back doing manual labor for a long time. Not everyone shrinks like that.
viper said on 25/Apr/21
Yep, so many havnt actually lost height, just poorer posture
Mickie said on 23/Apr/21
@ Viper - my dad didn't lose a mm of height either until he was in his 60s, and even then it was probably only due to poorer posture rather than spinal degeneration (if you look up the posture of people with Parkinson's, it would clarify what I mean). I'm in my 30s and I'll be disappointed if I start slipping early lol. I think some people who post on celebheights underestimate the possibility of maintaining your peak height to older ages.
Hyper said on 15/Apr/21
@viper

That’s good your uncle maintained that stature.

However, generally, shrinkage can happen. Rory McCann Broke multiple bones during a rock climbing accident. Christopher Lee was nearly killed in World War 2, many times, before he even started his acting career. (I don’t know if he lost height but I assume he did, considering World War 2 isn’t to be scoff at for injuries or deaths. Lee was involved in a Plane Crash, during World War 2.) Those are examples.

@Canson

6’4” is ridiculous for Tom. 6’2 5/8” is arguable. He didn’t seem less than 6’2.5” at 3:30 pm.

Kane is a different story though. There’s no bloody way he’s under 6’6” as Pierre likes to believe, even when I saw Kane in person. He never was as a short as 6’5”. Currently, He would easily beat out someone like Rob Gronk or Dennis Rodman. At peak, he was definitely as least a strong 6’7”.

Everyone that knows Tom has said he's at least 6,4. I've met him and he was a giant. And it's no secret of other famous people saying was a big man he is.

Tom himself only claims to be almost 6’3” and Rob and Hyper have pictures with him and he looks around his listed 6’2.5”. People saying he is 6’4” are clueless about height. Maybe because other 6’2” range guys claim to be 6’4” (almost 6’4 in shoes)

Your dad did well to maintain height.

@Canson and @Rob

For the average Joe, I was curious because Charles is not any shorter than Tom Welling and would’ve edged him out, even at age 64 at the time. I couldn’t say his prime size was but I would rule out 6’2.25” for sure. I definitely believe Charles was at least 6’3” when he was younger.

Editor Rob
I think sitting at a computer or desk isn't great for our posture and might contribute to some loss as we near 60.

But some lifestyles and exercise/stretch regime's can stave off losses.

Yes, Tom and my husband are the same height. We saw Tom in Vancouver fan expo 2020. He is a very nice guy. My husband weighed about 156 pounds then and looked very small across to tom. How much does tom weigh, what do you think, Rob ?
Do not ask me about the photos, after moving several times, they can no longer be found either, it frustrates me extremely :-(.
Editor Rob
more than a few pounds over 200
Hyper said on 13/Mar/21
Rob, for a normal person, how much does someone lose height at 64 or in the mid sixties?

I feel Charles Martinet was really 6’3”-6’3.5” when he was younger because he did edge out Tom Welling when I met them in person.

Plus, Charles doesn’t seem like he was in any weight training or powerlifting, per say.
Editor Rob
within 0.5-1 inch would be a quite common range of loss by 65. You do well to only get something like 1/4 to 1/3rd by that age. If you get 1.5-2 inches, that is more than you'd expect nowadays.
Hyper said on 12/Mar/21
Tom was easily this listing when I met him at around 3:30 pm or slightly after.

However, the Voice actor of Mario (Charles Martinet) gave a taller impression than Tom, up close, despite Charles being 64 years of age, at the time.

Maybe Charles Martinet was in that 6’3”-6’3.5” range when he was younger.

I was photographed alongside my 5’8.5 stepdad earlier today and knowing he’s about a half inch taller than Rob and compares similarly to me, Tom has a much stronger case for being my height. Not sure which of us would edge the other out
Canson said on 1/Mar/21
I’d say the listing looks good next to Rob or Hyper
it'smoe!! said on 23/Feb/21
@Hyper - who are you? Canson? I've never said Tom barefoot was less than 6'2. I'm saying that on his show, he likes to be the tallest good guy on set, and boosts himself if necessary. That's very common in Hollywood. A lot of stars are sensitive about costars being taller than them. I know plenty of actors who weren't allowed to be in movies or tv shows because they were taller than the star.

And get your arguments straight. You're claiming I undercut actors heights, while using as an argument a time when you felt I overstated an actor's height. For the record, Tim Robbins was definitely 6'5 when I met him at the Actor's Gang in Culver City a few years back. When COVID lockdowns are over, go to the Actor's Gang theater and buy a ticket to a show. You will likely see Tim there.

I’d lean towards a strong 6’2” with Rob. This picture isn’t the best representation of his height though. Solid to strong 6’2.5” is the range I believe he would fall in.
ChaosControl 6'2 1/2 said on 5/Feb/21

Ah. Moe.

The person who thinks Tim Robbins is 6’6” or over 6’5” while a current 6’5.5” James Cromwell is taller than Tim Robbins.

Tom certainly didn’t wear lifts when I met him.

Rob, when you met Tom, you’re 100 positive he didn’t wear lifts like Wladimir Klitschko? LOL.
it'smoe!! said on 30/Jan/21
I guarantee you that Tom Welling wears lifts on his shows. He just did a show with Brendan Fraser called the Professionals, and his height is all over the place, sometimes looking the same height as Brendan and sometimes up to two inches taller! It's simple. Tom like to be the tallest guy onset, because then he looks like the hero. Which means if another tall guy shows up, Tom has to do what he can to look taller. How "John Wayne" of him!
Hyper said on 28/Jan/21
I can confirm he’s at least this listing. I saw him at Galaxycon. Rob, Junior, and Canson saw my pictures.

Although a 64 year old Charles Martinet (the voice actor of Mario), gave a taller impression than Tom Welling, up close and Charles is listed 6’3”.

Makes me wonder if Charles was at least 6’3”, back in his heyday.
Vincent Caleb said on 23/Jan/21
At least this listing
RJT said on 12/Jan/21
@Canson

I agree minimum 6'2.5", but still think he could be very near 190cm like 6'2.7" (189.7cm).

Look too close to John Schneider if Schneider was a legit 6'3.
Canson said on 10/Jan/21
He’d be a very weak one if he is albeit still in that category. He looks the classic example of a 6’2.5 guy more so than a 6’2.75 guy is what I’m trying to say.

Well, when asked who was taller between Schneider and Routh (not too long after he met them), Rob said that "both are real hard to tell apart"... Posture could well be a factor, but then I agree that 1/4 inch is more likely than 1/2.
What I don't buy is the "Tom has shrunk" thing!
RJT said on 13/Dec/20
Didn't look much different could cover anywhere as little as 1/8" to 1/2" though.

Rob also said John was taller than Routh that time albeit slightly higher footwear as well.

If I were to guess, Schneider was the taller one than Welling but not 1/2", only by 1/4". It's his posture that made him appear shorter often whereas Welling always stand straight like a board.
Andrea said on 11/Dec/20
I trust it too, but sometimes he gives benefits of doubt... Not saying Schneider is hugely under 6'3, but 6'2.5-6'2.75 is far away from being unlikely, IMO. After all, I remember Rob himself said that he didn't look much different than Routh in person a few years ago. And Routh isn't really much different than Tom...
RJT said on 6/Dec/20
I trust Rob's judgment. He actually met John Schneider and since he also met Routh who is legit 6'2.5", I'm sure he'd also list Schneider at that if he wasn't 6'3.
Andrea said on 29/Nov/20
Not the greatest pic to prove it, but the reason why he could look quite similar to John is probably because John himself has NEVER been a full 6'3 in the first place.
I highly doubt Tom has lost ANYTHING by 41 (when Rob met him), tbh.
RJT said on 28/Nov/20
@Editor Rob

Found this pic
Click Here

look dead even with John Schneider, both guys had similar posture. If you have met prime John and confident enough to list him at 6'3, younger Welling was at least 6'2.75".

P.S some may say Tom nearer to the camera, but look at their eyelevel.
Canson said on 21/Nov/20
@Vincent: agreed!
Vincent Caleb said on 11/Nov/20
@Canson: 100% agree, on second thought that is probably best case for Idris.
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 6/Nov/20
Jared Padalecki is at least 1.5" over Tom. Meaning could be more on 1.75".
Canson said on 4/Nov/20
@Vincent: Elba is the one I wonder about. He looked shorter with Melo. Looked 4”. I could see camera being a factor but I could see 6’2.25 for Elba too
Vincent Caleb said on 1/Nov/20
Brandon Routh, Welling, and Idris Elba are all accurately listed as 6-2.5.
Canson said on 10/Oct/20
@RJT: I’m thinking he was the prototypical 6’2.5”. He probably wasn’t the guy who dipped to 6’2.25-.5 range but a true weak 6’3” who didn’t dip below 6’2.5
RJT said on 9/Oct/20
@Editor Rob

Still think he was 190cm on the dot during his smallville years, maybe dropped 1/4"-3/8" range due to aging/buffing up since he seem to hit both the bottle and gym often exactly after smallville ended.
Click Here
Ben Calimer said on 21/Sep/20
Tom looks like he hits the bottle a little too often, kinda like Affleck when not filming. He did lean out a bunch for Draft Day
RJT said on 12/Sep/20
Height aside, he's aged pretty badly, look so different now compared to his 20s, I meant Kutcher or Brady is about Welling's age and while obviously aging, still look similar to their 20s.

I guess he just doesn't take care of himself pretty much after Smallville end, these days look buff but slightly overweight as you can tell from his "Chubby" cheeks.

Why don't you have picture with him in 2000s Rob? You have picture with Richston and Hartley?
Editor Rob
that was his first event in the UK. I think in person he looked fit and healthy!
Dream said on 24/Aug/20
@RJT

I met them around 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm.

I can’t say about their chin levels. I got a taller impression from Charles than Tom, even with Charles’ worst posture than me.

Also, in the third picture, he was slouching. The third picture is actually the first picture, that was taken. The 1st picture is the second last picture, where he stretched a little and felt more imposing. Also, the second picture was actually the last picture.

If Anything 6’2.75”-6’3” is arguable for a 64 year old Charles Martinet (Mario). In his heyday, I think he was at least in the 6’3”-6’3.5” range.

You can argue 6’2 5/8” for Tom, easily. I don’t think 6’3” though. Shorter than Charles.
Dream said on 24/Aug/20
@RJT

5’8.5”-5’8.75” at an absolute low. I had less footwear than Tom.

Charles had an edge on Tom, up close. He has worst posture than Tom, but he certainly didn’t look shorter than Tom, in person. When Charles stretched up, he’s more imposing.

The 3rd, he had worst posture. In the second picture, he was slouching but looked taller than Welling. 1st picture, he stretched his posture and he was more imposing.

Charles seemed similar to a current Lars mikkelsen. Tom wasn’t taller than Charles in person.
RJT said on 22/Aug/20
@Dream

How tall were/are you at that day and what time was it taken?

Any guesses on Welling and Martinet's chin level? Judging by your 3rd pic with Martinet, they look about equal, but in the 1st pic with Martinet, he did look fraction taller cause your tophead was further away from his nosetip. Who knows though, it might've been caused by Martinet tilting his head upward, but even if he's taller, maybe 1/4 or so at his current age.

I do agree that Tom is at least 6'2.5" and can creep up to 6'2.75" on good day these days, it's just that I think he was closer to that 190cm dot during his smallville days, maybe since he got older and buffer now, possible he could've lost fraction due to time spent in gym.
Canson said on 18/Aug/20
@RJT and Clark B: I would give him 6’3.25” out of bed like RJT mentioned and 6’2.5” afternoon which is the norm for someone that size. 3/4” loss. I agree with Dream as well as Welling looked about that next to Rob as well as Dream in the pics he posted after he met him
Dream said on 18/Aug/20
@ClarkB

I’ve also met Tom Welling. He’s more of a solid 6’2 1/2” like Rob lists him, but he was edged out by a 64 year old Charles Martinet (Original and Current Voice For Mario), who’s listed 6’3” on several sites.

I’m not sure about 6’2 3/4” easily, but I can see 6’2 1/2” easy for Tom. A 64 Year Old Charles Martinet (Mario) definitely edged Tom Welling out, in person.
ClarkB said on 17/Aug/20
@RJT, I'm guessing Amell is either tip-toeing it in those pics or wearing footwear that gives him a boost but he's not that close to Welling in height.

Welling is also known for wearing Vans or other flat/low-profile shoes at conventions. Also, while many men wish they were taller than they are, I think Welling dislikes being tall because he believes it has cost him acting roles. Welling is listed here at 6'2" 1/2 which I think is too low. Every time he's standing next to other guys that are listed at 6'2" 1/2 or 6'3", Tom appears taller. Also, I know a couple of guys that are 6'2" - 6'3" that have met Welling in-person and say he was at least their height or taller (6'2" 3/4, 6"3" or slightly more). My guess is that he's at least 6'3" (maybe 6'3" 1/4) or so in the morning and probably down to 6'2" 3/4 or so (at the lowest) by night.

Here's another pic of Welling with Amell that proves Welling is taller than what the pic you linked suggests:

Click Here

In addition, here's Tom standing next to Glenn Jacobs a.k.a. wrestler Kane who played the character, Titan, in season 6. Jacobs has been listed anywhere from 6'8" to 7'0" and Rob has him here at a peak of 6ft 7 1/2. If that's the case, there's no way Tom is 6ft 2 1/2. There's just not 5 inches between them there that I can see.

Click Here

Finally, here are a few fairly recent images of fans with Tom and John Snyder (who Rob has listed at 6ft 3).

I'm not saying Celeb Heights is way off by any means, but 6ft 2 1/2 is definitely lowballing Tom.

Do you think he might not have been standing at his best Rob? I meant sometime next to 6 ft 3/4 Amell, Welling can "look" only around half inches taller than him...

Click Here
Click Here

Could it be possible that since he got buffer and older, his posture got worse somehow? I might be bit biased as I'm his fan from smallville, but he's really near to John Schneider back then in 2000s, certainly closer to 1/4 rather than 1/2 inch imo... in some scenes Welling can even appear taller, depending on their footwears and posture of course.

I know this myself because I used to think myself as 6'2 guy, maybe 6'2.25, but after I improved my posture and standing tall, I can hit even 6'3 mark... at the very least 6'2 5/8, likely 6'2 3/4 to 6'2 so 6'2ish is my "relaxed" posture, but when measured, we're supposed to standing tall right?
Editor Rob
I am not sure (maybe it was mentioned before) what footwear amell and welling had at the event...but in person there's over an inch between them for sure.
RJT said on 10/Aug/20
@Editor Rob

Since you met both Welling/Routh in person and you estimated them to be around this level at afternoon, and you also saw my latest measurement which then make me wonder... Do you think I could be taller than even Welling/Routh?

My afternoon measurements pic in that comment was at 2pm or nearing latr afternoon, my stats was 177.5cm eyelevel/186.5cm hairline level.
Editor Rob
Last time I seen Routh he was barely over 6ft 2, however it was because he had thinner sneakers on. To the extent Zach Levi looked an easy inch on him!

You may well be similar if you photographed barefoot with routh/welling, I think it would be hard to tell any difference.
Slim 6'1" said on 9/Aug/20
i would say 189.5 listing needed much like brandon routh
RJT said on 29/Jul/20
Hi Rob, at what time was this pic taken?

Considering that you're supposed to be at least 5ft 7 1/8 or 173cm ish, seem like your top head is around his end of nose or a bit higher than that, which would make Welling at least in that picture equal to me in height around 6'2 3/8 - 6'2 5/8 (189cm-189.5cm ish). How tall do you think his chin level was? Mine is between 164-165cm. (5 ft 4 5/8 - 5 ft 5)

If it was around afternoon and you predict his height to be 6'2.5, then it's very possible he falls down to 6'2.25 /flat 6'2 or few mm under it depending on how rough his day is.
Editor Rob
his day would have been sitting and signing photos for the morning, then by early afternoon doing photosession. He may not quite be at his lowest, but if he falls under 2.5 it's not much really.
I'd have been mostly on feet in queues or helping serve people at a stall. Usually at those events, we'd get to the venue at 8am.
RJT said on 25/Jul/20
Hi Rob imo Welling is comfortably at 6'2 5/8 because he looks at least tiny bit taller than Routh in pictures shown by other users below, could be 1/8 or even 1/4 inch. Time for upgrade?

Ranking for 6'2.5 guys on your page list from tallest to 'shortest'

1. Welling 6'2 5/8 (189.5cm) very similar with prime John Schneider and Tom Ellis both whom you have at 6'3

2. Routh 6'2 1/2 (189.2cm) has lower eyelevel than Welling in those pictures when he was pictured together with Welling

3. Alastair Cook 6'2 3/8 (189cm)

4. John Krasinski 6'2 1/4 (188.6cm) looks shorter than virtually any pics with Affleck whom you have at 6'2.25

I guess I fall somewhere between Cook and Routh, same as Welling on a good day and shrink to Krasinski at evening. Flat 6'2 on rather rough day.

Wow Rob. 10,000+? That's more than I ever imagined lol! I'm sure keeping hundreds of thousands of comments would be redundant and storage consuming when many of the links are no longer available.

So this site must've always very popular even back in the 2000s! I imagine so, since discussing famous peoples heights can be a very interesting discussion. People like Arnold (Sch), Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt must've been very popular pages even back then!
Editor Rob
In 2004, well basically the last 3 months it started and grew, by mid 2005 it was picking up and in first few years a lot of comments.

The top 5 pages of all time on the site are still:
Tom Cruise,
Justin Bieber,
Arnie,
Brad Pitt,
Stallone.

Each has had over 2 million views.
Allie said on 16/Jul/20
Wow. I didn't know that Tom's page was once very popular. Over 3000 comments!

Rob, if you don't mind me asking, do you have a guess on which male and female celeb respectively have the most comments?
Editor Rob
Many of the popular pages have had more than 10,000 comments, but a lot of them also had comments deleted over the years so i don't know the true 'most commented' star ever.
Unfortunately link rot renders a lot of comments a bit pointless if the photo isn't there anymore...but dealing with that would be massively time-consuming...and only a small percentage of visitors venture into pages 5+ on big names, but they are saved for posterity sake.

This scene is from 2003 movie Cheaper by the Dozen so they were already adults

You think that's a legit 1.5 inches (4cm) difference?
Editor Rob
There was a video from years ago which was mentioned a few times, Click Here. You can see he was no less than 6ft 4 with jensen/tom in that clip.

I'm still ok with the 3 heights I give those guys, I mean there may be small fractions you could argue for them like Jensen slightly under 6ft and many would give Jared slightly over 6ft 4...

In person I'd stick with 6ft 4, near 6ft and 6ft 2.5 for them
Dream said on 20/Jun/20
@Canson @Junior

Come to check again and re-looking at the pictures, I think an old Charles Martinet looked more close to a current Lars Mikkelsen than Eugene Brave Rock. I remember my eyes being just under his shoulder level. (The height difference is similar to how Rob's eye level is just under a current Lars Mikkelsen's top shoulders.) I also remember my eyes level barely above Tom Welling's shoulders.

If you guys look at the pictures, my ear level reaches near Tom's chin, while my ears are well under Charles' chin.

I definitely think Charles could've been a strong 6'3", when he was younger, if not 6'3 1/2" at his peak. Even today, He's definitely taller than Tom Welling, as I guessed before and now.

Charles Martinet: possibly 6'3 1/2" peak, close to 6'3" today.

Tom Welling: 6'2.5" easily.
Canson said on 22/May/20
@Original Anon: that may be a low end of where he could be from what I’m seeing now. 189-190 range. 6’2 3/8-5/8” range is possible too
Dream said on 15/May/20
@Junior

Unfortunately, we can’t get younger! Wish we can though!

6’3”, today, is arguable for Charles (Mario). Maybe 190 cm, but probably not lower, like you said.

I remember I thought “Oh it’s-A-Mario! He looks awesome! Looks very friendly and happy!” And when he stood up and I got up close I thought “Oh S$&t! He’s tall!” Definitely one of the guys I didn’t expect to be easily tall, considering his Career as Mario!

@Dream

I wish i'm still 21 now, but it has gone fast like a train speed. 😂😂

Charles had also claim 6'4 so my guess he isn't a full 6'4 peak but higher chance he could be 6'3 1/2 round it up and still holding 6'3 now. Strong half inch edging out Tom is believable like you estimate especially an afternoon height is relaible which isn't much different thought another 1/8th lost through the night just like i estimate Tom could drop as low as 6'2 3/8 not buying 6'2 1/4 that low. I believe Tom gets 6'2.75" morning by his office that is why he claim almost 6'3.
Dream said on 11/May/20
@Junior

Hey Junior! I’m around 21, so you’re right! 😂😂

In person, I don’t think Charles’ shoes looked that big. I checked to make sure. His looked like a Normal Running Sneakers, while Tom has shoes that looked too bulky, to be small, in person. It wasn’t anything abnormal at all. Also, Charles has worse posture than me. When he stretches up a bit, he felt more imposing than Tom did.

Charles is 64 now and he would’ve lost height. I think he was at least 6’3” range, peak, If not 6’3 1/4”. Even without shoes and at 64 years old, He could edge out Tom Welling, in person. Tom is easily what Rob lists him, in person, but Charles is not as low as 6’2”-6’2.5”, today.

I also met them around 3:30-4:00 pm, so it isn’t a morning thing.

@OriginalAnon Welling did look at least this listing In person. I just think Charles Martinet (Mario) looked to have a comfortable edge on him, in person.

Around this pose, this is where I really felt Charles would edge Tom Welling. — Click Here

I remember Charles was standing the same as I am, but when he stretched his back up more, I couldn’t ever picture him being 6’2” flat, by any means. At that point, it was clear he isn’t less than 6’2.5”, even at 64 years old. He could still be 6’2.75”, today. Heck, maybe he’s still 6’3”, today. Definitely taller than most 6’2” range guys. I can’t give an exact measurement, but I rule out 6’2”-6’2.5”, for sure though.

Edit*

@Rob, @Canson,

I’m starting to think Charles Martinet (voice for Mario) is probably 1/4 inch taller than Tom Welling now.

Like here, with Tom Welling, my eye brows is barely touching his chin. Of course, my top head is over his nose, despite my footwear disadvantage. — Click Here

Here, with Charles Martinet (Voice Actor of Mario from Nintendo), my eyebrows are darn south under his chin, not to mention my head is under his nose, for sure. We both stood on one leg. However, I’m more straight up, while he’s bending his knee and he’s slouching worst than me. — Click Here

If anything, I think this

Charles Martinet: 6’2.75” (today), full 6’3” range (peak).
Tom Welling: 6’2.5”-6’2.75” range.

Feel free to disagree with me, but all the times I met them up close and examined the pictures, I did have a feeling an older Charles would edge out Welling.

I think the two of you should meet them, if you want to. They are great folks!
Editor Rob
Well I seen Tom more than Charles, but one thing is sure is that Charles probably lost height by now!

Thanks dude! I agree Tom Welling is at least this listing! Truthfully, the main reason why I think Charles Martinet could’ve been at least the full 6’3” is because he’s 64 years old, yet he looks at least as tall as Tom Welling in person, if not slightly taller. I could be wrong, but that’s my estimate.
Canson said on 28/Mar/20
@Dream: I must say Well Done! I had no idea that was the voice over for Super Mario either! He looks about what you said standing next to you. I can certainly see the estimate for Welling with you. Not 6’3 but 189cm range looks right. The pictures are awesome!

Dream said on 20/Mar/20
@Canson

I’m not sure he claimed a height, but when my family thought he was 6’4-6’5” range, I remember the top of his head and his footwear. I even looked at the height difference of Anthony Joshua and Rob, and compared it to myself and my neighbor. I was like “Wait a minute! This can’t be right! How is he only 6’4-6’5” range?!”

Heck, he even made my dad (who’s 5’11”-6’0”) look 5’9”. (Like how Richard Osman dwarfs Alexander Armstrong). He really didn’t look much different from Kane, in person!

I swear if he was 6’4”-6’5”, he has to be the tallest one, I’ve ever seen.

@Dream: wow and he still claimed that? Lol I remember a guy being 6’6 maybe once doing that but then I’ve seen a 6’4 and change guy claim 6’6 before too. I think inflation at any height is bad but when you’re over 6’0” it’s completely unnecessary
Dream said on 16/Mar/20
@Canson

Actually, I remember him having flip flops now. His footwear look at most, 0.1 inch, while I had near 1.5 inch boots. Comparing myself with my neighbor and comparing Rob with Anthony Joshua, my neighbor is at least a half inch taller than Anthony Joshua, despite the disadvantages he had, both footwear and posture.

He couldn’t be as low as 6’5” range. 197.803 is also too low. I would’ve thought he was at least as tall as Carmelo Anthony or even on par with Daniel Cudmore.
Dream said on 16/Mar/20
Truthfully, I think this listing is more than spot on.

Most people would’ve guessed Welling at 6’4”, but that shows how tall 6’2.5”-6’2.75” range people are. I don’t think he’s shorter than this.

At the same time, I would put Charles Martinet at least the full 6’3”, when he was younger. Up close, he isn’t any shorter than Tom Welling, even at 64 years old. He would be like a little taller. Both are over six foot two for sure.

@Canson

The neighbor of mine? Comparing the height difference with Rob and Anthony Joshua, He is taller than Anthony Joshua, even with footwear disadvantage (I remember his footwear being similar to flat flip flops or flat shoes, while I had boots on) and posture worse than Idris Elba. He didn’t look much different from Kane, in person. He had to be over six foot five for sure.

If he was only six foot five, Anthony Joshua would be 6’4.5”-6’4.75”. And Kane 6’5.5”. He’s really tall, but his posture is worst than Idris Elba and Paul Bettany. Not necessarily completely bowing down, but his posture is just terrible, compared to Anthony Joshua and Kane.
Canson said on 12/Mar/20
@Dream: wow. I always thought you were that height. I assumed you were a 5’10 range guy out of bed. It happens though. If that’s your extreme low it means you could be closer to 5’9” on a normal day, say 5’8.75-5’9 range. But, That one guy you said claimed 6’5 but was really taller? Was he actually taller than he claimed or was it due to being a slight bit over on your previous estimate?
Dream said on 12/Mar/20
Rob, based on the pictures of them i showed you, do you think Charles could've been at least the full 6'3", when he was younger?

I remember seeing his height being listed as 6'3", on google. At first, I didn't really believe it, but after I met him and Tom Welling, I could buy the full 6'3", in Mario's heyday.
Editor Rob
I think it's safe to say he was that range.
Dream said on 11/Mar/20
@Canson

It was self measurements, in the morning. I’m somewhere around 5’8.5”-5’8.75” at an absolute low.
Dream said on 11/Mar/20
@Andrea

Truthfully, Charles’s shoes didn’t look ‘bulky’ looking as Tom. It looked rather regular, while Tom’s shoes were quite bulky, which could add more than it looks.

I do agree Charles could be taller today, and definitely taller, peak.
Andrea said on 9/Mar/20
From the pics I've seen and posted, Tom's shoes look like a model of Air Jordan 1, which add just over 2 cms: Click Here . Charles' ones, I'd have guessed them more in the 3 cms range than 2, but it's harder to say...
That being said, I can see Charles doesn't seem a guy who stands well in pics, so even with more footwear, I can believe he's at least as tall as Tom, possibly a bit taller.
Canson said on 9/Mar/20
@Dream: were your 5’9.5 measurements self measurements or were they done at the doctor’s office?
Dream said on 8/Mar/20
Jeez, I typed like Mario 😂😂 Oops!
Dream said on 7/Mar/20
@Andrea

And yes. I was wearing red converse sneakers, that time. I’ve measured myself at 5’8 5/8”, multiple times, barefooted, with a measuring tape.

@Andrea

And yes. I was wearing red converse sneakers, that time.

@Andrea

In person, I don’t think Charles shoes were easily bigger than Tom. I think about the same. Tom’s shoes looked a lot bigger, in person, than in the picture. When I saw them up close, I thought it was difficult to Decipher who was really taller, between Tom and Charles. Charles shoes didn’t look that big, in person.

I have to mention a Charles isn’t a guy who stands with good posture. from a far, he seems a bit more hunchback, compared to welling, who had decent posture. At first, gave a Welling a taller impression, from a far, but when I got up close, it was difficult to tell who was really taller between the two.

Looking at the pictures, I honestly couldn’t see Tom as the taller of the two, but they were too close though. I could see Charles as the taller of the two, since Charles is 64 in age and could’ve lost height by then. Up close, I felt smaller next to Charles than next to Welling.

Btw, I couldn’t afford more than two people, at that time, so I was limited. Superman and Mario were the only guys, I was focused on meeting.
Andrea said on 6/Mar/20
That certainly looks a more believable range! 😉👍
I mean, to be honest, I wouldn't have guessed you over 173-4 with Tom, but if you are in converse there, 174-5 isn't hard to believe... Btw, from a quick research, his shoes didn't look big at that event Click Here , still bigger than converse for sure, but by no more than 1/4-1/3 inch I'd have said... and more like easily less than Charles' Click Here .
On a side note, it would have been interesting if you managed to take a photo with the other Smallville guys such as Rosenbaum and Glover who apparently were present too: Click Here
Dream said on 4/Mar/20
@Andrea

I used to. I was wrong. I'm somewhere between 5'8.5"-5'8.75" barefooted, at night. I'm a bit over 5'9" in the morning though.
Andrea said on 3/Mar/20
Nice pic(s), Dream... though didn't you claim to be 5'9.5? 😮
Dream said on 2/Mar/20
@Rob

I also found out Charles was in a movie in ‘the Deadpool’ with Clint Eastwood and Liam Neeson. Maybe there would be some interesting scenes with them.

Charles/Mario was a very fun guy though! He may not have been a guy with good posture, but he had such a fun personality, probably because of being Mario for a while. Still though!
Dream said on 1/Mar/20
@Rob

Like, here, I had converse sneakers while Tom had Nike Shoes. — Click Here

Charles has Nike shoes, but it didn’t seem as big as Tom’s shoes. We are both slouching. — Click Here


Truthfully, I have a hard time seeing Charles/Mario as low as 6’2”, even today. It was difficult to tell who was taller, between Charles and Tom, up close. If I’m just looking at the photos, Charles looks taller. Maybe he could be, but he’s definitely not 6’2” flat for sure.
Editor Rob
That's great you got them both, yeah I think they might be similar range.

Charles himself once described his height as being 6ft 4. I mean he could have shrunk by 64 now and have been 6ft 3-4 range peak.
Dream said on 29/Feb/20
Rob, I met Tom Welling in Galaxycon. You’re right about this listing.

Also, I also met Charles Martinet (the guy who voices Mario) and I was surprising how close he looked with Tom in height, in person, despite being 64 years old. I wonder if Charles could’ve been closer to 6’3”.

Tom has a bit more footwear than me and Charles, though.
Editor Rob
Yeah Charles is a tall guy, but I never got a photo with him as he is all over the place doing poses with people.
Jkiller said on 12/Jan/20

Just a question rob how much would you say he weighed he looked pretty buff in lucifer
Editor Rob
I'd say in person comfortably above 200lbs, how much is debatable.
Xpac99 said on 18/Dec/19
Batista today at 50 lost a fraction respect to young age. You could make finally a case for peak height 6ft3 and today 6ft2 1/2. He looks about the same height of tom.
Xpac99 said on 18/Dec/19

How is the difference in this pic between tom and Batista?
Editor Rob
Potentially Batista might appear taller, as I'd have said his posture was a bit looser.
Heitorsxxx said on 13/Dec/19
Rob, if Tom Welling is 189.2 tall, how much is the guy in this picture next to him?
Click Here
Editor Rob
Could be taller than myself an inch or so
Vsquad said on 10/Dec/19
Wow I'm surprised that Welling edged out Routh in that photo. IMO Routh gives a taller impression on his own than Welling does.
Editor Rob
seeing these guys together in person, they are for me too close to call...what's interesting is I witnessed with my own eyes Routh and Levi together, and Brandon really looked a comfortable inch shorter than Levi...albeit, Routh was in plimsole style sneakers so giving up a notable advantage...
Demon87 said on 15/Nov/19
You said that: editor Rob (at the moment i would have given bill goldberg the edge on tom)
Brock always looked closer to goldberg in fact you had put brock lesnar at 6ft2 1/2 at first and you have often repeated lesnar was somewhere in 6ft2 - 6ft2 1/2 range
Editor Rob:
(Goldberg and lesnar)
he's always been a guy who can look from 6ft 2 up to 3...in that photo maybe the angle might give him more than brock, but certainly he could be very similar if measured, 189 range.]
Tom Maybe is taller than lesnar, but lesnar half an inch shorter than 6ft2 1/2 guy is wrong
Demon87 said on 12/Nov/19
Who is taller tom or peak lesnar?
Editor Rob
I'd be surprised if Brock measured a big 6ft 2.5 range
Dave Riley said on 4/Nov/19
@Vtec is right. Tom Welling looks taller than Brandon Routh.

routh is closer to the camera and still looks a tad shorter than welling imo

between 0.5 up to 1 inch between them in person.
Xpac99 said on 21/Oct/19
How is the difference of height between mark henry and tom today in your opinion?
Editor Rob
In person at most 1 inch between them. Welling holds himself with good posture when walking and generally standing around, but Henry is up and down...I can see how he looks 6ft 1-1.5 range in quite a lot of photos

Who Do you think could be taller, peak goldberg or tom welling?
Editor Rob
At the moment I would have given Bill the edge, but now he's probably going to be looking up a bit at Welling. He didn't have a huge amount on Gustin in Flash from what I remember. His posture though isn't that great, never was.
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 18/Sep/19
@177cm You had mention cowboy boots thats the illusion he made you think of 190cm barefoot. Truth he isn't over 189cm a low.
thisismoe!! said on 29/Aug/19
@Vtec Do you have a link to the video with Tom and Brendan Fraser?
177cm said on 28/Aug/19
I met him at a comic expo. He was wearing cowboy boots which gave him some extra height. He looked like he was at least 6'4" up close wearing those boots. I'd give him the 6'2.75 he claims.
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 6/Aug/19
Rob, maybe 2 to 3 hour maybe you met Welling he could have straight away hit 190cm.
Vtec said on 5/Aug/19
There is a bts video of Welling and Brendan Fraser on Instagram and he definitely looks taller than Fraser.

If Tom Ellis was listed at 6'3" here appeared as the same height and sometimes lower than Tom Welling, shouldn't he be downgraded or Welling upgraded to full 6'3"?

Between strong 188 cm to 189 cm, yep, I agree with Rob, not over a 189 cm, he's like Brandon Routh.
Ian555 said on 20/Jun/19
Rob I actually think Welling could be 6’ 3” because every time he’s with John Schneider, he always looks he’s same height maybe just slightly shorter like in this photo here Click Here. In this photo with 6’ 1” Stephen Amell, he looks like a legit 6’ 3” with him Click Here. In this photo with Scott Patterson, who you have at 6 foot, Welling looks a solid 3 inches taller Click Here. In these photos with Tom Ellis, who you have at 6’ 3”, Welling usually looks just as tall as him Click Here, Click Here, Click Here, Click Here. In this photo with Kevin Costner, who is probably 6’ 0 1/2” at this point in his life, Welling looks a solid 2-2.5 inches taller than Click Here. So what do you think Rob? Is 6’ 3” possible for Welling?
Editor Rob
In person I wasn't convinced, and his almost 6ft 3 seems to be a range he measured. How much is almost though? Some guys go with 1/2, others 1/4, some even 1/8th!

Unsub 5'10 said on 13/Sep/18
Any chance of him being 6'3 out of bed?
Editor Rob
I'm sure there would be a string of women who might volunteer to find that out.

Haha,good one really.Would be funny if fans could help us that way.That said it's more than likely he cleans the mark,in fact he's probably 6'3.25 since a guy of his height will lose at least 0.75 during the day.
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 16/Jun/19
Tom head can't be 10". At most 9.75 inches and his eye level wasn't low set as 5" more like 4.75" on the dot". Height wise worst 6'2 3/8 not less.
Onabill Choudhury said on 13/Jun/19
Rob How big is his head? 10-10 1/2 Inches?
Editor Rob
At the very most 10 inches.
K.A 188 said on 28/May/19
6ft3 is 190.5 cm while Tom is few milimiters over 189 so he is on the lower side of 6ft3 or a very strong 6ft2. It's crazy...is been years people have been comment here about is height along with brandon routh who is very similar to him.
Although i doubt if he has lost anything but i stil think he was 190 on the dot during his early smallville days.
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 14/May/19
Welling peak weight is more like 185-190 range during season 1,2 of Smallville and about 208 now.
Nils2 said on 12/May/19
Well yes i picked the photo where he looked tallest. But out of all new photos he looks atleast 1.5-2 inches taller. And last time he looked barely an inch taller so i thought it was good to mention.
Nils2 said on 11/May/19
Hey Rob here he can look around 6'2.5 right? Saw a couple new photos with Amell where he looks taller
then last time.

Click Here
Editor Rob
You could argue 6ft 3 range (though in person he isn't that tall) there given he might lose a bit with a lean, but it could also be the photographer's position helps Tom's side a bit more.
viper said on 5/May/19
I was kidding.

But compare Welling to 207 pound Kyler Murray.
Velikisrbinnn said on 4/May/19
No way is tom welling 250 lbs. He looks 210 max to me in that picture
viper said on 3/May/19
Maybe there was a gentlemen's agreement with Tebow.

If he's 6-2 then he's the shortest looking 6-2 guy ever

GRIT said on 27/Apr/19
Is Brandon Routh taller or Tom Welling taller? I would bet on Routh being taller
Editor Rob
Both are shorter than genuine 6ft 3 people I feel, but then can look taller than 6ft 2...somewhere in between and within a small fraction of each other I'd bet.
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 22/Apr/19
People now keep saying Tom is 6'2 flat and there is no way Justin Hartley is taller than Tom. Justin had a quote about Tom got him a bit by height. On Tom Welling being 6'2.5" in person will be legit if Hartley get the 2.25" although he only claim to be 6'2.

Rob what's your height in cm? Google give me 172cm its that right? I got a fridge who has 170cm and it is below my nose level. How tall i can be
Editor Rob
5ft 8 flat is 172.72cm. At a small fraction over 5ft 8 I am right around 173cm.
If a 170cm fridge was just below the end of your nose, I'd expect you might be near 188cm.
brandon wood said on 8/Mar/19
He's 6'2.5 case closed. He's not 6'3 or anything over than that.
Nils2 said on 5/Mar/19
You can argue 6'1.75-6'2 with you and Stephen Amell. But then with other people, including people you have met he always looked 6'2.5 range atleast so if you think he looked over 6'2 in person it's reasonable i suppose.
I would actually be very surprised if he measured 6'2 or less.
Nils2 said on 3/Mar/19
If you are dropping height and he stands tall it's kinda hard to argue anything over 6'2. Atleast from the picture.
How much would u say u are dropping Rob?
Editor Rob
at most 5ft 7.5, I actually thought I overdid it. But I still don't think 6ft 2 flat for him!
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 2/Mar/19
@viper
Maybe your body type's different, in that you have a big upper body and small legs? I've never heard of a 190lb pound guy who's too big to wear some XL's. When I was 190, I even wore most L's fine. (LT to be specific since I'm tall) Now at 225 though, LT's are too small.
viper said on 28/Feb/19
I can wear XL fine. Just some brands really are more of a large than a true XL

Wearing XL at 225lbs shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Canson's 220 and wears XL fine according to him. You might be accustomed to wearing loose fitting clothing if you're 190lbs and wear XXL. I don't how you can't wear XL at 190.
viper said on 25/Feb/19
Christian I'm surprised you can fit into a XL.

Yes, XXXL is big but I figure Welling could wear them without it looking too big on him.
Canson said on 25/Feb/19
@Christian: you’re right. That is only around 6” in the pic itself.

He always looked 6'4" in SmallVille
Christian 6'5 3/8 said on 23/Feb/19
@Junior
Like Viper said, he's wearing a hat so it makes him look a bit taller. If you take away the hat, it looks just a 6 inch difference, like Viper and Andrea said. I doubt that Welling's actually as low as 6'2 1/8", but at least in the photo he sure looks it.

@Viper
Do you realize how big XXXL is? I'm 225 lbs and even XXL's are a bit big for me, although I have no issue wearing them. XL's are a bit more snug, but certainly wearable. I guarantee you that XL's wouldn't look ridiculously small on Welling.
viper said on 23/Feb/19
He's big enough now to wear XXL shirts at a minimum. XL would look laughably small on him.

He can get away with XXXL
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 21/Feb/19
@Christian Need to add another 1/8 more. Remember Rob is 5'8 1/8 at his low. Tom look 6'2 1/4 with rob but we don't know he could be taller in person or he had 1/4 less footwear than Rob.
