Jules said on 12/Aug/14
Jay Z is 5'11 as he looks it with measured athletes, even more evidence that Will is 5'11.

Will, Jay Z, and LL Cool J are all fake 6'1.5 listed guys who are 5'11.
James B said on 12/Aug/14
Avery was 195cm in the early seasons of fresh prince and 194cm in the later seasons.
the shredder said on 12/Aug/14
Guess what guys , my friend who was recently measured 6'1.5 in shoes is the same guy that said Will is no taller than him , so 6'0.5 , 6'0.75 is about right barefoot
Lillo Thomas said on 11/Aug/14
You said the same BS a million times James B. Repeating the same BS will not make it true. Will smith never looked 6'2 or 6'3 in fresh prince. In the first 2 or 3 seasons of fresh prince James Avery looked 3.5- to almost 4 inches taller than Will smith. In the later seasons the difference seem smaller , between 2-3 inches. Maybe james Avery at that point lose a bit from his peak height. Will smith is 6'1 max nothing more.
James B said on 10/Aug/14
Looked 6'1 (185cm) in men in black 1.

I have said this a gazillions times already but when he wore timberlands in the fresh prince he could actually pass for 6'2.5 or even 6'3 and held his own against 'then' 6'4.5 James Avery. In the first fresh prince episode looked like a typical lanky 6'2 African American basketball player. During the 1989-1991 fresh prince seasons avery was around 6'5 and he really could dominate will smith in terms of height. In the 1992-1996 seasons though James looked closer to 6'4 than 6'5 in my opinion.

He is shoulder to shoulder with damon wayans and Jay z. I still think he is not under 186 and to be fair he looks more than a 1 cm taller than Holyfield and in this scene he talk with uncle Phil and looks what he usually look in the show.

5'11 Max. Shorter than 6'0 Isiah Thomas on video.
the shredder said on 3/Aug/14
Yea , I bet he is no more than 6'1 , Martin Lawrence is no more than 5 or 6 inches shorter and he is listed 5'7
Andrea said on 2/Aug/14
I would bet my house on him being shorter than the challenger 8, who is not even 6'1.5! How much is the question... 6'1 is a good shout but his claims are quite hilarious!
MrTBlack said on 19/Jul/14
Yeah I agree not under 6'1". I'd say this listing is his absolute highest though.
Alex 6'0 said on 11/Jul/14
He's more than 6'0 that's for sure. He's not his 6'2-6'2.5 claim either. I think 6'1 is perfect for him.
184.9 on a bad day said on 9/Jul/14
@avery_t
I doubt he is only 6 ft. Look this video, her body frame is so long for a 6ft guy. He is AT LEAST 185.5

Rob, do you think he is only 6ft- 6ft 1?
I'm think 1.86.5 is fine for him.
Editor Rob
at times he can look like a weak 6ft 1 guy, but I think standing tall he's got to be in 6ft 1 range.
jamieorr4 said on 8/Jul/14
avery_t well if thats true then hes not a tall guy i don't considered a guy under 61 tall just my opinion though
Mike T said on 6/Jul/14
His son is probably won't grow much more. I bet ya that he'll be 5'7" or about 5'8". I went through the same crap. My mom is about 5'2" and my dad is 6'3" and I only got to be 5'8.5 (or 5'9" because I'm close enough to claim that.)
the shredder said on 6/Jul/14
My friend that is 6'1 said he is no taller than him.
avery_t said on 4/Jul/14
maybe 6 feet. Not 6' 2". I jsut walked past him and his family/entourage in the Battery Park marina in NYC. They were getting on a yacht (perhaps to view the fireworks). He's 6 ft tops. But He looks 37 and is in Captain America shape. He looks really, really good. But not over 6 ft. I'm 5' 7" (5' 8" in high tops) and he was 4 inches taller.
giulio said on 3/Jul/14
6'1 not 6'2
james said on 24/Jun/14
He's just underneath 6'2 with his shoes oon, so he's a strong 6'1. With them off he just surfaces 6'1. Therefore, he is 6'1 with his shoes off, 6'1/ 6'2 shoes on.
jamieorr4 said on 10/Jun/14
if will is 61 then i say jim carrey must be 6ft
184.9 on a bad day said on 8/Jun/14
He have poor posture. He could be 186 but no less
He edge out Evander Holyfield
He same height as Kevin Kline
with Denzel Washington and Tom hanks he looks about 1.87
Alex 6'0 said on 7/Jun/14
In a magazine I seen in high school he wrote down 6'3 so that's the tallest he has even claimed but it seems usually 6'2 he claims. Calling his height in shoes or just wants to say 6'2. Could be anything but he doesn't look a 6'2 guy for sure. I think 6'1 flat fits him well. Some could argue even nearer 6'0.5
jamieorr4 said on 7/Jun/14
sorry i meant to say his slim famer makes him look 62
jamieorr4 said on 6/Jun/14
61 at the lowest he is obviously a tall guy look at his built and his slim does make look 62 imo
the shredder said on 5/Jun/14
I don't think he is this tall. Martin Lawrence , Adam Baldwin , Goldbloom , Avery , Jordan all make him 6'1.
MarcusTheSwede said on 2/Jun/14
Its time to downgrade. Agree withg Peyman. Will is great but in every single movie especially I am Legend he wears thick boots and he is same height as Nadal. 185.186 at best. This is generous. He is NOT 187.
Gonzalo said on 2/Jun/14
He looks short next to Michael Jordan. Actors always look shorter next to sportsmen. There are plenty of examples for that. Will Smith doesn´t look 1´87 next to Michael Jordan or Roger Federer or Paolo Maldini. Mysteries.....
Peyman said on 30/May/14
6ft 0.75in
no less, no more
the shredder said on 26/May/14
With Globloom and Baldwin he is in boots and looks 6'1.5
Andrea said on 25/May/14
Yeah, and to be honest, he does look more than just 1.5 inches shorter than The Rock there... Of course, that is just a pic but as i already said in the past i really wouldn't put Will much over 6'1... I'd be shocked if he got measured near 6'1.5 by evening...
Alex 6'0 said on 25/May/14
Here with The Rock. Can't see any footwear but likely pretty similar footwear with minimal advantage. Looks at least 1.5 inches but depending how tall Rock really is. I have Rock at 6'2.5 and it puts Smith 6'1ish

Appe4 said on 19/May/14
He is shorter than 187 djokovic and very similar to rafa nadal. 185-186 for him. Time to downgrade rob!
Clay said on 11/May/14
Not much taller than Jackie Chan lmao? He looks 5-6 inches taller there.
runt said on 7/May/14
watching old episodes of Fresh Prince, I think some people over-estimate the height difference between James Avery and Will Smith because Avery was so imposing. In the episodes I was watching, Will's head is very high up and his level is always well above Avery's mouth RIP.

Example go to :30

That Glover pic is not the best , but Still say Will is not 6'2 , more 6'1
James B said on 17/Apr/14
Michael Jordan 6'5.25 (196cm)
Will smith 6'1.25 (186cm)
the shredder said on 14/Apr/14
that is over 4 inches in that pic.
Andrea said on 14/Apr/14
Oh, come on, he does look at least 4 inches shorter than Michael Jordan:

And Michael Jordan is not even a full 6'5, if i'm not wrong...
Will Smith at "about 6'1" is ok, still can't buy this listing, unless it's a very early measurement! He did look more than just one inch shorter than 6'2 McGainey...
dejavu said on 12/Apr/14
He looks less than 4 inches shorter than Jordan. 6'1.5 and looks it.
the shredder said on 10/Apr/14
looks 6'0.5 with Jordan
dejavu said on 31/Mar/14
He is clearly 2 inches taller than Tom Hanks today.

Lillo thomas says on 29/Mar/14
James b you are blind or a troll. 7 inches between Will and Michael jordan ? Yeah right . The most you could argue is 4 inches . I see less than 4 inches there. 3.5 inches max.

Maybe I am not great at telling height?

Are u kidding? There looks a good 7 inches between will and Jordan

LOL. Will's head comes above Jordan's eyebrow line. How many people have 8 inches between the eyes and top of head??

You could argue 186 but he really doesn't look lower than that. I think this is a reasonable estimate.
the shredder said on 18/Mar/14
Can be 6'1 .
James B said on 13/Mar/14
Rob do you think Vinnie jones and will smith would measure very close in height?
the shredder said on 4/Mar/14
To be fair they do have a few pics were he looks taller than 6'1.5 , like with Al Gore , but we can't see their feet.
Lillo Thomas said on 2/Mar/14
Sorry hakim fanboy but will is 6'1 at best. He never ever look 6'2.
the shredder said on 1/Mar/14
I actually believe that some see him 6'2 in person , it does not mean he is , I saw 5'7.75 steven yeun look nothing short of 5'9. But it does not mean he would measure that and Will giving off a 6'2 look in person might not be crazy do to his lean and slim body , on the other hand I just can't see him measuring the big 6'2 , I do not downgrade him just to be bias , He just does not hold up to taller guys like legit 6'2 or even 6'1.5. I know his posture is a factor but it is not just that as he looks under that even without the posture. There use to be a pic with 6'5 Vince and you can tell he was losing 2 inches at best in posture and he looked 5'11. Barefoot with Alfonso riberio he really makes that guys 5 '7 " look believe but he is not as he is shorter than Astin. He made Martin appear 5'8 , he just does not come as looking taller than about 6'0.75 , honestly.
hakim said on 28/Feb/14
he's 6'2", and looks it in all his movies and in real life. You haters saying he's less need to get a life.
Lillo thomas said on 24/Feb/14
Nope . He is 6'1 at best. He never look taller than 6'1.
Lorne said on 23/Feb/14
6'1 is arguable, but no less than that. He is a tricky one; at times really does look 186-7 yet others barely looks 6'1...
the shredder said on 21/Feb/14
My 6'1 friend said he was no taller than him. I was watching Fresh Prince a while ago and he was barefoot with Alfonso and made Alfonso look around 5'7
runt said on 19/Feb/14
Jimmy Fallon is listed at 5-11.5. I would say based on that, Will Smith looks 6-1.5 in his dancing routine as the first guest of the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
Dejavu said on 18/Feb/14
Will smith only looks shorter because he has poor posture. He is 187cm guy and I bet that he will be measured at 188cm earlier in the day
Lorne said on 7/Feb/14
Rob is right; sure, he looks 6'1 in some pictures, but other times he looks close to 6'2. I really think 186-186.5 evening is reasonable. The absolute minimum is 185.5, I just can't see less. He looks 2.5-3cm over Tommy Lee Jones, who I believe peaked just over 6 feet. He looks the same height as Jason lee, who to me looks a proper 187cm, and cannot be less than 186. And then we have Evander, whom Rob has met, and gives 186cm, with a minimum of 185.5. Smith looks taller, so 186-186.5, you could argue they are both about the same, with each measuring 185.5-186, but otherwise, Smith at 186.5 makes sense. Rob knows what he's doing. 6ft1.5 for Smith is fair. I'm still inclined to 186cm myself, but honestly, this listing is logical, considering that all good evidence points to him clearing the 6ft mark.
IR said on 7/Feb/14
I see only three inches difference between Will Smith and James Avery.
Smith 6' 2" Avery 6' 5"
avi said on 5/Feb/14
strong 6'1 at best
Lorne said on 4/Feb/14
I actually agree with that assessment, Maio...
Lillo thomas said on 3/Feb/14
Nope . Will is 6'1 at best.
tom said on 3/Feb/14
6'1"- 6'1.5", maybe 6'2" out of bed. 6'2" is a fair claim, but any more than that is transparently untrue. He's solidly taller than 6' but not by a lot.
Lorne said on 2/Feb/14
I'm sorry, but anyone who see's him with Evander, and say's less than 6'1 is insane. Not only is Smith clearly taller, his posture actually looks worse! Granted Smith definantly has footwear advantage, but still, he cannot possibly be shorter than Evander, who is 185.5-186cm. Therefore, Smith cannot be less than 6'1. Actually, even with 0.5in shoe advantage, he would still edge out Holyfield, so that would make him the 6ft1.5 he is listed. He would really need 2cm more shoes for 6'1 to even be remotely possible. Sorry, not buying the weak 6'1 for Will Smith, the guy is 186-186.5 evening.
FreddyKrueger said on 2/Feb/14
guys dont forget the 1inch rule .....substract up to 1inch from whatever height an actor under 6'4 or actress under 5'11 claims and you got their real height...90% of height claims by people, be it a celebirty or just your average joe on the street, are rounded up a little (mostly its 2cm thats added)

-will 185-186cm
-hanks 180-181cm

barefeet of course
Dejavu said on 1/Feb/14
Jay Z and Will Smith are the same height in full body photos. Maybe Jay Z will have a tiny edge.
Lenad said on 30/Jan/14
get smith and jay z standing right next to each other with same posture and Id put money on Jay Z edging him out
Dejavu said on 29/Jan/14
He has 2 inches on Tom hanks in full body shots
Lenad said on 26/Jan/14
I agree with seahawksfan
Ron said on 22/Jan/14
Certainly 6'2" he got some long ass legs so to me he looks even taller then 6'2" maybe like 6'2.5"
RealDeal340 said on 21/Jan/14
Just reading through some of the comments posted here...you cannot judge an actor's height from a photo. There's nothing real about Hollywood. It's all an illusion. If an actor or his publicist want you to believe he's tall, they'll take a "tall" photo. You must see them in person. Will Smith is not even 6' tall.. hate to bust your bubbles...
Lenad said on 21/Jan/14

187 cm? Don't think so, probably just out of bed

Late afternoon/Night height 185 cm, all the photos with 6'3ers testify that.
Lenad said on 17/Jan/14
he looked like a legit 6'1 on fresh prince. But other times he can look between 6'1 and 2 and sometimes as low as 6'0 but that's bad posture
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 17/Jan/14
Could look 6ft2 on Fresh Prince
Lenad said on 16/Jan/14
looked 6'1-ish like 186cm max on fresh prince i'll admit that
Dejavu said on 12/Jan/14
I think Will Smith is leaning more in that picture.
Lillo thomas said on 11/Jan/14
The rock isn't taller than 6'2.5 . Will smith look 6'1 at best with the Rock.
Lenad said on 10/Jan/14
there looks between 1 and 2 inches difference between them. If Johnson is 190-191cm then 186-187cm looks right for will
James said on 9/Jan/14
If phelps is 6'3 then will looks 182cm in that pic

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 7/Jan/14
Rob, doesn't 187-188cm out of bed constitute 6ft1/185cm flat for Will?

Really he should clear 6ft2 out of bed and drop closer to 186cm by late evening. Either that or his spine must be pretty short like mine.
Lenad said on 4/Jan/14
187-188cm out of bed rob?
Editor Rob
I think he'd be that no problem.

Will is one of my favorite actors overall and seeing the old movie he was in Made in America he looked 6ft1-6ft1.5.
Arch Stanton said on 2/Jan/14
Click Here Will Smith with 189cm peak Sidney Poitier in his 80s...
songo said on 2/Jan/14
Presuming will smith has a head about 8-9 inches long i'd say jaden is about 5'5-5'6 at the moment. Officialy he's supposed to be 5'7 though. For a 15 year old that's not massive but not small either. If i had to bet i'd say he will end up about 5'11 depending on his growth spurts, but then again it's pretty hard to predict a teenager's end height.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 2/Jan/14
Solid 188cm out of bed, possibly a fraction more...
cobra said on 30/Dec/13
too many people are using pictures with horrible perspective and angles(ie camera is to the side and the guy being compared to smith is standing a couple of feet away and in front or behind of him...not to mention they might be on uneven ground.

These pictures are an example of height van get distorted with bad perspective/angles:

Anyone notice the gap being bigger between will and James avery in the very early seasons of fresh prince?
Lillo thomas said on 28/Dec/13
Nope he is 6'1 at best . 6'0.5
Lenad said on 27/Dec/13
I think he's scraping 6'2 out of bed like a very solid 187cm. I could buy a full 6'2 out of bed as well. 189cm is pushing it
James said on 26/Dec/13
185cm-186cm before bed
Mathew said on 23/Dec/13
6'1" - 6'1.5" range covers Smith.
heigth said on 23/Dec/13
yeah if you really met him then he must be 5'7 - 5'8 just like i thought i doubt he is only 5'6
Dejavu said on 20/Dec/13
He is not that far off 6'2. Standing next to Nadal and Djovovic, he looks near 6'2.
height said on 19/Dec/13
he looks really tall , my guess is 6"1 FLAT could even be 6"2 . but idont think jaden smith will be more than 5"10 cuz of his short mother
Lenad said on 14/Dec/13
Probably 186cm before bed
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 8/Dec/13
Jon Voight can look 186-187cm a lot now.

Will Smith looks similar to Jon Voight who looks close to Liev Schrieber.
186-187
Lillo thomas said on 6/Dec/13
He is 6'1 at best.
Dejavu said on 4/Dec/13
With better angle, will smith has an inch or so on Nadal and looks similar to djokovic. He looks taller than a plain 6'1
Balrog said on 4/Dec/13
I think there is enough evidence to bring him down to a flat 6'1" but 186cm it's fair too.
Dejavu said on 3/Dec/13
He is definitely in the 186-187cm range but his posture is bad usually.
the shredder said on 3/Dec/13
I agree , it is not the best pic and Will can be the same height and this has nothing to do with will but I think Glover can be 6'1 , He looks 6'0.5 max with Rob and He does not seem to be losing much posture
Lillo Thomas said on 2/Dec/13
Lorne Will posture is fine in that pic . The pic proves Will smith is clearly shorter than 6'1.5 max Danny glover . The difference in reality is probably less than the pic show but it's clear as day Will is shorter than Danny glover . And don't forget Danny glover is 6'1.5 at best today.
Lillo Thomas said on 2/Dec/13
Rob should downgrade Will to 185 cm or 6'0.75 .
the shredder said on 1/Dec/13
Rob should give him 186 cm.
Lillo Thomas said on 1/Dec/13
Will smith looking shorter than 6'1 Isiah Thomas make more sense now .
Lillo Thomas said on 30/Nov/13
Rob maybe you right but the pic proves Will Smith is 6'1 best or a weak 6'1 . I'm saying that for years ! In the pic with Danny glover Will look like 6'0 flat but in reality he is between 6'0.5 to maybe 6'.75 max . Will smith is a weak 6'1 guy.
Juan Z said on 30/Nov/13
footwear of tennis players are more tallers. I think
Will Smith 6´1 (185 cm)
Rafa Nadal 6´0.5 (184 cm)
Novak Djokovic 6´2 (188 cm)
Dejavu said on 30/Nov/13
If anything Will Smith looked the same as Djokovic and edges out Nadal.

Lillo thomas said on 29/Nov/13
Will is 6'0 max next to Danny glover .
Editor Rob
in the image with glover it looks a bit of barrel distortion which might knock a little off the people on either side of the middle person (Glover). The 2 types of distortion.

that's also a problem sometimes when the photographer shoots vertically (portrait), it can effect or stretch the image a bit. All depends on types of lenses and distances.
Pleb said on 28/Nov/13
6ft0.5 max with a 6ft 1.5 Glover.

@Seahawksfan I don't buy Djokovic at 188cm, he is around 186cm/187cm if Andy Murray is 189cm. And Nadal is not 6'1 he is a weak 6 footer, more in the 5'11 range.

Here's the vid with Smith and Djokovic: Click Here Not the best quality afraid.

At 0:53-1:00 when the shot was taken, none of them were standing up straight, in fact they were all posing to be the same height, Smith had one leg in front of the other and was slightly leaning forward.

At 0:37 secs onwards you can get the best view of Smiths footwear, looks to be some Supra TK that probably gives less than the typical tennis shoe.

Also notice at 0:37 when Nadal is posing with Smith, he is balancing himself on one leg to appear taller... Indicating he's a shorter guy.

Dom said on 25/Nov/13
He got his photo with Nadal and Djokovic today in Argentina. Looked like Djoker had 3cm on him and Nadal looked the same height. I´d give him 185 these days.

Chris Brown is 6'0", an not a quarter-inch more. So, I'm glad you got your own photo with Will, then.
Dejavu said on 24/Nov/13
I am not saying that he is 6'2 but there are photos which show that he stands similar to 6'2 guys. I think he is around186-187.
Lillo thomas said on 23/Nov/13
The shredder . I say anyone who see more than 6'1 flat for Will Smith . Really need eye glasses.
the shredder said on 22/Nov/13
whoever sees him taller than 6'1.5 really needs glasses more of a chance of 6'0.5.
Dejavu said on 21/Nov/13
He looks the same if not taller than Jon voight in that photo who looks 6'2 these days

Somewhere between .5" and 1" short of Morgan Freeman, 1.75" - 2" taller than Tom Hanks. I see him somewhere in the 6'1" - 6'1.5" range.
Lo sgozzatore said on 7/Nov/13
Agree with Alex and Balrog, i think he might be 185-186. I wouldn't put him under 6'1 even if i wouldn't be surprised if he measured a bit under it...
the shredder said on 7/Nov/13
He said he went up to him and shook his hand , my friend is an extra in his new film " Focus " ... I asked him how tall he is and that they have a debate from 5'11 to 6'3 he said , He was clearly obvious not 6'2 or 6'3 , he said maybe his height , my friend is 6'1.
Mathew said on 6/Nov/13
Seahawksfan says on 3/Nov/13
Morgan Freeman: 6'2
Will Smith: 6'1.33 (not 6'2)
Jim Carrey: 6'1.25 (186 centimeters)
Tom Hanks: 5'11.5
Shia Labeouf: 5'8
Justin Bieber: 5'7

Bravo, I say he's right on the money on most of those! Bieber is the only one I disagree with, I think he's more 167 - 168 cm (5'5.75" - 5'6"). The others iced in right on the money. Shai *could* be a bit over that 5'8" mark, that's up for debate imo.
Balrog said on 6/Nov/13
Agree with Alex 6'0.75"-6'1" is my guess with Will. Could buy 186cm but 187cm I doubt it.
Alex 6ft 0 1/8 said on 5/Nov/13
6'2-6'3 for Will is nonsense. Id go with a legit 6'1 guy but at worst could be just shy of 6'1
Lillo thomas said on 5/Nov/13
The shredder whats the height you friend think will smith is? 6'1 at best ?
Dejavu said on 5/Nov/13
He looked the same height as Whitaker
the shredder said on 4/Nov/13
My friend just met him and said he was clearly not 6'2 , 6'3 range.
Silent d said on 3/Nov/13
186cm. Watched hitch again and the height difference between him and kevin james, is about 12/13cm.
Dejavu said on 3/Nov/13
He looked the same height as Jon Voight a few years back.
Sam said on 1/Nov/13
I agree with those who state 186-187 for Smith...that's pretty much what he looks pretty consistently.
Dejavu said on 30/Oct/13
He looked 2 inches taller than Tom hanks, who's in the weak 6'0 range these days. 187 is a possibility
richkid123 said on 27/Oct/13
Rob, who do you think is taller Gerard Butler or Will Smith?
Editor Rob
I think they would look pretty similar, so much it'd be hard to tell
Mathew said on 26/Oct/13
Anything from 6'1" to 6'1.5" range seems fine to me. I have James Avery at 6'4" and Alfonso Ribeiro maybe 5'5.5" - 5'6" range, definitely not 5'7" as he claims.
the shredder said on 22/Oct/13
6'1 flat is not insane.
Dejavu said on 21/Oct/13
186-187 I would agree on that. 6'1 at the very least.
Alex 6ft 0 1/8 said on 20/Oct/13
Usually he claims 6'2-6'2.5. In high school I remember seeing a magazine where he did claim 6'3 too! Id give him 6'1 flat though
Lillo thomas said on 19/Oct/13
Will is 6-1 at best !
the shredder said on 18/Oct/13
To be fair he is not shorter than Evander , but not really taller ... 6'1 flat minimum , 186 might be the truth ...
Lo sgozzatore said on 17/Oct/13
Yeah, with Evander Holyfield he can look a bit taller and Holyfield doesnt look under 6'1. Maybe 6'1.5 is not that crazy, but just think about MC Gainey, who Rob met too. Will really struggled to look 6'1 with him, he looked more than an inch shorter. I'm still sticking with 6'1-6'1.25, not over that. In any case, his 6'2, 6'2.5 and 6'3 claims are pure imagination
the shredder said on 17/Oct/13
Shoes height ... He is 186 cm , adds with 6'2.5 in shoes
the shredder said on 17/Oct/13
Shoes height ... He is 186cm , adds with 6'2.5 .
Alex 6ft 0 1/8 said on 17/Oct/13
Shredder, yea 6'1 for Will. Any of those 6'0 or even 5'11 claims are nonsense
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 16/Oct/13
@lelman: he claims his morning height, big deal. Its not his real height but if he did get measured at it barefoot then he's entitled to it. When did he ever claim 6ft3?
Dejavu said on 15/Oct/13
Looks the same height as Holyfield if not a bit taller
James Crowley Maximus Meridius said on 15/Oct/13
Hey Rob how tall will Jaden Smith grow too i reckon he will only too 5ft 11in i don't think he will grow to be as tall as his dad because he has a short mum he won't reach 6ft 2in
Editor Rob
we'll see, he's got a few more years of potential growth and seems like a good chance of very healthy/active upbringing to maximise his potential.
the shredder said on 15/Oct/13
I mean minimum 6'1.5?
the shredder said on 15/Oct/13
Rob , do you really think 6'1.5 with Holyfield?
Editor Rob
it's not improbable
the shredder said on 13/Oct/13
Agree Alex , minimum a legit 6'1 , but 6'2 is too much.
Alex 6ft 0 1/8 said on 8/Oct/13
A solid 6'1 yea. I wouldn't put him under 6'1 though
Lillo thomas said on 5/Oct/13
Nope will smith is a big time liar . He is 6-1 at best . His 6'2.5 and 6-3 claims are funny.
Alex 6ft 0 1/8 said on 3/Oct/13
6'1 seems accurate for Will. Why be 6'1 and have to claim 6'2 or more. I once seen him claim 6'3!
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 3/Oct/13
Why are people so hung up about him claiming 6ft2? Hes pretty close to it and would probably measure it in the morning. Even 6ft2.5 isn't that absurd a claim. He'd easily reach that in shoes.

A legit 6ft1.5 guy could get away with claiming 1-2in more. When he starts claiming 6ft4 then people can rightly call him out on it.
Dejavu said on 20/Sep/13
same height as kevin kline who is at least 6'1.5.

I'd say more realistic is

Will Smith: 186 cm
Jim Carrey: 186 cm
Tom Hanks: 181 - 182 cm

Will looked 6-1 next to Jeff goldblum wearing BOOTS in that movie .
Len said on 7/Sep/13
Smith's 6'1" at the very most, even in his younger days.

There's some shots in Independence Day where he's standing next to 6'4" Adam Baldwin, and looks a good 3 inches shorter... and that's WITH Smith standing a bit closer to the camera.

Him claiming 6'2.5" is a bit silly.

Will smith is 6-1 at best . I peg him at 6-0.5 . Will is a tall wannabe guy because he is claiming 2 inches taller than his real height . Will never wear lifts yet he expect us to believe his insane 6-2.5 claims . 6-1 is a weak tall height in the USA . 6-2 is the beginning of strong tall in the USA . To many people 6-1 is tall and I can grant this . Will is shorter than legit 6-1 Isiah Thomas anyways .

I think once your past 0.25 in over a mark its ok to claim the next inch , Will is probably 6'1 3/8-6'1.5 so claiming 6'2 is easier but 6'2.5 is pushing
Lo said on 4/Aug/13
Lol Will, the 6' 2 was pushing it , 6'2.5??? Come on man, even in shoes you wouldn't clear 189cm! Maybe it's Timberland height? But in all seriousness, 6'2.5 is a bad punch line, but so is less than 6'1. I give him 186cm, can look 6'1 or 6'1.5, 186 is fair.
MarcusTheSwede said on 3/Aug/13
I Think this listing needs a edit. If you look at Movie I am Legend where he stands next to Alice Braga(Anna in Movie)(also listed here at 160cm)
I Think if you all look when they are standing together...and he is wearing shoes..he is not a full 6ft 1.5in ...Alice Braga is only 160cm...Will is tall but not 187cm..not a chance look at Movie when they stand together.
Id say 185-186 maximum. Look at Movie evidence.
Thanks for great site.

186cm is good for him.

A 6-1 guy who for some reason thinks he needs to claim to be taller.

It's strange that he's insecure about this... 6-1 is plenty tall for any line of work except the NBA or professional volleyball.
Lillo Thomas said on 14/Jul/13
Protip for will smith . If you want to look near your insane claims . You should start wearing lifts !
Rey said on 13/Jul/13
The photo with Evander Holyfield. The former boxing champ was never 6' 2"--not even 6'1". At best, 6' 1/4". I have seen him and shook his hand. It makes sense that Will Smith had some height on him.
Sam said on 12/Jul/13
No pictures of them next to each other, but Jemaine Clement (described as 6'1" or 6'2" on Flight of the Conchords) looks taller than the reporter in this clip while Smith looks to be maybe a smidge shorter.

Arch stanton Will is a tall wannabe guy because he is claiming 2 inches taller than his real height . He once claim 6-3 ! 6-1 is a weak tall height . Will should wear lifts to look near his insane claims .
Arch Stanton said on 1/Jul/13
Lillo, Will Smith IS a tall guy, even if he isn't 6 ft 3. Hardly a tall wannabee like Vin Diesel is he. I believe that he was measured at 189 in shoes so barefoot he's 186-7.
Lillo Thomas said on 27/Jun/13
That's right shredder . Will smith is a tall wannabe guy . He is 6-1 at best .

Lillo Thomas says on 20/Jun/13
6-2.5 tall will smith is hilarious . He is 6-1 at best .

Not if you consider that he was measured in dress shoes at 189cm cm. Barefoot say 6'1.25" and in shoes 6'2.25",so if he started saying 6'2.5" it is very possible he genuinely got measured at around the 189 mark. Ben Affleck claims 6'3.5", which again I believe he was genuinely measured at that but in shoes. Majority of celebs claim shoe height.Liam Hemsworth has claimed 6'4" or 6'4.5", again a shoe measurement.
Lillo Thomas said on 22/Jun/13
Will smith at 6-2.5 would make Martin at very least 5-8.5 ! Maybe 5-9 ! Shredder.

You guys are ridiculous. Jaden Smith is 14 and 5'6, he has seven years to grow to his dad's height. 6'2.5

To me, he looks 5'5 max plus he also looks like he's well into puberty. I don't think he will grow taller than 5'9. I was a late boomer and I didn't have my growth spurt before 15 and I was 5'4.5 at 14. Today I'm 5'11.5 but considering his early growth spurt it is extremely unlikely that he will ever reach 6'2 but I will hope for him that he will
Silent D said on 18/Jun/13
He doesn't look 6 foot 2 next to martin lawrence. Maybe close to 6 foot 1. 186cm might be right. In enemy of the state, he looked about the same height as gene hackman who is 6 foot 2. In hitch he was a little taller than about 6 foot jeffrey donavan. Next to jada pinkett smith, maybe 6 foot 1. 186cm.

on a Fresh Prince episode he plays basketball with 6'1 Isiah Thomas (the 90's Pistons player) who seems to be about 1 inch taller than Will. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTBFFTs11hw pic (not very good to judge Will's height): Click Here So i think Will is 6'

he doesn't look any were near 6'2 in that pic with Baldwin more like 6'0. Pheraps its just the wrong camera angle to judge
Lo sgozzatore said on 8/Jun/13
Will Smith can look 6'1 at best a lot of times, i agree. But he can also look a good 6'1, like 6'1.25. Not sure about 6'1.5, unless we're talking about morning height. One thing is sure: noway he's 6'2

Here is Will with 6'3 Rio Ferdinand (Man United footballer):

Click Here

Even if you go as high as 6'3.5, which Rio could be, it doesn't look good for Will. 6'1 at the very best and that's pushing it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

ferdinand is listed 6'2 everywhere. He might slightly over at 6'2.5.

6'1 laser measured ronaldo measures up quite well with ferdinand then will smith does. Ronaldo makes ferdinand appear in the 6'2 range. He is clearly between 1-2 inches shorter then lennox lewis and isn't so much taller then david haye. Ferdinand is probably in the 6'2 range and is listed as so.

Will smith is between 2 - 3 inches shorter then ferdinand in that shot, making will smith appear in the upper 5'11 range as some users used to suggest he was listed earlier on in his career but i'll just assume will smith was wearing flats in that shot and is probably 6'0.5 with ferdinand.

Ferdinand 6'2.25 - 6'2.75
ronaldo 6'1
lennox lewis 6'4 range
david haye, alot shorter then his 6'3 listing !!!
Will smith appears 5'11.75 with ferdinand but is probably 6'0.5

Everyone trying to downgrade Smith, c'mon he's easily 6'1"-6'1.5"

186cm. He never looked really tall in movies. When I first saw him in movies, i Thought he was 5 foot 10 but that was a long time ago. 186cm has to be max.
James said on 28/Feb/13
i still think will smith pulled of looking 6'2-6'3 range when he wore his timbs on the show. when he had on those shoes he looked in the same height range as guys like ashton kutcher and brandon roth.

i thought he could pass for 6'3 in timberlands for sure.


Of course in his movies i don't think he's ever looked 6'2.5 but closer too 6'1.
James said on 28/Feb/13
Same here arch in the first episode of the fresh prince he looked like your typical 6'2 african american guy. Gave me the impression of a lanky 6'2 basketball player.

I must note that in the first episode the of the fresh prince james avery did look slightly taller than he did in the later seasons of the show. So i think avery was 6'4.75-6'5 in the 1989-1991 season of the fresh prince and shrunk too 6'4.5 in the 1992-1996 seasons because he put on weight.
Arch Stanton said on 27/Feb/13

Lol at will looking 6-3 . He never ever look over 6-1 .

I didn't say he ever LOOKED 6'3". I'm saying that I believed that was his height when I read it without thinking too much about it.In the Fresh Prince I got the impression of a 6'2" lanky young black guy.

Just watch the 1995 season of the fresh prince and he looks a big 6'2 in timbs.

Taller than bill Pullman and nearly as tall as 6'3 James reborn in Independence Day.

Guess that is what army posture and big boots will do.
James said on 23/Feb/13
The only times he has looked ROUGHLY around 6'3 was in timbs during the fresh prince.

Besides that he has NEVER looked 6'3.
James said on 23/Feb/13
In a lot of his films he does not look over 6'1 I agree.

When he appeared on 'All of Us' years ago he looked 6'0.5 (I think that was because he was carrying a lot of bulk). In enemy of the state though did look 6'1.5.
Lillo Thomas said on 22/Feb/13

Do u agree shredder that in independence day he looked no taller than a flat 6'1? Heck even 6'1.5 looked a stretch in that film. No way in hell did he give the IMPRESSION of a 6'2 guy.

Forgive me but I actually once believed Will was 6'3" after seeing it on the database of films... I didn't question it, he always looked pretty lanky to me. I agree that he's clearly nothing over 6'2" but 6'0 seriously....
James said on 21/Feb/13
