Q: Why Celebheights?
A: CelebHeights documents what celebrities claim to be, offers our own estimates and provides a forum for visitors to discuss how tall they think any celebrity is. Visitors can submit a guess for any star, which forms part of an Average user Guess, seen in the comment section of any page. In 2011 I ran a Height Challenge, illustrating how tall people of various heights can look beside 5ft 8 Rob.
As part of running Celebheights, I attended conventions, meeting and taking photos with over 1300 celebrities for this site.
Q: What happened to Comments?
A: Apologies, but the submission of new Comments is currently off.
Voting is still active.
Q: How to submit your Vote (guess) on a Celebrity Height
A: From October 2016, visitors can Anonymously submit their guess on any Celebrity. Over time, hopefully this will help the site and helps visitors see the general overall opinion on any particular stars height.
Voting is anonymous (unless you mention your estimate in a comment), so feel free to add your guesses without fear or influence. I'm the only person who sees voting, so whether you agree or disagree, I appreciate your genuine votes.
On the A-Z and Category pages, there is a quick vote option - simply click the 'Guess Heights' button to get guessing.
Average guesses get updated every day. Sometimes quicker.
Q: How can I search for a star?
A: There is a search option at the top right hand corner of every page - it uses Google, is fast and as the 'A-Z' pages have gotten larger over the years, you're best bet is to use the search function to find any celebrity you are interested in. You can also use it to plug in movies/tv shows to find actors/actresses from certain shows of interest.
Q: How can I help CelebHeights?
A: Keep an eye out for any celebrity who mentions their height and let us know. Also, please help spread the word about CelebHeights by voting, sharing, linking or mentioning the site on your social media, blogs, videos or simply recommend us to others. And keep visiting, because without you, the site wouldn't exist, so thanks and I hope the site provides enjoyment on the occasions you drop by.
Q: How do you find heights?
A: I try to find quotes from stars about their height. At the moment there are probably 6000+ entries on the site with an actual quote said by the celebrity (or from their agency resume) attributed to them, a large majority of which I have researched myself, with helpful contributions from visitors. That doesn't mean I agree with all of them of course ;-)
Q: Are the heights listed with shoes?
A: No. Assume every height as though the celebrity was measured barefoot. This isn't the NBA! I make no claim as to whether any listed height is an evening or early morning one, but technically I think you are better off saying your height based on the time when people get measured on average, which obviously wouldn't be out of bed, but might be about 5 hours after waking. After you've been standing for 5-6 hours you won't shrink much more during the rest of the day compared to how much you shrink in the time period from waking up till lunchtime.
As of November 2017, there are around 5100 Male and 5100 Females listed, with an average peak height of 5ft 10.75 for the Males and 5ft 5 and 1/4 for the Females.
Q: How accurate are the heights?
A: Celebheights tries to build an accurate database, but you cannot rely on using official resumes or actors own declarations of their height, because invariably a good percentage might embellish the truth, give their height in shoes, round up or not even know or care. Height in many cases is a best estimate. Even if you meet a star, your own estimate might be off, especially if you don't get within a couple of feet and the difference in your heights is large or you're judging on the street where pavement differences can cause confusion.
Anybody judging height on streets will find it much harder because most side-walks/pavements are built with varying degrees of fall (sloping) away from the building. You could stand shoulder to shoulder on what looks 'level ground' but one person's feet are 2 inches lower than the other person's. That's one reason why I don't get street photos - they are largely a waste of time for height and I'd rather not pester celebrities in situations were they don't really want to be pestered. I only meet them on occasions were they have chosen to meet fans like Signing/Convention events.
Contrary to those who believe otherwise, the site has no bias - the purpose of CelebHeights is to try to guess what I think each celebrity would measure. It's as simple as that. Liking or disliking any celebrity has absolutely no bearing on what they get listed at. I may, for instance, not be a fan of say Tom Cruise, but I'll list him the height I think he is.
Q: What about the sightings on the site. Are they reliable?
A: A proportion of the sightings submitted by visitors to the site are, to say the least, to be taken with a large pinch of salt. Unfortunately anybody could say they've met a star...the internet is filled with untruths which is one reason I moderate comments and won't stand for nonsense. One thing I certainly don't do is BS people. All the quotes I've found made by stars about their heights are real, the 100+ heights I've managed to get directly from celebrities via email or in person are real (for instance when Lenny Henry said, "I'm 6'3". Hugh Laurie is teeny tiny -sleeps in matchbox" he really did say this!), and the encounters and resulting 1000+ photos I've shown over the years should speak for themselves.
I currently only show photos of myself or Jenny and a handful of friends. If you have photos with celebs you are more than welcome to link to them in the comment section, but I no longer host or promote other photos in the description section of listings.
Q: Who operates this site?
A: CelebHeights.com is owned and operated by one person since October 2004 - me (Rob Paul), the Editor. I only post and talk about height on Celebheights, my own Youtube Channel and occasionally Quora.
Anybody claiming or posting under my name on other sites will be an imposter.
Celebheights has been mentioned in numerous forms of media, including Online Media (like Buzzfeed), radio, TV (such as Conan O'Brien), newspapers (Sunday Mail, New York Post, The Telegraph) and magazines (like Esquire).
To contact me about Important matters only, such as bugs, corrections or image related requests, please email me in confidence: (RobPaul AT Gmail.Com). Sorry, I don't answer questions about your height, how tall you look, whether you will grow etc.
Q: Do you have a Youtube channel?
Yes, check out my Youtube channel for a variety of height related videos.
Q: How tall is Rob?
A: The lowest I ever measure with a flat floor/wall is a hair over 5ft 8. Out of bed I typically measure around 5ft 8.75. In any photo I have with a celebrity I am roughly 173cm (5ft 8 1/8th). I have worn a variety of footwear in photos, but will always mention as best I can, any difference between my footwear and the celebrities. As of 2021, I weigh 160 pounds.

Hey Rob I think your a awesome guy I am really fascinated by height in general and I’ve been a huge fan for a few years now. I love how you get the legit height measurements.. I’m 6’1 barefoot but when I have boots on everyone thinks I’m 6’4 lol crazy

Editor RobWith big boots I might even guess you as a 6ft 2 guy, but if people are saying 6ft 4, they may not be that great at guessing height!

Rob, if you had to separate the timeline of celebheights in to eras,
would it be like the big g era early to mid 2000s, then in between the Bobby era then this year the tarinator and bizarre measurements and more spreading outside the site than before? Would make an interesting video to do a timeline of celebheights like that. Hope you and Jenny are well.

Editor Rob2005-2009 was the Big G Era. Some of the original 2005 guys like Big Dmeyer/Alex/Danimal/Viper are still around and visit.
Could we call 2015-2020 the Bobby Years...I don't know, there's lots of interesting characters who emerged during this period.
2020-2022 is from my perspective the Wilderness years as I haven't been meeting celebs.
However, I did do a lot of Youtube videos in the last 3 years and of course other folk do stuff too.
Could this year be the WTF "Troll" year?

Hi Rob, I have a question as to why you include peoples height with socks, it is for definite that they will give an individual a couple more mm's of height which doesn't sound like a big deal. but in the case of fractions and whether a person is 6 foot and a half to 6 foot and 3/8ths (Big lewis 2019 "184cm" video), its a different story. Also for the same reason why we dont include height in shoes should apply to socks is because they inflate our height
in all of your videos measuring Big Lewis, Big Iona you dont seem to take sock inflated height into consideration in fact it is ignored. I can understand telling someone to take their socks off is strange and some may not want too. When measuring height, at the very least a couple of Milometers should be subtracted from their total
In the case of Big Al he measured 185.5cm (arguably lower because some dont agree it touches his head but rather skims his hair)
without sock height 185.2cm already falls under 6'1
Big Lewis 2019 measures 184cm bang on
without sock measurement most likely 183.7 or if we are being generous 183.8cm already puts him nowhere near 6'and a half but near 6 foot and 3/8ths region
as you can see with these examples it indicates that measurements are being inflated and whose not to say that is corresponding with celebrities height
overall I think without socks measurement is overlooked a lot within the community which is odd when it stresses accuracy. what do you think

Editor RobI'm not going to ask visitors to stand about barefoot for 15 minutes on a cold floor.
I mean I can do that ok for most videos I've made, but even Jenny refuses to do that! 😄
In any case, it's obvious since we pan up from the feet that socks are on. In terms of thickness, 0.5 to 1mm is typical. Really thick can be 1-2mm range, some of the winter woven styles.

Hello Rob. Can wearing lifts daily accelerate the process of height loss when aging?
Editor Rob
Hello Rob. Can wearing lifts daily accelerate the process of height loss when aging?
Editor RobIt could effect some of the joints or ligaments, so like with high heels, maybe raises the risk of some issues after many years of wearing them.

Hi Rob, I would have liked to know the difference in height that you saw in these photos, between Jean-Claude Gaudin and these three celebrities (Jacques Chirac, Alain Delon and Gérard Depardieu)
So what is a pity is that we never see the shoes, but consider that the ground is flat and the shoes equal. And with Delon it's complex because the two don't stand straight, but the feeling you think what?
This is to help me on my personal opinion on Gaudin's height, because I wonder each time if he reached 6ft at his peak, knowing that he was born in 1939 (so almost Delon's age). I wrote photos the year and marked Gaudin with the letter "G" in red to better find his way around. Thank you Rob 🙏🏼

Hi Rob, can elevator shoes actually increase your height by 6 inches or is it fake news?
Editor Rob
Hi Rob, can elevator shoes actually increase your height by 6 inches or is it fake news?
Editor RobYou will need 3 inch platforms at the front of an elevator to get 6 inches.
Now if you have 1 inch on the front of the shoe and a high angle at the back then you will get about 4 inches...which for an elevator is huge.

Hi Rob! Big fan of your work!
I wanted to know if I was a celebrity what would my height be listed as on here? When I wake up in the morning I'm around 178.6cm or around 5'10.3, during the day I drop down to 177.5/177.3 or around 5'9.8, my lowest was around 176.6 or 5'9.5 and I measured before I went to bed after a long day. For most of the day I'm around 177.5, is it fair for me to still claim 5'10 or 178cm since I reach and I'm over that in the morning?

Editor Rob5ft 10 isn't an unreasonable claim, and listing could end up with 9.75 or 10.
When you think about the proportion of people who lie or just go with shoe height, claiming a barefoot height you can actually measure is already putting you into the honest height crowd.

Hey Rob, love your site! I know you get a lot of these, but curious what you would list me as if I were a celeb. I’m 184.5cm in the morning, I only shrink to 183.5-184 midday. But at night I drop to 183cm flat. I generally consider myself to be 6’0.5” but also have a low eye level. I tell people I am 6’1” and they never question it because nobody who claims 6’ is actually 6’, most of the time I’m looking down at “six footers”.
Would I be a “strong 6ft” or a “flat 6”? Also for the record I don’t really consider myself tall, but I do sometimes get called a tall guy. Seems that one has to be well over 6’2” to be known specifically for being tall.

Editor RobDepends how tall you look around others or in person. If you had good posture there's a very good chance you'd get listed 6ft and 1/4 to 1/2.

Hi Rob!
I am totally unable to know who is taller than who, between the guy with the red arrow "G" and the one with the blue arrow "A". The one with the red arrow "G" does not stand very straight and the one with the blue arrow "A" is a little set back from the other. But in any case, the two guys seem the same height. What do you think Rob? I only have this really reliable photo, it's from 1986 and the two guys were still young to be able to best assess their height. They are politicians from Marseille, my city in France.
Once I saw written that the guy with the red arrow "G" was 187cm tall. Personally from what I could see, it measures rather a strong 6ft / 183-184cm but not 187. This means that the other must also measure 6ft.
Rob, based on your visual experience of seeing height perceived with camera angle, who is taller of the two guys?

Editor RobIt is very close, maybe G is slightly looser posture, but although being a couple of inches closer, this might not have much effect at all.
I would say it could be too close to call, but if you have several photos or footage, sometimes it can become more apparent just who might edge who when it's that close.

Hey Rob, what would you say is the minimumum noticable height difference to an objective veiwer among 2 people, assuming both of those two people have same footwear and like same hairstyle etc....? Also both between 5'0-6'0.

Editor RobSome people can spot 1/4 inch, but that is going to look very close even with ideal situation like identical posture/flat hair. 1/2 to 3/4 I think many will start to notice, and 1 inch should be visible if people look for the difference.

Editor RobIn my experience I didn't go below usual low last time I was able to test a situation like that, when I was having more disturbed sleep...however maybe some people will find they could creep a couple mm lower than usual.

Also Rob,
I being awake now for 4 hours (walking in some supermarkets) came back.
I measured exactly 189,0cm (its my lunch time height)
and yes I drop to 188,6 at 4:30 pm, 188,3 at 7pm, 188,0 maybe 10pm
189cm is the height I've always claimed.
I always stand tall, front measurement with a 9inch can.
IS IT OK TO STRETCH THE KNEES?

Hi Rob,
I'm curious. When someone measures their own height facing a wall, by holding up a flat object correctly perpendicular to it. Would you say they tend to over-measure or under-measure their height, and if so, by how much?
Editor Rob

Editor RobI think if done properly it should be close to accurate.
As long as the object is in centre of their head and covers the high point (a 5-6 inch long object isn't quite enough) then the only issues become if your object slips a little, or the floor and wall aren't quite perpendicular.
It has to be something drastic to get say a full inch away from your true height.

Editor Robgenerally if you are 6ft 2.5, a 5ft 9.5 guy is likely to be near your eyelevel or even up to 5ft 10, though of course it depends how high your eyes are.
If he was 5ft 9 and top of head near eyes, you'd have a pretty low eyelevel.

I mean sometimes 1 inch can seem hardly anything when talking to a person 1 inch taller/shorter, especially if you tilt your eyes up slightly and they tilt theirs down slightly.

@6'3 Julian DEFINITELY THE LION! If there is an animal who is prepared biologically and mentally for kill or be killed encounters is the lion. It is genetically programmed for fighting, since they are cubs they already are fighters. They don't care if they are to be killed, they never back down in those situations no matter if the other animal is super big. Regarding a possible fight with a gorilla (which is a tough opponent) i have no doubt the lion is the winner. It is like comparing a big 6'4 guy weighing 250 pounds fighting connor mcgregor. Connor would beat him without doubt. He may well struggle but in the end he will be the winner.

Thank you for your efforts, it's a fun site. When I was a little kid, I dreamed of how tall I would be, and my childhood 'hero' was John Wayne, I wanted to be as tall as him. Turned out, I passed him by about 2 inches. I'm 6'6" and have met a bunch of celebrities, working as a police officer and providing police protection at concerts. Barry Manilow, Crystal Gayle The Beach Boys, Kate Smith (very kind & nice - bodyguard for a day) and a bunch more. We were trained to be observant. A fun job, I rode motorcycles (traffic cop) for a living. Fun while it lasted! Thanks again, keep up the good work!

It might be a tie between Scorsese and Prince.
When it comes to significant tall people, he's hardly what you'd call a celebrity, but John Maynard Keynes is listed between 6ft6 and 6ft7. He might take the position of the most influential very tall person, whose notoriety wasn't a direct result of his height.
Talking about people, who have a page on this site, it's probably Howard Stern, though I'm not sure, if Stern will leave a big legacy behind. James Comey might be another pick.

Editor RobThere's nothing too specific, but I believe some of the height comparisons like with Lewis/Adam/Iona etc are useful starting point.
But there's lots of bits within videos, even the end of Big Rob Busted shows how 4 inches can seem a fair amount.
There's also the 1/2/3/6 inch height difference videos.

Hi Rob,
I am a male currently 17, turning 18 in less than a month. I am 5'5" and nearly 1/2. My mom is 5'2" and my dad is 5'7", and my brother who is 2 years younger is 5'10". I was wondering if I had a chance of growing another 1-2 inches for my final height. I exercise everyday and maintain a healthy diet as I am a competitive athlete. I started doing a stretching routine every morning and night, but I heard that it only increases height temporarily and not permanently. Nonetheless, I am doing it for more as an experiment. Your thoughts are much appreciated.

Editor RobIf growth plates are closed then it would be hard, but at 17-18 they may still not be closed.
If there is any potential left, maintaining exercise/stretching and keeping to a good diet is the best you can do.
I would actually put away a tape measure for 6 months and then check again in December.

Rob had a question a few days ago I went to the hospital where I saw a seca stadiometer so I decided to measure myself at around 2 in the afternoon and I measured 181 cm barefoot and 184 cm with Jordan shoes, the only thing I did was go up to the stadiometer at Tilt and lower the stadiometer bar until it touches my head if that measurement is correct? And if so, do you think that after 3 hours of getting up I could measure 182 cm? Greetings rob

Hi Rob ,¿Is reasonable to use the average of "Out of bed height" and "Before bed height" as an honest claim?
Editor Rob
Hi Rob ,¿Is reasonable to use the average of "Out of bed height" and "Before bed height" as an honest claim?
Editor RobMany go with that.
As long as people aren't claiming heights that they don't measure, and are saying a height without shoes, then that's better than half of people out there who might claim shoe height or just outright lie.

Hi Rob,
As I am sure you are aware the average height of this generation (born say 1990 onwards) is greater than that before. Would you be able to compare the average height of UK men (white) to men of the same generation in the following countries (presumably only 1-3cm differences?):
a) Russia
b) France
c) Ukraine

Hey Rob what is a comfortable height I could claim
I have a sonar stadiometer that triangulates and measures the top of your head without a headpiece. I installed it so it's very accurate I'm OCD
Out of bed range is 189.5cm to 190cm or 6'2.6" to 6'2.8" on the digital stadiometer.
End of day just about every time I do it, it says 187.5cm or 6'1.8" at the worst 187cm or 6'1.6" and sometimes the digital thing fluctuates between 187-187.5cm
A full 6'2" end of day is highly unlikely
Would you say I'm in the 6'1 ¾" range.

Most folk in your shoes are going to say 6ft 2 though, but it's up to whatever you feel comfortable claiming...just don't round down to 6ft 1, that would be dishonest.

Height is now a big part of my life, but as I've mentioned it has grown in tandem with this site. Running websites has essentially been my way of earning a living since 2001. I think the stats/figures aspect of this site suits me more than other genres.
I am still grateful to be able to work at something that allows freedom. And my parents came to appreciate that freedom as they've grown older, because I am able to help them out a lot.

Editor RobThis site is about 25 times as big as the channel so 95% of time is naturally spent working and maintaining Celebheights.com. Youtube is useful as it gives an outlet to host short mugshot comparison clips and sneaker measurement videos, though it prefers longer-form videos over short 30 seconds to 2 minute clips.
Nevertheless, they still display the thumbnails - which I'm in 😍 - to a lot of people, so it's lovely exposure 😉
And to answer the question - it helps cover this site's server bill, so that is a wee bonus.

Hi Rob,
I’m a 16 year old girl, I measure about 173.5 when I wake up and 172 when I go to bed so I think 5’8 is a pretty fair height to claim. My mum is 167 and my dad is 180 or 181, and both grew until they were 18 or 19. Do you think it’s possible for me to gain another inch or two? I’ve grown an inch in the past year, but I’m quite a late bloomer.

Hey Rob
I haven't felt like I've grown taller in the past 2 ½ years but somehow I have when it's very rare I grow and very little. I am a heavy set male with a large frame weighing around 300 pounds. March 2017 I was in the 6'0 ¾" range 184.5cm around 6'0 ⅝". I did stretches reaching up as high as possible and I could feel my spine crack and discs moving apart. I grew to be a cm or so taller being comfortably 6'1" 185.5cm and this was in summer and fall of 2017. For a few months I was comfortably that then I reached more of an 186cm Range. For the longest time I was that for a year at least. More recently I've been trying to improve sitting posture. I used to slouch completely when sitting and not supporting my back against the seat. I felt like there was something stopping me from standing completely straight in my upper back area between my shoulders. Now I can pull off around 187cm and a weak 6'2" range. I have a long torso so I have a longer spine. Have I legit grown or is it more so of improving back health?

Editor RobThe topic of celebrity height is a bit tricky - it's trivia/entertainment and so people aren't in a buying mode, hence advertising rates are never going to be as good as sites where a visitor is researching a product and in the buying mindset.
Comments do help - it means the page changes slightly with time, which can be a benefit in search engines. Also it allows an avenue for visitors to try to help the site. Keeping on top of 12,000+ entries is an ongoing task.
However some comments might not be so helpful, as brands may not like to be associated with certain topics or sites that contain content which they consider off-putting.

Out of bed I'm a just under 6'3" range like 6'2 ¾" 190cm
End of day most days is around 187-187.5cm
I can pull off 6'1 ¾" with erect posture but more 6'1 ⅝" of 187cm range on the dot comfortably. On a bad day with more compression maybe 186.5cm but I wouldn't go under that.
A 188cm 6'2"

Hey Rob did I grow or am I taller from better posture. I used to be 186cm to 186.5cm
I used to slouch and have awful posture sitting. Now I measure at least 6'1 ½" I honestly wouldn't go under 186.5cm and I am comfortably around 187cm. I can pull off a 187.5cm at the most with stiff posture. Anywhere around 6'1 ¾" and maybe 6'1 ½". What's a height I should claim? I say around 6'1 ½"

Editor RobI have never been able to decide on that site, because I don't know if I want to throw fire on a topic that is far more tricky than height.

I really appreciate this site. I guess I get on my wife’s nerves but I love being able to look up an actor’s (especially those from Hollywood’s Golden Age) height. I’m 6’2” and for years I heard Arnold Schwarzenegger was over 6’. I knew there was no way. Thanks Rob for all the work. I wish you continued success.

Rob, what's your opinion on taking human growth hormones as an adult (Early 20's). I don't want to become any taller, but I think I would benefit from overall better proportions. Do you think they can be beneficial or are you against them?

My father was 6'5''. I grew to be 5'11''. Not happy. I'm convinced it is mostly due to having a freezing bedroom with no heating, where my body was spending energy it would have done on growth, on just keeping warm. As most homes have central heating now, that would support this theory of mine; young people are becoming enormous. I had chest infections very often too, lots of time off school.

Rob, I wonder if you have (somehow) collated all your heights together and got an average for male stars, and female stars? Would Be interesting if they differ from the general population averages. Maybe a computer algorithm could do it. I thought I'd throw in the word 'algorithm' to make me sound intelligent :-)

I think the Male height is a bit taller than average because of sports and wrestlers.

Hello Rob I have been a fan of the site for two years. I am currently 17. I have developed an obsession with height. I am constantly thinking about my own height: how it is perceived and comparing myself to others. I also find myself analyzing the footwear other people are wearing. It has gotten to the point where I do not wear certain shoes (i.e vans) in fear of appearing shorter. This obsession is negatively impacting my quality of life. I know it seems absurd, however when I am with other people it consumes my thoughts. I am 178cm and no one has ever called me short, and I know for a fact I am not. Yet I consistently feel short. Have you ever felt this way? I know such thoughts are definitely abnormal but I cannot eradicate them. Do you have any advice?

Editor RobIt can become unhealthy obsessing over a topic like height. This is an entertainment site, but even I would say if somebody is becoming too focused and obsessive about height, maybe it's better to stop yourself visiting any sort of sites about height? Use blockers in browsers to help prevent yourself visiting.
I think there are more qualified people than myself though that may help with issues like acceptance and confidence, and trying to overcome the obsessiveness of certain topics like height.
Whilst I might guess how tall people are for this site, I am in no way judging them based upon it. I accept humans come in a variety of shapes and sizes.

Editor RobYes, if we become dehydrated, then the body needs water from soft tissues...the effect of bad dehydration might mean a few mm's further loss of height than normal loss.

Hi Rob, when I wake up and measure myself, I am 1.81 m or 1.82 m. I know that this is not as accurate. The last time I was at an appointment at the doctor at around 10:30 I was measured at 1.80 m. I generally say that I am 1.80 m. Do you think this is reasonable? What do you think is my out of bed height and the height I could claim or is it even the same? I read on the Internet that the real height is the out of bed height. What do you think about this?

Editor RobI would just claim the 180cm.
Although height first thing in the morning is a valid measurement, a lot of people never get measured out of bed.
If everyone agreed to go with out of bed, then that would be simpler!

The lead singer claims to be 6'4" but I think he's more like 6'2" or a bit under judging by the fact that he looks shorter than Conan O'Brien at 4:02.

Rob, after a day of very low activity, for example in cases of sickness, how much height loss can i still expect at the end of the day?
Editor RobSickness, which included a bit of dehydration might effect your ability to stand well for measuring, and possibly with the dehydration effect knock you down to an absolute low of 2-3mm less than usual.
I mean, when I'm ill the last thing you want is to measure. Plenty of rest, vitamins, water.

rob,my height is 183cm..is that perfect height for men?
Editor RobWell it's a height that is desirable by many who are shorter. In life, if you are 183cm you won't really have much height worries. If you are 163cm and a male, life is more challenging in terms of how society treats the shorter men.
For me, I will try to treat the 163 and 183 men the same - it's not what they measure that's important to me, it's what they do and say.

Hello Rob,
First of all, I want to let you know that I am a fan of your web-site (Click Here) which I visit on a regular basis due to the fact that you bring relevant evidence on everything you post !
Secondly, making the long story short --- I am 184 cm barefoot --- with a morning height of 185,5 cm and a night height of 184 cm - (my lowest night height was ~183,5 cm - that after a long hard day).
My family doctor measured me on the stadiometer at 184,3 cm barefoot (in the afternoon, around ~15:00) but he rounded me down to 184 cm barefoot for the medical report and even on a different ocassion, when I renewed my passport, I was measured a little over 184 cm barefoot (in the evening, around ~18:00) and got rounded down to 184 cm barefoot as well.
To be honest, everytime someone asks about my height I always tell my lowest - that I am 184 cm barefoot - and the funny thing is that people tend to estimate me taller then that - I believe many lie about their own height and inflate it by a few centimeters, so they lost the perception of true height.
And thirdly, I have a few questions for you:
1.) how much is my height - 184 cm - in the imperial system ?
2.) can I be considered to be within the tall range at 184 cm barefoot ?
3.) what do you think about claiming your lowest height, as I do ? is it closer to reality ?
P.S.: thanks in advance and keep up the good work, Rob !

Editor RobConsidering a fair proportion round up or outright lie, when they meet an honest man, sometimes they are taken aback.
At 184 you are a 6ft 1/2 inch man.
We all have a height range from first thing in the morning to an evening low, which at times might even drop a few mm lower depending on our hydration levels, and physical exertion during the day.
If you claim your low, it will mean you would be comfortable knowing that if you got measured, you wouldn't really fall under it.

Hey rob. I am asking this to clarify for everyone else and to clear this up myself. What does it mean if someone is listed in the half inch increment. You list people at 5'8 1/2" or 174cm and some of them look the same height as you or shorter. It's happened multiple times. The 174cm listed people don't look it at all. They barely look your height at the most. And I noticed 5'8 3/4" listed people look similar to you I can't tell a difference. When you did your video on measuring big Gemma she looked identical to you. Why do the 5'8 1/2" listed people look your height at the most.

I have stood next to multiple 6'1" guys, 3 to be exact. I was told I was roughly half an inch 3/4" taller than one of them, in flat shoes by the way. I edge them all out I am noticeably taller. One of them looks straight at my nose when we both wear flats. A 5'9 1/2" guy says he looks at my lips in regular shoes.

- Rob how much is height patterns influenced from siblings and parents? For instance if my brother and father had a trait in which they both grew 2-3 inches from the 17-18 period is it likely to replicate with me and potential family members down the line? Or is it completely random?
- Also how much taller is the average man over his mother?

Editor RobThe only effect is the genes from 2 parents, and whatever combination that gives. Randomness also comes in which creates large variations at times such as brothers being 6 inches apart.

@Mimi,I live in Myanmar. I am 5ft 7(170 cm) but I never felt short here. Girls who are taller than me are quite rare. But I sometimes see women who are 5ft 8-10 but they are a very small percentage of the total population.
In my university,the tallest guy is about 6'2,and girl,5'9.

Editor RobOn average you'd expect about 186 and 183cm range...but hairlines can vary from 3 to 5cm...with extreme of 6cm in some cases and receding hairlines like 1-2cm

Where exactly in Southeast Asia are you from? I live in the Philippines where women are 4ft11-5ft on the average. City girls are usually 5ft2 on average and me at 172cm or about 5ft8 is considered a very tall girl

Hi Rob,I have a serious question that I really need answer to, recently I went to measure myself on a digital weight-height machine and I've got 175 cm,75 kg and I was shocked since I measured myself countless times using a ruler carefully on a wall and always get 181-181,5 cm.
Same thing happened to my brother when he was about to join the army,he got the same height (also using a digital scale),back then didn't bother me because I thought it was broken or something.
So what do you think happened? Which shall I trust?...thanks in advance.

Editor RobI would always say if you have bought a tape measure and get a certain height at different points on a wall, to go with your own tape measure. If the measurements on your wall vary more than 1/4 inch, it's still not a big issue, I'd then average the two figures.

Hi,Rob.
I live in Sotheast Asia and in my country,the overall average height is 5ft 5-6 range for men and 5ft-5ft 1 for women. In the rural areas, it's about 5ft 4 for men and under 5ft for women.-
What height do you think should be considered 'tall' in my country, for men and women?
Thank you.

Would you say standing about a foot away from a mirror with a tape measure is a reasonably accurate way for one to know their height range? I tried this ( in footwear) and I was above 185 cm but not quite 186 cm. The eye-level etc logically matched up as well, however I don't think you can be more accurate (within the 1/4 inch) with the method. What are your thoughts if you don't mind?

Hey rob what should I go by for my claim and what would you list me as. I'm 18 and measure just under 6'3" out of bed. End of day I seem to comfortably measure around 6'1 1/2" 186.5-187cm home measurement. I've gotten 6'1 1/2" multiple times for a dr measurement end of day, as high as 187.5cm 6'1 3/4". I've managed that once at the dr. I've gotten as low as 6'1 1/4" 186cm but this is at a school nurse and when I was 6'0" even measured 5'11 3/4" on her scale. On my stadiometer which is just like yours I have no problem measuring around 6'1 1/2". If I vigorously do it a little under. I either get 1/4" or 1/2". I round down tell people I'm 6'1" but what cm and fraction range do you see me at.

Hi Rob. How accurate are stadiometers? I consistently have been measured at 183cm midday, mid afternoon with tape measures but I went to the docotors once last year with bronchitis and they took my height and weight. I had a full shift of work that day (on my feet all day) and the stadio measured me at 180cm.

Flimsy devices also could be error-prone and give fraction differences.

Rob,
I've noticed you are not particularly fussed with height claims (as long as one measures that height) however it seem your preference is claiming your low height (5'8 1/2) however do you think a lunchtime measurement is a more suitable when analyzing height, as national averages seem to be based on roughly a noon measurement.

Hello rob, I just wanna know an important thing which i thought you would have discussed but you didn't. IF someone stands with weight on right leg while keeping the heel of left leg slightly lifted, and he/she measures to be 1 inch more than when he/she is on both legs, similarly, if he/she is on only shorter (left leg), he//she measures even shorter than both legs together, so can the actually look like someone with higher height???? Can he claim his higher leg height as his real height

Editor RobFor any measurement, both feet need to be flat. Most people could shift weight onto one leg and gain a cm by rising up.

Editor RobIt helps if you see the actor beside other people whose height you already know - I've found that should get me within half inch or so...but somebody on their own, you might find a bigger margin of error could occur, especially the further away in height they are from your own.
I suppose one thing I've tried to do is recognise various types of heights and how they appear from my own eyes, like what a true six foot or six foot three person looks like. Having measured numerous people over the years, that is also part of trying to guess.

Very good perfect.
We had the opportunity to discuss about 3 years ago here, and I had (I still) the stadiometer you had before (mine was Tanita brand). I sent a picture of me, measuring the night very late and it was 5ft 9 ½ (176.5 cm). It is rare, because most of the time, I'm still smaller. The other times where I measured myself, if I follow your method, I do everything right 1 inch more than you.
Exactly 5ft 10 ⅛ (178.1 cm) a minute after out of bed, and 5ft 9 ⅛ (175.6 cm) before bed (few times 5ft 9). But most of the time, at night, as soon as I sit up in a short time, I go back to 5ft 9 ⅛. I said that I take always the 2mm of the stadiometer. I claim 1.76 m in general. Before I had claim 1.78 m (which is written on my ID also.)
In fact, I'm 5ft 9 ⅛ (175.6 cm) as you do 5ft 8 ⅛ (173 cm).
To talk about our President Macron, he himself stated on radio 1.77 m. It's all nonsense. But for him have often compared to others, I can tell you that it is not less than 5ft 8 ¼ and can sometimes appear up to 5ft 8 ¾.
5ft 8 is a bit short for him. Although voters have to say. People like shrink others, but experience, I've met people much tall than I thought when I saw the photos. It's even funny.
They are all larger believed comparing to photos or television. Very rare that they are smaller than we imagined. And this isn't a matter of point of view, it is exactly as I say. I was even surprised several times by seeing my sector policies. All were bigger than I thought. When I say more, this is of the order of 2 cm or 2.5 cm, but that's already a lot. You'll also notice that a person of the same size as you (same eye level) you'll see bigger than you. I never knew why.

Thank you Rob for your answer.
Funny coincidence, I just ordered one on Medisave.com.uk also. Actually the price is attractive, it’s true.
The only stadiometer is £44.95 (50.36€), unfortunately I have a shipping cost of £13.95 (15.63€) plus a tax of 20% to £11.78 (13.20€). It all comes down to £70.68 (79.19€). And this is perfect, because at SECA France, it was 138.00€ (£123.17).
I just hope, as I am in France, that they will not send me a model that only measures in cm. I prefer the cm/in.
I didn't register for the newsletter. That's what I'm doing.
They had to offer you a Medisave led pen torch / stylus / ballpoint 3-in 1. That's my case.
Thanks again for those details.

Because personally (I am French) I bought the same on SECA France, and I had to return it because there was a defect of the headrest that slipped, so impossible to check its measurement alone without a few mm get lost. It was the 213L version with integrated level, but finally I will stay on the classic version. Another clarification, as I am in France, the 213L that I had only displayed in cm and not in cm/in. It's unfortunate because both are perfect.
That's why I wanted to know what website you bought your 213 from. Thank you.
Editor Rob

Editor RobIt was one called medisave.co.uk, not sure about shipping cost to France, would need to check with them, but they are reasonably priced. If you sign up to their newsletter they send a 5% off coupon.

Editor RobIn some countries it might be, but in America or many European countries, it's mostly above average, but not in the tall range.

Thanks for replying so fast rob. The thing is that when I stand beside my mom her eyes are below my mouth. She is looking above my chin. I measured har 173.5 cm at about 3pm we had been awake since 7am. Then she measured me and got Only 177cm. Then I measured my dad and he managed to get 184.5 cm bursting the gut.But when I take pictures with him both of us can see that he is 1.5-2 cm taller than me. Not a Chance of a 6cm difference. And I look about 9-10 cm taller than my mom. I have a tapemeasure at work and I got up at 7.15 and measured myself about 5 min ago using a book and got 179 cm exactly. But when standing next to my mom my eyes are roughly at the top of her head. This is really confusing. I have 183cm on my passport because I was measured that at the Police bit by using a tapemeasure I Will measure 179 earlier in the day and 177 in the evening. What is nu true height Rob?

Editor RobI would measure yourself and don't rely on your Mother ;)
Find a wall, get a big can and pencil and just do a couple of measurements to see what you get on your own.

Rob I am experiencing something really weird. I have measured myself on several stadiometers. At the Police, university, the IRS, the Hospital and under every stadiometer I measured 183cm. But when I measure at home using a book and a tapemeasure at around 8-9 pm I Only get 177cm. I dont get it rob how can I get a 6cm difference?

Editor RobSounds bizarre, I'd look at the tape measure from the start up to 183 and see if there is a problem (or missing section, say a misprint or something occurred).
Or buy another tape and redo the measurement...if you still got 177 then I'd say the home measurement with another tape measure would be correct.

Rob I am having an argument with a friend. I say that ones height is when you stand at your absolute tallest.He disagrees and says when you are being measured you should stand relaxed and that is your true height. My dad for instance measures 181 cm relaxed and 184.5cm when bursting a gut. He claims 184cm. According to my friend my dads true height is 181 not 184cm. What is Ones true height rob. Is it when you just stand relaxed or is it when you stand at your absolute tallest ( bursting gut?) Thanks Rob!

Editor RobYour height is how tall your body is from the ground to the top of your head without going on tip toes.
I can stand near 173cm comfortably without straining because my standing height is quite close to my measured height. But some men might only manage 171-172, yet when measured be able to hit 173 standing tall.
I go with a height standing tall. Most people stand tall when they are measured. I've yet to see somebody go on my stadiometer and not stand well...not one!

Hi Rob,
I curious about where your interest in height comes from? I have Asperger's and one of the things I am aware of is the slight obsession I have with scale. When my young son plays with toys that aren't to scale with each other - a car that's bigger than a plane for example - I need to bite by tongue and just except that the toys not being to scale is not important to him. I was wondering if you also have Asperger's or on the autistic spectrum due to your unusual interest in height.

Editor Rob
Just to clarify Rob would measuring on carpet undermeasure by about a few mm's?
Editor RobDepending on the thickness of pile. Putting a tape on the carpet can mean it's sitting slightly higher than your heels (which sink in more), so naturally you can undermeasure.

Rob I'm sure you've answered this before but just to clarify does measuring on carpet under measure you? Is it better to measure on a hard surface like in the kitchen?
Editor Rob
Rob I'm sure you've answered this before but just to clarify does measuring on carpet under measure you? Is it better to measure on a hard surface like in the kitchen?
Editor RobYes, it can undermeasure you because your bodyweight means the heels sink into the carpet...then when you put a tape onto the carpet, it can't quite go as low as your heels can, hence a chance of a slight undermeasurement.

Rob have you read about that you can determine a person's adult height by knowing his/her height at 2 years old and multiply that by two (e.g. 2ft3 at 2 means he/she will be 5ft6)?
A friend of mine who's studying physical therapy told me that their professor old them about this theory.

Rob if you have the means could you have an archives of old posts(I would have loved to see some of the posts on the Andre page from like 10 years ago)I have no idea what it would cost but maybe you could do an archive page of the top 50 most popular people in it as long as the Andre the giant page is included,he is probably in the top 50 anyway.I think a lot of people would enjoy this,what do you think Rob is it feasible even.I have been posting here on and off since early 2006 and did at one point print and save old posts and I enjoyed checking to see how opinions changed and they sure did.I called out Veges because when he first started posting here he said he didn`t know if Andre was 6'9.75 or 7'1" but when I told him this months later he denied ever saying it,so it would be nice to have an archive just to prove what people said at one point in time.

[Editor Rob: the problem is I had deleted a lot of posts and trying to recover caused more problems, I eventually got back a portion.
I haven't dismissed the idea, but I'm not sure when I will get the time to do it properly, without it messing with search engine rankings.]

[Editor Rob: at 14, some girls will slow down growth and maybe not gain that much more. Sometimes it you look older than 14, that is a good indication you might be physically a bit more advanced and not grow much more.]

Hi Rob. I'm not sure of my height exactly out of bed but I have measured 184cm an hour after waking up and have had multiple measurements from around 1pm to later in the afternoon and was still holding on to 183-182.8 range. Does that make me a weak 6 footer? I always think I look shorter than I actually am in photos which irks me a little haha

Hi Rob, in the morning I meassure 183cm exactly. Most of the day I'm 182cm and sometimes i drop to 181cm at night. Would you call me a weak 6 footer or a strong 5ft11? Besides that, I have a friend who claims 6ft4, where would the top of my head be compared to his head? Really enjoy your site Big Rob!

[Editor Rob: a strong 5ft 11er I'd say, the top of your head may be roughly around his eyelevel.]

[Editor Rob: if you are physically behind the curve (like you seem 16 years old to people) then maybe there is a chance.
All you can do is keep eating well, exercise/stretch and not measure height for a year.]

Rob,how tall is the tallest woman among your relatives/friends? I'm just curious. I haven't seen many tall women throughout my life. Most I've seen are rather very short ones.

Would you consider a page for Matt Passmore? I suspect he is not the 6'2'' as claimed.

Rob, I have seen you mention Glenn being 5 ft 6 1/4 recently on the Kit Harrington page. When Glenn had his own page here you listed him 5 ft 7 and measured him 5 ft 6.5 before you wiped out loads of old pages any explanation for the discrepancy in descriptions of his height? Was he on his tiptoes when you measured him or something

[Editor Rob: he wasn't measured at his lowest height as he said the time he woke up the first time, so I estimate he drops another 1/4 inch and wakes up near 5ft 7.]

Rob I think I have finished growing I got a spurt 2 months ago and I am 20 years old. I Usually wake up at 185.2-3 cm and after a long day at about 6-7 pm I usually wake up at 7.30 am I am 183.1 cm at 6 pm. What height is my height? What height should I claim? 183.1 cm is the lowest I have measured myself.

Hey rob, say someone is measured at 185.5-186cm
Would you call them a BIG 6'1", solid 6'1", comfortably 6'1".
Would they get the full 6'1 1/4" listing if 185.5 is a low for them.

Please Rob just tell me you mentioned barefoot height or with shoes

[Editor Rob: human height doesn't include footwear, so we should always be stating our height as if barefoot.
If anybody gives a height in shoes, they are best saying '5ft 11 in shoes' so others will know.]

Rob if you were to guess, how tall is this lady in the blue sweater? The guy on the right (tallest in the photo) is a Filipino basketball player measured at 6ft3 with shoes.

[Editor Rob: maybe 5ft 9ish, although she claims 5ft 10...but women do lie upwards, I've seen quite a lot inflate their claims!]

Rob, do you think ever the heights on this site will trump googles lazy, copy and paste listings? I don't understand why they don't use the listings from this site when so much effort goes in to being as scientific as possible with listings

[Editor Rob: I don't think they care that much about accuracy in terms of trivia like height...it's more to keep people on their properties and as a last resort send them to other sites for the answer.
This site cares a bit more about trying to provide reasonable estimates.
