She's not even close to 5'6"!She's 5'5,5".Did you watch "The Heartbreak Kid"?She's the same height as Ben Stiller and she was not wearing flats.
She's slim.It deceaves the audience.
But she heights 1,66 m

@Rob
Didn't realize that you had so many Sweidh actresses on here, let alone a whole category for them. I don't imagine Sweden being a huge market for the film indsutry.
Editor Rob
Compared to finland/norway (half population) there is a lot more listed. Probably a few older generation swedish actresses that raises the numbers up a bit too.
Andrea said on 24/Oct/20
I didn't realize you met her husband, Rob... shouldn't that be enough to conclude she's at least closer to 5'7 than 5'8? He generally looks AT LEAST as tall as her in heels (sometimes even taller)!
5'7 or a fraction over definitely looks much more believable than anywhere near 5'8.
Not really taller than Michelle Monaghan, who only claims 5'7 herself: Click Here
Editor Rob
with Jack I can see how 5ft 7 seems possible, I think 171 range might be the most I could argue.

I'm baffled by her comment "I'm only five-eight"!

Yeah, now a real 5 ft 8 woman should be comfortably tall enough to never say that but she is from Sweden which is among the tallest nations. I do rather like her, she looks like she could be a naughty girl haha! She can look a lot like Lindsey Vonn in some pictures.

She was taller than Tom Cruise in Rock of ages by half an inch so she's at least a strong 5'8

She might even be 174

She was born in Sweden to Swedish parents. So the average height there is 5 ft 7 I think for women. A bit like an English or American man saying they're 'only' 5 ft 10 - we know what they mean. Meaning - barely above average, and not tall by Swedish standards.

she looks like a 172 cm girl to me. tall but maybe 173 out of bed
Junior Hernandez said on 4/Feb/18
I did say 5'7 1/4 but to be honest 5'7 at lowest.

I'm not buying the 5'8" listing. Lot of people here are right. She's more 5'7", even a bit less isn't impossible.
Mimi said on 20/Mar/17
Rob at what height did you ever first list Malin with?
Editor Rob
I can't remember, but if she's changed it wouldn't be much.

5'7 no way even a tap more. If she is 5'8 then alexander skarsgard would be 6'5
Mr. calculator said on 18/Jan/17
5'7. look at her next to Alexander Skarsgard at Battleship premiere.
her heels are pretty high but she only reaches his nose.
Morningheight 182cm said on 30/Sep/16
Between 5'7 and 5'7.5
Alex said on 3/Jul/16
She is 170

Saw her on "Lip Sinc Battle". The height difference between her (wearing wedged sneakers) and LL Cool J is the same as the height difference between Anne Hathaway and LL Cool J, and the same as the height difference between 5'7 Emily Blunt (wearing regular sneakers) and LL Cool J. So Malin is 5'7 max!
Andrea said on 27/Oct/15
I doubt it, Matt! You can see her with Alexander Skarsgard (who isn't even standing at his tallest with that "pose"): Click Here
If anything, she's under 5'8... 5'7.5 at best!
Matt said on 26/Oct/15
I just met her an hour ago and I would say she is a solid 5 ft 8. I was surprised, I didn't know she was tall. I am a little over 5 ft 9 and she was almost as tall as me
WhoCares said on 22/Aug/15
You might want to downgrade her. Met her a couple of years ago, even took a photo with her. She was at least 2 inches shorter than me, while wearing high heel boots (it was winter).
I would say 5'7" max
Just said on 6/Jul/15
Both Katherine Heigl and Malin in flats Click Here
Even if we consider their posture, Malin is still more than 1" shorter than Katherine.
Just said on 12/Apr/15
She's shorter than 5'7 Sandra Bullock by at least an inch in "The Proposal". Couldn't see their footwear though.
Silent_D said on 12/Jan/15
In the heartbreak kid, she is only a few cm taller than ben still who struggles to reache 5 foot 6. 172cm.
J.Lee said on 13/Jun/14
Rob would Malin be 6 ft 1 in these? Click Here
Editor Rob
they look very big, she'd certainly be over 6ft flat, nearly 6ft 1 is possible
Natasha1 said on 9/Jan/14
Only 5'8"?? 5'8" is tall. She isn't though she's 5'6.5" and no more.
Just said on 15/Dec/13
She is 5'7 at best. There's no way she's 5'8. The height difference between her and Katherine Heigl isn't only a half inch.
Lee said on 6/Jul/13
She's listed as 5'7" elsewhere.

Which is about what she looks like in most films... tall, but not very tall.
Adam said on 31/Mar/13
Got to be pretty close. I watched a clip of her on Craig Ferguson (listed at 6'1.5"), and she looked 1.5" shorter in heels. Tall girl.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 12/Aug/12
Rob, why didnt you change her? The previous listing was much closer to the truth!
mina said on 31/Jul/12
I watched 27 Dresses too.Malin is shorter than Katherine Heigl.No matter how many inches her heel's are,she should still be equal in height/body to Katherine whom is only 5'8.5,174cm.She is definitely not 5'8,173cm.Malin is 5'6.5-5'7
Just said on 26/Jul/12
She was shorter than Katherine Heigl in "27 dresses".
Isabella said on 7/Dec/11
"I'm only five-eight"? That's hardly diminutive for a girl...
HelloGoodbye said on 8/Oct/11
i dunno about this height! she was shorter than sandra in The Proposal.and isn't sandra 5'7 or 5'7 1/2? malin looks more 5'6-5'6.5.
® said on 7/Sep/11
Swift is not 5'11.Check malin next to legit 5'8.5 heigl.
5'8.675859601 said on 7/Sep/11
Don't know Rob, she could be 5'8, she is not towered over by legit 5'11 Taylor Swift. She became a model before an actress, so she might be saying the truth at 5'8.
DDGSDG said on 25/Jun/11
look here with 5`11 taylor swift she`s at list 5`8 Click Here
pat said on 26/Mar/11
Met her in Sweden. About 5'11(180 cm) with really high heels 4-5 inch => 5'6-7. Her little sister were tall though.
Matthew Bartlett said on 23/Apr/09
Met her today in SOuth Africa she is shooting the Bang Bang Club and at 5'10 I am taller than her by a few inches. I would say she is 5'6.5 no taller. Definitely not 5'8 - my girlfriend is 5'8 and Malin Akerman is not as tall as her.
marco said on 28/Mar/09
I just saw a clip of Akerman on Leno from 2007. She walked across the stage wearing 5 maybe 4 inch heals. I paused the video to check. Leno, who's 5'11 greeted her and they were the same height. Dana Carvey, 5'8, who was a guest, was about 3 inches shorter. That would make Malin between 5'6 and 5'7.
vf1rj said on 14/Mar/09
I doubt if she is 5'7. Check her out here (fake tour with silk specter):

The nerds in the video are clearly so much taller than her. She is probably only around 5'4- 5'5.
mf said on 25/Dec/08
She is definitely taller than Stiller.

yeah 5'8-5'8 1/2
Robin said on 31/Jan/08
ya, i'd say shes around 5'8.
Lmeister said on 8/Jan/08
I would have given 5ft8 - 5ft8.5 to her. She looks bit taller than Ben Stiller and is wearing flatter shoes than him.
Chris said on 7/Jan/08
About right I'd say. She's a similar height to Ben Stiller.
