Hey Rob! Have you ever thought about adding Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad to your website? He is known on the Internet as 6ft 2.5, it seems even quite real. In 2001, he looked a good 2.5 inch taller than Tony Blair: Click Here Click Here
The same in 2002: Click Here
He could have looked 8 inches taller than Putin in 2005: Click Here Click Here
Although the height difference between them in 2006 seemed a little less: Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
Finally, a few photos of Al-Assad alongside Sarkozy from 2008: Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
And from 2009: Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
Considering Sarkozy's footwear, Assad might have been nine inches taller than him. Rob, what's the chance of adding Al-Assad?
Editor Rob
Bashar was mentioned a few times before, but there are probably a fair percentage of leaders I may not add.
Sinclair said on 3/Jun/21
Rob, how tall would you say Edouard Balladur was at peak?

Next to Sarkozy, I reckon Balladur can look 5’10” range but as a young man, Balladur looked roughly the same height as Georges Pompidou, so I’d say 5’11” for his younger days.
Editor Rob
I think sometimes looks 5ft 9 range with Sarkozy, though we know he liked a bit bigger footwear than average...at peak at least 5ft 10 for him.

In the previous comment, the links to the photos were not displayed, so I am sending one again and one more photo: Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
I think Blair might have looked full 6ft back then (in 2003) and Sarkozy around 5ft 5.5. Rob, I hope you can give them both peak height and the current height soon.

Thank you for every reply you give to my comments, Rob! Here are a few more photos of Sarkozy alongside Tony Blair from 2003: tinyurl.com/52sd626f tinyurl.com/128byk34 tinyurl.com/1lf4i6fe tinyurl.com/4lt6mdz3
In my opinion Sarkozy could have lost half an inch today. For me, 18 years ago (when he was 48) he had 5ft 5.5 but today when he is 66 he is not over 5ft 5. Blair too may have lost a bit of height today but that's a separate topic.
Almost 180cm guy said on 6/Jan/21
This year Sarkozy is turning 66, I believe he has already lost some height. I wonder how long he has been wearing heels. Here are two photos of him with Tony Blair from 2003: Click Here Click Here
Sarkozy was 48 at the time and Blair 50, so neither of them could lose anything yet. Sarkozy's shoes already seemed thick then (18 years ago) so if Sarkozy really had a comfortable 166 cm, I don't see Blair below 6ft in this situation. Blair can also be a shorter today than he used to be because he turns 68 in this year. Rob, maybe it's time to peak height for Blair and Sarkozy?
Editor Rob
I think Sarkozy has held up reasonably well, he might though have lost 1cm
Mike Sui said on 25/Dec/20
He is 5'4, people don't realise how short he is until they meet him irl, i met him in 2008 and i'm assuming he's even shorter today.
5.9 legit guy said on 7/May/20
163 cm or 5ft4 guy.He is always wearing elevator shoes
Yang (5 footer 8, 172-173) said on 11/Aug/19
164 range... He is one of shortest President I do know so far unlike US presidents JFK, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Johnson and Reagan etc.... I do know most US Presidents are definitely taller than you and me with 5ft 8 range.....
MAD SAM said on 17/Jun/18
163 cm nothing more
even said on 20/Mar/18
a weak 5 foot 5 , he always wore lifts
Mistical said on 3/Jan/18
I agree with James.He is not even 5'4" because on the photo with the female politician from my country, they were same height (she had small heels on).
Steve said on 15/Nov/17
Hi Rob. What would you guess Sarkozy would measure in a good pair of elevator shoes? 5ft 7.5 - 5ft 8 range or a bit less like 5ft 7.25?
Editor Rob
he might pull off looking 5ft 6.5-7 range to people if he wears a 2.5 inch elevator.
Richardspain said on 14/Nov/17
He seems 167-168cm barefoot

He wears lifts and elevator shoes
sANtof said on 25/Oct/17
He should be downgraded, he is well known in France to wear big elevator shoes of at least 2.4 inches
Chase said on 18/Sep/17
Wears heels and tip toes and still looks short a f.

Give that phantom half inch to J Cole
Peter175 said on 4/Jun/17
Arch, I agree. The half inch has me scratching my head. Where is it coming from? peak height maybe? Doesn't look a bit above 5'5 flat
James said on 3/Jun/17
5'5.5" is a joke. He's barely 5'4".
horacle said on 30/May/17
a weak 5'6
Peter175 said on 11/May/17
Honestly I always saw more than 2.5 inches with his wife. Looks nearer the 3+ range, also more than an inch with putin
Jerry said on 2/May/17
I live in Paris and have met Sarkozy, Fillon, Macron and Hollande on different occassions. I am 5'9.5" and my estimates would be 5'4" Sarkozy, 5'7.75" Macron, 5'8" Fillon and 5'5.75" Hollande.
John said on 27/Mar/17
Rob, is 6 foot 1 possible?
Editor Rob
when standing on a podium he clears it comfortably.
Arch Stanton said on 27/Mar/17
The .5 seems a tad generous IMO.

C'mon change this height, he isn't taller than 5'4". Downgrade please.
James said on 12/Jan/17
"Only" 7.2%? Anyway that's an old figure.
Alex said on 12/Jan/17
the "huge" muslim population of france is only abou 7.2%...

and about his height, remember he wears heels so he's pobably around 5'4
James said on 17/Dec/16
Sarkozy is 5'4". It seems amazing that a Jewish man was elected president in France with its huge Muslim population.

Angela Merkel is 5'6" and is 2" clearly taller then Sarkozy :) I am so sorry but he is only 5'4"
mande2013 said on 18/Nov/16
Rob, have you thought about adding Hollande? What height would he be? To me, he consistently looks like a 5'6 and changer.
Editor Rob
mande, not really looked much at Hollande yet.
french guy said on 18/Jul/16
i really do think he is 163 cm...without his liftt
François Hollande must be 169 cm, but he is listed at 174 cm
plus said on 5/Oct/15
I don't think that he is so short. Here he is with Rajoy 190 cm and Garcia Albiol (201 cm). Even with lifts he has several pics with Rajoy and he is not so short

Tunman said on 16/Jun/15
Why the upgrade?I thought 5'5 was fine.Now you downgraded Carla Bruni to 5'8.Sorry I fail to see only 2.5" between them.
Editor Rob
I think at times he has worn normal shoes, other times a lifted shoe, I think this mark is possible for him.
Mitch 185.8cm said on 13/Jan/15
168 for Mr Hollande and 165-166 for sarko !
Ka said on 17/Dec/14
Yes thanks Rob, I've request this page 2 yrs ago!
Andrea said on 16/Dec/14
It's hard to tell from those pics, Dmeyer, but Tom can look only 1.5 inches taller and 2-2.5 inches taller... Tom is around 5'7.5, so Nicolas being 5'5-5'5.5 is fair! He looks similar to Berlusconi in photos (Berlusconi has claimed to be 171). Both of them are lifts-wearer so i think they're actually not much different barefoot... Both in that range! Berlusconi is almost 80, though, so he must have lost something, maybe an inch? 5'6 maybe is possible but i doubt he's ever been 171 barefoot as he says!
MD said on 15/Dec/14
Was there really a need for 10 consecutive posts?
the shredder said on 14/Dec/14
Tom looks to clear 5'8 with him.
Dmeyer said on 14/Dec/14
5'5.5 is almost 166.5cm i can buy that nearly 167cm but not 166cm flat Like 5'5.25
Dmeyer said on 14/Dec/14
Thanks rob 5'5.5 is close looking 5'6 with bigger footwear
Dmeyer said on 14/Dec/14
If cruise had no lifts 5'5-5.5in is possible since when in good posture he looks 2.5-3in shorter
Dmeyer said on 14/Dec/14
If he is 5'5 then cruise is 56.75
Dmeyer said on 14/Dec/14
His shoes are thick heeled but low cut
Editor Rob
5ft 5.5 range is possible, at times he has a clear footwear advantage but they aren't going to be huge dons like shoes.
Dmeyer said on 13/Dec/14
Not as much as 20cm taller Sarko is 168cm rob
Dmeyer said on 12/Dec/14
If he is 165 then François hollande is 166cm and arnie 178.5cm on a good say
Nico said on 27/Sep/14
Rob, can you register on your site the height of President Hollande?
It measures 5 feet 7 at peak
Gonzalo said on 7/Jul/14
1,65 is too low for him. 1`68 seems more accurate. He must wear monsters
176,2Tunman said on 3/Mar/14
Lift wearer for sure but perhaps not all the time Fatty joe, sometimes he wears high heels giving 1.75-2" rather than 3". He generally looks a good 3" shorter than 5'9 Carla Bruni but more likely 4-4.5 considering footwear,I noticed she wore flat shoes giving around 0.5" most of the time,probably not to make him look very small, between 5'4 and 5'5 is fair.French comics always laughed about his stature,many people think he's around 155 or 158 but this is clearly exagerated.
Fred said on 27/Dec/13
I am French, and yes, Nicolas Sarkozy carries very attractive shoes. With these shoes, it seems to 171-172 cm. However, its size is about 167 cm. (Peak 170 cm)
165 cm I do not think so little. Or not less.
thc-182 said on 20/Feb/13
164-165 is probably his real height, officialy he is listed at 5'6" or even 5'7"
Arch Stanton said on 8/Feb/13
Is this a new page? 5'5" tops. The Russian president is even shorter.
