Richard Hammond's Height
5ft 5 ½ (166.4 cm)
English TV Presenter best known for Top Gear, The Grand Tour, Braniac and The Great Escapists.

All the remarks in Heat harp on about my size: "He's a little beauty" and "I love the fact he can only just see over the dashboard" - but I'll have you know I'm not actually that short. I'm 5ft 7ins, which is a fairly normal height. It's just that I have to stand next to giant Jeremy, who's about 8ft tall.
For the past 20 years I've been quite happily going about my business without anyone commenting on my height and now people shout at me in the street: "Oi, shortarse... you really are short, aren't you?"
I usually point out they're ugly or have a really rubbish car. I don't mind it, really. The only time I don't like it is at posh parties when they use the top of my head as an ashtray or to stand drinks on.
I'm taller than a lot of film stars - especially the short ones. I'm taller than Mel Gibson, I'm taller than George Clooney, I'm taller than Tom Cruise - and I'm taller than Hitler.

That quote from Hammond is hilarious and I can’t believe no one has mentioned it “I’m taller than Mel Gibson” nope, way shorter. “I’m taller than George Clooney” nope, even bigger gap than Clooney. “I’m taller than Tom Cruse and Hitler” nope and nope: even without lifts Cruise would have Hammond by more than an inch. Hitler has him by 2.5-3 inches.
Comical claims from Hammond. Where was he getting Clooney is short from? Dude is/was above average, especially for his generation. Hammond would get dwarfed by him. 😂

Editor RobThe quote definitely didn't live up to expectations that one time Hammond met Cruise

I thought the height difference between Richard and Jeremy would be bigger, honestly. I can see 5’6” for him.

There's no way hes 5'7, like he claims. Because the truth is, 5'7 isn't really that short. I know a few guys that height and I never think of them as small, even though I'm 6 foot. If you're 5'7 you're going to be taller than nearly all wonen, and only an inch or two shorter than the average guy. I find that people who are noticeably small, like Richard Hammond, are nearly always 5'3, 5'4 or 5'5. That's the height range on a man, when you really notice they're little. I'd say he's 5'5

I’m satisfied with the 5’5.5” listing for Hammond. With 5’7ish Tom Cruise’s massive footwear, I felt that Cruise looked a few inches taller than Hammond.

He’s shorter than Tom cruise no doubt although Tom cruise is nearer to 5’8 than 5’7 and I do agree wirh him in that he looks shorter than he probably is as Jeremy Clarkson is unusually tall and James May is on the taller side of average , needs an upgrade

Bad listing. He looks 4" shorter than May in all the pics on Google and 9" shorter than 6'4 Clarkson. 5'7 minimum.

His small head definitely makes him look shorter than he really is. I think he's still above the average female height Could be a solid 5'6", just no more.

I would say 5ft 6 flat. I am 168 in morning and 166 at night, so I class myself 5ft 5 and a half or 166cm, which is what he is listed. I do think he would measure slightly taller. I do agree with what he says. Clarkson and May are tall and do make him look far shorter.

I think Hammond might pull of the "looks shorter than he actually is" thing. He's clearly below average but he doesn't look that abnormally short when walking around town.

Peter with all do respect have you ever actually seen the show? If you did you'd know that picture isn't accurate at all, Like I said he's nearly a foot shorter than Jeremy. Hammond is 5'6" at best barefoot maybe he could scrape 5'7" with boots on. He's not quite Danny DeVito short but he's clearly below average. Pretty sure if Hammond is 5'11" I'm like 6'2"....just saying.

His height is severely underrated. He's not short at all just Clarkson who is really really tall. Look at this picture with him and Clarkson. Click Here. He looks like max 5 inches shorter than him which would put him at 5'11.5. He's taller than average British man. And James May looks 2.5 inches shorter than Clarkson which would put him att 6'2.5. So there you have folks. The true heights of the Top Gear stars. Have a good day!

I'm intrigued by this one. I've watched every Top Gear and now every Grand Tour episode. At times I could have sworn he was every bit of 170cm and at other times it seemed like he couldn't be any more than 164cm. Not sure if he wears lifts or not. There where certainly times when he didn't appear much shorter than James May. He appears shorter in The Grand Tour than he did in for most of Top Gear. He's still too young to have lost height, I suspect he wore lifts for much of Top Gear and now he isn't. This would mean he's closer to 164cm than 170cm, short man.

I do think he's within a foot of Clarkson, although probably just barely. A weak 5'6" would be my best guess.

This is Grand Tour, Episode 01. In that scene they all stand one-foot barefoot, one-foot in sneakers (which add almost nothing to height).
I think you could reconsider Hammond's height.
He wears sneakers almost everytime and seems to be very honest on topic of height.

Problem with Hammond is he's always wearing those super low soled converse type shoes which give no height, someone wearing thick soled trainers/dress shoes would automatically have an inch on him, I can see him being a little taller than listed for this reason.

Apparently 5'7" is a "fairly normal" height, according to Richard Hammond. And btw, he's not even 5'7", he's 5'5 1/2". Last time I checked, the average UK male height is 5'9 1/2"-5'10", and that's for males of all age groups. Younger men (20-30) may average around an inch taller than that. The level of insecurity Richard has is understandable though, when you're barely taller than the average woman in your country.

@Aaron: That pavement is sloping though, look at the sidewalk behind them. May is standing on the highest point and Hammond on the lowest point. 6'4.5 for Clarkson, 5'11.5 for May and 5'5.5 for Hammond looks quite spot on.

Its dis-honest to claim anything more than your barefoot morning height, in my opinion. Of course you could probably "round up" your morning height 1/2" max (if you're at the .5), but that's being generous and as far as it should go.

Rob, give us your opinion about people that are for example 5'5 1/2 and claim 5'7 1/2. I mean why would he even add that 1/2 and not just say 5'7 for example? What do think is in their minds?
Also what do you think about those people who are, for example, 5'10 and claim that they are 6'3?

Editor Rob nar, people who give inflated heights are sometimes worried or insecure about their height. Rounding a little is fine if you are talking in full inches and don't want to say 'and a half'.

The 5ft 7.5 claim was the length of mattress he would need. Presumably half an inch for a bit of extra room. He said 5ft 7 recently on Twitter.

Editor Rob since Hammond tried to claim the ludicrous half inch over 5ft 7, I think maybe it is only fair to give him the real half inch, over 5ft 5...it fits him better.

I think this listing is right, he's shorter than 5'7". It's easier to compare him to James May than Jeremy Clarkson, as he's so tall, or Tom Cruise who has notoriously variable footwear. If you compare the two, James May has a good five inches on him at least, and he is at most 6'. So that by logic 5'7" is the most Richard Hammond could be, but more than likely he is smaller than that.

I stood beside Richard for several minutes as we waited to get off a plane a couple of weeks ago. 5ft 7in or a little more is correct. Any less and he would have been shorter than I am and he was a little taller.

In the first episode of series 20 of Top Gear, whilst on the test track, Hammond stood next to Brian Johnson, who's 165cm. Hammond was the exact same height. So he's really 165cm, no taller.

@Rob did you see last weeks Top Gear Africa Special? Hammond claimed 5'7 1/2". Its creeping up, maybe next series he will be 5'8" :) I think your estimate of 5'6" is more likely.

I am about 5'7" and I don't consider myself short. In other words, I'm short, but I'm not THAT short. I think that I am about the same height as Hammond, if he is 5'6" or 5'6.5" than you have to understand that people our height like to give ourselves the benefit of the doubt haha. I'd call Hammond 5'7" even if he wasn't exactly that.

I was 5ft 6 at 14 and I am now 18 I was 6ft 1 so you never know. My dad is 5ft 9 but my mam is 5ft 1 so I dunno how Im 6ft!? My brother was 4ft 8 when he was 11 but he's 5ft 10 now so I guess its just my family.
I once met Richard Hammond a couple of years ago when I was about 5ft 10 and I was a bit taller than him so I would say about 5ft 6.5. When I met him he was wearing shoes with a small hight added to them so I just took about a inch of for them

When I was an exchange student two years ago, I finally got lucky enough to watch the show being filmed and meet the guys afterward. (My host father works behind the scenes and knew I'm a fan.) All I can say is that I'm 5'1 and a bit, Richard was a good six inches taller than me (I had flip flops on), James is definitely at least 6', and Jeremy is a giant!! They are all incredibly funny blokes, though, great fun, and didn't take the piss out of me TOO badly becaus I'm American. Lol! (Unfortunately I did NOT get to meet the Stig or go out on the track. Something about "insurance") =(

5'6 is a good estimate I think. Hammond strikes me as a bit self-conscious so it wouldn't be a surprise if he added an inch to his actual height, by saying he's 5'7. He's definitely not less than 5'5 though.

Mia, how is being short 'woeful'?! It's not a performance! Just because you are 6ft 1 don't think you're better than others, and if you have to use your height to give you status/confidence/superiority you're obviously lacking in other areas of your life. Richard Hammond = Legend

Yeah, Leonari. The ground appears to have a slight slant and Cruise has a footwear advantage, but that along with his height of 5'7.75 shouldn't account for him appearing about 5 inches taller than Hammond. Hammond does look consistently around 7 inches shorter than James May, who is 6'ish, and there looked to be around 2.5 inches between Hammond and Moyles, pictured somewhere else together on this page. I think Hammond is 5'5.

May looks nearer 6'1" than 6' to me. Hammond I think would measure something similar to challenger #1 and #12.1. 5'5.5" would be my guess, he always looks too short to be what he claims.

Richard with 5 ft 7.5 in (171 cm) Chris Moyles, Click Here
Granted, it's not possible to see footwear but Moyles has never struck me as the lift-wearing type (would have to be rather substantial ones at that - 2.5 in perhaps). My father recently 'met' Hammond in a car park outside a hotel in Cornwall, upon seeing his rather expensive camper van, my father crudely commented, "Hey Richard, that's some TOP GEAR you've got there", whilst pointing absent-mindedly at the aforesaid vehicle. Richard replied with a listless, "Oh, haven't heard that one before" and went back to packing his luggage. Oh yeah and my father (175 cm) remarked on him being considerably shorter than himself, despite Richard wearing his trademark Cubans.

USYD, at 16 I was about 5'6" or 5'6", at 20/21 I reached my final height of 6'1.5" so it's possible. Though, in my case it went like that because I hit puberty rather late which does not seem to be the case for you, so 6'2" probably won't happen, but you never know.

I actually live near Richard Hammond and last summer on the day of the England Germany game he was at a school fete I was at. I'm 5'11.5 and I was surprised how tall he was!! Seeing him on Top Gear next to Clarkson he does look small but I was stood next to him for quite some time and he didn't look that short to me. So maybe 5' 7" is accurate. I did clock his footware, he was wearing flat baseball boots so he didn't have the benefit of heels.

Hi Mia, I stand at 6'6" and I prefer tall women. So, someone of your height would be ideal for me. I like shorter women too, but I have to be honest, men who are 5'8" or 5'9" tend to be better suited to them proportionately - and more power to them. Go for it guys!

I am 6'6.5" and i can tell you that with bad posture jeremy clarkson is 6'4.5"
Hammond ------------ 5'6.5" to 5'7"(168.75 -170cm)
May ---------------- 5'11.5" to 6' (181.5 - 183cm)
Jezza--------------- 6'4" to 6'5", most likely 6'4.5"(194.5cm)
i think its unreasonable to skit hamster for his height, he is only 2-2.5 inches of the uk average, ya dont see anyone skitting a 5'11" guy for being two inches over it.

People are always obsessed about being taller, over 6ft+ is lanky and unnecessary, even if you have a reasonable amount of muscle. It is better to be normal (under 6ft) symetrical and athletic than a giant freak. People over 6ft start to perform worse at everything physical on average.

The Dutch guys who think they tower over us Brits should pay the UK a visit sometime. The average height here in the southwest is 6ft easily.

I've been to Holland and I'm weak 6ft height(average height 5ft11.5) and I saw grannies taller than me. There were lots of people well over 6ft there including woman. Everyone in my group noticed the height increase over there. I've been round Britain and no area is taller than others. The Average height is somewhere in the 5ft8-9 in britain for men. Yes young men are taller or give an appearance of taller because they look so skinny these days but as you get older a little shrinkage in your height happens and that brings the average down in the UK.

I'm about 6'5.5" and Hammond would be estimated at 5'5" he's until my chest , and May is to my chin.

Hammond is short, I'm from Holland and I went with a few cousins of mine to a Top Gear show...we are big fans of those three car maniacs as well, and on the set Hammond is really short, I'm about 6'5.5" and Hammond would be estimated at 5'5" he's until my chest , and May is to my chin, but Clarkson is same compared to to me, but I think he is much taller than me if he kept a straight posture.

On my father's side of my family Hammond would be considered very tall. On my father's side of my family I'm taller than most of the men and I'm 5'3 1/4" to 5'8" (depending on which shoes I'm wearing).

I doubt hes actually 5'7, he must of added a few inches because of him always being around Jeremy and James who are 6'5 and '6.

Hammond is 5ft 7 but he seems a lot shorter with Jezza, Look at him with 6ft James (5ft 10 with his posture) and Hammond looks of a normal height, so 5ft 7 is perfect.

5'7"? I know a number of 5'7" guys and they never look as short as Hammond does. I guess it is because he is standing next to Clarkson most of the time who looks a foot taller at times. He does seem to be 5'5"-5'6" I would say 5'6". 5'11 guy, thats because a lot of Dutch do tower above Brits on average. If the average UK guy spent some time in Amsterdam he would feel on the short side without a doubt. A high percentage of Dutchmen are 6 foot or over and I have never seen so many 6'3"-6'6" guys in one place before. I'm 188cm and usually when I walk down the street in the UK I'm notiecably taller than most people I see. In Amsterdam it is far more common and a very high number of guys are 5'11-6'2" there. There is nowhere in the UK where average comes even close to 6'. If you are 5'11.5" legit you will be tallish on average wherever you are in the UK. Yeah in school I was average, perhaps only a tiny bit over average height actually, I was 5'9" at 15 or 16 when I had a growth spurt and reached 6'1" by 17 or 18 then grew another inch and bulked out in my early 20s. The tallest guys in general in my school year even at 15 I recall peaked around 5'11-6'1" and I can only think of the similar sort of proportion who were this height as ANonymous says below. I sure wish I had been my adult height in school! I can only think of a very small number of guys who were any taller than 6' in school and those were the very tall ones who were like 6'3"-6'6" and mostly bullied for being "lanky gits". I think I recall the tallest guys in Grade 11 (age 15-16) claiming 6' or 6'1" and there was of course a huge guy who was 6'4" by the age of 11 which is extremely unusual and one or two who had the Peter Crouch thing going on.

I'm from the Southwest and was the same height as you when I was 15. However, I was and still am (6' at 16) one of the taller students in my year, I can only think of 7-10 students who are basically my height (5'11"-6'1") out of 80-ish, with only one who is taller, 6'3" or so. In town I always feel above average, so I don't know why you believe the average is six foot, I'd say its around 5'9.5".

I reckon that Richard Hammond is about 5 foot 7. If you watch Top Garden Ground Gear Force, when he's stood next to Davina McCall you can see that she's a few inches taller than him, and she's listed as being 5 foot 7, yet she's wearing heels, so without them I reckon that they would indeed be roughly the same height.

Well Jeremy Clarkson is around 6'5, so anyone stood next to him would look tiny. Though Hammond seems to be smaller than about 75% of the people he stands near. I'd say he's around 5'5 - 5'6. Still, what does it matter? He looks fine as he is ^_^

Richard might be 5ft6, but not lower. Even average height guys look shortish in Top Gear, because even James May is taller than average. Not only short men lie about their height quite a few tall guys have claimed to be taller than they really are. A lot of guys say their shoes on height.

Haven't met any of them unfortuately. However 5ft 6in is short for a bloke. Obviously if you are famous like Richard it's not such a draw back. I have a son who is 5ft 6in, not bad looking, but because of it finds great difficulty meeting girls who wish to date him. They all think he's cute but....

I stood right NEXT TO Mr Hammond at West Midland Safari Park on Saturday. He was looking at sealions with his family and I happened to be doing the same eith my family. I am fairly short, 5ft 6in but even I was DEFINATELY taller than Richard Hammond, even with his big hair.

James May is about 6ft, I used to go to the same Indian restaurant as him in Chiswick, I'm 5ft 11 and he was slightly taller.

Most people are shorter than they think.If they were properly measured they would be surprised.This Top Gear lot are only overgrown schoolboys(apart from Hammond)anyway,mental age 12.
Richard Hammond is probably between 5'2" to 5'4" or maybe even shorter.
It's true,standing next to the giant Jezza Clarkson does him no favours.
James May is probably the U.K. average height but why on earth does he sport that silly early Seventies haircut? It looks vile.

In a picture quite far below, May and Hammond are adopting a similar posture so their true height, assuming their shoes have the same sized heels, are represented against eachother.
Clarkson's stooping enough to give nearly 2" height drop. My personal estimation of their heights is that Clarkson's a solid 6'5", Hammond's 5' 6.5" and May's a straight 5'11. 4 1/2" of height difference between hammond & may seems about right compared to 6" between clarkson and may, a little less with the poor posture of clarkson taken into consideration.

I would say that he is roughly 5'7 because Jeremy Clarkson is huge at 6'5 and standing next to him doesn't do him any favours really. it's like me and my friend we're both 14 but she's 4'11 and i'm 5'10.

I've met James May and his posture is terrible, he walks head down and seems noticeably stooped. He seems to have lost weight and is pretty lean in build, which adds to the impression of tallness, He was a few inches shorter than my 6'5.5 so 6'2 seems a fair guess.

According to the Health Survey for England 2004, the average adult male height in the UK is 5'9". That doesn't mean that Richard Hammond is VERY short, but he is below average. Nevertheless he certainly makes up for it in personality! At nearly 5'11" (179cm), I am way above the average of 5'3.5" for an adult female. I'm even taller than the average guy too, which is a real pain!

5'9 certainly isn't the average here in Bristol/Bath. Otherwise I'd tower over most people, and I don't.

According to the Guardian and BBC websites, (...all I could be bothered looking at!) the average height of British males is 5'9". Seems true, because with the exception of a few of my male friends, most are all around the same height, between 5'7" and 5ft 10ins!

There is no way that Hammond is even 5'7 because he is just so short, my Dad is 5'7 1/2 and he is quite clearly taller than Hammond so I think it should be changed to 5'6.

Oh come on Hammond's really not that short! I'd say 5'6-5'7 but no shorter than that. He'd probably look pretty average if giant Jeremy wasn't standing next to him, he's mahoosive! James is probably pretty average and you can see that when he stands between Hammond and Jezza. However I have to say that Hammond is a very good-looking bloke (although I do love James' hair!). They're all just very cool people with big height differences!

Editor Rob actually a month ago for the first time in a while I watched Top Gear and when Clarkson stands up he really does look huge against hammond, 5ft 6 might not be out of the realms of reasonability. Hammond crazily said the other guy James was 6ft 2 or 3 one time...

To the 5'11 bloke: I don't think the average height in the southwest of UK is 6ft, I'm from Brighton which is south East and I can say that 5'9 is probably the average male height for us brits and it's quite noticable that the dutch is taller.
I have been on the top gear show and I am 6'2 barefoot, with that height Richard Hammond was only up to the top of my mouth so I would guess he is no more than 5'6 and a bit less than the billed 5'7, as goes for James May, I am about 3 inches taller than him so somewhere in the 5'11 range is probably correct. But Jeremy Clarkson is a giant and seems a solid 6'5 which might explain why he towers almost everyone at the show and is a head taller than Hamster.

The Dutch guys who think they tower over us Brits should pay the UK a visit sometime. The average height here in the southwest is 6ft easily. I'm 5'11.5 at 15 years of age, which is basically average for my age group.

unless you are a flat 5'0 this is a useless argument. Because at 5'0 you are at a disadvantage in the adult world.Not because you are unattractive.But because the world designs things for around 5'8 and up. Hammond Rules!!!

I once thought that Hammond is 165 cm tall (5ft 5in), Jeremy is 195 cm (6ft 5 in) and James May in the middle at 180cm (5ft 11in). At least it looks that way, but a couple of centimeters up or down...Hammond isn't very short. You can see that despite being below average, his head still sticks clear up from the roof of many saloon cars he tested when standing next to it(which are usually around 1.4m in height).

"5'7" for a male IS short.
The male average in britain right now is 5'11.5"
In other words, 6ft isnt technically actually that tall.
Its only 1/2" above average.
Most of the guys at college i go to are over 6'3", and some are nearly 6'10"
I myself am at a very weak 6'1/2" and feel very short all the time, i look up even to some females.
Generations are getting a LOT taller, and back in the 50's people used to stare wildly at anyone above 6'2" and you used to have to need custom made clothes, nowadays 6'2" is considered quite normal and nothing much to brag about."
Mate, please. 6'10"???!!! When you say some, for arguments sake, let's say you mean 1/15 males are nearly 6'10". That's about 7% of your college - 6'9"?
May I ask where you go to college? Also, at nearly 6'2"...189cm you are shorter than some females???
While young people in the UK 'may' average 5'11.5, it's not the average for the adult male population by a long shot. Not even for the young generation. It's the same for Germany btw. 5'10" adult male average.
I agree that you see a lot of tall people around, taller than myself anyway...but not 6'2" at least where I'm from. I also don't agree that 5'7" is that short.

I would say about 1 in 13-15 males 18 yrs and over in London is 6'2", which nobody can claim to be average. (And that guess is just based upon what I see daily and didn't require much thought.)
I say London because height varies as you go from North to south of the UK; people are shorter in the north on average so that emphasises the point.

Britains average height is not 5'11.5''. That is too high. Until recently about 5'9'' was correct. Allowing that young people are taller 5'10'' is probably average. Young people are taller but they do not tower over their parents. Height in the UK is increasing steadily but slowly. Younger generations are reaching adult height at an earlier age though. Whereas 50 yrs ago a 15 yr old boy might grow several inches nowadays many boys of this age are virtually fully grown. This might help to give the impression of a race of giants among young people.

I think 5ft10 is considered about average for a bloke, so anything above is tall, and anything below is short. My husband is 6ft2, and I consider him tall. Mind you, I´m just tipping 5ft on a good day, so most people are tall COMPARED to me, but that doesn´t make them all tall. Whichever way you look at it though, there´s no denying that I`m short!! I would say Hammond is short for a bloke, but perfectly formed!!

I never said that 6'2" was considered average, i said it was considered a normal human height, in the 1950's my dad used to get comments like "hows the weather up there?" and "its not natural to be that big"
Today he now gets "youre big, but theres way bigger out there"
you dont gawk at 6'2" people in the streets, they are run of the mill people you see everyday-i certainly do.
From my knowledge britains average male is 5'11.5", i know it used to be along the 5'10"-5'11" range but it is ever changing and increasing.

I would consider 6'0" above average
6'2" is tall
6'4" is very tall
6'6"+ is huge

In today's Times, Clarkson describes him a 5'6: "A man who'd just learnt that actually the cure for being 5ft 6in is not to be on television all the time."

He's 5'7"
james is 6ft, 6'1" max
jeremy is strange in that he sometimes looks 6'5", and could even push 6'6", but then ive seen him near some celebrities which makes him look like 6'2", id just say a good nice average 6'4" and a possible 6'5" would do him nicely.
5'7" for a male IS short.
The male average in britain right now is 5'11.5"
In other words, 6ft isnt technically actually that tall.
Its only 1/2" above average.
Most of the guys at college i go to are over 6'3", and some are nearly 6'10"
I myself am at a very weak 6'1/2" and feel very short all the time, i look up even to some females.
Generations are getting a LOT taller, and back in the 50's people used to stare wildly at anyone above 6'2" and you used to have to need custom made clothes, nowadays 6'2" is considered quite normal and nothing much to brag about.

I watch Top Gear quite a lot, and i'd say Hammond is 5'6. Clarkson is 6'5 but could be just under. I reckon James May's height is more of the 5'11/6'0 mark. He's not any taller and he's definitely NOT 6'2 as he's listed as.
