How tall is Richard Osman

Richard Osman's Height

6ft 7 (200.7 cm)

British TV presenter known for the BBC quiz show Pointless. He said in the Daily Mail regarding his height: "I wish the fact that I’m 6ft 7in was a misapprehension. People always comment on it and they mean well, but I’ve had it all day, every day, all my life."

How tall is Richard Osman

I am very tall. It is the first thing you would notice about me. I am six foot seven inches, unless I'm trying to get an upgrade on a plane, in which case I'm six foot eight.

Over the years, believe me, it hasn't escaped my notice that I'm tall. I hit my head on things, I'm tutted at in cinemas, and I find it difficult to buy adequately lengthy trousers.

But even if these little reminders weren't there, I would still know that I'm tall, and this is why, I am told that I'm tall ten to fifteen times a day, every day, by total strangers.
Being 6ft 7in, I've never walked into a room, got on the tube or walked down the street and not been noticed. Now with fame I have the fortune that people smile and say hello rather than shout!

I've met Richard. I think 6'7" is low.
Hyper said on 1/May/23
He’s a strong 6’7” than a weak one. Always looks imposing, even while slouching.
eshakir said on 20/Apr/23
6’6.75
MaskDeMasque 5'9.5 said on 28/Dec/22
At least 6'7. He'd edge out Steve Merchant I think, Osman might be 6'7.25.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 22/Aug/22
Crouch I'd put right between Osman and Davies but I honestly think if all three guys stood together there would not be a noticeable difference....
Canson said on 22/Feb/22
@Rampage and Arch: I could buy the 6’7” flat being his afternoon height meaning he could be 6’7 1/8 or even 6’7.25 at lunchtime since guys that size have a high propensity of losing that full inch than someone our size (I only lose 3/4” on a normal day and most guys in the 6’0-6’5 range such as Christian and us who I’ve seen lose 3/4” here even Ali Baba who is 6’6 ish.) then he you get guys like Junior or JDubbz who lose 7/8”. We had a poster named SJH who lost the full inch usually and he was around the same height as Merchant or Osman. I could see Osman being 6’8 out of bed and 6’7 flat afternoon (6’7 1/8 or 6’7 1/4 lunchtime) then if he has an inordinate amount of stress from standing etc he could reach an extreme low of 6’6.75” then but otherwise prob not under 6’7”. That said I could see an upgrade to 6’7.25” but Rob probably wouldn’t and 6’7 flat is ok as his afternoon. I use afternoon for my standard and Rob does for his own height but he lists people differently and the standard here is not consistent as some are listed at afternoon some lunch some a couple hours after waking some an hour after and some could even be shoe heights to an extent or half inch above what they could measure in the AM. To be fair he hasn’t met everyone so it’s just an estimate albeit probably over 90% accurate (at least 85%) across the site. Even some that he’s met may have been at morning heights when he met them (he said Cudmore was)

@Rampage

I remember seeing a picture and a video of Richard Osman and Peter Crouch together. Peter definitely edged out Richard Osman for sure. For once, Osman stood very well while Crouch is relaxed.
Arch Stanton said on 20/Feb/22
Well yeah, an upgrade of 3mm seems silly of course, it's nothing. But you could argue he is a tad over this but not as tall as Crouch. The problem with having tenths of a cm in the listings is that they can sometimes a little more or less than you might guess because we are used to the rounded up figures.
Arch Stanton said on 18/Feb/22
What did Seagal do to deserve the extra ⅛ then... :-) "unless I'm trying to get an upgrade on a place, in which case I'm six foot eight." did you mean plane rather than place??
Editor Rob
That's definitely not a 'quote trap', I typed it out and it's meant to be plane of course.

If Osman got a fraction it would be the 1/4 mark.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 17/Feb/22
Crouch is a solid 6ft7½ if not a weak 6ft8, I'd be surprised if Richard measured that afternoon/evening but 6ft7 and change is a distinct possibility...I'd put him right between Crouch and Merchant
Arch Stanton said on 15/Feb/22
How about putting Richard at 201cm exactly Rob?
Editor Rob
There's a lot who would agree he could be a fraction over 6ft 7, simply not bothering with it.

I would still say Crouch might edge Richard out.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 14/Feb/22
Rob, here's Richard getting some stiff competition from fellow 6ft7er Tom Davis

I think both of these guys along with Eddie China are more robust 6ft7 range (arguably a fraction over) while Merchant and Jones fall a bit below it....Greg Davis would still come out on top
Editor Rob
Yeah Tom is a very tall guy, seeing him with Richard he can hold his own.

I remember Davis appearing on TV and Jenny commented on his height.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 20/Dec/21
Long overdue an upgrade...I'd go a quarter above this for now

@ Hyper

Merchant is quite far back in that photo compared to Greg so he looks shorter than he is. Merchant is 6'7 and Osman maybe 6'7.25.
Hyper said on 24/Jul/21
He really did look well-taller than Stephen Merchant, with Greg Davies.

Miss Sandy Cowell said on 21/Jul/21
The trouble for me, JD1996, is that I only ever see Richard sitting down on his quiz show 'Pointless'.

That's why I went for 6ft7. On the odd occasion, I have seen him pictured with Alexander Armstrong, making Xander's 5ft11 look quite tiny!
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 20/Jul/21
Richard was answering and explaining a question regarding the movie 'The Girl With The Pearl Earring' on an old edition of 'Pointless'.

He said, "Scarlett Johansson played the girl and Colin Firth, of course, the earring!"

LOL? You bet! 😆

6ft7.
JD1996 said on 18/Jun/21
I still think he could be as tall as 6’7.5” looks a very big 6’7” to me, I think he would be taller than a solid 6’7” like Stephen merchant or Edd China.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 8/May/21
Osman really could be 6ft7½
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 7/Apr/21
Atually a higher chance he could be 6'7 1/2 downplay a 1/2.
berta said on 23/Mar/21
i think somewhere beetwwen 6´7 -6´7 1/2
recapa said on 1/Mar/21
he looks minimum 201cm to me tbh.6ft7.25 listing would be good.201-201.5cm range.
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 15/Dec/20
recapa, quite close but Osman had a huge jackpot being 6'7 3/8 and Lebron maybe 6'7 1/8.
recapa said on 22/Nov/20
here are my guesses for some 6ft7-6ft8 guys in the site: Greg davies peak 6ft8 ,now 6ft7.75.richard osman 6ft7.25 ,stepehn merchant 6ft7 or 6ft7 1/8,peter jones 6ft6.75,tom davis 6ft7 flat,lebron 6ft7 flat. feel free to disagree.
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 27/Oct/20
I don't see 1/4 over over Lebron James is impossible. 6'7 1/4 could still be worst for Osman. Osman might had hidden height when stood up good posture along Greg Davies it's only 3/8-1/2" between this two giant.
Canson said on 26/Oct/20
6’7-6’7.25 is fair
recapa said on 25/Oct/20
201cm for osman
Hyper said on 24/Oct/20
I can believe 6'7 3/8" for Osman.
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 22/Oct/20
JD1996,

Exactly what i thought for a long time. Also strange that sometime he pull from tallest 6'8 to lowest 6'7 1/4. So i estimate a small fraction over 201cm was his low.
Leesheff85 said on 23/Sep/20
6ft 7 flat is fine
JD1996 said on 19/Sep/20
I think maybe Richard Osman should be the first 6’7 3/8” listing on this site anyone else agree or not?
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 3/Aug/20
@Dream @Andreeeeee

Matt is leaning his back behind the wall anyone could easily lost over an inch doing so. Matt is honest 6'5 not sure if he is below that and Richard is a candidate for 6'7 1/2 looking at him with Greg from the most comparable picture from twitter.
Dream said on 1/Aug/20
@Andreeeeee

Looking at it again, Matt is just bending his knees.

I don't think Richard is at least 6'9". He's a bit shorter than Greg Davies, who's around 6'8". I think over 6'7", for sure, but I can't really say much about 6'9".

Something doesn't add up. If Richard is 6'7 and his brother Matt is 6'5, what is wrong with this picture?

Click Here

One of them is not telling the truth.

Matt is much taller than his band mates in Suede so i think he is really 6'5. Judging by the picture of them together, same ground, Matt is leaning a bit, i'd say Richard is at least 6'9
Wrestletop said on 19/Jul/20
Maybe at least give him an eighth Rob? The average guess has him at almost 6’7 and a quarter

Hugh Meechan said on 19/May/20
I've stood next to him. I am 1'95'. I would put him at 2'01.
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 27/Apr/20
Probably easily get 6'7 1/2 from doctor office and sometimes 6'7 3/4. Def not below 201cm.
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 27/Apr/20
Why is it that whenever 'Pointless' is on, we never get the chance to see the fully elongated Richard Osman?
🤔😔😢
The only times I have ever been able to compare his height to anyone is via pictures, and the first time I saw one of those, I had no idea how huge he stood from the ground. I consequently thought that Alexander Armstrong was considerably below average, but he isn't - he's verging on the tall side with his 5ft11!

Richard gets 6ft7. 🗼😄🗼
Kobe4ever said on 16/Apr/20
Hey Rob, who do you think would measure tallest out of Osman and Stephen Merchant.
Editor Rob
They really both can look solid 6ft 7 guys, arguably at times Osman seems like he's dropped a fraction from his claim or is giving his evening height.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 13/Apr/20
I don’t think there’s a full inch between Osman and Davies but it’s more likely a case of Osman being a bit over 6ft7 rather than Davies being a bit under 6ft8
Canson said on 11/Apr/20
@J-Dog and Junior: he may be a strong 6’7”. I can rule out the weak 6’7 too (6’6.5-6’7 range) but I don’t necessarily rule out something like 6’7 or 6’7 1/8” out either (solid 6’7 range). On the other hand I think 6’7.75 is too high for him
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 11/Apr/20
I did buy a 100% for Osman being 6'7 1/4 and a 75% to be 6'7 1/2. Looking too tall and odd for flat 6'7 even 6'7 3/4 is a 50/50 chance he could pull it off same like Peter Crouch.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 6/Mar/20
Greg probably does have a very slight edge over Richard but no by a full inch. They look close in photos. More a case of Richard getting a boost than Greg a downgrade
J-Dog said on 6/Mar/20
I think Richard is at minimum 6'7.25" I doubt he goes below this at any point in the day. I don't think he is a flat/weak 6'7" at all.
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 26/Feb/20
Click Here His frame suggested people guessing him as high as a weak 6'8. Two of my giant brothers (6'7 1/2) look about how he stack up with others.
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 26/Jan/20
The average guess could joyfully be a before bed night height for Osman.
Canson said on 10/Jan/20
@Dream: they’d be about the same
Dream said on 9/Jan/20
@Junior I don’t think Lebron would be any taller than Richard Osman.
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 21/Dec/19
I don't think so. Lebron had the edge impresssion from Rob it's because he often wear basketball sneakers that are thicker. Osman often had solid 1" footwear or 0.6" converse didn't care to claim that extra 1/2.
Dream said on 15/Dec/19
@Rob

Stadiometer showdown, Richard Osman or Lebron James? Who do you bet on?
Editor Rob
Whilst I give Lebron the edge technically, realistically they both could be closer.
Dream said on 12/Dec/19
@Junior

Actually, yeah. I think Osman and Peter Crouch are the same, while Greg looks to edge out Peter.
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 9/Dec/19
@Dream I don't think Osman had 1/2 lower than Peter. They're merely the same height. Osman had a longer head that would give illusion shorter than Peter.
Dream said on 3/Dec/19
@Rob

Richard kinda implies he’s shorter than Greg Davies, in a joking manner. What do you think?

I don't think it's a joke or anything, Greg I would think just beats him, whether it is only 1/2 inch or near an inch is the question.

I think Richard Osman could be 6’7.25”, but Peter Crouch could be 6’7 3/4”.
Editor Rob
7.25 may well be what big Osman measures.
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 3/Nov/19
@Dream Long ago i have suspect Peter to be 6'7 3/4-6'8 but i'm not sure if is a low. 6'7 1/2 listing seem good too. Osman 6'7 still under listed for sure. He pull off 6'7 1/4 to a strong 6'7 1/2. There won't be 1/2" between Osman and Peter it's the camera trick playing out on Osman.
Dream said on 2/Nov/19
@Junior

I think Peter Crouch looks a bit taller still. Richard is standing extremely well for once and Peter is swaying back and forth and very loose in posture.

Richard could be 6’7.25”, but Peter crouch more 6’7 3/4”.
Nik Ashton said on 1/Nov/19
It’s interesting that he is taller than his older brother!
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 31/Oct/19
@retyzed245 @retyzed245 Back of the clip 2:16 the women can't even tell who is taller but with that odd angle the advantages def goes to Peter. I won't go under 6'7 1/2 for both whether is their low or what they guys that will measure over 201cm.
Dream said on 24/Oct/19
In Richard’s defense, he’s further away from the camera.

However, Osman is standing extremely well for once while Peter Crouch is more relax. So Peter would be a bit taller.
Dream said on 23/Oct/19
@Rob

Huh. I didn’t realize Mat Osman claimed 6’5”. Maybe a strong 6’5”, probably. I have a hard time seeing him shorter than Kobe Bryant, based on how he stacks with his younger brother, Richard Osman.
Dream said on 22/Oct/19
Rob, any idea how tall his brother is? He's listed 6'5", but he looks much taller than 6'5", with Richard Osman. Like maybe 6'6"?

His brother claimed 6ft 5, I think it's not unrealistic.

Honestly, I can see how people would scream out of car windows, telling him he’s tall.

If I didn’t know about this site, I would’ve mistook him for something bigger.

Whether he’d actually measure that is a different story. I do think 6ft7 flat is a little low
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 15/Oct/19
He’d get away with claiming 6ft8
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 10/Oct/19
Rob, would you still consider to upgrade Osman to 6'7 1/2?

6ft 7.25 wouldn't be unrealistic, I am not sure on a full 6ft 7.5

Rob, could this guy be similar to peak Kane? I get a more taller impression from this guy than Lebron James.

6ft 7.5 would be the most I'd estimate, I can't see a full 6ft 8 for him..
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 24/Sep/19
Mickie, there is only a max 1/2 inch between them. How about you say Greg get his 6'8 measurement 9am morning down at 6'7 1/2 and Osman got his 6'7 before bed? People usually lost 2cm in a day upon morning untill night, this would be more convincing on a 202cm Greg and 200.7cm Osman. Osman had never look a flat 6'7. It depends on how Rob given those celebrities height is it a mid day version or lowest.
Mickie said on 1/Sep/19
Osman can look so huge that it was sort of surprising to me to see Greg Davies look so clearly taller next to him. I guess Osman may not be rounding down after all.
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 5/Aug/19
Rob, sorry if to let you feel annoying but there are too much of evidence prove Osman over 6'7 and mostly 6'7 1/2 so why didn't you upgraded him yet?
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 29/Apr/19
@JD1996 Like you said Osman could be a guy measure at his low 6'7 3/8 and don't bother by it but 1/2 also possible, although i make a statement he could be 2cm taller than Peter Jones as we can see converse is commonly given 1.5cm and Jones had leather footwear on look solid 1 inch maybe a few mm more and Osman still edge him a fraction so it could be 1.7-1.8cm range not a full 3/4 inch difference. Jones and Stephen Merchant i both give a low at 6'6.75" not under.

@Damon Blank Lol. You have to see them together more often there is 22cm between them not 8 inches. Armstrong i give 5'10 3/4 at his best, doesn't look a big 5'11 guy next to 201-202cm Osman.
Damon Blank said on 19/Apr/19
6 ft 7 next to Alexander Armstrong, who is 5 ft 11. He is huge.
JD1996 said on 14/Apr/19
@Junior the more I see of him the more I don't think he falls to 6'7" flat at a low. I think he's a guy that could be 6'7 3/8" or maybe 1/2" and rounds down to 6'7" at worst he might be 6'7.25" but I can't see him any lower. He edges out Jones and would edge out merchant as well he's a big 6'7".
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 8/Apr/19
Click Here Look here Osman with 0.5-0.6" less disadvantage converse and still look fraction taller than 6'7 claim Peter Jones. Obviously took off their shoes Osman is 2cm taller than Peter Jones. Strange that Rob still leaving Peter Jones and Richard Osman both listed at 6'7.
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 20/Feb/19
@Rampage Osman is more comfortably closer to 6'7 1/2 and the other two were more like weak 6'7. Merchant and Jones probably gets their 6'7 from the doctor office in the morning.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 18/Feb/19
This guy generally looks much more imposing next to others than the likes of Stephen Merchant or Peter Jones who are gawky and tend to stoop more because they clearly aren’t comfortable being very tall

I definitely think he’d edge both of them.
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 9/Jan/19
I still feel him 201.5-202cm at a low of the day.

No more than 202 cm but no less than 201 cm a strong 6'7"
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 5/Dec/18
Rob, i believe that is evidence enough we see before to prove him 202cm on the twitter back to back with Peter Jones and he also a little edging out on 6'7 Tom Davis. So maybe an upgrade for him?
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 4/Dec/18
Rob, maybe Osman was more like 6'7 1/2? Click Here
Editor Rob
Like Peter Crouch, he might have a chance at measuring that mark and simply doesn't claim the half.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 15/Sep/18
Rob, who do you think would measure taller Osmon or Merchant?
Editor Rob
Osman sometimes seems the likelier of the two, to round down a fraction more. If you were 6ft 7.5 you might go with 6ft 7 and forget the half.
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 18/Aug/18
Can't believe Osman still stay 6'7 here. We all see it Osman is among the most genuine honest 6'7 guy who look a little over his claim. Downplay 1/4 or 1/2 is totally possible.
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 2/May/18
6'7 1/4 is large potion of truth for Osman. Alexander Armstrong probably nothing over 5'10.5" without a hair.

True. Because they're 6'6 guys claiming 6'7. My cousin is 6'8 have met peter jones in real say he was at least 2" shorter than him. Osman maybe the real 6'7 and look closer to peter crouch.

He looks a legit 6ft7, more than Stephen Merchant and especially Peter Jones.
Arch Stanton said on 27/Mar/17
Yes, a 6'7.5 measurement is quite possible, though with the decent 6'6 Chaser Mark I didn't think he looked over this. Generally he looks similar to Crouch.
Sandy Cowell said on 25/Mar/17
@ Rampage - Right Rampage! I have to burst in there as I also thought he was taller, at least 6ft7.5 and possibly even 6ft8! I heard it and I'm sure I've read it in a newspaper! He can have 6ft7.75 from me as I formerly thought the gangly gentlemanly geezer was 6ft8!
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 24/Mar/17
I think 6ft7 flat looks a bit low, Rob.

I'd give him the same as Crouch and maybe bring down Greg Davies.
Chris said on 12/Feb/17
Rob, this photo with Alexander Armstrong is very strange.

Click Here

To me, he looks 6'10 or even 6'11 here. I know he claims 6'7 but is it possible he is taller? He gives me a taller impression than Peter Jones, Brad Garret or Greg Davies, but he claims to be only 6'7.
Editor Rob
Chris, at times a 6ft 7.5 argument is believable for Osman.
S.J.H said on 9/Feb/17
Re-adjusted:

Peter Crouch: 6'7.25 , a skinny and real 201cm guy could look 6'8-6'9 range
Greg Davies: 6'7.25 a struggle and never 6'8 most probably rounded up Click Here he doesn't look over 6'7 here
Richard Osman: 6'7 truthfully and just look taller because of modesty. Only time can look shorter than greg davies due to less footwear
Stephen Merchant: 6'6.25-6'6.5 look at most this tall next to 5'9 joseph gordon levitt Click Here hardly look over 6'6 here
Peter Jones: 6'6 (My 6'8 cousin met him close up there is no way near 6'7 he said he look just about 6'6 and no more)

Peter Crouch: 6'8 (203 cm) always this tall
Greg Davies: 6'7.75 (203 cm) was ever 6'8 and most likely lost a fraction now
Richard Osman: 6'7.25 (201 cm) round down 0.25"
Stephen Merchant: 6'6.75 (200 cm) given morning height 6'7
Peter Jones: 6'6.5 (199 cm) could be ever 6'7 but have shrink 0.5"

It seems like the subject of height is on this guys mind a lot. I think he is more or less truthful about his own height and I could see him being slightly taller and not bothering about mentioning the fraction of an inch that he is over 6'7". I don't think he is 6'8" though.
Wally said on 12/Nov/16
Richard Osman can be 6'8?
Toddy said on 3/Nov/16
Richard Osman: 6'7 (201 cm)

Peter Jones: 6'6.75 (200 cm)
S.J.H said on 14/Oct/16
Osman have a curve back. If corrected posture for sometimes he would reach up 6'7.25-6'7.5 max even in 0.5" converse he doesn't look shorter than peter jones with 1.1-1.2" dress shoes. Jones at most is 6'6.25 barefoot and osman 6'7 currently. Merchant give a fraction or 1/4 lower impression than osman

Similar range to Crouch I reckon. Doesnt like being very tall and rounds down...but by a full inch?
BSD said on 2/Oct/16
Click Here here's the photo of Osman and Jones mentioned below - Osman in flat converse trainers could be a hair taller than Jones in dress shoes but they both look their claim.
I think Osman is very clear about his height, in a recent QI Stephen Fry asks if he's 6 8 and he corrected him with 6 7, you could argue the extra quarter though
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 1/Sep/16
Rob, could be be a fraction over this?
Editor Rob
a chance he is 6ft 7.25 and doesn't bother with the fraction.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 1/Sep/16
I think he's maybe a hair shorter than Greg Davies
movieguy said on 31/Jul/16
The thing that gets me is he is always sitting down when he appears on TV. I would have guessed him to be normal size or tallish. In reality he is a really big guy but it appears he is fed up with his height being mentioned all the time. If you meet him probably not a good idea to comment on how tall he is.

I just watched Dragons Den pitches to riches 'Jones-Osman back to back' and Osman in converse was still taller than Jones in dress shoes as noted by a crew member. Richard also isn't fully upright compared to jones perfect posture either.

Osman is most definitely closer in height to 6'8" Greg Davies. I think they are pretty much the same height going on the twitter photo together and Osman's poor posture, compared to Davies very upright one. In fact i think he could even be a little taller than Davies if he stood up straight. He doesn't seem to embrace his height like Davies.

One things for sure, if Jones is 6'7" ( which he looks to be ) then Osman is closer to 6'8".

Check it out Rob.

cheers

@Mark
I watched the Dragons Den episode where peter jones and richard osman stood back to back. It was interesting because, as they stood, one of the crew mentuoned that richard seemed slightly taller. Jones questioned if it was to do with osman's (higher) hair, at which point he then straightened to his tallest and looked exactly tbe same height as osman. Jones was wearing shoes which appeared to have a low-ish heel and osman wore converse trainers with his suit.
Arch Stanton said on 18/Apr/16
Rob can you add Peter Jones from Dragon's Den? See the photo of them below. He looks a proper 6'7 and if I remember rightly claimed 18.5 stone on Top Gear once. I remember he made Jeremy Clarkson look 6'4.
Editor Rob
yes I will add him as he looks the height he claims.
Alex said on 17/Apr/16
Think he deserves a slight upgrade, can look nearer 6'8 at times but has poor posture in a lot of photos and still looks a solid 6'7.
Mark said on 17/Apr/16
For reference here he is with Peter Jones from Dragon's Den who is also 6'7

I think he edges out Mark Labbett but he's far lankier
Andrew M said on 23/Jan/16
Oh gee, what a terrible burden he carries! My heart bleeds for him! Yawn!
movieyguy said on 30/Aug/15
Doesn't look any taller than Mark Labbett in photo below. I have seen Labbett in person and he is massive about 6'6'' to 6'7'' very broad shoulders.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 29/Apr/15
He looks similar to Greg Davis...looser posture though.

Both look 6ft7-8 range
Chaz said on 7/Apr/15
He was on a show with Greg Davis,and Greg said it's nice to be eye to eye with someone for a change.I think it was Would I Lie To You,
Rifle said on 4/Apr/15
Rob,
Do you think he can be close to 6'7" just out of bed( like 6'7.75)?
Editor Rob
he could be 6ft 8.5 range out of bed.
Josh b said on 2/Apr/15
He certainly seems to try and drop posture in a lot of photos But he's a genuine very very tall guy Click Here

Arch Stanton said on 31/Mar/15
Look at the way he stands though, he's doing all his best to drop height.Click Here Even with legs apart and slumped there's no way to hide that body. Imagine him stood straight and at his best out of bed in shoes in the morning.
Arch Stanton said on 31/Mar/15
@Andrea Compare Osman and 6'1" Paul o Grady and 6'9 Michael Crichton and 6'2 Sean Connery!
Arch Stanton said on 31/Mar/15
Mmm maybe his head isn't as long as I'd thought, that Osman full length photo seems to exaggerate it.
Arch Stanton said on 31/Mar/15
Perhaps an Ian White has an 11 inch head but in some photos Osman looks to have a particularly long head, even at this height. I'd have thought it would be at least 10 inches. 10.5 inches isn't impossible is it Rob?
Editor Rob
10.5 inches is a good possibility.
Andrea said on 28/Mar/15
Yeah, he's hot a huge head, even for his height! With Alexander Armstrong he does look over 6'7, considering he doesn't even stand straight in some photos... He can look near 6'8-6'9 next to him! Rob, do you think he'd be shorter than a Brad Garrett? To be fair, this guy gives a taller impression to me, easily! But he claims to be only 6'7... Mmh
Editor Rob
he could be a 6ft 7.5 guy and not bothering with the half, he's near another big quiz guy mark labbett who claims 6ft 6 and looks like that range in photos.
Tunman said on 27/Mar/15
nearly 11"or 28cm head?hell,that's gigantic even for a 6'7.I would have expected something around 26cm rather than 28.
Connor6'0 said on 25/Mar/15
Rob do you think 6'7.5" might be possible for Richard?
Editor Rob
it's not impossible he could measure it, he might have measured a fraction over 6ft 7 but doesn't bother with the fraction.
Arch Stanton said on 24/Mar/15
Yes, he's not a guy you could imagine dipping under it even at lowest. I'd say it's a safe bet he clears 6'8" out of bed. He looks like he's measure similar to Peter Crouch. Not surprising he gets so many comments on a daily basis, a legit 6'7 er will always get the "howz the weather up there" jokes. Contrary to what Mid190s thinks, a lot of guys will find it a curse being this tall, I know a 6'7" guy who wishes he was nearer 6 ft! Osman also seems to have an unusually long head too, might be near 11 inches looking at the comparison with Armstrong.
Editor Rob
this is one disadvantage of being very tall, how you cope with being in a way a 'public celebrity'. Compared to your average man who blends in, someone at 6ft 7 range is going to stand out amongst the crowds, so suddenly you have a massive amount of eyeballs that notice you...in a sense you become when out and about similar to a celebrity.
Arch Stanton said on 24/Mar/15
Click Here Looks more than 6 inches between him and Paul o Grady!
Arch Stanton said on 24/Mar/15
Rob do you think he's downgrading himself like Peter Crouch and might be a bit taller? Click Here He can certainly look 6'8" at times can't he?
Editor Rob
at times he could look over 6ft 7 flat, he could be a guy who is 6ft 7 at worst.
Arch Stanton said on 24/Mar/15
Looks every inch of it, in fact can look nearer 6'8 at times.
