Wes Anderson's Height
6ft 1 (185.4 cm)
American film-maker, who directed such films as The Grand Budapest Hotel, Moonrise Kingdom, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, Fantastic Mr. Fox and Bottle Rocket.
In 1999, he mentioned that "Whenever people describe me in print, they always say that I'm 6-foot-1 and something like 112 pounds. They make me out to be a total rail - which I am, but I hate reading my weight in articles."

He has no chances to be taller than Keanu Reeves!
6'0 3/4" is better right now :)

Yeah good point! I’ve seen Gerald V Casale, Mark’s Devo, bandmate, look shorter than Gary Numan but then he a little taller than David Bowie, weirdly enough. Gerald usually looks to be taller than Mark. Devo worked with Neil Young a bit but I can’t find any evidence of Neil standing with them, same thing with Iggy Pop.
Maybe Numan can sport some big heels at time. In my book, Mark can have a weak 5’9” (I could see him similar height as someone like Paul Rudd) and Gerald maybe 5’10” at pea.

Rob, how tall would you estimate Mark Mothersbaugh, the frontman of Devo and frequent composer of Wes’s and other films, looks with Anderson here?: Click Here

Editor RobI'm not sure about that guy, seeing him with 5ft 8 and change Gary Numan and he can look taller and shorter than him!

Editor RobThere is a chance of that. More than say 186cm.

112 pounds at 6'1? No way for that. He look very skinny and narrow shoulders but look at least a 135-138 pounds hippie director.

Rob, I don't quite get you when you say B could be a mid-morning range?
These figures are supposed to represent the overall morning (out of bed to be precise) to evening shrinkage. I think B is arguable for him. He looks similar to Bill Murray in Cannes photos and close to 2in taller Ed Norton. A sloucher though....

Editor RobI'm saying he could be a little under 6ft 1 by afternoon.

Anywhere in the 6' 0.5" - 6' 1" zone is arguable.

He looks shorter than me, give him a 184 downgrade.

He isn’t quite the 185 Cm guy, is seeing more 184 for him, he shouldn’t be listed higher than 6’0.75”.

112lbs is ridiculous, he'd be close to death at that weight. Still underweight for his height though. I think he's around 140-150lbs

112pounds is a joke imo,I reached 127 (currently around 133-36)at one point and I was very thin despite being only 5'9.5".The chances that someone taller turns 15pounds lighter than me are already very small except maybe for some female models and not many imo,but a 6'1 dude?Would have thought he weighs around 140pounds which is still very thin for him,at 112 he would be a walking dead,lol.

I don't think he was saying he was 112 pounds exactly but admits he's as thin as a rail, I could see him as low as 135-140ish maybe.

Yes! Finally! My favorite director. I knew he would be listed at an honest 6ft 1 too. I have seen all of his movies, true original content.

Good addition, love pages for directors. Hmm, I read an article that stated they were the same height but Bill Murray can seem to edge him, not by much, like a quarter inch or so, but I think there's a chance that Anderson's a weaker 6'1". I think Wes generally holds a bit of slouchy posture which does not help, when Bill is often standing his best and Murray could arguably be a fraction over the 6'1" mark up until recently. There's a lot of stills with them together on google.

Definitely with guys who are not over the six foot mark like Edward Norton, Adrien Brody, Bruce Willis or Luke Wilson, Wes definitely can seem close to 6'1" as he has at least a good inch on any of them.
