How tall is Alex Kapranos

With Clara Luciani Click Here

She claims 182 cm. Has about 2in footwear advantage here so I reckon they could be similar. Several people meeting him and going higher than the flat 5ft 11, so 5ft 11 1/2 may be a good figure

I would hazzard 6ft but certainly no taller. Quite confused by Leo's post because to me in that picture he looks far closer to Alex Turner's height and really, really quite distinctly shorter than Casbalancas even when taking into account the fact that he is standing behind him and is a little hunched.

Well, sorry for posting again, but... I should say that a certain factor may have helped him to look taller... (02:06 at the video below)

Those shoes apparently increases many inches for him. Anyways, I still mean that he's not only 5' 11".

I met him at the backstage on a concert in Brasilia. He's definitely NOT 5' 11". I am 5' 8", and he was really like 20 cm taller than me. My brother is 5' 11" and he was even well shorter than Alex Kapranos. He's probably near 6' 4". I mean it. There's also a picture of him with Alex Turner and Julian Casablancas, where shows him clearly taller than both. My brother and I have also a picture with him. Please, it's totally feasible to correct the information posted. He's NOT 5' 11".

i always thought he was in the 6'0 range, at least 5'11, hes lanky so he looks taller.

I met him after a show. I'm 5'7 and was wearing flats...he towered over me. He's 6ft minimum. he's a very nice man :) can i brag here? he kissed me before i left. love this band

Very skinny so makes him look taller. I would have said around 5'11". Is it me or does this guy look like a cross between Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen who played Le Chiffre in Casino Royale and David Tennant?

he's a pointy-healed shoe wearer. I'm not convinced he's a genuine 5'11.

Yeap I'd say that is right I stood next to him, I'm 5 6" and he seemed to tower over me!!!

Hrmm, I'm surprised aswell. He's quite thin, and so looks more vertical (hehe) than he maybe is. I guessed about 5'9"! But, apparently, he scrapes six foot. Jude Law is also somewhat slight, and so gave me a similar impression, but he's also listed at 5'11". Ah, shucks! The music's great, anyway

Met him, he's about a centimete taller than me, and I'm just over 5'10, so 5'11 makes sense. I thought he'd be taller but the rest of the band, it seems, are just short.

I think this guy's taller than that. Well that's based on some footage from him standing next to Tara Reid..But then again..she's really short. I think that impression must be due to his thin build. Anyway, he's a tall guy.

I'm very surprised at this listing. I never suspected him anything over 5'10". I think his incredibly thin/skinny build can give off the apperance of being taller. I always figured he looked so much taller in his band, because the other members always looked so short.

Just saw these guys in concert and Alex looked really small I'd say he is 170 but who cares? heee isss hooot

how tall is the lovely paul thomson? its hard 2 tell since he is sitting down most of the time.

Stella said on 13/Apr/06
Somewhere around 5'11" is I'd say about right. I had the lucky opportunity to get autographs and standing next to him he appears to be about the same height as my dad and my dad is not quite six feet tall, more like 5'11".

was at a franz ferdinand concert yesterday, got pretty close. he looks to be pretty similar to my height and build and im 178.5cm thats like 5'10"? GO FRANZ!

Never really met him but from my point of view I think he's like 6 ft. and he's the tallest fom the band. So I think he's pretty tall.
