Rob, I don't know, his arm-level would indicate he's got nearly 8 inches over you, maybe his head could be bigger than average and made him 1 full inch taller than listed, hence 6'3.5 instead of 6'2.5??
Editor Rob
he never looked that tall to me.
5'8.18758596 said on 5/Jul/11
Maybe 6'3 Rob??
Terryman said on 22/Jun/11
it the same case with jack coleman because they both look a legit 6'2 people think they should be listed at 6'3 so that now guys who are 1,87m can be upgraded to 6'2 by the legendary upgraders of this site!
Lenad said on 14/Jun/11
I can see 6.5-7 inches taller
MD said on 11/Jun/11
Sam, I actually laughed out loud at that one. lol Thanks for that.
sam said on 9/Jun/11
he looks like a giant jonas brother
James said on 8/Jun/11
I am with Viper Bale looks 5'11 most of the time.
Chameleon said on 8/Jun/11
No, he looks 189cm in the pic.
Viper said on 7/Jun/11
Bale is probably under 6-0.
Mohammed, he looks spot on 6-2 flat in that pic. Not 6-2.5
Peter said on 6/Jun/11
Routh was standing next to Christian Bale at the MTV movie awards, and he totally towered over Bale is six feet tall flat. I could swear that Routh is 6'5"!!! Its surprising he is 6'2.5" tall.
Chameleon said on 31/May/11
Yep Mohammed this guy is bang on 189cm.
Mohammed said on 29/May/11
Has the frame of a 6'2 guy, looks spot on 6'2.5 on that piture.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 24/May/11
6"2.75(190cm) could be on target...I think Ashton Kutcher may be that aswell.
I agree 6"2 is crazy for Bale except when he's in the Batman Suit
James said on 21/May/11
6'2 for Bale is beyond ridicolous
J.J. said on 18/May/11
Rob would you rule out 6'2.75" for Brandon?
Editor Rob
6ft 2.75 isn't improbable
Cranberries (6 ft. 3.25 evening, 17 years) said on 17/May/11
He doesn't look like a "mamouth" to me, juststic. In general, Routh's unique build make him look taller. Brandon Routh's head and shoulders are about the same size as Rob's (shoulders might be an inch broader, max). I struggle to see him at anything over 189cm.
Phil said on 17/May/11
The most telling photo of Brandon Routh is the one where he is standing next to Christian Bale, Bale was once purported to be 6'2". If Bale really was that tall than Routh would be 6'6". Who knows maybe Routh was wearing boots that made him even taller. Regardless 6'2" seems about right for him, 2 inches shorter than Reeve. Routh always appeared to be a leaner and somewhat smaller version of the Reeve Superman. The new guy Henry Cavill, is even smaller.
James said on 17/May/11
juststic says on 3/May/11
@James, Yeah but he just looks like a mamouth there with rob, even considering the hair advantage, but 6'2 is bordeline very tall people need to remember that, really tall is 6'3+ no doubt, and giant is 6'7+ this is all true i'm not lying to you
yeah i agree he looks huge next to rob. this just goes to show how tall a strong 6'2 guy really is. and i agree 6'2 is borderline very tall. people say 6'2 is not really that tall becuase guys who are between 6'0-6'1 claim it.
gogo said on 13/May/11
looks like kaka
189-190 on this photo
Chameleon said on 10/May/11
Yea he's 1.89 the listed height, lmao @ the ppl who say 190+
James said on 2/May/11
u have to remember how much height brandons hairstyle is adding in the pic
Chameleon said on 30/Apr/11
EXACTLY juststic....
Lenad said on 29/Apr/11
I would say absolute min 6'2
Chameleon said on 27/Apr/11
In fact, hes nothing over it.
Chameleon said on 17/Apr/11
I stick with 189cm.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 12/Apr/11
6"2.75(190cm)
Chameleon said on 10/Apr/11
Looks 189 to me.
xyz.reg said on 10/Apr/11
Looks 191cms easily with rob being 5ft 8.25in..but when i saw the pic in which there was stadiometer comparison with rob,he was found to be 189cms...i couldn't believe my eyes..!!!
adams1818 said on 9/Apr/11
he can be 190cm, for sure more than 6'2.
Michael said on 27/Mar/11
He looks 190cm, built much bigger than the diminutive Henry Cavill. Miles better than Cavill in donning the Superman suit.
Chameleon said on 14/Mar/11
He is the listed height, 1.89..
Clay said on 12/Mar/11
I dont see anything but a 6'3 guy next to Ron, TBH.
MsKitty said on 5/Mar/11
Sorry to all the fans stating that he is the "perfect Superman"...I don't think he looks anything like Supes. I think that based on his non-Superman photos I would never have chosen him. Zachary Levi would be better than Brandon Routh. But I'm happy with Henry Cavill, who looks NOTHING like Marc Anthony!
As for his height, I think 6'2.5 is pretty accurate.
And Editor Rob, what lovely and very blue eyes you have! :D
Chameleon said on 1/Mar/11
Easy 6'3? I dont think so.
HULK said on 1/Mar/11
EASY 6'3 SAME AS THE ROCK(DWAYNE JOHNSON)WHOS 6'3
LOOOKS 7in DIFFERENCE IN THE PICTURE
aaronious said on 24/Feb/11
routh looks bad in that pic.. so out of shape
Viper said on 22/Feb/11
He looks no taller than a flat 6-2 with Rob
hs2010 said on 21/Feb/11
He could be 190cm stretched out IMO. Certainly not under 189cm.
James said on 15/Feb/11
Yeah not over 6'2.5.
jacob said on 12/Feb/11
i think he is 6ft.3 inches tall
jacob said on 12/Feb/11
brandon routh looks like the perfect superman.why are they hiring a guy that looks like marc anthony(jennifer lopez`s husband)in the next superman film in 2012?

I didn't realize 6'2 was this tall...
Yuri said on 20/Jan/11
Hi i'm from Brazil. I love this site and i have a question about Brandon routh.
He's realy strong? or the tv make that?
Sorry my english =)
Editor Rob
he's a physically fit man and pretty strong, but if he was in an arm wrestle with
SuperMAMUN he may lose...
Shaun said on 9/Jan/11
I would claim 6'3" at his height.
Pamco said on 6/Jan/11
Looks 6'2.5. The size of a persons' head may vary, Brandon got a bit bigger head than the general person, hence you can't apply the "where the top of robs head is in comparison to x".
Menace 195cm said on 6/Jan/11
gorgeous guy without doubt, nice height too at 189cm, tho being 6 cm taller would be much much better..
Anonymous said on 5/Jan/11
Rob comes up to about the top of his nostrils, so that's about 6 inches differences. So 5ft 8in + 6 inches = 6ft 2in.
krazy krippled! said on 2/Jan/11
Brandon is 6'3, if
Jason Momoa is 6'4.
Rodrigo said on 31/Dec/10
He may actually be half an inch shorter, he looks much taller in this photo due to his hair, which migh give him 2 cm more. He's kinda skinny for his height so it gives the illusion of more height.
Clay said on 27/Dec/10
Viper says on 3/Dec/10
He doesnt look 6'3. He looks 6'2
That is 6.5-7 inches.
Sam Rick said on 23/Dec/10
Rob I hope you do not mind a few questions about Brandon
1.HOW MUCH DOES HE WEIGH TO YOU?
2.DOES HE WEAR BAGGY CLOTHES?
3.DOES HE LOOKS ALOT LIKE CHRISTOPHER REEVE?
4.WHAT WAS HIS CHARACTER?
Editor Rob
between 200-210, he seemed like a pleasant fellow
Observant said on 17/Dec/10
Rob has already posted a picture proving routh is 189cm tall,assuming same footwear 189cm is his height, end of story

He doesnt look 6'3. He looks 6'2

he's very tall but doesnt seem much larger than rob
Matt said on 12/Nov/10
I compared this photo with the photo of rob standing next to the height stand, and the top of this guys head touches 189.0cm on the dot, this guy really is 189cm no more no less
Tim said on 12/Nov/10
he looks 193 in this pic
Alex said on 7/Nov/10
Thats a 6 inch difference between Rob and Brandon.
Alex said on 7/Nov/10
At least 6'2, maybe 6'2 1/2.
Vegas, yea that looks like a pretty close comparison to how I would measure up against Routhe.
Yelmer said on 6/Nov/10

He is definetly not a short person and definetly in the 6'2.5 to 6'3 range....its kinda of obvious. One of the few legit tall guys without lifts.
Lenad said on 4/Jul/09
189-190cm. He's way bigger than Christian Bale
J.J. said on 2/Jul/09
'Rob' a solid 6'2.5" guy who can easily get away with 6'3" or a little over. But he is not even a 6'3" yet. A rock solid 6'2.5". How come somepeople get measured properly & some don't get measure properly.
James said on 2/Jul/09
Next to rob he looks a solid 6'3.
Doug said on 30/Jun/09
Looks roughly the same height as Tom Welling 6'2.5".
sprint84 said on 30/Jun/09
Same photographic evidence as Zachary Levi, so I'll just repost a message from his page (replacing Levi's name with Routh's of course)..........
Actually, wowuguys, that would make his head 12+ inches, which is impossible given that it is the same height as Rob's head (approx. 9.75") in the photo.
Routh has 2/3 of his head height over Rob meaning he is 6.5" taller in the pic (2/3 x 9.75 = 6.5). If Rob is 5'8-8.25", Routh is 6'2.5-2.75".
I know it's just one photo, but my best guesses...
6'4" in shoes, 6'3" in the morning, 6'2.5" mid-day.
J.J. said on 24/Jun/09
solid 189cm guy exactly 6'2.5" in this photo
wowuguys said on 16/Jun/09
actually he has rob by more than 6 inch its more like 7 or 8 inch for a guy if it was 6 rob almost reach his eyeline which he doesnt

I have a 10" long head at 5'10 1/2". Am I a freak? A monster?
-------------------------------------------------------------
ABSOLUTELY NOT. My head is around the same about 10-10.5 and 24" around. I'm (5ft11ish weak 6ft max) and there are plenty guys with much much bigger heads than us. I do have a long head but not a wide head. From my the bottom of my nose to top highest part of my head is 7". To others Make sure you measure to top of the head not hairline. Balance a big book on your head to get the measurement and down to your chin. I thought mine was 11" until I did the book thing.
If his he 7" from nose to top of head then I could see 6ft3. I'm positive that guys head is 10" if Robs is 9.5 because I've scaled it up and yes there is also about 7" to the top of his head from the bottom of his nose.
Hugh 190cm said on 13/Apr/09

People say routh has short legs. Does he have abigger ionseam than 32 inches in his trousers?
RobertJ said on 7/Jan/09
MarcustheSwede- Footwear could easily explain that discrepancy but regardless, Routh is absolutely minimum 6'2'' and no one here disagrees with that.
victor said on 26/Dec/08
Anyone know how long Rouths legs are or what his inseam measurement is?
Alex said on 13/Nov/08
6'2 1/2 max with Rob. May just be 6'2 flat, no less though. This is assuming Routh's eye level is 4.5 inches from the top of his head.
unknown said on 9/Oct/08
look at this pic
Click Herehe look the same as the rock so he is 6'3 or something
Smallville said on 22/Sep/08
I also met Brandon Routh in Mk in May and i noticed he was wearing boots with high backs. I am 6ft 1 and in the photo he looks a lot taller so I'm guessing in flat shoes he wouldn't be as tall. Just need to meet the Rock now and my life will be complete.

"ok that was totally gay...I recognize a good looking guy when I see him, but I never say or even think the word 'sexy' in regard to him, my brain just doesnt go there. Not that there is anything wrong with that."
If you believe there's nothing wrong with that, why did you comment on the guy being "totally gay." Obviously it did bother you since you replied to his comment and even explained how your "brain just doesn't go there". Dude grow up.

No way man, he's 6'2.75"!
I'm just curious, is this like a fetish or something?
clark said on 24/Jul/08
My cousin met him in L.A., my cousin is a solid 6'2"and 1/4 in flat feet. He said Brandon Routh was atleast a half inch, or more taller. The funny thing he said, is that they were both wearing black converse all stars. He said Brandon was very easy to speak to and a gentleman to all the fans. His best guess onhe height was that Brandon was atleast 6'2" and 3/4 and my cousin is not the type of guy to talk about height. But I was able to get it out of him.
Guy said on 15/Jul/08
Tnx, luv ya. fr educating us abt the camera angles & the difference it makes, yes the inch is quiet big, thats why i doubt him being 6.2 and a half. Rob considering how big the inch is, are u 100% sure he is 6 and half inches taller? I think is the best pic in this whole forum, so much i visit this page first. and i always assume 6.2 or 6.2 and 1/4 max. PLs answer my query. tnx
BlackRay said on 15/Jul/08
Yes with dress shoes on the Rock is about 193 cms tall, hence 6 ft 4in. Brandon Routh is then 192 cm 6ft 3.5in also in dress shoes.

No he isn't.
Anonymous said on 30/Jun/08
The Rock is 6'5". that's definite. That I know.
Marty said on 22/Jun/08
I think that the top of Rob's head is a bit above the tip of Brandon's nose. I see at least a .5 inch difference between the top of Rob's head and the tip of Brandon's nose if not .75 inch,
Editor Rob
with that short hairstyle take away about 7-8mm (0.3 inch) to find where my skull is.
Marty said on 19/Jun/08
I kinda see a 14 cm difference between Rob and Brandon. Measuring the width of Rob's hand and assuming that it is about 3.5" you then get approximately 1.54 hand width difference in height between Rob and Brandon wich if you multiply by 3.5" gives roughly a 14cm difference, give or take .5cm wich would put Brandon at about 187cm ( rounded from 186.7 ) so in my view 6 ft 1.5 in
Guy said on 14/Jun/08
I THINK brandon has 6 inches and a quarter or more likely 6 inches from his nose to the top of his head not taking his PUFFY hair into account. we can see 4only 4 inches frm his middle eye point to the tip of his head removing haie to be 110% accurate. May be 4 inch an quarter nt more.
Halb said on 12/Jun/08
In those pics the Rock is taller. Routh is standing tall and straight, Rock has a slight lean, both have same shoes on flat surface and Rock is taller.
RobertJ said on 10/Jun/08
Joe257 - yes, they made him about 6'4'' with thick heeled boots since, I'm assuming, they wanted to keep continuity since Reeve said he was 6'4'' in Superman the movie. Of course another may be they just wanted him to look bigger.
Joe257 said on 8/Jun/08
Did they make him look 6'4" on Superman Returns? I remember him being noticeably taller than most people in the movie. He towered over Kevin Spacey.
Yaspaa said on 7/Jun/08
top of the head to tip of the nose is about 6.5" making Brandon 6'2.5
big kid said on 6/Jun/08
definitely not 6' 3"

i reckon his true height is around 6'2 to 6'2.5 max not quite 6'3
Marco said on 4/Jun/08
I agree with ola, i think routh is exactly 6'3, no way less. I can see those almost 20 cm over rob.
Yaspaa said on 21/May/08
No Rob page so Routh's will have to do,thanks a lot mate.
Yaspaa said on 20/May/08
About 6.5 inches to the tip of the nose so 6'2.5 looks right,6'3 for Rock.
Viper said on 19/May/08
That floor does look like it might slope towards that drainage area.

Is it me or is Rock closer to the camera in that pic as well?

I am happy viper belives me. I belive You have great talent in recognising precise dude buddy. I observed u comments many times. They seem almost perfect in etimates.
guy said on 19/May/08
Pic 1-
Click Here Bro. Is nt the floor higher marginally where rock is standing. The floor is nt 100% flat.
Vegas, the debate with rock being taller is not dead.
[Editor Rob: there is 2 pics were they are same distance and those pics actually make it hard to see much difference between the two of them. If Rock is 6ft 4 routh to me looks like he'd have to be close to that aswell...]
Viper said on 19/May/08
"A man who was at times listed at 6'5 playing college football is not in the 6'2 range imo"
Thats not true Vegas. JJ Arrington who is in the 5-8 range was listed at 5-11 in high school and in college.
Da Man said on 18/May/08
In the last two pics the camera is tilted heavily in Rouths favor.
guy said on 18/May/08
I think there might be exactly 4.5 inch difference so he indeed acurately 6.2 and a half.
guy said on 18/May/08
Guys do u think Routh's head from middle of eye line to tip of his head is 4 inches ??, 4.5 inches?? or 5 inches?.
There may be 5 inches. If there is 5 inches he is no doubt 6.3 inches.
guy said on 18/May/08
Hi Viper, there are also some pics which i would show u to please vegas & others. Vegas posted them previously. he posted them to prove previously rock is taller.
Pic 1-
Click Here Pic 1- Analysis-
This is similar to Pic 2- I posted in my previous post having routh & rock analysis. Rocks appears taller. why???
Ans- I belive Rock shoe heel is marginally bigger than routh heel as shown clearly in Pic2 of my previous analysis. Secondly, The floor on which rock is standing is little higher than the floor on which routh is standing. Once feel with you heart and imagine routh coming into rock's position ( on the little higher floor) with the head held high like that , wearing rocks foot wear.
Wouldn't he also look tall like rock did.
Pic 2-
Click Here Pic2- Same feeling like pic 1, Here rock is more closer to the camera.
Conclusion- There are pics rock taller, routh look taller, but routh has more disadvantage. Hope my analysis saw the whole picture to prove they are indeed 100% equal. or atleast 99.99999% so rock shud be down graded to 6.2 and a half. tnx.
guy said on 18/May/08
I am assuming Hulk hogan is 6.3 presently, seeing their fight on youtube if he stood straight next to 6.2 and a halh rock. I am aiming 100% accuracy, though.
Hogan looks 100% similar to Lou ferringo in pics, This proves it. For visitors visit lou ferringo page which shows both are similar in height like routh & rock.
Viper said on 18/May/08
Actually, Routh really does look taller in the last 2 pics.
Viper said on 18/May/08
Both are 188-189cm at the absolute most.
guy said on 18/May/08
I Got an excellent pic1.
Click HerePls bro, study my following case points carefully.
Pic1.Here routh looks 1 mm taller than rock, even though we imagine routh is as bald as rock.
Click Here Pic2- here we can prove rocks shoe soles are marginally bigger than routh. You might think rock as disadvantage as he is standing in a slightly lower floor, but only 1 leg is on the higher floor. But there are many many pics posted by bro vegas, ray & others down below frm 9 april 2007 or so, where rock stands on a little higher level & closer to the camera. I think u ll agree the floor is not 100 % flat.
Click HerePic3-Despite rock being close to camera, having bigger heal, standing on a slightly higher floor. he looks equal routh in this pic. Just imagine once by heart he went little back to stand right next to routh would he be equal??
Click Herepic 4- what does it say?///? I just want respected folks like rob, danimal, viper, glen , vegas to think he is equal to rock if not taller.
Click Herepic5.This is just fr fun.
Conclusion- My goal was to prove Both are equal 100% and pray rock be brought back to 6.2 and a half. I love both of them.
Yaspaa said on 15/May/08
Da Man, it looks like there is no more than around 1.5" difference in circumference and head height for most normal guys,it's funny because my mate's head is tiny ,like a grape,I couldn't believe his 22.5" around measurement. I had the same friend over last night aswell as another friend (5'11 190lbs),his head height was approximately 9" and 23.4" around. They both think I'm nuts lol.
Da Man said on 13/May/08
23 3/16" head circumference here. My head was actually 8.95" long, so really 9".
Yaspaa said on 6/May/08
Yes,my friend has only a 8.3" head but his circumference is 22.5.
Yaspaa said on 5/May/08
I have a friend coming over tonight who is 5'9 but has a small build (135lbs ,33 years old). I'll see what his head sizes are.
Yaspaa said on 30/Apr/08
I can only find one site on the net that gives average male head height and according to them its 7.76",where do they get this lame information? Just measured the 'circumference' of my head and it is 23.5" average is a more believable 22.7".
Da Man said on 24/Apr/08
I just used Rob's method for myself. There was exactly 4.5" to the center of my eyeline, exactly 6.5" to the tip of my nose and my head is 8.9" long at 6'2.5".
Yaspaa said on 23/Apr/08
Anyone out there got a ten incher lol.
Viper said on 23/Apr/08
I have a 9.5 head at 6-3.

Phew,that makes me feel better,I was starting to feel a bit freaky,anyway,hope you hit that 196.
ronyo98 said on 22/Apr/08
I used Rob's method and here's what I got: my head is 9.1" big, from the tip of my nose to the top of my head there's 6" and from my eye level 4.75"
Editor Rob
that's pretty typical, usually 9-9.25 but for your size of 6ft 3 9.5 might be more average. Women can have just 8-8.5 inch long heads because the jaw is smaller than a man's in many cases. Actually if you go to nora zehetner on this site that lady has barely even 8 inch head
ronyo98 said on 22/Apr/08
By the way, growing up I was never thinking about my height. And I was kinda small until I hit'ed puberty, I remeber being 168cm at the age of 14,5. Then BUM. My younger brother on the other han was always big, the biggest in his class, and we always thought he would be at least 195cm but has reached "only" 193cm. My dad is 186cm and mom 177cm
ronyo98 said on 22/Apr/08
I'm felling great about my height.And to tell you the truth I wanna be even taller.196cm would be ideal.but even with 191cm I'm taller then 90% people on the street.My height just make's me feel good and it give's me more selfconfidence. And not to mentioned that girls love taller guys ;)) Adding to the equation exerceising, both mentally and phisicaly, and being always ready to help people is the way I wanna(i trying)to live. Best regards ;)
Yaspaa said on 22/Apr/08
About 6'4 early afternoon. I've just measured my head using Rob's technique and it's about 9.75ish". My legs aren't particularly long for my height,I'd probably be under 6'3 if it wasn't for my bobble head lol. Being this tall has never really sat well with me ,I'm quite reserved in the real world and don't really like being on display but my 6'5 pal loves it and constantly feels the need to remind me that he's 6'5 like it's some kind of achievement. My wife is 5'9 and I've got a 3 year old son and he's already twice the size of the other kids his age,I'm worried about him ending up too tall. How do you feel about being so tall?
ronyo98 said on 22/Apr/08
Cool tip Rob, thanks. I will try that
Yaspaa said on 22/Apr/08
ronyo98.....5.15" comes just under my eye. Can there really be this much difference? I'ts freaking me out a bit.
Yaspaa said on 22/Apr/08
Thanks for the reply dude. This could put a spanner in the works. I've been using my 6.5" balloon head (nose tip to top of head) as a base for judging others,I'll have to come up with a new technique lol. Take care.
ronyo98 said on 21/Apr/08
Yes i'd made a metric to ft conversion error. 171.5cm is my chin level, 177.5cm(5'9.4/5") the tip of my nose and 181.5cm my eye level. I have a smaller forehead so that's why there's only 5.15"(13cm) and not 6 or more from the tip of my nose to the top of my head. morfology mate ;)
but still comparing my friend(who is a legit 176cm) to me, and Rob(who is 173cm) to Routh results that the top of their head comes to our nose. even if Routh forehead is bigger that mine that can be by 3cm. so 188-189cm should be Routh's height
Yaspaa said on 21/Apr/08
So from the tip of your nose to the top of your head is 4.75"...I'd measure again mate. Around 6-6.5" is the norm which from the picture indicates Brandon at the given height. Your mate looks a bit under 5'9 aswell considering your leaning slightly.
ronyo98 said on 19/Apr/08
Well i'm 6'3.5"(192cm) in the morning and a 6'3(190.5cm) at evening. At evening 5'7.5" comes to my chin, 5'10 1/4 to the tip of my nose and 5'11.5 is my eye level. So, according to the picture above, I belive Routh can't be 6'3.
This is me with my 5'9.5 friend

Charliemoto said on 19/Apr/08
is it me or he looks way taller than BLACKIE LAWLESS? from W.a.s.p
Blackie is a 6'4 yet looks way shorter than this actor wtf
Brandon must be at least 6'3 if not higher.
RobertJ said on 16/Apr/08
Routh was maybe an inch taller in other photos but Hugh was wearing trainers which don't give as much heel as Routh's dress shoes. Routh is probably a half-inch taller than Jackman flat so that picture is no surprise but you still gotta consider footwear.
Yaspaa said on 11/Apr/08
Yeah,Rock looked slightly taller.
Da Man said on 7/Apr/08
The Rock was the same height or marginally taller than Routh in those pics.
Anonymous said on 5/Apr/08
saw some pictures of routh with the rock stand close..the rock was bill as 6ft3 but looks that tiny 1 ~ 2cm lower routh height.. if dwayne johnson `the rock` was 6ft3 routh should be about 6ft4..
Mike Zappa said on 4/Apr/08
I agree he is like 189 Im 6-2 and have 2 friends who are 5-8 and we have the same height difference The Rock is not a strong 6-4 so this seems correct
Da Man said on 30/Mar/08
There isn't 7" there, a ~6.5" gap would put Rob at Routh's nose, ~7" slightly below it. Rob is above Routh's nose here.
footballed28 said on 27/Mar/08
honestly, I see a 7 inch difference there...and keep in mind that even at night, Rob is a good 5'8....so assuming this pic was taken at night...that would make Routh between 6'2 3/4 and 6'3
Anonymous said on 20/Mar/08
Gary you are right perhaps 6'2.5 in morning and a legit 6'2 later a day.

well, in a promotion on E! for superman Returns he said he was 6"2 so I guess that he is.

6'1'' is a RIDICULOUS claim! I mean look at how tall he looks??! I have 5'8' friends, and know the difference! This man is obviously 6'2'' or 6'3''! but when yiou're that tall, what's the difference????
RobertJ said on 19/Feb/08
yeah Routh's 6'1''...please the dude is minimum 6'2'', all evidence supports this.

Why does rob has his eyes and nose cut out? I hate pics like this, they creep me out!
Editor Rob
imagine if you had to put up with seeing my whole ugly mug, you'd be even more creeped out!
no, it's all about the "celeb heights" on here, folk really only need to know I'm 5ft 8 and my head is "9 and a 1/3 inch" in most pics. If they want they can figure out height differences from that or from using the celeb's head.
RobertJ said on 13/Feb/08
Yes but he could very well be close to 6'3'' flat but I think the current listing is most accurate.
Viper said on 11/Feb/08
Rob is right in that he looks 6-2 exactly in the picture next to him.
Korben said on 11/Feb/08
Rob, in these pics how tall is the cameraman / or how high is the camera stand, and how far back is it about?
Thanks
Editor Rob
this guy is around 6 foot, although sometimes I see him with cowboy sized heel.
Usually these guys are 3.5-4 foot using a decent wide angle.
Better explanation: - if the celeb is tall it's likelier the photographer will stay tall so the lense is maybe eyeline-hairline zone. If the celeb is my height or shorter, he usually shoots with poorer stance, so the lense could be in mouth-eyeline zone.
venus said on 16/Jan/08
Sry 2 say, but he's 6'2, he seems to be stretching his neck next to Rob. The top of Rob's head is up to his nose. His hair is high also, great height disguise.
Editor Rob
visually he really comes in at 188cm mark.
Robbie H said on 12/Jan/08
he looks at least 6'3 to me in this pic
AAAA said on 8/Jan/08
I had no idea who Molale was, but the photo was pretty good and when I looked him up his height was consistently listed at 6'4, and all the sites made a pretty big deal about his height, so it seemed plausablie he was 6'4. Who is he anyway
TNTinCA said on 4/Jan/08
Might even have a bit more height. I don't think he is quite 6'3", but very close.
He was a good choice for the Superman role. Although the movie was a little underwhelming, I thought he did a good performance.
Alex2 said on 4/Jan/08
He loks gigantic there with Rob, like 6'5 just look lol
Sam said on 4/Jan/08
he does have the superman look. :P i'd say brandon is a good 6'3 flat.
JohnP said on 4/Jan/08
It looks like Molale would be a good 5 inches shorter than Mane actually if both stood straight (Mane is bending much more than Molale, as you can see).
Where is that guy who straightens up people in pictures when he is needed? lol
Vegas said on 3/Jan/08
its also debatable whether molale is a full 6'4, i suspect he is not because 6'8 tyler mane has approx 5 inches on him

patrick said on 3/Jan/08
AAAA's pic shows a noticeable difference between the 6'4 man and Brandon Routh. Still remains to know what shoes the first one was wearing! I am taller than "taller people" depending my shoes...
Your opinion please.
RobertJ said on 3/Jan/08
Routh is wearing basketball shoes so he'll have slight advantage but we don't Molale's footwear. I've always said 6'2.5'' minimum for Routh, I think 6'3'' is more accurate though.

compared to other 6'3 celebs like Billy Corogan and Tony Hawk. Measuring Head to nose. Routh looks to be 6'3 and then some.
patrick said on 3/Dec/07
There are 16.5 to 17 inches between them; Brandon has a long head. That puts him at 6'2.5 to 6'3. Take a right scale please!
supes78 said on 30/Nov/07
Well considering Rob met the man and verified that he is 6'2.5" tall, any more photographic evidence to dispute that seems like a moot point.
patrick said on 30/Nov/07
Sorry supes78, but "no", in any case! I repeat that you have no idea of how deceptive is a tiny change of angle and the use of a wide angle! Nothing is easier than making believe someone is taller or shorter than cinema shooting or photography (even easier!). Until you observe it yourself, you won't be convinced and that is why I will not still insist about it.
Ask anybody knowing that stuff better than you and you will see.
That pic is not the best, this is the worst ever to gauge each of tese men!
supes78 said on 29/Nov/07
Well, considering the photo with Beckham was taken during a charity soccer match that both of them played in, it's a safe bet the footwear was similar. I'm not saying it's an ideal shot, but a 6'3" person should look taller, telephoto lens or not.
patrick said on 29/Nov/07
Guys: that pic is typically the kind of one not being able to be taken as a proof! The other guy could even be shorter, I assure you I can make appear him taller than Brandon and for one simple reason: they use a telephoto lenses!
Any photographer, even an amateur, will be able to confirm it! I confess I am surprised in seeing people caught out like that with a so simple and commong normal thing, not even a "trick"; just a way of shooting people!
By the way I pratice photography for 40 years.
RobertJ said on 28/Nov/07
your right he doesn't BUT we can't see footwear or the ground.

Guys! Wow, you, AAAA as DaMan, impress me once more! So may I add something? Tyson as all those natural very big guys we all meet from time to time, is indeed mesomorphic but mesomorphic does not mean Tyson type.
I mean, mesomorphic defines a type of people having the ability to gain (or loose) a lot of muscle and also, fat BUT not in the same proportion and never as an endomorphic one would do it. (I mean
AAAA said on 16/Oct/07
Yeah.... he was insanly musclar with so little bodyfat. I think in his prime he was 225 lbs of solid muscle on his 6'1 frame. That is quite large anyway, but he had almost no fat
Blackmax said on 16/Oct/07
Tom Welling and Brandon Routh look exactly the same height, but Welling maybe a bit taller or visa versa. They both do look 6ft 2 1/2ins.
Da Man said on 16/Oct/07
Bo Jackson, that's definitely a good example of a true meso. Remember those Black and Blue posters?
AAAA said on 15/Oct/07
Excellent Point Daman. I remeber reading somewhere that he was already 200 lbs at the age of 13 and could bech over his own body weight. Now that you got me thinking, Bo jackson is pretty close to a true meso then. I read that he didn't even start to work out until after his hip injury, and he was a an outstanding physical specimen, same as tyson, at a real young age. And he looks even bigger now
Da Man said on 15/Oct/07
AAAA, you're thinking of the ectomorph somatype. Endomorph is the larger, heavier, rounder body type. I agree with you that both Welling and Routh are combinations of mesomorph and ectomorph body types, with Welling leaning more towards mesomorph than Routh. Mike Tyson I think is probably a good example of something close to a true mesomorph.
AAAA said on 13/Oct/07
LOL....Tom looks like a Lumberjack in that photo Da Man. I could see welling maybe being a bit shorter, but I tend to believe they are the same height.
What I really find funny is how lean Welling was at the start of Smallville, and what a Bear he can look like now. Routh has a really thin natural frame. outh is more of the endomorph(I think this is the skinny one but not sure, so please let me know if I am wrong), and welling seems closer to mesomorph. both men are in between meso and endo, but closer to extermes than the other. Has there ever really been a True mesomorph. I have seen plenty of pure ecto's and endo's, but I doubt I have ever met a pure meso. I also think Routh is older looking than welling. Welling easily looks like he could be Clarks age in the show now. I still can't believe he is 30
Da Man said on 10/Oct/07
Do you think Welling would be marginally shorter than Routh or something like 1" - 1.5" shorter, Viper?
I could see Welling being .25" - .5" shorter, but it wouldn't surprise me if they are the same height either. Either way, I think Welling could probably break Routh in half.

Viper said on 8/Oct/07
Id bet the house that Tom Welling is shorter than him.
paulg said on 7/Oct/07
i think it's closer to 6'2, i mean editor rob's head reaches the bottom of routh's nose, so a 2 inch nose and 4 inch forehead give you 6ft2...assuming footware was the same.
what was routh wearing ?
dmeyer said on 3/Oct/07
i agree could be 190 cm
Cairo86 said on 3/Oct/07
He doesn't look as big in width as he did in the movie. 6ft 2.25-2.5 is what his height appears to be.

I read 6'3 215lbs at the time of superman returns, though I'd really like to hear the part where they said he was 6'2.5 in superman returns. Where was that. And Rob, I agree, I wish you could get one with welling, though it would end a lot of debate, I'd really like to see it
Danimal said on 2/Oct/07
Minimum 6'3" and probably MAX 210-220 pounds.
Da Man said on 2/Oct/07
Patrick, I bet he's lost about 20 lbs. of muscle since filming Superman Returns.
Click Here
patrick said on 2/Oct/07
He looks minimum 6'2.5 and could easily be 6'3; bout his "muscles", even though he is not as bulky as he appears in SR, don't forget he wore a "special" suit in the movie and was working out daily. Chris Reeve was not the same out of his Superman films! Besides, look attentively at his arms: they are sinewy and that kind of Tshirt, furthermore very dark, hides all relief. He's indeed, not as he was but I cannot find him "skinny" for all that! Sure Tom is "thicker" than him but who could doubt that even before this pic?
ray said on 2/Oct/07
Guys dont see the shoulder, but the head point. Nothing wrong in saying 6.3 inches for routh. Rob Thanks a Ton, Hope u get one with Josh duhammel too.
ER. said on 2/Oct/07
To be totally honest he doesn't look THAT much bigger than me in that picture. I weight 165 - 170 lbs. - and me and him are the same height. I'd say he's MAX 190 lbs like Alex commented - and nothing more. 250 pounds is absurd.
Bad Radio said on 2/Oct/07
he's 6'2.5 ..they even mentioned this in the superman DVD. He had to wear special boots in the movie to reach that 6'4 mark, cus Christopher Reeves was 6'4.
steph said on 1/Oct/07
really? on magazines they boasted that he was 6 4. but then again, never trust those gossip magazines haha.
OutBenchThis said on 1/Oct/07
189cm appears correct..could be 188cm but you could argue 189cm aswell. Finally put it up Rob! Well done mate! :p
I'd say that makes Rock no less than 189cm but I'd be having trouble buying into any bigger than 190cm for Dwayne.

Editor Rob
maybe some thought that pic was never going up ;) Just glad routh was willing to do such an event. I only wish Welling would do one after smallville ends. I know an organiser tried to get him but he isn't considering it. I'd expect Tom to look very similar in height...
AAAA said on 1/Oct/07
On a side not, I really thought he would have a bigger frame, even if he did lose a lot of the muscle he gained. I also thought his shoulders were wider. And that is a strange haircut
6'3.5'' JK said on 1/Oct/07
He looks pretty tall there, Rob he has more inches on you than the Phelps twins and they're listed at 6'3'' on this site?!?
derek said on 1/Oct/07
he looks an easy 6'3 i mean look at the shoulder difference
supes78 said on 1/Oct/07
Routh looks skinny in that photo proving once again the man was nowhere near 250lbs as was reported during the time of SR. Next to Rob, Routh looks 6'3" max, but 6'2.5" seems spot on. Don't forget that Routh has more of a 'fro than Rob's clean cut hairstyle.
RobertJ said on 1/Oct/07
YES!!! It's finally here! He doesn't look less than 6'2'' so 6'2.5'' is spot on, if not slightly more.
Alex said on 1/Oct/07
I am just reading the 250lbs estimates for him, LOL.
Looks anywhere from 190-200lbs. I'm 190lbs or so and I look bigger than him and I'm 2 inches shorter than him.
Da Man said on 1/Oct/07
Yet another agreement, 6'2.5" almost on the dot assuming comparable footwear. Was your footwear comparable Rob?
Looks like he's lost a lot of mass since SR.
Editor Rob
yes, I'm not going to argue he's really as big as he looks, luckily it's as close to an ideal photo I probably could have got. He had a brown shoe, I had trainers, not much difference. Many folk commented on how tall he looked at that event. I don't know what they were expecting, a 5ft 11 superman :)

Ed said on 1/Oct/07
Barefoot 6ft2.5, maybe even 6ft3 is a perfect estimate for Routh! There's definitely a good 6 plus inch difference between Rob and Routh. Now when adding his big heeled Superman costume boots, you can see why he looked 6ft4ish in SR.
5'3" Aix said on 1/Oct/07

Anonymous said on 6/Aug/07
this site just goes OTT sometimes, half the people on here that are downgraded 1cm from their claim (i.e. listed here as 174 even when they say 5'9/175) I would bet my ass actually are that 1cm more
seriously, who actually walks with the perfect posture that you have when someone measures you?! I hardly believe it's even possible to tell if someone upped their height by 1cm unless they are stood right next to someone who is that 1cm more so you can see the difference. and that's IN PERSON I think it's pretty hard to tell 1cm, so debating about whether someone is 6'2.2 or 6'2 3/8 from TV and films just blows my mind
I mean I don't even believe you could tell in person if someone truly is 174 and not 175, shoes can make that difference!! and hair!! (I mean seeing where the top of their head exactly stops, not height from hair). I'm 175 myself but a couple years ago at college (I'm 19 now, it's POSSIBLE I may have grown a CM or 2 in the last couple years but I really, really doubt it, I don't think I've grown since like 15 or something, but I can't say by measurements cause I first measured at like 18 and a half or something, I'm just going on the comparison to my dad who is basically same height as me) some guy told me I wasn't 5'9 but "about 5'8", and it's like... I have bad posture for a start I know that, and I've always worn Converse!! pretty much the flatest (decent) shoe you can get, so I probably have never "looked" a full 5'9, but I know for a fact I wasn't "about 5'8" at the time, if you get where I'm coming from... I mean fair enough you do get people that just take the piss with it like that guy from the 70's show, Will something, who claim's over 5'9 and from a pic on this site looks closer (I'm not gonna say he is 5'7 for a fact or antyhing cause I'm bad at judging heights etc anyway, well, specific heights) to 5'7!
this isn't meant to be directly aimed at anyone and I'm not trying to offend anyone but seriously...
Blackmax said on 25/Jul/07
You guys are taking this acurracy thing too far, come on 6ft 2 3/8 is 6ft 2 1/2. How do you know anyway, until you see him actually measured. Your talking about 0.5 cm. I say He's 189cm same height as myself.

Anyway, this guy has "the touch", something I couldn't qualify but meaning "magic"; I think as Tom Welling, the other current Superman, he doesn't care of how tall he is and accepts himself as God made him, nothing more; I feel him being bet 6'2.5 and, why not, 6'3; I really thought The Rock was 6'3 MIN. So, no more than with Smallville, we cannot use SUP. returns as a way to evaluate his height; In his caes, for sure, they did anything to make him look at least as tall as Chris Reeve, deal! I am quite sure, Chris was nevertheless taller than him but i can mistake!
