Rob, any chance of giving him 186cm peak?
Today can seem not much over 6ft though

6ft1¼ peak I think is a safe bet with a chance of 6ft1½, 6ft2 is a round-up. Looked 186-187cm range in his 90's movies. Looked similar to Cosmo in Braveheart and also....edged Bill Pullman (sturdy 6ft1er himself who many argue was a bit over the mark!) in Lake Placid. He's definitely looking more 6ft range today though

i dont know if its just the posture ( his posture deoesnt seem that bad really) but he is not mutch taller than colin farrell these day. IF you look at photos of them together from the new movie its not over 2 inches in many photos less than that. It can really look like a 178 guy beside a 182-183 guy. I think he can be down to flat 6 foot soon. 184 is the most he can be. Also he is not that old so over 6´1 peak seems hard to believe. he could have been 186 of course but the average guess of 187 cant be. I see in my comment half year back that i say 186 peak 184,5 now, it could be right but maybe 6´1 peak and almost 184 now is closer.

He was virtually eye-to-eye with Luke Evans in 'The Raven'. They were seriously very close.
6ft - 6ft 0.5 is possible today. Solid 6ft 1 or so peak.

Yeah he was listed at 188 at first then 187 and now 185. I think like this 188 is impossible ( could pull it fo in some movies but not in reality. 187 is possible but i would never bet on it. 186 could be his real peak height. 185 also possible but not a mm under it. Today still strong 184 i would say 184,5 ish. I know he stod beside listed 189 cm michael persbrandth ( swedish actor) Michael could be 189 but sometimes i feel 188 cm is closer. there where maybe 2,5 cm beetween them and glesson had 1 cm more in his shoes. So the real difference was atleast 3,5 cm. Lets say michael is 188,5 that makes gleeson 185 and i think that was maybe 5-7 years ago?. The listed height is fine but if i would bet on it i would say he may have been 1/8 or 1/4 over this 30 years ago. Weak 186 guy. Average huess is to high. That would make Michale persbrandt almost 191 cm.

Tall Sam, I'm pretty sure he was 6ft2 at the beginning
Peak - very strong 6ft1 up to 6ft1½
Today - may still measure near 6ft1

In braveheart brendans height always looked the same as mel gibson who is 5'8" becouse mel had to look big. But when i saw brendan standing himself in braveheart i knew he was about 6'0" he was a big guy and i thought i wouldnt want a scrap with him lol he was well built. Thats why a dont get people that say 6'0" isnt tall or big. Of course its tall. I am 5'11" and cant see over my back fence and thats 6'0" and my neibour who is 6'0" and 6'1" with his shoes on cant see over the 6ft fence. And i am 6ft with my shoes on and cant see over my 6'0" fence. From 5'10" to 6'0" is tall enough especialy if you work out.

Brendan Gleeson “looks taller” on screen than he actually is — particularly in ‘Gangs Of New York’. I would have guessed that he was a minimum 6’2”, but evidentially, he’s under 6’1”. I liked watching him feed the tortoise in ‘Mr. Mercedes’.

@ Gracian, Vexacus,
He is shorter than his Son Domhnall Gleeson who claims 6'1. Calm yourselves down. Not only did the man claim 6'1, but is shorter than his son who claims 6'1. Just b/c you two like an actor, doesn't mean you should ignore these facts mentioned.

I think 6ft1 flat peak is selling him short. He edged out Bill Pullman in Lake Placid (who also looked over 6ft1 himself 20-30 years ago). Maybe he wasn't quite 6ft2, although he looked near it a lot...

He looks about a half inch shorter in Braveheart than his "father" James Cosmo who is listed in that site to be 6'1.And that was 20 years ago,he might dropped a little.So 6'1.5 in his very peak and about 6'0.5 now.

Domhnall has a shoe advantage...I think Brendan could be heading for 6ft1 flat now at 61. But 6ft2 peak is still a strong possibility.

The ppl here always debating single cms make me laugh so much. No1 can seriously tell the difference between a 188 person and a 187 person. To even slightly notice a difference its going to have to be a whole inch and if you are noticing anything smaller you have issues and are looking far to much in to it lol

Why, Johan, why? The heights listed on celebheights are, for the most part, late afternoon and evening heights. EVERYONE is .75"+ taller in the morning than they are in the afternoon. So Gleeson's morning height is, by all likelihood IMO, ~6'2.5".
So you have any reason for downgrading Gleeson by nearly a full inch?

Awesome actor--he was terrific in DARK BLUE and IN BRUGES. 6'1 1/2" for certain, but I think 6'2" is more accurate for him. Watched DARK BLUE a few nights ago, and standing next to 5'11" Ving Rhames in an elevator, he had 3" easily over Rhames. I was surprised at just how big and imposing Gleeson is--he made Ving Rhames look tiny, and Rhames is a pretty imposing man himself.

Well Bill Pullman is 6ft1.5 according to this site so 6ft2 is fine for Gleeson.

It's funny what people can do with camera angles in movies. He looked huge in Braveheart and towered over Mel Gibson (although that's not a very hard thing to do). Back then I thought he was like 6'5 or so. Yet in the movie Lake Placid he barely looked taller than Bill Pullman.
Nonetheless he's still a big guy.

I have seen Gleeson in the flesh and he is nowhere near 6'2". From what I saw he was struggling with 6'. Look at In Bruges and Farrell is not 3 or 4 inches shorter. There's about an inch or maybe 2 separating them.

I was satisfied until you downgraded him by half an inch.

Watch Tailor of Pananma, Gleeson has about an inch on Rush. Rush is 5'11". 6' is plenty for Gleeson.

Oh come on Brendan's at least 6ft2 if not more. 6ft1.5 is way off for him. It's his
broad frame whch makes him appear shorter.

He really looks more like 6ft1, maye a tad more! I just watched the new behind the scenes doc. on the Braveheart Special Edition DVD, and Gleeson looks to have 4 inches tops on Mel(5ft9.25).

In Gangs of New York, Neeson was 3 inches taller than John C Reilly and Reilly was an inch taller than Gleeson. Neeson, these days is 6'3.5". That puts Reilly at 6'0.5" and Gleeson at 5'11.5"....which is what I saw when I was walking behind him in Dublin. No way is he 6'2".

He looked slightly shorter than Eric Bana in Troy and a couple of inches shorter than Liam Neeson in Gangs of New York (and made Cillian Murphy look like a shrimp), so 6'2" is probably pretty accurate.
