Chris O'Dowd's Height
6ft 3 ½ (191.8 cm)
Irish Actor best known for appearing on tv show The IT Crowd and films like The Boat that Rocked and Bridesmaids. In The Times Newspaper in 2009 Chris said "I'm 6ft 4in, I'm a big guy. So many times during filming I banged my f***ing head"
I was 6ft tall by the time I was 11. I was a looming, towering figure of ridicule, a high Labrador.

Tall guy for sure, wasn't sure how tall exactly but 191-192 at least, not shorter. Underrated actor, too.

Solid 6'3.5 in the morning. Got 2 inches on 6'1.5 Ayoade and still looked down on 5'9.25 Noel Fielding in his cuban heels.

He looked very tall in Miss Peregrino, around 1,93-94. I am surprised he is listed this height here. He was clearly taller than the boy Who plays his son in Miss Peregrine, Who was as tall as Samuel L. Jackson or at least close historia height

Ayoade said he was 180cm really? not a chance he is just 5'11- More like 6'1.5- As for Chris O'Dowd think he is 191- 192cm range around 6'3.25- 6'3.5 he might measure

I met Richard Ayoade on London Underground, he confirmed that he is 180cm but he wouldn't stand up. He looked a sold 1801cm though. Very good looking.

Editor Rob it is possible both are very similar, Paul generally is a guy with more looser posture at times.

Cheers Rob.
Also, is it just me or is Michael Mcintyre packing lifts there? He's looking 5'9-10ish when there is no way he is that tall in reality, always pegged him at about 5'7.5 tops

Editor Rob yeah 5ft 7.5 range is possible for him, at times he can look anywhere from a 5ft 7 to 8.

Rob, what's your estimate for Matt Berry and Richard Ayoade?
Click Here
Matt Berry is listed at 5'10" but he can look lower than that to me, Richard always looks about an inch or two shorter than O'Dowd so I think 6'2"s pretty fair for him.

Strong 6'3" guy. I was thinking more 191 but I could buy 192.

Disagree with Cole -- he was decidedly shorter than Jason Segel in "This is 40", who had about an inch on him. I'd downgrade him to 6ft2.5.

Thats really weird, i never thought he looked that tall on the IT crowd but thats because i was assuming Richard Ayoade was about 6ft so i thought Chris was about 6'1". Just goes to show you. Good old celebheights telling it like it is !

This is fair. He can look a good 12-13 cm taller than 179 cm James Franco when standing tall, and has about 4 cm on 187-188 cm Richard Ayoade. He also seemed pretty much the same height as Jason Segel in 'This is 40'.

Chris and Richard are both huge, I extra'd in an episode of The IT Crowd, I'm 1.78, and they easily towered half a foot over me, Chris being about an inch taller than Richard.

I think somewhere between 6`2 and 6`3 is more likely.

I reckon 6'4 is regarded as more than just averagely tall-I don't know anyone that height myself , though in upper class areas it's amazing how many young guys seem to be around the 6'2 mark. Then again in working class east London I was the tallest person at 181 cm -on a crowded bus. Seems a bit sick really how much difference upbringing can make. Then again about 60% of those people were south asain so...um I'll shut up now

Is 6`4 his shoe height? - seems a little large for him, his poture must be terrible.

the guy who plays the security guard character is Oliver Chris who also starred in the office. He's listed everywhere as being 6'3, but I think he maybe downgrading. Look at him in the office, he was a full head over ricky gervais perhaps more.

Always thought Chris was an average looking man until I once saw him at an awards show standing next to Jen from the IT Crowd. He absolutely towered her

Medical statistics show that British people aren't much taller than they were 30 years ago anyway.There may be more taller people around but there are still plenty of shorter people to bring the overall average down to about 5'9" and 3/4. Which is quite obviously a long way off 6'4".

Maybe it's just the younger generations, I see many people under 30 in the 6'4 range today.
For someone over 40 it would be quite unusual, Clint Eastwood always looked tall at that height. But in about 30 years I really don't think it'll be anything special.
