Oliver Stone is much taller than 5'11"; he's at least 6'1". Therefore not quite good evidence to downsize Colin. Colin is small-boned and flexible. He slouches a lot so his hieght varies. Maybe he's not quite 5'10", but for now, until further eveidence, I'd grant him 5' 9.5".
Editor Rob
well, the fella in the photo (5ft 10 and 5ft 7) got back saying it was taken in glasgow last september, but he is from dublin...
it's certainly focussing slightly beyond the 2 closer guys...
Frank2 said on 4/May/06
I'm pretty sure the photo's a fake. Somewhere going through photos of Colin I saw the exact, same pose.
Editor Rob
hence why 2 of my eyebrows were raised
Glenn said on 4/May/06
Oh,yeah,I could be wrong about Willis too.not this.in the barefoot photo with foxx,he looks close to 5-10 to me if was streched out.
Glenn said on 4/May/06
I might be wrong about SLY,but Im not wrong about this.I give him no less than 5-9.75.never met Foxx.claims 5-10.looks 5-9,5-9.5.
Editor Rob
ok, here's that thing I mentioned:
Colin and 2 guysMy eyebrow is raised at this, 5ft 10 and 5ft 7 guy with Colin, but the person said colin visited 'glasgow, ireland'...which made me raise 2 eyebrows if you get the idea. So make of that pic what you will...
maybe whoever sent it to me can comment if they read this page...I'm not including it up top until I know its legit
Viper652 said on 3/May/06
Funny, Ive always though Foxx was only 5-8 as well. A short guy. I can see Colin and Jamie being the same height. They just come across as short dudes.
MD said on 3/May/06
He seems to be the exact same height as Jamie Foxx, whose own height seems to be a huge bone of contension, here.
Here is a rare pic of him barefoot, next to Foxx. Not the best of picture, but you can tell they are almost near similar height when you take into the fact that Jamie has on shoes and Farrell doesn't:
1.
Click HereFrank seems to be very good at guesstimating heights, which is why I'm starting to believe that everyone who's saying Jamie Foxx is close to 5'10" may very well be wrong.
Also, here he is with 5'9" Jared Leto. He looks ever-so-slightly taller than Jared, but definitely not a full inch. I say he's more around 5'9.25"
2.
Click HereBut here, even taking into account his slouch, he looks probably just as tall.
3.
Click Here Something even more perculiar, Jolie's and Farrell's wax figures. They must all be built to different heights than who they portray because these would put Colin at 5'7" lol
4.
Click Here5.
Click Here5'9" seems more appropriate. Even the pics with Glenn, IMO, only shoe an inch difference (inch-and-a-half at the very most).
Glenn said on 2/May/06
AGAIN he was wearing flat shoes.geez.
Frank2 said on 2/May/06
Maybe stiletto pumps! The last time I saw Tony Curtis I noticed his shoes could have been purchased in the women's section.
Again, I've seen Farrell and he's a small guy. I doubt he weighs any more than 145 lbs. Being close to 200 lbs. myself, I felt like I was Orson Welles next to him! Time to diet.
richinkle said on 2/May/06
I hate to say it but.......I agree with Frank on this one. He looks 5'-8 1/2" to 5'-9". He must be wearing a higher heel in those photos with Glenn.
Frank2 said on 2/May/06
My wife is 6'1".
Glenn said on 1/May/06
Still,Frank,what do you think of my pics with him? OK now.I figured it out.YOU (as your wife said),are 6ft,and so is Willis.Colin is 5-10.
Frank2 said on 1/May/06
Colin is short. If he's 5'11" then I'm 6'2"!
Glenn said on 1/May/06
Thank you Leung.and I truly think he is 5-11.
Leung said on 30/Apr/06
Yet another actor that people want to make small. In comparison to 6’ plus people Mr Farrell is short, but the guy is still 5’10”. The people here saying that Colin Farrell is 5’8” are probably the same people imagining Stallone as 5’7” and Schwarzenegger as 5’10”. Is this campaign to make Colin short a result of some individuals that are jealous that women are sexually compelled by Colin Farrell?
Glenn said on 30/Apr/06
the first photo is the real deal.Im standing pin straight,he is Slouching alot,with long body and legs,as Mhouilllon noticed.he is 5-11.
cantstop25 said on 19/Apr/06
in this clip he reall does not look that much shorter then conan

Josh said on 14/Apr/06
Its weird in the first pic he looks a solid 5-10 and in the 2nd he looks 5-8 to 5-9 max so confusing.
dmeyer said on 5/Apr/06
when i met him he looked 5'9.5" to 5'10 his shoes were 1 incj hell BUT they were LOW heeld boot
MHouillon said on 31/Mar/06
He's a 176cm-177cm.
During SWAT used big lifts, raising his beltline that high, his legs appeared very long for a male.
Glenn said on 11/Mar/06
strange thing is he still looked 5-11.
DudeX said on 11/Mar/06
Hey...... on the new photo you can tell he's max 5'9...
dmeyer said on 28/Feb/06
since he isnt bigger than briget moynahan in the recrut i dont think he is taller than 5'10 also he is smaller than willis hey rob do you think he can be over 5'10 if he was 5'11 he would be as tall as willis or kilmer with boot on since he is smaller even with the boots do the math
Editor Rob
if he's 5ft 11, with those cowboy boots, which you've probably seen the heel on them, he should look a 6ft guy...I'm not sure he does...
I think glenn seen him near 5ft 11, you seen him 5ft 10, the Vice guy seen him strong 5ft 10...maybe he 'photographs short'?
Height Detective said on 27/Feb/06
I think the movie Alexander is a good point of comparision ,because he was unable to use cowboy boots was forced to use that sandal-roman shoes , with almost no heel , compare him with Val kilmer in that movie and you can see the height differencem, from that , you can know if he is wearing big heels or lifts in premieres comparin the height difference of Alexander with the premiere , if you can use the height of Kilmer as refference , you can compare Colin with other celebs based on the comparision with Val , so you can tell if he is wearing boots or lifts or simply normal shoes.

Whats up with that?
cowboy style boots is what, with Big Heels. I noticed in shop, cowboy boots with what looked like near three inch heels.
Doll said on 26/Feb/06
He used to come into the pub I worked at in LA. Without his talls boots on I'd be willing to bet he's 5'9" or shorter. He was much shorter than I expected.

no way glenn, did u c him in scrubs, with the "heels" he wore, he was shorter than every actor on the show.(given that they have a pretty tall cast),174-176 tops
dmeyer said on 25/Feb/06
i dont think he is as tall as 5'11 since i am 5'11.5 or 75" and there was atleast 4 to 5 cm diferance but he might look it with shoes
rwfender said on 25/Feb/06
what kind of shoes was he wearing? was he wearing cowboy boots by any chance?
Glenn said on 24/Feb/06
just bumped into him again right this minute! looking 5-11 again.photo coming.
MiamiVice said on 23/Feb/06
No no no, trust me he is atleaste 5'10"! I worked with him 5 days on the set of Miami Vice at Club Mansion on South Beach and I spoke to him a bunch of times. He is just a rare celebrity who doesnt lie about his height, so naturally you want to downgrade him ie:(Brad Pitt, Justin Timberlake) If he said he was 6'0 you would say no way he is 5'10, which he is. I am a medical 5'9" and he was atleast an inch taller then me and Jamie Foxx and we were all in similiar shoes. If u ever saw the TRL where colin was interview by Damien he was at most 1.5" shorter then him.
rW said on 19/Feb/06
Look at this link. http://www.cinemaemcena.com.br/cinemacena/Geral/news/minorityreport21.jpg
Looks like a 2" difference...puts Colin at 5'9".
Agreed, you can't conclude based on the above pic as you don't see the foot wear. But, I am sure both have their lift on. The question whose is bigger?
TNTinCA said on 16/Feb/06
Yah, it is hard to guesstimate from that photo of him and Sam L Jackson.
But honestly, the most telling pic is the one of Glenn and Colin. Glenn is standing tall and Colin is leaning in. Honestly looks like it would be close to 2 inches if he was standing straight up. He may be a little under 5'10" but I think he is closer to 5'10" than he is to 5'9". Then again, could be funky footwear at work again. ;-)
DudeX said on 15/Feb/06
TNTinCA, dont forget Colin is on the higher ground.
Stiffelio said on 15/Feb/06
That's like a 3 inch height difference between Clooney and Farrell in that picture. At least! Of course that doesn't tell us much, does it? You never know what these guys are wearing on their feet.
Mr. R said on 15/Feb/06
TNTinCA, the problem with that Samuel L. Jackson pic is Sam is not standing tall, and we don't know what is in Colin's boots! Colin is a sturdy 5-9.

after watching pics of farrell beside willis i might be a hair over 5'10

since colin like to wear heels maybe in standard shoes might small lifts i dont think he is over 5'10 he looked 2 inches shorter than me maybe 1.5" but the diferance was more then 1 inch since i am about 182 but he can esealy look 5'11 with lifts
MiamiVice said on 13/Feb/06
Trust me, I worked on the set for 5 days and i saw Colin everday. He is positively atleaste a legitimate 5'10 and like i said i would put him closer to 5'11 and we both were wearing similiar shoes.

in pics he is very comfusing he can look from 5'8 to 6'0

no way that is exagerating of course there is at least 2 or 3 inch in his heels
he is no taller than 174 cm

i met colin in a bar hed a broken leg so maybe since he had a big thing around his feet but on his other feet he had 1 inch hell he looked around 177 178 cm and jamie looked around the same height when i met him on the set of collateral they are both around 5'10 colin might be a full 5'10
Editor Rob
this is dmeyer speaking?
MiamiVice said on 9/Feb/06
I worked with Colin Farrell on the set of Miami Vice in The Mansion club scene. I stood right next to him and talked to him for a bit. He is def. 5'10, i would even put him in the 5'11 range. We were both wearing similiar shoes and I am a medical 5'9" and he was visibly taller then me. He is also taller then Jamie Foxx who gets listed at 5'10.5.
Editor Rob
maybe Farrell can come across shorter just due to his laid back approach...he can look from 177-180cm...maybe 178 is closer
brazilian guy said on 9/Feb/06
does not look 5'11" even 177, in my opinion he is 173-174 tops,
gleen was him using lifts?

I have seen pictures of the madam tussaud's figures from alexander and with sandles, he's the same height as angelina jolie.

i saw colin's wax figure at the madam tussaud's in london. again, not sure how accurate these figures are, but by using me and my friend as comparisions, colin's figure looks exactly 5'10". It had long legs too. Just giving my 2-cents.
snap said on 20/Jan/06
looks about 5'10.5"
Glenn said on 14/Jan/06
no,I was shocked he really was 5-11.no boots.flat soles.unless lifts? his legs were long to.

You be almost sure he has some kind of boots on in that photo, but I'd give him 5'8.5"
dmeyer said on 13/Jan/06
i think colin is close to 5'10
dmeyer said on 5/Jan/06
hey rob i said colin looked 177 cm he had boots with only 1" heels
Gotxo said on 5/Jan/06
I understand your ideas guys, but i must say that to compare him to T. Cruise in Minority Report is not the best one. In War of the Worlds Tom looks the same or very close height to Justin Chatwin who's 5'10"-5'11" (his son in the film), I think that he forces the directors to put the camera in a way he never looks smaller than any 5'10"/avg guy. I think he could be 177cm, but what said above doesn't deny a posible 174cm only the Farrell-Hanks comparison.
brazilian guy said on 4/Jan/06
no way
he looks very short, he is almost tom cruise´s size in minority report, maybe 1 inch higher
i give him 5'8''0.5 tops, he looks to me 1,74 tops nothing more, it´s obvious he dosen´t have the 1,77 looks

itziar said on 4/Sep/05
to the guy that says colin is short because he is irish and "hispanic-looking": it might have been true many years ago that both irish and spanish people were shorter than other europeans due to poverty, but nowadays no one starves in Europe, so your comment makes absolutely no sense. And referring to the hispanic look of Colin you should definitely buy an European History book; Colin looks celtic, irish people are celtic-saxons. The celtics emigrated to Spain before the Roman empire, so spaniards are celtic-iberians. That's why sometimes irish and spanish look alike. There's no "smaller iberian race that went to ireland during the dark ages". I hope all this helps to improve your tiny culture.
P.S.: i'm a 5'11'' spanish woman, and mya huspand is a 6' irish.
karl said on 10/Aug/05
actually id say five foot nine at most, and to the guy who said that irish men have a shorter average in europe what era is he taking that from im dutch and living in ireland and most guys are around six foot which give them a taller average than most europeans here so u cant really be sure how tall a man is by conjecture alone
Crimsonite said on 3/Aug/05
They usually use camera tricks to make short actors appear taller on the big screen to give them a better "image". Colin is a tiny guy, and he is 5'7 because I saw him at some club with my colleagues. I'm 5'85 myself, but he appeared to be a bit shorter than me.
Josh said on 31/Jul/05
I agree with rob he is just 5'9 he could look 5'9.5 but with shoes on barefoot he must be no taller than 5'9 (175) i think the editur should down grade this guy .
McFan said on 18/Jul/05
He only looks 5'9 in "Minority Report."
Sean said on 1/Jul/05
Yes, if you read below, I was the first post about Tussaud's: He looks at or below Jolie's height in sandals. If you also search gettyimages.com, colin farrell, next to Jamie Foxx, looks remarkable close in height to Tom Cruise next to Jamie Foxx during "Collateral" days.
Kenshin said on 25/Jun/05
in swat he looked a few inches shorter than samuel l. jackson so he has to be wound 5'10.
Stiffelio said on 18/Jun/05
If Oliver Stone is 6ft as just posted then Colin Farrell is 5ft9'max. Check the following link.
http://editorial.gettyimages.com/source/search/FrameSet.aspx?s=ImagesSearchState%7c0%7c0%7c28%7c0%7c0%7c0%7c1%7c%7c%7c0%7c0%7c0%7c0%7c0%7c0%7c0%7c0%7c3%7cOliver+Stone+AND+Colin+Farrell%7c0%7c0%7c0%7c0%7c0&p=3&tag=1
Depending on the picture angle and posture Farrell looks a good 2.5 to 4 inches shorter than Stone, even in high-heeled cowboy boots. But then if Stone is not even 6ft....Colin's height keeps shortening.
servel said on 4/Jun/05
Its pretty accurate if you tell me, im 5.10 1/2 1.79 exactly, my legs are longer than most 5.11-6.00ft males, so I went to the doctor simply because i was worried, he said that it was completely normal, since i would still be growing at least two more years, i was 5.9 1/2, 1.76-1.77 (on a good day LOL) a month ago and now i grew about inch, yet my torso is the one growing not my legs. Im 18 years old, most males stop growing at that age, but my growing process it has always been slow. I would say its pretty accurate... It may vary in some people but the difference is not huge, proportion is a big thing in the human body.
Mr. Awesome said on 24/May/05
It is not always accurate to use torso/leg legnth to judge a person's height. I'm just under 5'8'' ( somewhere between 5'7.5 and 5'7.75) and I wear the same legnth pants as my father who is nearly 5'10''. I simply have longer legs and a shorter torso, but that doesn't make me any shorter. In all the films that I've seen him in, Colin looks a solid 5'9'' and change. He's taller than Oliver Martinez in SWAT. He is certainly not 5'7'' or 5'8'' if martinez is at least that height. In pictures beside other people with proven heights, he stands far too tall next to them to be as short as some are making him out to be. He probably just has longer legs than most people of his size, as I do.
Anonymous said on 8/May/05
http://editorial.gettyimages.com/source/search/details_pop.aspx?iid=51923709&cdi=0
I think he is wearing 6 inch elevator shoes(shoes that are made like heals but you can not tell all the time because of how good they are made) I'd say he is really 5 ft 7.5 inches. I can't see him being 5ft 9.5 because his build is just too weird to come to the average height for a male.
JoeGun said on 6/Apr/05
After watching SWAT, I would say that he is 5'8" at the most. He is probably wearing a set of custom insoles to make him look taller. After looking at his body type, he would have to be either short or perhaps in need of a longer torso.
Mr. R said on 23/Mar/05
As I have shared with our editor, I have seen Kiefer in Hollywood, and I stand by my observation that he is 5'8". But what I didn't mention is that he was wearing a thick pair of black diesel boots, which probably gave him an extra little boost!
Lmeister said on 19/Mar/05
8-ball pay attention to his shoes they are boots with huge heels...that is the trick and the camera angle favours him+floor etc...Just take a look at other pics and U will see that Colin is not even close to the same height as Val Kilmer...
8-ball said on 18/Mar/05
Well, I'm as confused as Farrell and Kilmer look in this photo. They are the same height? Whatever that is.

I saw Colin after the Oscars a few years ago. I couldn't get close to him, but he was the shortest person going through the metal detector. I have always said about 5'9".
Lmeister said on 11/Mar/05
As I recall Colin Farrell was and still is listed 5 ft 9 in some European websites http://www.tiscali.co.uk/entertainment/film/biographies/colin_farrell_biog.html He "grew" at least one extra inch after he became a leading man in the US. I think Colin is around 5-8 which would make him average size irish lad.
Ricardo said on 11/Mar/05
Just watched Minority Report and this guy could never be around 5'10" he was about the same height as Tom Cruise, now that i've seen this movie again i feel Sean is right, Colin is a max 5'8" but i feel he is more around 5'7" how he got people to list him as 5'11" is a big mystery to me, because in every movie i see him he looks short,especially in S.W.A.T. Not even his stupid hairstyle saves him. I wouldn't be surprised if he was like 5'6" the guy just does not look tall, and i'm sure he was wearing elevators in S.W.A.T. so what does that say??? Mr Celeb heights editor u need to investigate on Colin a bit more, i think you'll find that he doesn't reach that mark, like most actors don't.
Sean said on 1/Mar/05
Compare Colin's wax figure with Angelina Jolie's, at getty images. There's a shot of the two figures next to each other, with Jolie's figure clearly wearing sandals, Colin's Alexander wearing the a war boot. (This is important because in every other picture, Colin is wearing funky boots with huge heels)
Colin's figure is slightly shorter than Jolie's. I do believe wax figures are meticulously made, so I would imagine they're fairly accurate. Since this is the only shot with both Jolie and Colin without any deceptive footwear, I would imagine Colin Farrell to be very close to Jolie's height, when both are barefoot. That would make him around 5'7"
Broadwayactor said on 1/Mar/05
Colin is 5'8". Tops. I was out in front of the Warner Brothers building in NYC and he was there having a smoke and checking out EVERY woman's ass that went by. I towered over him and I'm six feet even. He's 5'8"...tops.

My dear Colin I think you are max 175 cm why? Look at www.gettyimages.com at page number 13 of 37 where Colin appears at least 2 inch shorter than George Clooney!
