Eddie Hall's Height
6ft 1 ¾ (187.3 cm)
English Strongman, and 2017's World Strongest man. He has described himself as being a "6' 3". 30-1/2 stone / 420lbs" and on another occasion "I'm 6ft 3in and 28 stone. Ideally, someone my height needs to be 15 or 16 stone." In 2020 he described himself as a "Six-Foot Two and a Half guy". In 2020 he showed a video in which he got 190.1cm on a Stadiometer, although he pushed himself up to achieve it.
I’m 6ft 2.5in and [Hafthor's] 6ft 9in, but I think people are now gauging how seriously I’m taking this.

I think Eddie can actually look a full 6'2", but I would say more likely somewhere in 6'1.5-6'2 range if measured than over it. At least his claim is now more reasonable and he's not still trying to claim 6ft 3. Tommy Fury must work like a trooper in the gym, most guys, even most gym rats would look small next to Eddie but he doesn't! To put things in perspective on what a monster he is, Eddie could deadlift close to 200 kg (440 lbs) more than Arnie and John Cena could in their primes!!

Click Here Rob, check this out. Eddie now claims 6'2 (and an 80in reach). What do you think? I don't even think I see a 2 inch difference between Tommy and Eddie...Does Tommy need to be put back up to 5'11.5 and Eddie down to 6'1.25? Where would that put Jake Paul? Interesting stuff

Editor RobI think if measured properly he will clear 6ft 1, but a question of how big a fraction it is.

Doesn't look like he's standing very well during his measurement in the vid - like he's overarching a bit. Could he be losing a fraction?

He seems that way, though how much of the nice guy image is put on and is playing up for the cameras.... I haven't seen any of his videos since I saw the Wim Hof one a year ago, but I watched a lot of his videos a few years back.

Eddie is most certainly anything between 6'2-6'2.25 (188-188.5cm). He could probably make 6'3 flat with shoes. The fact he used to say he was 6'3.5 and sometimes even 6'4 is ridiculous.

@Njp fourc things: One, that was a shoe measurement. Two, Eric is 6 foot in shoes and was shorter than Eddie so he's looking up at tape which would make measurement look higher to him due to the angle. Three, it's not an accurate way to measure. And four, he tends to be slightly generous on height calls when doing these.

Even 6'0 is questionable for Cbum, I would say that's his absolute max, he looks 5'11 way too often
@Njp
Eric Kanevskys way of measuring straight up with a tape measure isn't very accurate, also if I remember correctly he measures their shoe heights anyways.

And one thing to consider about how much a shoe adds is the weight of the person wearing them. If someone 150 lbs wear for example Nike air max and they give 1,25 inch. Someone 300+ lbs wearing the same shoe model will "sink through the sole more and maybe only get 1 inch from them if even that. Running shoes and so on have soft sole designed som give a bit.

@arch he’s wearing air max, which will generally give 1.25 inches roughly
So assuming he’s at his low, which he probably isn’t since it’s still bright out and he’s sitting down but for argument sake let’s say he’s at his low
Subtract 1.25 inches from 6’2.5 and he’s In and around 6’1 1/4 which funny enough is the average guess

Eric Kanevsky measured Eddie in a video, though it's not the best angle (around 11:40):Click Here
Looks to me around 6'2.5-6'3 in shoes, thoughts? Also how much height you think those shoes give?
Also he measured Julius Maddox in the same video with a much better view of the tape measure at 4:50. He reads out 6'4 in shoes but looks not much over 6'1. Think he was being generous?
Editor Rob
Eddie shouldn't really be trying to claim anything over 6ft 2, if he said 6ft 1-2 barefoot he'd be believed!
To be fair Eddie was cool about it, he could have got upset like some of the others! Yeah he seems to be around 6'2.5 in sneakers, I think we were right all along on 187 cm barefoot. Still super heavy at 367 pounds even slimming down for the boxing. I'm a mere 195 pounds currently, he's almost twice my weight!

Eddie got measured on Eric Kanevsky’s YouTube Channel yesterday. He got, according to Kanevsky, 189 cm in shoes. Which means probably 1.86,5 or 1.87m without shoes. Go check it out, Rob. It got published 16 hours ago.

Unless Paddy really is a legit 6'5.5 it's difficult to see Big Gary as even close to 7 ft 2 Joe. I think he looks betweeen 7 and 8 inches taller than Paddy. If we called Paddy 6 ft 5 I can see a genuine strong 7 ft 0 range, but doesn't look 7'1-7'2 like the Dutch Giant to me but others may disagree. What I can see is a legit 7'0.5, measured at near 7'2 in sneakers in the morning and going with that claim.

Hall’s height can be tough to pin down.
@Rob I know this has already been posted but would be interesting to see your take. The man next to Hall is apparently 6’3 yet there looks be a 3-4 inch difference.
That is accurate. When Hall brushed past me at Euston I actually didn't quite believe it was him as he was significantly shorter than I would have expected. Six feet flat in socks is what I'd bet cash money on as I've witnessed it with my own eyes, it took me a while to recognise him, eventually I had to search for the tat on my phone and by hat time he'd scampered away.

Holy Cow Joe, he looks like giant young Gary Barlow!! Well I would have guessed Paddy as more of a 6 ft 4 range guy, though could look 3 inches taller than Eddie from what I saw in the past so close to 6 ft 5 nor impossible. If Giant Gary is a legit 6 ft 11 (which he looks IMO), I would say Paddy is certainly bullsh*tting with the 6 ft 5.5 claim that's definitely more than 6 inches, could be between 7 and 8 inches between them. Meaning Paddy doesn't look anything over 6 ft 4 with him..

I hadn't seen one of his Youtube channel videos since last year until recently, I came across Wim "the Ice Man" Hof being in a video with him and had to check it out. I estimated Hof at 5 ft 11 barefoot standing with Eddie in trainers. Hof is listed at 182cm but is now 63 years old. In comparison I would say Eddie at near 6 ft 2 barefoot checks out. Caught another glimpse of that Pat guy and there's no chance he's a legit 6'5.5!

When i saw eddie hall on the worlds strongest man i never thought he was 6'3" no way. I had him at 6'1" at a push. Becouse there was just so many really big men there.

When i saw eddie hall on the worlds strongest man i never thought he was 6'3" no way. I had him at 6'1" at a push. Becouse there was just so many really big men there.

He lifts more than his own body weight daily and he weighs as much as a silverback gorilla, why do you think an inch of height variation throughout the day is unrealistic...?

I only saw the Thor fight about 10 days ago, had completely forgotten about it. I knew it would be unnecessarily hyped anyway. Haven't watched Eddie pretty much since he was measured and I find Thor to be boring to watch, though seems like a good guy. Thor was definitely the better boxer and looks in good shape now he's lost over 100 pounds. To be fair, Eddie didn't look under 6'2 in the ring with Thor. Eddie would look much better if he got down to around 250. 18 stone is plenty for a 6'2 ish guy.

I would say an inch of height loss for Eddie. He’s not even as heavy as he used to be. Probably say 6’2.75” out of bed and this listing for afternoon height.

People also need to take into account of the fact that Eddie's an extremely heavy guy, so his height variance will be bigger than the average guy his height range. I wouldn't be surprised if he wakes up at 6'2.75"-6'3" and drops to 6'1.5"-6'1.75" evening. I can believe the 190.1cm as a morning height, though he clearly did the "bust a gut" method to measure as tall as possible.

I believe he is somewhere around 6'1.5, looks near 187 cm to me.
@Rob What is interesting, there is a strongwoman current champion who is listed as 6'3 and has even claimed as high as 6'4. That is good news for Hall though, because they didn't look much different from a photo between them, but Hall doesn't look like a guy above 187 cm really. What is you're guess on Rebecca Roberts, Rob?

Eddie with 6'3" (has also been billed at 6'2") Luke Stoltman (Scottish strongman). Luke is in flat converses and further away from the camera (giving Eddie the advantage), while Eddie is in sneakers with a larger heel and is closer to the camera. It's obvious that Eddie is at the very most 6'1.5" (his billed height in his early UK Strongman competitions) and possibly just a flat 6'1" barefoot (same height as Larry Wheels):

He's 1 of those typical Westerners who inked their body with Chinese character
Luckily for him, his tattoo does make sense... it says "strength"
As for his height, weak 6'2 seems better, his weight will bring him down 1-2cm."
Well...ONE of the characters does the one on the other pec is actually backwards so it's literally like if you printed "rewop" on one pec and "power" on the other. Those of us who can actually speak Chinese just cringe when we see most tattoos.
As for height, I wouldn't have him any lower than 6'1"ish but no higher than 6'2" so somewhere between that range is a solid good guess. There's a slight chance he might slightly break over 6'2" on a good day in the morning but I think his 6'2.5" claim is likely with shoes on as MOST men use shoes in their figure and the result is at least half an inch to an inch added on to their actual bare foot height.
Next to Brian Shaw he doesn't look THAT much smaller in a lot of shots. He really doesn't. Brian is 6'8" so he definitely is noticeably taller, but it's not like Eddie's up to his shoulder or anything as he would be if he were the 5'10" some seem to claim (which is absurd). Eddie usually looks to be about up to Brian's mouth to nose level which for most head sizes would put the height difference at around 6" (I'm close to 6'2" and a 5'10" guy would have the top of his head RIGHT about at my eye level, and someone who is maybe 5'8" would be about the height difference to me as Eddie is to Brian - and I have a big head - so with that being ABOUT a 6 inch difference between 5'8" and my height, I would say with Eddie often coming up to Brian's nostril level when on level ground, a 6" height difference is PRETTY spot on - so I'd say Eddie is somewhere AROUND 6'2" or slightly under at worst.
In my experience every time I meet a guy who is about 6" shorter than me, the top of his head is about at my nostril level. A 5'9" guy (5" difference, average height for a western man) VERY consistently comes up to about midway up the bridge of my nose, 5'10" guys VERY consistently have their top of the head right at my eye level and I'd say human head HEIGHTS don't vary as much as their BODY heights do (and I have a big head as I said - a tall head I should say) so APPROXIMATELY I would estimate a 6 inch height gap between them. 6'2" would seem reasonable, but so would 6'1.5" - eyeballing it it is VERY hard to tell the difference often between 6'2" and 6'1.5", especially depending on camera angle, distance, etc. There are some photos of me and my 6'5" cousin where I - maybe coming close to 6'2" in the MORNING - look barely any shorter than him despite there being at least a 3 inch height gap in reality, so a half inch between 6'1.5" and 6'2" is even harder to discern in photos. A slight posture difference, camera angle, shoes, hair, head tilt, the other guy SLIGHTLY slumping in posture, ANY of those can make a half inch almost impossible to tell.
So. 6'1.5" to 6'2" is my range to favor.

Around 186cm at my lowest and only 14 stone 5 lbs currently. I've lost a little bulk and body fat from earlier in the year when I got into 15st range. 33 waist currently, heavier than I was at that a few summers back. Doing intermittent fasting for a prolonged period really improves your body and how you feel and it becomes easier to maintain it when you get into a habit. I do think doing a large number of pushups and situps daily seems to rev up your metabolism, I've somehow blasted away the Christmas calories! I've been lifting dumbells for nearly 25 years BTW!

Yeah the amount he and the likes of Brian Shaw and Thor lift is insane, I could believe a cm height loss by early 40s. Brian bought a $13,000 dumbell set I think it was last year and I think the heaviest is 130kg which is just out of his world ridiculous for a single dumbell. I've seen Eddie lift 100kg dumbells. I don't think he could do it when he attempted it more recently though. You run the risk of tears and damage from lifting that. I'm happy with my 40 kg dumbells for lots of reps!

I still don't know what to make of that video. I have hard time believing 190cm barefoot except the moment he steps out of bed and it definitely does not look like he just rose in that clip!
Below 187cm I'd rule out as well though. I didn't have any issues with the 6ft2 listing to be honest because I think when he does stand at his tallest he looks close to it. Walking about can seem barely 6ft1 but his girth adds to that illusion. A lot of these strongmen/powerlifters tend to have hidden height.
I think Eddie at a weak 6ft2 and Martin Licis at a strong 6ft2 is on point....

Rob, do you think there is a chance Eddie Hall actually stood on his toes in that measurement-video. I mean, yes, there are many photos out there that indicates he could be in the 1.86-1.88 range, but still..the recent photo with Khabib make me doubt a little.. you shouldn't judge by 1 photo, but there is no angle or anything that could explain it ether. He doesn't look more than 1.82 tops in that photo. Not saying he is 1.82, but can a 1.90 guy (as he claims) ever look that short next to Khabib..? i'm thinking probably not

@Jason, perhaps not 1.5-inches but a bit over an inch or an inch shorter than Dolph. So basically, a bit over 6'1 with Dolph.

For a long time I believed that he is 187 cm but after seeing the latest photos posted on his social media pages, I must say there is no doubt that he is somewhere in the 185-186 cm range - and not a centimeter above.
Here is a recent picture with Khabib Nurmagomedov (listed 175 cm) - Click Here - notice how both have a loose posture but Eddie is closer to the camera and even so, he doesn't look more then 10 cm taller then Khabib, do the math but when both are standing straight Eddie is somewhere in the 185 cm range.
Also, here is a picture of him with Dolph Lundgren (listed 189 cm) at the Arnold Classic 2021 - Click Here - notice how Eddie is standing straight and relaxed Dolph is still visibly taller, I see at least 3-4 cm between them in this position - again, do the math but when both are standing straight, Dolph would put Eddie in the 185 cm range again.
More than that, at his stadiometer measurement Eddie was wobbling on his toes while busting a gut, that gave him at least 3 cm in height, so even the 187 cm guess is very suspicious (especially if the measurement was done in the morning).
To be honest - Click Here - he is the same height as larry Wheels (listed 185 cm).
All in all, there is no doubt that all of his claims are inflated lies just to boost his ego and from my point of view, it is a shame to brag about something you don't have.
There is a saying - "Facts are the enemy of truth !" - and from my point of view, Eddie Hall is max. 186 cm on a good day.

He compared well with Mark Henry. There is not much difference between him bench press record holder the 6'3 Julius Maddox. Julius is likely not 6'3 but he definently is over 6'1. As i said earlier, 6'1.5 or perhaps 6'1.75 is fine for him. He edges Larry Wheels who is close to 6'1 himself.

Could Eddie actually be around 6ft, possibly 6’1 morning height on a good day?

Arch it’s interesting that British strongman terry Holland said that since he’s cut down to 340 pounds at 6’6 that he he looks/feels much healthier and that losing weight has cured his sleep apnea.
Indeed his physique is impressive but do you think it’s possible to still be healthy at that weight range if your 6ft6? No doubt it’s all muscle but if still puts a strain on the body being 340 at 198cm.

Pat from what I remember generally looked about 3 inches shorter than Eddie, at times it can look more as Eddie's body groans under his enormous weight so he looks shorter than he really is! 6'1.5 and 6'4.5 I would have guessed, 6'2 and 6'5 is the most I can see, 6'5.5 for Pat is excessive, maybe in sneakers he is. Very tall regardless.

Eddie could have put on his trainers for the 190 measurement of course, though he was barefoot earlier in the video. I would be surprised if he measured taller than Andy Murray on a stadiometer. I haven't watched anything from Eddie in a few months. All of the strongmen get boring to watch after a while, even with a personality like Eddie and a nice guy like Brian. And you realise that it takes a certain type of guy to get into strong man and there's some negative traits associated with that. As in any sport or art if you want to be the best in the world you have to sacrifice an enormous amount so naturally means being selfish and self obsessed on some things.

Being a World's Strongest Man (WSM) fan, I can tell you that the first thing you notice when watching the competition is the size of the athletes, especially their height.
If I am not mistaking, Eddie's first important win was in 2010 (England's Strongest Man) and by that time he was 22 years old.
In his earlier years in WSM he was listed at 188 cm at every event and only after he went more popular and got more credit in the sport, his height suddenly went up to 190 cm (might be the marketing effect to make him look bigger or just height frauding, it's up to you to decide).
Although Eddie is a tall man, when compared to the other competitors, he never gave me the impression of a guy who measures 190 cm (the examples are numerous).
In a video of Eddie training together with Martin Licis, the camera man asked Licis about his height and he said that he is 6ft 2.5 - 6ft 3 in the morning and around 6ft 2 in the afternoon ; after that, Eddie said that he is around 6ft 2.5 in the morning as well but he rounds it up to 6ft 3... but that is kinda pushing it since Licis looks taller the Eddie everytime they stand next to each other, not by much, but still taller - even at the WSM starting lineup for presentation, all the athlets are positioned from tallest (which usually was Thor) to shortest, and Licis was always positioned as being taller then Eddie, even with 2-3 competitors between them most of the time.
However, Eddie might be close to 189 cm out of bed and since athletes are measured in the morning, I believe he rounded up to 190 cm for his large ego.
- comparing Eddie to Larry Wheels which I believe is close to 186 cm, I can notice that they are virtally the same height ;
- going against Martin Licis which is a legit 188 cm guy, Eddie looks around 1-2 cm shorter, that would put him in the 187 cm range ;
- and comparing to Big Z which is a legit 190 cm guy, Eddie looks around 3-4 cm shorter, that would put him in the 186-187 cm range one more time.
So, what I wanted to point out with all of the arguments presented above is the fact that Eddie is clearly not 190 cm as he claims and also not 188 cm - to be honest, I can see him at 187 cm and that being generous.

If I am not mistaking, Eddie's first important win was in 2010 (England's Strongest Man) and by that time he was 22 years old.
In his earlier years in WSM he was listed at 188 cm at every event and only after he went more popular and got more credit in the sport, his height suddenly went up to 190 cm (might be the marketing effect to make him look bigger or just height frauding, it's up to you to decide).
Although Eddie is a tall man, when compared to the other competitors, he never gave me the impression of a guy who measures 190 cm (the examples are numerous).
In a video of Eddie training together with Martin Licis, the camera man asked Licis about his height and he said that he is 6ft 2.5 - 6ft 3 in the morning and around 6ft 2 in the afternoon ; after that, Eddie said that he is around 6ft 2.5 in the morning as well but he rounds it up to 6ft 3... but that is kinda pushing it since Licis looks taller the Eddie everytime they stand next to each other, not by much, but still taller - even at the WSM starting lineup for presentation, all the athlets are positioned from tallest (which usually was Thor) to shortest, and Licis was always positioned as being taller then Eddie, even with 2-3 competitors between them most of the time.
However, Eddie might be close to 189 cm out of bed and since athletes are measured in the morning, I believe he rounded up to 190 cm for his large ego.
- comparing Eddie to Larry Wheels which I believe is close to 186 cm, I can notice that they are virtally the same height ;
- going against Martin Licis which is a legit 188 cm guy, Eddie looks around 1-2 cm shorter, that would put him in the 187 cm range ;
- and comparing to Big Z which is a legit 190 cm guy, Eddie looks around 3-4 cm shorter, that would put him in the 186-187 cm range one more time.
So, what I wanted to point out with all of the arguments presented above is the fact that Eddie is clearly not 190 cm as he claims and also not 188 cm - to be honest, I can see him at 187 cm and that being generous.

Eddie Hall isn't anywhere near 6"3. He's not even 6"1. He wears lifts in his shoes. I'd say he's nearer 6 foot flat.

Rob, I know Eddie has deadlifted 500 kg and squatted over 400 kg. I would think the extreme training that goes into working up to these amounts would equate to some height loss, wouldn’t you? It would be neat to get Eddie on the stadiometer directly before and after one of his immense deadlifts.

Guys like Eddie by the time they get to 40 likely will have lost a fraction.

Like Mark Henry I think Eddie is a guy that can stretch himself up to 6ft2. If he leaned out more, he'd definitely look taller...most powerlifters have hidden height that we don't see often.
He's clearly more than an inch taller than Paddy McGuinness and about 4in or so below Martyn Ford

Rob, maybe he has been measured close to 6ft2½ earlier in the day and claims that?

Maybe he is 6'5 in the morning, but I would be surprised if he really weighed 19 and a half stone, to me he looks 17 and a half to 18 stone range. He looks very badly affected from Eddie's training poor guy, somebody like Eddie could kill a man in the boxing ring, Thor is risking his life, no kidding.

Extremely optimistic considering he's the same height as Wheels in every angle, be it through Wheel's or Eddy's own camera man. Same goes when he was with Sheamus and the Stoltman brothers. Not enough evidence for him to be 6'2.
Though I don't even agree on Shaw's and RB's height. Seeing Shaw with Hafthor I think Brian is in the mid 6'6 range which in turn makes, RB in the mid 6'4 range (makes sense, because he was always a tad to close in height with legit 6'3 athlete and youtubers for my liking to be a 6'5+ guy) . Which puts Eduard's height even lower.

His friend Pat can actually look closer to 6'5 I think, definitely taller than 6'4 flat, a good chance of 194-5 range I think. No wonder he laughs at Eddie's claims of 6'3. I think if you asked him his height he'd say 6'5.

I think the same when I'm running the mile and cannot believe it is humanly possible to run 4 minutes! I wonder what Eddie's friend Pat claims, he can look 6'4-6'4.5 maybe next to Eddie in my opinion. Reminds me of Alan Shearer. Probably claims 6'5.

Genetics plays a huge role in how much you can gain through mass and fat though. The majority of guys could never come close to being as big as Eddie, 10,000 calories and lifting heavy or not. Most men couldn't weigh more than 25 stone, however much they tried! I don't know what you mean James, in my experience women tend to prefer the more aesthetic male physiques, decent muscle but not too beefy and more athletic. I don't think women tend to find the super bulky power lifter type attractive, but there's probably a percentage who like it.

Yes, even Oberst said the the world storngmen competitors are "outcasts out of outcasts", he said it's one thing to take lifting weights to an extreme and wanting to become the strongest you possibly can, but a whole other level of obsession and sacrifice in wanting to become the world's strongest man. It is very expensive eating 10,000 calories with a lot of meat a day for a start. Even that Polish guy Pud whatever his name lived in a small house, even after winning several times. Nowdays it seems they are able to make more more through Youtube and selling merchandise and promotions etc which is good but in danger of becoming silly with fights like Eddie and Thor.

Man I used to really like and enjoy watching Eddie but the unrelenting strive for having people agree that he's 190 and the constant self centered attention and praise he desperately craves really puts me off. He's even started to put on a deeper voice when speaking to the camera. I feel like if he was just himself he would probably be one of the most respected persons on the planet.
Exactly. The more you see of him the more it's very obvious he's a narcissistic personality disorder type. It does take a certain type to want to be the strongest man in the world anyway. He's nearer 160kg about 350 pounds now Alirza, at least getting into more normal territory but still grotesquely overweight.

Editor RobEddie has certainly looked 6ft 1 to 1.5, but then if he can Bust a Gut I do think a proper measurement (rather than the 190cm one) could result in closer to 6ft 2...but yeah, I can see why a fair amount of the time he doesn't seem 6ft 1.5-2 range.

Man I used to really like and enjoy watching Eddie but the unrelenting strive for having people agree that he's 190 and the constant self centered attention and praise he desperately craves really puts me off. He's even started to put on a deeper voice when speaking to the camera. I feel like if he was just himself he would probably be one of the most respected persons on the planet.

There is no way Eddie is 6 foot 3, or 6 foot 2.5. Look at him in videos with guys like Larry Wheels and Patty Mcguinness, Eddie is barely taller and sometimes even shorter than them. Take into account that he is wearing thick soled shoes as well. He is no where near 6 foot 3 or 2.5. He could be 6'1" in the morning and shrink half an inch, due to the guy being nearly twice the weight of your average Joe.
As far as the stadiometer measurement, no wear in the measuring part of the video do we see his feet, and he was jumping a bit to make himself taller. Seeing him next to other strong men that claim 6'2" and 6'3" and Eddie being a good inch or two shorter shows he is just lying. He's got an ego about it too.

ROb by the way are you gonna take another look at big z now. theres is clearly mre than 2,5 cm beetween them. i think 1/4 upgrade for big z would be closer , he could even be 192 from what i saw. remember that there is atleast 4 cm beetween those two guys.

How does he manage to look 2 inches shorter than Big Z?
When Eddie was measured he was standing on his toes somewhat, no doubt about that. Using his neck tattoo as a point of reference you can see he moves up a few cm.

I always assumed he was more of a 6'1 guy but i guess the upgrade makes sense. His weight can make him look a little shorter than he actually is. In the video the stadiometer seems to stop at his hair rather than his actual head. His hair could add 2 cm or 3. So 187-188 cm for Eddie is accurate. I'm pretty sure the doctors would've called him out on tip-toeing and wearing shoes. Every doctor I've been to always made sure i was in socks, and everyone who I'd accompany with for a checkup would always be asked to have their shoes off too. Can't see why it'd be any different, really.

Rob, let's not forget that he was shorter than old HHH: Click Here
We don't know wether he was tip toeing (the fact that it looked like he was "floatig" the first seconds of the measurement could be a clue, as well as the fact that we see his shoulders get suddenly noticeably higher) or if he was on shoes and on top of that he was laying before that "measurement" too btw. Tbh i don't think the argument "He's big and looks shorter" really stands either, considering the fact that it doesn't matter if we are looking at his head/eyes when comparing him with other people.

Editor RobEddie was certainly pleased with himself achieving 190cm for his video. It's a shame it was filmed not showing feet...
When I did sneaker videos, I made sure Jenny shot from feet upwards in all of them!

If he is measuremented 190 cm, he can't be shorten than 188 cm . When I saw him in 2015, he give me impression 185-186 cm guy. But he was too fat. Overweight may cause shortened height. Now his weight is down. He may have come back to his normal height

@Rampage(-_-_-)Clover
Even if he was barefoot, you can still see at the very end of the measurement he shot up on his top toes very briefly, you can see the head piece rise a few cm

I also thought he was more a 6ft1 range guy initially but I think with really large guys like that they can have some height in reserve. Remember this guy is over 400lbs!
But Rob, do you think that Eddie pulled a Gordon Ramsay with that 190cm measurement and was in shoes?

Rob he doesn’t look quite 6’2 next to Sheamus does he?
Click Here
Editor Rob
Didn't seem that much less beside Sheamus, 187 range looked believable, but then if he gets measured and stands his tallest he can be one of those guys who measures more than they look.
Keeping in mind he's three times the width of most women, anybody that broad is going to look shorter. Eddie said most people think he's 5 ft 8 or 9 and are surprised when they meet him!!
