@Ano: your name means anus in italian, that explains everything. 5'8 is ridiculous like you name is. Use your brain.

Now that Glenn is Banned I fell free to say that in my opinion McGregor is no more than 1.75m (5'9'') peak.

if farrell is 5'10 then macgregor is 5'7. i saw on behind the scenes pictures of casandras dream and farrell was far taller. personally i reckon farrell is 5'10.5 so ewan is around 5'7.5-5'8.

Ewan looks in the 174-175cm around 5'9 range and no more,and I think Hayden Christensen is in the 180-181cm range a solid 5'11 or so.

Okay I have a question, if he's 5'9.5 then why does Hayden Christensen (6'0) seem to tower over him in Star Wars?

He looked tall in Trainspotting, but I guess that's because he was very, very skinny then.

Mmm he looked very average in the Boorman documentaries. He isn't short per se but sometimes appears to be. I think it very likely he is between 5'9" and 5'10", Definately not above 5'10". I had thought Boorman to be around 5'8", surprised he is a 5'7"er. He looks to me 5'9" ish exactly as Glenn described him.

Visibly shorter than Hayden in Episodes II + III, while 6'4" Liam Neeson towered over him in Episode I. 5'10"-ish seems pretty accurate.

In my opinion 5'10.5" out of bed is a bit to high for Ewan, although I can buy 5'10" any time. In any case he is little under 5'10" midday, maybe 5'9.5" like Rob has him here. Btw I saw in Star Wars 2,5, max 3 inches between him and Hayden, camera tricks made it seem a little more though.

Longoria's comment is ridiculous. I hate when women that short call average height men short. Longoria can't call any guy over 5'5" short, she's barely 5'0"! I agree with Leung and Glenn that Eva is overrated. I personally like women atleast close to 5'4", but usually in the 5'4"-5'5" range. I'm about 5'8" so even though I'm not that tall, girls under 5'2" look like little kids at times.

With 5ft7.25 / 5ft7.5 Charlie Boorman: Click Here Charlie said "i'm 5ft7 and a fag-end and 14 stone" and he's not the type to lie. Look at his shoes, they're battered, low-cut trainers giving no more than 1". If he (Boorman) had height insecurities he'd choose bigger shoes. McGregor, clearly the more height-conscious man is wearing 2" chunky biker boots, has a slight lean but looks around 2.5" more than Boorman. If we deduct 1" from Ewan's beefed footwear so he becomes near equal to Boorman's footwear, Ewan becomes 1.5 taller than Boorman and that's being generous as Boorman's trainers might only give 0.75". This indicates that McGregor is a flat 5ft9 at best; 5ft8.75 more likely.

This seems bang on and one of the reasons why I didn't think Bale was very tall. He didn't really "beat" McGregor in "Velvet Goldmine", though I haven't watched it in some time and I can't remember the kind of footwear McGregor wore in their scenes together.
That said, another man who does average height proud and sexy.
Also, I'm a shortie and I can gauge heights pretty well. I know where I should come up to a person depending on their heights.

anyone who says things like "he is definitely 5'10 because he looked it in such and such movie with such and such actor" has no validity to their claim. Ewan can be standing on a box next to another actor for face shots. One can manipulate height so much on movies. Only real life evidence or past height logs (shorter or taller) are legit

I would put my money on him being in the 5'10 region. In long way round and long way down he consistently looks taller than Charlie Boorman - who is listed as 5'9 - although I reckon he could be 5'8.5 yet he doesn't look small as he is well-built. In any case, I don't think he is anything less than 5'9.5. He seems so down to earth on tv I can't imagine height ever crosses his mind!

Glenn is spot on, 5-9 to 5-11 is tricky to gauge, posture, footwear and general build all play a part. I am 5ft 10 barefoot. I dont stand up straight and often get referred to as being short by taller friends. yet I have pictures of me stood next the same friends and they look no taller, in some cases shorter. Probably the reason why average size celebs get the majority of the attention on this site. Ewan is average height just under 6ft, in his last tv show he didn't look small against his rather large motorbike. Oh and Eva is beautiful whatever height she is (sorry all Eva haters) and so is Kylie Minogue for the record, not related but a fact none the less.

He's probably pretty close to 5-9.5. In Star Wars he looked 2-3 inches shorter than hayden Christensen and about 5 inches shorter than Samuel L. Jackson. So 5-9.5 is pretty good.

I'm around his same height and I wouldn't call him a "little short" because quite frankly, he isn't, as he's right around average. And if he really is 5'10 1/2", then I have no idea how that would be short at all, as there are plenty of Hollywood men at that height.
The comment itself is quite insulting as she said he was gorgeous even if he was a "little short". She's barely 5' tall (and it's possible that she may be less than that) so I can't see how he would look short to her, given that he's nearly a foot taller. I'm also not a fan of hers, but I think she's quite attractive, albeit overrated. Yet, her comment kind of rubbed me the wrong way. And I'm a girl.

Why you picking on Eva Longoria? Being a short person doesn't mean you can't judge on other peoples heights especially when they are "short" or "not so tall"...thats what she meant.....she thought he'd be taller but he seemed to her a little short...and I'm sure that Eva Longoria like all short people can tell clos to exactly whether somebody is short, average or tall....by the way I'm no fan of hers, I think Ewan is hot and his heights does not matter since he has a good size ;-)

I find it ironic that Eva Longoria commented that Evan was a "little short". Actually, I find it ridiculous. I think I have lost some respect for her just after reading that comment.
If he stood closer, he might be 5'10", but I can't really see anything over 5'9". But then again, his posture isn't the best...

clearly a strong 5'10" guy. He looks it in every movie. Not tall-not short. Just a regular fella. Great height to be. With lose posture you can come across as a bit shortish but rather average , with the right shoes and strong posture getting in the "slightly tallish" department.(Bratt Pitt is the perfect example for that)

Looks that height 5ft9.5 maybe 5ft10. Glenn's head is titled up and Ewan is looking down, So I won't go by the eye level but by the top of head.

In the Phantom Menace it was difficult to tell if he's 5' 9" or 10" as Neeson would tower regardless. He did however seem to edge Ray Park who's 5' 8" or 9" I believe. I think Ewan's 5' 10".

5'9 is not really NOT short. Its the average height of the American male. The average height used to be 5'8 about 50 years ago. The average height for women is 5'4. Which makes sense. 5 inches difference between the average male and female. I guess theres a myth that the average man is 6 ft tall. I'm about 5'10 and I tower over a lot of women and then there are some women who are as tall as me, but rarely taller.

Yeah you guys are right. I consider Ewan McGregor within the average height range for a male. Eva Longoria is clearly well below average female height, she is often referred to as petite which in layman

I personally think it takes some nerve for a little shrimp like Eva Longoria to comment on McGregor's height. I swear...the double standards that some women have! Yeah, guys come in all different sizes just like girls do, SHORTY! Girls, if an average-sized guy is more than 5 inches taller than you are, YOU'RE THE SHORT ONE!

5'10 or close to it. Anything below 5'9" is not realistic. He never looks short, just never tall.

I stood right next to him and there's no way he's 5'9". I'm 5'7" and he was at the most an inch taller, and probably my same height. I put his height at between 5'7" - 5'8". He was wearing Chuck Taylors, so those shoes would not give him any extra height like if he were wearing boots or thick-soled shoes.

1) His eyes are lower than glenn. Head about the same.
2) Glenn walks around at 5'7.5 (5'8 morning)
3) I cannot see him losing more than 1 inch due to bad posture.
So assuming he is slouching Adding 1 inch for bad posture that would make him 5'7.5 + 1" = 5'8.5...Maybe 5'9.
Just my take but perhaps the pic is just deceiving???

In the most recent GQ British Issue, Daniel Craig is on the cover, and in the interview inside he comments on the spectulation regarding the decision made by the MGM studios to choose him over Mcgregor. He comments on the rumour that the reason they chose him over Ewan was that he was 2 inches taller, which he disputes claiming he had met Ewan and they were the same exact height. Maybe this is Craig's admmittance that he is shorter than he's reported. So it's 5ft9.5 barefoot for him and Ewan,and 5ft10.5 to 5ft11 depending on the footwear for both these great actors.

Ewan is a well-proportioned guy. And kudos to him, he is content to wear sneakers and not go for the blantant "Damon pose" when he is being snapped.
He does look a very slight guy. He was dwarfed by 6'2" Jonathan Ross, and I'd put him at a very solid 5'9.5".

I'm thinking, whilst far from conclusive, McGregor appeared taller beside Ethan than the Editor does.
Conclusion? None really, just a small observation :=)

Sorry for yet another extra-long post, but:
MD said: "I think this proves that there is no way that Alex is his listed 5'10.5", because Ewan is not even 5'10" from all over the other evidence posted here."
No, nothing written/shown here proves anything. I think I've provided some pretty strong evidence that McGregor is about 5' 10", but I've never tried to suggest that any of it proves anything. Because it doesn't, anymore than anyone else's pictures prove that he's only 5' 7", 5' 8", 5' 9", or what-have-you.
There are just so many factors to consider.
For instance, how straight are any two or more people standing in the pictures where we are comparing their heights?
I tested myself to see how much height I could lose if I slouched without doing any overt bending or anything. I didn't do any exact measurements, but I easily lost between 3.5 - 4 inches (!) just from slouching. I was surprised it was that much, but it just goes to show that if people aren't standing up perfectly straight, it's difficult if not impossible to tell their height within 1-2, or even 3-4 inches.
--Apply this to, say, your picture of McGregor and Tim Roth.
In that picture, it looks like Roth is standing up straight, but McGregor is not.
His knees look bent, he is definitely bent at the hip, his shoulders look like they may be slouching (which is an indication that his spine may not be straight either), and his head looks like it could be dipped down to some degree.
Do I think this proves that McGregor would stretch out to 3 or so inches taller than Roth when he stands straight? No. But do I think it's strong enough evidence that he could stretch out to be that much taller than Roth? You bet I do. He only needs to raise himself about 2 more inches to achieve that.
--
Another consideration- When we compare any two persons' heights, even if they're standing straight and barefoot and perfectly side-by-side, we have to know the exact height of one of the persons, with certainty, before we can think that it proves anything.
Considering that the heights of most celebrities on this site are in dispute, it seems to me there is just no way to be absolutely certain about any of this.
Throw in the fact that in any given picture somebody may be wearing lifts (obvious ones or not). And that many of the photos linked to here don't show people below the waist, meaning you not only can't see their footware but also not their stance or if anyone is standing on anything.
And heresay eyewitness accounts should be always be taken with a grain of salt I think. Some people may be good at gauging another's height when meeting them, but some others are definitely not.
At any rate, if I were a lawyer out to provide reasonable doubt about the supposed proof of any of the evidence given here, I'm sure I probably could.
For instance, the Scarlet Johannson photos - McGregor isn't standing straight in the pictures with her (I've looked through a lot of the photos from that event and he's hardly standing straight in any of them. He always seems to be bent at the hip), and she's actually wearing pretty tall heels (I could provide a photo to show this if anyone wants, but I'm tired of posting photos at this moment :)). Her heels could easily be 4 inchers, even more.
Or take the photo way down below with Djimon Housou. He appears I guess about 7 inches taller than McGregor there, and if he is the 6' 5" he apparently has said he is, than that fits. But he is nowhere near that much taller than McGregor in the photos from 'The Island' premiere.
etc, etc...

I saw him on the American Chopper Europe trip. When he stood next to Paul Sr., he looked about an inch shorter. I think Paul Sr. states he is 6 foot but I would think it is more like 5'11". (He may have been 6 foot in his prime.)
So that would make Ewan around 5'10". Perhaps 5'9.5". Although looking at that photo with Glen, he looks closer to 5'9".

5'10.5" with shoes on (rounded up to 5'11" of course *wink). I think maybe the two-inch rule could just be a "with shoes on rule" for guys that aren't really short but average, whose publicists want them to seem closer to the arbitrarily wonderful 6-foot mark. Thoughts from the peanut gallery?

Ewan McGregor may very well be 55'9" but he always seems a bit taller than that, so 5'9.5" sounds right. He seems like a cool guy and is a great actor. If he is indeed lower than 5'9.5" as some are saying. Rob what chat television shows has this site been mentioned on? Hey Glenn what can I say, another fantastic job, bro.

Editor Rob to be fair to McGregor, He's not wearing lifts standing with Gerard Butler...at least not anything noticeable...

I was right, especially given that Glenn is closer to the camera. This guy looks 5'8.5" tops.

On this very site, Albert Finney is listed at 5'9''--which is consistent with sightings. Now look at Finnery next to McGregor for this photo to promote "Big Fish". Click Here
McGregor is probably 5'8'' in shoes, 5'7 1/2'' barefoot.

And the stars shall shudder at your diligence.... the truth is out there! I don't really think Rob actually said Clooney was 6', the Daily Mail isn't exactly renowned for it's accurate quoting.
Why on earth does Elton downplay his height??! I don't get that.

Editor Rob this was the Sunday Mail (i.e. Daily Record)...the actual newspaper article looks better than the online version with picture. Ah, elton/rod I was saying that in the past they have been described at some crazy low heights like 5ft 5 and 4, but in reality they are nearer 5ft 8 and 10...
someone's gotta stick up for Rod ;-) He's a celtic fan after all...just like me!

Heres how you figue out an actors actual height.
5ft6 = 5ft4
5ft8 = 5ft5
5ft9 = 5ft6
5ft10 = 5ft8
6ft = 5ft10
6ft2 = 6ft
if your above or below those heights, generally your too short or too tall to really lie and get away with it.
Glenn, your the height Xpert, what your take on this?

Editor Rob maybe Ewan will finally succumb to losing a cm...he will lose it when your picture goes up on the page ;-) What's the guy like in person, I've heard he's down to earth...?
as for 5ft 10.5, this is starwars height, but wait...in Brian Pendreigh's book about ewan it had the bit:
"Ewan's résumé had him listed as six foot"
I've never seen/heard the guy giving a height...bizarre, I'm certain he's said it one point though...

RedBull, I don't buy the fact that most male actors add THAT many inches to their height, but Rob really needs to take him down, at least, a full inche as actors usually add around 2-3 extra inches to their height. This 5'10" is just ridiculous. 5'10" Jay Leno was more around 2" taller than him.

Editor Rob Ewan is on the 'hmmm' list, one of those guys who could be a little shorter, although I wanna hear glenn's inperson estimate of this geezer. A lot of pics put him in the 5ft 9 range more than 10 for sure...in fact there were a few putting him 174cm beside one actress on getty!

Eva Longoria: ""I do like British guys. If I had to pick one it would be Ewan McGregor. I met him once and he was gorgeous even if he is a little short."
Funny that this is coming from 5"-5´1" Longoria. I don´t see why some women only like men who tower over them and make them look like little children when they are standing next to them. I mean even if MgGregor is only 5´8" he still would be 7-8 inches taller than her and she considers this too short?

Rob, he really isn't 5'10", though like any actor, he can look a certain height depending on the part. Like I said, he was at least 1.5"-2" shorter than Jay Leno. What can also make him look tall is his very thin build, as well. He can look very long and gaunt.

Out of interest I looked up some pictures of Hayden Christensen, to see their height comparisons off screen. On his website there are a bunch of Star Wars EPISODE 3: Revenge of the Sith, premiere photos. Big group shots and individuals. I thought Ewan was about 5ft10 and Christensen 6ft, but in these photos Ewan looked really small. Only a litle taller than George Lucas, Anthony Daniels, and Producer Rick Mcallum. All these guys are in the 5ft6 to 5ft8 range. Ewan looked tops 5ft8.5 or 5ft9. I know he wears boots in alot of movies, so maybe he's 5ft8.5 barefeet, and pushing 5ft10 in boots.

Yeah, it's time to reexamine and revise this height. Like I said, he looked 1.5-2" shorter than Jay Leno on his show (maybe even more), and was in very flat cross-trainers.
Here are is a pic for reference:
A good picture of him with 5'2" to 5'3" Natalie Portman (take into account she is stepping, as well) both in normal footwear:
1. http://www.ewanspotting.com/media/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/mtv02a.jpg
To me, even with his thin build, he's always appeared average or slightly below in height, but never over. He doesn't look anything over 5'9.5"

Judging by this photo from 'Blue Juice' [I think] a bare foot Ewan is roughly the same height or marginally taller than a Timberland boot wearing Cathy Z Jones [5ft 7.5 on this site] but a few inches shorrter than the equally bare foot Sean Pertwee [listed as 6ft]. Making him 5.9 at best I'd say. Although I'll stick by my 5ft 8.5 of the previous post. Hopefully the link works.

I met Ewan at screening of 'A Life Less Ordinary' [The aforementioned movie with Ms Diaz] in Glasgow. He was slightly shorter than me and I am around 5 ft 9in [possibly shorter]. I'd say 5ft 8.5 to be generous to a fellow Jock.

Well, I must say that the appearence on Parkinson must be considered to be one of the most accurate ones - You saw the shoes on both of them (Parky may gain about 0,5 inches on that), then they embraced eachother and McGregor was CLEARLY atleast an inch shorter than Parky (even if you count the shoes). Parky stood very relaxed and McGregor had to stretch up when he hugged him.

Ewan may actually be shorter than many think. He was on Jay Leno and looked and inch or so shorter. If Jay is 5'10" than Ewan must be 5'9" or maybe 5'8.5" He has a slim build which makes him look taller.
