I was surprised how short he was. When i saw him at the kids choice award, he looked barely 5 foot 9. I always thought he was a 6 footer. 5 foot 9.

Seriously Rob, he looks shorter than you in this pic, it's his hat that adds quite a bit of height.
Hob said on 7/Aug/12
he must have thick shoe/boots with rob. he can't be over 5'8 without lift
tralalalals said on 12/Jun/12
delete his hat from picture so he is even smaller than rob..so if they stands straight they are pretty much same height + Ians lifts.. this guy is no more than 5ft 8

on lost he seemed 173-174cm , at least I saw that I thought he is a weak inch shorter than Maggie Grace but to be fair he is taller than her for 1cm

Re: "Dan says on 19/Aug/11
i agree with you Bella, he could be anywhere between 5'9 and 5'10,"

You mean you wish he was! =)

i don't wish anything, so no i don't wish he was, i think he is, and if you don't that is your thought, not mine. no wishing is going on here
karl said on 7/Feb/12
5'10 for that guy seem fair
jase said on 6/Feb/12
How much can his boots give anyways? Max would prolly be around 2 inches I think. Highly doubt it goes beyond that. If you notice his footwear and his stance, you can see him leaning akwardly at times. As a lift wearer, I have seen pics of myself in akward poses as well as opposed to standing straight.

he wears big boots but not lifts !weak 5'9 with rob i cant see an inch dereference here
tallone06 said on 30/Jan/12
maybe a stupid question, but why don't u just ask him?? I mean I have read at least two times: I've met him! so why not ask him??
Reality said on 19/Jan/12
@ Jack: It's because Ian isn't staying straight.
Jack said on 16/Jan/12
To be honest I don't see any particular difference in height with Rob.
jase said on 12/Jan/12
Ian Somherhalder with 6 footer Terrence Howard...

Even with normal shoes, no way in hell can a 5`9 person stretch 3 inches.
He def reaches a good 5`11 with shoes and lifts inside...no?
jase said on 11/Jan/12
Hmmm...cant really rule out the lifts though. Coz i think when wearing bigger heels even for me, the length of the pants does not alter. The jeans will come accordingly and rest on the top of the shoe. haha does that make any sense at all? All based on a lift wearer perspective of course. I hvae noticed robert downey as well. He has really normal 5`8 proportions in normal pics. But at premiere events, the body proportions go way off. In pant length he can stretch from 32L jeans to 34L. According to Ian`s model profile, his leg length is of 32 I believe. Which is usually normal for most 5`9 to 5`10. Of course diff people have diff leg lengths. However, only at events, it looks like his pant length increases to 34 which is usually what a 5`11 or 6 footer would have. I am 5`9 myself wearing 31 or 30 length jeans. But with lifts on, I def stretch to 32.
jase said on 10/Jan/12
Hi Rob, do you have any reason to believe that he is a wearer of lifts?
After going through certain pics, the length of his leg pants seem extra long at certain events. As mentioned before, when I am indeed wearing lifts myself, I have to make sure that my pants are also extended by 2 inches to accommodate the lift. Hence, the legs look a whole lot longer for my proportions. I seem to notice that about him as well. Certain pics show a normal proportion. There was one pic in an award show where his legs seem extra extra long. lol
Editor Rob
he might favour a bigger heel on occasion, don't know about lifts though.
Chris said on 1/Jan/12
5'9 fits perfect for him. Solid average guy. That quarter inch added was innecesary.
Hi said on 17/Dec/11
Hey Rob, if you are a 5ft8, in that photo, Ian does not look 5ft 9.25 in. 5ft 9in tops in his best day.
jase said on 17/Dec/11
If you look at his footwear and the way his legs are in the shoes, its almost like he has insert lifts in them. I have insole lifts as well and it usually leans your body in a funny way. Wont be surprise if he is getting an extra 1 inch lift in his shoes to match with paul wesley height. What do you think Rob? He has great proportions though, hence he used to model. Modelling is not just about height but a 5`9 guy could also model based on good proportions.

Shaun said on 15/Dec/11
Hey Rob, if there was no apparent difference in footwear, and you're 5ft 8in (like me!) why are you stating that he's an inch taller than you at 5 ft 9in when he actually looks a bit shorter than you in this photo! Just saying!
Trolololololol said on 13/Dec/11
Hey Rob, you shouldn't worry about heights dude. You should worry about that face of yours.

I'm glad it annoys you enough to comment and visit the site. My face is a money earner after all.

nothing under 5'9
lina164 said on 4/Dec/11
pepole... a man who looks like Ian doesnt need to worry about inch or inch & a half. and its the same with pual wesly. besides, how accurate can we be when judgeing based on pictures? so inch here or there... not critical, not for me. us girls shouldnt be so choosy with guys especially when it's come to phaysical characteristics... it's not like we look like models with 5'7-8, not most of us anyway. we all stand on the average on the scale, men and women.
Legend said on 25/Oct/11
@sunny

I need boots like that LOL
A said on 2/Sep/11
@Bella: I'm sure Rob already accounted for the bend in this photo or else he would've given Ian around 5'8" if he didn't do so. This guy is no taller than listed.
Legend said on 25/Aug/11
No he's not over 5'9.
Dan said on 19/Aug/11
i agree with you Bella, he could be anywhere between 5'9 and 5'10,
Bella said on 14/Aug/11
dude you can see hes bending a little and do u guys know how much an inch is? and inch us small so he could be between 5'9" or 5'10" but no way 5'8"
rob89 said on 9/Aug/11
Has he been upgraded? I swear he was listed at a flat 5'9" last time i looked on this page.
Editor Rob
6 months back, to 176

Nicola says on 13/Feb/11
ian is obviously ridiculously good looking yeh yeh... but the guy is not 5'9.25 that's silly.
He's probably a solid 5'8-5'8.5 and with big boots. I've met him 3 times and he was wearing some pretty hefty footwear all three times... and you can just tell.. like from his frame...

I think what's silly is arguing only a half an inch below his confirmed height and calling that silly. Rob said both were in equal footwear and Ian still looks taller tilting into Rob. Moreover, guessing height from one's frame is just stupid and very inaccurate.
DrJJ said on 25/Jul/11
Rob is trying the old "arm round shoulder height boost technique". Lol.
Button said on 25/Jul/11
How does he look the same height as Rob? He's clearly taller. He's not standing very straight in the picture, but he still looks a bit taller than Rob. I think Rob is even slightly over 5'8", right? Like 5'8.25"? So, there's no way Ian can be just 5'8" like some people here are saying. If he stood up straight I easily see him being a full 5'9", if not a bit more.

one thing for sure he is not a tall guy 5ft9 sounds fair enough
Emma said on 10/May/11
Nina is 5'5-5'6" and Paul is around 5'10". Ian is about 5'9", no questions asked. He is a bit shorter than average, but it doesn't really matter because he's amazing. I don't see why people here are obsessing over half an inch- no one actually cares in life! People judge you based on your actual features, and your personality, so as long as you're not too short or too tall, then height is no big deal.

ala said on 20/Apr/11
comparing him to Joshua and adding Ian about 1 inch from the shoes, he is still taller than 5'9, so stop talking he is shorter. On the show next to Tylor kiney he was like the same height with him and he's 5'11. You don't know how to compare people, when someone is taller than other person for 1 inch, people say it's 5 inch. Yea i would say that about cm but inches are big scales.
todopoderoso said on 18/Apr/11
ians probably wearin lifts next to joshua, no way they are the same height

He's not standing straight next to Rob. I think Rob's estimate is accurate...

If he were 5" taller he would be the ultimate male role model.
Anonymous said on 18/Feb/11
Being that this guys is in the 5'8"-5'9" range, How was he able to be a male model? I thought they want guys who are atleast 5'11"(180 cm).

he's taller than the guy who plays Elijah in the vampire diaries by more than an inch? that guys listed as 5'11. he's also taller than a female cast member who's 5'10. lifts?

looks the same height as Rob. So 5-8

I'd say he's near 5'10 and Paul W is 5'10.5ish. They never look short, and often both look a strong average.

Looks like my height 175-176.weak 176 for me.defiently not over 176 more than 3cm difference looks a little notiicable. this is one of those under 3cm jobs ie hard to really tell. could be as low as 174-175 range but Ill put him 175.5
Barry G said on 18/Dec/10
5'8. Well proportioned frame, athletic physique and footwear, always chunky footwear make him look taller. I don't see him being over 5'8.
Joanna said on 3/Dec/10
I thought Ian is 5'9 but now I think he is taller. Recently Ian was on the tonight show. Jay Leno is 5'11 that's a pic Click Here actually we don't see their legs but also he is a video of the show Click Here That is really changing thoughts about his height.
Dean said on 26/Nov/10
To me he looks around your height..he has a hat on as well...Id say 5'8.5

Anonymous said on 17/Mar/09
james vanderbeek has 3.5-4.5 inches on him in The Rules of Attraction.

But what I noticed in that movie is that J.V. is taller than most people, as he was in Dawson's creek. So I am going to guess that Vanderbeek is 6ft and this guy is 5'8.5''
RON said on 27/Jan/09
he may have done runway shows. some men top models as tyson beckford are 5-11 on the dot or even shorter as supermodel oliver cheshire. watch tyson show for dsquared this season and see the the rest of the models are not very much taller than him.
Dural said on 10/Jan/09
He doesn't look shorter than Rob. He could be an inch taller if he wasn't leaning. 5'9" is probably correct.
Bouncer said on 10/Jan/09
I see 5'8 here.
He is leaning and looks a tad shorter than Rob. Perhaps he is the same height when he stands straight.
Anoymous said on 7/Oct/08
Hey Rob can I ask one thing: I am a little over 5'9" in the morning, and am a tiny bit under 5'9" throughout most of the day, and am 5'8.5" by night. These measurements are not too accurate I don't think, as I am a heavy guy and this was measured in my room, where I sink in the carpet a little. Can I say I'm 5'9", or not?

Editor Rob
carpet is tricky, you got a tiled/linoleum floor in your bathroom or kitchen, best trying it on that!

One moment, is that Anonymous guy on this page Ian Somerholder?
C said on 25/Aug/08
Ian Somerholder has done runway shows. And while the ideal height for a male model is between 5'11"-6'2" there are always exceptions. Agencies often lie about models heights (either rounding them up or down). Many models listed at 6'0" are 5'10". Oliver Cheshire a model has done runway for Dolce and Gabbana and many other designers even though he is 5'9". There are no rules, if a model has a unique or desirable look than they will accept them despite their lack of height.
Anonymous said on 23/Aug/08
Hey Rob I have a question to ask you, when I get up in the morning I'm 5' 91/2'' and during the day I drop down to 5' 91/4'' and by late night like 11pm I'm 5' 9'' sometimes 5' 87/8'' depending on sleep, would you call that a strong 5' 9'' ?

Editor Rob
solid 5ft 9 yes.
B said on 22/Aug/08
Yes that's true you must at least be 6-0 to be a male runway model but this guy was never a runway model he's done more commercial work so his height is fine.
Ronaldo said on 6/Aug/08
A male model must be 1m82-1m90
Female model must be 1m72-180

of course there are exceptions like kate moss: 1m67.
Yiit said on 8/Jul/08
Patrick from Germany says on 6/Jul/05
How could he be a model if he's only 5'9"?
I always thought you have to be at least 6 feet.In Germany the minimum height for a model is 1,85 metres

well patrick... i dont think anyone in germany can look like him...

and he is 175cm
Marcel said on 6/Jul/08
174-175cm sounds correct.
Antron said on 31/May/08
No shorter than 174cm.
dmeyer said on 15/May/08
he looks short on lost but 5 ft 9 fits him, also rob you say easy 5 ft 9 do you mean 176

Editor Rob
I mean legit 5ft 9, or even 9.25
Random person said on 5/May/08
Yeah it's gotta be his beret that's giving him that extra inch
Anonymous said on 3/May/08
Annonymous (again)

Although, perhaps the photo is taken with Straithairn very early in the day and that accounts for Somerhalder looking taller. I was fairly shocked to find that when I measured my own height after a long hard day I was 5'9.4 when I am slightly over 5'10 in the morning, that means I could look as little as 5'9 or as much as 5'10. Perhaps the same goes for Somerhalder.
Anonymous said on 1/May/08
Next to David Strathairn (listed as 5'11.5 here) he looks to be only giving a way an inch at most, and even with heeled shoes, or with Strathairn standing straight, Somerhalder must be at least 5'9.75 if not 5'10 in my opinion.

i cant get over people here saying hes got 4cms on rob, no way, i see barely any difference, from this pic if rob is 173 then ian is 173-174, i am aware that he is leaning slightly though

Hey! that's a good pic,

ian its 5'8 tops..I know you met him..but dont know...he enver looked 5'9 to me..

Editor Rob
you are fully entitled to believe he's any height you want him to be. I didn't need more than 5 seconds in my mind to realise the only way he'd be 5-8 is with lifts.
Anonymous said on 27/Oct/07
Man Rob, you don't lose a lot of height at all that's like nothing. I lose a quarter of an inch
from afternoon to evening, in total from morning to evening I lose half an inch I geuss that's not so bad. How do you lose so less, is it your diet? I tried an experiment one day and I found that my body needs at least 6 hours of sleep to acheive maximum height wich is 177.165 cm or 5' 93/4'' almost 5' 10''. Rob i'm guessing your around 5' 81/2'' in the morning 174cm?

Editor Rob
Anonymous said on 26/Oct/07
So Rob, that means your around 5' 83/8'' during the day? or 173.6cm.

Editor Rob
nah, by afternoon I'm 173cm, by evening 172.7.cm.

at some cons (ones in a hotel) I think the earliest I've got a pic would be 2 hours from getting out of bed. In those cases I would still be like 173.2cm but that's minority. Mostly count on me being as close to 5-8 mark as you'll get.

Ian out of bed I think is strong 177cm, unless he suffers Francostein height loss.

Anonymous said on 26/Oct/07
Hey Rob it's very possible this guy is taller than 5' 9'', maybe 5' 91/2'' since you saw him at 5' 9'' at night. I think he could be my height because in the morning i'm 5' 93/4'' than I get down to 5' 91/2'' which is my day height, at night im 5' 91/4'' sometimes 5' 91/8'' if it's a bad day but I never drop below that mark. What do you think Rob? because I think he's more like a strong 176cm. Oh do you remember what time of night this photo was taken 7pm maybe?

Editor Rob
no, I say believe he's still five nine at night because, this was afternoon, he'd been sitting a lot signing, which puts pressure on spine so I think hed be near lowest height anyway and looked legit five nine at this time, maybe 176cm more than 175, but very hard to say. I was actually up since one am driving for six hours so I am at very lowest night height, I think.

But then from afternoon to night I barely lose more than two more mm anyway so most pics of me I'm ninety eight percent of the time in the 172.7 - 173.2cm range.

Bombay Rocker said on 4/Jul/07
Well to name a few, freddie ljungberg(arsenal fc player) models for calvin klein and not like any part time thing, he's actually one of their top models and is big time into modelling and he is 175 - 176. Mark wahlberg used to be a supermodel and the best in his time and he's actually the guy who single handedly made calvin klein more popular then they every were and he is maybe a max of 175 but there is a dabate that he might be close to 5 feet 8 and right now is listed as 173. Martin henderson is a max of 175 but listed as 174 and he was a top model so it depends....you can say that freddie ljungberg and mark wahlberg were already popular and all cause of their backgrounds and their offscreen personna but that doesnt stand true for martin henderson and ian somerhalder to a large extent but ya you cant be 5 feet 5 or something and expect to be a supermodel unfortunately......that's how the world works, there are some careers where you have to be tall or atleast average to make it big....so if you are a little short like maybe like 5 feet 8, you still stand a chance to make it big.
Kev said on 3/Jul/07
Well as an aspiring model he inspires me. He has this dark mysterious fashionable look. And hes been modeling since he was 10. I do believe he is short for a fashion model. Any reputably agency would say that the male model would have to be 6ft. You could be less then that to do commercial modeling. Since ian had such an early start in modeling im sure these magazines such as gq and guess looked at his resume and loved all his past work. And may i also remind ya while ian was doing an extra 4 black in white in the late 90's a future modeling agent or casting agent instantly picked ian of 400 people to be in his agency based off ians exotic and star potential look. And you cant judge no ones height based off a picture.
Brent said on 30/Jun/07
Iam surprised to find out this guy was a model????
Bombay Rocker said on 9/Jun/07
Are you kiddin me, he actually looks taller than rob to me and not just one inch which is 2.5 cms but more like 3 - 4 cms and that is night time so he is possibly a strong 176 something in the morning and no less that 5 feet 9 even at night.
MD said on 7/Jun/07
For me, he'd have to be leaning significantly for him to be 5'9", but I'll ultimately trust Rob's judgement.

Editor Rob
I wouldn't say if I didn't think he was.
MarkMark said on 7/Jun/07
The hat appears to add height. He looks almost exactly the same height as rob, if you remove the hat and account for his slight lean.
G-unit said on 5/Jun/07
I kinda do believe him when he says he is 5'9, but i don't really know. In some way he seems a little, little, little bit shorter than 5'9. Possibly 5'8.5 but rounds up a half of an inch.

He looks like 2 cms taller than rob, ya an easy 5 feet 9 maybe 5 feet 9.5 but thats stretching it....so ya an easy 5 feet 9 for me.....rob has him spot on...good work rob. Hey rob i just read your little into thing up...so what you mean is that he seemed an easy 5 feet 9 to you at night with the same footwear on both of you guys?

Editor Rob
I saw his shoes walking by the autograph thing when his jeans weren't draping over, I thought near 1.2, so barely any difference.

I was near front of queue so was standing there whilst photographer was telling him a few things, so could also guage him against photographer aswell, I believe he'd still measure 5ft 9 late at night, not drop under that mark.
MD said on 4/Jun/07
He certainly looks like the shortest 5'9" I've ever seen. lol Rob, did he appear 5'8", to you?

Editor Rob
the blurb at top, he is losing a little height. He really did look a solid 5ft 9.
Pagey said on 4/Jun/07
Rob was he friendly?

Editor Rob
from folk who talked to him more than me, yes, nobody had a bad word to say. I saw him at his table aswell but I was going up with a girl who wanted his auto, so wasn't going to gobble up any of her time with him, but well spoken guy, seemed unfazed.

Anonymous said on 4/Jun/07
maybe even 5'8.5?
Pete said on 4/Jun/07
He looks 5`9 in shoes (max). Compared to other 5`9ers he looks short.
G-unit said on 4/Jun/07
Rob, it's june now, put up your pic with ian :)

Editor Rob
I hadn't forgot, and as its now June, as promised I'll put it up today
RobertJ said on 22/Apr/07
James had about 2 inches on him in rules of attraction so 5'9'' sounds right.
G-unit said on 21/Apr/07
kinda funny that this guy is 5'9 and still was a model for dolce&gabbana, guess etc.
what the hell said on 13/Apr/07
this guy its 5'8 tops!!
no way he's 5'9 and viper if van der beek its 5'11 wich I dont think he is..ian has to be close 5'6 to 5'7 tops!!

Editor Rob
that's not good news...because that puts me at only 5ft 5-6. I'm certainly not happy about that :)
radio_man said on 4/Apr/07
5'9 in lifts..
rob, I would bet on that lol!! haha
he doens't look 5'9 tome, maybe 5'8 but definetley not 5'9
Viper said on 2/Apr/07
Vanderbeek is 5-11 at his absolute max on an extremely great day.
radio_man said on 2/Apr/07
well if he is 5'9, van der beek must be like 6'2 and I dont think that's right
oit more like 5'7 to to 5'8 and van der beek as 6'0..maybe 6'1
the thing sis the you can believe everything you see on the tv, besides lifts they use a lot of camera flicks to make the actors taller..
ian it's not 5'9 I can bet on that!

Editor Rob
I wouldn't bet a lot, you'd lose
antron said on 26/Mar/07
just watching Law and Order SVU now, he's playing a psychopathic rapist murderer guy...anyhow, definitely not lower than 174cm. In various footwear from converse to work boots and looked average but not under, certainly not 5'7."
radio_man said on 25/Mar/07
I think shannon its like 5'6 tops and 5'8 to 5'8.1/2 in those shoes, so I think Ian its like 172 cm tops and van der beek is correct as a 6'0
nikki said on 18/Mar/07
please post Shannyn Sossamon's height, to compare them two... In rules of attraction she's taller than Ian in those freaky shoes of hers
radio_man said on 22/Feb/07
in rules of attraction when he's changing clothes and he's shoeless, he doesn't seem 5`9, he seees 5`7 maybe 5'8, but there's no way this guy is 5'9 maybe in shoes..!
bombay rocker said on 15/Jan/07
hey why don't you put up your pic with ian..... You said you have a pic with him......put it up and the debate is over.

Editor Rob
will, in June
leyla said on 3/Dec/06
how could you email him? who is his mail?? please tell me.....
Antron said on 16/Nov/06
Men's Fitness article listed him at 5'9." Same height as former Lost co-star Maggie Grace too. Did not ever look as short as 5'7" on Lost.
G-unit said on 8/Nov/06
seems to be a weak 5'9, compare him to jared leto wich I consider as a strong 5'9. Jared is maybe 2cm taller than him, and they both are 5'9. I would say he's 174 and jared is 176. But yeah, we can call them 5'9 :)
Andys said on 1/Aug/06
i would say... 1.74 1.75 for sure not different of this heights
Andys said on 31/Jul/06
exemple: mark wahlberg model of Calvin klein and others 5.8 173-174
martin henderson height vary nice marks 1.73-174
Ian SOmrhalder gucci armani doulce gabanna Calvin klein etc 174-175..
ljungberg player of Arsenal model of Calvin klein 175-176 .. i think this will make a lot of people feel better
AndYs said on 30/Jul/06
to be a photographic model you can be any height...when u have a different face..
that everyboy likes...there's no rules.. so Calvin klein gucci doulce gabanna call him to do works.... face is all that matters...sure if is really good.. now if is just cool..you have to be complete tall and good body etc etc
MD said on 7/May/06
Yeah, I don't think he's far from his claim, either, but the 5'9" seems to be a pretty weak 5'9".
MD said on 6/May/06
For reference, here he is with 5'11"-6'0" James Van Der Beek. You all be the judge at the difference:

1. Click Here

Maybe more like 5'8"?

Editor Rob
I've heard someone who saw him at a convention say 5ft 7!!! But I don't think this guy is far from his claim
sam said on 5/May/06
He seemed to be no less than 5'9" on Lost.
Mr. R said on 24/Feb/06
He is on the cover of one of the mens' health magazines this past month, and he is referred to as 5 foot 9. Of course that really means 5-7 or 5-8 in celeb heights!
BackStageJim said on 23/Feb/06
Not sure, but will find out in March at Sci-Fi convention for LOST!

Editor Rob
you do some crewing at cons? US cons?
brazilian guy said on 14/Feb/06
looks same height as lord of the rings´s guy
172-173 tops
175cm16andgrowing said on 16/Jan/06
Ian can look very good AND has a great posture. He does look 5'6'' - 5'9'' but I guess he's really 5'9''. His weight is 150lbs or something. That's what a Lost Fanbase had somewhen last year. There was a thread about the smokers on Lost and than Ian started chain-smoking again before his character was killed off but also that he worries to gain wheight when he stops, he's 150lbs and just 5'9''.
UNK said on 29/Nov/05
Alright people... you ALL need to get this through your heads!!!! You do not need to be any specific height or weight to be a model, or anything for that matter. It is not the LAW, most fashion designers like models to be tall and thin, but there are many many exception to the rule. What kind of world do you think we live in... will they throw you in jail if you are a model under 6'0"?

You cannot assume a person's height based on their profession.
Hannah said on 28/Nov/05
I also thought you have to be 6 feet tall to be a model not 5'9?
MD said on 17/Oct/05
His email address is right on his website, surprisingly, and he actually answers fans questions.
racheal said on 17/Oct/05
hi. how could you email him? how'd you know his email address? dont celebrities keep these things very secrective?????
Gigy said on 24/Sep/05
He is 5´9! Maggie Grace and he are the same height and she is 5´9 barefoot, so he is 5´9!
MD said on 7/Jul/05
There are always exceptions to the rule. He's obviously one of them.
Patrick from Germany said on 6/Jul/05
How could he be a model if he's only 5'9"?
I always thought you have to be at least 6 feet.In Germany the minimum height for a model is 1,85 metres
MD said on 21/Jun/05
I wrote him an email awhile back and he claimed to be 5'9"
