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
Peyman(182.3cm-184.2cm) said on 14/Feb/12
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

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.

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.

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.

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.
Joe Hastings said on 16/Jul/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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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'' ?

solid 5ft 9 yes.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 HereMaybe 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"
