@Editor Rob, I think I have the proof that Jake's height has been quite overestimated.

HeightMythsBreaker said on 18/Mar/19
I'd go for 5'9.5.
Jake was measured exactly 5'10.5 by Conor O'Brien on TV even though the latter politely rounded up to 5'11. The problem is that the measuring tape was already severely bended.
He stands slightly shorter than his girlfriend Jeanne Cadieu who is 5'10 (178cm).

Rob in the past you've said in regards to Jake's height that "I think arguing more than 181 is hard." and "Standing tall I can't see this man under 5ft 11." If that is that case would you say that the 5'11-5'11.25 range is suitable for him? I personally think that he's 5'11 minimum and 181cm max.
Editor Rob
Measuring 5ft 11.5 at 10am isn't out of the question or very close, but he might fall down to 181 by afternoon - that's what I'd go with.
viper said on 3/Mar/19
5-10 at best

A weak 5'11 or strong 5'10.
Anything below 5'10 is laughable... can't take those comments seriously.

@amysticalspork
That's the tallest looking weak 5'10 that I've seen. He's not that short. He's definitely taller than that. Look at his proportions. He's easily a 5'11 guy.

Let us all do our maths.
Logan Barringer said on 25/Dec/18
@Rob he actually got measured on Conan and your site was mentioned. Barefoot and with his comb backed hair he was around 6'0". However the measuring was a little poor. I think without the hair they said hed be around 5'11". Based on the poor measuring 5'11" would be his max bare foot and bald. 5'10" would be minimum and that would be going to bed. I'd go with 5'10" 1/2. About as average sized as a gut can get.
avery_t said on 2/Nov/18
I'm pretty sure I just passed him in TriBeCa. He was wearing sunglasses. If that was him,
he's 5' 10" at 4PM. I'm 5' 7" on a good day, and he wasn't 4 inches taller than I am. He was three inches taller.
Shawnee said on 22/Oct/18
Are all these listings on this site w/o shoes? Or with shoes on?

For any listing, it should be assumed without shoes on.
Kev said on 12/Oct/18
5'10 and a half. But I still think he's 5'11
Tomwash3r3 said on 11/Oct/18
@Avradeep Sarkar To be fair, the tape measure was closer to the camera, so the tape measure in front of the camera is going to read below his actual height. While I'm convinced he is below 5'11, I doubt that it is by any more than a full inch. Try measuring your own height then try to measure your height by putting a tape measure in front of you in front of a mirror. I tried it myself and the tape measure did read me to be shorter than my actual height when I put it in fron of a mirror, so I'm sure he's definitely above 5'10. I just doubt he's at least 5'11.
Tomwash3r3 said on 11/Oct/18
@Editor Rob , I really think you should down grade Jake to below 5'11, just 5'11, or at least to something below 5'11 1/4. Here he is with Ryan Reynalds whom you listed at a weak 6'2,
Click Here and I fail to see how it is less than 3 inches between them, and they both appear to be wearing similar footwear. Even though the tape measure read less then even 5'10, when Conan measured him, I'm sure he is definitely over 5'10, considering the tape measure was closer to the camera, but I'm really not seeing anything above 5'11 in that picture. So what do you think Rob? Or do you think that Ryan needs an upgrade? One or the other, because there is no way the difference in height is less than 3 inches.
Editor Rob
From all I've seen of them about 3 inches difference looks more likely than say 3.5-4 range.

He's obviously in 5'11 range. people should prob stop being so insecure on this site
Rick1 said on 19/Aug/18
So he was measured live on TV (And i would say he was measured quite badly/hastily as the tape was away from him so it might of been more if it was closer) as 5'11 and people are saying he is not even 5'10....
He gets 5'11.25 so this is correct.
Lynx said on 15/Aug/18
Tom Hardy is 5'9 , he clearly has 2 inches over him and probably a little bit more, and Tom is a strong 5'9, so no way Jake is under 5'11 lol.

@Junior: 6’3 7/8 is far too high for Conan. That would make him look an honest 6’4” which he never does. Hence why he inflates so many people like Selleck Neeson Klitschko etc. 6’4/6’4.5 is in shoes which would make him 6’3-6’3.5 barefoot
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 8/Jul/18
@Lawson Jake is not 6" shorter than Conan. That clip look at most 5" and Conan is not over 6'4 most probably 6'3 7/8 figure at his low. Jake is 5'11-5'11 1/4.

Leno179 said on 12/Jun/18
It is impossible for this guy to be anywhere below 5'11, anyone calling him short or below average is crazy, even 5'10 is far for true. Jake is a legit tallish guy, with a above average height at 5'11.5 inches, not a giant, but a good sized dude.
Bane said on 10/Jun/18
Anything below a strong 5'11" is BS. I'm sure his 5'11.5" claim was honest and he probably wakes up just a tad over 6 foot
Arun said on 22/May/18
Anywhere between 5'9.5" and 5'10.25"... I don't see him ever being any more than that...
Seen him in so many films... Always looks 5'10"... Watching nocturnal animals now and in the scenes with Aaron Taylor Johnson, Jake looks shorter than him...
JoeJoe said on 18/May/18
I’ve met the guy. He was wearing thick Nike air style sneakers. He has a huge head but a sort of teenager body. Looked nothing over 178 to me. I was actually shocked at how short he was compared to what I thought he would be. I’m 185 and felt like I towered him which is rarely the case when I meet legit 5’11 guys
Joah said on 13/May/18
Good actor but sorry hes not tall dont buy any more than 510.5.
He rarely looks over average taking into account all the sub 510 actors.
He likely never sees 511 without hair even in am.

BTW, what do u think his head size is?
Most of the people say that he has a huge head, even Jake himself admitted that he has a huge head in one of his interviews lol.
I reckon close to 10 inches.
Editor Rob
I think 9.5 range is possible, but I'm not so sure about 10, I don't think he has a 5-inch eyelevel.

Jake's characters from Enemy(2013) has "183cm" in his Bio.

Seems like Jake undoubtedly knows that, but the 160lbs is optimistic tho.
What's your thought on this Rob?
Editor Rob
I think arguing more than 181 is hard...but since he did admit 5ft 11.5, I'm sure he got measured one time around that, maybe it was 10am at the Doctor's.

That's just an insult to real 5'11er's. If you saw my photos, there's way more than a .5 inch difference between him and Gosling. Time for you to get some new glasses buddy.

@Greg
He had a lose posture when Conan measured him.
He was measured at 70.5 inches which is 5'10.5" but you just see his feet were spread,he wasn't in the military posture.
If he would have stood straight,he would have been a bit over 71 inches which means a bit over 5'11".
He is 5'11¾" out of bed and at an average I'll say he's 5'11.5" for sure.
GARY said on 28/Dec/17

rofl said on 27/Dec/17
he's 5'11. A good height for an actor. We all want a 6'1/6'2 guy playing Batman, but Jake is the best actor considered for the role.
Faza said on 27/Dec/17
Depends maybe some people wont care enough to even know morning and afternoon height differs some people could easily claim 1 inch taller but not be telling a lie some lie of course but the fact that jake was willing to be measured on tv tells me he really thought he was 6ft
Canson said on 26/Dec/17
@Bobby: I think you get disoriented when it comes to height. If you are 6’0” out of bed you won’t be 5’11.5 midday. You lose half inch in usually 2-3 no more than maybe 4 hours.
Guest66 said on 25/Dec/17
@Bobby, Calling your morning height is not exactly honest though, even if he wakes up at 6ft he is not walking around throughout the day at 6ft. It’s almost like calling your height in shoes.
Anonymous said on 23/Dec/17
rob he was shorter then 181cm paxotn so jake got to be 179cm
Bobby said on 21/Dec/17
With a listing of 5'11.25, he'd wake up at exactly 6ft tall, or even a hair over. So, he wasn't being dishonest when he said he was 6ft tall. 5'11.5 is possibly a midday measurement, and I can see that for him.
Editor Rob
I'm sure if Jake busted a gut he'd clear 5ft 11, if he raised his eyelevel up an inch and measured himself out of bed, may even be surprised with a 6ft and 1/8th measurement.
Grit said on 19/Dec/17
He is a strong 5'11", I don't believe anything below that

Jake should be cut a little slack...performances nerves account for about 1cm difference, I'm sure he wakes up at almost 6 feet.
Opie said on 17/Dec/17
Hey Rob, I can wake up at 5'11 1/2 but at night I can sink as low as 5'10 7/8. I feel like Jake is the same way.
BTW, If I were a celebrity, what do you suppose my average listing would be based on that info?
Editor Rob
5ft 11 maybe, but then it depends on what you looked with others...
you have to watch actors being sneaky at times claiming very specific figures, but it's like a double bluff or a shoe height.
Guest66 said on 12/Dec/17
Nah, a legit Batman can’t be only 5’11, let alone anything shorter. Batman is a big guy, Bale had hard times playing one as everyone around him was either same size with him or bigger. Affleck has the size but no charisma of Batman imo.

SD-5'8(172CM), what about RDJ and Tom Hardy? Tony Stark is 6'1 225lbs in the comics. However, his on-paper imposing figure was never mentioned or highlighted in the comics so physique for playing his part is not so high on the priority list. For playing Bane, however, it is.
And I never found Hardy's portrayal of Bane convincing. The more the time passes I found it funnier (especially that voice).
Come on,seriously, a friend of mine is 5'9 200 lbs and I never considered him big . And I live in a country where people are on average 2 inches taller than in the US. People would be laughing at Hardy in a Bane costume walking down my city. Let alone in Split where every third guy is over 190 cms&100 kg.
Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson is the living embodiment of comic-book Bane and he's got solid acting skills. He should play him if DCEU survives long enough.
SD-5'8(172CM) said on 1/Dec/17
As a comic book fan,I have a policy for playing BATMAN(Bruce Wayne) or Superman(Clark Kent)...a white guy whose 6'0 or taller has dark hair and a square jaw...Jake fits the bill but if he was 2 inches taller he'd fit the bill perfectly...Ever since 2011(New 52)Batman has gotten leaner and to a certain degree shorter in the comic books and some of the animated films
Click Here cause there was a time he was WWE superstar BIG!!!However he's gotten bigger and more muscular on the silver screen.
Jake would be perfect as Dick Grayson being Batman...

He was a very muscular stocky build so he can come off as 5’9-5’10 but thats no where near his actually height. I’d say 180-181 at worst. Probably 181-182. He’s DEFINITELY taller than Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon who both look 180. He looks what he claims

Rumor has it that he will be the new Batman.
I am probably the only guy who is angry because for the umpteenth time Batman will be played by a small guy.

Solid 5'11, he looked tall on Zodiac, so I thought, no way this guy measures in the strong 5'10 category, he gave a taller impression than that. A chance of being 5'11.5 midday.
Animus said on 21/Nov/17
He can definitely look 5'11½ on occassion. With poor posture he can look barely 5'11. Like DiCaprio he he can look anywhere from a weak 180cm to a weak 182cm. 181cm is a good listing for Gyllenhaal.

If u watch him being measured on Conan u can plainly see Conan added height. If u pause the footage Jake is clearly 5’9 3/4 in socks. So fairly average height.
Tamberlain said on 16/Nov/17
Can't really give him over 5'10.5".
In premiere photos with Anne Hathaway, he consistently looks 2" taller. Which is 3.5" taller, accounting for footwear differences.
Hathaway's 5'7", so, do the math.
Klapperschlangensindgeil21 said on 12/Nov/17
I definitely think he could hit very close to 6 ft. in the morning if he stood straight. On Conan he was measured late at night without even standing straight at all and he still hit 5 ft. 11 in. bang on, and yes, he was barefoot.

@Allan and @Anonymous
Why would you make assumptions on a picture of him by himself? I'd understand if you were making a broad generalization but 5'10 vs. 5'11? You can't tell that kind of difference on a picture of a guy by himself. Waaay too many variables can make a guy look taller/shorter, notably his proportions and the angle of the shot. I've seen guys "look 5'10" in pictures and when they were actually stocky 6'1 guys. Guys with small faces relative to their frame and/or longer legs will look taller.
Allan said on 13/Oct/17
@Joe Joe.Yeah, honestly I don't see him being 5ft11 on this picture either. He looks more like in the (strong)5ft10 range to me. A 5ft11 guy in dress shoes should look taller than he currently looks here IMO.

I assume his appearance on Conan was at night? Like 7-8 or 9 pm? So probably like 11-12 hours into his day, assuming he woke up at like 7-8-9 in the morning.
So his height on Conan was most likely his absolute lowest. Anyways, a measurement with your eyes and tape measure ontop of that is awful and very inaccurate. Probably touches 181.5cm or so 7 hours into his day.

Solid 179cm. Can claim 5'11, no more than that.

He is 182 regular, 183 morning and high 181 at night.
Bugsy said on 4/Jul/17
Never looked that tall to me. Substantially under 6 ft. After seeing that Conan video I'd say 5'10.5.
Two more things you find out from that video: a) Conan is not 6'4". Even if Gyllenhaal was that full 5'11", there's not a 5 inch difference between them, especially considering Jake was not wearing shoes and Conan was. b) Andy Richter is the same height as Gyllenhaal. So they are both below 6 ft.
lol said on 29/Jun/17
i recall early on in his career he was written as 6'2 and for so many years as 6 feet. He looks 5'11. I'm gonna go with that. 179 at the smallest with 181 at the most. perfect 180

According Conor's video 5'10.5".
LM said on 20/Jun/17
I guess this is a nice image to figure that he's at least 1.80 m. I think that his figure works against him in this matter. Whilst leaner bodies tend to look taller, his more 'buffed' wide torso makes him look shorter. Before Conan I though he was shorter, like a 1.75-178 range.

@5ft10guy said on 18/Apr/17
That was not an atual measurement and that is many camera tricks, shaky going on. If you take another look he can even look 5'9.5 to 5'11 range and if they really given a real measurement they would have bring out a stadiometer and use a flat plate push down his hair to prove the world jake is 5'11.5 as he claim but sorry that he look nothing near it. At most 5'10.5 or even 5'10 flat would be his true barefoot height and if you're real 5'10 guy you should know how a 5'10 apear to look. Jake is too short looking for 5'11.25 thus beside his buff hair and he is wear thick socks in that clip some thick socks can boost near a fraction cm.
Canson said on 20/Apr/17

Canson- 6'4 is 193 centimeters.
6'5 is 195.5 cm.
------
Canson never said that 195 was 6'4". He was saying that Conan's 193-194 in shoes not 195, implying that he's 191 barefoot, not as tall as barefoot legit 6'4" guys. I'm sure Canson knows how to convert, since he often tells people his height in both ft/in and cm.

-----------------
Good find. I have images standing next to 5'8 family members and the difference is definitely not as great as between Ryan and Jake. There is 4-4.5" difference between them and blows a 5'11 listing for Jake out of the water (Assuming Ryan is 6'2).

Denzel look aleast 0,75 in taller than wath gyllenhaal looks with Ryan 188cm also Jake has 1cm more shoes than Denzel easy so that means Denzel at 182cm solid could bé 3cm over Jake so i think Jake IS à solid 5 FT 11 but nothing more liké 180,3-180,5cm 181cm 11am and wakes at 6 ft , in person WE were were eye to eye but so can all any 5 FT 11-6ft

As Low as 5'10 I cant see Its possible he could be a flat 5'11 though
Don't know what to claim(5'11) said on 20/Mar/17
It's kind of easy to know his height from the Conan video. At around 3:17, the camera switched from Conan holding 5'11 on the tape measure, to a front facing shot where the tape measure is at least 1" above Jake's head. I will give him 5'9.75" as a conservative height and 5'10.25" as a liberal estimate.
rofl said on 19/Mar/17

Jake Gyllenhaal & Maggie Gyllenhaal kinda remind me of my younger sister and I.I'm 173cm (5'8)while my sister is 168(5'6.75),but she could appear taller due to the fact she has more variety as far as footwear and hairstyles go!!!
Jake is more conventionally attractive he's not too tall more of tallish (5'11/181cm)as far as male height goes and when he's clean shaven and lean he can pass for a younger character.When he grows some facial hair and adds a few pounds of muscle...INSTANT SUPERHERO/LEADING MAN OR ACTION STAR!!1
berta said on 14/Feb/17
i think a guy like dicaprio is 1 cm taller than gyllenhall.i think he could be barely 181 ore maybe just litel over 180. but 181 is fair. but that is max what he is
grizz said on 13/Feb/17
I don't care about that ridiculous Conan measurement.
Watching him in Southpaw, he was roughly one inch shorter than 5'11.75 50 Cent. 5'11 guy, nothing more.
Giorgi said on 12/Feb/17
Check out Nightcrawler. His character has poor posture but still seems quite considerably shorter than Paxton in every scene together.
James said on 6/Feb/17
@Guest66
Click Here
Conan didn't crush Gyllenhall's hair. His hair wasn't completely flat, that big hair gave him a great advantadge of 2 cm. He didn't look as tall as 5' 11" by any means. He looks 5' 9.5" but has his legs widely open losing some height. So he is 5' 10" at night and 5'11" in the morning.
He could be listed as both 5' 10" (night height) or 5' 10.5" (afternoon height). 5' 10.5" would be a good listing I think.
Guest66 said on 4/Feb/17
That Conan measurement video is deceiving, as the camera's angles and position of the tape give the false image. Rob himself made a video where he stood next to tape that way and looked almost under 5'7" while he is a strong 5'8". So yeah it did not solve the "mystery", but obviously Jake is very close to that 5'11" mark, could be a fraction over or under it. Maybe ultimately just a 5'11" can be the best shout.
Peter 179cm said on 1/Feb/17
In that video he seemed to be somewhere between 5'10-5'10.5 but the tape seemed closer to the camera...?If that's the case then he's definitely 180cm but more like 5'11 MAX.Maybe 5'10.75 seems a good shout after all and definitely not anything under it.
Eugene Jericho said on 30/Jan/17
On Conan he wasn't a full 71 inches. Which is 5'11". If he would've stood as straight as possible, he could be AROUND 5'10 1/4" MAX! Which in certain shoes he can pull off looking 6ft. 5'10 1/4" isn't short, but not tall either.
Giorgi said on 29/Jan/17
All jokes aside, just look at this picture, Rob.
Click Here
Here he's slightly over 5'10" but since he was standing with legs a bit apart and wasn't stretched out, he must be 5'11" flat max. He is an honest 5'10.8" guy or simply 5'11"/180 cm. I'm far from some crazy downgrades that many comments suggest but I think his measurement on Conan is a valid evidence that he's a about 1/3 inch under 5'11.25".
Giorgi said on 28/Jan/17
@Joe
Socks and hair don't make any difference.
Joe said on 27/Jan/17
Conan gave him a generous 5'11" measurement in sox. In reality I think he's just under that mark... probably 5'10 3/4 or a little less.

I feel people won't relax over here untill he's downgraded to 5'6".

The only time he seemed tall to me is in prisoners next to Jackman he can pass for 5'11.25" only in this movie but generally I'd say he's around 5'10.75"

5'10 1/2 at the lowest. 5'11 for sure IMO

Just saw him on Conan and he actually measured at 5'10" barefoot. With shoes 5'11". Rob watch the video.
James said on 7/Jan/17
@Keith. Correct, in the video without taking under consideration the hair, he looks 1.77 but he has his legs widely open losing at least 1 cm. So he is 1.78 at night and 1.80 in the morning. I think he should be downgraded to just 1.79.
I also remember his role in Prince of Persia and looked nowhere near 6 ft. In fact, he looked almost short, ridicolous height for a Prince of Persia. They should have chosen another taller actor.

Seems a pretty honest guy in general he said 6ft and then 5ft11.5 so not much out, He could have measured 6ft in shoes or thought he was 5ft11.5 and rounded up and the fact he agreed to let Conan get a tape measure out suggests he doesn't care much about it and is not telling a lie about his height like most celebs do some of you guys really believe most of these other celebs would agree to get somewhat measured on a show.
This estimate is pretty fair, His Low might be 180-181 no lower than a legit 5ft11, 5ft9 range is a joke
the average short said on 13/Dec/16
This guy is 5'9, just look at the tape measure, take off that hair and he's be 5'9 tops. He looks too short to be 5'11.
Friop said on 10/Dec/16
So 179-180cm mid day is most likely his height
Guest66 said on 8/Dec/16
Jordan87, Completely agree with you. And then again I think that the reason why he looked not much under Ledger on some pictures is because Ledger could have been just 6'0" flat.
Jordan87 said on 5/Dec/16
Curry has him by around 3.5". Curry 6'2, Gyllenhaal 5'10.5 by that Logic.
Jackman would be 3" taller than Jake if he wasn't leaning in. Jake 5'10.5, would more or Less make Ledger 6'0.5. Although Jake looks taller in some photos with Heath than Others.

I think both under a stadiometer would go over 5ft 11, always a chance Leo would have him by the thickness of a tiny fraction.
Johan said on 20/Oct/16
If Conan is even 6'3.5" as many think on his page then he would be 6'4.5" there in shoes next to barefoot Jake. So with his low eyelevel it might be around 5'11.5" there. So he is perfect there for judging his height. With his hair he even thought 6' was possible. I just can't see him being under 5'11".
mjkzero said on 18/Oct/16
Hey rob if you pause at 3:15 the measuring tape shows Jake to be roughly 5ft10 is this just the camera angle or does jake need a downgrade
Click Here
Editor Rob
even with the tape being nearer the camera he still is above
5ft 10.
I believe since the tape is nearer and lower than the top of his head it's a certainty he is over 178cm. How much is debatable. Personally I think when measured he will clear 5ft 11 on the stadiometer.

1.80 morning barefoot height. Strong barefoot 1.79 the rest of the day. In custom shoes can reach 1.82. In sneakers 1.83 is possible. I really think so. ;))) might be wrong.
Judd said on 9/Sep/16
Rob actually i think the Conan O'Brien measurement isn't a reliable measurements. Maybe the posture of jake wasn't the best but the "stadiometer" used by Conan wasn't perfect straight...I would say it's not a good measurement of course
Editor Rob
If they wanted it to be final, maybe a stadiometer would have been used....I think a tape measure was used because it wasn't meant to be such a final nail in the question, because there is room for error and discussion on the matter.
mike said on 5/Sep/16
5'11.25 is possibly his exact height if you consider every variable.

180cm, no more.
Jordan87 said on 10/Aug/16
He was Measured at only 5'10 on Conan in front of Live Audience in his Socks. Rob you should downgrade him. He was 5'10.
Editor Rob
Conan's eyelevel is around the top of Jake's head and he thought about 5ft 11.
This still shows him over 5ft 10 surely - That line is just over 5ft 11 as he stopped the tape at near 181cm.
The tape is still in front of his shoulder so it's closer to the camera than the top of Jake's head.
Take a little fraction from the tape for not perfectly straight but add a fraction on for the tape being closer to the camera than top of Jake's head.
Then ask him to stand at his tallest...I'd be surprised if he wasn't a little over 5ft 11 when properly measured.
I
could appear at barely 169cm due to perspective, so it is easy to lose height in photos, when
I'm a comfortable 173cm...
