i believe he is 5 ft 11.5. reason for this is when he was on Conan being measured his height was measured incorrectly with the tape measure upright beside him.Thats a big no when measuring your height. You will always be almost 2 inches shorter when measured that way. Its not your true height. And the fact Jake was measured by Conan in the late afternoon 4pm so he would of shrank though out the day. Now many say he is 5 ft 9.5 to 5 ft 10. Now the tpe measure to the human eye said he was 5 ft 10 even but the tape was also bent a little and his back wasn't measured to the wall. Your back MUST be measured back to the wall for the best accurate measurement. The highest point on the head is to the back.Even when you get a can of spray and put it on your head facing the wall the can is not entirely covering your head its only covering half way.and your measurement will be shorter as much as 1 inch to and 1 1'2 inches. When you stand against the wall like doctors tell you to do your body is not free standing where we tend to slouch , slouch forward which gives the impression we are shorter. With the back to the wall and head back straight arms flat to the side and breath in and hold your breath you will get your true measurement.The back is straight neck is straight. legs locked straight. Even when you stand back to the wall and your legs are bent a little it will effect your height. Always stand straight like a board.You will find your height is 1.5 to 2.0 inches taller than how it was with a tape measure to your side.

Conan show showed he's around 5'10" but the problem was that his feet weren't together. Go back and look. If his feet were together we're talking at least another 1". I'd put him at 5'11ish.

Editor Rob we can't draw a straight line because the top of his head is further away than the tape measure.
If that was true, he has a 4 inch eyelevel and I think most would agree he doesn't have a high eyelevel.

If he's really in the 180.5 - 181 cm range at night then he's pretty much identical to me. It's always kind of interesting to see photos of celebs very close in height to me (or at least in my height range) so I can sort of see how I might appear to other people.
Also, on a side note I've seen some of his films recently and he's a very good actor. Really enjoyed the movies I've seen him in.

He looks 5 ft 10.5 in. But it was a night measurement, therefore he is 5 ft 11 in.

He's most likely around a strong 5'10 at evening/night. With Conan he stood upright. He didn't overdo it, but you gain only mm doing that anyway. Measured about 5'10.5. Conan gave him 5'11 which is a bit of a strech but still ok. imho. Wakes up at 5'11, maybe a few mm's more.

He looked exact 5'11 when Conan measured him, not 180cm, but closer to 181cm, i'm not gonna lie, i thought he was 178cm until i saw him measured, i have to say, 180-181cm is really what he is, an honest guy!

Jake's real height is not what was listed on the Conan O' Brien show. Conan O' Brien show is filmed in the late afternoon 4pm. People shrink almost an nch throughout the day. Now he was measured incorrectly with the tape measure to the side. Even if the tape measure to the side shows he is 5' 10.5 does not mean he was that height on the show. Its an optical illusion. The proper and most accurate way to measure is back to the wall. Hands to your side feet together head straight neck straight. He n the morning is most likely 5' 11.5 closer to 6'. Never ever take a tape measure and measure your height with the tape beside you. Although it may appear the tape measure is higher than your head it is in fact level.

Does this site give morning heights??? I thought is was like midday height, the height that you go to lunch with - like the average height of each individuals own specific height....
Jake...I'm afraid he was 5'10 during the show, 5'10.5 max. So 181 should be very close to his morning height.

This guy is 5'9.5". I don't understand how he's still listed at 180+ after that Conan measurement. He's clearly sub 5'11", even 5'10" is pushing it IMO, it's the absolute MAX he could be.

In that clip, the mark was at 5'11and in the distance shot, despite the swaying and twisting of the metal meaure, jake looked 0.5-0.75 inches under this mark in an casual stance however, since the measure was not dead straight and was twisted this will compensate for his casual stance. When i judged earlier at 5'10.75 that was due to my belief the measure mark was on 5'11.3 and did not consider that Jake's head was slightly tilted up nor did consider the twist and sway of the metal measure strip thus, Conan got a bit wrong when he stated 5'11.
5'10.25 [lower end of 5'10]

From that video I saw him being exactly 5'11"(180.5cm), I used his eyebrows as a line to create a parallel line from his top of the head to the tape. The tape seemed to be slightly bend,but he wasn't holding the best posture so I believe the 2 can cancel each other out. The Conan's show is usually filmed around 4:30-5:30 pm, so very close to the minimum height by then. I believe Jake is 182cm in the morning and that he goes to no less than 180cm at night. Anything below 179cm(5'10.5") is just plain ridiculous, and he was willing to get measured, which only further proves that he hit the mark or close to it at the doctor's office in the morning. Great actor, I loved him in Donnie Darko. Do you agree with my measurement Rob?

On second thoughts, i see him around 5'10.75. I have seen Jake from a multitude of shots and angles in that Conan video and his head would be around 0.75 inches below 5'11.3 summit.
I can see why he stated his height as 5'11.5, i reckon he could easily measure that on his doctor's stadiometer in the morning.

After watching the conan video it seems that he measures at 5'9.5. It could be the camera angle that makes it look that way but thats what I saw. He does have the build of a 5'10 guy though. He could actually be 5'11.25 though he just appears more of a 5'10 guy, 5'9 very minimum.

The Conan measurement wasn't exactly what we could call "accurate" but he definitely seemed under 5'11'' there, probably 5'10.5'' at most.
At least, he must feel secure enough with his height to be measured on TV like this. And he is a good actor too.

He was measured at 5'10 exactly. 5'11 is laughable when he looks 5'9 range on screen.

Right on. I think 181 cm is the best listing. He's one of the only guys on here we've ever seen agree to be measured on national TV. 5'11.25" is a good listing.

Solid 5'11. Taller than 5'9 range Taylor Swift, and taller than Anne Hathaway in shoes that I assume would give around 4-4.75 inches. I think the least you could argue is 179 but that may be starting to push it.

He doesn't look any taller than 5'11 with 5'7 michael pena and even some picture he look 5'10ish with pena. I'll go for the taller impression that he was 5'11 and 5'11.5 more like few minutes after out of bed in the morning

I think this is reasonable for him, he must have genuinely believed he was about 5'11.5" to get measured. Conan's on pretty late aint it? He could probably wake up near 6'0".

After seeing Conan's video, we can rule out 5'9'' range or even 5'10'' flat for him. I still disagree with Rob, in the video it suggest that he is somwhere between 5'10.5'' and 5'11''. 181cm is the max I can see him. His 5'11.5'' claim is fair though, he could be that in the morning and deeps under 5'11'' at night.

Sorry but I'm calling BS on that Conan measurement. Just look at the way they "measured" him, they probably overmeasured him by a good 2 inches doing it like that.
Call me a downgrader, but I'm sticking with my 5'9.5" estimate for this dude, a legit 176cm guy. No way 5'11" range.

In that video it looks like he's 5'11. but his way of measuring isnt truly accurate, plus his hair, ande he was defintely shorter than 5'11 Paxton in Nightcrawler(who i'm pretty sure is 5'11 as he lookd no more than an inch taller than 5'10 Billy Bob). 5'10.5 is my best estimate.

What's with all the debate here? Jake said he was 5'11.5" and was willing to go on a talk show in socks and be measured. Watching the video he was also clearly surprised to be called 5'11" and was quick to point out his hair is adding height when Conan said 6'0".
He is an intelligent person, and anybody lying wouldn't subject themselves to being measured. All this nonsense about being less than 5'11" makes me question people's critical reasoning. I'd say he's spot on 5.11 1/2" when measured at a doctor's office in the morning.

Here you go, 5'9.5 at night, solid 5'10-5'10.25 in the morning, 5'11 in casual/running shoes, sub 6' in discreet lifts... Has a good frame forming a prominent V, thick upper body, well proportioned lower body, hips not too wide, etc.
Jared leto is a weak 5'9, and MM is a low to mid 5'10 (compare with Damon and also with Leto in Dallas Buyers club)
IF we're assuming the listed height should be bare feet then this is the most accurate estimation you can find about jake.
Then, looking at the shot from the Conan video:
Click Here
It's clear from these captures that he is between 5'9 and 5'11, it's hard to pin exactly where though.
I met him in LA two years ago at the Griffith Observatory and he is a solid 5'10 in his running shoes, I am 5'10 in casual shoes and standing level with him my eyes were pretty much matched up with his.
If you want to satisfy some personal ego praise you have for him, then I guess keep the listing where it's at- after all it is your site, but there should be a better more accurate resource for measuring celebrity heights if this is the case.

@ the shredder... That's interesting, I went for my yearly check up last October and they weighed me at 210lbs (i'm a weight lifter i always feel i have to explain that haha) and then measured me. The nurse said I measured 5'6.5, now i've measured my self with a book against the wall several times at 5'7.75 in the evening and 5'7.5 at night (I wake up at a hair over 5'8), and even had my friend measure me and he measured 5'7.5 and this is the most accurate way of measuring height. The tool they used was like a ruler on the wall but like 6 inches off the ground.

No, the listing before is better, I dont think Jake dips below 181 cm at all, remember Conan´s eyelevel isn´t high enough to read it accurately. And plus the tape is closer to the camera than Jake. Jake was just joking when he said "the hair, the hair". Because his hair isn´t adding anything at all slicked back like that, but Conan took it into account.

I honestly believe that at some point in his life, he was measured 5'11 1/2. Most likely at an physical at the doctors, Like if I was listed on here I would be 5'9" but at sports physicals I've been measured at 5'9 1/2 twice at the same place from I remembered they both been after an long day at school and it would take 30 minutes to drive there, though I've been measured at 5'9 countless times, and even 5'9 1/4 all of them around the same time and same amount of time I've been awake.

After watching Rob's YouTube video on this I believe Jake is 5'11..either way 70 or 71 inches is still tall. The only movie I thought he looked shorter in was southpaw which I would guess he was 5'9. Maybe it had a taller cast of actors. Some actors can appear tall even with a taller cast though. Kit Harington is only 5'7ish and always appears tall on GOT even against a tall cast. Also 5'10 Thomas jane looks tall no matter what movie he's in. (Rob, do you have any guess why some actors like Kit and Tom can appear taller?)

It sounds like you aren't 5'10" and more like 5'8"-5'9", watch the video closely Jake Gyllenhaal puts his hand on his head to hold down his hair and his hand doesn't even touch the 70 inch mark of the tape measure, the top of his head is in between 68 and 69 inches.
How is he still listed 5'11".25?

Would be great if Gyllenhaal would unseat Bieber as top page if only for a week, the latter is kinda a joke IMO...as for Conan measuring more debated celeb statures such as Sly, Arnold, Cruise or Pitt, I doubt their publicists would ever allow that.

Editor Rob he did, check the last week Top 50...I mean usually Bieber is hard to beat in that chart but Jake absolutely TROUNCED him...
you might need to ask them to take socks off, as lifts in socks is something you wouldn't rule out...even I thought 'Big G' walked funny the second time I seen him, kind of like a Penguin....

The way he looked next to Ryan Gosling is consistent with Gyllenhaal being 5'11.25", a bit more than an inch shorter.

It's funny that only a quarter-inch comes back off, when he's probably not even a full 5'11". lol He should have never been at 5'11.5" in the first place, so taking off a quarter-inch doesn't do anything.

All these insecure guys who are trying to put him down make me laugh. Jake actually looks every inch of his 5ft 11.5 claim, I'm a genuine 5' 10" myself and I know what I look like in pics and videos so I know for a fact that he's taller than me because I NEVER look as tall as he does. Not even when I'm wearing my classic Timberland boots which are supposed to give you a bit of height boost being slightly chunkier than most boots I've tried.
Anything under 5ft 11 is totally absurd for him.
Case closed.

I think Conan saw that Jake clearly wasn't 5' 11.5" or even 5' 11", but he just wanted to be nice. At best, Jake is 5' 10", but of course being surrounded by so many people who lie about their heights, he's convinced himself that he's taller and naturally will look taller too because so many in Hollywood are 2-3" shorter than what they claim to be. This is why you often hear, "So and so isn't as tall as I thought he/she was!"

Rob, even consider every perspective from the measurement it is pretty clear now that Jake is 178-9cm guy. Click Here this shot doesn't prove anything much, as the camera level is lower than top of his head, so it creates an illusion that his head is touching end of a tape. Click Here 5'10.25-0.5" without hair. Awesome dude btw, has very nice character.

Editor Rob you posted a still which actually reinforces he is in 5ft 11 range because his eyes are above 5ft 6 against that tape, and the tape is still in front...
he doesn't have a short eyelevel, the average for a 5ft 11 man is a little more than the average, so roughly 4.7 range.
plus a little more when properly measured, you can see why I'd go with 181 range.

He would probably measure a little higher than 5'11" on a stadiometer. The tape measure would undercut it a little as it can't measure the highest point of your head.
5'11.25 could be it.

Editor Rob for me, I can't believe he'd measure 179 range, it doesn't add up from what even Conan saw, he had a pretty good perspective being 6ft 5 in shoes there so his eyes were in a better position than the camera.

If Conan really wanted to pull out an actor whose height creates heated discussion, Jake is one of least important guys for that matter.
I dare you to measure (using stadiometer, not this silly tape measure thingy) Arnold Schwarzenegger or Taylor Swift - Arnold lost a lot, yet claims height at his prime while Taylor realistically adds 2 inches.
I think 5ft11.25in is fine for Jake.

Well, Rob, in your picture you can see that the tape isn't even standing perfectly vertical so the top of it is probably closer to 180 than 181, if anything... And that's around his hair level, so his head is probably at least one centimeter under that, which means 179 is not impossible... Unfortunately, that clip really did not solve anything! Why not give him 5'11 flat?

A quarter inch i agree but a half inch is noticeable if you are close in height to someone. For instance if Jake was to stand next to a Mads MIkkelsen you would notice.

I took a look at Conan's measurements, he looked exactly 5'10. Which is not short! But almost exactly 70 inches. I don't know how Conan got the extra 1.5 inches. I am exactly 69 inches and my eye level is 65. Jakes eye level was exactly 66 inches to the tape measure with upright posture. It's great that be did this, I think he claimed his height with 1.5 inch shoes which would make him .5 shy of 6 foot.

He was measured at 5'11 but with his hair. You don't count hair when you say your exact height. If you watch closely to when he placed his hand on top of his head to flatten his hair, you count from the bottom of the fingers not the top and he is clearly either 5'10 flat or in the 5'10 range. He needs a downgrade Rob.

Saw Conan last night when he pulled out the tape measure. It looked like 5ft 9 1/2-5ft10 tops. The man has a lot of hair. Conan said 5ft 11 but it was easy to see that's not the correct measurement. Press the hair down and he was in the 5'9"-5'10" range.

I wouldn't be surprised with the 181cm mark if he measured on a stadiometer, that could be the fairest mark to put him back on. Here is a still Here, at least now we know the very top of that tape was 5ft 11.25ish...of course standing under a stadiometer many can stand a fraction taller.
catch Jake when he's about to eat his Porridge and you might find him closer to 6ft...and 5ft 11 when he's tucking himself in, and 5ft 11.5 when having brunch...

Rob, now that you have solid proof that Bill Paxton is 5' 11.5', I think Gyllenhaal needs an urgent downgrade. I just saw NIGHTCRAWLER, in which both actors share several scenes. Gyllenhaal looks like 1 1/2 or even 2 inches shorter than Paxton all the time. Take a close look at the following pics and judge by yoursef:

Even if Paxton had some shoe advantage in all those images, it is IMPOSSIBLE that both are the same height. Gyllenhaal does never look any taller than 5' 10.5'' (around 5' 11'', as Conan O'Brien said).

Rob, these 5'10" estimates started to appear quite often now, can you personally see him measured as a 178-179cm guy? Or you can see him only as a 5'11" range guy?

Editor Rob I'd be shocked if he measured 178-9cm...but as I've said before, the time I measured Height Challenger 8, he was shocked, I was shocked and Jenny too...he was 6ft 1.5, he regularly looked a comfortable 6ft 2 in the past...

Funny in that scene from Nightcrawler where Bill Paxton offers him a job, Paxton can look near 1.5 inches taller as stated below, near the end of the scene they stand probably at a more fair angle and look almost even but even then it seems that Paxton has a smidge over him. I think Gyllenhaal could easily get a quarter or half inch down grade.

Gyllenhaal is 5'11.5, but with say one inch dress shoes on. As previously mentioned, 50 cent's height in barefeet is around six foot, and he looks like he's over an inch taller than Gyllenhaal.
Whoever is estimating these heights needs to do more to distinguish between the one inch difference in people's shoe height. If you ask a lot of people what their height is, they'll normally add an inch based on what their height in shoes is.

Man, he is a hard one to pin down. I see he can look about 5'10" often, but at the other times he can look pretty much current listing also. I believe Heath Ledger was legit 6'1" guy and next to him Jake looked not more than 4cm shorter. Jake is not 6ft tall and maybe even 5'11.5" is a bit too much, but I think he can still hold 5'11" flat mark.

He MIGHT measure 5'11" first thing in the morning, but this is obviously not even his afternoon or evening height. You'd have to believe he wakes up 6-feet or over to list him at this.

Pena's shoes don't look to have lifts and I highly doubt Pena would jog in lifts. There seems to be a max of 2-3 inches between them. That makes Gyllenhaal about 5'8, 5'9. In every photo w/ them, there is the same 2-3 inch height difference. Please explain this.

Thanks for posting those pictures. The funny thing is, even in other pictures of him with Michael Pena, he still looks only about 2 to 3 inches taller. That's why I want people to watch the interview with Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena on BET 106&Park for End of Watch. It shows their footwear and Jake STILL only looks about 2 to 3 inches taller which puts him at 5'8-5'10 MAX.
Oh and trust me, you can EASILY spot shoes with insoles by the way the ankle moves and I don't think Michael Pena has any insoles.

He was looking unusually short at the time, but given the other photographic evidence, the only reasonable explanation is that Michael had something in his shoes during these red carpets. It's pretty clear to me that he's not as short as 5'8", and even 5'9" seems too short. But, given the pictures I showed of him with 6'2" Chris Pratt, it's really hard to see this guy as much above 5'10". Even 5'11" is looking too much. 5'11.5", then, is just ridiculous.

He's only 5'8, 5'9. Look up Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena on BET 106&Park or look up the End of Watch Red Carpet Pics. He only has about 2 to 3 inches on Pena. Michael Pena is LISTED at 5'7 w/ some people saying he's only 5'6.

MD, I think you've got this guy's range 1 inch too high. I think his range is 5'9" - 5'10". Remember he looked virtually identical in height to Jamie Foxx. That is not how a 5'10.5" or 5'11" guy looks next to a 5'9" guy. I just can't see a 1.5 - 2 inches delta between them, I just can't. And I'm even discounting for the fact that Foxx could be as low as a flat 5'8".
In summary, I could live with a 5'10" (178cm) listing for Gyllenhaal, but anything over that is crazy.

5'9.5" is a bit too low, but it's clear - particularly from the photos I posted with Chris Pratt - that he's between 5'10 and 5'11", maybe just maybe 5'11", and that's even by chance that Pratt has a footwear advantage in those shots.

On the other side, there are many pictures posted on here which would make a case for a 5'11 MAX listing... So, nothing has really changed!
