Jake looked quite short next to the other actors (you don't see him with John Thaw) in the Inspector Morse episode 'Driven to Distraction'. He's still young enough to play an office boy in a driving school-like establishment, and has a full head of red hair. The episode is from 1990, I believe.

That's news to me, James! Perhaps he has an abundance of confidence, and as he's starred in a wide variety of dramas, it does add to his appeal.
5ft9.75.

Rob, I didn’t know where to post this. How tall do you reckon Dean Sullivan aka Jimmy Corkhill of Brookside is/was? He looks over 6’ to me. But I have no clue as to how much over. He looks easily 185cm or more.

danny dyer 5ft 11.5 always looks 2 inches taller than Jake .. so i'd say 5ft 9.5 is bang on..

Editor Robmaybe a little benefit of camera there, but over 5ft 10 I'd have believed from that moment.

I just had to check, and he played a policeman who plants evidence on the wrong man, played by Rhys Ifans.

I'm catching up with an episode of 'Trial and Retribution' and Jake is giving a heartfelt performance helping in the investigation of a dreadful case of child murder.
It can't be easy to act in a dramatisation like this, and Jake has certainly borne that out, shedding genuine tears.
So not only was he in an episode of 'Inspector Morse', he was also in this Lynda La Plante classic before he joined 'Eastenders'.

Big Rob, here is Jake wood with Phillip Scofield, how do you think they compare? You know more about guessing footwear then me. Jake is closer to the camera but he is bending down alot. I can see scofield at 5'10.25 and Jake at 5'9.5

There is a video on YouTube of old Eastenders scenes one or two of which James Wood who plays Max is a few times up close in the face of Jamie Lomas who played Jake Stone at the time. Jamie Lomas is clear 1 1/2 or 2 inch taller than Easily and Jamie Lomas is only 5ft 10 1/2 so give or take shoe differences I reckon he Jake Wood is around 5ft 9 1/2 -5ft 9 3/4 accurate

something is off with those pictures of joe weller and jake wood. whilst i believe KSI could edge out jake wood, joe weller even being the same height as jake is laughable, let alone 2-3 inches taller like that picture suggests. I think either that is a mixture of camera angle, jake slouching and a footwear advantage to joe, or joe is literally standing on his tip toes.
jake wood has been on screen multiple times with guys like shane richie, scott maslen and danny dyer who are around 181-182cm, and guys like micheal french and rob kasinsky who are 183-184cm. based on all these scenes he is no less then 177-178cm.
weller on the other hand, is a strong 5'8 like big rob

@ EditorRob, I agree with you he has quite a small head and gangly body which can make him appear taller at times. I think Jake is definitely a very strong average height for a guy (5ft 9.5 - 5ft 10.5ish maybe pushing a little towards the ever so slightly taller side on a good day. He seems roughly 2.5 to a good 3 inches taller than Steve McFadden when they're doing scenes who appears to be a weak 5ft 8 - 5ft 7.5 as you have already listed; he seemed a good 3 inches taller than Samantha Womack aswell who is 5ft 8 as well and I think he is a similar height to Ross Kemp who always seems to appear between 5ft 9.5 to 6ft depending on the camera angle and his posture whilst filming.

Editor RobKemp sometimes has looked 5ft 10-10.5 at times, he may well be a 5ft 10 range guy, even though I thought he might just fall under it.

I met Jake Wood around 2.5 years ago as he was switching my town's Christmas lights on. I am around 6ft (182.5cm but possibly pushing 183cm now as I am only 21 and still growing a tad)and he was roughly 1.5 inches and maybe pushing 2 inches shorter than me. Always thought he was just a little over 5ft 10 as there was barely a 2 inch difference between Jake and Robert Kazinsky who is a strong 6 footer and even wore those big boots which made him look even taller. Also, there's not much over an inch difference between Jake and Scott Maslen who is 6ft aswell (again pretty much the same size as Kazinsky when they when Sean and Jack used to square up to each other although Rob's foot ware and spiky hair made him appear taller). Could it be possible that Jake Wood is 5ft 10.5 on a good day? He is abit like Ross Kemp when it comes to measuring height cos he can barely look 5ft 10 but sometimes looks a decent 5ft 11 sometimes, in particular when stood next to Harry Reid who is 5ft 10 he is tad taller.

Editor RobJake doesn't seem to have a big head, which may help him seeming taller at times. Although I couldn't rule out the chance he is 5ft 10 range.

@ Sandy Cowell - Hi!
Yes, I totally agree with you in that Max is a decent person at heart, he would have been better served if people had listened to him and helped sort out his problems like you quite rightly said. He has made a lot of mistakes but he has also not been helped by bad luck and a lack of understanding from other people, his hug with Stacey most definitely shows the calibre of person that exists with him!
I have seen Jake a lot over Christmas and he appears to be very average in height, but he has been in the company of Scott Maslen quite a bit, who definitely appears tall as opposed to average!
Your Mr Man really is amusing, I mean "socialising with a circle of fruit!", whatever next! Also I agree he could have made things worse by adding a few letters to "woof"!
Cheers!

@ Nik - I absolutely do think what happened at Christmas was terrible for him, not to mention the whole family and circle of friends*, and if he had received a more understanding ear with his depression, then it would never even have happened.
When he hugged Stacey, who's about 5ft3, and certainly not more, he does actually look really tall! He looks a taller man than she does a woman!
@ Gladstone Screwer - Hello and a Happy New Year to you! I'm glad you remember Jake in an episode of 'Inspector Morse'! Too right it was a bit part, and unless I am very much mistaken, it was a part from
'Driven to Distraction', which has greatly comical parts in it, as do most of them, but not thanks to a very young Jake Wood*! His part is rather plotless and boring, unlike what lay in store for him when he signed up for 'EastEnders'!
😂... and here's the autocorrect at work again:
i) For some reason, he thinks that the Branning family socialize with a circle of FRUIT! 🍅
ii) He tried to change Jake's name to Jake WOOF! 🐕
Now that could have been made worse with the addition of two or three more letters, come to think! 😨
Bye for now and cheers to the both of you!

@Sandy Cowell - Hi!
To be quite honest, Jakes character Max couldn't be any more unpopular but you have to have sympathy with him over what happened to Abi, and Lauren too. He really was centre stage over Christmas and it allowed me to take in his height a bit, he looked very average to me so I will stick with my 5'9.25" estimate but I could see him being 5'9.5", like you said!
Cheers!

Hi Nik! Yes, it is always good to see a new soap star on celebheights, and Jake is no exception! He stole Christmas 'EastEnders', even if it didn't make his character any more popular!
