He looks 5ft 10 in to me. He wasn't much taller than Set Rogen, and he looked mid-height in Freaks and Geeks.
Still too tall to play 5ft 6in James Dean: that is another story...

I just met James Franco in Cleveland at the museum of art. He is a small guy. He's 5-9. He was wearing normal boots.

@anonymous:
Johnny Depp is 5' 10".
James Franco is kind of leaning in a little bit, so I'd say about 5' 11" or 6' since he's kind of slouching, too.

He has a very long torso, long arms and short but muscular legs. He looked pretty small in F&G back in the day next to the girls, who were 5"2 and 5"6 respectively. He looked a little taller than Busy Philipps, who is listed as 5"6 (hard to believe since she looks so burly - I know)
That said, he was taller than Penn in Milk - not a lot but still. You cannot go by movies, of course, everyone wears lifts etc. (ask Depp, Downey Jr. and Cruise) I say 5"9-10 is pretty accurate, since he really looked only a little taller than a 5"6 inch Phillips. (both wearing flat shoes, of course)

Sorry Jai, that really doesn't add up with the picture above? ...Glenn is 5ft 8 and James is clearly around 3 inches taller... I think that the photo that I showed below more prooves that both James and Seth are around 5ft 11.

Can anyone explain why then James clearly always looks a good 2-3" shorter than Seth in their movie Pineapple Express??? Anyone smart out there? And don't give me that elevator shoe crap that is sponsered by Celeb Heights.

MM ...my comment about "what's so hard to believe...." is there to point out the fact that people here always insist that ALL celebs are always much shorter than what they claim ....it certainly isn't a case of me 'not understanding' that celebs fudge their heights ...I'm saying that it's not a case that, by default, ALL celebs fudge their height ....and yes I am paying attention ....an example of me paying attention is pointing out that James Franco claims 5ft 11 ....and seeing with my own eyes the picture of him standing around 3 inches taller than 5ft 8 Glenn.

downgrading rogen in PA makes perfect sense considering the character he plays, in order to make him seem more average and whatnot. As for Franco, as Ive said in PA he was wearing complete flats and was no more than an inch lower than a 5-11 rogen. Additionally, he looks to be almost brushing 6-0 in the picture above with a 5-8 Glenn. Anything lower than 5-10 is silly talk, it's just whether or not hes a full 5-11

"what's quite so hard to believe that someone might actually be near to what they claim?"
Because they're celebrities and it's extremely common to fudge height by a couple of inches? Same reason athletes often do it? If you can't understand that, you're not really paying attention.
The only thing that really amuses me about the debates, though, is that people seem to honestly believe someone "looks" like they're 5'10 versus 5'11, especially in a photo or in a film. Even people trained to judge height are often off by an inch or two, small changes in posture, footwear, the ground, all throw things off. It's even more funny when people claim they can tell someone is 5'x and a half inches rather than 5'x.

in PA, franco was in flat nothing shoes, and was never more than an inch shorter than rogen, whose in the 5-11 neighbourhood. 5-10 is the lowest id go for franco, likely closer to 5-11

You're right Glenn, there's no need for that entry from anonymous. Your photos give us a good insight into whether celebrities are roughly near their listed heights ...if meeting celebs and getting photos is a hobby of yours, then good luck to you! I'm sure it's quite often the case that celebs are an inch or so below their listed heights, but it makes me laugh when people insist on here that every male celeb is 'actually' 5ft 7 and wears 4 or 5 inch heeled boots ...what's quite so hard to believe that someone might actually be near to what they claim?

Just watched Pineapple Express. At one point there's a police profile of Seth Rogen's character on it which reads 5'9".... When he first goes to James Franco's character's appartment, Franco is barefoot, Rogen is wearing shoes and they look level on height, possbly Franco a little more ....which would make Franco 5'10" - 5'10.5". He doesn't seem any smaller than that in other films. Maybe his listed height of 5'11.5" is with shoes on.

Everytimes I've ever seen James he was wearing boots with heels. He always wears heels. You can take off at least 2 inches off because of those.
And he is shorter than Seth and Seth isn't that much taller than 5'9.
So I guess James is NO TALLER than 5'9.

Seth Rogen made Franco look 5'9, I mean who knows, maybe he is 5'10, but I wouldn't go over 5'10 unless you wanna say Rogen is 6'0. And if Rogen is 6'0 then the 5'9 listing for him in pa-e is very strange, I mean downgrading him by 3 inches, that would seem a little odd. Who knows.

Franco attended the same highschool as I did. I played years of soccer with his little brother Davey, who is 5'9ish. James is a legit 5'10 maybe 5'10.5, I met him at graduation and he was a solid 5'10.

Frankly I said 5'9 range and 5'10 max, 5'9.5 isn't 5'9 by the way, it's between 5'9 and 5'10 and personally I do actually think maguire is closer to 5'6 than 5'7, he's 2 inches shorter than downey jr, maybe in the morning tobey would be a bit over but I really think he's more 5'6. Rogen is almost or at 2 inches over franco...

I don't know why Glenn cuts and crops his picture with all the celebrities. I mean who is he to get pictures with all these celebs? What does Glenn do for a living to have all this time to take pictures with many (as per this site) celebrities. I find this ridiculous. Everyone examine this photo, Glenn's face color and James face color are from 2 different cameras, escpecially the lighting situation. Lighting is from 2 separate photos. I have been in the photo business for 20 years and can surely tell you this photo is a sham. Looks like Glenn is trying to establish himself with Celeb. Heights for FAME AND profit. GOING BACK TO FRANCO'S HEIGHT- IF FRANCO WAS 5'11 TOPS DO YOU KNOW HOW TALL HE WOULD APPEAR IN MOVIES WITH THE WAY HE IS SO SKINNY FRAMED. YET HE DOESN'T EVER LOOK TALL. HIS FOOTWEAR IS ALWAYS 2" OR MORE BECAUSE JAMES WANTS TO FEEL TALLER THAN OTHER PEOPLE, THE TYPE OF GUY HE IS. FRANCO IS NO TALLER THAN 5'8.5". IF YOU WANT TO GET THE FACTS STRAIGHT, first investigate, THAT IS A FACT.

anonymous posters amuse me, jd's reasoning confused me, and horse is making fun of my paragragh, lol! Jd I don't downgrade everyone and if franco is 5'11 then rogen is 6'1, it's like the smart anonymous said, heigl in heels made him look very small. If he's 5'11, then would be closer to 6'0 in shoes, she's 5'8 and in heels would be 5'11-6'0, so they shoulda looked equal height, yet he looked 2-3 inches shorter, explain that anyone. Glenn I could definately except 5'10 or 5'10.25 but 5'11 for him would be a stretch, granted he can look it and maybe it's not a big deal for him to claim it, but if measured IN BARE FEET, I think we'd get closer to 5'10 and 5'9 region wouldn't suprise me, pa express rogen had him by 2 inches, heck everyone in that movie had him by at least a little bit except the kids they sell to in the playground. 5'11 listed gary cole had him by close to 2 inches, I could see 5'10, I could even see a quarter inch over that but that I would see as his max. I think he spends most the day at 5'10 or slightly under and at night he has to be 5'9 range. Glenn likely has flat shoes where franco was in boots. Not to mention the fact that his hat makes him look taller. I've heard several ppl say that he said himself in a mag interview that he is almost 5'10, heck even on this page if you read down a bit, you'll see a few posters that have heard that as well. wouldn't suprise me. I wouldn't ever go anything under 5'9 for franco at any point during the day, it's prolly like he claimed, almost 5'10, which would be mid-day and lower end of 5'9 late night.

nah complex, you just downgrade everyone.
glenns already explained how he wakes very late in the afternoon, as such his height would likely not be much less than 5-8 in this pic if any at all. from that franco would have the disadvantage. footwear can be analyzed if glenn says what he ws wearing, which in all likelyhood is boots or something with similar heel size. with that into consideration, franco looks easily 3.5 inches to even 4 inches taller than a 5-7.75 glenn at night. to me that would easily put him at 5-11 (more 5-11.5 to 6-0, but taking boots into consideration, safely 5-11) this is ofcourse assuming there are no lifts involved

His eyes look 2.5" taller than 5'8 Glenn. I think 5'10.5 is correct. I thought he looked similar in height to Rogan in PA as well. Also Complex, is there anyone you dont think is in the 5'9 range 5'10 max?

Yeah gago, I think he's gettin a little height from that hat, Glenn said he had boots on, so boots, plus hat, good posture, that's how he looks so much over glenn..I think 5'9 range 5'10 max, proof of that is on pa-express, 1.5-2 inches shorter than Rogen...

Id say Glenn is about 5'7.5 at night right ? So James looks a good 5'10.5 here sure. I had always thought he was 5'9ish but now i know he's taller.

He always seemed a legit 5'10er maybe on the shortest side of 5'11 so this estimate ( 5'10.5 ) seems pretty accurate to me :)

First off there is no way in certifing the conditions of authenticity of this photo. Hell, we don't even know if James is wearing lifts in his footwear. Secondly, WHY OH why in the movie pineapple express throughout the whole movie James looks a GOOD 3" shorter than Seth Rogan???? And in the movie a quote from the old lady..."he is (speaking about James Franco)to the police gorgeous, but short as ****!" I don't think 5'10-5-11" is short as **** that height is above average height....doesn't make sense at all. FRANCO is no way taller than 5'7".

I don't think 5'10-5-11" is short as **** that height is above average height....doesn't make sense at all. FRANCO is no way taller than 5'7".

Do you guys see that he has a hat and that gives about an inch advantage. I gotta agree with Complex on this.

He certainly does look a good bit over Glenn there, I imagine he must of been in boots or something, because he looked 5'9-5'9.5 next to 5'10.5 Rogen, he looked an easy 1.5-2 inches under Rogen like poopgeese said. Also in PA express they had numerous scenes of him being shorter (even if not by a lot) than most of the cast. Don't get me wrong, I could buy 5'10, he looks nothing under 5'10 there, but I think in barefeet he could be in the 5'9 range. Glenn what was his footwear like?

straightened out he really looks close to 6-0. considering glenn admits to being 5-8 when he wakes, and that he wakes quite late, if anyone would have an advantage it would be glenn. If footwear is even close to equal, it would suggest a strong 5-11 as a night time height. Unless hes in lifts there, he deserves an upgrade

I was really surprised at the comedic talent of this guy--also, 5' 9 seems more suitable when you see him side by side with a 5' 10.5 Seth Rogan

Well is Glenn 5`8 in that picture? Depending on the footwear and the fact that its lat at night, Glenn would be about 0.5-1 inch shorter.
Id say franco is 5`10, he is stick thin too.

Franco has been wearing some more than average sized heels lately on his shoes. For example the picture below, it appears he's got lifts but there not obvious like Cruise. 5'10'' flat is most accurate, he's never looked taller up until recently.

On the SAG Awards the other night, He and Emile Hirsch introduced the clips from Milk. I know Emile is hard to pin down, but 5-6 to 5-7 seems to be the consensus. Franco, assuming no lifts was at least 4 inches taller. This height seems about right. (By the way, Franco is FANTASTIC in Milk! He is a much better actor than I realized.)

I watched Pineapple express yesterday. In the whole movie there was clearly minimum an inch or 1.5 inches between Franco and Rogen. If Franco is 5ft10.5, then Rogen is 6ft for sure. But I think Franco is more like 5'10 and Rogen is 5'11. It is really funny that they mentioned Rogen as 5'9 in the movie.

Chillax, it was a joke. Yes, you have met more celebs than I ever will. But is it possible that you aren't the best judge of height? I've been a fan of movies for well over 20 years and I have never ever heard of a celebrity male downgrading his height for a film when height was not central to the character. It never happens. Why would Seth Rogen's height be listed as 5'9" if he wasn't? And on this very website, it says that Seth Rogen has stated several times in interviews that he is 5'9". What am I to believe? You or the actor himself? I have to go with the actor since he has not incentive whatsoever to downgrade his own height. In fact, he has just the opposite incentive. Thus if Seth Rogen is 5'9", I cannot accept that James Franco is 5'10. We've seen them side by side in the movie, on stage at the MTV movie awards, in numerous freaks and geeks reruns (check youtube). James Franco is shorter than Seth Rogen in every situation. Ergo, he isn't over 5'9". Rather he is shorter than that. I don't mean to be insulting but I just think you don't have a good sense of height. Some people do, some people don't. It's plausible that you don't. No insult, just raising the possibility.

Even in the movie pineapple express the old lady says" he is very good looking (James Franco) but he is short as shiitt"!!!

i'd say 5'7. i just watched Pineapple Express and Seth Rogen's height is listed as 5'9" in the police database. Why would an actor shave inches off his height? No actor would so I have to believe Seth Rogen is indeed 5'9" and that would make James Franco about 5'7-5'8 MAX. Oh, and if you need more proof about Seth Rogen, look at him in the scene with Ed Begley Jr. Unless Begley is the new Lakers center, I'd say Seth Rogen is 5'9", exactly as he is described in Pineapple Express. This site is worse than the NBA when it comes to exaggerating heights. It's really out of control.

He always seemed 178 to me .
On a side note Rob , you better not take what you read in French "People Press" to the bank ( I'm French btw ), because most of the time they are full of sh*** .
I remember reading such BS as 180cm VanDamme , 190 to 198 cm Arnold (lol) , 190 cm Marlon Brando (lol again) and last but not the least OVER 2METERS Will Smith ( in a BS article stating that he reached 2 meters when he was 15 or something, OVER LOL)...
Sadly all the things I mentionned are 100% true , so I would be inclined to think that if you tell them you are 2 or 3 inches taller than you really in the interview , they would gladly put your " supposed " height on paper ... even if they are in the same room as you .
I think they prolly like to exagerrate celeb's height ...
I don't say that they always call the wrong heights , but tabloids often do so .
Plus as you mentionned the metric/feet conversions doesn't help either ...

I was studying in the powell library at ucla when he walked in and sat just one row away from me in the reading room! It was pretty weird sitting near a celebrity for like 4 hours. Couldnt stop staring at him. But anyway, I talked to him afterwards and he was quite a bit shorter than me. I'm 5'11.5" and he seemed a good 2 inches shorter. I'd say 5'9"- 5'10". Doesn't matter. That dude was freakin handsome. Just like tom cruise, doesn't matter how tall he is.

I just shot a scene with him yesterday. He was definitely taller than me, I'm 5'8". I'd said 5'10" is a good estimate (he was wearing Converse which are pretty flat). As a side note he is very thin but it could just look that way from the tight clothes he was wearing.

He didn't look 5'10.75 in knocked up. Going solely by what I saw there, I'd say 5'10 flat is generous.

I just watched 'Knocked Up' last night, and she is wearing some pretty serious platform footwear in that scene. She'd easily be over six feet in the shoes. I'd say 5'10 and some change is accurate for him. Here's a series of pictures of them chatting at the Golden Globes. Based on her gown, I'd say she's wearing heels, but she's only slightly taller than him. Click Here

In Knocked Up, he looked 2" under Katherine Heigl in her heels. She's listed at 5-9 So I don't see Franco as 5-11.5 in shoes, more like 5-10 in shoes.

Editor Rob because the mag is french it appeared in metric. I've no idea what he really did say. If he said 5ft 10 the journo would have writtn 178 in theory, he could have said 10,11 or even 6, the closest to 182cm which was written.
that's problem with metric and feet, half the time people don't convert properly.

Rob, there's an interesting quote from Franco himself in the most recent Vogue Hommes International magazine(the one with him on the cover), in which he says that a recent magazine had him billed at 5ft5 but in reality he says he's actually almost 5ft10.
Now this is a quote from him stating he's not even 5ft10! I don't know if there's a link to this article, but the magazine is on newstands at Barnes & Noble right now.

she is 5'9, and wearing heels in that scene where she is intervewing franco.. so she's about 1-2 inches taller than him there?
I would say at least 2. She's probably 5'11 in heels, but he is standing relaxed. I think 5'10-5'10.5 is a solid estimate for him.

If you compare all the guys boots the pic Viewer posted, you'll notice quite clearly that henderson is packing inserts in his boots. Look where the laces are positioned on the dorsum of the foot on all the other guys but they are at an awekward angle on Henersons :-) I say 2" inserts.

good pic Viewer. He does look a little bigger than Henderson IMO. Anyone who thinks this guy is 5'11 needs to see "knocked up". 5'8.5" Katherine Heigl literally dwarfs him when she's in heels. Now a legitimate 5'10.75 guy shouldn't look as small as he does next to her in heels if he were barefoot, let alone in shoes which he is clearly in.

I just saw "knocked up" tonight and James has a cameo in it. He seriously looke small next to Katherine Heigl who is 5'8-5'9. dmeyer met her and said 5'8.25 so ill go with that. even if she were in big heels I don't believe she would be more than 5'11.5 which James SHOULD be over regardless of footwear save flip flops. he might be closer to 5'10. same goes for Seth Rogen who looked smaller than her in alot of scenes as well.

I still think he and Topher look the same height in MD's pic, although it could be James' hair giving that impression too. Tobey could have been in lifts for Spiderman 3. He's listed as 5'8 here, but most on his page think he's a bit less, like 5'7.5 and James didn't look much taller than him in Spidey3.

That 5-11 height would be accurate. cause you can tell he's like 2 to 3 inches taller then tobey mcguire who is 5-8. James hair does make him appear taller.

When Tyrese came out in "2fast2furious" he looks short next to Paul Walker, considering that he is 6-6'1. Who's to know what they're real height is?

Heights on screen in Hollywood are staged. There is a scene in Annapolis where Tyrese is making James Franco do push ups in the rain. In this scene you see that James Franco is about 3 inches taller than Tyrese in the closeup but from a distance you can tell that a body double is used for James Franco to achieve this height.

About 4-5 inches, although she is listed as 5-6 she is really more 5-5, which would make him anywhere between 5-9 and 5-11

He is about my height and build. I can tell by the movies I have seen him in. I'm about 5'10-5'11 range which we all know isn't tall but by no means is small either. Were above 5'9 which is average. I'd say he is 5'11 and his hair gives him extra length but who carez.

Guys,
I worked on "Annapolis" shot in Philadelphia, not Annapolis at a boxing gym in the city.
Tyrese has gotta be close to 6'0. His stand in was HUGE! Mr. R, I think they gave you
a bogus reason that you were rejected. I walked by the guy and he was no less than 6'2.
So there was a height disparity between Tyrese and his stand in, but I guess it's not a big deal
Anyway, Franco boxed both guys and neither towered over him. But both were clearly taller.
He's no Sly Stallone. This guy is a legit 5"10.5 - 5'11.

Met him tonight, parked his brand-new Aston Martin (I go to UCLA and park VERY expensive cars at a nearby 5 star hotel, heheh). I'm 6'2" and stood up right next to him several times. I was about 3 inches taller than him, so 5'11" is quite an accurate estimation of his height. No taller, no shorter.

Rob, I read the same thing that tony read, in the same magazine - that James was 5'6". So, just confirming what Tony said. At the same time, I agree with you, and think it was a big misprint. In Freaks and Geeks, and in Spiderman, etc. I never thought he looked short, mostly in the 5'10" to 5'11" range. Yes, he definitely looked easily taller than Maguire to me...

If you look at the scenes where Maguire and he are standing next to each other, Franco is clearly taller, by a margin that seems to be almost 3 inches. Next to other actors, Franco (standing up straight) always seems to be 5'11".

Actually, if it is a misprint, it has been done a lot. Franco has been listed as 5-4 or 5-6 all over the place. When he did the James Dean movie, it was noted that he was about the size of Dean, who was given as 5-8. I have NEVER seen this listing for Franco. BUT, he certainly did not seem shorter than Toby in Spiderman, and he seemed a little taller than Willem Dafoe in the same film. Let's see if we can nail this guy down!
