As a shorter man, I sometimes get told I’m too short for a role. Or even when I get a role, I’m made to feel like, well, of course, we’re going to have to do something about that.

@Nik, I'm one of the younger people here. I'm still growing. A couple days ago i measured 5'10.75 for a doctors appointment. I wasn't feeling well. But i didn't sleep for a day and a half so I'm most likely 5'11" on the dot lunchtime if i get on a normal sleep schedule.

He looks taller than 5’7 to people because he’s a legitimate 5’7 without shoes. The general public thinks of 5’7 as quite short do to the large amount of 5’5 and 5’6 men claiming to be 5’7. Those heights are noticeably short, at the point of 5’7 that is when someone with good proportions can pull of looking lower average (not particularly short) in the right footwear and with good posture. I think he goes to bed near a flat 5’7 and wakes near 5’7.75, he is like the Tom Hardy of 5’7 guys if that makes sense.

Do you think he might be wearing elevators some times? He does seem like he’s a bit taller than 170cm sometimes, but than sometimes he looks 170cms. Also I wouldn’t suspect him of lying of his height, cause why would he downgrade his height then? What do you think Rob. Also I’d guess him to be 171cm. He does tend to wear this shoes though.

In all of his roles he has such a strong presence that I always imagine him as taller, or never think about his height at all. He might be the only actor in Hollywood whose been able to do that for me.

Just been reading some of the comments. 5ft 7in is a far more common male height than some on here seem to realise. According to the height percentile calculator produced by the CDC's 2015-2016 NHANES survey for which many thousands of American adults were measured, 170.2cm (5ft 7in flat) is at the 24th percentile for a male, 171cm is at the 28th percentile and 172cm is at the 32nd percentile.
Interestingly, this survey seems to lend further weight to the claim that average US male height has actually DECREASED slightly in recent years. It found the average male height to be 5ft 9.2in and the average female height to be 5ft 3.6in. Admittedly, this survey was carried out in the USA, but UK height distributions in the population are very similar to those found in the USA.

Since he claimed 5'7 and mostly looks about that mark, it's a fair listing, but I still feel he, like Christoph Waltz, could measure more in the 5'7 1/8 - 5'7 1/4 range.

@ Nik - I find that it helps enormously if I use my cleaning system app before I start writing! A LOT!
I have just recently acquired an enormous interest in this particular James! First I saw him in 'Split' and then just now I've been massively impressed by his winning performance in 'Into the Grizzly Maze' defeating the very clever and resiliant bear, 'Bart'!
I can also watch him in 'Wanted', which awaits me upstairs, and it wouldn't be a bad idea to check out the film 'Atonement' again, as I've only seen it once!
Not that I need to check out James's height any more, because I know him to be a fine 5ft7 figure of a man from the aforementioned film performances, but see them I will because I really like him now, thus proving that being mega-tall is by no means an essential part of being addictively attractive to women...

Without due critical analysis this is another celeb I might've given an informal guess of 5'8"to 5'9". Again, for me, it's the head/face and persona that belies his true height. He says 5'7" and he looks 5'7" by comparison so 5'7" it is. Nice pic of Kiera Knightley btw.

I have always agreed with this listing and I must say that James is above average in looks and a great actor!

But I dont see as low as 5'6.75" or high as 5'7.25" for Mccavoy. He gives shorter impression that Cruise who is min 171cm or more likely and max 171.5cm guy.

Peter, for all we know, those guys could be weaker 5'7" range, though. In particular, I could see Kit 5'6.75". Sometimes wears some pretty good boots. Myers and Hamill have worse proportions. Hell, Jeremy Piven is taller than all of them and if you saw them standing by themselves, you'd probably think Piven was the shortest. Most I could give McAvoy is 5'7.25", I'm pretty certain Tom Cruise is taller. I wouldn't rule out an occasional lift, even if primarily for professional reasons. Christoph Waltz is an honest 170 cm I believe and can sometimes look like he measures taller. I think James is similar.
Peter, for all we know, those guys could be weaker 5'7" range, though. In particular, I could see Kit 5'6.75". Sometimes wears some pretty good boots. Myers and Hamill have worse proportions.

Arch and Rising, I'd bet my honor as a celebheights user that Mcavoy, when measured would come closer to 5'7.5 than just 5'7. He can easily look 5'7.5 and never appears 5'6 range. Guys who are actually 5'7 flat, like Kit Harington, Mike Myers, Mark Hamill, never give off more than a "below average range", James can look simply average. I don't think he's lifting, I think he's a genuine 5'7 1/3 inch guy with good posture, proportions and footware so he looks average

He's unusual though in that he's just 5 ft 7 but has a look and screen presence which somehow seems bigger at times. Only when you really look into it you can see he's this short.

He's 5'7" like he said. No more since he wouldn't have he's shorter than he is, but I doubt he could be much less either. You could argue he might not want to include a quarter inch and rounded, but once you get to 5'7.5", 9 times out of 10 people will say 5'8" if they round. He looks taller for the same reason Joaquin Phoenix, Jamie Foxx, Tom Hardy, Jude Law and Guy Pearce do. Men under 6 feet who are honest about it stand out, especially in Hollywood. And I also share Rob's suspicion that he sometimes has something in his shoes. Or when he doesn't, he does often have a bit thicker style shoe or boot.

Editor Rob he's comfortable with saying 5ft 7, I'm sure many guys his height in Hollywood would be tempted to say 5ft 8 or 9, but he's a good example of a true 5ft 7 film actor, and he's had a pretty good career up to now.

He's a handsome lad!

Just re watched wanted he held up ok with the innumerable amount of average over billers.
That movie is the tallest he ever looks I know of maybe 5 7 .5 but still a small man with excellent acting ability.
Most the time he looks barely 5 7 and under 140 lbs, or in xmen he looked out of shape and barely 5 7.
Give the guy credit never heard him pretend to be 5 10 seems a solid fellow.
Yes the king of 5 7 tom cruise looks taller at 5 7 .5 to 75

I think he could be rounding down, i could see him being 5'7.25 -5'7.5. He looks it with Radcliffee, Knightley, and some others. Though Fassbender makes him look 5'7 flat if Fassbender really is only 5'11. I think he deserves a quarter inch upgrade.

I still wouldn't be surprised if in some films he has had a little extra in the footwear, not much but enough for a wee boost.

Rob by looking at his pics i have realized something, he is not an ectomorph but a very thin mesomorph. Tobey Maguire and Sean Penn (similar height range) are ectomorphs. Tom Cruise, Robert Downey Jr., Zac Efron, Hunter Parrish, Stephen Dorff, Wahlberg, Joaquin, Willem Dafoe are all lean mesomorphs. These guys are able to put on mass, whereas Tobey cannot do it easily. I realize that cause i was an overweight mesomorph, now average mesomorph.
Rob i don't think even you are an an ectomorph, you are a lean mesomorph. Could u answer that ? I am kind of curious ? I went to a doctor he checked my bone structure and my thumb reached my mid-finger over my wrists, also he checked my bone mass and bone span. He concluded i am an broad-shouldered mesomorph of a predicted height between 5'7 to 5'10 type height dependent bone structure, i am 5'7.5 so he was close.

A lot of the time its film fans who get them changed. Rob put the actress Susan Strasberg on here at just over 5ft. On the 'filmsite' they had her at 5ft 5 1/2!! so I sent them an email and said look at photo's of her with Marilyn Monroe and she was 5 inches shorter, they must have and changed it the next day

@Realist, I think it's quite an assumption that the heights on the website-who-shall-not-be-named are from major actors, themselves. I can say with a lot of confidence that Michael Fassbender isn't sitting around trolling that website and adding in whatever he's listed at there. lol

OMG he cannot be shorter than 5'7. He is not insecure about his height unlike Fassbender and Lawrence who claim 3 inches more than their original height on the infamous website. If ROB was not there, i wouldve thought he is 172 cm.

He looks shorter than a Spice Girl and that says alot... He sure wears lifts next to Angelina Jolie (whom here you say is 1.69 when she is taller than him in flats on the making of the movie Wanted) I just watched Filth and he hardly looks taller than 1.65

But Mandy, how can you really see a half inch difference between he and Jen? I'm not disagreeing because I so believe Jen is at most 5'7.5. But in films it's so hard to tell the height because of what the screen does.

Gary: He ain't taller. Trust me. Thats what a well proportioned 5'7" guy looks like. Compare him to Jonah Hill who is completely unporportional and maybe half inch smaller than James. Jonah has a tiny head, a huge square upper body and extremely short legs. He looks terribly short wherever I see him in pictures by himself . Even slimming down didn't help him. James on the other hand when alone in a photograph can almost look average.

@ Gary: those black shoes McAvoy is wearing are looking suspicious. They definitely look like big boots though, so he certainly has a footwear advantage on Anne Marie.

I think he is a little bit taller than 5'7. Cause when you look at this picture, next to anne marie. She has no heels and you can see he is maybe 2 inches taller than her. And she is 5'7.
Click Here
Also, there is a picture where he is standing next to ryan seacrest who is 5'8, and james is like maybe an inch taller. But then again I saw them at an award show, where Ryan Seacrest interviewed James and his wife, and James looked a litle bit shorter than ryan. It's so strange...
I know he said he was 5'7, but I think he was just downplaying his height, to show he's not your typical leading man, like brad pitt

Seems very small next to Rebecca Hall - and at 5'10 she looked taller than dominic cooper. So maybe my height guessing is just a bit rubbish. The again tall girls do seem to often play down their height- though normally those taller than 5'10

After seeing X-Men: First Class, I think James McAvoy is under 5'7.'' Jennifer Lawrence and Lucas Till (who are both close to 5'8'') had a couple of inches on him. Overall, Mr. McAvoy is probably 5'6'' tops.

I think he's downplaying his height a little. Probably slightly under 5'8. It's more honest and humble to round down, I do it myself. I'm 5'9.5 in the morning so I claim 5 8.5 if anyone asks my height.
That's not being humble, that's just giving a false height for no reason.
Gotta agree with others saying he is a perfectly proportionate 5'7 guy. He didn't look out of the ordinary at all in Xmen next to tall guy Nicholas Hoult and 6ft Fassbender

I agree with the previous poster. 154 lbs for an individual who stands 5'7" is by no means 'skinny'. I have a friend who stands a little under 5'7" and weighs 160 lbs and is an avid weight lifter. If you want truly skinny, look at Shia LeBouf. I think he mentioned he weighed around 130 lbs despite being nearly 5'10". Now that's skinny!

When I was 134 lbs I did too much cardio etc and on the contrary when I was 185 lbs I was eating like hell and pumping iron with heavy weights. At least for my body type the ideal weight in top shape is around 160lbs...

As for his height, I agree, he seems like an honest person and I believe he is a 5'7 (maybe quarter or a hald inch taller, and in morning)... plus, what kind of sane person would lower his own height... unless ofc. that person is extremely high...
If he is 5'7.5... it's possible that he doesn't really care about his height, or at least he doesn't care about a half inch taller, or smaller, thus saying 5'7 (i.e. can't be arrsed saying 5'7.5)

its weird how an actor can wear his height because some actors look tall and other short and they are the same or about the same height, maybe is because of his body its all about proportions, if your body is too big you look shorter and if it is skinny you look taller.hope you like the reading

I think he is about 5'8 1/2-5'9 because if keira knightley is 5'7 he looked about an inch or so taller than her. watch atonement and you will see what i mean.

I just recently watched him in, "Wanted" and I was pretty mad. They listed his height as 5'9", then he was constantly wearing shoe lifts.

I saw him on Craig Ferguson a few nights ago, he was just aboout 3 inches shorter than him and I read Craig Ferguson is lik 6 ft 2 so he might be 5 ft 9.

In the film "Wanted" it listed him as 5'9 when someone was reading his bio.

I lo.ve men, and I love McAvoy, but 5'7" seems generous, especially for a faun (see: Chronicles of Narnia)

He don't look 154. He's skinny for a 154 pounder. well i know someone who is 5'2 and 152 -154 range in lbs and they neither look it nor feel it.

He has said 5ft7 in a lot of occations. He might round down, but he never looks like a strong 5ft8 at least on screen and event photos. About his weight 154lbs = 70kg isn't that much for a healthy 5ft7 guy.

Eh,right,MD, I suppose you have actually seen him in person as Josh has? I am with Josh all the way on this topic because he claims he has actually seen James in person and was an inch taller than Josh's 5'7 height. Hey Josh do you by chance happen to see James occasionally around because I have a friend who is interested in meeting him and if you have any more info to offer I would appreciate it.

thing about his weight, is its deceptive, i weight 210-212/95-96kg (im still relatively new to the whole lbs thing...
but nobody believes me! my favourite line is: 'but your not fat?' yes because you cant be that heavy without being fat?! wtf

I estimate him as 5'7 1/2- 5'8! If you see in Atonement he does tower over Keira Knightley about a half inch taller.

Wow, if he's telling the truth (and I'll take his word on it since guys don't usually lie about their weight), his weight is strangely distributed, because 154 lbs on a 5'7" guy would usually look much heavier.

I can't imagine he weighs anything over 130 lbs, seriously. Even more noticable than his relatively small stature is how thin he looks.

the difference is that history has shown Tom C. is a distasteful, judgemental sycophant...and James isn't...or at least has not had enough media time to make a fool of himself

I find the very first post in this thread the most telling. He says "about" 5'7". I think he's being more honest than most, so he's probably 5'6.5".

it's weird that no-one cares that mcavoy is 5'7 (as it should be) yet tom cruise is ripped to pieces for it, and he's slightly taller. makes no sense

Editor Rob mcavoy ain't trying to claim 5ft 9, he's just saying 5ft 7 consistantly and also joking about wearing lifts in a couple of movies.

Met James, when he was in LA for Atonement movie, signed a poster for me, very down to earth and nice, definitely 170/5'7 and skinny.

He's probably just 5'7. Nothing wrong with this. Typical though that women love shorter men on screen but in real life they try not to be attracted because of height. I think that says more about the average woman then anything. Keira Knightley is probably even slightly taller then McAvoy, but she doesn't seem to have any problems with this, as it should be.

I still think he is taller than Keira Knightley so I believe he is a bit more than 5'7. My guess and estimate is 5'8.

I saw "Atonement" this evening, and yes, he was taller than Keira in one scene, BUT she was completely barefoot and he was wearing heeled boots in that scene. Lol.

Mind you, we would be so easy for James to pick up and carry us and hold us in his arms for as long as he desired being we are petite and shorter than he is. Being small has so many wonderful advantages for us petite ladies, especially when it comes to men.

James McAvoy will forever be my sweet precious 5'7" faun Mr. Tumnus from the Chronicles of Narnia. He was just too adorable for the human eye to behold as the tender-hearted faun in that flick. I love you, my sweet faun, James. LOL! And he is so handsome as Dr. Nicholas Garrigan in T.L.K.O.S. And he looks so devastatingly sexy as Rory O'Shea. Take it from me, James McAvoy is as great looking as they can ever come.
