He looks strong 188 in a lot of photos with Steve Martin
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 10/Jun/23
A lot of times especially in Europe, 6ft2 is converted to 187cm, 189cm and even 190cm in brackets.
6ft2 on the dot peak for this guy I think is fair, today he's probably closer to 6ft1 but just ease past it if measured.
Gerald S said on 7/Jun/23
Rob, could Reno get 6’2” peak?
Below Reno is noticeably taller than 6’2” Samuel Labarthe, and the camera angle is favouring Labarthe. I know Labarthe’s posture is not as good as Reno’s there but I could not imagine Labarthe as taller than Reno. Reno is also towering over an aging Jean-Claude Brialy (once a 5’10” and change guy).

Gerald S said on 3/Jun/23
Rob, could Reno get an upgrade? See him with 6'1.5" Kevin Kline at around 50:50 below (both were more or less the same age). Reno was looking near an inch taller than Kline, posture differences aside! The 187cm claim also was probably made after Reno had already lost some height.

Gerald S said on 3/Jun/23
Rob, please add The Pink Panther and The Da Vinci Code to Reno's credits.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 31/Mar/23
Sinclair, I've wondered that myself. I think he was already in his 60's when he said that.
I wouldn't object to 6ft2(188cm) peak and 6ft1¼(186cm) today. I reckon he can still hold down a solid 6ft1
Gladstone Screwer said on 11/Nov/22
Absolutely top actor, speaks very good English. I’m a big fan of Jean, probably still near 6’1” at 74.
Scotty Council said on 13/Sep/22
I think Jean Reno is more like 6'3" and Steve Martin is 6'0" Tall
I am 5'10"
And my Friend Liam is 6'0"
Sinclair said on 23/Jun/22
Rob, the 187cm claim could very well have been made after Reno had already lost a bit of height?
A good 6'2" once upon a time, in my opinion.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 30/Apr/22
Looked at least 6ft2 in Leon, more like 6ft2½
Rapha said on 8/Apr/22
Hi Rob
He is listed on couple of websites at 190 cm or even 191 cm.
Do you think he was ever that tall ( including out of bed height ) ?
Editor Rob
189-90 out of bed? Yes there is a chance of that.
Alonele said on 5/Dec/21
It's wrong, average in France 178cm, average in UK and US ≈ 178, so it's similar
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 3/Nov/21
Could give a 6ft3 impression on screen....really this guy in France is the height equivalent of a Neeson or a Goldblum...same for Vincent Cassel
Almost 180cm guy said on 26/Sep/21
I think Reno was definitely not under 187 cm, but today he can be only 6ft 1. Here are some of his photos with Patricia Velasquez from 1996:
Click Here Click Here Click Here
Rob, don't you think Reno might have looked more like 188 cm next to her?
Editor Rob
Sometimes with actresses like her, you could imagine him roughly 6ft 2, but the fact he said 187cm I think is for a peak range fairly accurate.
Covvvid1984. said on 9/Apr/21
6-2 peak. Looks it in the early films absolutely.
OriginalAnon said on 3/Apr/21
He could have been 188 peak.
Sinclair said on 12/Aug/20
Reno gets at least a genuine 6’2” peak height from me. In French Kiss and The Pink Panther, Reno seems taller than Kevin Kline, I’d estimate 6’2” for Reno and 6’1.75” for Kline. There was about a two inch height difference between Reno and Tom Hanks in The Da Vinci Code and the same goes between Reno and Steve Martin in their Pink Panther movies. 6’2.5” listed Alfred Molina seemed to be slightly taller than Reno in The Pink Panther 2.
Almost 180cm guy said on 7/Aug/20
Today, Reno is 72 years old so he probably isn't over a flat 6ft 1 anymore. But in the 90's he looked well over this mark. I found some photos of him next to Sean Bean from 1998, Reno looked about 3 inches taller than Bean:
Click Here Click Here Click Here
Rob, which is more likely in your opinion, 6ft 1 and 7/8 inches for Reno's peak height or 5ft 10.75 for Bean's peak height?
Editor Rob
Reno's 187 claim I think is honest, whether he reached 6ft 1 7/8th I'm not as convinced on.
Hulk23 said on 25/Jul/20
Honest 187cm guy!
Tall Sam said on 13/Jul/20
Yeah its true he looks towering and looms large in his French films, not as much in things like Ronin, Pink Panther,
Godzilla, etc. You'd get the impression that he's at least 6'3" from some of them, guess the other French actors were quite short.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 11/Jul/20
He looks strikingly tall in those old French movies...
meezemaker said on 15/Nov/19
His footsize is very large...

Caldoni said on 25/Oct/19
I’m inclined to say 6-2 solid peak. Reason why is I lived in Paris in the very early nineties and regular saw Jean actually drunk a good few times on the West Bank side of Paris. I’m a weak 6-3 and I’d say absolutely he was just under my height.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 19/Oct/19
Rob, do you reckon he could be at 6ft1 now?
Editor Rob
He may well be sitting around that now.
Dmeyer said on 7/Sep/19
Strong 187 Peak make sens
meezemaker said on 5/Sep/19
But defenitly smaller than 191cm 'Danny Aiello in Leon whearas Reno was wearing big heelboot.
He said 187...
But comparing to other actors who claims 187 too like vincent cassel and others, we can doubt of objectivity
Sonnecker said on 7/Jun/18
Awesome actor, I'm a huge fan of him since a lot of years!
In the film The Purple Rivers he was a bit taller than Vincent Cassel.
Tall man, not far from 190 cm with a generally big structure. He hadn't lost anything noticeable until he was 60, I'd give him 6'2"1/4 in his prime peak, and 6'1' 1/2 today.
Tunman said on 6/Dec/17

How tall his wife is?like 5'9 assuming he's more like 6'1 at 69 years old.
Also how tall would you say Johnny hallyday was?He's a famous french singer who died today?Would have thought around 5'11 peak (he was 5 years older than Reno).

Maybe in his younger days Reno was a strong 188 cm/ 6'2 ft. Nowadays he is over sixty years old and as he said is 187cm I think he is honest.

188 cm peak.
Jean Reno born in Casablanca, Morocco, his real name: (Juan Moreno y Herrera-Jiménez). He is not French, both parents were spanish, so to me, He is 100% Spanish but nationalized French!

One of the few actors that doesn't lie about it his height. 6'2 peak and still looks close to that today, his lean build makes him seem taller.

Hé does look 4-5cm over tom Hanks 10 years back wish proves 5ft 11,75-6ft is very likely for Hanks , defenetly no less than solid 187cm peak like 6ft 1,75 or weak 6ft 2 , today closer to 6ft 1

Depardieu used to be 5.11 at least. Reno may have reached 6.2 when younger.

188cm peak, Rob?
Looked at least 6ft2 in Leon and The Big Blue.
Editor Rob
if he came out with 187 I believe that is what he would have been measured at...now it may well be 187 and a little bit and the little bit he's dropped. What if it was 187.5? It's close to 6ft 2...
meezemaker said on 19/Sep/15
Reno has been interviewed five / six years ago and since that definitely not the kind of person to lie, he likes to show who is really...no time for show off. He answered 187 cm. I would estimate regarding his stature and the men he is saying right. Other point, he got at least 3-4 inches on Depardieu in the movie "tais-toi!"
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 6/Sep/15

Wouldn't 187cm be closer to 6'1.5" than 6'1.75" because 187/2.54= 73.6220472?
Sam said on 19/May/15
Actually only looked 6'1" range IMO next to Steve Martin in the terrible Pink Panther remake. Maybe 1.5-2 inches taller. Also probably that range in Couples Retreat, so I think he's due for a current listing.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 3/May/15
"Peak height was 6ft 2½in (189cm)"
Looks near 6ft3 in Leon and The Big Blue.
Does look a little below 6ft2 today though.

Rob, he actually claims to be 187 in that video... Why is he still listed at a full 6'2? You also should mention he claims 187 in his description...

Judd said on 29/Apr/15
i can't buy anything under 6'1.75" at peak (with a good chance to be 6'2")...
today he's maybe a little shorter, if until 2006 he did look as tall as Alfred Molina, who IMO was a strong 6'2" and today maybe 6'1.5-1.75"...
6'1.75-2" at peak and 6'1.25-1.5" today are my estimates for JR

Cool, Jean Reno himself says 187 cm. Is good se a honest actor about her height.
AlexMahone said on 8/Oct/14
I don't think so that he lost any height at age 66. I agree with Rampage(-_-_-)Clover his peak height was 6'2.5-6'2.75 (189-190cm).
If Steve Martin is 182 than Reno easly 189, beacuse in the Pink Panther (horrible) remake movies was 6-7cm height difference between them.
bobbieshaftoe said on 6/Sep/14
The voiceover for the 2001 movie 'Wasabi' gives his height as 6'4", but he is clearly at least a couple of inches shorter than Vince Vaughan in 'Couples Retreat'.

i think he was a strong 6 ft 1.5 in/187 cm in his prime, maybe also 6 ft 1.75 in.
Nowadays he lost a good half of an inche, so 6 ft 1 in/185 cm is right for him. Look at these pics with a strong 6 ft 1 in/185 cm Zinedìne Zidane (

188cm-190cm is spot on. He never looks shorter than 6ft2. I'd say a strong 6ft2. I really do think that 187cm is unrealistic.

Hugh said on 6/Feb/09
In the 80's he looked 6ft3ish at times. He's into his sixties at this point so it's possible that he's lost height. Still he does look a good 6ft2. I would say 190cm in his prime.
Hugh said on 20/Jan/09
188-189cm.

Nope I personally think I'm right on the money with my estimates. Actually 6ft3 for Molina is a bit of an exaggeration. More 6ft2.25-6ft2.5.

He's tall. I was in Paris when they filmed the Da Vinci Code. I saw Reno, Hanks and Molina. Hanks looked 6ft1ish. Reno 6ft2.5ish and Molina 6ft3. And yes he's considered a giant by french standards.

1m87/88 is the good estimation. Which is pretty tall for a french. French average height is 1m75, but the young french are much taller than the older generations. I've read once that the french who are about 20 years old now reach 1m78, that's much taller than 50 years ago!

6'2 looks right. He looked really big in "Leon". He towered over Oldman. And Portman, who probably wasn't even 5' at the time.

Andreas said on 25/Sep/06
Met and spoke to Jean Reno about ten times. I love socialising with him because, much like David Beckham (5'10.5), he has no airs of pretentiousness just because he's a celeb and enjoys conversing with normal, average people. According to what he told me, when he enlisted the help of a personal trainer to lose some weight back in 1995 or so, he stands at exactly 186 cm, but is often made to wear shoes with thick soles and sizeable heels when cast for roles in which he plays a forceful character.
