he realloy could look 194 peak but the problem is that he can look 6 foot 3 flat with guys like tom hidllestone and chris pratt. well even shorter than that. i dont think he is that "short" but he really isnt over 192 today. He is in good shape and have great body even today. I dont think he have lost more than max 1,5-2 cm. And that makes him 193-193,5 peak. Again, he could look taller. but over the listed height would would mean 1 inch lost and thats not the case.

However Goldblum did not look under 192cm when standing straight. Posture wise he dip into looking 6'3.

2007:

@James B: I agree Goldblum could have been slightly taller than Seagal because I don't recall Goldblum wearing cowboy boots or Cuban heels like Seagal often did. If Elliott Gould was 6'1" at the time of that 2009 event above then Jeff still looked 6'4" with him.
James B 172cm said on 4/Aug/18
rob would you consider an upgrade too 6ft4.5 for his peak?
i say this because if steven seagal could have been 6ft4.25 in the 90s and goldblum i think would have edged out seagal by a tiny amount.
Editor Rob
I'm ok with the 1/4 inch over 6ft 4
James B 172cm said on 4/Aug/18
at peak would have edged steven seagal out too probably
Canson said on 4/Aug/18
@Rising: I agree today he’s 6’3” ish like Christian said. Maybe it’s poor posture but at his peak I would say that he may have edged Neeson out
James B 172cm said on 2/Aug/18
Even 6ft4 1/2 isnt impossible for his peak
Rising - 174 cm said on 2/Aug/18
@Canson: Maybe, but seeing him the last few years and seeing him look no taller with Conan than Lithgow and Neeson did, I'm not certain. Goldblum has a lanky frame, which could have given the impression he was even taller. I think there's a good chance Goldblum and Neeson were just about the same height, but a better chance of Goldblum being 1/8" or 1/4" over. I think Christian is right that there's a possibility Goldblum is down to 6'3" now. I really expected him to look taller than he does with Chris Pratt and Jimmy Fallon.
Canson said on 31/Jul/18
@Rising: I’d lean more toward a strong 6’4” for him than a solid. He may be my height or may have been at his peak.
Rising - 174 cm said on 30/Jul/18
I think he was the full 6'4" and maintained it through his time on Law $ Order Criminal Intent, but he's lost noticeable height in his 60's with posture only accounting for some of this. 6'3.5" is the most he could be these days, imo. Reviewing Goldblum's Conan appearances between '98-'07, he appeared slightly taller in '98 and convincingly taller in '05 and '07, but Conan actually appeared taller in '06 and they were very close in '04. I figure Goldblum was taller, but not that much. I can see anything in the 191-192 range for Conan and 193 peak and maybe 191 current for Goldblum.
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 2/Jul/18
@James B 171.5cm
In Jurassic Park II to be specific Vince look 6'4 7/8-6'5 and Jeff look 6'4 1/4-6'4 3/8 so that is like 1.5cm between them. Some scene they can look close in height.
James B 171.5cm said on 1/Jul/18

I agree with 6'4.25" peak but today he's no more than 6'3.25"
Canson said on 28/Jun/18
@Junior: I wouldn’t go less than 6’4.25 peak. He just had long limbs and the proportions of a guy maybe taller compared to other 6’4 guys. Like for example a 6’3.5 guy like Selleck doesn’t look nearly as tall but because he doesn’t have Goldblum or Neeson proportions
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 28/Jun/18
Chances Jeff is 6'4 3/8 (194) peak after watching his movie for over a decade since 5th grade. I would argue he could measure close to 6'3 7/8 when standing straight but posture wise he is loosing it to make himself 6'3-6'3 1/2 nowaday. He can still look 6'4 but that will be max.
James B 171.5cm said on 24/Jun/18

He definitely stood 6'4" or a fraction over that in the Lost World. Nowadays he appears one inch less due to his age.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit if Goldblum's only 6'3" these days. He shrank noticeably over the years.

Check out the new photos with chris pratt it looks nowhere near 192 vs 187. Jeff just look a fraction takler but its of course in reality more difference than the photos shoew. Pratt is legit 187 and couls be 187.5 and jeff is barely 192 today. Thats my guess. Jeff stsrt to look little shorter every year now. It could be 2 cm loss by now.
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 25/May/18
When standing straight Jeff can look an inch over
Chris Hemsworth.

Yes, he still looked that solid 6ft 4 range. Maybe 10 years ago he started to look a bit shorter.
Nils2 said on 29/Apr/18
For sure this guy lost abit of height.. i would guess more 6'3.5 today he can even look 6'3 but i think thats due to posture. And strong 6'4 peak.

Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 22/Apr/18
@Animus Negative. Jeff still not shorter than Conan when keep up his posture. He develope some hunches making him look lower than 6'3.75" sometimes. Jeff and Conan were most likely to be 6' 3 3/4 now.

Ho was 194, now he's 192. And I mean 6'4"1/2 to 6'3"1/2. With Liam Hemsworth (full 192 in my opinion) he looks slightly taller, but with clear arguable shoe advantage. Same height.

Not 6ft 4 from the clip, but arguably not much over 6ft 3 there.

Editor Rob
In films he could sometimes look that range, so it's not exactly implausible. I think his claim is fair, when he said a little over 6ft 4.
Jug said on 4/Feb/18
He was a solid 6'4 in his prime, for sure. He towered over Sam Neill in JP. He seems to have shrunk a bit by now, though, maybe down to 6'2.75. Didn't 6'3 Liam Hemsworth seem a bit taller than him in the Independence Day sequel? He's been looking a bit frail these days.

He gave a 6ft6-7 impression in Death Wish...

He honestly looks 6'3" next to 5'10.5" listed Quavo and that's not even accounting the fact that Quavo had thinner footwear

He's tall. Just watched Earth Girls Are Easy yesterday and Jeff towers above Jim Carrey and Damon Wayans. Looks incredibly sexy too. A solid 6'3" if not more even if he has shrunk a little throughout the years.
Canson said on 29/Nov/17
@Christian: agreed. I have long limbs and from a distance people believe i am taller until they see me right in front of them
Christian-6'5 3/8" said on 27/Nov/17
@Canson
From a distance, long limbs often give the impression of being taller, but up close I don't think it's much different than someone with medium/short limbs because most people judge height by the top of your head, not by your limbs.
Canson said on 26/Nov/17
@JamesB and Christian: a lot has to do with build. Longer limbs will bring that with it.
James B said on 23/Nov/17
Christian- I am 5ft7 and get guessed at 5ft8, 5ft9 and on the odd occasion 5ft10. When I tell people I am 5ft7 they never believe me and insist I am taller
I think 5ft7 is a perfect height actually.
Christian-6'5 3/8 said on 16/Nov/17
@Rampage
True, tall guys like us can get guessed 2 inches taller than actual height, like how you at 6'4" probably get guessed at 6'6" sometimes and also me guessed at 6'7" and a few times even 6'7"/6'8".
Canson said on 15/Nov/17
@Rampage: i come down to 6’4.25 after a long day and if on my feet (even lower on extreme low) and i get guessed 6’6” still because of my build and posture shoes etc but even in a regular sneak

Thanks to all people for giving a reasonable guess on Jeff Goldblum.

@Junior: this is one of the most accurate listings here. I completely buy a 193-194 peak for him at his lowest and 195-196 out of bed. He looked every bit a strong 6’4 that could flirt with looking 6’4.5 at times at night even
Sam said on 6/Nov/17
Not looking a perceptibly different height than
Chris Hemsworth these days. The most I'd give him at the Rangarok premiere is around 6'3.25"-6'3.5", so maybe heading for a full inch height loss if he's not there already.

Jeff can still look 6'4 now although rob list him at 6'3.75" now because he heading 70 soon and might anytime fall into the trap of 192cm. Meanwhile he could still be stable standing at 6'4 than someone like Conan O'brien much likely 6'3.5" but keep claiming 6'4-6'4.5". Jeff Goldblum at his hey day have to be a solid 194cm guy even hold it before bed.

This is one real 6foot4 in Hollywood. At least his peak was 6foot4 and 6foot3.5 now
Rising - 174 cm said on 24/Aug/17
I haven't seen that film since it was new, but I'll see if I can find some stills that show his shoes when I have time. What was the difference between Goldblum and Vince Vaughn back then? I believe Goldblum was still the full 6'4" when he starred on Law & Order Criminal Intent and his character was referred to as taller than Vincent D'onofrio's character, which was true to real life as evidenced by the scenes the two shared.
Canson said on 24/Aug/17
Strong 6'4 peak 193.5 lowest
Weak 6'4 today 192-192.5 lowest
James B said on 22/Aug/17
How thick were Goldblums shoes in the lost world?
Rising - 174 cm said on 19/Aug/17
He's barely taller today so there's no way he's lost 1.5"+ during the last 20 years, imo. Hemsworth seems legitimately the 6'3" he claims so I could see Goldblum as a legit 6'4" with an inch on him, but I don't think Goldblum was taller than he claimed, much less 6'5" so 2" seems a stretch in that regard as well. I don't think Goldblum lost much until around 60.
James B said on 18/Aug/17
If you stood a lost world Jeff goldblum next to hemsworth he would be roughly 2 inches taller I think.
Rising - 174 cm said on 17/Aug/17
I think he was a full 6'4" at his peak, but he looks more 6'3.5" to me nowadays if you look at him at events with Liam Hemsworth. He looks to just barely edge out Hemsworth, but the difference can look so small, most people wouldn't even notice a difference at times:

Goldblum is the type of lanky guy - especially at his age - who may not stand as tall as they are, but with Liam closer to 6'3" than 6'4", I don't see Goldblum a full 6'4" anymore.
James B said on 17/Aug/17
Goldblum is a good example of how tall a big 6ft4 really is in reality. Just watch him in the scenes he shares with Richard Attenborough in the lost world he looks freakishly large.
Junior said on 17/Aug/17
I did see Goldblum at 6'4.5" in the 1980s-2000s period. He look more like 6'4.25" in 2010s movies.
Michael said on 3/Aug/17
All I can say is he's a tall guy. Even though he has aged and grown slightly shorter throughout the years, he's still a full 1.91m at the very least, much taller than the other tall guys such as Josh Hartnett, Brandon Routh and
Ben Affleck.

Arch Stanton said on 19/Jul/17
Until you formally measure somebody there's no way of knowing exactly what they are. Look at several of Rob's challengers like the plumber, the 189 guy and the big 6'5 er, they could all look taller than they actually measured.
Arch Stanton said on 19/Jul/17
James B said on 11/Jun/17
Rob I was accurate in estimating clint Eastwood as looking 6'3 range in his old films so sometimes I do get it right (but not always lol)
Who says you were accurate? Rob is guessing as much as either you or I are. Educated guesses, which I generally agree with but a guess all the same. It's still veyr possible that Clint measured a full 6'4 even if in the morning.

yes we are all guessing on here.

Im shocked by the average peak guess, he never looked taller than 6'4.5" to me
Well it's only 0.04 of an inch over 6'4.5, not that shocking, shocking would be if the average guess was like a 196 6'5. There'll be a few people that think he looked so darn lanky in the 80s and 90s than a 195cm measurement possible. Personally I think 6'4.5 is possible, 6'4..25-5 194cm range seems good, a bit shorter than Vince Vaughan.

Agree with Canson. Smith look more like 185.5cm during filming Independence Day. Goldblum is just solid 193cm there and funny thing is Goldblum edge out Conan O'Brien at least 0.5' and more not many years ago but Goldblum ended up a downgrade at 6'3.75
Click Here this clip from ten years ago do play at 0:31 onwards for a short comparison. I won't be wrong giving Conan at 191cm and Goldblum a full 193cm. I bet fan boys will think they were same height because they don't look at how massive Conan high hair advantage given that illusion and even visitor Arch Stanton get fool thought of 6'4 for Conan
Canson said on 17/Jun/17
The touch over 6'4" could also just signify an earlier measurement. If he's 3" taller than Smith which is exactly how he looks he likely is a solid 193 at his lowest and maybe 195 out of bed. Smith looks nothing more than a flat 6'1" no less no more than a full185.5cm
James B said on 11/Jun/17
Rob I was accurate in estimating clint Eastwood as looking 6'3 range in his old films so sometimes I do get it right (but not always lol)
From some the the films I have seen of Jeff in his prime he could look somewhere in the 6'3 area at times for example when I saw the 'the Fly' I thought he looked that range in that particular movie. That said fairly recently me and my brother where watching his first scenes in the lost world and we were both quite taken aback at how towering and tall he looked granted he was wearing quite big shoes in that film.

Why does he look taller than hemsworth by 2-3 cm? Also why does Gould not look 6'1 with goldblum
S.J.H said on 30/Jan/17
I've watch Independence Day for 3 times and notice the height comparison with 6'1.5 peak will smith i would say peak jeff goldblum is def 0.5" taller than adam baldwin. Not saying baldwin under 6'4 but goldblum is no way just 6'4.25 peak and he has to be 6'4.5 and even look near 6'5 in 1993 Jurassic Park , 1985 Into the Night and 1989 The Tall Guy. But i think it's difficult for rob to put up goldblum peak at 6'4.5 maybe the system have fix it no change at 6'4.25

Might have cleared 6ft5 out of bed in his 20's. For sure a solid 194cm.
Josh jeffords said on 3/Sep/16
Spot on 6 4 and change barefit in his prime.
Obviously why he looked 6 5 or 6 in various movies wearing even flat shoes.
Funny he l looks even taller than 6 5 Cleese in silverado.
Both likely wearing boots of a sort.
bruh said on 29/Aug/16
Him and Cory Monteith (rip) are both listed as 192, but I'm re-watching glee right now and Jeff is noticeably taller in the episode (season 3, ep 13) I could find the best pic for reference
Click Here (you have to scroll through it shows their shoes and everything)
So someone needs either a downgrade or upgrade
BSD said on 20/Jul/16
yeah I would agree less than an inch between he and Vince Vaughan in Lost World, 194.5 ish
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 20/Jul/16
Standing alone or with a shorter actor (Sam Neill, Laura Dern) he may be mistaken for much taller but then in the other Jurassic Park movie a young Vince Vaughn edges him out just slightly (not by a full inch though). Overall, you could argue 6ft4½ for Jeff in those two movies.
James B said on 10/Jul/16
Remember how tall he looked in jurrasick park? In that film I'd say he could pull of looking 6'6.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 8/Jul/16
Would have been at least 1in taller than Hemsworth peak

good spot there, I will slide that in the description.
Arch Stanton said on 6/Jul/16
He looked to edge out Liam Hemsworth to me. Looks accurate, has lost a bit from peak.
Pucko said on 5/Jul/16
Jeff goldblum seems to have around 1cm on Liam
Liam hemsworth 191.5cm
Jeff goldblum 192.5cm
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 5/Jul/16
Looked 194/195cm range in Lost World and Independence Day. I think he probably gets guessed at 6ft6 at times because he's so thin
Pucko said on 4/Jul/16
I'd say that Conan still is 6'4 today, because he looked 2cm taller then Goldblum recently.
6'4.25 peak for both of them is reasonably
MrTBlack said on 29/Jun/16
He did look noticeabley shorter than DeObia Oparei who is 6'5" on this site, maybe 6'3.5" now?
James B said on 28/Jun/16
Me and my bro were watching lost world earlier and we were both amazed how tall goldblum looked.
He was wearing heeled shoes in those films so he must have appeared 6'5 range in them?
berta said on 27/Jun/16
Rob if you look at Goldblum in his newest interview with Conan they stand beside eachother and Conan is easy 1 cm taller i would say almost 2 cm taller. Goldblum have reched an age were he losing height fast. Peak he really looked 194(could have been 193) But now i Think he is 6 foot 3 1/4
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 25/Jun/16
Actually, I'd have said 6ft5 beside Sutherland
Walle said on 21/Jun/16
Update 6/2016: Now he looks 189cm-190cm next to 1m93 Conan O'brien in the lastest show :/
berta said on 14/Jun/16
i cant see him taller than hemsworth either. In photos it looks like hemsworth is 192 and he is 191. He is not that old and if he is down to maybe 191 now ore 192 on a good day he may just have been 193. Really looked 194 when he was Young but cant se him loose a inch at this age and he is in good shape
grizz said on 13/Jun/16
He was a guest in Graham Norton show with Liam Hemsworth & Dwayne Johnson, among other - he was clearly the tallest one in the bunch.

Maybe he had boots on and Vince was in flats?
Judd said on 3/Jun/16
Lurker I've looking for pictures with both Goldblum and Hemsworth and I've checked that in other pictures Jeff does look a tad taller than Liam.
There's a chance that Liam is a solid 191 cms so 6'3.25" would be better for him and in this case 6'3.75" fits well to Jeff, while if Liam is 6'3" then Jeff drop to 6'3.5"...
In other words, IMO Jeff has 0,5" on Liam!
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 2/Jun/16
6ft2 is a joke today. Might still be 6ft4 today and he cleared it in his prime...
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 3/May/16
"Peak height was 6ft 4½in (194.31cm)"
charlie said on 3/Apr/16
Jeff most likely shrunk to 6' 2" due to age. in the 1978 movie Invasion of the Body Snatcher's Donald Sutherland asks Jeff how tall he is and Je replied 6' 4". He would of shrunk a lot by then and he was almost 27 at the time of the movie.
Editor Rob
did you see him beside Leonard Nimoy in the film, he certainly had a good amount on him.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 17/Mar/16
Even if Gould is only 6ft1 (which I somehow doubt)...Goldblum looks minimum 6ft4
Lurker said on 24/Feb/16
Rob, after looking at the picture posted below by Judd ISR, it seems a bit odd that Goldblum is listed an inch above Hemsworth. The latter looks taller there, actually - and we can see both the ground and their shoes. Are there any pictures showing Goldblum to be the taller one?
Editor Rob
Goldblum today could have shrunk a bit more.
Max said on 7/Feb/16
He looked shorter than Liam Hemsworth during the superbowl awards thing.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 14/Jan/16
He's easily 6ft4+ beside Elliott Gould possibly even 6ft5!
the shredder said on 16/Nov/15
Can someone explain why he looks 6'6 with Elliot?
Dingus said on 21/Oct/15
6'04.25" peak is very good. He must have been at least 1/8 inches above the 6'04" mark. However I doubt he is below 6'04", whenever he is near someone of that height he always edges them out, however slightly.
James B said on 13/Oct/15
Hard to believe he would have had near 1.5 inches once on chris hemsworth
Judd ISR said on 13/Sep/15
You tjink it might be more safely to say "peak at 6'4" and current height at 6'3.5""?
Also if in 80s-90s and at the beginning of 00's he did look to me more 194 cms than 193 cms...
Judd ISR said on 10/Sep/15
rob, until now i never doubt about his peak and current height but recently i've seen a couple of pictures of him with Liam Hemsworth (6'3") where he does look more 6'3" than a weak 6'4":
Click Here
Click Here
You think that it's just a camera's effect or he might be actually 190-191 cms today (considering that probably he has a small shoes advantage on Liam)?
Editor Rob
he could be around 6ft 3 at times with maybe a bit looser posture at his age.
LoganNoll1996 said on 16/Aug/15
That video of him with Conan O'Brian makes me feel as if he was 6'4.5 at his peak.

194cm solid at peak...no less
Gerry said on 5/Jul/15
In Invasion of the bodysnatchers Donald Sutherland asks Jeffs character what his height is he replies '6-4 and 170lbs' i believe Goldbum was a legit 6-4" guy probably 6-4.5 easily as well and probably morning time 6-5. He looks every bit of it in The Fly
Dejavu said on 3/Jul/15
Liam hemsworth looked taller than him today
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 2/Jul/15
Rob, do you think Goldblum edged out Neeson at their peaks?
Editor Rob
I think it would be very hard to tell without measuring them. At times Goldblum could pull off over 6ft 4 look more than Neeson I believe, but looking at some 80's films and early 90's with Liam, he looked a big 6ft 4 lad.
Joe said on 29/Jun/15

Judd ISR said on 12/Jun/15
look at him next to D'Onofrio! Jeff was visibly taller so at least 2 cms...
i think D'Onofrio could be anything under 6'3.25" today so 6'3.75-4" is fair for Jeff. Here with a flat 6'4" Conan:

I thought he would be taller. Then again, we have so many tall people here he would disappear in the crowd.
Shane said on 31/May/15
Just saw him at the airport, he may have a casual posture but he is easily 6'4" if not a bit over. He was next to a friend of mine who is 6'2 1/2 and was solidly taller than my friend.
Judd said on 14/May/15
i think 6'4.25" for Goldblum at peak is fair, don't know if he was solidly 194 cms, but i think for sure 6'4.25". I believe that if measured both, Jeff would have been a tad taller than legits 6'4" like Jared Padalecki, David Hasselhoff, Christopher Reeve or Adam Baldwin.
Sam said on 13/May/15
Would be interesting to have gotten a comparison between Goldblum and Quaid in Independence Day but I wouldn't blame Goldblum for not wanting to stand anywhere near Quaid today!
The Exorcist said on 12/May/15
I think Jeff could have been as tall as 6'4.5" at peak, and just rounded down to 6'4" because he didn't want to make a big deal about it. Most people would claim more.
With 6'5" Vince Vaughn.

Judd said on 11/May/15
James B says on 8/May/15
Actually Judd saw Independence Day last night and he did look 194cm in that film however I did think randy quaid and Adam Baldwin gave a taller impression.
james, i think you cannot teach anything to me about independence day because i have watched it a lot of times...much more than you.
in fact there are no scenes where quaid meets goldblum and just in one scene (when the group goes into the bunker, area 51) baldwin and goldblum appear both, but they aren't close one to each other...
Please, you maybe should watch again it, because Goldblum is much taller than all everybody's that he meets in that movie (Judd Hirsch, Bill Pullman, Margaret Colin, Robert Loggia, James Rebhorn...).
Look at him next to Will Smith, in a couple of scenes he look like more than 3" taller than him, considering that Smith wore private's boots which gain i think at least 1-1,5"...

James, are you sure that in ID he did look 6'3.5"?
Actually he had at 3" (and sometimes even a bit more) on Will Smith and Bill Pullman, and towered on Judd Hirsh (probably at times close to 5'11").
One year later, in 1997, he portrayed again his character in Jurassic Park - the lost world, and he did look close in height to Vince Vaughn (6'4.75").
I think at times he was an honest 6'4-4.25", considering he wasn't yet 50.
James B said on 16/Mar/15
In Independence Day looked 6'3 1/2 however in the lost world looked genuinely 6'4 but he wore heels in that film.
his posture in independence day was not great

Was just behind him and his wife in the airport security line. He was very tall -- I would venture to guess he is a bit over 6ft4, possibly a full 6'5.
A close friend of my parents met him in NYC years ago and they thought the same thing: they still believe he was 6'5"! IMO 6'4.25" is the best listing!

Well, there is a case for 186 for Will Smith so Goldblum at 6'4.25 and Smith at 6'1.25 might make sense. As Rampage says though I think 6'4.5" would by no means be a stretch at peak, see him with Geena Davis in heels for instance. A 194 listing is much better though.
Bishop said on 29/Dec/14
This listing is more accurate for sure.
sixfooter said on 28/Dec/14
6'4 & he's aged well, which makes me doubt if he's aged well which makes me doubt that he's lost height. It's only when you're older when you appreciate things like being super tall, as a kid not so much.At 15 I was taller than all my classmates & it looked awkward talking to girls my age, but very small lol

In the scene from independence day where he's walking across the desert next to Will Smith, Jeff seems to tower over him. Will is apparently 6'2".
Judd said on 14/Nov/14
as i said before a close friend of my parents met him when jeff was still young and said he thought he was 6'5"...you need to consider that this man was at peak 6'1" for sure and he felt "quite short" next to jeff...
now, 6'5" is too much, but i'll bet he was 6'4.25" at peak!
James B said on 11/Oct/14
Yeah closer to 6'4.5 than 6'3.5 at his peak
Judd said on 11/Oct/14
he was at least 6'4" with a good chance of 6'4.25".
he always looked taller than a lot of tall guys from different height range like 6'3 (vince d'onofrio, liev schreiber), 6'2 and 6'1 (kevin kline, william hurt, will smith, bill pullman...).
i starting to realize that he maybe dropped a 1/4th inche when he claimed his height...
for sure he looked closer to 6'4.25" than 6'3.75"
James B said on 28/Sep/14
Schreiber could be 6'2.5
Compared to Sutherland jeff looked 6'4-6'5.
Sam said on 25/Sep/14

it is harder to say how much either was losing in height...I would have guessed Goldblum looked to be losing more height (his legs might be a bit loose) but I don't know, today he could be a bit less than the 90's of course.

He looks 1`93 in every movie I have seen. the odd thing is he didn´t look over 1`90 when I saw him in the flesh in 2005, outside a Broadway Theater. I guess I had ground advantage or he wasn´t standing straight. My cousin is 1`94 and Goldblum did not look as tall as him to me that day. As Glenn once said one encounter is not enough to judge someone´s height.

I'm beginning to lean toward 194-195cm peak after watching Jurassic Park. Really not much between him and 196cm Vince Vaughn in and I'm confident he'd edge out Liam Neeson and Conan O'Brien.
jordydecke said on 7/Jan/14
just watching him in The Switch (2010) if Jason Bateman is 5'11 then Goldblum looks to be around 6'3 now unless Bateman is wearing lifts of course. However at his peak in Death Wish (which I re-watched the other day) he looks 6'4 and a bit easily!
Ud191cm said on 10/Nov/13
Nothing over 6'4 flat he is.He's got a very small head for a 6'4 guy and long neck so he gives a taller impression and also in the fly(1986) he was only about 4 inches taller than geena davis when they both were barefoot after they make love.

Ian C. said on 2/Oct/13
Are we really sure about this business of getting shorter with age? I'm the same age as Jeff Goldblum and the same height, and I measured my height a few weeks ago, which is the first time I've done that since I was nineteen, and I'm the same height now as I was then, even though just about everything else about me has changed considerably. Also, can you really tell anybody's height to the nearest inch without actually measuring them? That seems a little fanciful.

he was barely shorter than Vince Vaughn in the lost world. Pheraps Vaughn isn't quite 6'5

Why did you take the half inch off? 6ft4.5 peak isn't unreasonable at all, he is/was taller than Vince d'onorfio
James said on 16/Feb/13
He looks 6'8 or 6'9 next too Laurence.
A young Jeff Goldblum would have measured 197cm out of bed so 6'4.25 or 6'4.5 peak. In 2013 6'3.5 is possible?
Klaus said on 15/Feb/13
Alongside Laurence Fishburne, who is a tall man (183/184 cm), Jeff seems to be about 10 cm higher than Laurence, so its average height is between 192 cm to 194 cm. Surely if Jeff Goldblum when young were measured lying down in the morning hours, the length of his body would be 196 cm or more.
