He was very charismatic in Big Bang him and penny were cute. But I think penny was a bit taller than him. She was probably around 167cm. So he would fit perfectly at around 165cm. The listing is accurate

I think he doesn't hold 5'5" deep into the day. So he's more like 5'4.75". Hate to lower the height of an already short guy, but he seems to just be barely taller than Simon Helberg (although he wears lifts at times). Crowd guess for both their heights is quite accurate. Galecki is in the 164-166 range.

Well, in this photo Galecki seems to be 4 cm shorter than Kaley Cuoco. How could you explain this? Click Here
I would give Kaley 168 cm and Galecki 164 cm

He looks similar in height to Kaley Cuoco to me. Sometimes one looks a little taller then the other but to me having watched tons of BBT they are basically the same height. I would be surprised at .75 inch difference. There are also many many off screen photos of the 2 together standing right next to each other. The 5.5 is right for Johnny its Kaley that needs a little downgrade.

I met this guy a couple of years ago. After talking a bit he asked me for my height and I answered with 6ft 3. He just said ´Why can´t I be taller than 5ft4.5 ?

I don't believe for a second that conversation ever happened!

True fans can now hang out with the characters from The Big Bang Theory whenever they want to. Well, sort of… These new Big Bang Theory Cardboard Cutout Standees allow you to put life sized cardboard versions of your favorite characters from the hit TV series in your home. Imagine having a Sheldon standee to protect your spot on the couch when you’re not around. Just don’t do anything creepy with your Penny standee; I’m warning you!
These cardboard cutouts are life size. Sheldon Cooper stands 6′ 2″, Penny is 5′ 7½”, and Leonard is 5′ 7″ tall. Raj is is 5′ 8½”, while Howard is just 5′ 6½” tall.

There is no way he is 5'5, he is 5'6 the same height as Kaley Cucko, he is short but not that short. Ive seen episodes where both of them are barefoot and they are the same height. Rob, he is not 5'5. Leonard 5'6 Howard 5'4.5, Raj 5'7.5 maybe a weak 5'8 Jim Parsons 6'1.5 Kalley Cucko 5'6

I think he is a 5'4" or a bit more but he is more than a full head shorter than Jim Parsons so that 10 inches less than Jim who is 6'1 1/2. So that's around 23 cm less than 186cm Jim making Johnny no more than 163cm

Okay, Roseanne was 5'4" 20 + years ago and I think he edged her out on the show, so 5'5" is about right.

I doesn't know if he never claimed his height of 5'5",did it?If he didn't it,second me, he could be tall 5'6", in TBBT he looks as tall(or almost) as Kaley Cuoco and in some episode he looks taller than kaley cuoco,maybe angle of the camera, prospective etc., maybe shoes(also whether Converse all stars believe that lift only 0.6 inch ).

I think you need to upgrade this, he looks more like he is 5'6, I would be surprised if he was shorter than 5'5.5. No way he is 5'5 or under, he is the same height as 5'6 Kelly Cuco

5'5 looks legitimate.. Boy, The Big Bang Theory may be the show that has the main cast with the shortest average height.. ever.

This picture is poor for comparisons because of the angle. I'm 5'5 at night with excellent posture. And I do look around Galeckis height. He's short, but not weirdly so. He also occasionally wears lifts. Simon Helberg wears lifts in practically any shot i can find of him, that is - if robs 5'4 listing is correct. He always stands completely straight as well.

5'5. But good looking, and his girlfriends have all been stunners. He is solidly built though, looks like those italian genes shine through.

That's funny, I always thought he was actually shorter than that. I figured maybe around 5'3". Always hard to tell on TV though.

I saw him on Broadway with Tom Everett Scott. He looked much shorter than him, and Tom is about 6'2". I would say he is closer to my height (5'4") but I can't confirm it since he was on stage when I saw him. Good actor though and strong stage presence!

I can't tell too well with him. It's clear he's little and they have made jokes about it on TBBT and on Roseanne years back, but where abouts his height falls is hard to tell. If I had to guess I'd say he was about 5'4-5'5.
