How tall is Jude Law

Jude Law's Height

5ft 10 ¼ (178.4 cm)

English actor best known for roles in The Talented Mr Ripley, Sherlock Holmes, Spy, Gattaca, Enemy at the Gates, A.I, Cold Mountain, Alfie and Existenz.
I wish I could say I was Six-Foot-One, but I'm not. I'm a lil' shorter than that. On a good day I'm Six-Foot, on a bad day I'm Five-Eleven...and a half.

How tall is Jude Law
Photo by PR Photos
[Interviewer] In Gattaca you are supposed to be the perfect physical specimen...
"Apart from being 5ft 10in, huuuugh, huuuugh, huuuugh."
He splutters some more. What's wrong with five 10?
"Well, if you're the epitome of perfection you must be above 6ft."
-- The Guardian, 2002

It depends on my mood really. I'm Five Nine, and some days I only feel Five Nine. But if I'm feeling tall I say Six Feet.

To be fair I’d give him 5’10.5 if he stood in a great posture
Realist said on 19/Sep/23
Jude Law is 5'10 and maybe 160 pounds. Being so lean can help you exaggerate your height. I am 172 myself but have a more squarish build so at 5'9.5 exaggerating my height usually doesn't work unless person is much shorter than me.
Nile Song said on 2/Sep/23
Easily above 5'10 in my opinion. Look at the photo on Robert Downey Jr's page - Downey has probably a bit over an inch footwear over Law (maybe like 1-1.25 inches?), is standing straighter, and is standing closer to the camera (maybe accounts for 0.25-0.5 inches perceived difference) and you can still tell Jude Law is significantly taller. 5'10 1/4-1/2 I'd say.

5’9” guy. 6’ was a silly claim from him.
1984here said on 20/Nov/22
Lived not far from me in the nineties in north London. Honestly wouldn’t say he’s over 5-9. Slim guy but very ordinary in stature.
PIng said on 31/Aug/22
I’ve met him I’m 5ft 11 I would say he’s more 5ft 8 at most Also the boots he’s wearing may have a little heal ?
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 29/Aug/22
For years he always struck me as a solid 5ft11 guy, enough to pass for 6ft. I'd at least move this up a notch and give him 5ft10½, a bit taller than Matt Damon in Ripley

Click Here Looks like a weak 6ft1 here with Matt!
Putrescent said on 6/Aug/22
Would that be 5'5.5?
Editor Rob
Probably at least that range.
Putrescent said on 3/Aug/22
Rob, what do you think Jude's eye level is around?
Editor Rob
For 5ft 10 range, it seems average
James.B 172cm said on 22/Jul/22
Lol rob maybe my 5ft7-5ft8 uncle described Jude as short in person because there were a lot of fan girls around him.
Editor Rob
There can be a preconceived idea of somebody being a certain stature or height. Then when you meet that person and they don't live up to it, maybe your view becomes one of underestimation or over-exaggeration.
Laughable said on 8/May/22
This is really absurd. He should be downgraded here. in every picture with his wife he looks 2 inches shorter. She is listed 5'10 and he cannot be more than 5'8. He himself said he was 5'9 but rob lists him 178.5. Click Here

Check more pictures of him with his wife and you will see he isnt more than 5'8
Jake Smith said on 12/Apr/22
Would I be considered the same height as him? I measure 179.5cm in the morning and 177.5cm before bed. Also I was wondering if I am a mid/strong 5'9 or a weak 5'10?
Editor Rob
I would expect Jude might look a bit taller than yourself. I would class you as a 5ft 10 guy, not really that weak because you don't fall much under. If you headed towards 177cm flat, that's getting into weaker 5ft 10 territory.

You mean on a good day 5’11 and on a bad day 5’10.

Pretty much, tho i don't see full 5'11, maybe measured at 179 cm and a touch
Ian Momo 'Questionable 5'10' said on 1/Jan/22
he's average height for male, tho he sometimes claim height that too far from his true height, and i believe it's on 178 range
Rising174cm said on 17/Dec/21
I think he's 5'10.5" and he claimed 5'10" while being self-deprecating so he left out the half inch. His 5'11.5" claim would add up as a measurement in shoes. As for the 5'9" claim? My best guess is he was "feeling short" that day based on the context. He looks way too tall to be 5'9". He looked a good 2" taller than Jason Statham who can't be less than 5'8.5" and he's always clearly been taller than Daniel Craig, who is more 5'10" flat and never looked above that back when he and Jude were photographed together.
Stavro said on 3/Dec/21
He says he’s 5’9”, and looks it, sooooo… he’s likely 5’9”.
LogicalLB said on 3/Oct/21
Doesn't look a full 5'10, maybe 5'9.5
Slim 6'1.5" said on 28/Aug/21
179 would be a lunchtime height

178-178.5 at his low

Solid 5’10”

Not surprised he’s claimed 5’11 and 6ft 😂
ADAM VARCO said on 10/Jul/21
I think if you measured him he would be 179 cm.

CuriousPeachie said on 24/Apr/21
5'9 and 6 feet tall are both a little off. He should claim 5'10, though I wouldn’t say anything if he claims 5'11. He’s well above average height.
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 3/Apr/21
Hah! Jude looks so young in 'eXistenZ': I've worked out he was 26, if this was made in 1999.

What a strange subject matter this film covers. Who'd volunteer to have a device shoved into his body in order to go on no-holes-barred 'trips'? I certainly wouldn't but I might have been tempted when I was young - MIGHT! - but still, it's most unlikely.

If you play this 'game' too much, you'd risk being unable to differentiate between reality and fiction, with disastrous results. You'd grow bored with what normal life has to offer, and - OMG! - the whole concept of morality would fly out of the window. When Jennifer Jason Leigh tells Jude that he shouldn't have killed the restauranteur, he asks, "Why? It's in the game!" Then he's brought back to this freaky situation and serves up the most revolting meal, with a tasty addition of two-headed amphibians, which are supposed to be a delicacy, and very nutritious. 😂🐸🐸😋

I'm only about half way through the movie, not having seen this since the 90s, and never on my own, so I don't remember how the film concludes.

Jude looks positively tall next to Jennifer, who I believe is at most 5ft3, and actor Ian Holm. I've decided to go with 5ft10.75, and get on with my 'trip' into the weird, but I fear it won't pan out to be too wonderful.... 😟🤯🙄

Great idea for a film though, and as with anything by David Cronenberg, a subject worthy of much discussion.

Someone's insecure about his height here (((:
Chaos Control 6'2.5 said on 23/Mar/21
I read that if a woman claims 5’11.5 she’s probably 6’1. Well if a man claims 5’11.5 he’s probably 5’10 but thinks 6’0 is too much of a stretch
Chaos Control 6'2.5 said on 21/Mar/21
Oh do your height can change with your mood now? Good to know, I’ve been feeling 6’5 all day!
MaskDeMasque said on 22/Feb/21
5'10.25 is fair. He looks a tad taller than a flat 5'10. I think he'd edge out Daniel Craig.

Only in the dinaric alps Jude would be short where the average is 186cm...

From what my 5ft7 uncle told me the impression he got meeting Jude Law in the flesh was that he was "little"

I walked past him in London/Paddington and he didn't look a tall man. But I guess 5'10 isn't tall.

Solid 5’10” unlike Daniel Craig, in that 178cm range

I guess it's pretty much normal to claim shoes height over there.

The only way Jude could measure 6ft is fresh out of bed and wearing an inch shoes plus a lil round up.
MaskDeMasque said on 10/Dec/20
I think this listing is spot on. He looks like a solid 5'10 guy. I bet he'd measure taller than Daniel Craig.
Dmeyer said on 29/Nov/20
Can look anywere 5-10-11.5 without lifts so Can look anywere 5-11-6ft 0,5in with shoes on

Jude's a height chameleon, he can look as low as 5'9" max and as high as 6'0".
Almost 180cm guy said on 16/Oct/20
I don't understand how it's possible but Jude looked taller than Sean Pertwee! Here are their joint photos from 2005: Click Here Click Here
And others from 2013: Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
Rob, what do you think of these photos? Could Jude really be 6 feet tall?
Editor Rob
Jude is a long-term height enigma...sometimes 5ft 11 makes sense, other times 5ft 10-10.5 looks likely, even the odd occasion 5ft 11.5 isn't ruled out!
TheBat said on 14/Oct/20
Weird how he’s claimed as low as 5’9” to as high as 6’0”. I think this listing for Jude is where he’s at.

His wife must be 5ft 10.5 at the least.

178.75 5’10 and 3/8ths at his low, great height. Not too short not too tall just average 👍
Sinclair said on 19/Aug/20
Law is taller than Matt Damon in The Talented Mr. Ripley. Additionally, I think we can all agree Law was taller than Daniel Craig, I would certainly agree with it. I’d give Law 5’10.25”, Craig 5’10” flat and Damon 5’9.75”. However, I haven’t completely ruled out 5’10.5” for Law, 5’10.25” for Craig and 5’10” flat for Damon.
I am 6ft said on 15/Aug/20
After due research i am preety sure he wears small lifts and well below 5 ft 10, i give him 5'9 and 3/4 maybe full 177cm that's all, his height fluctuate a lot over times to not notice
Slim 6'1" said on 3/Aug/20
178 range at best
Ian C. said on 27/Jul/20
In Cold Mountain, Law walks beside Nicole Kidman (five ten and a half) and Donald Sutherland (six foot three) and seems taller than Kidman and roughly the same height as Sutherland. Of course, they're walking on sloping ground, and Law gets the high side of the slope.
Bart said on 5/Jun/20
Every adult over 25 should know their exact height within a 1/2 inch. When a guy claims everything from 5’9 to 6 foot it sets off dbag alarms for me. I’m 5’10 myself, so claiming 6 foot is insane. Just own 5’10, you are a normal height. It’s not like 5’3 and claiming 5’4 trying to save face which is understandable.
Irene Smith said on 20/May/20
His latest wife appears to tower over him, looking at the pictures taken last year on their wedding day. I know she has high heeled shoes on, but I guess that Jude Law is 5' 8"....and no more!
Jani said on 1/May/20
I would give Jude 179cm/5'10.5". He seems to be about 3cm taller than 175cm Depp but this listing of him (178.4cm) is pretty fair.
Panchsfhool said on 29/Apr/20
Am confused with Jude. He had claimed 5'9, 5'10, 5'11, 6'0. Seems same like Daniel Craig so i say 1.77
Editor Rob
Jude Law's Height changes with the weather.
Lawrence099 said on 23/Mar/20
Jude and Matt Damon can look quite close but in general I have no doubt saying Jude is the taller of the two being 178 or 178.5 cm and Damon 176.5 or 177 cm.
meezemaker said on 22/Mar/20
Weird. I would have said a bit less even Jude Law seems to be a "sloucher".

He always looks a bit under that 177 Matt Damon.

176-177 is the good quote.

Steven T back in 2013 he walked past me in London and I can say with confidence he looked under 6ft

I am 5ft7 3/4 by the way
Kimblemur said on 22/Jan/20
@Steven T
Well then I don't think you're anywhere near as tall as you think you are mate! He's just over 5'10 in reality.
Steven T said on 2/Jan/20
I was in an ordinary backstreet pub near Trafalgar Square about 3 years ago and he walked in and got himself a pint next to me.

I'm 6ft 3" and he was only a wee bit shorter. I was very surprised to see he was that tall, I always assumed he was about 5ft 9/10 from everything I'd see him in.

Definitely 6 foot in the flesh!
Nik Ashton said on 16/Oct/19
The average guess justified the listing!
Nik Ashton said on 14/Sep/19
He is NOT short!
Monkey knees said on 16/Aug/19
Easily 5ft 10.33in in the morning. Very slim/slight build, and quite a large head make him look smaller. Doesn't seem to wear lifts, too...
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 23/Jul/19
Editor Rob: 5ft 10.5 is always a possibility, but I think over time I ruled out 5ft 11+ and though anywhere in 5ft 10 to 11 range.


Rob, I think that’s a fair middle ground. 5ft9 and 6ft are both extremities...and with Matt Damon now at a weak 5ft10, it would make better sense...he looks visibly taller in Talented Mr Ripley, like almost an inch. Worst case scenario alternatively you could give Damon the 5ft9½...but generally he’s looked close enough to his claimed 5ft10. Personally I go with Jude getting the 5ft10½ .
Rock it Baby said on 23/May/19
Last year during a WIRED interview he claimed to be 6' on a good day and 5'11 1/2 on a bad day. I think he's the classic 1,80 guy.
Lyanna said on 4/May/19
I think the reason behind this discrepancy is his posture. I noticed a Captain Marvel still in which he was slouching and I saw him in The Young Pope where his posture looked considerably different. He seems to be the type of actor who is constantly changing his body language,manner of walking and posture for every role. In Captain Marvel,he's hunching over Vers,which could be the sign of proteciveness or possession toward her. It is pretty noticeable during their sparring session. In The Young Pope,his posture is straighter and his head is held high which totally fits his character.
I think his ever-changing posture explains different reports of his height.
jayp said on 1/Apr/19
@rising-174. How tall are you out of bed and before bed if you don't mind me asking
179cm guy said on 30/Mar/19
Rob, wouldn't you agree that Law pulls off looking like a 179cm guy most of the time? He certainly did next to Colin Firth: ( Click Here ) ( Click Here ) ( Click Here )

He also holds down 5'10 range better than Guy Pearce ( Click Here ) ( Click Here ) ( Click Here ) and Daniel Craig ( Click Here ) ( Click Here ) ( Click Here ) ( Click Here ) ( Click Here )

What your thoughts on a 5'10.5 listing for Jude Rob? Either that or I think that both Pearce and Craig need quarter inch downgrades to a flat 5'10.
Editor Rob
5ft 10.5 is always a possibility, but I think over time I ruled out 5ft 11+ and though anywhere in 5ft 10 to 11 range.
Tunman said on 25/Mar/19
Sounds like he's joking with height claims.While I doubt he's as short as 5'9 maybe 5'10 is the correct figure though.
Arthur! said on 24/Mar/19
So Rob, looks like Jude Law has claimed 5'9, 5'10 and 5'11.5 over all these years. That's a big discrepancy!
Editor Rob
Yeah, basically he makes up a height he feels like claiming from one day to the next...last thing I seen in him was that Fantastic Beasts, I think he looked shorter than Eddie Redmayne who i arguably between 5ft 11 and 6ft.
JD 5'9" said on 10/Mar/19
At times he did look 5'9ish during Captain Marvel. Not sure about the height of the other actors though. He definitely has a slim frame and sometimes has slacked posture which might make people think he's shorter than he really is.
KH said on 13/Feb/19
Jude is the type of guy that tries to be whimsical/funny all the time he certainly is taller then 5'9. He isn't 6'0 either which he knows full well. Basically he isn't going to give a clear answer to a question like this. This listing seems about right to me.
burnitdownhomies said on 16/Jan/19
Why would he claim 5'9 if he's 5'10?
berta said on 14/Dec/18
i wonder if he really was serious in that recent 5`11 1/2 claim. I can believe 180 at best at at worst 178 but never that tall
Nono said on 13/Dec/18
he is 5ft11.5
not 5ft10.25
Jtm said on 13/Dec/18
maybe 5'10 on a good day if he's lucky.
Guest66 said on 12/Dec/18
Rob, he just claimed (in somewhat joking manner) to be “ 6’0 on a good day and 5’11.5 on a bad day” and wished he was 6’1 in a recent WIRED video. I find it weird that he’s always speculating about his height and never really comes up with a simple honest answer. Do you think it’s coming from the insecurity ?
SD(172) said on 11/Dec/18
In this video, Click Here @7:16 he says "I wish I could say 6'1,I'm a little shorter than that, on a good day I'm 6'0 on a bad day 5'11...and a half"
I think he inflated his height to impress the beautiful Natalie Portman.
JD 5'9" said on 28/Nov/18
@FM Ewan has an obvious footwear advantage, and the angle makes him look taller in that pic. Not really great for comparing heights.
Rising - 174 cm said on 9/Nov/18
I doubt the ground is flat, but Jude actually looks no taller than 5'9" for once! I wouldn't guess Ewan over 176 cm myself, but maybe there is more of a chance of 5'9.5" than I thought. Or he has some extra help in those boots. Jude's height is one of the biggest mysteries on this site.
Jakob said on 20/Oct/18
I don't know what his personality is like but I must give Jude Law some kudos for not seeming to care about his going bald and resorting to surgeries and combovers. He joins the 'going bald gracefully' club, also home to Ed Harris, Prince William and Gustaf Skarsgard...:)
Rising - 174 cm said on 4/Oct/18
Julia Roberts is nowhere near 5'9" and I honestly doubt she's even a full 5'8", but does Jude actually wear lifts? He'll wear boots, but I've also seen him wear some really low cut shoes. He's taller than Daniel Craig, though. 2005: Click Here Click Here Click Here and 2002: Click Here Click Here
Lmeister said on 12/Sep/18
In normal shoes Jude Law is shorter than Daniel Craig and clearly shorter than Eddie Redmayne.

he cant be 5'10, he must be taller than that, unless he lost some height, he was significantly taller than Julia Roberts in the movie 'closer' and she's listed as 5'9
Gracian said on 27/Aug/18
I do not understand this guy, why does he claim 5'9", 5'10" and 6 feet since he looks like a typical 179cm guy? Here are his photos from the year 2016 next to Colin Firth and Guy Pearce, Law beside Colin looks at least 179 cm, except that he looks taller than Guy Pearce: Click Here

He looks taller than typical 178 cm guy. Rob, your thoughts about Jude?
Editor Rob
I think Jude likes to keep people guessing. Overall I would say he never looks under 5ft 10 and never really as tall as 6ft....but anywhere from 5ft 10-11 I think he could appear.
Gracian said on 23/Jul/18
Rob, please answer me. You said Law might be more solid 5'10" than Craig, and he really looks taller than Crai. And he looks like 2 inches taller than Jason Statham, even if Statham can be 174 cm, this still gives Law 179 cm. Is 5'10.5" or at least 5'10" and 3/8 inch is possible for him?
Editor Rob
He has pulled that figure off, but he seems to have varying height claims, the most likely I think is anywhere in 5ft 10 range up to 10.5.
Gracian said on 10/Jul/18
I think Jude can even be someone like Chris Pine, who does not even care about half an inch. Jude looks 2 inches taller than Jason Statham: Click Here
Click Here
Click Here
Click Here

Even if Statham can sometimes look like 5'8.5" it still makes Jude 5'10.5". Rob, besides Jude looks taller than Daniel Craig, who is listed on your website as the same height: Click Here

I think it's safe to argue at least 5'10" and 3/8 inch for Jude. Rob, closer 179 cm than 178 is possible for him?

He was defnintly hunching when i saw him so was probably walking around at 5ft9 if he really is 5ft10.25
El Capitan America said on 22/Feb/18
I guess 5'8" 1/2. That is interesting what Kate is saying about his arms and legs of a shorter man. He does have short legs but 5'7" it is hard to say. I cannot go shorter than 5'8" 1/2 without knowing more.
HonestSlovene said on 12/Feb/18
I agree with Dmeyer, 179 cm.

my guess :

out of bed = 180.5cm

at night : 178.5cm
Isaac 5'10 said on 28/Jan/18
Man that's crazy, it seems no one can agree on this guys height. I'm seeing guesses as low as 5'7" and as high as 6' in the comments. I'm guessing 5'10" flat (likely around my height), maybe he occasionally drops below 5'10" He could have been claiming 5'9" to try and be extra honest. Occasionally I do that.
James B 170.8cm said on 23/Jan/18
Rob maybe i caught him without his lifts?
Editor Rob
Remember Piers Morgan calling Jude a small guy...and he isn't exactly over 6ft himself. Maybe he sometimes does give off a shorter impression, but I wouldn't say the guy seems a big lift-wearer or anything.
Jake94 (5'9 said on 22/Jan/18
@Kate As I stated below I wouldn't rule out him being closer to 5'9" and wearing small lifts. It is unusual for someone over 5'10" to claim 5'9". However saying he's 5'7.5" seems a bit extreme. He's never looked that short.
Lynx said on 15/Jan/18
@Kate, do you really think he's using almost 7CM lifts on every event he ever went to?
Click Here
There for example, Cameron Diaz is 5'8, with high heels, Law still looks an inch or two taller than her, also with his awful posture there. He's using taller heels than her? Well, those are the perfect shoes then, its weird how every actor on Hollywood is not using those.

And its funny how you say, ''on the street'' like you're seeing him every day with Craig, a single picture is not enough to downgrade someone 3 inches lol.
Kate said on 13/Jan/18
If you compare photos of Craig Law you will see something quite odd. In some pictures they appear the same height. Like at events and parties. But out on the street Craig is a definite 3 inches taller. But honestly all you have to do is look at leg length. Law has short arms and legs. He is a 5"7 1/2 man that wears lifts and heels. So he will appear 5"10.
Editor Rob
I think (in more footwear) with Lewis Hamilton who most agree was measured about 171cm, it's hard to believe Law is as short as Lewis.
Kate said on 13/Jan/18
Rob, now come on! We both now this height you have given him is incorrect. This man is no where near 5"10. Google Jude law with Daniel craig. Daniel who is around 5"10 towers over him. I give this man 5"7 1/2. Those are the legs and arms of a shorter man.
Jake94 (5'9 said on 12/Jan/18
Do you think it's possible he just admitted to being a 5'9" lift wearer? Why else would he say he's 5'9" if he's actually a solid 5'10"?
Editor Rob
It's always been a strange quote from Law. I'm not sure he's implying that he's a lift-wearer. If he is, they are very subtle, nothing like his old friend Robert Downey!

His looks are breathtaking. Also, he is one of the most talented actors of our generation. A few years ago I saw him in New York City on Broadway playing Hamlet. His was the definitive Hamlet. Absolutely perfect. I also saw Richard Burton in Hamlet around 1964. Burton was poor and over acting as usual.
Jude Law can play any part as is true of well-trained English actors.
His height of 5'8 or 5'10 is irrelevant for him. He is perfection.
I loved him opposite Cameron Diaz in their light comedy. They physically fit beautifully together and Diaz is very tall.
Love Jude Law.

179cm solid like 5'10,5 wouldnt shock me to me he could even pull off 180cm or 181 even when his shoes are normal
James B said on 18/Dec/17
Was that a joke Rob lol?

My uncle who is only 5ft7 must have met his shorter twin too when he met him in person back in 2008, because he described him as small as well. Could have said that out of jealousy because jude was getting all the female attention that day lol.

That said I wonder Rob if jude is a guy who wears lifts too appear taller when he's in the public eye?
Editor Rob
I am sure because of Jude's slim and non-hulking body frame he sometimes seems a smaller guy in person.
Lifts though? Maybe a little extra heel at times, but I haven't seen anything obvious that he's worn. He's no Robert Downey, that's for sure.
James B said on 17/Dec/17
I would not even rule out 5ft8 when i walked past jude. I have friends who are 5ft8 so i know what that height looks in real life.

Ĺke I said before he could have been walking with very bad posture.
Editor Rob
you met his shorter twin!

5'1-.25 is a good guess. Definitely solid inch taller than 5'9" Daniel Craig who wears lifts.
Slim 6' said on 25/Oct/17
Jude and Daniel Craig should swap listings.
Editor Rob
they look very close, but I think Law can certainly pull off looking over 5ft 10 flat a bit more than Craig has...

There is probably enough to say Jude falls into stronger 5ft 10 range so should be given that mark of 10.25!

I appreciate he could be dropping a fraction when saying 5ft 10
Rising - 174 cm said on 11/Oct/17
Wow, that quote where he says he's 5'9" to 6'0" depending on his mood just got even more cryptic knowing he was listed 6'0" early in his career. He can't be 5'9" unless he's one of the most clever lift wearers in Hollywood. This guy is more than an inch taller than Statham and clearly taller than Matt Damon. He looked taller than Daniel Craig as well.
Heightster said on 6/Oct/17
Honest, rare self-proclaimed 5' 9" and that's barefoot. So 5' 10" in shoes, 5' 11" and easily passes for a 'strong' "Hollywood 5-11" from other industry types' POV (point of view) who stand 5' 7" to 5' 9" and claim "5-11" to "6 feet." Definitely a good looking, smooth dude.

Slim, i think Jude and Matthew would be identical in height. I Rob has him perfectly at 5ft10in. Aging well. He is more muscular these days, looks more masculine in general, can't just say he is skinny anymore. But when in mid stride in slippers on the street with no blazer, proportion wise, he just doesn't look more than 5ft10.25in.
*************
The fact that Jude never got hair transplants just goes to show how seriously he wants to be taken. TBH even in his 90's films he wasn't that skinny. More skinny fat.
Slim said on 3/Sep/17
Tonyx, prooportions are very good for height guessing actually, it helped me deduce harry styles real height(nothing above 5'9.25").
James B said on 2/Sep/17
Rob when you see British celebs like Jude law and James nessbitt in normal everyday do you think they probably walk with hunched posture too try and keep themselves anonymous?

Both those guys seemed somewhere in the 5'9 range when I bumped into them.
Editor Rob
some celebs do that, keep head down, wear sunglasses, hats to reduce the amount of people who notice.

It could get annoying having everybody recognise and try to stop you...also because you don't *really* want to upset people by shooshing them away or ignoring them, but being a celeb, unfortunately you have too, in order to get on with what you are doing that day.

No way he's 5'9" flat, weak 5'10" at worst. He's probably just rounding down so he comes across as extremely honest.

I do doubt Jude would be 2 cm shorter than McConaughey, Jude needs a quarter inch upgrade tbh.

Not sure where you all are getting your data. I'd give Jude a decent 5'10.5. He never looks a flat 5'10.

179 would be the absolute maximum though. Not sure if Damon was that much shorter though.... the talented mr Ripley wasn't the best for height comparison.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 22/Aug/17
I think 178cm is little low for him. That makes Matt Damon at 175-176cm max and Robert Downey Jr. 169cm.

A good 179cm is my vote

Jude Law is 178 but still taller than tons of men who are 1.70-1.76 in the USA and Europe....

In King Arthur Eric Bana towered him and he was in lifts I would say 5'9.5 160 is fair I am 5'9 and change and he is my height just thin.
Slim 182 cm said on 17/Jul/17
Rising174, did you get your idea 💡 to put your height in your name from me? 😊 I bet you did!

Jude is a decent 178 or 179 guy. just abit above the strong average which I think is 177.
RisingForce said on 9/Jul/17
The Pine analogy only goes so far as a legit six footer will be more likely to drop a fraction. Jude can easily look over 5'10" of course, so 5'10.25" is possible, I'd say a better chance than with Daniel Craig, though it's fair for both. But I think it's more likely that an honest claim will just seem taller and that we should probably question other heights rather than just assume those are correct and others are taller than they claim. Someone on the Daniel Craig page mentioned Jude admitted wearing lifts at events, but I've never seen proof of this.
Slim 181.5 cm said on 5/Jul/17
Dmeyer, he could still be a guy who dropped a fraction and said 5'10. I agree with you Jude is 5'10.5 maximum. Defiantly not three quarters and above.

He deserve à 5'10,5 listing or aleast 5'10,25 , if he didnt claim any height you would have listed him 5'10,75-11 , probably. À ,5 FT 10,3-10,4 Guy , like Chris pine 6'0,3-0,5 and just says 6 ft

Hi rob, who would be the taller man between guy Ritchie and Jude law?

I think Ritchie could measure a bit taller, though Jude has always had a chance of being a bit taller than 5ft 10.

He could still be a guy who simply dropped a fraction and said 5ft 10.

@ Sen - What an amazing experience to have! I don't know what I'd do if I sat next to someone whose films I watch! I think taking in his height would be last thing on the list, yet it is something we can't help doing, especially if we see someone standing up right in front of us!
However, you did notice Jude's height - good on you for that! - and you reckoned he looked 6ft. I haven't read anything on his height to be quite honest, but I do have films of his, at least 6 at last count, and it won't be too difficult to compare him to Stephen Fry in 'Wilde', or 5ft3 Jennifer Jason Leigh in Existenz, where he does look tall! He also looks reasonably tall in the enjoyable yarn 'Closer', which also stars Clive Owen, 6ft1.5, Natalie Portman, 5ft2, and Julia Roberts, who is a debatable 5ft8.5-9!
I'll settle for 5ft11.25 for Jude, obviously pushed up as a result of your evidence and honesty!
Sen said on 12/May/17
I was on the same train as Jude Law on the way to Wembley to watch a spurs match not long ago. I am 5ft11.25 and he seemed to be taller then me. I would say he's touching 6ft. This isn't 100% accurate as he was a few feet away from me. He was also with a very tall blonde women around the same height as him.

At worst he's a weak 5'10". If he really is 5'9" flat he must wear lifts or at least thick shoes all the time.
RisingForce said on 29/Mar/17
Actually, the photos with Statham vary too much to draw much of a conclusion: Click Here Click Here Click Here So Jude could be 5'10" flat and Statham 5'8.5", but we don't even know if Jude's 5'9" claim was serious. There's a good chance he was joking about "feeling short" that day given the joke because frankly 5'9" makes no sense for Jude. IF he was serious then it'd be more logical to assume he was a 177 cm guy who was rounding down for effect. Otherwise, he must be a chronic lift wearer.
Guest66 said on 28/Mar/17
Maybe just got measured right in the middle of 5'9 and 5'10, therefore claims both. Otherwise there is simply no reason for him to claim 5'9 if he is 178cm.
Cameron said on 24/Mar/17
Yeah, I just really can't see him as a 5'9" flat guy. Maybe by night time he dips a bit below 5'10" and he was just being brutally honest. Either way he has the proportions of 5'11" guy so even this listing surprises me.

RisingForce said on 22/Mar/17
Jude Law simply looks way taller than 5'9" so I have to assume he was joking considering the context. I'd actually at least give him more of the solid 178 cm Daniel Craig and Guy Pearce get, possibly even 179 cm unless he can be shown to wear lifts. But since we've seen Jude with a good 2-3 inches on Statham, here's a funny pic: Click Here There must be something going on with the ground there. That's why I take everything outside of full body shots and video with a grain of salt. But until someone comes up with evidence Jude wears lifts, I have to say he usually LOOKS 5'10.25"-5'10.5".
Guest66 said on 20/Mar/17
Might be sub 5'10" really, people usually never claim less than they actually are, especially men. I think he said "I'm five nine" not without a reason.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 21/Feb/17
Really just a fraction taller than Damon, Rob?
Editor Rob
I think he is taller, a fraction, arguably half inch?
Revisionist said on 20/Feb/17
Dylan O'Brien is a very recent example of a guy who shortchanged himself (he should be in the Hall of Fame) and claimed to be only "5-9/5-10," but Rob has met him and has confirmed that he's a strong 5'10!" Click Here

There are extremely rare cases when average height actors downgrade themselves (slightly). Jude's quote can be taken to mean that he's a decent 5'10" but might be edging close to 5'9" on his worst day. I think that this revised listing is very fair. He's never looked anywhere near a weak 5'9" to me. At worst, he's a strong 177cm.
Editor Rob
if a guy like Piers Morgan says "Law's a strange little cove, isn't he? (And I mean little, he's tiny).", then there's got to be something in it...maybe he gives off a taller impression to some, a shorter impression to others.

Not sure why this guy was ever listed at 182cm, he looks just slightly taller than RDJ in most pictures. 175cm-178cm seems about right.

Ian, I think they both wore lifts in the Sherlock Holmes movies, at times they appear around the same height, at times Jude Law looks a couple of inches taller.

He doesn't look much taller than Robert Downey JR, so it's not surprising he's only 5'9". Although he's clearly a strong 5'9"

Nope. A real 5'10.5 man never looks like this with other 5'10 man from this camera angle.

If you doubt about it, then take a pic with your 5'10 friend from the same camera angle. You will notice it's not easy to be taken like this pic. I even think there is a possibility that his barefoot height is shorter than 5'10 but he just claimed shoe height.
HonestSlovene said on 29/Jan/17
@DefinifelyNotCC Nope, Jude LAW is just 5'10.5" and Fifty Cent about 5'11" (not 6'0") that is why they look more or less the same height. Rob previous listing was way better, he is 100% 179-180 cm (same as Brad Pitt).

Jude Law is a fine actor and a very handsome man. He is average height for a man: about 5'9".

Rob, how does he manage to look so tall ? i dont think he lifts, but he seems to favor big heeled shoes but you never know he could be using a sneaky half lift.
also a general question rob, whats the minimum height a guy has to be in order to give a tall impression with bigger than average shoes (no lifts or elevators) and a really good posture and other things that make you look and stand taller ? i think its 179
Editor Rob
you could make a case he can look more 179 than 178, I too thought he could look nearer 5ft 11 than 10, but the more I looked I think he is under it...question is if his 5ft 10 claim is a downplay or is he simply a very tall 5ft 10 who doesn't care about a fraction over it.
Darius said on 24/Dec/16
Rob, i know he looks taller onscreen but do you think there is any truth in his 5"9" claim?
By his claim of 5"9" and 5'10" i assume that he is not a fraction more than 5"10". Also i don't believe that he downgraded his height by a whole inch or more.
Editor Rob
never knew a 5ft 11 man who claimed 5ft 10 and 9...but it's of course not impossible for a 5ft 10 and change guy to drop a fraction. He might not care as much about height...might have been a bit over 5ft 10 and whoever measured him said 5ft 10.

That's always something worth considering if you are being measured - don't rely on what the nurse/doctor is reading out, check it yourself. They can make little errors now and then.

How come for every other actor if they claim a reasonable low we say "oh they can't be any taller than this claim! Nobody would claim anything lower than that" but with Jude Law we have to assume he's taller? If the guy says he's 5'9" he's probably 5'9.9" out of bed max. There's nothing wrong with that. Care to fill me in on why, Editor Rob?
BT said on 12/Nov/16
@Rob: Jude doesn't look 1.5in shorter than JT here, with similar footwear: Click Here. But then a case could be made for Timberlake at nearer 5'11 flat. Still I think Jude hasn't taken the questions about his height all that seriously in the past, I mean... he did basically claim 5'9 at one point, and he's clearly taller than that. He could well be selling himself a bit short with the 5'10 claim as well. I think if you were to put him under the stadiometer he'd be a little over 5'10.
flagsy said on 5/Nov/16
has to be minimum 5'10.5" and more likely 5'10.75"
josh jeffords said on 15/Oct/16
Jude law always figured he was 5 11 minimum he doesnt often look short and he can come off tall.
He is a clearly lanky guy so the 5 10 call is believable as a low he is not under average.
Compared to damon he looks 5 11 also hawke he convincingly looked a weak 6 ft.
Next to downey he looked a tall 6 ft but we all know downey is short.
He did not look at all short across from a mid to aging tom hanks.
He is no less than 5 10 .5 or a fairly weak bad posture 5 11 could be rounding down.
James B said on 9/Oct/16

Height Fan said on 3/Oct/16
Reference is being made to a 'weak' or 'strong" 5' 10"; either a person is 5' 10" or they are not, it is a matter of fact. Height is not measured by adjectives, but feet and inches or metres and centimetres.
guk said on 31/Aug/16
5ft 10 seems too low. He holds up too well against Michael Caine and 6ft 2 Richard e Grant to be a flat 5ft 10. I really think 5ft 10.5 is his absolute minimum despite what he has said (in jest)

Mat said on 13/Jul/16
@Rampage
The guy is a lift wearer, so he does care about his height. He just happens to be honest. I don't think Jude would have droped a whole half inch from his height. No one would. Maybe 0.25 of an inch...
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 5/Jul/16
"Jude Law's Height: 5ft 10½in (179.07cm)"


Not buying under that and Matt Damon is most likely 5ft9½-9¾ range more than a solid 5ft10er. Saw Talented Mr. Ripley and Jude is a solid 1in taller than Matt. Also more than 2in on Downey (5ft8) in Sherlock Holmes.

He claims 5ft 10.

Joseph is actually around 5ft 11.
James B said on 4/Jul/16
I don't really get why my uncle who is only 5ft7 himself described Jude as a 'little fella' when he met him in London. He would have a good 3 inches on my uncle. However when I walked past him in Paddington he defo did not look tall, very average actually but I guess pavements can distort things!

Maybe my uncle was jealous because when he met Jude according to him a lot of girls were swooning for him.
Scott said on 3/Jul/16
Lol. 5' 10". He's a strong 5' 11". RDJ was wearing lifts in Sherlock Holmes, and Jude is the same height as near six foot Josep Fiennes in Enemy at the Gates.

I still stand by my 179 cm estimate. He looks strong average or slightly over average as opposed to just plain average (177 to 178 cm).
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 15/Jun/16
Rob, surely you can't have both Law and Matt Damon at the same height?

you could think of Law as a legit 5ft 10 range, Damon as being a potential weaker 5ft 10.

179cm. Look at the old photos with Ewan mcgregor when they were roommates before they would give a toss about Lifts etc. Also law could just be rounding down to 5'10.

Yeah I can see this more then 5'11" I actually wouldn't be shocked with 5'9", like he did say I'm 5'9" and then said some days I feel 5'9" and sometimes 6'0" I actually thought Matt Damon looked taller then him in more scenes then Jude law, and the same height in the talented mr ripely.
bam said on 11/Jun/16
I always got a 5'11 and change impression. I think his odd comments about height speak volumes. He's 5'10 and wishes he was 6'. Thus he wears a bit of a lift.

i had thought of him being somewhere like 181-182cm

really surprised with his claim, but i think he is not really 5'10(177.7cm) but he is something like 5'10.25 or a little above that

there is no way he is the same height as matt damon and manu bennett

plus, if he is really 5'10, then robert downey jr is way below 5'8!!!
FM said on 9/Jun/16
I think he is somewhere between 5'9 and 5'10". He claimed 5'9" which you can take as him deadpanning, but I think more of an actual statement.

Morning height for him is probably just under 5'10". Can't see him much taller than that.

He also looked about 2cm taller than Guy Pearce on the red carpet and Guy is 178cm...
Mat said on 17/May/16
@Andrea

No man claims to be shorter than he is, unless he doesn't know or care about his height and takes a guess which is rare. So, if Jude Law looks 5'11 and specifically claims he is 5'10, then he is 5'10 and that's why he has to be downgraded. If he looks 5'11 and claims 6' his quote isn't really of importance because everyone adds inches to their height.
Arch Stanton said on 17/May/16
Piers Morgan Andrea, yeah, I find him impossably arrogant and obnoxious. He's one of the smuggest guys on TV. I do think he has a lot of issues, that's why he always goes for job which give him power. A power freak, probably a complex about size too.
Andrea said on 17/May/16
Yeah, what if Pitt came out with 5'10??? Would you give him that mark?
Editor Rob
I doubt he would...maybe Law is just being honest.
MD said on 17/May/16
I've seen only one concern listed below that I agree with, and it's that it's really hard to imagine Daniel Craig being listed taller than him. I saw the picture, below, but it's not enough evidence. I'd always argued that Craig was shorter than his listing here, probably by around half-an-inch.
CS said on 16/May/16
Fair enough Rob, he definitely is a tall 5'10 if that's indeed what he measures. I suppose his height is one of the tricky ones. I imagine this page will be receiving a fair amount of activity now due to the large and unexpected downgrade. It appears people are already talking about it.
Leung said on 16/May/16
I'm not buying that he's 5'10". 5'10.5" I think is more realistic.
Andrea said on 16/May/16
I agree, CS! Just look at Terry O'Quinn... He was listed at 6'1.75 4 years ago, he came out with 6' and he suddenly got a 6' losting... I'm not trying to attack you either, Rob, i know you do a great work with this site but at times it seems that celebrities' claims can "completely" change your mind... And this is a good thing for people who lie about their height because they can get the benefit of doubt (just because they come out with big claims) and get an optimistic listing!
Editor Rob
Tracking over 8,000 people is a big job, so it's an ongoing process. If in doubt, give benefit of doubt. If more evidence appears then changes can occur.
Mat said on 16/May/16
Has anyone of you who is still trying to defend an over 5'10 listing for Jude seen his freaking footwear?? His always in high heels and boots. His claim of 5'10, while honest, is also indicating HEIGHT AWARENESS. He is in lifts quite often, he almost admits to it with these quotes ie '' I'm only 5'10 and 6 foot is perfect so that's why I'm wearing big shoes '' is what he meant combined with his older quote.
Andrea said on 16/May/16
Lol, who is this Piers Morgan guy??? It seems he makes fun of every celebrity's height... The funny thing is that he claims to be 6'1 and he looks at least 2 inches shorter than REAL 6'1 Barack Obama... He seems a bit complexed guy.
Editor Rob
very well known in the UK, and to an extent in America...but I do think Piers posture at times is up and down, so he's got to be somewhere in 6ft range, he did say "Jude Law's a strange little cove, isn't he? (And I mean little, he's tiny)"
Dmeyer said on 16/May/16
You use to think not less than 5 ft 10,75 , wath if Pitt claims 5ft 10,25 would you change the listing
Editor Rob
Pitt, like Cruise isn't saying anything about height for years.
Dmeyer said on 15/May/16
Rob you use to think 5ft 10,75 wasnt enaugh for him wath happened
Editor Rob
he genuinely claimed 5ft 10.
Dmeyer said on 15/May/16
Even if 50 is only 5ft 11,75 there isnt solid 4cm between them
Mat said on 14/May/16
so rob, do you think his low would be in the 177-78 range or 178-79?
Editor Rob
still a decent 5ft 10
CS said on 14/May/16
Rob, tbh it's a bit disconcerting to see him downgraded a full inch. I'm not arguing with the decision, I just don't like the fact that he appeared 5'11 to you and others but he really was a full inch shorter this whole time and you didn't pick up on it until now. I don't mean to sound like I'm attacking you but this sudden revelation slightly shook my faith in this website's accuracy, which up until now was very solid. It's one thing if he was 5'11 (180 cm) and you decided he was better at 5'10.5 (179 cm) but a full inch difference (2.5 cm roughly) is a big amount to be unsure about. Again, I don't mean to sound like I'm attacking you, I just was startled by this rather large change when compared to other standard changes you make of a quarter inch or so.
Editor Rob
the heights are still guesses. I'd totally forgotten about this particular article until the other week and on looking at Law closely I think giving him his claim is reasonable.
kevin said on 13/May/16
oh man thats a big downgrade, for my taste bit too harsh, i would give him at least 179cm, flat 5ft10in seems too low
Dmeyer said on 13/May/16
Maybe hé meant 5 ft 10 And change
Dmeyer said on 13/May/16
Rob hé is noticably taller than Matt Damon hé holds. His own near Kidman in heels hé looks 2-3in taller than 5 ft 9 Statham , the smallest i can see him is 5 ft 10,5 , rob you use to think 5 ft 10,75 wasnt enaugh And that hé looked anywere 179-81cm range , that is à big downgreat to me hé more oftenly look near 5'11 than 10
TJE said on 13/May/16
I second with AJ. Jude's been bouncing between 5'10 and 5'11 for a while now and he can look an inch shorter than Jake Gyllenhaal.
Johan said on 13/May/16
Ah finally he got downgraded. Always looks near this listing imo - 177-178cm when in normal footwear.
Arch Stanton said on 13/May/16
Rob are you sure on shorter than Daniel Craig? Seems a little hard to believe. I always thought 5 ft 11 was a little bit high for him but I thought 5'10 and change most likely. He looked a very similar height to Joseph Fiennes though, who Rob has at 5'11.5. Possible Law sometimes had a boost in his shoes?
Editor Rob
this is what he seems to be saying. Having looked at him I can see him being barefoot in that range.
CS said on 12/May/16
Wow, I did not expect him to get (such) a downgrade. I understand why he did though. Still a surprise.
AJ said on 12/May/16
While I don't disagree with sub 5'11", I think 5'10.25-10.5" better suits him.
Andrea said on 12/May/16
I haven't seen much of him but you always said he looked near enough 5'11, Rob!
He can look not that much shorter than Clive in pictures, certainly not anywhere near 4 inches but again it's not a big shocker, considering Clive never looked as tall as listed to me...
Editor Rob
maybe when piers morgan said jude law was tiny, he meant physically a thin guy and not as tall as expected.

But yes, I have thought he can pull off 5ft 11, but then maybe he is an honest 5ft 10 range...
Mat said on 12/May/16
Truth be told, this is one rare instance Jude Law has looked 5'9 : Click Here

Here he looks about the same with Craig: Click Here
Mat said on 12/May/16
Hey rob, do you think he looks 5'10 with Gyllenhaall here? Click Here
Editor Rob
in the other angle he can look 5ft 10 range...
Mat said on 11/May/16
Rob? what's with this new quote? did he claim that he is actually 5'10?? why don't you give him the listing?

Is he wearing a lift here?= too? Click Here
Editor Rob
it's not really a new quote, but rediscovered from when I added old comments back into the database...I'd forgotten about it myself but yes, he's there admitting to 5ft 10...
maybe at times he has a little helper in his shoe.
whocares said on 28/Mar/16
Go to the robert downey Jr. page compare their heights even if RDJ is wearing lifts jude could not possibly be more than 5'9 at best 5'9.5. Rob Kindly correct the assumption you have put on the title to a 176 cm
Arch Stanton said on 19/Mar/16
Rob didn't you like Alfie (2004) or something? I reckon that's his biggest role, though Talented Ripley the bigger film. I thought it was very good, though second half weaker than the first half. Tomei was in that too, that's why I watched it but her role fairly minor so not worth mentioning on her page.
Editor Rob
not watched it all, but yeah I sneaked it in.
gangsta said on 18/Mar/16
this guy i think 5'10
James B said on 13/Mar/16
5'10.75 could be on the money rob?
Editor Rob
I'm sure he can on occasion look that mark...but more often I think about 5ft 11 suits him.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 31/Jan/16
179cm at worst. Generally looks close to 5ft11
a said on 14/Jan/16
he was 5'11 at the start of his career and lately he seems 5'9. I seen him in photos with Jake Gyllenhaal and he looks 5'10 tops
lelman said on 3/Jan/16
I seriously think this is a fairly generous listing. I think 5'10.5" is far more accurate, maybe even 5'10.25".
Dejavu said on 9/Dec/15
I wouldn't be surprised if Jude Law is a lift wearer. He can look anywhere from 5'10 - 6'0 next to Michael Caine.
Ian said on 10/Nov/15
Good looks and pretty decent actor aswell. He's a tough one to pin point. Yes, he can look 5'9 at times but i still think he's taller than that. I've seen him listed as high as 182cm which is a bit of a stretch in my opinion. Personally, i think a weak 5'11. To me he looks 178-179cm most of the time but 180cm out of bed is very much possible.
Prince said on 4/Sep/15
Jude Law is 5'9" because he said he is 5'9". It's amazing he admits to being that height cause most people who are 5'9", famous or not famous claim to being 5'10" or even 5'11". I'll say it's possible he got measured at 5'9" and perhaps he was measured incorrectly, either because he was slouching or they didn't put the measuring level on the top of his head and rather the bottom edge. I think it's possible that he is 5'9 3/4 or even 5'10' if he wasn't measured correctly. He's at least 5'9" barefoot and at most 5'10".
James B said on 26/Jul/15
When I walked past him in london he struck me as being around my height. I am a legit 5'7 and to be fair that day I did wear thick trainers boosting me to 5.7.5-5'8 and he was hunched in posture.

Maybe my memory could be a bit hazy since that was like November 2013
Hypado said on 14/Jun/15
Jude Law height is 5ft 11in (180 cm)

A legit 180.4 cm guy. No doubt.
Damon said on 14/Apr/15
Jude law is 5'10.5"
