Weak 6'1 in the pic.
See no reason to not have topped out at 6'2 and change in his youth.

He doesn't look 186cm with rob. he has a 5'8 eyelevel TOPS making him 6'0.5". I'm sure he was pushing 6'1-6'1.5" in his youth. He's 70 years old with ROb and def Sub 6'1"

berta, I can see an argument for 6ft2 flat but I wouldn't go lower than that. Overall, I'd lean more toward 6ft2 and change peak than almost 6ft2. Today he's miles from it obviously...

Looks around 6-0 here. I’d say 6-2 peak. No more.

Looks a weak 6'1, 6'1 if he had a harder day than Rob.
187.5 cm for his peak height is the most i can give him

6'2.5" peak is a joke for him. I have to disagree strongly with this listing.

Rob, he's almost 70 years old. The average male by 70 will have lost over 1". Why is he the exception to not have lost any height? You can clearly see it in his neck.
Editor Rob
He was age 66 in this photo and just listed at what I think he was in the 80's.

@Patrick, that would make Rob 5'10 though, which he's not.

Is it me or this guy has excessively long hands. Him giving away an inch for Matthew McCaunaghey would do some justice ;))

Rob, if Kjell is no longer active, you might as well edit the description to "Swedish former weight-lifter and former actor,"

Editor Rob yes Christian, it makes more sense.

Figure he is 6'0.5 there, around 6'1.5 in his youth ( He is almost 70). HE is listed at 6'3 So a 6'1.5 guy with a 6'3 Listing is pretty typical.

Didn't you always give max. heights in brackets, with current heights next to them, Rob?
It seems you're being inconsistent in giving comprehensible heights.

Editor Rob if they were active in industry I would give current.
Danimal said on 30/Nov/16
You're way off on this one Rob. Looks MAX 6'0.5"-6'0.75" there. He is nowhere near 6.5" taller than you. 4-5" max.

Rob,
Based on the Pic Above he has you by a good 4.25inches. at age 67-68 he should have lost a good 1" I'd guess.

Rampage is right, Rob. Please give him a current listing. He looks no more than 186-187cm today.

Well, he's appeared at UK conventions and you got a photo with him where you can gauge his height, I'd count that has active. Obviously he's not doing movies anymore though.
Peak: 189-190cm
Today: 185-186cm

Editor Rob Rampage, I've mentioned it but since he's really been only active in 80's I just gave him what I think his peak could be.

Doesnt look over 185 with Rob(if that)...I can't understand some of your listings Rob,it's as if you purposely exaggerate the height gaps.

Editor Rob I never gave this guy a current height, just what I think he might have been in Mad Max, but today certainly wouldn't have said 189cm range.
MD said on 28/Nov/16
Must be the perspective in this shot, because he certainly doesn't look 6'2.5" here.

Editor Rob Andrea, this guy did look over 6ft, I think he could have lost 1-1.5 inches.
