Yeah, beyond Peter Dinklage, lots of the other main cast of Game of Thrones is not that tall, i.e. Kit Harington, Sean Bean, Alfie Allen, Richard Madden, Emma Clarke, etc. Certainly, guys like Nairn, McCann and Whyte raise the average though.

it is a tall cast, but the best character for me happens to be the smallest!

This is how I look with my grandma whose 5'4 - 5'5 and I'm 6'5 so yeah this listing is correct.

What do you think Rob? I don't know where you got your figures from guys but if you seriously think there's as many as 20 million men over 7ft in the world you live in cloud cuckoo land. There's probably only about 50,000 men over 6 ft 7 in the world let alone 20 million over 7 ft!! I'd say it more likely to be nearer 2000 men in the world over 7 ft actually.
[Editor Rob: there will be several thousand worldwide in 7ft range]

he look 6 foot 8 and just for say for to be a giant in the world it starts at
6 foot 1. its 70% more tall that almost people. 6'5 84% 6'7 87% 6'10 96% 7 foot 99% 7'6 100%.
Globally, 6'1 is on the 98-99 % percentile.

Seriously Emil? He looks a good 4 inches taller to me.
#15 has a camera angle advantage and therefore he looks taller han 6'5 next to Rob.
Nairn, however, has a large head and the camera is probably straight. And Rob's estimation is the one I trust the most, just like you.
Lorne??? said on 26/Sep/13
Ok, 6ft9 is believable, only because of his head size. Looking again, he's taller than Cudmore, but not by much. Nairn looks nearer 6'8 a lot.
Sam said on 20/Sep/13
He does seem to have short arms for his height, but that's only when you look and compare them to Rob's. I doubt their wingspan is such a massive difference like there is the height difference. At least the size of his head makes up for it.
Arch Stanton said on 19/Sep/13
Seriously Emil? He looks a good 4 inches taller to me.
Lillo thomas said on 18/Sep/13
Well arch stanton 6-7 is very tall and 6-8 is almost a giant in the usa . 6-9 -10 is the start of giant range in the USA. 6-6 is very tall but not a giant . 6-6 guys will look short next to real giant guys like 6-10 or 6-11. I was posting that because some people are saying in this site 6-6 is a giant .
Emil said on 16/Sep/13
@Rob, he looks no more than 1-2 inches taller than #15
Editor Rob
remember he has about 1.5 inch longer head that 15.
Arch Stanton said on 16/Sep/13
@ Lillo. I saw an interview with Greg Davies the other day and he said "6 ft 7 and above is officially classed as a giant and I'm 6 ft 8". This guy is more than just very tall, he's a giant clearly, look at the size of his head!! He's just not 7 ft + freakiness.
Lillo Thomas said on 10/Sep/13
6'6 isn't a giant . Lol 6'6 is very tall .
Sam said on 10/Sep/13
I would say any guy over 6'10 would be considered a giant, just the same as anyone under 4'10 is considered a small person. An average height of 5'10 is bang in the middle of that, so a whole foot taller/shorter makes the most sense to me, at least that's my take on it. This guy is borderline giant, however what difference does an inch make when you're that big? In person I am sure he could easily pass as such. The guy looks fricken' huge.
avi said on 9/Sep/13
@Ice says on 8/Sep/13
Ice not true!!! My arms aren't the same as my height. Them explain how 6'5 basketball players can have 6'10-7'0 arm span. Wingspan has a deviation if at least 6 inches. I agree Nairn's arms seem to be 6'1 guy's.I explained why I think this could be.
@LG69
no giant is 6'8+ if you have to duck doors you're way bigger than most. Maybe 6'7-6'9 is giant territory and 6'10+ is giant? Rob said 6'6 to 6'7 is start of giant territory. Used to be 6'5-6'6 but obviously more people are 6'3-6'4 range nowadays so it pushes it up a bit
Emil said on 9/Sep/13
Ice says on 8/Sep/13
Emil says on 5/Sep/13
Arm length is not really proportional to your height, but yes, Nairn is quite particular. But he sure looks like a nice fella
Of corse arm leangth is porportional to height !!
No, it isnt. Arm pit to fist is not proportional to your height. Do you ever watch boxing? It is very common that a 5'6 boxer has the same arm length as a 5'9-5'10 guy and verse visa. Look at Floyd Mayweather. His arms are the same length as Wladimir Klitschko's even though Floyd is 5'7 and Wlad is 6'5-6'6. Finger length is more proportional to height, arm length isnt.
miko said on 9/Sep/13
More a weak 6'9 than a solid one. I'd say someone like Kevin Nash would edge this guy out.
Lorne said on 9/Sep/13
This is much better. He can certainly look no more than 6'8, but I think he could measure near enough 6ft9, especially afternoon time.(a guy like this could lose 4cm in a day)
avi said on 8/Sep/13
@Lo sgozzatore says on 6/Sep/13
You yourself said that seeing with other congoers he really didnt look over 6'8! Anyway, 6'9 is much better than 6'10. I wouldnt be surprised if a guy like him woke up at 6'9.5 and dropped to 6'8 by evening...
Yeah I still think he'd go about 1/4 over my 6'8.25 doorframes I think he can seep below 6'8.5 on a bad day. I would have dropped him to 6'8.5...maybe Rob will if he sees him again Rob seems open to 6'8.25-6'9 its so hard to pin such an enormous giant of a guy down to the very .25 of an inch, but we're making progress!

I believe the 6'9 claim. He's a big guy
LG69 said on 8/Sep/13
@JimB, I had a classmate who was 6'6". He was the tallest person in our school, but I wouldn't consider him a giant. Tall? Yes. Giant? No. There is another website that specifically lists giant's as 7 feet or over. In fact, Andre the Giant is on their list--just qualifying at 7 feet. Although, I think Andre would qualify as a giant even if he was 6'11" because of his sheer girth.
Lillo thomas said on 8/Sep/13
The listing is now accurate . This guy looks like a legit 6-9 . When he says 6-10 , he is claiming his height in shoes .
Blaze said on 8/Sep/13
I would love to be this tall, 6'8-10. I'm already on my way at 15 and nearly 6'5
Mathew said on 7/Sep/13
Ok he doesn't have LONG arms for his height but can you guys really not see that his left arm is bent? His arm would be significantly longer than Rob's rather than slightly if he simply straightened his elbow.
Scott five eleven said on 7/Sep/13
Just over a foot difference in my opinion. 6'9 seems spot on! Has a 'gentle giant' look in person.

avi said on 5/Sep/13
@ice and Fred
I think my wing span is 5'10 and I'm 6'0. I think when it happens means you're not supposed to be that tall and outgrew your potential. Like this guys arms stopped first (like most people) and he was probably supposed to be 6'5 or less and he grew almost 4 more inches due to some fluke or hormones/additives in the food. He may not be genetically tall. Wonder how tall his relatives are.
But feet are 11.5 so that's accordant to my height. Weird...
JimB said on 5/Sep/13
An adult over 6'6" is a giant so does it really matter whether he's 6'8" or 6'10"? I thought it was only us shorter and average height people who are to be singled out to be made to feel insecure about our height?

How does he look as tall as 6'9, to you?
Editor Rob
I think 6ft 9 is a good shout for him
Mathew said on 4/Sep/13
6'9" is a good listing. He looked 6'8.5" with Big John, but I think giving him the 6'9" is ok.
Fred said on 4/Sep/13
Ice, you're right. His arms are bizarrely short for his height. They're only slightly longer than Rob's. Look at this edit I made:
Click Here
I knew a guy who was like 6'2 with size 7 feet. So I guess you will get the odd really tall guy with short arms for his height.
MBU said on 4/Sep/13
What you don't see is the size of his head. His head is so much larger than a normal one, that a lot of height is in his head, giving the impression of being shorter, just like with Andre the Giant.
Balrog said on 3/Sep/13
Well done Rob I can buy 6'9" although 6'8" range is a possibility aswell.

agreed 6'8.5 is fair i think but no more because Rob informed us his posture was greater than most who stood next to him, even Big John may be dropping 1/8 inch
Sam said on 3/Sep/13
Nairn comes off as a nice guy in interviews...loves to DJ on the side. I don't think Rob has to worry about getting into a fight with this 6'9" range, 350 lb+ guy.

hey Rob over two years ago i was measured at 180cm i was barely 19yrs old then, what do u think could possibily be my height.meanwhile i think i have added a little because my head now touches my doorframe which previously was not so. thanks. waiting fro ur response.
Blaze said on 2/Sep/13
nairn is 207cm I think. he is a giant. imo 6ft is where tall starts, 6'4 is where huge starts, and 6'8 is when giant starts. 7ft is where alien starts. I'm 6'5 so if I was a full grown adult i would be called huge but since I'm 15 I'm called a giant
Connor 184cm said on 2/Sep/13
I think 6ft 8.5 is too low nairn is at least almost 6ft 10 207cm is more likely his range
avi said on 1/Sep/13
@Connor
Do you realize rob is dropping over inch in height? Look at 6'1 big John picture with Nairn. He's under 6'9 but 6'9 flat would be a gift. He can claim it though cause no doubt in morning he is strong 6'9
Connor 184cm said on 1/Sep/13
@Phantom my stepdad is 6ft 5 1/2 6ft 5 or over is very tall but i dont think its quite considered as a giant yet, 6ft 7-8 is when giant terriotry starts i believe. For Narin i think 6ft 9.5 is what he looks.
Lillo Thomas said on 31/Aug/13
Phantom a legit 6-6 or 6-7 guy is huge but I would describe this height as very tall height . When a guy is about a foot taller than average is definitive a giant .
Fern194cm-192cm said on 31/Aug/13
I strongly believe he is 6,8.5 at best. Not even a legit 6,9 here. Rob, are you gonna downgrade him?
Phantom said on 31/Aug/13
@Lillo Thomas
Anyone over 6'5' would probably be considered a giant by most people outside of the NBA in the US.
Ras said on 31/Aug/13
Mathew says on 25/Aug/13
Figuring that this big John guy is 6'1", which looks right given some of the other pictures he has compared to celebs, I'm seeing maybe about 6'8.5" in the photo with Kristian. I just don't see 9" there.
Call me crazy, but Kristian looks closer to his claim with Rob than he does with Big John, the top of Big John's head reaches Kristian's tip of the nose,and that's usually 6 inches! Now, I know that estimate is of no use here because Kristian's head is bigger than normal so his face features are larger, IMO he is 6'8.75".
Ras said on 30/Aug/13
I think 6'8-6'9 is closer.
avi said on 30/Aug/13
@blaze
Haha but Rob is actually weak 5'7 here! But he could be 6'9 I agree but he's probably 6'8.5
@Rob
Would you say he has 7 inches in Big John or 8? 7.5 looks tops right?
Editor Rob
between 7 and 8 yeah
Lo sgozzatore said on 30/Aug/13
Rob, if your friend is max 5'8 and he's able to reach Nairn's chin, how can Nairn even be 6'8? I mean, could this guy's head be a foot long? I dont think so. Maybe, he's just having bad posture with your friend?
Editor Rob
the 5ft 8 con goer has a small head, kristian's I'd put about 11 inches long (not including any double chin, but just to end of chin bone)...so he can definitely look no more than about 6ft 8 with people, there was a 5ft 7 guy who looked about the same as me in his photo.
Lillo Thomas said on 30/Aug/13
I don't buy this guy at 6-10 with Rob but he could be a legit 6-9 . By the way a legit 6-9 is in the giant range . 6-9 6-10 is the start of giant in the USA.
Sam said on 30/Aug/13
I think up in this range, it's hard to estimate. This guy coul really pass for around 6'9" but not over. Probably needs a slight downgrade.
Blaze said on 29/Aug/13
that right there is me with 5'3 ppl and I'm 6'4-6'5. he is a legit 6'9 or 10
Ali Baba said on 29/Aug/13
His head looks to be right around an inch longer than Robs by using the screen on my phone to measure them. His head looks bigger than that because it's also wide. Because of the size of his head and where Rob's friend comes to I would put him around 6'8" or a touch over. I would accept Red's 6'8.25" guesstimate.
avi said on 29/Aug/13
@Rob
Is it also possible Big john may not be standing as straight as Nairn?
Editor Rob
I think he probably stood better with a very tall guy like nairn, but I didn't see that one, I did see him standing with Clive Russell and didn't slouch or anything...although clive wasn't standing at his tallest with him (or with anybody I saw really).
Bard said on 29/Aug/13
Some people seem to including his double chin as part of his head...his actual chin starts about 2-3 inches above Rob's head. I'd say at least 6'9.
Larc 74in said on 28/Aug/13
Definitely 6'8 range Rob, Peter Mayhew is still taller than this guy.
avi said on 27/Aug/13
@Lo sgozzatore says on 26/Aug/13
6'8 range is probably closer... Remember Rob is like a 170 guy here because he's loosing 3 cms in posture... And Nairn really doesnt look over 6'8 to me. Remember that Peter Mayhew has 2 inches and plus over him. And Mayhew is listed at his same height
good point 6'8.5 is fair i think maybe claim 6'9 but he'd be a weak one. i think you are right he LOOKS 6'8 zone but may measure 6'8.6 or something weird. if that Big John guy really isnt over 6'1 then you are right he could be strong 6'8 at most, look here:
Click Here i think you are on to something he may be 6'9 in morning and 6'8 by mid afternoon
@Rob
[Editor Rob: I'd have to add 3cm to my height as I'm dropping height in my back here.
what's probably more interesting might be another guy I know who isn't over 5ft 8, look at him standing normally beside kristian Normally with Nairn...up to his chin]
so you would probably go over his chin! this proves it i think if this guy is 5'7.75 only.
Arch Stanton said on 27/Aug/13
Height difference does look very similar with Kingma. I'd guess 6'9.5" too. But seriously anything under 6'9" much less under 6'8" really is too low. If you really think this guy is weak 6'8" you really have little idea of height.
Lo sgozzatore said on 27/Aug/13
Where i see rob at the bottom of nairn's head? You read the post or not? Rob posted a photo of a con goer who isnt taller than him and stands straight (unlikely rob) and easily reaches his chin! I highly doubt this guy is over 6'8 range, cant buy 6'9 and forget about his 6'10 listing!
Editor Rob
yeah the other con goer is 5ft 8
Radd said on 27/Aug/13

He isnt taller than you? Thats what i'm saying! If he reaches his head and his head is max 11 inches, 5'8+11 inches is 6'7, maybe 6'8 with good posture. How the hell can he be listed 6'10? Then if you want to have a 6'10 listing for him, that's fine. But there's noway in hell he's a big 6'10 guy
And where do you see Rob at the bottom of his head?? Rob needs at least 2 inches to reach the bottom of his chin!! So that makes it 13 inches at least!
avi said on 25/Aug/13
Lo sgozzatore says on 24/Aug/13
If Rob stayed up straight he'd barely reach the chin so let's say fine 6'8 1 foot taller since head is 11 and Rib would come 1 inch under chin if matched Nairns posture. So 6'9 tops seems right maybe weak 6'9?
@Rob
Yeah so its noticeable difference but you didn't say would you be 1 inch under His chin if you'd stood proper?
Editor Rob
possibly. For a big guy he did stand decent in a lot of the photos in this shoot...better than when he walked about.

Nairn's posture isn't great. Clearly he aint as low as 6'8" or under. He has an easy foot on Rob, I see about 13 inches in the photo, and remember that Rob isn't a flat 5 ft 8 either. You could argue 6'9" or 6'9.5" but he definitely looks too big to "only" by 6 ft 8. Scott Schwartz is around 6 ft 8 and this guy looks bigger.

So how much are you dropping? If you stood like him you'd be only 1 inch under the chin I think...? There's maybe 2.5 inches between your head and chin.
Editor Rob
I thought maybe 3cm,
actually today I took a photo with an actor and dropped a bit to show the difference in a photo if someone else of similar height (i.e. Jenny) was there:

I can't see this guy under 6'8". That said, I was kind of surprised when when the last height challenger was only 6'5.3" or so.
Editor Rob
the last height challenger was 6ft 5.25 on the stadiometer, so really 6ft 5 and 1/8th because of the error.
Alex 6ft 0 1/8 said on 24/Aug/13
Sometimes hard to tell when the height difference is that much. The guys head looks to be over 10 inches in length. I wouldn't go below 6'9 for him
Emil said on 23/Aug/13
Unless his head is 35 cm long I cant see how he's 6'10, Rob?
Connor 184cm said on 23/Aug/13
I used to think Narin could be 6ft 8 but nah i think 6ft 9.5 is likelier if measured on a stadiometer or tape measure he would be at least 207cm so not far off his claim.
Arch Stanton said on 23/Aug/13
Rob he's Northern Irish.
Lo sgozzatore said on 23/Aug/13
If that guy is a 5'8 and he reaches Nairn's head, let's say Nairn has a 11 inches long head (i doubt that's longer), how the hell can this guy be 6'10? I mean, 5'8 + 11 inches is 6'7...
Editor Rob
the guy isn't taller than me
vegas said on 23/Aug/13
rob you have probably seen this guy around (seeing as he has attended the same events) and if so what is your estimate on his height, looks 6'0.5-6'1 to me in the most of the photos (though shorter and taller in some)

big john isn't a guy I speak to, but yeah I seen him around for years and he always looks like a 6ft 1 range
Arch Stanton said on 23/Aug/13
Yeah I know, when guys are as big as this it's easy to overestimate. But if you consider that Rik Waller the Pop Idol reject was once 31 stone as was darts player Andy Fordham, this guy at 6 ft 10 surely has to be over 25 stone...

I agree Arch, I always take Rob's word even when the subject looks shorter. But not only does this guy not look 6'10, but Robs dropping height in his back. AND Rob said he would be shocked if he was 6ft8. To me, that just isn't something you can slip by. IMHO, 6ft9 would be much better, though I understand it is hard enough to judge height at times, much less when the subject is a foot taller than you! But, if he hadn't claimed 6'10, I doubt Rob would have listed him as such.
Rusty said on 22/Aug/13
im roughly 6'3" and weigh only 170lbs and this guy is easily more than double my weight. he could be close to 400 without doubt
chuckles said on 22/Aug/13
6'8" no more
JT said on 22/Aug/13
Click Here The guy’s clothing may make him look heavier than he really is but he’s still likely well over 350 lbs.
LG69 said on 22/Aug/13
@avi, I guess it's a matter of opinion, but most people i know think of giants as 7 feet and over. This guy is certainly tall and massive, like Andre the Giant but not quite that big.
Arch Stanton said on 22/Aug/13
Rob would you think this guy was around 400 lbs then? Challenger 15 had to be 350-370 pounds I reckon.
Editor Rob
there's a chance he is high 300's, but sometimes weight can be deceiving.
Arch Stanton said on 22/Aug/13
Over 400 lbs? Crikey!!
Lo sgozzatore said on 22/Aug/13
Even with Big C you kinda lose your height because of the low camera... So its not much different!

This guy is close to 400lbs. He's 6'10!!! 6'10 300 is very slim and clearly he isnt
6'10 230 pound Evo Karlovic is very slim. 300 pounds even for 6'10" is by no means slight of build.. Some of the muscular 6'10" basketball players are 260 pounds.
Lorne said on 22/Aug/13
No way. Your dropping height, and he doesn't really look 6'10. You shoud drop him to 6ft9, since that's what he looks, and you wouldn't be surprised if he measured 6'8.(note that I can see 14 inches, MAX yet your dropping height...)
Dago Red said on 21/Aug/13
I work with a guy who is 6'6" 300 lbs. and Nairn dwarfs him. This cat is close to 400 lbs.
Jody said on 21/Aug/13
My husband is 6'10" and 300-330lbs. This guy looks about 30% bigger/wider/thicker than my husband, if not more. (My husband is normally proportioned, and looks like an average-sized person, from a distance. He doesn't have thick hands/fingers, a big jaw or supraorbital foramen, or anything out of the ordinary. He's not thin...300lbs!!...just not really "thick", like the gentleman in the photo.) So, in terms of weight, my guess would be closer to 400lbs.
Duhon said on 21/Aug/13
It would have been interesting to have seen him next to andre the giant? If andre had ever been next to someone near kristian's size?
Arch Stanton said on 21/Aug/13
Googling him he doesn't look that fat, I'd guess around 350 pounds, although it is possible he has gained weight of late, he does look bigger in this pic than normal. Not sure he'd be heavier than Challenger 15 who in comparison surely as a much higher body mass index.
Arch Stanton said on 21/Aug/13
He looks 6'9" ish in the photo but it's just a photo. People can easily look an inch shorter in a photo, his posture isn't great. If Rob says he looked near the 6'10" you better believe it!!
Arch Stanton said on 21/Aug/13
Holy crap, what a beast! Looks like he has Viking blood in him to me.
LG69 says on 20/Aug/13
Huge man! Closing in on Giant territory. He is 6'10" for sure! Looks to be about 350 lbs.
Closing in? Rob did you consider him a giant in person? He looks a giant to me rather than just being a big guy. And yeah, I bet he'd outweigh Challenger 15 a bit. What do you think Rob, would you guess him heavier than Challenger 15? He looks close to 400 pounds to me.
Editor Rob
probably 20-30 pounds more

300 lbs is hardly "very slim" even at 6'10". That said, you're right in saying this guy is well over 300.
avi said on 21/Aug/13
@LG69 says on 20/Aug/13
He us way past giant territory 6'6 is start and 6'8 is where you have to duck for many things. So this guy in the 6'9 area is solid giant. 7'0+ are the extreme giants.
Balrog said on 21/Aug/13
Shaquille O'Neal is 7'1" and listed at 323 pounds and he doesn't looks SLIM. 350 is possible but 400? Get real people. And I don't think this guy as a 6'10" more like a 6'9". 6'9" and 320 it's heavy.
GIO said on 21/Aug/13
Nah, he's not close to 400 lbs. I know a guy who is 6'6 and 320 and he is a fair bit larger than this guy in build. If this guy is really only 6'8 or so then he might be 280 or so.
Brad said on 21/Aug/13
I'm 6' 8" in boots, that's not 6' 8".....he's as listed.
Mathew said on 20/Aug/13
Looks 6'9"-ish to me.

Jon said on 20/Aug/13
He is huge and has a massive head , but i don't really see a 14 inches difference there. also a friend of mine who is 207 cm and has around 260lbs ( 117-8 kg ) and if i was to compare him with this guy in terms of weight kristian could be very close to 400 pounds if not somewhere below or above
LG69 said on 20/Aug/13

avi said on 20/Aug/13
@Rob
Think you should put him at 6'9 til we get evidence to support yes closer to 6'10? I think he's a weak 6'9 but I think you should put 6'9. Hus 6'10.5 claim is in shoes I'd bet.
roberto180 said on 20/Aug/13
definition of tall and massive...huge guy with infinite head...definitely imposing 6'9 for him
Jordan said on 20/Aug/13
320? I would say easily 375. A man who is 5'10 with that frame would weigh nearly 300. 6'10. Thats 400 Folks.
Lo sgozzatore said on 20/Aug/13
Rob, how long would you guess his head is?
Editor Rob
I'd say close to 11
jtm said on 20/Aug/13
not sure about 6'10.
Connor 184cm said on 20/Aug/13
Rob how tall would i look next to Kristian? do you think 6ft 8 is more likely for him than 6ft 10.
Editor Rob
he could be between the 2
miko said on 20/Aug/13
Maybe he's 6'10 in his footwear? Which would put him at 6'8.5, which is the highest I'd go for him.
Lo sgozzatore said on 20/Aug/13
So if you meet a guy who claims 6'2 and you think he could be 6' range, you give him 6'2 just because he claims it? Or you do this just because this guy is too much taller than you?
Editor Rob
would you want to get on kristian's bad side ;)
pages have comments to allow discussion
Emil said on 20/Aug/13
Hmmmm.... He looks 6'8 range judging from this pic but then again, his head looks to be 10-10.5 inches long, and maybe the camera perspective gives the impression too.
He can be anywhere between 6'8 and 6'10
Fern194cm-192cm said on 20/Aug/13
I'm gonna be honest here. I don't believe he is anything over 6,9 mid day. I think 6,8.5 suits him well. Huge guy either way. But he doesn't look 6,10 next to you rob. I know A 6,10 dude and beside a 5,8.5 guy he would dwarf him a couple more inches. I do think 6,9 would be fair though. Peter Mayhew who is 6,10-6,11 these days (proof of his height is his pic beside ross Sambridge. Mayhew has 2-3 inches on Nairn. Did he look 6,10 in person ROb?
Editor Rob
I know I didn't stand as well here, another 5ft 8 guy I know stood better than me and in his photo with kristian he is 1 inch under his chin which would fit more with a 6ft 8 guy with an 11-inch head...my 6ft friend, I saw him get his photo and he looked around Nairn's mouth
6ft 10 in shoes might be his height, because of his extra weight he walks about smaller than 6ft 10 and can look smaller.
JT said on 19/Aug/13
Click Here Looks around 6'10" with shoes.
Gordon said on 19/Aug/13
How big would you estimate his head (I would assume 10.5-11')?
Editor Rob
yes in that range
Balrog said on 19/Aug/13
Rob what about his weight? 310-320 pounds?
Editor Rob
probably mid 300
Yaspaa said on 19/Aug/13
His head is very large and he's well over a head taller, in the pic anyway.
Viper said on 19/Aug/13
miko says on 19/Aug/13
I can't buy anything over 6'8 for this guy.
Yet you think Rock is a comical 6'3. Funny.
Id say he looks at least 6'9.
Alex V. said on 19/Aug/13
My guess:
Kevin Nash - 205cm
KRISTIAN NAIRN - 206cm
Kingma - 207cm
Big Show - 211cm
Balrog said on 19/Aug/13
Rob, he could be 6'9" range but I doubt he's under 206cm.
Lo sgozzatore said on 19/Aug/13
Rob, what's the min he's gotta be? I mean, i saw that famous pic of Arnold with Wilt Chamberlain, who's supposed to have been 216, so about 30 cms difference and it looks like there's much more difference than here (where you should be 35 cms shorter!)
Editor Rob
it wouldn't be surprised if he was 6ft 8 range, but he claims 6ft 10...
Lillo thomas said on 19/Aug/13
This guy look 6-9 max in this pic.
Fern194cm-192cm said on 19/Aug/13
Rob, is he dropping any height in your photo?
Editor Rob
he stood pretty well with people in this shoot.
miko said on 19/Aug/13
I can't buy anything over 6'8 for this guy.
josey wales said on 19/Aug/13
He doesnt have the lanky frame of say wilt chamberlaine and as such can give the impression of a shorter man. But that guy is 6'9"-6'10". Would love to see a pic of him and big Show for comparisson..
Connor 184cm said on 19/Aug/13
OMG he is HUGE!!! he absolutley dwarfs rob what a giant could be 7ft depending what shoes hes wearing but yeah probably is 6ft 10 barefoot his hands his head just enormous the top of my head would probably only reach his shoulder and im only just over 6ft!.
Larc 74in said on 19/Aug/13
He's 6'8 Rob, with Peter Mayhew he looks at least 2inches shorter.
Duhon said on 19/Aug/13
Haha this pic looks almost like an exact inverse of the pic with Rob and Dinklgage. You can see them both side to side on the homepage.
Freddy said on 18/Aug/13
Rob, do you think he's 6'10? If so then you'll have to upgrade Peter Mayhew to 7'
Editor Rob
both about similar range in person I thought, well, mayhew rarely stands last 2 years.
Balrog said on 18/Aug/13
He does seems similar to Michael Kingma. Giant guy.
jasperwazup said on 18/Aug/13
what was the difference in shoes Rob. did he have a slight shoe advantage in the picture
Editor Rob
I don't think much different
Michael Elam said on 18/Aug/13
Quite a different situation this time, than last time with Peter Dinklage, huh Rob? ;)
Editor Rob
shows the range of height that can exist.
Yaspaa said on 18/Aug/13
Wow, I knew he was big, but 6'10, I wasn't expecting that.
Brah said on 18/Aug/13
Looks shorter than 6'10". 6'8" maybe. What did you think Rob?
Editor Rob
there's a chance he's under his claim.
splashman said on 18/Aug/13
Hodor? Hodor!
lelman said on 18/Aug/13
Good god he's massive! Tallest guy you've met?
Editor Rob
Michael Kingma is close in height, but Ian Whyte is several inches taller.
RoelC said on 18/Aug/13
He was ~2 inches shorter than an old Peter Mayhew, who's listed on this site as 6'10" aswell. Nairn also looked inches shorter than 7'1" Ian Whyte.
Click Here
avi said on 18/Aug/13
could be 6'9... theres at least 12.5 inches here probably solid 13 inches.
Tall and Muscular said on 18/Aug/13
He looks 6'8 on this photo.
JimMorrison said on 18/Aug/13
Looks about 6-8, dont you think?
josey wales said on 18/Aug/13
i'd buy 6'10" for this guy
Kyuss said on 18/Aug/13
looks it imo.
Lo sgozzatore said on 18/Aug/13
Rob, could he be between 6'8 and 6'9? There's a pic with Peter Mayhew and he looks a couple inches shorter!
Mike said on 18/Aug/13
Did he look taller than Kingma in person?
Blargh said on 18/Aug/13
So awesome that this is right next to the Peter Dinklage picture on the front page...such a stark contrast.
little sue said on 18/Aug/13
Bloody hell!! big bloke, almost 2 foot taller than me!! I remember years back going to as work's dance and the first 2 tickets out of the hat had to get up and dance, it was 4ft 11 me against a 6ft 10 bloke!! the whole place collapsed in hysterics, the amount of obscene comments that were shouted at us, lol. I'm still blushing at the thought of it!!
