He didn’t look much shorter than Ewan in the Kenobi series, I can buy 174 but at most.

Editor RobCan pull off 5ft 9.5 there. Maybe she has lost a bit in posture, but he could turn out to be the one taller. I suppose with Barry Keoghan he also looks near 5ft 9 there.

Editor RobI copied the quote from his twitter when adding him in 2016.
I should add that you can see Kumail did a few big purges of tweets, deleting about 20,000 and 8000 on two big occasions.

That comment is kinda vague, is he saying he is or isn’t 5’10”?

Editor Robin other words he probably claims 5ft 10 knowing he's under that mark, hence he's a fake 5ft 10er.

Rob, you upgraded him more?

Editor RobA solid 173 range is probably what he could measure.

Hey Rob, it's quite apparent that he's wearing lifts in these pics next to 176 cm Richard Madden right?

tom, agents will always "suggest" to actors that they give at least their morning shoe height. In which case, Nanjiani is actually spot on 5'10."

They ask him his height in this video (Click Here) and he says five ten, 'rounding up from nine and a half', but he has a sceptical look on his face. I sometimes wonder if celebrities are forced to lie about their height, it's strange.

everything we kno about height is a lie
everyone rounds up and adds 1-2 inches depending on shows
5 -8 becomes 5-9.5/5-10
5-10 becomes 5 -11.5/ 6ft, etc

Yeah, he's a witty guy. He can look near 5'8" flat at times. Not much between him and Fred Armisen when Kumail pops up on Portlandia and 2-3 inches between him Thomas Middleditch I'd reckon.

Gotta give it to him. Fake 5'10 has a better ring than 5'8.5.
