@Nik let’s be fair, the guess be a half inch off isn’t too bad, most people don’t notice that difference

5ft11.75 is the most I'd guess him as. He looked a bit shorter than Terry Wogan on Wogans show when they met. Also has claimed 182cm a few times,5ft11.5/5ft11.75 ranger for me. Matt smith type height. I'd rule out the full 6ft.

I find in person the group in 1991 during its trip in South America ( Chile ) and Im obtained several pictures with them, Morten about 2 cm taller than me( I have 1.80 ) so Im nearly sure he have 1.83.On the other hand Maggs reach more than 1.90 ( I believe 1.93-94) and Pal 1.89-90 m

I once stood right next to him, I'm 5ft 10 and he was easily 3 inches taller than me, I was looking up at him. He's 6ft 1.

Magne Furuholmen is no more than 6'1.25. You tell me how that's a 6'-6'1 man next to a 6'1.25 man.

A ha book by Jan Omdahl says Morten's height is 1.82m about 5'11.5", Pal also 1.82m and Mags is 1.86m about 6'1.5" tall. There you have it. Excellent band, one of the greatest bands in popular music's last 25 years, check out their 9 albums.

Keep in mind that scandinavians, especially norwegians and Icelandics are often taller than they look... Or as they say: Foreigners are often shorter than they look. That Morten is 6ft (1,82,5) is no surprise to me. This is about average height for grown men between 20 and 60 in Norway. The only statistic is pre-army screening at age 17, where the average is 180-181 including the shorter sami and ethnic immigrants. Ethnic norwegians are late bloomers. It is actually safe to say that the dutch still didnt catch up with etnic scandinavians.

I've seen A-ha in the last week on their final UK tour. Influenced Coldplay, the killers, the Script groups like that. Great band, amazing talent, they were great live. One of the top selling acts of all time, played to 198,000 people in Brazil, a record for a paying audience.
Morten - 6'0", Mags - 6'2" and Pal 6'0".
Their music will be covered many times over in years to come.

When I saw the video for Take On Me I guessed he was more like 5'10, but I think that was because of how thin and young looking he was. But man I agree he is good looking, straight up handsome. He makes me wish I was a teenage girl in the 80's, lol.

The average male height in Norway is 5'11" (180 cm). I am a 5'9" (175 cm) Norwegian male and I'm pretty much the shortest male everywhere I go. Went to NYC last year. For once, I felt somewhat tall. For instance, we do not have 5'7" male police officers in Norway.
I've seen Morten Harket twice. He is listed as 185 cm (aprox. 6'1") on the Norwegian site Filmfront. My guess: 183 cm/6 feet.

I met him in 95 in norway, I'd say 6 feet on the dot. it's funny, but I noticed that most norwegian men seemed to tall, at least the average must be 6 feet.

I love this man have done since the 80's ,great voice and looks and have seen him in concert too.I would agree that morten is 5'11 and he tends to wear ankle boots with a good 1 inch heel on them so that would make him 6 feet tall.

I've met Morten on several occations (I live in Oslo), and he's about my height - 6 ft. I've bumped into Magne once - and I think he's taller than me.
Btw: Many of you seem to think that people shrink a lot. Well, that's not always the case. I've been measured 'professionally' three times: 181,5 at 19, 182,9 at 27 and 183,4 (!) now, at 39.

He is pretty buff, so he may look shorter than 182...I dunno. Recently he's looked more like 178 to me.

In a-ha's first Norwegian biography, it said 183 cm for all three of them. Magne Furuholmen can seem a bit taller, because of his sometimes very curly hair.

Magne/Mags looks taller than 186, I think he's in the 190 area. Maybe 188-189.

I don't think he is 185cm or more. If he is, than with normal shoes he would be 187-88cm plus with the hair, especially in the 1980's with his high james dean hair, he would come off as a 190-191cm guy and he didn't give the impression of being that tall. I think that 183cm barefoot in the 1980s and now 180-181.

I've read 1.83 for Paal Waaktaar earlier and think 1.86 is a little stretch even if I know he has been listed that too. I think he and Morten are the same height, 1.83-1.85. Morten looked the same height or maybe 1 cm taller than me and I'm 183,5. Magne Furuholmen is 1.88-1.90 and usually understates his own height.

Official A=ha heights from 1985 were 1.83m for Morten and Pal (guitarist) and 1.86 for Mags (keyboards). Morten has always looked a chunky 6 footer.

Thanks Rob! I will now shut up ;). Hope to get pictured with the man to have this height precisely proved, but will not give an unattainable promise either..

Never under 6-0. About 6-1 is also my estimate. He is geniuenly tall. Not VERY tall, but tall.

Also remember seeing him perform at last years Live 8 concert. He did appear to be a legit 6-1 on stage. Hes clearly not below 6-0 though.

I'm telling you because I've seen him up close at a gig in a pub in Coventry where I live, he's 6'1". Mags is taller, over 6'2" and I have a photo of them standing together, there's an inch or two in it. Regardless, he's the most disarmingly handsome man I have ever had the pleasure of laying eyes on. He has perfect proportions, a human work of art.

He was described as "183 CM." in a recent edition of a weekly Norwegian magazine. And in that Live at Valhall DVD he looks about 6'1". I highly doubt he's under 6'.

My sister used to be crazy about A-Ha when she was young. We had a magazine that said Morten was 1`82. The other A-Ha members were listed as 1`86. Morten could be 6 feet tall.
Good band A-Ha. I also used to like them

Wow, I'm surprised you guys have made taking a picture with Morten! However I think he might be a bit over, probably a full 6 feet or even 6' 0,5. I could ask his cousins sons friend (yeah, its complicating) if he knows for sure.
