How tall is Paul Mescal

Putrescent said on 21/Nov/24
Rob, I now think Paul is more like 5ft 10 flat. He is 1.5 inches shorter than a shrinking Denzel who is probably 5ft 11.5 by now.

Good stuff, he does look 5’10.5 at most.

@Putrescent

Solid findings. I was just about to comment on how Mescal held up in that first pic as well as next to Farrell (beat me to it). This listing seems fair for now, good downgrade by Rob

Rob, here are three photographs of Paul with Colin Farrell, who is an established 5'10, although perhaps a tad under it:
1) Click Here
2) Click Here (same event)
3) Click Here (different event)

In the photographs, it is clear that Mescal, each time sporting a thicker heel on some sort of boot, looks exactly the same height as Farrell, which does not lend credence to 5'11 at all. On top of this, he looks a full two inches shorter than Bill Nighy, who is listed at 6'0 on the site, but is likely below that now, considering he is almost certainly the same height, or slightly shorter than the just under 6'0 Austin Butler (who is admittedly sporting a thick heel), here:

2) Click Here
3) Click Here and
4) Click Here (Butler's footwear).

Here a couple of disparate photographs of Mescal and Nighy where once again, Mescal is at least 1.5 inches shorter than the at most 6'0 Nighy, whilst sporting a larger heel:
1) Click Here (the footwear is clearly considerably larger)
2) Click Here

I certainly think a reappraisal of his height is in order. To my eye, 5'10 - 5'10.5 at most, somewhere in between, perhaps.

He looks shorther than zendaya on heels

Seen him once in his home town maynooth about two years ago, from standing next to him he was maybe 1-1.5cm taller than me, I’m about 178cm flat in the evening

180 cm.

A bit short of 5'11 seems like a distinct possibility.

5ft10.75 could be a good fit. In The Decieved he looks around 5ft11 with Emmet Scanlan, other times a bit under it.

Rob the actor next to him is listed as 6ft, he consistently looks 2inches taller than Paul in the series, of course the chance he is underlisted a bit and footwear isn’t always the same.

But I personally think Paul is max 5’10.5 and obviously nothing under 5’10. I think we all agree he is not a strong 5’11 guy and he can’t be any taller and we’re arguing about fractions here I just think maybe a downgrade is in order.

Been a bit obsessed with watching Normal People which for a debut performance he was unbelievable in.

The 179cm average for Irish men is measured, but the study was done in 2014 and only used 18-year-olds. So it's a 'young men only' measurement.Click Here

5'11" is a bit too high for him.

BTW, I think the average height in Ireland in the media is self-reported as opposed to actual measurements.

FiveEightJake said on 25/Jul/20
Rob is he bang on the height of an average Irishman for his age, is the reported 5'10.5 an accurate figure for the Irish?

He looks quite average in Normal People, they seemed to cast a lot of the men a few inches taller than him which could be intentional I guess. Looks a solid 5'10 guy I thought, 5'10.5 seems about right.

Fantastic actor. One for the future I think.

Rob:How much height her height with the heels how much height difference is this? He seems like 5ft 10.5 to me

Miss Sandy Cowell said on 3/Jul/20
Well, Rob agrees with Paul's 5ft11 but the majority of voters don't!

I will go with the expert's eye:

5ft11 😉👌
