Editor RobThat's a really good guest they got, did you think he was roughly around your height when meeting?

5 inches shorter than nicholas hoult. 5'9.5 now and 5'10 peak is what i will give him. btw i was watching strange days a couple months ago and there wasn't any real good height scenes with sizemore.

Ralph is a perfect 5 ft 11 inches (180 cm) tall (at his PEAK HEIGHT) & certainly NOTHING MORE! I wouldn’t even add a cm more. If anything, Ralph is closer to 5 ft 10-and-three-quarter inches or even 5 ft 10.5 inches (179 cm) tall. I say a ‘perfect’ 5 ft 11 as he’s my v favourite actor when I compare him to all the ones acting today. I would like to meet him as I think he would be such an interesting person to chat to.

Wishing quality actor 👌 and one of six children, Ralph Fiennes, a Very Happy 57th Birthday. He has four brothers, including actor Joseph, another actor of distinction, and two sisters. I have just seen a picture of their father and Ralph is the image of him!

He's a solid 5'11. He seems to dip his head down a lot and do weird leaning postures rather than Daniel Craig who is always standing straight as an arrow! Besides I think it's clear Craig wears lifts, they're 3/4 inch apart it wouldn't be so difficult for Daniel to appear 1/4-1/2 inch taller/same height with a little boost.

More like 2 inches standing upright but that puts the 5'11 or taller stuff to bed. I really curious how he looked with Tom sizemore in strange days. There seems to be different opinions about that. I will stick with 5'10 till I watch the film.

Ralph looks all sweet and innocent here, which is more than can be said for the schweinhunt he plays in 'Schindler's List'!
Standing next to Liam Neeson, not a great many people are going to look very tall (except for Christian and Canson, of course!), but you CAN see that Ralph is of well above average height next to the great majority of the rest of the cast.
5ft11.

Editor RobIt's arguable...a guy like Ralph I think could have lost a fraction today, though if you watched his Bond film with Andrew Scott, you could see he still looked well over 5ft 10 with him.
Gracian said on 28/Mar/18
I think Ralph at the age of 55 could have lost half an inch, he looks much shorter than 10 or 20 years ago... But he used to look like a 181cm guy! Here are some other proofs:
With 6'1.5" Danny Huston: Click Here
With 5'8.25" Cate Blanchett (Cate has big heels): Click Here
With 6'4"-6'4.5" Liam Neeson: Click Here
Click Here
In my opinion, the peak height of 5'11.25" and the current height of 5'10.75" would be a better list for Ralph. Rob, I think it's time to update the Ralph list.

I thought he generally could look closer to 181 cm in his younger days, opposite Liam Neeson in Schindler's he definitely didn't look under a solid 5'11. At 55 he could have lost a small fraction - certainly his posture isn't that great. Maybe 180-180,3 cm today and something like 180,8 cm in his prime.

He gives an impression of being rather tall without appearing outright lanky. The kind of 5'11 man that can look close to 6'0, just like Hugh Grant.

Awesome! Like you said Rob, 1/4 inch loss is possible. He actually does look tall in the 'Harry Potter' movies (then again, not everyone is tall except a few of them!)
He'd make Johnny Depp's 5'11" claim look childish really!

Does look to be in the solid 180cm range most of the time. He's a bit of a height chameleon, because he can look both under and above it at times (for example in Red Dragon he looked pretty close to 6 feet).

Yes, this is about the right sort of height range I would have guessed for Ralph Fiennes! I first really took him in as a great actor when I saw him play an unbelievably contemptible part in 'Schindler's List'. He also played a nasty piece of work in the films 'the Duchess', 'Red Dragon', 'Onegin'....and the list goes on!
I have seen him as a troubled soul in the film 'Spider', and he was marvellous in 'the English Patient'. I recommended this film to my Dad and he thanked me!
Ralph is one of those actors who can turn his acting skills to any type of role - just as long as it isn't a mundane one!

In Grand Budapest Hotel, face to face with Adrien Brody at the funeral to Madame D. , he looks a full and solid 5'11". Looks usually pretty tall, I don't see this guy under 5'11". Maybe 5'11.5" at peak, but he's still not under 5'11" today. in In Bruges, he doesn't look that much shorter that 6'1.5"" Brendan gleeson, solid couple of inches but really not more.
Wonderful actor, good humor, sensitive and cultivated man, a nice artist!

I go a little back on what I said previously...Fiennes may not be as short as 177 cm (5 ft 9.5 inches)...but I still can't see him as 180 cm (5 ft 11) tall compared to full on 6 foot (183 cm) actors such as Edward Norton & Adrien Brody...when Fiennes has been around these 6 ft tall actors, he always seems like 4 or even 5 cm shorter...perhaps 178 cm (5 ft 10) or 179 cm (5 ft 10.5) is a better fit for his height. I find him as watchable as Brody & Norton - maybe one reason why I love The Grand Budapest Hotel so much as all three actors are in it....besides, it's a v dreamy, fantastical film even without those 3 crazy actors in it!

Next to Uma the angles are not particularly meaningful. I think he would still measure a solid 5ft 11. I guess facing Neeson he could have a slight footwear advantage. Playing a Nazi he should wear military boots and Neeson regular shoes.
Besides, we all know our beloved 00510 is an elevator guy..

Rob, you got it wrong with this one, Fiennes always looks around 5 ft 10 (178 cm or even 177 cm) in publicity shots & tv interviews. I wouldn't go on the films as camera angles are used a lot more to distort real height.

I think Fiennes is more a 5'10.5"-5'10.75" range guy, I'm more convinced that he was always a tad under the 5'11" mark. I don't think he's at an age yet where he's lost much height. Very similar height it seemed to Daniel Craig, but Craig may be have a bit extra footwear in general.

I am a fan of Baron Cohen (probably a much more pleasant guy off-screen than Norton is!) but I was enough with his manic, attempts to squeeze humor out of silly, phony accents when NO ONE else is speaking w/ them in these big movies after Sweeney Todd, Hugo & Les Mis, it's just a little tiresome IMO!

@Arch Stanton: I don't think he looked 3 inches shorter than Brody in 'The Grand Budapest Hotel'. At times I saw about 1.5in, but I could be wrong as I payed more attention to the great dialogues than the heights... Ralph I think could be edging his way towards 5'10.5, but I'm not sure he's there already.

Norton was bad casting though Sam, it needed somebody like Sacha Baron playing that part with an Eastern European accent. Norton is too monotone American.

Absolutely superb at dark comedy in The Grand Budapest Hotel. Surprisingly great! One thing though, he looked much shorter than Adrian Brody, like more 3 inches than 1.

Rob, could you add Quiz Show, Strange Days, The English Patient, Red Dragon, In Bruges, Skyfall, The Grand Budapest Hotel and the Harry Potter films?
He's a really diverse actor and yes top knotch in Grand Budapest, I'm not a fan of some of the movies above though. I think it's possible he's really a strong 5'10" guy rounding up. Liam Neeson towers over him both in 90s and today and I thought he looked maybe a couple inches under Edward Norton in Grand Budapest.

He's certainly not much smaller than what you have him listed, but I'm thinking he's more in the 5'10.5" range. He's definitely not a full 5'11", even taking into account his habit of bending his neck. A good and refreshing thing I can say about him is that he doesn't appear height conscience in the least.

He tends to lean and slouch when posing for pics, so I understand that he might appear under 5'11 at times to some people, but I am convinced he is 180 cm range when standing his tallest. And come on... "5'10 max"?
Rob what is the lowest you'd argue? Personally I wouldn't go under 5ft 10.75in at the moment. He's always appeared a solid 180 cm guy to me. In a few years he probably could dip to 179 cm range, but he doesn't seem to be there yet imo.

You know I'm starting to think all the heights on this sight are totally WAY OFF --there is no way f'n Ralph Fiennes is 5'11 if as you've also listed Gerard Butler is only 6'1!!! Gerard in all these pics looks at least 3 inches taller than Ralph --so either Gerard is 6'2-6'3 OR Ralph Fiennes is probably 5'10 --I'm inclined to believe that Gerard Butler is really tall cause he looks it. Check any of these pics --where in fact similar footwear but Gerard is slouching while Ralph is straight and Gerard STILL looks 3 inches taller! Click Here

I met him very briefly. I'd say 5'11" is spot on when he's out of character but can slouch heavily when acting.
The height thing is intentional in Schindler's List. That film is very carefully made so it's not a coincidence that an average guy looks so tall and Neeson looks like an absolute giant. I don't know if it was lifts or careful positioning and camera angles. It's symbolic, especially when Schindler falls on his knees and is surrounded by the Jews, being figuratively and literally on the same level, in the same situation they were.

Fiennes looked over 6 ft in Schindler's list, like around 6'2". I guess he must have been wearing huge boots with lifts in them. All of the German/Nazi actors (like Liam Neeson) in that movie looked really tall compared to the Jewish actors.

I just saw The Reader, and it was hard to tell. A lot of his time was spent alone. In Strange Days (one of my favorite films), he wore cowboy boots for the whole film, and he still seemed shorter than Tom Sizemore, who I believe is listed here at 5-11. I think that he is between 5-10 and 5-11. If he were really 5-11, they would list him at six feet! (By the way, as always, he was FANTASTIC in The Reader! He deserved an Oscar Nomination. One of my favorite actors.)

Taylor,
I agree that a lot of people don't know how tall they really are. I am one of them. When I first went into the US Navy at 17 years old, I was measured at 5'8". That was 23 years ago !!!. Since then, I have always said I was 5'8" when asked. I never had it checked again until a few months ago when I stumbled on this site. I got measured, and I was actually a solid 5'10" at mid day. What a surprise.

I am not sure if he is this tall. Maybe more in the 5'9"-5'10" range. In GoF, the graveyard scene, he stands next to Jason Isaacs and it looks like Isaacs towers over him. I know Fiennes was not wearing shoes and Isaacs was, but if they are the same height it should not have been that big of a difference.
