Top of the morning, straight out of bed, with a nice platform on the shoe I could hit about six feet, but probably, usually walking around I'm a lot closer to Five-Eleven. Which is really, it's not great. It's not great. The difference between Five-Eleven and six foot, it's so disheartening feeling like you're right on the cusp.

Simu looked slightly shorter or taller than Ryan Gosling depending on the angle in Barbie. Same footwear. Ground could be uneven.

He can claim 180 and nobody would question it. 182-183 would be quite noticeably off.

I’ve noticed a lot of people this height like to claim 6ft. 5’10.5 seems to be the minimum to “pass” for that mark.

Definitely not a thing over currently listed, and I think he's shorter, honestly. He also obviously wears some kind of small lifts during certain appearances.

Straight out of bed he must be 5'9.5" at best and 5'9" in the rest of the day. Needs downgrade. Look at his pictures with Wong.

I honestly think he is 5’10.5, in two different links below standing side by side with Benedict Wong, it clearly shows Simu is a little taller by a quarter or half. Benedict Wong is already listed as 5’10 and quarter

I believe that Simu Liu wakes up at 181 and walks around comfortably between 179-180 for most of the day. I don't see him dropping below 178. He can look shorter at times in pictures due to posture. Definitely in the average range in Western Countries when it comes to younger men.

Adding to the below comments. His 6’0 in shoes morning height claim is really interesting. He said he is 5’11 morning and with a pair of shoes he hits 6’0.

Out of interest, Rob, how tall do you think Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, the actor who plays Mr Kim in Kim’s Convenience, might be? He’s listed in a few places at 5’10”, and if Simu is as listed, then I could personally see that sort of figure or slightly below (perhaps 177cm, a similar height to myself?), but I wasn’t sure what your thoughts were?
I’m not really sure, to hear honest, as it seems to vary; sometimes, I find he can look very close in height to Simu, yet other times he can look more noticeably shorter. For instance, when he stood next to a “life size” cardboard cutout of Simu’s character in one episode, he was noticeably shorter and even commented “was Jung really this tall?” and cut off a section of the cutout to make it closer to his own height…
What are your thoughts, Rob?

Hey Rob, how tall do you think Destin Daniel Cretton is? I thought I saw some people throwing around 6'1 for him. He looks to have anywhere from 1.5 inches+ over Simu, although unlike you I feel like Simu is at least 5'11. Also, Destin holds up extremely well with Florian Munteanu.
Has he listed his height somewhere like Taika Waititi?

I guess he can have 179-180, 5'11 in the morning, 5'10 solid before bed, that's my bet. I saw someone mention Hudson Yang. Looks like Google has a lot of inches to update for the kid. He is listed as 5'10 but he's mentioned as being 6'2 on some article I read about the up and rising star, and I say 6'2 is closer to the truth than 5'10 for Hudson! What do you think Rob?

At least with this pic, it is hard to see 5'11" being an accurate listing. I could do 5'10" taking into account possible footwear differences and angles, but that's about it.

Very good looking guy and a really great role model, much needed for young Asian Americans who are underrepresented!
Looks about the same height as Jamie Fox (5’9) in a recent picture together. They are too close together (it actually seems Fox edges him by a little, to be honest, but there could be footwear differences and angles we can’t see) to be giving him a 2-inch edge over Foxx. A previous photo of him with Serena Williams (also 5’9 presumably) appears to give him an edge, although the camera angle and her posture could be deceiving the 1.5 inch gain he seemef to have over her.
I would downgrade his listing to 5’9 1/2 - 5’10. I think it’s unlikely that he’s 5’11.

Rob I'm not doubting that this guy is between 5 ft 10/11 with my guess being in the middle at 179cm, but why does he only look 5 ft 8/9 in the pic above is it his proportions.

Yeah he's definitely not 6ft. He has a lot of pictures with Jeremy Lin, and there's always at least 3 inches between them. Sometimes 4 inches.
He also had a picture with Benedict Cumberbatch yesterday at San Diego Comic Con, and looked shorter than him too.
I've seen interviews of him over the years, and he's a bit cocky to the point where I think him inflating his height is possible haha.

Oh, so another star from 'Taken' has crossed my path today, the other being Terence Stamp, who celebrates his Birthday today. I have a copy upstairs which I still haven't seen, but I do know the film very well.
At 5ft11, Simu is tall enough to be manacing, but in all honesty, I've seen MUCH smaller guys do menacing just spot-on perfecto 👌!
Anyway, I'm sure that Simu's part in 'Taken' does take the scary, creeped-out route! I'll just have to watch it when my new telly arrives! 📺😋
I'm loving the colour of his suit! ⚡🐦
