Stephen Fry's Height
6ft 4 ½ (194.3 cm)
English actor, writer, comedian and presenter best known TV series Blackadder, Fry and Laurie, Jeeves and Wooster and films Wilde, Alice in Wonderland, I.Q. and V for Vendetta. On QI he said he was "Six four and a bit" and in his book "Stephen Fry in America" mentioned "here I am, in a nuclear submarine, all six foot four and a half of me."
He is the tallest actor I have played against and it feels like you are looking up at the Eiffel Tower. As a result you get a crick in your neck from repetitive strain.

There’s a dinosaur expert on Stephen’s Dinosaur programme called Susie Maidment, and she has to look right up to the actor/TV presenter! I wouldn’t say that Susie is a small woman, probably even a touch above average, but as with Christopher Lee, anyone standing with these tall guys looks small, especially women.

Hooray! I’ve remembered Stephen’s Dinosaur programme! He’s got such a lovely, expressive voice that he could make any subject interesting, but dinosaurs ARE very interesting. Wow! He’s even including CGI images in this….

I recently woke up from a dream in which Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie came to see me. We talked about music, including the groups we’ve seen and laughed non-stop!
Sometimes, I think being asleep is a better state of consciousness than being wide awake!
I didn’t see their heights because we were all sitting down.

I love Stephen’s advert for the animal programme, ‘A Year On Planet Earth’.
I enjoy nature, especially animals, and with Stephen doing the narration, this will make for perfect viewing.

His claim seems very honest. Definetly 6' 4 1/2. Altough he might have lost a bit at 65 years old.

Heeeeeey! Thanks to Stephen’s gorgeous pronunciation of the word ‘cigarillo’, my new little friend and I put on a great show for the Police when we went outside for a smoke in hospital!
Safia had learnt to say the word like Stephen, and she offered me a cigarillo, to which I replied, “Verillo!” instead of thank you! Then she offered me a light and I replied “Allimeatsio!”, which is another of my cat’s names. By this time, the officers were pizzing themselves. What followed was a bit on the naughty side, but great entertainment for the onlookers.
“Oh What A Night!” and yes, it was in late December! 🎼🎶🎵

I had a dream last night that I saw a young man of thirtysomething who was a dead ringer of Stephen Fry. I veered straight in his direction and found out that he was his son. The guys, including Stephen, were having a social evening and invited me to join them.

Stephen’s son was as tall as Stephen and equally as cuddly!

Stephen Merchant is all of 2 1/2 inches taller than Stephen Fry, who is the second tallest Stephen, but it’s going to be Stephen Fry who gets my comment - because I like him so much!
6ft4.5 though likely a touch taller in his younger days. 😁

Once I dreamt that I walked into a public house and just as I was about to put something on the jukebox, I spotted Stephen sitting at a table with a pint of Guinness, so I joined him and he was very nice....😁🍺!
Another time, I dreamt I popped into a pub for a pee 🚾🏃♀️ and noticed Stephen and lots of other celebs were at the bar, including Steve Buscemi and Tom Petty. 🎶 Needless to say, I invaded their scene and they were all great company!

The thoughtful Stephen is supporting a campaign to maintain subtitles, and gives a long list of the many who benefit from these.
He's after around £20,000 signatures. I tried to sign, but my Twitter address wasn't recognized. A little job for later on, I guess....

🔔 It was lovely to see 'Stephen Fry's 21th Century Firsts' last night. Although I felt in need of a nap, Stephen's ever interesting approach to all the new inventions of the 21st Century, which was presented in a 'run-down' form going up from year to year, was a must for anyone with an eye for the amazing progress that humankind has made in only a couple of decades.
It made me think if TV had been in existence 100 years ago, what sort of progress would they have been able to talk about then? The World was just recovering from the First World War, with so many lives lost, and the Second World War less than a score years away.
We feel infinitely more united as a people with the Internet, and how comforting is that now with the Covid 19 restrictions? I'm sure Stephen, who loves the Internet and takes an interest in everything, would agree that peace time is the biggest blessing of them all.

Hey Dream... btw, next to the wall with the painting, Tim looked taller than Fry, and further on the movie, when Fry is talking with Tim, he has to rise his head to look at him and Tim has also a big forehead.

Today, Stephen is 63 years old, I think it's time to peak height for him. Nearly 6ft 5 (6ft 4.75) was probably what Stephen could measured in the 90's. Here is a photo of Stephen with Tony Robinson from 1999: Click Here
Stephen might have had a bit thicker boots but he also had worse posture than Tony, and besides, Tony is closer to the camera. I also found a photo of Stephen with Julie Andrews from 2000: Click Here
Julie was 65 at the time, but she also wore heels. Rob, can you give Stephen the peak height 6ft 4.75 and the current height 6ft 4.25?

Fry gets a peak of 6’4.75” from me. In a couple of Top Gear episodes, Fry was close in height to Jeremy Clarkson. Out of those two, I feel, Fry seemed to be slightly taller, I haven’t discounted 6’4.5” for Clarkson’s peak but I think both men were practically 6’4.75” at their peaks. In A Fish Called Wanda, I saw about a three inch height difference between Fry and Kevin Kline in their brief scene together.

What a delightful way to round up an edition of QI! Here it goes then....
Stephen asked his four contestants, "How do we know that God is a civil engineer?"
The answer was "Because when He designed the human body, He arranged that the recreation area was situated next to the refuse area..."
Well, words to that effect. 😂😂😂
I've often wondered that myself!

Tim Robbins did look taller in IQ although no great scenes for comparing. This undermines the claim by some that Robbins was never really 6'5''as Fry himself must have been very close to this height at the time.

Guess who I dreamt about for the third time in a week? 😃👌
Yes, it was Stephen Fry and this time round, we were listening to sounds from the early Seventies. It made a pleasant change to listen to them with someone who actually knew who was singing, but then, he knows everything!
I couldn't get my DVD section of my TV to work yesterday - and I wanted to watch QI. I was ever so wound up, and that's probably why I dreamt of him. I've got it on now instead, and I've ordered another DVD. I might add that, unless you find them in a charity shop, they can really be Quite expensIve! As long as Stephen gets the profits, I'll be Quite happIe😝! 😁👍

If Stephen is 6ft 5 according to a lot of replies then John Cleese must be 6ft 6.5. As in one particular stage sketch Fry and Cleese met and Cleese was at least an inch taller. (Taking into account the fact there could be a difference in shoe heels).

"OK. Until this thing is over we've all got to be helpful, friendly and kind to each other, understood? Hatchets buried. Grievances forgotten. Disputes resolved. Feuds ended. Strangers smiled at. When the final whistle is blown we can go back to being mean and beastly. Agreed?"

I found on Stephen Fry's Twitter page that he'd sent along a video of a magpie posting a bottle into a recycling bin. He said that the little fellow was "...doing his bit to save the planet!"
What a lovely man, deriving pleasure from something like that! 😁👌
The other night, while I had one of Stephen's old 'QI' episodes on on the 'Dave' Freeview Channel, one of the contestant's funny answering jingles was an extra loud burp! I was doing a crossword at the time, though listening, but whenever I heard that noise, I looked up! 😂😂😂

Last night I woke up after a rather prolonged nap to find that the second film in the Tolkien Hobbit trilogy was on. It wasn't long before I had the great pleasure of watching Stephen Fry, complete with long red hair, making his first appearance. He asked his servant to poor him a drink - a brandy, I think - but the measure was thoroughly insufficient for this king-sized genius, who promptly poured himself a supersized glassful, more befitting of a man his stature! 🥃 ❌ 4!
I noticed as he walked along that he seemed to most definitely be suffering from the same piles that Blackadder Goes Forth's Fry character, Sir Anthony Cecil Hogmanay Melchett, complained about! 😂😂😂 This added a Stephen Fry-style touch of comedy to the production, and I'm in no doubt that Peter Jackson was all in favour of the idea!
Stephen looked even more of a giant in this than he normally does, because the movie contains dwarfs and hobbits, of course. It's hardly the best film from which to make an educated guess as to the man's height, but I have enough films and comedy boxsets which show him as he really is, so I don't think that 6ft5 would be overdoing things. 😁👍
Last night I woke up after a rather prolonged nap to find that the second film in the Tolkien Hobbit trilogy was on. It wasn't long before I had the great pleasure of watching Stephen Fry, complete with long red hair, making his first appearance. He asked his servant to poor him a drink - a brandy, I think - but the measure was thoroughly insufficient for this king-sized genius, who promptly poured himself a supersized glassful, more befitting of a man his stature! 🥃 ❌ 4!

I've just had the pleasure of watching the big, cuddly bear playing 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?' with his friend, the beautiful Nigella Lawson. They one an impressive amount of money, (£125,000) Stephen for an HIV charity and Nigella for a children's charity. What a lovely evening treat!
Stephen, who was a fair chunk taller than Chris, gets 6ft5. I hope he had a great Christmas! XXX 😘🎄🎅🎁☃️

Stephen plays Anthony Cecil Hogmanay Melchett to be precise, as we find out when, in 'Blackadder Goes Forth', as he plays Judge and dons the death cap to announce the death sentence for Edmund Blackadder - for eating a carrier pigeon! Apparently, it really was a Capital Offence for killing such a bird!
I said to my 6ft4 friend who used to come round with his Blackadders that it had a very tall cast and look, it has! Despite tiny Tony, the average man is well over 5ft11.

Last night on QI, the murder of Lord Darnley was brought up. (Darnley was married to Mary Queen of Scots, whose paternal grandmother was Henry VIII's sister, Margaret Tudor, which gave Mary claim to the British throne.)
Anyway, the surname 'Blackadder' was brought up and I believe this man had something to do with Darnley's murder. This statement was followed by Stephen's inimitable "Baaaaah!" 🐑😆

While watching Stephen, as Melchett, having a polite and amusing Festive conversation just now with Blackadder, I couldn't help but think, "Rowan, (as 'Blackadder') doesn't have to look right up to Stephen the way an average-sized man would. Stephen, who stood around 6ft5 those days, doesn't exactly tower over Rowan, though the difference is still stark staring obvious, so Rowan can't be THAT much shorter than Stephen and I reckon he can't have been unduly below 6ft at all when this was made!"
The caring and considerate chin-wag went not unlike this:
Blackadder: "Ah! Melchett! Greetings! I trust that Christmas brings you its traditional mix of good food and violent stomach cramps!"
Melchett: "...and the compliments of the Season to you, Blackadder! May the Yuletide log slip from your fire and burn your house down!"
You can't beat a good friendship!

Stephen gets his usual 6ft5, because that is what I see before my eyes, and Rowan looks just under 6ft.

Last night I saw Stephen playing Charles the First, a man reputedly of 5ft4! It is from 'Blackadder's The Cavalier Years', and Stephen spoke in our own Prince Charles's voice! It was very funny; I've heard that Prince Charles and Stephen are friends.
At that time, Stephen was probably 6ft5 - that's a whopping 13" difference to the ill-fated King!

The only time a Prime Fry (Good lord, that sounded odd) didn't look close to 6'5" was in two scenarios:
Fry looked an easy inch shorter than an aging John Cleese, but many people (including myself) would argue that Cleese was more of a solid 6'5" guy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fry did say that Douglas Adams was much taller than him though I think Douglas Adams could have been over 6'5", based on what John Cleese has said about him as well.

Editor RobI don't know if Fry really was what you call a solid 6ft 5, though at times he might have seemed it.
6ft 4.5 up to 5 is of course the most likely range. No chance only 6ft 4 flat or little chance under 6ft 4.5

I can't think of a more pleasing way of passing a bit of time at 20 minutes past 2 in the morning than watching an episode of 'QI' - hosted by Stephen Fry, of course!
This morning I did just that! The episode was called 'Denial and Deprivation' and was, of course, extremely funny as well as informative. Among the things up for discussion was the height of a yak. Stephen said they are 6ft5, and followed that with "The same height as me!"
That is the second time I have heard him say that. This particular episode hailed from 2006, so Stephen was 48/49, so I doubt he had lost any height yet. Now, 12 years on, he might be a quarter- inch shorter.
Today I shall give the great Stephen Fry 6ft4.75.

With his heavy build and bad posture Fry can be a hard one to pin down. However in Blackadder he towered over strong 5'11" Rowan Atkinson and always had a noticeable height advantage over Laurie, so 6'4.5" peak sounds right. At nearly 60 though he could be 6'4" flat.

In episode 4 of "Stephen Fry in Central America" Click Here he mentions at 24:35 that he's "about 106kg and about 195cm tall". I think it can be assumed that he has measured to that mark before. He comes across as someone who is completely unconcerned with their height, most men would say 6 5. I think an upgrade to 6'4.75".

Stephen Fry has a house fairly near my parents and I have briefly spoke to him before. Very friendly, he certainly towered me when I last saw him however he had footwear advantage which made him about 6'5 compared to my 5'11 in plimsol style shoes. I'd say if the two of us were bare foot there wouldn't have been as much of a difference I think nowadays he is about 6'4 maybe 6'3.75 at his low.

I once met Mr,Fry entering the toilets of the Groucho Club, London as I was leaving them in 1994. I'm 6'3" (1.9m) and he towered above me, stooping to enter the washroom. As I looked up with a cheery "Hello there!" he passed by me. I'd say he was good 6'5" including his hair.
I wouldn't dispute that he was towering but you aint 6 ft 3. He wouldn't look much taller if you are really 6'3". He looked near 6'5" next to Prince William.

As someone said, he's said before on QI he's 6'4, and he repeated this again during a recording I was at earlier in the year - looking at him compared to the other guests there at the time, some of whom I've met and have a relatively good perspective of how tall they are, I'd say that looked just about spot on.

He's been consistent with his claims. I've heard him claim both 6'4 and 6'5 on QI. I guess he knows he's 6'4.5 and sometimes rounds up, sometimes rounds down. He even said 6'4.5 himself once. He does look considerably tall. I guess it's possible he's gone down a fraction.

Where an earth did you get 6ft 6 from for Charles Hansons height, if he did quote that on the roadtrip that is a lie, I do appear to recall it quoted on his personal website and the bargain hunt website, the experts heights are all exagerated David Harper says he 6ft 3 he is only around 6ft 0. In a interview last month Tim Wonnocott see( wonnocott on Austrialian B H) said that charles was only 6ft 1 ( 186cm), he cannot be 6ft 6. Dan snow is 6ft 6 and on celebrity roadtrip was about 5 inches taller. I think that Charles has told misinformative to millions of viewers. Stephen Fry is taller than charles. It is the truth

Looks 6 ft 5 next to Prince William. He looks at least 2 inches taller than Prince William. Makes Prince William look 6'2.5" tops. I see about 2.5 inches difference, although I think William is slouching a little so I think about 2 inches. If you see Prince William and Arsene Wenger for instance, Fry has to be close to 6'5".

Ok, that makes sense. He always dwarfed Hugh Laurie in "Jeeves and Wooster" (and pretty much everybody else on that show). I always figured they were just a bunch of shorter Brits and that Stephen Fry was probably around 6'2" or so. I could never get a good read on Hugh Laurie's height on Bones because of his character's cane, though he seemed a bit above average, and I was very surprised to see on this site that he's around 6'2".

Funny it never occurred to me before that he was so tall. I guess it is because of his heavy build it makes him look shorter than a skinny guy would of the same height. I thought he looked about 2.5 inches taller than Jonathan Ross which would make him around 6'4" but if somebody says he was the same height as that very tall Tim Robbins this is easily accurate. ~~~~

One thing curious is that Fry looks always slouching; Robbins, Cleese, Stiles all looked one inch taller than Stephen but as soon as he puts a better posture, seems so tall as them. One case that i didn't see this was in Top Gear with Jeremy Clarkson where Fry looked so tall if not taller than Clarkson.

Actually if you look at this site and click on the links, you'll see a video (there are 6 links for 6 videos). In 3 of them (Moaning Minnie, Big Mouth Billy, Rulebound Reggie) Cleese and Fry appear together. Cleese looks to be the taller of the two. Easily an inch difference I'd say.

Yeah Rob, during that episode, Cleese looked cleary taller than Fry but close to the end, Fry putted a better posture and looked as tall as Cleese, (maybe Cleese is/was 1 or 2 cm taller).
I remember seeing a corporate training video at college, which featured John Cleese, Stephen Fry and Rik Mayall. After doing a little diggin' I found out it was called "Managing Problem People Series: Case Studies in Leadership".

There's a small pic of Cleese and Fry. Fry looks shorter but also slouches a bit.

Check out Fry on Whose Line Is It Anyway, there is plenty of footage on Youtube. He has atleast 3" on the 6'2" Peter Cook, way back in 1988, and in an episode in 1997 he is nearly the same as 6'6" Ryan Stiles. Maybe he should be rounded up to the full 6'5".

To 'Anonymous'.
He is not 5'11,,
No way. If you see some stuff he's been in or look up a vid on youtube, he reaches the top of the door frames, mostly.
And as for Laurie, well he's only a couple of inches shorter than Fry.
I'm only 5'0, so to me these are tall men, lol.

thats just ridiculous, if laurie were 5'9" then the other cast in House must all be 5'5" and below which is clearly not the case. Omar Epps for example is NOT 5'5" or below... but hey whatever makes you feel good about yourself mate

In the 1997 film Wilde, where he plays Oscar Wilde, he is standing next to Ioan Gruffudd and Jude Law in quite few scenes, and he really towers over them by a huge margin. I'd say this 6'4.5" is bang on. Incidentally, Law and Gruffudd look a similar height to each other.

When I saw him in Jeeves and Wooster I thought he only looked 6 foot 3, but I suppose I'm wrong. Regardless, any way you look at him he's tall (good thing!)

6'4.5" is pretty much correct. He's always been properly tall. During one BAFTA ceremony he described himself as 6'4" and a bit and when Tim Robbins came up to present an award they were about the same height. They were also in the 1994 film "I.Q." together.

I met him one and because he's bulky, he comes across as at least 6'6". He absolutely towered over me. However, he's said he's 6'4.5" so that must be right.

On idbm or whatever bloody way round it is he is stated at 6'5"
1/2" makes little difference really.

He was a bit shorter than Tim Robbins, so I guess 6-4 1/2 seems accurate

He once said at start of Saturday Night Fry that he was "6"4 in my stockinged feed". But I've heard his height reported at 6"5 elsewhere.
