Who cares if he´s 5´9 or 5´8? Do you have complexes or what? Cant believe that some are arguing here for years about the height of a person...
A: He´s a solid 5´9
B: No, are you crazy, he´s not that tall, he´s a weak 5,8
C: Hmm, what ya think, could he be a 5´9 in the morning?
D: He´s not 5´9, he is 5´8
As if someone could determine the height of a person that exactly just by a picture.
Seriously get a life people. However, this discussions are funny as hell.
I think, he´s a solid 5´8 or maybe a weak 5´9, hmm, I think I should call some scientists because that´s a big probleme we have to resolve (smile).

@shane:, your statistics are outdated by 5yrs, and the average height of an american is 5'9, not 5'10
@I KNOW I: anne hathaway is about 5'7, the same height as julie andrews so carell would be about 5'7

I am just going to chime in here with the average height thing. What people do not understand is, that the average of something statistically, is not always the average of something in the context of what we define as average. For example average looking would be 5/10. However when you consider average height, you have to understand the majority of all cases are measured either below or above the average height. There would be the same if not more people measured below what the average height ended up being. This is because there are more anomalies in terms of super height than there are in terms of super short. I see more men 6'5" for example then i do 5'2". They are essentially what brings up the average height to something which on second glance doesn't feel quite right. Finding the average of something statistically is just a method of numbers, it has nothing to do with what is and isn't acceptable.

although not great, i think this pic shows he's not a 5'10 man as he claims. 5'11 seth rogen easily has a couple of inches on carell. 5'9 sounds about right (could also be slightly under that).

true enough jon. Carell's character Michael Scott in 'the office' is a small, petty childish man, and we'd love it if he was only 5'8. Carell, on the other hand, is not. i guess that makes him a better actor than we give him credit for. Ed Harris, Pachino, McShane, they all play authoritative badass roles and we never even consider their height -because they're average height and there's no reason to discuss it. however, we hate Micheal Scott so much, that we instinctively attack the actor who plays him.

It is much better to have an attractive face and confidence with an average height to a member of the opposite sex, than it is to have an above average height, unattractive face, and low confidence.

Truth is JD I was just trying to explain my point about WHY it is some celebrities heights are less ARGUED about than others, despite their fame. It is a curious thing, what do you think of it? Steve Carell and Tom cruise are punch bags for discussions like these, but men like Ed Harris, Al Pacino, Ian Mcshane, Lance Henriksen, are just less TALKED about concerning their height. It's just accepted if they're short or not.
When someone finds out Cruise or Carell may be taller than they thought, they go on to a website like this and vent their frustration. And I think it comes down to the character of the actor. People expect or surmise from their personality that THAT guy must be shorter than me.

wow jon, for someone who doesn't care how tall steve carell is... 4 paragraphs later. and i think this is a discussion about Steve Carell's height, not yours, no one asked.
either way B.J Novak is 5'8.5 (and he CLAIMS 5'8.75) and Steve is always a little bit taller than him, never shorter. I say he has to be 5'9, he can hold his own next to Dwight, Jim, or any of the shipping crew (watch the basketball game, where everyone is in sneakers), which are all 6'3 or taller. You would expect all of those tall people to dwarf a 5'8 guy, and Carell still stand respectable.

About Carrell: Have you every wondered why Steve Carrell's height is much more of a debate than other actors around his height? I'll give you two good examples: What about Ed Harris or Ian Mcshane? Both are similar or shorter heights, BUT they're height is less bandied about. The reason is Steve Carrell plays a sort of character that viewers expect to be "short" as opposed to characters played by Ed Harris or Ian Mcshane. The same idea can be applied to the EPIC TIZZY around Tom cruise and his height. While he isn't really that short.

Cat, people bull*hit about a lot of things other than height. And remember if one bull*hits then the next guy has to in response. For example, if my friend told me in pride and over a beer that he was 6', while he is actually 5'10, then I would have to give a CORRESPONDING bull*hit and say my height is 6'2 rather than its actual 6'. Understand? That's how all this starts. And for goodness sake, its not like everybody has a height scale at home! People are bound to distort their height.

Is it really that important for you Cat to prove Carell, Hathaway, and Jolie are all shorter than they're billed? Do you have something against Hathaway and Jolie? That you need to be *aller than them? I don't think Angelina Jolie is 5'4, I think she's at least 5'6--my opinion.

Jon, it's comments like yours that P*** me off. If heights don't matter then why are you looking at this site and if heights don't matter why do ALL the celebs lie about their height? Because for some reason it's important to be tall. If Steve Carell is 5'8", which I think he probably is, that would make Anne Hathaway about 5'5" and Angelina Jolie about 5'4", which is what I have been arguing on this site. After all the pictures and postings and heel allowances, I'm convinced this is true. This isn't about diminishing the talent or looks of the actor/actress but trying to get them to stop BS'ing about their height, then people won't have insecurities about their own height.

Why are all you guys all in a tizzy about Carell's height? I'm 6" and I couldn't care less how tall he is. Although he may seem short because of the kind of character he is, it's true that he may be just around average height. It's interesting to know someone's height, but why does everybody put such a premium on somebody's "height"? Is this a site for trolls that are ridden with their height insecurities?

I just REALLY can't believe he is over 5"8". I mean, he was at most the same height as 'Jay' in 40 Year Old Virgin who has an official site height listing of 5"8" (so he wouldnt be any taller). Plus theres this pic of him slimed at nickelodeon awards and barefoot next to Tobey Maguire (also barefoot)... EXACT SAME HEIGHT! and Tobey is at most 5"8"

OliTheMan,
Greg Kinnear is only listed at 5'9.5", here. It's funny your bring Greg up, because I went to go find some picture of the two, together, and they very much seem to support the current listed height. In fact, they look almost the exact same height, at times, but I think that's because of Kinnear's slouching, or it could be chalked up to Steve in lifts:

A 5'9 guy can look kindof short on screen. I've noticed that alot of actors in the 5'9 range look shorter than average in movies and those in the 5'11-6' range look average. Of course, a legit 5'9 is not "short" by any means.

either way Anne Hathaway is still about half an inch shorted than him with heels, if she is listed at 5ft 7.5in, Steve is a possible 5ft 9, he never looked less than 5ft 9 especially 5ft 10 next to Morgan Freeman.

No way is Steve carrel 5'11 because no one claims to be shorter than they are (steve carell claim 5'10). If Steve Carell said he is 5'10, then its really likely that he is no taller than 5'10.

steve carrel really is 5'11, his roll is usally as a dumber, sillier, or suboordinating character, so they have very tall actors act with him. like a lot of people think Jim in the office is around 6 or 6'1 but he's really 6'3. all the people in the office are really tall and in othe rmovies, making him look short

NO WAY he's even 5'9"! Anne Hathaway is much taller than him in pretty modest heels, and she's 5'8". Even BJ Novak on "The Office" is about half-an-inch taller than him, and he's close to 5'9". There is *NO WAY* Steve Carell is anything over 5'8" flat.
I feel sorry for him, though. That's pretty short for a guy, and everyone else on The Office is 5'10" and up. Most guys I know are like, at least, 6'1". Rainn Wilson and John Krasinski are like 6'3". It can make a guy feel pretty insecure. Believe me, I know.
Being short SUCKS!

That shot of Carell next to Freeman is so unreliable, firstly the angle is looking up and Morgan is slightly behind Carell. Secondly we can't see their shoes to determine what kind of lifts Carell has on (see in the Office he has about 1 - 2 inch dress shoes on most of the time). He is 5'8 or 5'9 no more.

I think his build has a lot to do with it. He's such a broad guy with a huge chest. I think it might make him look bigger than he is. I just saw him on Rachael Ray, and he looked about 6 inches taller than her, and she usually wears heels. Rachael is supposedly about 5'3", so that would make Steve about 5'9" or 5'10". He works with tall thinnish people on The Office, probably why he looks so short to them.

He looks short on the office but that could be in part to working with such tall costars. John Krasinski(Jim)and Rainn Wilson(Dwight)both are upwards of 6'2or3 and guys like Kevin and Darrell are tall too. Really the only short guys on the show is BJ Novak(Ryan) and the dude who plays Oscar.

No way he's 5'9. Everyone on The Office towers over him. He's got to be significantly below average height. I'd guess 5'7 tops.

There's a long shot in Little Miss Sunshine that shows Steve, Toni Collette, and Greg Kinnear standing next to each other in front of the VW bus. Steve and Toni appear to be almost the exact same height -and she ain't in heels. So whatever she is (it says 5'6.5" here, but she looks between 5'7" and 5'8"), he is. More or less.

On his first appearance on Ellen, he as well as Ellen were both wearing sneakers and they were exactly the same height! How can we list Ellen at 5'7 and him at 5'9? Either Ellen isn't 5'7 but 5'9 or Steve is shorter like 5'7. After Going to the Ellen show and having her walk right passed me she was about 5'8 or a little more, this is just an estimation but that what she seemed to me.

Just saw both him and Kinnear on Ellen today. She was wearing what looked like flat sneakers (converse-type) with very little lift. Carell and Kinnear both were wearing dress shoes, with a slight heel, as most dress shoes have. They looked, at most, half an inch taller than her... So I'd say the 2 inch Hollywood rule defintely applies to both guys...both no taller than 5'8.

Here's a very easy way to tell his height...
If anyone can find the him standing next to Jon Stewart of "The Daly Show," who is a known 5'7" man, than they can easily glean his height. He recently did an interview with Jon, but I can't seem for the life of me to remember who was taller/shorter by how much. Also, if anyone can compare him to any of his castmates on his T.V. show "The Office" (the American version), that would also help.
On a similar note, Paul Rudd who was a castmate with him in "Anchorman" looks to be his height. I don't think Paul is the 5'9" he is listed at.
