6'2 is BS but yes so is 5'11.
Lenad said on 6/Jan/09
He never looks 6ft2 ever.
Anonymous said on 1/Jan/09
shorter than bruce willis (5'11.5")
anonymous said on 30/Dec/08
He looked really tall next to 6 foot leonardo dicaprio. 6 foot and it was camera effects.
Hugh said on 28/Dec/08
6ft1 sightings for this guy are frequent enough. 6ft2 is even more frequent.
Hugh said on 21/Dec/08
I'm sticking to strong 6ft. Sure he can give a 5ft11-6ft illusion.
Hugh said on 15/Dec/08
I don't 181cm is Tom's height. a good 6ft for this guy. No less.
anonymous said on 13/Dec/08
I would say that tom hanks is around 5' 11". Some people don't realize that 5'11" is not short....thats just slightly under 6'.....so that why he doesn't appear to be short because he is slightly above average height. Even if he were 5'10"...thats still not short considering adding another inch for footwear....so there you go again with shoes 5'11 or 5'11 1/2....mystery solved.
Tony said on 7/Dec/08
lowest is 183cm
Click Herefreeze that video at 34 seconds him and Ross are the exact height
same shoulder line ups and head measurements
I admit the camera angle has changed during that video before they are seated and infact could be illusion with the angle and the camera
but interesting none the less
DMEYER said on 7/Dec/08
frank said than hanks looked 5 ft 11.5 but possibly 6 ft
Hugh said on 5/Dec/08
I can see the lowest being 183cm. He just can't be under 6ft. 6ft0.5 is probably closer to the truth. He's a reasonably tall guy.
Lenad said on 4/Dec/08
So Frank2 witnessed Hanks at not quite 6feet. In addition I can see 185cm at the highest and 182cm at the lowest. He seems a legit 6 footer unlike most people who get listed at that.
Lenad said on 2/Dec/08
Didnt Frank2 witness Hanks at 5ft11ish?
Hugh said on 1/Dec/08
Actually he looks quite close in height to his son.
Hugh said on 30/Nov/08
I wouldn't go lower than 6ft. Always looks at least 6ft to me. Next to Michael Clarke he looked short but that guy would make anyone look small.
Hugh said on 30/Nov/08
6ft1 maybe at his peak. Who ever said he was 187cm though?
Lenad said on 30/Nov/08
Yeah he looks taller than average so a solid 6foot if not a little more. I wouldnt go as high as 187cm though.
DMEYER said on 29/Nov/08
i worked with hanks for 3 weeks he didnt seem over 6 ft not under either no more than 184 cm peak
Hugh said on 28/Nov/08
I certainly saw 6ft1 back 20 years ago. Actually he did look quite tall in Saving Private Ryan.
Hugh said on 25/Nov/08
I could possibly give Hanks a weak 6ft1 as his peak. And a strong 6ft nowadays.
anonymous said on 22/Nov/08
In catch me if u can, he was about an inch taller than leonardo dicaprio. He's 6 foot.
Hugh said on 7/Nov/08
Craig is actually between 5ft10 and 5ft11. Bond Tailors measurement.
thekiddd said on 30/Oct/08
6'1" he can pass for even though he is 6'. 6'2" he could never pass for at anytime in his life.
Lori said on 29/Oct/08
My husband met and spoke to Tom at a neighborhood BBQ back in 2002, and he thought Tom was closer to 6'2". My husband is a solid 6'4", and I have to say, Tom did look quite tall standing next to my husband. And I'm pretty sure he had on sneakers.
Milosh said on 25/Oct/08
I'd say this is about right. He was like an inch taller than 5'11" Adam Goldberg in Saving Private Ryan.
Hugh said on 22/Oct/08
I think he could be. He's not below 6ft.
Hugh said on 20/Oct/08
Who Beatty or Hanks?
Hugh said on 17/Oct/08
Beatty still looks a solid 6ft2. I think Hanks is no less than 6ft0.5.
thekiddd said on 16/Oct/08
Yeah. His wife once said he was 6'2" but she doesn't know Jack Squat!
TELLEM said on 6/Oct/08
i hear beatty is not 6'2 anymore...he could be 6'1...rob has him right at 6'0

I said not to me. I didn't say you were wrong. And he looks about 6 on Road To Perdition to me.
thekiddd said on 3/Oct/08
He Never Looks 6'2" IMO.
Hugh said on 30/Sep/08
In Green Mile he looked more 5ft11ish. In the Road to Perdition and in Sleepless in Seattle however he looked closer to 6ft2!
The Horse of FUNK said on 27/Sep/08
Despite Dmeyer's goobly gock language, he's usually one of the more accurate members on this site. I agree with Dmeyer--Hanks generally looks 6'0" - 6'.05", even occasionally 6'1". He's definitely 6', that's for sure, and I'm willing to bet he's probably more like 184cm and just generally has relaxed posture.
Hugh said on 26/Sep/08
I think anything under 6ft is laughable.
Hugh said on 21/Sep/08
I think Hanks is at least 6ft.
Alex said on 20/Sep/08
5'11-6'1 is one of those pretty tough ranges to tell on TV. They can be in that range and you can't be sure which height they are. Tom was never 6'1 but I think legit 6'0 at his peak. Today I could agree on 5'11 though.

david morse is 6'4" barefoot and tends to wear thick boots more than hanks does.

He looked tiny in Green Mile ext to David Morse like 5'10". I always thought he was about 5'11" but I think 6 feet is fine for him.
brotha said on 21/Jun/08
Just watched a league of their own. Hanks looks to appear the same height of Davis. Some shots in the film are misleading and appear to make Davis taller, but it really isn't the case.
dmeyer said on 20/Jun/08
most of the time hanks look 6 ft to 6 ft 0.5 in one time he pulled of 6 ft 1.5 in in road to perdition he defenetly had lifts he made tucci look 5 ft 4
daii said on 17/Jun/08
he looks quite tall in forrest gump and the green mile (obviosly not compared to john coffee) but id say Tom is 5'11.5 to 6'0.5
so about 6 feet tall!
Hugh said on 16/Jun/08
Okay, 6ft1/6ft2 illusion. But 6ft0.5 is a possibility.
dmeyer said on 11/Jun/08
i met hanks he was 48 years old so very well could have lost 0.5 to 1 cm and he looked 183 solid or 184 so peak height minimum 6 ft to 6 ft 0.5 in so at early 50s might 5 ft 11.75 ro 6 ft flat
dmeyer said on 11/Jun/08
that actor is nuts i met hanks in low cut shoes at the very shortest he is 5 ft 11.75 and more likely 6 ft 0.25
Jake Is Back said on 7/Jun/08
Hanks at 6'2" is more laughable than Hanks at 5'11". I really disagree with over 6', thats the most I see him at.
Hugh said on 7/Jun/08
Candy was 6ft2-6ft3 so that makes Hanks and Washington 6ft1-6ft2.
Lenad said on 6/Jun/08
He is about the same height as Denzel Washington and a little bit shorter than John Candy but I'll just have to say that the 5'11 guy who claimed Hanks is shorter is an Idiot unless Washington and Candy are lift wearers.
glenn said on 6/Jun/08
there is no way he is under 6ft is correct.and could be 6-1 is also possible.
Hugh said on 5/Jun/08
Anything below 6ft is ridiculous for Hank. His son Colin is barely taller than him. Hanks is 6ft1 at least.
Anonymous said on 31/May/08
I've always perceived him as a regular (as in somewhere in the 'average' spectrum )height guy. He sure as hell isn't 5' 10" or 6ft +.
Lenad said on 28/May/08
Now in his early movies, he usually looked 5'11 at best but he has looked 6'1 today, but the 5'11 guy said Hanks is shorter than him. Therefore it makes sennse if Tom wears lifts, making him really 5'10-5'11 like he looked in his early films. There is no way he is 6'1 or close to it.
thekiddd said on 27/May/08
Nah. He was always 6 feet flat. I don't think he's quite reached the age of shrinkage. He can pass for 5'11" but 6' looks like his height back then and today.
Arnie said on 21/May/08
Who is ever 6' on the mark 6' on the exact cm anyway, Tom might very well be 5'11.80

In a League of Their Own, Geena Davis, who is 6'1", had a couple couple of inches on Tom. I think Tom is about 5'11".
Really, Geena Davis was noticeablytaller than Hanks? She's lsted as 6' here.
She was 6'1" 20 years ago. She was about 3" shorter than 6'4" Chevy Chase in Fletch in 1984.
YES, Hanks was 1-2" shorter than Geena in 1989.

I found two other pics of him and monahan, one of which monaha was bending down the other of which was pretty much a thumbnail (I'll give you that it loked like hanks was taller in the tiny pic). Go to Denzel's page, I recall recently see people thought he looked 1" - 1.5" taller than Hanks. Since I'll probably never meet him I won't get to form my own definant oppinion but I do tend to feel he'd be shorter than most celebs listed at 6' here (except 50 cent among a couple others).
dmeyer said on 29/Feb/08
look at other pics he look a full in over monahan look at pics were hanks look 3 cm taller than dicaprio who is 5 ft 11.5 looks very similar height with denzel in some pic1 cm taller in some pics 1 cm shorter angle posture anyway ,hanks being 2 in taller than sinise is bs looks more like 3.5 in also i dont need any proof hanks looked solid 6 footer when i met him i worked on a movie for 11 days with tom hanks he had low cut 1.25 in shoes he is a solid 6 footer is has very good posture wish make me understand whi he looks taller sometimes might have been 184 cm as a young men

hanks 5'11 is just plain stupid.... He almost always looks 6'1 and every now and now and then looks 6' in movies and photos.... I think this may explain why he probably is 6'0.5. Or maybe he used to be and now has shrunk to 6 ft.

Northener said on 21/Dec/07
I would say 6'0" to 6'1" is about right. I met Tom Hanks when I was in the Navy. He and Spielberg visited the ship I was stationed on when we stopped in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. I'm 6'1", and he seemed just a bit taller than me. Could have been the shoes, but regardless he is a pretty big guy... stocky is a good description. Nice guy, too... really appreciates the military folks. This was around 1999.

Click Here this is when he was on SNL. At the 3:20 mark, he's standing in front of a height chart, he's 6' in his shoes. Now if the chart is accurate or not I have no idea but it is interesting. If it's accurate, I actually think he may be 5'10" or 5'11" and Will Ferrel maybe 6'2"??
Kid-Icarus said on 20/Nov/07
He can look short some of the time. He looked way shorter than David Morse in Green Mile but Morse could have been wearing lifts. But 6'2" is out of the question for Hanks. He could pass for 6'1" but I agree with the editor. 6 feet exact.

Annie, you're vantage point of how height influences others is totally scewed. you've obviously always gone through life as an extremely tall person and i doubt that your ego in areas such as spelling (no way that's the only area) hasn't been influenced by your own perceived stature both mentally and physically. I really don't think someone with your absurred excess in inches needs to be wasting her time on this website. Why mention you're height in the middle of your post unless to brag about it? maybe you're comparing yourself to Hanks in that "like him, i've shrunk", but you are in a completly different height zone for a woman then he is a man. Honestly, women of this height can be very arrogant and obnoxious. However if i misconstrued your tone and sentiment i apologize.
Franco said on 9/Sep/07
definetely doesnt look 6'0 at all today, he lost something and it shows clearly if you pay attention.
181cm at most today.

Please...those of you learning English, use a dictionary to spell correctly. Comments are fun and interesting, but I speak Spanish and French and would never post in another language unless I'd checked my spelling. I'm a language teacher so I know the value of reinforcing. Tom Hanks rules, no matter his height. I started out at 6' and am now 5'11" female...talent has no limit nor boundry of "average" or "tall".
MOF said on 28/Aug/07
I'm not sure if wax statues are 100% accurate when it comes to height, but I got to stand next to a wax statue of Tom Hanks and next to me he wasn't anything more than 181cm. The statue had dress shoes very similar to my own...

Tom was in the store I work at in Soho a few days ago, the guy easily looked 6 feet, maybe a tad above it when he walked by, I wish I could have gotten more time to gauge but he appears fairly tall actually.
I would have to say 6'0.5", seemed above 6 foot.

James said on 4/Aug/07
In Philidelphia that was one of the few films that Tom Hanks actually looked around 5ft11 to 6ft. In other films such as Sleepless in Seatle Hanks gave me the impression of 6ft2 that is with the help of his high frizzey hair and slightly heeled shoes. Tom Hanks most of the time looks over 6ft in his movies. Although that said 6ft4 David Morse did make him look quite short in the Green Mile.

The actor/extra who said "I'm 5'11" and I am taller than he is. It was very surprising" is full of it, clearly. Hanks is easy, they never use any tricks with his height since he´s just so very averagely tall. He´s clearly 6'0" to 6'1".

But the apparatus used to simulate the moon's 1/6th gravity on soundstages was physically grueling to use and, at 6-foot-1, he's an inch too tall for optimum astronaut height.

Also just recently, dicaprio has been upgraded to 5'11.75. If dicaprio is 5'11.75, hanks has .75 inches on that. So he is 6'0.5 minimum.

I think he's 6'0
James said on 12/Jun/07
He used to get listed as 6ft1
Jackie said on 8/Jun/07
I never noticed or studied Tom Hanks' height until recently, when I saw him in movies or photos with people and looking considerably taller than them, much to my surprise. So I have made a collage of Tom with several male celebrities, whose heights are also discussed on this website.

hanks is about 6 ft he dose look 6'1 in many pics i worked on terminal for 6 weeks i thaught he was 6'0.5 in but i thaught i was 6 ft when i am 5'11 so 6 ft seems right for him
Anonymous said on 31/May/07
I doubt he's lost any height. I've always thought he was 6-6'1 from movies. I trust dmeyer though and he says 6'...
dmeyer said on 30/May/07
183 cm seems fine for hanks but i think he could have been 6'0.25 to 6'0.5 in his 20s since he is about 50 now or maybe he lost nothing since he is in good shape
Viper said on 30/May/07
Thats funny as hell dmeyer.
dmeyer said on 30/May/07
people cant tell height i work at a restaurent the chef is a solid 6 footer like before bed and he is shoked that i am 5'11 he says no way you are 6'2 it is my first guy that think 6'2 also i wear 1 in shoes at the restaurent
dmeyer said on 30/May/07
monahan must be 186 cm if not hanks is 5'10.75 but i met hanks i doubt he is under 6 ft
Del Mar said on 29/May/07
That roxbury link could support my pic with the doll of his on 22/3, but every other pic I see of Hanks show him as a tall man, at least lookin 6-1 with other celebs
Drew said on 22/May/07
Next to 182cm William Monahan
Click Here
I think he could be 5'11". Perhaps 181 or 182cm when he was younger.
Drew said on 22/May/07
Rob, in that video he looks only six feet (with shoes). I think he could very well be 181 or 182cm.
dmeyer said on 18/May/07
he does look 3 in shorter than ferrel who is no more than 6'3 since i met him he looked 6'3 but he is a hair shorter than borat
dmeyer said on 18/May/07
after looking at that defenetly not over 6 ft he looks 6 ft in shoes but the posture aint good so max 6'1 in shoes possibly 6'0.75 if we are talking in shoes sometimes on terminal i had 1.4 in heels so 6'0.4 in in shoes like 184 cm he was aleast 6 ft 1 in shoes posssibly 6'1.25 in in shoes but he had 3 cm heels so 186 cm _minus 3 is 183 cm also i had 0.4 to 0.5 in shoes when i met leo so 181.4 to 181.6 in shoes he seemed an in bigger max so 6'0.5 in shoes minus 1.1 in heels thats 181.6 to 182 cm thats whi i think he is no mre than 6 ft for leo
dmeyer said on 17/May/07
you got to put hanks back to 6'0.25 since he is an easy 1.27 cm on leo
dmeyer said on 13/May/07
i met hanks a few times i believe he is a solid 6 footer but barry shabakka heiley who claim 6'2 who plays a airport security in terminal looks aleast 1.5 to 2 in on hanks and batrry is 6'1 no more possibly a weak 186 cm since he was no more than 2 in on me by that mark hanks is 183 cm max also beatty is about 6'1 nowadays so hanks is 6 ft no more but that mark leo is aleast 1 cm shorter hanks can be daescribe as 6'1 to 6'1 since at 5'11 i get describe at 6'1 and hanks is about 6 foot
Shane said on 22/Apr/07
Tom Hanks is a definate 6'0" minimum. My brother and I worked with him barefoot everyday for two months. He is probably more like 6'1" but in person is a pretty humble guy and would be more likely to go conservative rather then exagerrate issues like height.
James said on 11/Apr/07
I have heard loads of rumors that Tom Hanks is below 6feet although judging from watching him in various films and photos I think he is probably on this mark if not more than this stated height. Although I did notice when watching saving private ryan in one particualr scene both Damon (5ft10) and Hanks looked in a very similar height range and there wasnt any suspicous footwear used either?
Yadiry said on 10/Apr/07
your my favorite actor and i love you!!!
Aaron said on 5/Apr/07
anonymous, in movies directors often have shorter actors like damon stand on boxes or raised platforms when talking to taller actors such as 6'2 affleck to downplay the size diffence.
bam said on 26/Mar/07
From USA today
But the apparatus used to simulate the moon's 1/6th gravity on soundstages was physically grueling to use and, at 6-foot-1, he's an inch too tall for optimum astronaut height.
anonymous said on 25/Mar/07
Matt Damon definetely wears lifts. At times, he only looked 2 inches shorter than 6`2 ben affleck.
bam said on 24/Mar/07
From the tassaud pics on the brad pitt page, and my personal examination of madame tassaud's collections, The George Bush waxwork is TALLER than the Tom Hanks waxwork. This is a major contradiction. Its very odd, because there is no true motive to make waxwork look shorter than the actual person. They measure most celebrities extremely meticulously but not all in which case they have to carefully estimate.Tom Hanks is probably not 5'10. In pics he may easily look it, but he is legitimately taller in this pic than bush, who is at least 5'11. Also when u see the tassaud waxwork, look at how short his arms look. This is inconsistent with the real Tom Hanks.

5-10 or 5-10.5 wax figure of Hanks:

As Viper says this should be taken with a big grain of salt, and no to be compared to real life Hanks.
Anonymous said on 21/Mar/07
Dmeyer, do you mean
Matt Damon? He looks about 5'10-5'9.5 in "Talented Mr. Ripley".
dmeyer said on 16/Mar/07
after looking at getty images hanks and damon looks only 1.5 in shorter than hanks 2 in tops so no more than 6 for damon i thaught hanks would have look taller near him
dmeyer said on 12/Mar/07
i think it might be possible to judge within 0.5 in like hanks is 6'0 to 6'0.5
glenn said on 22/Feb/07

Viper said on 21/Feb/07
Glenn, it seems really odd that you have never seen Hanks before. Hes a huge star.
Jake W. said on 19/Feb/07
I think he's under 6'0".
dmeyer said on 18/Feb/07
hanks is over 5'11 and under 6'1 so thats pretty mush 6 ft on terminal he looked between 182 and weeks 184 so 183 seems right
glenn said on 18/Feb/07
missed this guy by minutes twice in one night.unreal bad luck last week.never saw him in my life.
derek said on 17/Feb/07
He has looked 6'1 in almost every single movie he has made... I don't why people are always trying to downgrade celebs like him... There is no way he is 5 '11, he looks atleast a inch or two taller next to all 5'11 celebs in the pictures that I have seen posted here.... He's not a short man by any means.
dmeyer said on 5/Feb/07
hanks can look 1.5 inches taller than leo but leo dosnt force posture like hanks i am a hanks type of guy i look taller than 6'1 at 5'11 because i have good posture and they slouch so i think hanks is max 1 inch on leo maybe only 0.75 in but leo dosnt force it at 5'11 i look 6'1 in many pics so hanks at 183 can easily look 6'1
dmeyer said on 5/Feb/07
i think hanks i about 185 cm in the morning and 183 flat at night so legit 6 feet
asfasf said on 30/Jan/07
if tom hanks is 6 feet leonardo di caprio is about 5'10 at the most
Matt said on 28/Jan/07
He looked like a good 6'2 in Catch me if you can. I also can't picture him being 5'10 as some say. Maybe he's 6'0/6'1.
Derek said on 26/Jan/07
Tom looked pretty tall in Sleepless in Seattle. I can't picture him under 6'0".
Anthony said on 26/Jan/07
I tought Hanks looked 5'11 at best in "Nothing In Common". I agree though that in his later movies he seemed 6' and occasionally 6'1.
Viper said on 26/Jan/07
He looks 5-11 1/2 at best to me.
dmeyer said on 21/Jan/07
he can realy look 6'1 in pics
dmeyer said on 10/Jan/07
that actor from green mile dosnt make sens hanks isnt under 180 and he is around 6 ft possibly a week 184
dmeyer said on 4/Jan/07
we actualy remesured the lamp it is exactly 5'11.5 181.61 cm but in the morning i am 0.5 in taller than the lamp so acording to that lamp i am 183 in the morning and 181 at night but i might have 0.25 hair advantage so thats 5'11.75 morning and 5'11 at night it is been this way for 4 years almost
dmeyer said on 4/Jan/07
it is weird i have a lamp that is exactly mesured at 182 cm 5'11.65" and i stand near it and i look exactly the same height at 11 pm weird i might be 182 on a good day all my friend were here they mesured the lamp at 5'11.65 and they told me i am exactly the same height just so there is no question i was barefeet and on the exact same floor maybe i am 5'11 and 5'11.5 with military posture
dmeyer said on 1/Jan/07
tom is at the very least 5'11.5 and at best 6'0.5 so thats pretty mush 6 feet
dmeyer said on 30/Dec/06
i think it is difficult to judge someone height exactly i think more with 0.75 in since my roomate claim 6'1.5 and he looks 6'0 to 6'0.5 so i think 6'0.25 fits him good
6'2'' JK said on 21/Dec/06
Chillout Dmeyer!, we get your point that he is 6'0'', you dont have to keep on repeating yourself a hundred times
dmeyer said on 20/Dec/06
if that is hanks in that photo with ferrel i would say he is no more than 6 feet
dmeyer said on 20/Dec/06
if thats hanks he is max 6'1 in shoes
dmeyer said on 18/Dec/06
is it stallone in that height shart with ferrel because he looks near 6 feet in shoes
dmeyer said on 18/Dec/06
haks looked very tall in road to perdition since i worked on a scene with tucci and hanks the differance was 10 to 11 cm and he looks 15 cm taller in road to... also 3 inches on craig he might have weared lift that braught him to 186 mark
dmeyer said on 18/Dec/06
he is closer to the camera but in person does look in the 183 zone give or take 0.25 in but i think he is no more than 6 since he looks 1.5 to 2 inches shorter than barry shabaka heiley the black security guard in terminal who a met a few times about 186 cm hanks did look 4 cm smaller hanks is taller than 5'11 and shorter than 6'1 so thats pretty mush 6 feet in person never looked as tall as 6'1 and as short as 5'11 183 strong for him but can look 184-5 range with military posture
Del Mar said on 14/Dec/06
Leo and from Catch me if you can
Del Mar said on 12/Dec/06
I agree 5'10 seems all to low in every pic I see of the man, while he look in the 6, 6-1 range, but why downgrade his doll, i don't understand...
dmeyer said on 5/Dec/06
it is difficult to find pics of hanks barefeet
dmeyer said on 4/Dec/06
so rob you think that hanks isnt 184 anymore
Editor Rob
nah, Travolta can pull of the weak 184, but Hanks done the roxbury and was dancing in front of the police chart with ferrell...so...
dmeyer said on 29/Nov/06
frank2 you agree that hanks isnt over 6'0"
Del Mar said on 29/Nov/06
He's 5 ft 10. Photo from Tussaud will be submitted :)
dmeyer said on 23/Nov/06
i believe tom is a lidl over 6 feet in the morning since i am 5'11.75 in morning he could be 6'0.5 in morning i have a friend thats 6'1.25 and hanks i aleast 1 inch smaller
dmeyer said on 21/Nov/06
compare to bush he looks more 5'11.5 to 5'11.75 but i do think he is a true 6 footer i met him
dmeyer said on 18/Nov/06
on terminal never looked as tall as 6 feet 1 in but he does look it in davici compare to mckellen and reno could wear 0.75 to 1 in lifts on occasion i think hanks might wear smaal lifts on occasion to go from 6'0 to 6'0.75 =185 cm
Viper652 said on 17/Nov/06
181-182 cm looks right for Hanks.
dmeyer said on 15/Nov/06
tom is using toes in that but the actual differance is 1.5 to 1.75 in so 6 feet to 6 feet 0.25 in to me any shoes over i inch =2.5 cm give you extra height like if i wear 1.5 in
dmeyer said on 14/Nov/06
his shoes looks mormal most of the times he might wear lifts on rare ocasions like sometimes he looks a solid 2 inches smaller than 188 zemekis and sometimes looks barely shorter also maybe 0.5 in lift and good posture that brings hin about 6'1 but most of the time look 6' to 6'0.5 wish is his height
dmeyer said on 14/Nov/06
in pics he looks 6' to 6'1
dmeyer said on 13/Nov/06
since tom looked 183 to 184 cm when i met him maybe he was 185 in his 20s
Gramps said on 13/Nov/06
Well Paddy, he looks six feet to me in your photos.
dmeyer said on 13/Nov/06
even thaugh it is dificult to judge an exact height even thaught i worked 6 days with hanks i can say he is taller than 5'11 and shorter than 6'1 thats makes preety mush 183 184 range
dmeyer said on 12/Nov/06
i think hanks is between 183 to 184 cm 6'0.25 could be it
dmeyer said on 6/Nov/06
if we are talking in shoes i was about 6'0.25 to 6'0.5 in shoes 5'11 + 1.25 in heels about 184 mark and hanks was 0.5 to 0.75 inches taler so 6'1.25 in shoes he had 1.2 in heels so 6'0 to 6'0.25 barefeet it is easier when you judge in shoes and then take the shoes advantage like for example whe i am wearing 0.6 to 0.75 in converse i am about 5'11.75 so i friend of mine who is 5'10.25 was almost as tall as me so i was thinking the guy is 5'11 then i notice he had 1.4 to 1.5 nike shoes on so 5'11.75 in those shoes - 1.5 inches thats 5'10.25 even thaugh he is 178.5 he looks 180 in those shoes same thing when a girl is exactly my height if i wear 1 in heels and she wears 3 in so it means she is only 5'9 to 5'9.25
dmeyer said on 6/Nov/06
in the movie he did with genna davis was he taller or shorter than her but i do think she is a lidl over 6 feet since she dosnt look 4 inches smaller than 193 morse andbarely shorter than 189 jackson so i will give her the 184 strong like 6'0.5 that whi pitt even in boot wasnt as tall as her in 1.5 cm sandals when i wear 2 inches cowboy boots i am taller than 6 footers even thaugh i am 5'11 i lokk 184 185 cm range and pitt didnt look very tall even in dose
dmeyer said on 6/Nov/06
i think bruce wears lifts because friends of mine that met him told me he is average and then in some movies he looks close in height with sam jackson but i dont think he is less than 5'11 even thaugh my friends told me 5'9 to 5'10 since he can look 6'1 on ocasions my friend franky met bruce 3 times and told me he is shokingly only 5'10 possibly less but to me bruce is at the shortest 5'11 posibly 6' but no more and with somr shoes 6'1 since he does look 2 to 3 inches smaller than arnie who is no more than 6'2
dmeyer said on 5/Nov/06
i look a hair taller than him in the pic but he isnt standing tall 6'0.25 is a good guess like 6'0 at night
dmeyer said on 31/Oct/06
ton is 183 184 range end of story
dmeyer said on 31/Oct/06
we both had 1.2 low cut dress shoes in that scene
dmeyer said on 24/Oct/06
he rob i have seen elevator shoes that are realy not suspicious looking so i guess if some one wear then you cant realy see it like some elevator that have 0.75 outside heels but have nearly 2 inches inside so i guess with posture and good elevator you can play 2 inches
dmeyer said on 23/Oct/06
hanks looks taller than 6 in movies even thaugh in person he is around 6 feet
dmeyer said on 23/Oct/06

those pic with tin allen proves hanks aint mush over 6 feet wath i can say about hanks when i met him he is over 5'11 and under 6'1 so pretty mush 6 feet 183.5 could be it for hanks
dmeyer said on 17/Oct/06
hanks is defenetly 6 feet since he was a hair taller than me at 5'11 or 11.5 but eckhart looked 1 to 2 cm smaller tham me maybe bad posture for example hanks seems 1.25 to 1.5 in taller than eckhart and costner seems aleast 1 in taller than hanks
dmeyer said on 17/Oct/06
ton hanks could be 6'0 flat rob if you watch terminal he looks 1.5 to 2 inches smaller than barry shabaka heiley who is no more than 6'1.5 i met hin a few times in person hanks looked only 0.5 in taller than me but i had 1.5 in shoes and he had 1.1 in so 6'0.25 could be it

If Dan Aykroyd is 6'1", Tom Hanks may be two inches shorter.

lets go for 5'11 its ok 181 is a headhach in feet
dmeyer said on 19/Sep/06
also when i met him he was 48 years old so possibly a hair taller as a younger man for hanks anything from 182 to 184 is possible since i met him a few times i worked 10 days on terminal and he looked 182 to 184 cm so 183 could be it
Editor Rob
he was close to aykroyd, who in that dragnet seemed decentish posture
dmeyer said on 19/Sep/06

you could get away with 181, you are probably like Frank2, who could be a little bit over 5ft 11 if standing tallest getting measured.
how is your stance when measuring?
