Mr R saw Avery at 6ft3ish but did say that he could have lost height
DejaVu said on 11/Jun/09
I wonder if Frank2 ever saw Smith
James said on 11/Jun/09
Evander Holyfield never looked a huge amount shorter than almost 6'4 3/4 Lennox Lewis. Plust who knows what footware glenn was wearing or the ground he was standing on next to Holyfield.
Derek said on 11/Jun/09
James says on 11/Jun/09
"The Shredder Will had 1 inch on Evander Holyfield who is 6'1 when he appeared on the show"

Holyfield was another one Glenn had a pic with. A 5'7" Glenn brings Holyfield to 6'0" and Will is once again 6'1".

Rob , do you see 3 inches between Will Smith and James Avery or shorter ? I see an easy 3 inches , Honestly I think he has GOT to 6'5 peak if Will Smith is the height you think !
the shredder said on 10/Jun/09
Theres CEARLY 3 inches between Will Smith and James Avery , His head ONLY goes up to Avery's eye brows , a little under his eye brows if anything ! Mr.R thinks James Avery is more 6'3 , to be fair he most likely shrunk and has bad posture , but In Fresh Prince he HAD to be 6'5 , if he was 6'4 in Fresh Prince then Will Smith is 6'1 ! What Alfo said does not add up , 6'2 Will Smith And 6'4 James Avery ? PLEASE !

I agree with what Rob thinks , he can be argued 6'1 or 6'2 , which is it though ? make your pick ? ... I would have 6'2 minimum with Glenn being 5'8 , but Glenn is 5'7 , so Im with 6'1 !
Lenad said on 10/Jun/09
187cm min and 189cm max
James said on 10/Jun/09
I think Will is 190-191cm in shoes.
the shredder said on 10/Jun/09
Rob , if he is 6'2.5 in shoes then he can't be a legit 6'2 barefoot , he would be like a little taller then 6'1 , unless you think its more a morning height !
James said on 9/Jun/09
6'4.5 is fine for James Avery. James didn't look a legit 6'5 next to Will Smith in my opinion.
Lenad said on 9/Jun/09
Rob do you think the lowest he could be is 187cm?

Editor Rob
I think that's as low as I'd estimate.
the shredder said on 9/Jun/09
James Avery should be listed 6'5 then !
James said on 9/Jun/09
So rob you think the 6'2 Will Smith height listing could be rounded up slightly?

Editor Rob
there's a chance, but I'm going to leave him 6ft 2 as I think it is as likely as 187cm.
the shredder said on 9/Jun/09
Rob , do you think theres a ANY chance he is just 6'1 ? Meaning , would you be shocked if he only measured 6'1 ?

Editor Rob
I think 6ft 1.5-2 is more probable than 6ft 1 afternoon height.
the shredder said on 9/Jun/09
Rob , in all honesty , do you still think he is a legit 6'2 ?

Editor Rob
I think because the amount of times he doesn't stand tall in photos he could be argued anywhere 6ft 1-2, maybe 6ft 2 still is close to his real height.
the shredder said on 8/Jun/09
I think 6'2 is not insane at all like people think , he can be 6'2 , but he can also be 6'1 ! The guy is cleary taller then 6 foot , so the 5'11 talk is insane , more insane then an insane 6'3 ! He can look 6'2 in photos , but to be very fair he REALLY looks 6'0 to 6'1 with the measured athletes , not saying he is that short though ! IMO the shortest he can be is 6'2 with shoes , which would make him 6'0.75 - 6'1 barefoot ! I think 6'0.75 - 6'1 to 6'2 is his height range barefoot !
Mathew said on 8/Jun/09
I'd go with a strong 6'1". 186 cm. 187 cm tops.
James said on 8/Jun/09
You guys also seem to be ignoring the fact that Will Smith was 1.5 inches taller than Al Gore who is at least 6feet tall.
James said on 8/Jun/09
Alright listen maybe 6'3 is a little extreme but whenver Will wore Timberlands he coud look around 6'2.5 ( a weak 6'3 on the show). Of course I don't belive Will is 6'3 barefoot most likely he fluctuates between 6'1.75-6'2 but with the right posture, build and footware he could look a strong 6'2 guy on the Fresh Prince. And I think the difference between him and James Avery fluctauated between 3-2.5 inches.

Will is a lot more muscular and has filled out more today and yeah he can have lows of looking 6'1 I will admit that as well.

In fact I remeber the first episode of the Fresh Prince in 1989 where Will was rake thin and looked a lanky 6'2 on that episode.
lillo thomas said on 8/Jun/09
yeah 6-3 for Will is insane. shredder good clip that show clearly 3 inches between both.
the shredder said on 8/Jun/09
James , sure he can look 6'3 , heck even 6'5 ! Check out this video , he cearly looks taller then James Avery ! lol , just playing ! Really men go to 1:14 on this video , if skinny , big hair , good posture Will Smith looks 6'3 there , then Overweight , no hair , averange posture James Avery looks 6'6 !

Whoever does not see 3 inches between them needs glasses big time ! To be fair he looks 6'1 on fresh prince if anything !

Click Here
James said on 7/Jun/09
Yeah he could look 6'3 next to James Avery who was close to 6'5 during the Fresh Prince Days.
the shredder said on 7/Jun/09
I know lillo , James what is this crap about him looking 6'3 on fresh prince and " BARELY " shorter then James Avery ? Will never looks taller then 6'2 on Fresh Prince and is ALWAYS around 3 inches shorter then James Avery , and yes it is around 3 inches because Will's head only goes up to Avery's eye brows ! thats around 3 inches , not 1.5 like you think !
Derek said on 7/Jun/09
Will has never looked over 6'2" in Fresh Prince. In actuality, 6'1" is more accurate.
lillo thomas said on 7/Jun/09
Oh no he doesn't . Will never looked 6-3 in fresh prince.
James said on 6/Jun/09
rob89 sure he could look 6'3 at times in the Fesh Prince
unknown said on 6/Jun/09
Will has never looked a flat 6 feet only...I don't care what show or movie. Always at least 6 feet 1 in flicks or hell even standing next too James Avery(Uncle Phil) in Fresh Prince in the 90's, a guy not below 6 feet 4 or 6 feet 5 flat. Look at how tall he is next to just a regular door frame. My bet is min. 6 feet 1 or so and no more than 6 feet 2 or so...just my opinion! Talk of 6 feet flat or less is ridiculous. That would make James Avery 6 feet 3 or little less which is just stupid!!!!!!
rob89 said on 6/Jun/09
I think Jake has a point, even if he happens to be Viper in disguise. If it's true what he says about Will appearing barely 6' next to people whose legit heights we know for sure, then he just can't be a genuine 6'2 imo. Also if he was really 6'2, he would often look/give illusions of 6'3 with the build he has, especially onscreen. I don't know about you guys, but i've never seen him look that tall before, even in movies. In movies he usually looks anywhere from 6' to 6'2 to me, never under or over.

Not to say that i think Will is just a flat 6', because i don't believe he's really that low. But 6'2 is just a bit too much for him as well i feel, so i'm going to split the difference and go with a flat 6'1.

And Will didn't really look 6'2 or more in glenn's pic either imo, taking into account glenn wasn't really 5'8 (my height btw), but more like 5'7. iirc, he was 3-4 inches taller than glenn when slouching, so i'd say if he were to straighten up he'd be about 6 inches taller, max 6.5. So that puts him between 6'1 to 6'1.5 up straight in that pic (my opinion of course).
James said on 5/Jun/09
Just about 6'2.
Lenad said on 5/Jun/09
Looked a strong 6ft0 with a slouch but was leaning that made him lose a good 2 inches. This man is 6'1.5 min. I'm sorry Jake but your fighting a losing battle.
Lenad said on 4/Jun/09
No offense to Mr R but i doubt Smith would wear lifts.
James said on 4/Jun/09
TELLEM please look at pics of Will next to 6'.05 Al Gore.
Derek said on 4/Jun/09
Lenad says on 4/Jun/09
"I'd put 60 dollars on a strong 6'2 and 40 dollars on a weak 6'2. Not lower than 187cm. But remember that Mr R said he was a solid 6'2 but didnt rule out lifts making him that height."

Then you'd be down $60. Now that we know Glenn is 5'7", Will is no more than 6'1".
the shredder said on 4/Jun/09
He is atleast around 6'1 just by looking at his frame ! Sure 6'2.5 seems possible with " 5'8 Glenn " , Well sorry , I love him but Glenn is a true 5'7 , Will can not be taller then 6'2 !
Lenad said on 4/Jun/09

TELLEM said on 3/Jun/09
no he doesn't James. how can you say that when ppl on here were screaming 6'2.5 when glenn was 5'8, remember? and that pic wasn't GOOD evidence since will smith was LEANING.
James said on 3/Jun/09
Sorry to dissapoint you Jake but were not the same person.

Even if glenn was 5'6.5 in the pic, Will still looks 6'2 and change.
Jake said on 3/Jun/09
Funny how Will barely looks 6-0 next to measured athletes. The guy is not 6-2. 6-2 is completely ridiculous. He might not be "barely 6-0" but Im willing to beleive that over 6-2 because he looks barely 6-0 in so many pics with people who we know are 100 percent their heights.
bam said on 3/Jun/09
rob, you should put the fisher pic up at the top. It sums up everything. Will smith is 6'2, but can look shorter due to posture. End of story.

his waxwork is bizzare though in madame tassauds. Appears barely 6ft. Obviously thats wrong.
the shredder said on 3/Jun/09
Mr.R thinks he is 6'2 , he can very well be that tall , 6'2 is most likely his height ,but I would not be shocked if he only measured 6'1 !
Hugh 190cm said on 2/Jun/09
We're not the same person me and James. Rob would find out. 6ft0.5 is clearly too low. The height difference between Will and Glenn was too much. 6ft2.5 is more realistic and 6ft0.5. Not saying he is that tall though.
Lenad said on 2/Jun/09
Doesnt look a hair over 6ft2 when he stood next to Jeff Goldblum in Independence day
TELLEM said on 2/Jun/09
jeff goldblum was NEVER over 6'4. 6'5 vince vaughn had a good inch on him in "the lost world" a year after independance day.
James said on 2/Jun/09
Looking at Will Smith next to Al Gore is enough evidense that he is 6'2. I don't think he would have worn lifts either.

TELLEM Jeff Goldblum might have very well been in between 6'4 and 6'5 when Independence Day was made. Nowadays Goldblum may have lost 1cm from his peak height of 6'4.5 and is 6'4 or 6'3.75.
TELLEM said on 2/Jun/09
hes a weak 6'2, did ppl forget how much taller 6'4 jeff goldblum was next to will smith?
Jake said on 2/Jun/09
6-2 Dmijon Hounsou has 1.5 inches over Will. Will at 6-2 is totally laughable.

Yeah, Id say 6-0 1/2 - 6-1 is quite accurate.
Lenad said on 2/Jun/09
He might look 6ft1ish with bad posture but really hes 187cm min and more likely a strong 6ft2 188-189cm
the shredder said on 2/Jun/09
Sorry , but 6'3 is a joke , 6'1 is ok , 6'2 is good !
Hugh 190cm said on 2/Jun/09
6ft0.5 is way too low. 187cm minimum and 189cm MAX. Possibly 190cm after a good night sleep.
Big King said on 1/Jun/09
6'2.5" is a little bit over his actual height, I mean Smith is already a weak 6'2".
James said on 1/Jun/09
In the film Made in America at times he looked 6'1 or 6' 1/2 but that could be loose posture. Next to Ted Danson in that movie he looked almost as tall in comparison and Danson was wearing cow boy boots which would have boosted his height up to 6'4. So maybe Will could be 6'2.5 with good posture?
Lenad said on 1/Jun/09
Rob do you think 188cm is still more accurate then 187cm?
TELLEM said on 31/May/09
will smith with james avery. he doesn't look close to 6'2 here Click Here
Lenad said on 30/May/09
Can look 6ft1ish with bad posture but up straight hes a strong 6ft2.
Ali said on 30/May/09
6'2 is nonsense. Will Smith is tall, but no 6'2.
188 cm guys always look tall, Will Smith does not.

I think 184-185 cm is spot on.
Clay said on 30/May/09
Gingersn says on 29/May/09
Anybody who thinks hes 6-2 cant tell height at all. The guy is barely 6-0 next to an assortment of measured athletes.

Hes always looked 6-o to 6-1 in movies as well.

We quite blatantly obviously know thats you Viper.
Lenad said on 29/May/09
All these crazy folks with wierd names must be Viper. Who else thinks 6'2 is a such a joke? (When quite obviously it isnt)
James said on 29/May/09
I know what you guys mean though in some photos he dosen't always tower guys like a legit 6'2 guy should do but that could have something to do with his posture. 6'2 guys like Paul Walker and Clive Owen maintain good posture hence why they can pull of looking 6'3 sometimes.

lillo thomas said on 29/May/09
of course Rob should downgrade few others as well or upgrade several 6-4 an 6-5 listed guys that are about 4 inches taller than Will.
Tony said on 28/May/09
lillo thomas says on 25/May/09
Brad I think that rob should downgrade Will to 6-1. Legit 6-2 guys can look tall most
of the time. Will is only in the above average range. Will looks like a cool guy
but sorry he isn't close to his crazy 6-2.5 claim.


If rob downgrades will John Ross needs to be downgraded will was Half an inch taller. Also THe director of Bad Boys needs to be downgraded he is 6'2 on this website and will had an inch on him
Dallas said on 28/May/09
I think 6'2 is right on the money for Will Smith. He looked 8 inches taller than 5'6 Alfonso on Fresh Prince and 3 inches shorter than James Avery who's 6'5.
James said on 28/May/09
Remember when he made an apperence in 'All of Us' he looked 6'1 tops in those two episodes of the sitcom.
James said on 27/May/09
Will is a around 6'2. For starters he has 1.5 inches on Al Gore who is still slightly over 6feet nowadays. And don't say Al Gore is 5'11 cause that is silly.
Brad said on 27/May/09
Another reason Glenn's "I'm 5' 8"" was a dog bone. Above average is correct.
Lenad said on 26/May/09
I agree though he doesnt look 6ft2 at all in those pics more like 6ft0.
fred44 said on 25/May/09
I have to agree with Chris, he is 6'1 tops. Glenn has been thoroughly discredited and his name and his sweet pictures should be eliminated.
lillo thomas said on 25/May/09

miko said on 25/May/09
A solid 6"1 is fair but I just don't see a full 6"2.
Brad said on 25/May/09
Lillo, Glenn's 5' 7" is peak, he's already come in from the Bronx at 4 P.M. and has been on his feet for 6+ hours. He's not 6' 2", that's a Glenn comic book figure with Glenn saying Will is "6' 3"" on a good day waking up.
Fatfelix said on 24/May/09
Chris Sanders has a point. Will Smith does look way shorter than 6-2 next to all these athletes.
James said on 24/May/09
Rob did viper use a different IP adress?

Editor Rob
yes he tries, he still is reading the site.
Lenad said on 24/May/09
Chris Sanders must be Viper

Editor Rob
he can be spotted a mile off. He's persistant!
Chris Sanders said on 24/May/09
Will at 6-2, no way in hell. Hes certaintly 1-2 inches below that. Maybe a full 2 inches.

He looked barely 6-0 in pictures with 6-7.25 Lebron James, 6-6.25 Carmelo Anthony, 6-2.5 Baron Davis, 6-8.25 Ronny Turiaf, and 6-4.75 Lennox Lewis. Those are just off the top of my head that have been even posted here already.

So how can you have this guy who looks barely 6-0 next to all these measured athletes at 6-2. It just doesnt add up at all.
James said on 23/May/09
Hugh and yet some people insisted he was 6'0-6'1 barefoot.
Tony said on 23/May/09
Rob can you find anywhere the height of "Polow Da Don" ? sorry for asking here. I cant find his height listed anywhere
Hugh 190cm said on 22/May/09
Guys 6ft2 is no joke. 6ft2.5 isn't a joke either. In his Fresh Prince days he could pull off looking 6ft3 at times! Will is most likely a strong 6ft2 out of bed and 6ft2 or literally a hair less in the evening like 187-188cm. Overall the man is a legit 6ft2 and I don't blame him either for claiming 6ft2.5 as some people were rounding his height down.
lillo thomas said on 19/May/09
will is 6-1 max .he is 6 inches max taller than glenn(4inches with the slouch). remember glenn is 5-7 max in reality 6-2.5 for will is really a joke.
Sheetz said on 18/May/09
Will looks shorter than 6-1 Isiah Thomas. Will at 6-2 is a joke.
unknown said on 18/May/09
Ice and Anon...good observation. Isah was never taller than Will Smith. Will was always just a few inches shorter than James Avery (Uncle Phil). James Avery looked a tad over 6 ft 5 in. the way he comes under the door frame. Will was always about 3 inches shorter and no more than that. 6 ft 2.5 in. seems real and true. People or haters always wanna place him shorter. No shorter than 6 ft 2, that's for dam sure!
gilipollas said on 18/May/09
HEY anonymous, if u WATCH sly stallone hes close to 6 feet...
ice said on 18/May/09
you know what, looking at the Isiah Thomas video, Will does appear to be the bigger man. The only time Isiah looks equal or bigger is when you can't see the feet. But, while they are playing, Will looks bigger. I think this is to keep the tall basketball star image. It sure would have looked funny to have Will taller than him.
Lenad said on 16/May/09
I see a solid 6'2 man when standing straight
John said on 12/May/09
Will Smith seems to tower over Glenn in this picture. He almost has to hunch just to fit into the picture... At least 6'2.
Lenad said on 11/May/09
If Will Smith was wearing lifts while filming Ali with Mr R then they must have only been 1 inch at most because this guy sure as hell isnt 6'1 max barefoot
James said on 10/May/09
6'3 in shoes. 6'4 in big lifts.
Rock said on 9/May/09
Hey ron , the only reason tom cruise didn't look that much shorter than will smith is because he stuffs 3 inch lifts in he's shoes ! to make him appear 5'11 when he's really only about 5'8
Hugh 190cm said on 9/May/09
This guy is an easy 6ft2.
Lenad said on 8/May/09
I wonder what made Mr R think Bill Smith was wearing lifts?
TELLEM said on 5/May/09
Ian says on 5/May/09
Will smith is 6ft1.5 as seen on JR show. They were the same height.

agree
lucifer said on 5/May/09
@Ian, there is no big difference between 6.2 and 6.1,5. And will slouches alot, which makes him appear min. a half inch smaller. and dont forget the shoes, i never looked at what kind of shoes he wears so yea.. idk. he is tall, and when he says hes 6.2 i believe it, why would he lie. he seems to be a really honest person, lol.^^
Lenad said on 5/May/09
Ian I swear that will looked slightly taller than Jonathan Ross not the same
Ian said on 5/May/09

gilipollas said on 4/May/09
TELLEM, exaclty!! BOTH men are walking...BOTH. enough to see. Even more than a pic where a bad angle or bad posture of ONE of them can mislead their heights. Will was even wearing that hairstyle that made him taller.
TELLEM said on 3/May/09
gilipollas says on 2/May/09
TELLEM, heres the video that proves Will is not taller than 6.1 Thomas.
Click Here

thats not good enough proof. both men are walking. its hard to tell really.
Lenad said on 3/May/09
When thing I cant explain is how Will looks the same height as 6'1 max Isiah thomas
gilipollas said on 3/May/09
Will has a great posture and he walks pretty straight himself. nIck Cage is a good sloucher for example, but will? no way dude...no way
SthImaginary said on 3/May/09
gilipollas, really nice watching Will slouching, everyone knows he slouches most of the time, which makes him looks much smaller than he is.
Lenad said on 3/May/09
Gilipollas thinks a strong 6'0. Also I think Carol and Ron are trying to avenge Viper.

Will is a tricky one. I go for the 6 ish and with big sole shoes he may be 6.1 and a half. Met him in Philly long long time ago and he was lanky as hell. A cool guy. Glenn you have a freaky psycho glance there
josh said on 30/Apr/09
that is very intreasting JTrON because i remember about 10 years ago when will present jay z with an award will was taller than him maybe jay z i think one of them is wearing lifts
carol said on 30/Apr/09
Will is average size. He is around 6 feet and 6-1 with shoes on. No more than that. Great site this is!
The Dutchguy said on 29/Apr/09
Will Smith is 6'2 for sure, he looks slightely shorter then the man who played his uncle in the fresh prince, who is 6'4, and in "Hancock" the police height indicator thingy showed that he was 6'2
Ana said on 29/Apr/09
Lenad, I doubt Glenn has seen Sly barefoot really close...
Lenad said on 28/Apr/09
Yeah well Mamanzo Glenn has seen Will more than you have
BrianPep said on 27/Apr/09
He's definitely 6'2 at least, I'm 6'1 and he was taller than me when I met him
ron said on 26/Apr/09
Will is such a cool guy but nowhere near 6-2. Hes 6 feet on the dot. Tom cruise wanst that much shorter than Will in those pics together.
JTRoN said on 25/Apr/09
Someone explain this to me (especially Rob)

how is it that Will at 6'2 looks noticeably shorter than 6'1.5 Jay-z standing against Johnathan Ross. The Second link actually shows Jay and Will standing beside each other and even though Jay is further from the camera, he's taller by and inch or so.

Click Here Will Smith with 6'1.5 Johnathan Ross

Click Here Jay Z with Will Smith and then Ross

Looks like the heights are suppose to be the other way around. 6'2 Jay and 6'1.5 Will
mamonazo said on 25/Apr/09
im not viper. Some people need to get a life and turnt the computer off sometimes. I dont even know the names of the people that post here and i cannot believe some people get into this kind of stupid arguments. I met will and i said what i said. thats my opinion u like it or not. Go search for those pics of beckham with will.
Rocky said on 23/Apr/09
Definitely at least 6'2'' - in this photo, he's bending over big time and still looks 6'0'' or so next to Glen. Standing straight up, he's definitely much taller than that.
mamonazo said on 22/Apr/09
just to let u know im not whoever u think i am. please mods check my ip country etc if that helps. Will is nowhere near 6-2 because im 6 foot and we were same height. I met both becks and will btw.
TELLEM said on 21/Apr/09
mamonazo says on 20/Apr/09
6.05 feet for Will max. He wasnt taller than detroit pistons I.Thomas and on prince of bel air show hes clearly shorter than Uncle Phil who is around 6-2. We all have seen pics of Will with 5-11 david beckham and will wanst that much taller.

post your pics then viper, or better yet, stop talking completely.
Big King said on 21/Apr/09
mamonazo, please don't talk nonsense. James L. Avery who played Uncle Phil in Prince of Bel-Air is almost 6'5". Will Smith looks exactly 3 inches shorter than Avery. That would take Will at a weak 6'2".
Lenad said on 20/Apr/09
Mamonazo is Viper as well probably

I reckon Nathan is Viper. Think about it guys Viper posted pictures of Will Smith 'looking 6'0 at best' and would say that Will is definitly not 6'2 and 6ft2.5 is a joke and now Nathan is saying Will looked 6'0 at best in the pics. Nathan is Viper in disguise.

Editor Rob
of course he is.
Dodie said on 19/Apr/09
Will Smith - 6 foot or 6'1" or 6'2" whatever he's Mighty Fine!!!!!

Nathan said on 18/Apr/09
This dude has never been 6-2 in his life. Even 6-1 could be iffy. In every pic posted with a measured athlete on here Will has looked 6-0 tops. With solid posture to boot. To even give him a 6-2 listing on here makes me think Will is paying off somebody.
TELLEM said on 17/Apr/09
this pic of will and glenn is really hard to tell. i don't know how straight will could stand. i would peg him at 6'2 but he looks about 2.5 inches shorter than 6'4 jeff goldblum...i'll give him 6'1.5.

no with the slouch he looks 5-11 max,glenn is 5-7 remember
. will need a downgrade , the guy is about 6-1.
JTRoN said on 16/Apr/09
6'2? he's the same (possibly a tad shorter) height as Johnathon Ross

Lenad said on 15/Apr/09
Looks 6'0 min with a slouch. Anything under 187cm is out of the question.
lillo thomas said on 13/Apr/09
will could be 6-2 in the morning as he is 6 inches max taller than glenn.
lillo thomas said on 13/Apr/09
will could be 6-2 in the morning
lillo thomas said on 12/Apr/09
glenn is 5-7 in reality. so will is 6-1 at best.
Hugh 190cm said on 11/Apr/09
Hugh Jackman is more of a 189cm guy. No less than 6ft2. Will looks like a normal 6ft2. 189cm out of bed and 187cm at night.
Hugh 190cm said on 11/Apr/09
6ft2 flat for Will is perfect. Which means Will could reach 190cm in the morning.
Ali said on 10/Apr/09
I think Will Smith is exactly 185 ccm, which is a great height.
So 6'1 I think. 6'2 is too much I think.

Will Smith was slightly shorter than Hugh Jackman who is 186-188 cm.
Doug said on 10/Apr/09
Yeah I would have said 6'1.5" too. Makes sense in relation to Goldblum.
Lenad said on 10/Apr/09
He sure as hell didnt look as high as 6'3 next to Jeff Goldblum in Independence day. There was at least 2 inches between them. I think Will Smith could possibly be 6'3 on the dot out of bed but anything higher is out of the question.
Anonymous said on 8/Apr/09
this guy is clearly 6'2 from that picture
Clay said on 4/Apr/09
Will says on 27/Mar/09
I'm flatterd on how you guys talk about my height,I'm 6'1 barefeet. I say 6'2 when I'm out. I like this site keep doing your thing Glenn. Stay tuned for the mark later this year. PEACE

Yeah ok....lol.
RisingForce said on 30/Mar/09
Will is barely 40, why would you assume he's lost height?
yoyo said on 29/Mar/09
Will looks no where over 6ft1.25(186cm). maybe 6ft2 peak, 187 tall reality. he looks to have lost a cm nowadays. i bet his 186 now.
Will said on 27/Mar/09

As I have said in Timberlands Will can appear 6'3.
glenn said on 26/Mar/09
thanks risingforce.i always have the best photo proof on the site,yet people still doubt.
RisingForce said on 25/Mar/09
I would have guessed that Will was more like 6'1.5" before, but Glenn would know better than we would. I'll trust him on this, his picture reflects his in person estimate. Will likely hits 6'2.5" out of bed. He does have horrendous posture which could explain him looking shorter. Glenn's photo proof and estimate is good enough for me.
Big King said on 25/Mar/09
What do you guess? Is Will a strong 6'2" or a weak one?
Scorb said on 23/Mar/09
I wonder why Rob upgraded him? He had him right at 6-1 1/2 max. Will looks like a 6-1-6-1.5 man in most pics, videos, ect. 6-2 is too much.
hs2009 said on 23/Mar/09
Will slouches a lot, which can give the impression of a 6'1" guy. Stood up straight, he's a solid 6'2".
Don said on 20/Mar/09
6 ft 1.5 IN TOPS
Kratos said on 20/Mar/09
6'2 is too much for him,there is no way he is that tall.
Just watch Men in Black,Smith looks only half an inch taller than Jones,and we all know that Jones is 6'0.
glenn said on 20/Mar/09
thanks ace! always nice to hear.late or not.
Ace said on 18/Mar/09
i know this isn't completely on topic... but awesome photo glenn! I just figured i should mention that (even if it is belated). Anyway, he really does look 6`2 minimum in that shot.
runt said on 17/Mar/09
On Fresh Prince he was taller than Branford Marsalis (below at :40) who many think is over 6'

JTRoN said on 17/Mar/09
Will's leaning into the camera, look at the size of his head compared to Glenn's
DejaVu said on 12/Mar/09
The reason why we see under 6'2 is because of his slouch when taking pictures next to shorter actors.
Clay said on 10/Mar/09
Thats cool Fisher, and that goes to show how Will's height can look all over the map while he's really 6'2.
Fisher said on 10/Mar/09
I've seen him around Calabasas numerous times, but this was the first and I didn't know he lived there so I took a snapshot just in case. He was definitely 6'2, when he was walking to his Maybach he passed me by on the side and he had a good 4 inches on me, no lean of course. In the picture his lean for sure is taking off 2 inches off his height.. Its without a doubt thats the case. I saw him a few months ago at a market in our area called Gelsons. Note, this is 2 years later after that pic. And I'm about 5'11.5 now. He still had around 2+ inches on me...
hs2009 said on 10/Mar/09
Will looks 6'0" with Fisher but has a MAJOR lean. Could squeeze out an extra couple of inches if he stood up straight. Seems like Will leans a lot, so can look shorter.

Will is 6'2" for sure if he actually stoob up straight IMO.
glenn said on 10/Mar/09
interesting pic.blurry and hard to tell height though.maybe the sun messed up the pic a bit.so how tall is will in your opinion?.obviously he doesnt look too tall in the pic.
Fisher said on 9/Mar/09
Rob, Glenn:

Here is a pic I took with Will back in '06, I was 16 at the time and about 5'10 flat (now I'm around 5'11.5), it is in Calabasas, CA. I was wearing Nike sandals and Will was wearing a pair of running shoes. He had a minor street advantage cause of an uphill slope but It may not be that big of a deal. By the way, Will lives about a half mile from my house. He's extremely friendly btw.

Lenad said on 9/Mar/09
Yes Complex but Will can pass for 189cm. Morning height or day height he looks it.
glenn said on 9/Mar/09
they are easy to find in new york city efosa.
Efosa said on 8/Mar/09
Glenn how to find all these celebs?
Complex said on 8/Mar/09
Lenad that cracks me up too, because usually someone claims a height, for instance clooney said 5'11, then later on claimed 5'11.5, doesn't make sense he would claim shorter than he was, usually the lower of the too is more accurate. Smith looks anywhere from 6'0.5-6'2, I wouldn't go a hair over 6'2 tho..
Lenad said on 6/Mar/09
When I saw him next to Glenn for the first time I didnt expect him to look this tall. 6ft2.5 morning height I think.
Lenad said on 5/Mar/09
The thing when Rob says 'Has started saying "I'm 6ft2.5"' cracks me up for some reason. Not that 189cm is laughable for Will.
Clay said on 3/Mar/09
6'2 isnt a stretch for Will Smith Alex lol.
glenn said on 3/Mar/09
derek d-his footwear was as normal as mark whalbergs was in my pic from 2 years ago.small lifts was possible for mark.i doubt someone as tall as will would do that.tall people do wear lifts though.rarely.though i saw a 6-1 guy today with huge thick boots on.almost goth boots.but he wasnt a goth,metal,industrial or punk guy.dressed normal except the boots.it was odd.
glenn said on 3/Mar/09
thanks hs2009.
Alex said on 2/Mar/09
6'2 may be a bit of a stretch but I can buy it probably, no more than that though.
hs2009 said on 2/Mar/09
Glad to see you've upgraded him Rob! I've been watching the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air recently & he looks 6'2" next to James Avery. Also looks it with Glenn

Nice pic Glenn!
Anon said on 2/Mar/09
There's a scene in The Pursuit of Happyness where he's running into a BART train and squeezing through - his head is practically touching the ceiling. I walked through a train once and looked up as I entered and there was a pretty good gap there and I'm 5'9.5". He's definitely a tall guy.
derek d said on 1/Mar/09
Glenn was it possible Will was wearing lifts in the picture with you? How did his footwear seem?
_-_-_-Hugh-_-_-_/ said on 28/Feb/09
So you've upgraded him. Perfect listing.
George said on 28/Feb/09
He looked 100% same height as Jonathan Ross, but Ross was wearing dress shoes, and Smith was wearing trainers - so Ross would have had 1/4" more than him. I reckon he is very close to 6'2; probably 6'1.75"

His recent 6'2.5" claim was maybe a morning measurement.
Complex said on 26/Feb/09
I will say the isiah thomas picture really had me thinkin, can someone post that one again? That picture just really made me wonder, even tho I think he's a strong 6'1, I was ok wit 6'1.5, 6'2 seems a very small tad extreme. I've also heard 6'0 evening height, he's a tricky one.
smg said on 26/Feb/09
To add to that, from all the interviews and stuff I've seen from will smith, he looks like a nice person, a funny actor and a successful man in general.
smg said on 26/Feb/09
I don't know why they keep deleting my comments ? was my question insulting somehow ? I just asked why glenn seemed to hate most of wills smith stuff.

Editor Rob
maybe it's going off topic a bit, sometimes I let that happen but generally want to try to stick to height.
Doug said on 26/Feb/09
Avery 6'5". Smith 6'2". Thats make sense. Smith was never 6'3".
Lenad said on 26/Feb/09
Looked at the very most 3 inches shorter than James Avery. 188cm is closer to the truth than 187cm let me tell you.
Complex said on 25/Feb/09
I've always pictured will to be friendly, fantastic actor, and just always seemed he'd be really nice in person..
Clay said on 24/Feb/09
Thats gotta be rare to come across a huge superstar like Will who is as friendly as anyone.
Doug said on 24/Feb/09
Check out Funny Scene From Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air on Youtube. Standing side by side Smith was clearly 3-4 inches shorter than 6'5" James Avery. Difficult to see 6'2" let alone 6'2.5" in comparison. Avery made Smith look nearer 6'1".
Doug said on 24/Feb/09
Smith was never over 6'2" in my view however gangly he looked in his younger years. He can sometimes give a very imposing impression similar to Morgan Freeman of a guy in the 6'2"-6'3" range but Jeff Goldblum who was 6'4.5" barefoot peak had nearer 3 inches on Smith in the 1990s.
glenn said on 24/Feb/09
heard he was tough.i never witnessed it.super sweet guy.never really saw fresh prince.the little i did of it,i found funny.
Lenad said on 24/Feb/09
When he stood next to Jeff Goldblum in Independence day it made me think he wasnt anymore than 6'2 but Glenn has the seen the guy in the flesh so I'll trust him.
glenn said on 23/Feb/09
i dont remember that movie james.i cant stand almost anything smith has done music or movie wise exception being ali and maybe i am legend.
glenn said on 23/Feb/09
black sneakers i think complex.not too sure.wasnt thick boots.thats for sure.
Complex said on 22/Feb/09
I think we're discrediting his footwear, granted he's likely not in lifts, but might be in boots, who knows, I figure if he straightened out he'd get 2 more inches..
the squirell said on 22/Feb/09
yes, you are right he is 6'2 1/2
Ange said on 22/Feb/09
He is a lot taller than I expected. It was hard to gage height in ID-4 where he was surrounded by CGI and those two giants, Baldwin and Goldblum.
sam said on 22/Feb/09
looks way huger than glenn, solid 6'2
Complex said on 21/Feb/09
Glenn what was his footwear like?
Lenad said on 21/Feb/09
Has minimum of 4.5 inches on Glenn and hes leaning that makes him lose a good 2 inches. He is definitly 6ft2.
richer said on 20/Feb/09
he cant be 6'2 well be 6'1
Mr. R. said on 20/Feb/09
Runt, that pic that you have of Will Smith and Al Gore was taken at The NAACP Image Awards which I was at last Thursday. Unfortunately, I did not get too close to either one of them. I heard that Will and Jada were at the party, but they must have come in the side door, because I was at the front door. They did not come through the front door!
Complex said on 19/Feb/09
Can't see the footwear in the gore/smith photo..
RisingForce said on 19/Feb/09
He does look like he could be 6-2.5 with Al Gore. Did anyone see how much Gore dwarfed De Niro who is still probably close to 5-9?

Will at 6-2.5 in the morning makes the most sense to me now. At first I wasn't even sure he's 6-2, but unless he was wearing lifts when Glenn met him or in the picture with Al Gore, 6-2.5 makes sense to me.
Derek said on 18/Feb/09
He does appear to be 6'2". I guess that does mean James Avery was pushing 6'5".
the shredder said on 18/Feb/09
Rob , do you think 6'2.25 is a good guess ?

Editor Rob
at some point in the day he should be that mark...when is the question...

Either T.I. is closer to 5'9 (doubtful) or Glenn is not 5'8 and closer to 5'7(no way to determine) or will isn't 6'2 (?). I dunno man.
glenn said on 16/Feb/09
appreciation is all i ask complex.thank you.
Alex said on 15/Feb/09
Complex, yea the most legit proof of someone's height would be right in front of a height chart on level ground barefoot. I can almost be sure we wont see any of that on this site from celebs, lol.
brotha said on 15/Feb/09
Will always lookes 6'2 in interviews and movies, and especially this new pic". I remember when Will was on American Choppers to receive his bike that the father and son built for him. I remember being a little surprised at how much taller Will was over the dad on the show, he was almost as wide too. He looked huge, must have been adding muscle at that time for a new movie.
Complex said on 14/Feb/09
Legit proof really will never happen, but i'm actually more glad rob let's us post for free :) Though your pics are greatly appreciated! Will did always seem that he would be one of the nicer celebs..
Lenad said on 14/Feb/09
Glenn has seen Will in person and said he was at least 6'2. The pic does pretty much convince me.
glenn said on 14/Feb/09
yes,will is one of the nicest.we were joking around in this pic.

Complex said on 12/Feb/09
Glenn, you have photo evidence but I wouldn't classify it as "LEGIT PROOF", not meant offensive just sayin Legit Proof would be if you and will were standing barefoot straight up with a height chart behind ya'll on level ground. We can't see ya'lls footwear so hard to tell, gives us a good idea tho. I'm so confused on Will but for now i'll give him 6'1 barefoot, 6'1.5 max...
maximus said on 12/Feb/09
at the least he appears to be at least 6'1"...anything below that is not likely. He is not a small person.
George said on 12/Feb/09
I think he is 6'2, he's cleary 4 inches taller than Glenn, & REALLY slouching.

Complex says on 11/Feb/09
Danimal i've heard that too, he does seem minimum 6'0 and max 6'1.5 to me, but i've heard that and didn't hear it on this site first either. Maybe he grew after that like you mentioned or who knows, but I do remember that. How old would he of been in 87?

He was in his late teens when he stated he was 5'11". It was in the late 80's.

I say 6'1 and a half as minimum and 6'2 as max. He is in a range between those those two stimations.

"I SWEAR to GOD that Will stated he was 5'11" in 1987-1989 in a teen magazine. Did he grow after that? Who knows?"

Will said he stopped growing at 13. I believe he said he was 6'2" 150 at that age.
Lego said on 11/Feb/09
yep easy 6'2 on the dot, he could pass for shorter because of his built but his posture don't really give much doubt.

6'2
Gago said on 11/Feb/09
Thanx for this photo Glenn, this proves what I used to say years ago, that this guy is nothing less than 6'2, I met him couple years ago, very cool and funny guy, and thanx Rob for looking into his height and correcting it.

did will grow??? here we are again.nothings changed.i have legit proof on top and people are still saying 6ft.

I'm positive Viper would say I'm 5'7 if he met me

he hasn't a right posture in the picture. Looks 6' 2" in this picture, but i give to him 6'2.5" or 6'3" right standing
RisingForce said on 11/Feb/09
I did see a bizaree picture where Tom Cruise looked 4.5 max shorter and both appeared to be in normal dress shoes. Plus for a change Tom didn't have a real posture advantage on Will.

Then again you have pictures like this where you can see their entire bodies and Will has 6 inches on Cruise. Click Here

Tom's shoes, while not very big there, could certainly fit a little lift in there comfortably. Tom has been very good in recent years at getting the most out of normal looking shoes.

Cruise at about 5-8 and Will at about 6-2 makes sense.
Complex said on 10/Feb/09
I think it's possible Will could be a flat 6'0 in the late evening, I also see 6'1, but again I say 6'1.5 max, not over. That pic vegas posted is interesting, Thomas definately doesn't look 6'1 there, I'm with alex on this one, I can't explain that one, just doesn't add up at all.
Danimal said on 10/Feb/09

ok so if Will is 6-2, what height was uncle Phil in prince of bel air? 6-4? he was like 2 inches taller than Will.
Hugh said on 10/Feb/09
Honsou is 6ft2 how does that make 6ft1.5 better.
Alex said on 10/Feb/09
Vegas, unsure on him. If Thomas is as low as 5'10 which he does look with 6'7 Rodman because thats 8 inches. Then it makes Will 5'10 too which can't be true. Can't really explain that one.
JackT said on 10/Feb/09
He cant be 6'2, because of this pic. Click Here Yes he is leaning in a bit, but the distance is bigger than what a lean would equate for. Also, we all know LL is smuggling a whole lot more head in his hat than Smith is.
glenn said on 10/Feb/09
yes,james.very friendly.we joked a bit.
Anonymous said on 10/Feb/09
U can clearly see that Will is hunching over so I would say yeah that he would be 6,2
Alex said on 10/Feb/09
6'2 would be a push I still think though he looks it in the picture above. In most other shots and on tv he normally looks 6'1-6'1 1/2.
Vegas said on 10/Feb/09
there isn't any real proof that thomas is a legit 6'1 either, in this photo with dennis rodman he doesn't look 6'1 with 6'7 rodman, funny thing is most long term posters on this site think rodman is max 6'6, that would make thomas like 5'10-5'11 there, i stand taller next to two 6'6 men in photos than thomas does there :) Click Here

I can buy a solid 184cm at the lowest with Bad posture there. Up striaght hes at least a weak 188cm.

Those 6'1.5 claims are ridiculous. He is every bit of 6'2. Probaly 188-89 cm. Looks 184-85 while slouching in that pic
Blackray said on 10/Feb/09
Well by this estimate, Jay Z must be 6ft 3in and UK T.V host Johnathan Ross also 6ft 2in, which is not correct. Will Smith is no more than 185cm tall for sure. This pic means nothing to me, can't see his footwear or the ground on which he and Glenn stand.
