Well if Isiah is a legit 6'1" then Charles Barkley sure needs an upgrade because I've seen pictures of the 2 where the top of Isiah's head is no higher than Barkley's eye level.
Complex said on 9/Feb/09
Looks a strong 6'1 in that pic with glenn, he's prolly 6'1, I wouldn't go over 6'1.5 barefoot for him tho..
Stephanie said on 9/Feb/09
My ex-husband worked with him on Ali set. He took pic with him. My ex was about 1-2 inch taller than Will. My ex is 6'4. So, you can do the math...6'2.5 is probably accurate...
T.J. said on 9/Feb/09
good to see you upgraded him rob, i still think he's wearing lifts.
He dosen't look like a total giant next to alfonso ribearo like he does next to glenn, and alfonso's only 5'5"!
Ant said on 9/Feb/09
Will is 6ft 2 (easy) and Glenn is 5ft 8, use your eyes every one!! the whole Will 5ft 11 and glen 5ft 5 nonsense is boring, move on.
Alex said on 9/Feb/09
I am not even sure how tall Isiah Thomas even is. Looks a legit 6'1.
Clay said on 9/Feb/09
Why post that video with Isiah Thomas? Why? I guess Glenn is 5'5 then.
Donatello said on 9/Feb/09
Will seems a solid 6'2" here, easy 6 inches over glenn. I could see him being 6'1" 3/4 after being awake for 10+ hours though. I think alot of people judge Wills height off when he was starring in the fresh prince of bel-air but you have to remember he was only like 17-19 when he was acting in that show he could of possibly grown in his early 20's. I also noticed he looks shorter in the earlier episodes. In some of the later episodes hes really not all that much shorter then his uncle.. forgot the actors name.
glenn said on 9/Feb/09
yes,its a mystery that will can look shorter.i guess with bad posture i saw him at 6-1 once.i said to him "6-2 or 6-3".he responded "6-2.5".i say 6-2.5,6-3 in the morning on his best day.
glenn said on 9/Feb/09
thanks derbi!
glenn said on 9/Feb/09
yes nate.always one of the nicest.heard he was tough in late 90s.i saw him on both men in black sets.always cool.
lillo thomas said on 9/Feb/09
rob must upgrade James Avery as well . He got Will by atleast 3 inches . Is very hard to know Will height by this pic since he is leaning but he isn't under 6-1 for sure.
Red said on 9/Feb/09
I still think 6
Red said on 9/Feb/09
Brian says on 8/Feb/09
@ Red: Gottschalk is a strong 6ft4.
NOWAY, hes 6
runt said on 9/Feb/09
Finally!
Actually Will often crouches in pics, even with people like LL Cool J. There's no way a guy would crouch so often if he were trying to perpetrate a fraud.
The Horse of FUNK said on 9/Feb/09
Whoa... wow.. Come on, Alex, this guy is clearly over 6'1". But wow, I wasn't expecting Will to look THIS tall. I mean the guy is even hunching over big-time and still towers over Glenn. I gotta admit Glenn's estimate of 6'2.5" is looking mighty good. But I'd personally give Will 6'2.25", a strong 6'2" man.

I sware to god on TRL, Charlize theron was taller than him when she wore heels. so can a girl that's four and 1/4 inches shorter than will stand taller with heels? what do u think rob?
Anonymous said on 9/Feb/09
6"2 looks proper from this pic
Anonymous said on 9/Feb/09
Actually he seems taller than I expected. Could be a tad over 6
Alex said on 9/Feb/09
He could still be just 6'1 but no less. That 5'11-6'0 stuff is crap.
Alex said on 9/Feb/09
Both Will and Iasiah both look about the same height in certain shots.
rob89 said on 9/Feb/09
Wow, I didn't expect him to look that tall next to glenn! Looks like he would be a solid 6'2 if he sorted his posture out here, or at the very least 6'1.5.
Gonzalo said on 9/Feb/09
He looks very tall next to Glenn and he isn
the shredder said on 9/Feb/09
I got to say I don't see ANYTHING but 6'2 ! ... Rob , since you upgraded Will ... You GOT to upgrade James Avery !
the squirell said on 9/Feb/09
looks way taller than the other guy in the photo. He has to be a legit 6'2 or even possibly 6'2 1/2. But certainly not 6'3, otherwise he would look like a giant.
xyzblast said on 9/Feb/09
You can't tell anything from that pic. It's just as good as not having a pic.
reggie said on 9/Feb/09
why the downgrade? always looks 6-2+
Brad said on 9/Feb/09
Will is all over the place depending on his tricky footwear. I think Rob has it nailed, maybe 6' 2". Doesn't age. Looked 6' 3" in Ali but that was clever casting.
ACG said on 9/Feb/09
This guy's gotta be upgraded....he looks every bit of the 6'2.5 glenn has him at.
Editor Rob
I will put will at 6ft 2.
T.J. said on 8/Feb/09
looks 6'3" if he straightens up
Danimal said on 8/Feb/09
Sorry, but I can't overlook this video with Will and 6'1" MAX Isaiah Thomas... Will is DEFINITELY shorter than him. There is NO optical illusion there:
Click Here
Danimal said on 8/Feb/09
Why was 6'1" Isaiah Thomas taller than him in a FULL body shot (they were both wearing sneakers)? He definitely looks taller than that next to Glenn. Not sure what to think.
Alex said on 8/Feb/09
I can see him looking 6'2 with good posture but not as much as 6'3. He's not as low as 6'0 nor as high as 6'3. Somewhere in the 6'1-6'2 range. Thats for sure.
nate said on 8/Feb/09
Yeah he's definitely 6'2. He's gotta be one of the nicest celebs you've ever met, right Glenn?
Clay said on 8/Feb/09
Can we ''officially'' put the 5'11 for Will theory to rest? Bahahaha.
Derbi said on 8/Feb/09
Good photo Glenn!
DejaVu said on 8/Feb/09
He is slouching and he looks 6 foot min in this pic. I think this pretty much rules out anything that is 6'1 or lower.
Brian said on 8/Feb/09
@ Red: Gottschalk is a strong 6ft4.
derek d said on 8/Feb/09
Glenn how tall did he seem while standing up straight? He looks great and looks like nice guy
Dural said on 8/Feb/09
Red, Gottschalk says himself he's 193cm, that's 6'4. 6in on Glenn straightened up. 6'2" morning, 6'1.5" evening.
glenn said on 8/Feb/09
6-2.5 like he told me.
Clay said on 8/Feb/09
We all knew he was around 6'2, this just proves it.
Anonymous3 said on 8/Feb/09
6'2 within half an inch either way. I can buy near 6'2.5 morning. Hes tall. No doubt.
miko said on 8/Feb/09
He could be anywhere between 6"0 and 6"3.
Lifts are a possibility, but I just don't know with this guy.
U turn said on 8/Feb/09
187cm strong at the lowest. Looks like he could pass for 6ft3 if he stood with better posture.
jay89 said on 8/Feb/09
6'1.5" is a joke.
6'2.5" sounds right for him. fully stretched out in the morning i'd even say 6'3.
i can tell because people always think that i'm 6'1 or sth but when i stretch out, like to my absolute full extend, i'm 6'3. nobody walks around like that tho, so most tall people give a slighly shorter impression.
its about time for an upgrade, rob!
thekiddd said on 8/Feb/09
I personally think 6'1.25"
Red said on 8/Feb/09
glenn, I can
Joe said on 8/Feb/09
6-1 is out of question, anything under that is crazy talk. 6-2 seems the most plausible height for him...
September said on 8/Feb/09
He looks like he could easily be 6'3" if he'd actually stand properly straight. Unless he was standing on a curb or wearing platformed hiking boots, I think you guys should at least give him his claim of 6'2.5"
RisingForce said on 8/Feb/09
He'd look 6-2.5 here if he straightened up. Maybe Glenn was right all along.
Alex said on 8/Feb/09
I think Rob has him right at 6'1.5. Thats a fair listing. He's def 6'2 out of bed I'd say. 6'1 in the evening.
the shredder said on 8/Feb/09
YES , about time ! ... looks 4 inches taller then Glenn with this posture , but standing better I say 6'2 or so !
adam said on 8/Feb/09
Looks a lot taller than Glenn. If he would straighten up, he would be at least six inches taller.
Dr Pepper said on 8/Feb/09
Glenn You look amazed...Im well jealous!
Alex said on 8/Feb/09
Anything under 6'1 for Will is out of the question now. He is leaning some and still has Glenn by about 4 inches. If he straightens he'll probably gain another 2 inches. He does look 6'1.5-6'2 with Glenn though.
Lenad said on 6/Feb/09
I agree 100 percent.
Lenad said on 5/Feb/09
Glenn thinks Will Smith is 6'2.5. I still think Will is 6'1.5 though.
Alex said on 4/Feb/09
Katie Holmes may be a legit 5'9. Easily a bit over 5'8 at least. She is always taller than Cruise. Barefoot shes probably an inch taller.
RisingForce said on 4/Feb/09
No less than 6-1.5, no more than 6-2.5. I'm not sure how tall Will is.
RisingForce said on 3/Feb/09
He could very well be 6-2, 6-2.5. He's nothing under 6-1.5, it's hard to tell because of his posture.
the shredder said on 3/Feb/09
Rob , can He still be legit 6'2 ? ... Im looking at recent pics of him next to Alfonso and he looks 9 inches taller , go to gettyimages ! He is 6'2 or Alfo is more like 5'5 to 5'6 !
Complex said on 2/Feb/09
I agree parker, lemme start by saying personally, I really think he's 5'7 flat, like if someone asked me, i'd say "not more than 5'7" but I don't rule out him being taller because I haven't met him and it may be flak from the media, now if asked, I will say 5'7 tops, because that's what I truly believe, but that doesn't mean i'm wrong, he may very well be 5'8, 5'9 I truly doubt, but just cz I say 5'7 tops doesn't mean I'm not open to 5'8 or above 5'7, that just means that's what I personally think, i've been known to be wrong before, especially on stuff like chemistry tests, lol :)
Alex said on 1/Feb/09
I wouldn't put Cruise more than 5'8.
Parker said on 1/Feb/09
Fair enough Complex. I'm on the page not less than 5'7,and more likely 5'8. No taller. I don't think he's 5'7 flat, but could not say with 100% certainty.
Complex said on 31/Jan/09
Parker I don't think he's 5'7 tops, if I said that then someone must of directed a rude comment at me and I responded out of anger, i'm not suggesting that it's impossible that he's 5'8, it may very well be, I do however think it's unlikely, but I will say if he's 5'8, then the short sightings for him over his career and the flak from he media is the strangest conspiracy that i've ever seen, but it's possible tho. Personally I think that it's possible for Cruise to measure anywhere from 5'6.5-5'8, I usually go with 5'7 cuz that's what I believe, I don't think he would ever measure much higher than 5'8 tho.
Parker said on 31/Jan/09
Cruise is 5'9 in normal flat shoes Complex. For barefoot height, check out his height barefoot next to his 5'9 wife. You come across as an intelligent guy Complex, so I suspect your
trolling continuing with your 'Cruise is 5'7 tops'claims - so I won't be replying to you anymore.
Complex said on 31/Jan/09
Parker I meant all barefoot evidence points to Tom being 5'7, maybe in elevator shoes he looks 5'8-5'9 which is what i'm assuming ya'll are claiming as evidence. I think the difference is i'm estimating barefoot heights and alot of ppl here are judging morning heights and shoe/elevator heights. Cruise looking 5'9 in elevators doesn't serve as stone cold proof that he's 5'8 in casual sneakers to reach 5'9, it lets me know he's really 5'7!
Clay said on 30/Jan/09
Complex, just curious man do you think Im an inflator? I think im calling a spade a spade on every page, but im sure im off on a lot of them. Hell, we're ALL off on most of them.
glenn said on 30/Jan/09
gotcha complex.
Parker said on 30/Jan/09
Again we'll have to agree to disagree Complex. Based on Rob's measurement of his own height, I believe Rob is conservative with a lot of his height estimates and has himself stated 'go with lunchtime height' on the estimates, so listing Cruise at 5'7.75 means he is at least a cm taller on wakeing. So calling someone of that height 5'8 is certainly not downgrading.
Also have to disagree on your comment of not seeing one piece of evidence supporting Cruise at 5'8, ALL the evidence supports him being 5'8 or a tad under but not ONE piece of evidence supports him being less than 5'7. Granted you have to a accept the heights listed here for Katie Holmes,Ben Stiller,Dustin Hofmann, David Beckham as Cruise looks 2 and 2.5 inches taller than Stiller and Hoffman respectively in every picture and 3 to 4 inches shorter than Beckham. You'll no doubt throw in 'lifts' but there is no proof either way on whether he is wearing them, or Stiller and Hoffmann are wearing them in the pictures. On that front,you then have to go for the barefoot pic with his wife where he is clearly within an inch of her height. You also have personal sightings from Glenn, Brad and Mr R that he is indeed around 5'8. That's the evidence. Unless your calling 'heresay' evidence. i.e 'I've heard it from more than one source he was once measured at less than 5'7' or 'If he wasn't less than 5'7 he wouldn't get all the media flak he does'...
Or - Unless your using Tellem's logic that says
Complex said on 28/Jan/09
Glenn I can name a few of ppl besides you that I think inflate, and no I don't think they inflate all the time but occasionally I do think they inflate. I've read a few posts that said "Rufalo 5'10" (which is crazy by the way) but all i'm saying is inflation is just as common as downgrading, and inflators don't see that cuz they think they're right, and downgraders don't see that cuz they think they are right. It's a viscious cycle, but Glenn if we go by what height I think they are, there would be a ton of inflation, but i'm saying there is inflation even with the heights that rob has that I think are a little generous.
That's like me saying "Downgrading doesn't happen on this site". that would be nuts to say, just like saying ppl don't inflate on this height. Now end of discussion for me ;)
glenn said on 28/Jan/09
nobody inflates here by your standards except me complex.im the one that said ruffalo was 5-10.cause thats how i saw him.unless he wore lifts.which i doubt.im tired of this discussion.thank you.
Complex said on 27/Jan/09
very well said ch, very well said, I was trying to say what you said but it was hard to spit the words out but I would say you nailed it! I don't know why ppl inflate and i'm not near as tall as you but I claim my legit height which makes other inflaters seem like liars when they claim the same height as me yet stand 2 to 3 inches shorter, classic inflation, it's everywhere!
CH said on 27/Jan/09
Complex did make a good point. Most people inflate their own heights. If a 5'10" guy, who claims to be 6', or 6'1", meets a celebrity, of course, they will say that the celebrity is 6'2", etc., if it supports their own height claim.
I was measured as a barefoot 6'4.75". My own measurements range from that same, 6'4.75", to 6'5.25". I claim 6'5" as my height, which I think it very accurate. I am probably taller than many other people who would claim to be 6'4" or 6'5", because most people who claim 6'4" or 6'5", are actually 6'2" to 6'3", and in some cases, maybe even shorter. I don't know if some people get off on inflating their height, or if people just don't know how to measure themselves. People must measure themselves, in shoes, including their hair in their height.
I have a friend who is about 6'1.5", who used to claim to be 6'4", until I called him out on it. I literally got a tape measure out, and put his claim to rest. He claims the doctor told him he was 6'4", when he went in for a physical. My conclusion is that the doctor told him his height, in inches, and said "seventy-four", and he thought he said "six-four". When I was measured at the doctor, they told me in total inches, not feet and inches, as that is how the contraption is labeled, when they measure you.
The point being, there are many reasons why people inflate their own heights, purposely, or not, and that very fact, means that many people will inflate other people's height, as well. If you claim 6'2", but are 6', and you meet someone, who is a legit 6'5", you will claim they are taller than 6'5", because you, only 6', claim 6'2", and clearly they are more than 3" taller.
Complex said on 26/Jan/09
Glenn it could be inflating if the person that met the celebs inflated their own height. Not saying you do that, but I know a guy that's 5'10.75 and claims 6'1, so if he met someone like will Smith, he would prolly say Smith is 6'3.5-6'4 to support his own height claim. But ppl inflate here just as much, for instance a 6'1 willis. My point was the inflation from what Rob has, not what glenn says he knows for fact because those of us that hven't met certain celebs don't know that for a fact...and if we go by what rob has and someone claims higher than that, then they're inflating past robs' listing.
I think inflation is pretty common here, i've even heard a 5'10 mark ruffalo on this site, hw can you guys say there is no inflation.
But parker I solely disagree that the majority of ppl that post here believe Cruise is 5'8, alot think 5'7, but you just put your foot in your mouth cuz you said ppl don't inflate past what rob has the celebs listed, I say they do, well if they so-called don't inflate what rob has them listed and you say the majority believe 5'8 or cruise, well guess what, rob has him at 5'7.75, therefore the majority of the ppl here would be inflating. It seems that most here want to inflate yet say they're not inflating, can't have your cake and eat it to guys, I know, it's a sucky expression that rings true.
Use evidence to support ya'lls claims as well. I've yet to see the first piece of evidence that supports a 6'1 willis or a 5'8 cruise. Get with the program, call a spade a spade! Inflation is just as common or at least close to as common as downgrading.
Plus to me if you anyone in anyone claims over a height they never hit, that's inflation, no way around it. So if someone's absolute max is 5'7.75 and they claim their 5'8, the're inflating, they never hit that height, granted they may can get away withit, but if we're going by wat someones actual height is, it's inflating! All this inflating is making me dizzy actually, lol! But really an inflater calling a downgrader a downgrader is pointless unless ya'llhave measured the celebs.
Even the one's glenn has met are just estimates to the best of his knowledge, not meaning any disrespect but unless Glenn pulled out a tape measure and said "off with the shoes and shave you're head you're getting measured." Then it's safe to assume he gave his best estimate, which can be tricky due to elevators and lifts, that's all i'm saying is alot don't know their own heights, much less the heights of others.
Clay said on 26/Jan/09
Complex - fair enough, but those are two very popular pages. What I mean (and I think what Glenn means too) is you have some OBVIOUS downgraders with agenda's, who downgrade on EVERY page. You dont see ANYONE with an ''inflation'' agenda and trying to make everyone taller than what they are. At least I havent seen it.
glenn said on 25/Jan/09
exactly parker, james and risingforce.
RisingForce said on 25/Jan/09
Thanks Glenn, I don't really see where I'm inflating anyone either. I have stated many times that I mean morning height as well.
glenn said on 24/Jan/09
is not inflating when you actually met the celeb and have pics to back you.i may not have a pic with willis,but its clear that i saw him dozens of times over 20 years.risingforce is just saying what he feels is right.which happens to be closer to the truth.
Parker said on 24/Jan/09
Well I checked through the Cruise pages Complex and not seen anyone claiming he was 5'9. Even ACG says he'd BELIEVE 5'9 more than 5'7 tops, but went onto admit he was likely not 5'9. I haven't trawled through the Stallone pages. I'm on the page of 5'9/5'10 for Stallone but not really sure,but can't buy he's less than 5'9. In contrast I'd put my mortgage on Cruise not being under 5'7, but not on him being 5'9. He's approx 5'8 in my opinion, and the majority that post here.
Complex said on 24/Jan/09
Glenn you misunderstood my friend. Clay said ppl don't claim more than an inch of what rob has them listed, you for instance say Willis is 6'1, Rob had him listed at 5'11.5, so that's more than an inch inflation. You're reasoning is "i'm not inflating because I know Willis is 6'1" Even tho he's listed here at 5'11.5.
Sayin ppl don't inflate heights here is just plain IGNORANT, makes ppl look silly. Rising inflates sometimes, not saying he's always wrong or right, but ppl also say Cruise may be 5'9 some say 6'0-6'1 for pitt. Glenn said no one inflates and used sly as an example. Me and Clay's discussion was clay said no one inflates over an inch at what Rob has them listed. Glnn said Sly is 5'10.75 which he claimed ws not an inflation. Well if you go by what me and clay are saying Rob has sly at 5'9 and Glenn says 5'10.75, that right there proves that ppl inflate more than an inch of what Rob has them listed. Which was our discussion. But even besides what Rob has them listed, ppl inflate in general. For instance, ppl say 6'2 for Hayden Christensen who himself says 6'0???? That's called inflation, just curious but the ppl here that say inflation is not happening on this site..do ya'll know what inflation means? Cuz I have a dictionary for those that need help although it would seem pretty self explanatory, tellem hit the nail on the head, if there is downgrading on this site, there is inflation. Some of the upgraders (as I call em) think that they're right and since they're right they're not inflating and the same guys with downgraders thinking they're right and vice verca. The only way to know for sure is we would have to know the celebs exact heights which NO ONE ON THIS SITE KNOWS. Rob himself says these are estimates, hell some ppl don't even know they're own heights in everyday life, the only way to know for sure is if they got physically measured in barefeet laying down which would eliminate floor debates.
Parker go read the older posts on cruise and sly's pages, you'll see bth of those, ppl still argue today that they think 5'9 for Cruise. Just because you yurself are not arguing doesn't mean others aren't. Inflation is just as common as downgrading.
Now, i'm gonna nead an hour or two to laugh hysterically at everyone that said there is no inflation on this site, i'll be in my room blood red laughing if anyone need me.

RisingForce said on 24/Jan/09
As far as Bruce, well I don't rule out 6'1" because he can look it, but the mid 90's Planet Hollywood pictures with Arnold, the recent pictures with Kevin Costner, Bruce next to Cybill Shepherd and The Rocky Balboa premiere make me think he's shorter. At the Balboa premiere he was a half inch shorter than Sly. Sly had 3"/3.25" elevators and Bruce had 1.5"/1.75" heels. So I can't really see Bruce 2.25" taller than Sly today.
Then again he looked about 6'1" next to Denzel Washington, Chris Tucker, Gerard Butler, Tom Cruise and Robert Downey Jr. so who knows?
I'd have to see Bruce in person to give him an accurate estimate. For now I just think that just over 6 ft like 6'0.25" is safe for him.
I still haven't figured out peak Burt Reynolds at all though either.
glenn said on 23/Jan/09
thats possible james.cruise is most likely 5-8 flat though.
glenn said on 23/Jan/09
you always made sense parker.thanks for the support.not true on cruise,acg backs you on a possible 5-9.i also dont think its impossible.highly unlikely.5-8.25 is the max i give cruise.5-7,5-8 for stallone is impossible.
Parker said on 23/Jan/09
Absolutely true Glenn. And I have never seen a 5'11 claim for Sly and cannot recall a 5'9 claim for Cruise.(apart from himself lol)
glenn said on 22/Jan/09
on point risingforce.though i think willis is 6-1 morning.he wakes at all crazy hours.crazier than me.so i see him tall.
glenn said on 22/Jan/09
thank you clay.you have always been within reason.one doesnt have to agree.but some here downgrade straight across the board.no,celebs dont wear lifts as much as one thinks,and they dont always lie.their publicists lie more.love ya too.
Clay said on 22/Jan/09
Glenn, I love ya man. You're so right on all accounts. These celeb's say their height in random interviews, NOT EVERY CELEBRITY lies about their height or fibs 2 inches. Glenn meets them, gets pictures with them, and posts them on the site - so Glenn is the most credible person on this site, PERIOD.
TELLEM said on 22/Jan/09
complex is correct...if ppl downgrade here, ppl inflate here aswell...remember thats talking about rob's height listing...its no huge deal...because at the end of the day...the celebs height are real close to everyone's estimate unless u actually think will smith is really 5'11 or sly is 5'6..then ur way off
RisingForce said on 22/Jan/09
Exactly Glenn. Both of us who claim 5'10.75" for Sly have always said we meant morning height. That's what I think for Cruise at 5'8" as well, Smith at 6-2ish and Willis at around 6 feet.
I believe all of those heights, but only in the morning.
glenn said on 22/Jan/09
nobody inflates heights here.clay is right.nobody ever said 5-11 for sly.he is or was 5-10.75 in the morning if he is lucky.he is around 5-10.will smith is around 6-2.tom cruise is around 5-8.bruce willis is around 6ft,or 6-1.not a hair more or under.inflation is only to those in disagreement.60 to 75 percent here on the site downgrade for their own needs.to make themselves feel good they are the same height as a celeb.or that they are taller than the celeb to feel better.or just plain want to be right on everything.its human nature to exaggerate.thats why this site is here.to speculate.except im the closest to the truth your going to get.with that,i get haters.not complex or tellem.though they do downgrade.
CH said on 21/Jan/09
People fib their heights by more than an inch, in some cases. I am a barefoot 6'5". I work for an airline, and frequently have to check people's I'Ds. It amazes me at the heights that some people claim. People claiming to be 6'2" and 6'3", yet I tower over them. I have a friend who used to claim to be 6'4", so finally I measured him, being as though, I, at 6'5", was a lot more than 1" taller than him. He measured at 6'1.5".
In looking at a lot of pictures of Will Smith, he seems to frequently wear large heels (lifts?). That is one thing I've noticed. May mean nothing, may mean he wears lifts to obtain his 6'2" claim.

That's what i'm saying James, clay said that ppl never upgrade heights above what Rob has them at and I was giving him a list of some heights that some have claimed for these stars which are absurd.
Anonymous said on 21/Jan/09
man will looks pretty tall next to nichole kidman even with her wearing heels I hope will aint wearing lifts.Actually will could be well what he says he is which ya 6 ft 2 even 6 ft 2 and quarter to half it is wierd that he shrinks in height sometimes cause that cant happen not after you ve missed a whole night of sleep or maybe you can get back to that height you were before you missed that night of sleep, but I dont know yet cause havent grown back to that height yet, and dont know if I am.
Clay said on 21/Jan/09
Well I have to disagree there Complex I see a lot more people with agenda's downgrading than inflating. For the most part most of the posters get it within an inch either way, so its pretty hard to argue because the truth is none of us have a clue how tall the person is.
For the record, I mentioned this a few weeks back, but Conan O'Brien told Jada pInkett Smith in an interview that will is a ''very tall guy..and heavy''. Now, if he was 5'11 to 6'1, in that range, I dont think the 6'4-6'4.5 Conan would say that. Will is minimum 6'1.
Complex said on 21/Jan/09
Clay some do, some say 6'1 willis?, 6'3 kutcher?, 6'1 brad pitt?, 6'0 mcconaughey?, 5'9 tom cruise?, most of those are 2 inch inflations or more and that's just to name a few. I do agree that Rob's listings are more accurate than most cuz he does shave 0.5-1 inch off what they claim, but some here upgrade big time. To name a few more 5'11 for sly? 6'2 timberlake? 5'10 shia lebouef. Inflation is just as common as downgrading on this site yet alot of ppl don't think inflation is bad cuz ppl like to claim their max or higher than their max and downgrading is looked bad upon because if a star is downgraded then a regular person might have to downgrade theirs for instance. And I agree clay most inflate by an inch but I know ppl that inflate as high as 4 inches. Like my 5'10 (5'6) friend and my 6'1 (5'10.75) friend or even my 5'7 (5'4) friend. It happens.

Complex, nobody really upgrades anyone 2 or 3 inches above what Rob has them listed. Rob usually scrapes off an inch from what these celeb's say their height is, going by the standard rule everyone fibs their height by an inch.
Complex said on 19/Jan/09
James I somewhat see what you're seeing but not really, maybe with smith it was called downgrading but Diesel I do agree is more 5'10, especially next to 5'9-5'10 barry pepper Diesel was a max 1 inch taller and in HUGE boots. And clearly shorter than malkovich. But him downgrading super low is no different than ppl upgrading super high. For instance ppl saying Cruise is 5'9. I'd believe a 5'10 Diesel anyday over a 5'9 Cruise. But for some reason when ppl downgrade (saying heights lower than listed here) they are looked down upon but when ppl upgrade 2 to 3 inches, which is insane, no one says a word, it's wierd!
Anonymous said on 19/Jan/09
Sorry I meant I agreed with the 6ft 1/2in for Will not 5ft 11in as Danimal stated which is too low.
Clay said on 19/Jan/09
Viper downgraded everyone in sight, not just those two. Damon, Wahlberg, Clooney (the only person I've seen have Clooney under 5'10 was Viper). Basically if you had a page on celebheights.com, Viper was going to downgrade you.
runt said on 19/Jan/09
Terrance Howard is listed here at 6-0.25 and the lowest he could prolly be is 5-11. Did you see the first pic I posted on Jan 16? Will is stooped over and is still taller than Howard. You guys must be saying Will Smith is the only actor in Hollywood who wears lifts.
Hugh said on 19/Jan/09
Danimal. Don't worry Lenad. Not you.
Complex said on 19/Jan/09
Viper wasn't off on all heights though hugh, in all fairness he was fairly accurate on many. Some ppl here over-shoot celebs heights even more than the celeb claims themselves yet never get as much flack about it as viper did, too me that's more silly than anything cuz if I celeb says they're 6'0 and someone says "no way, they're 6'2" You can safely assume the celeb isn't downgrading. Personally I think Smith is either a tad over a strong 6'0 or 6'1 at the most. Never 6'2-6'3. Evening height he's prolly under 6'1 truth be told. And if ya'll wanna label me as the new viper too then that's fine, i'll just label ya'll as the new rising force...just kidding rising ;) you're the man! all in fun...

Danamil 5'11 for Will Smith? Then I guess Tom Cruise must really only be 5'4, Jim Carrey is only 5'10 and Tommy Lee Jones is no more than 5'9.
How hard is it to actually copy my proper username, without mixing up the vowels? JOKE ;)
CH said on 18/Jan/09
In the picture of Will Smith, with Romo (who is 6'2", according to the Dallas Cowboy's website), they may appear the same height, but notice that Romo's head is cocked to the side, and he is also slouching over. If he were standing straight, it appears he would be taller than Will Smith. Also, notice the shoes Will Smith has on. Pay particular attention to his left foot. He has on some pretty big heels. Romo, on the other hand, is wearing a pair of sneakers, that appear to offer very little lift.
Im not going to come right out and say Will Smith is not 6'2", but in my opinion, based on the picture with Romo, it doesn't seem so. Maybe he is 6'2", with shoes.
Blackray said on 18/Jan/09
Well said Danimal, one of the few people on here that agree with my estimate of Will's height. I've seen his waxwork in Madame Tussauds so I know.

Will Smith is 6ft 1/2 . Just look this Click Here
and you will see will smith walking beside 6ft 1inch Isiah Thomas and you will see that he is shorter than isiah . So he can't be 6ft 2 not even in his wildest dreams. Unless of course he was still growing when he was casting in "fresh prince of bel air" , at the age of 22-28, hahahahaha
I know Glenn will crucify me for this, but Will DEFINITELY looks shorter than 6'1" Isiah Thomas there. Those aren't any tricks. He looks to be 5'11" there. I DO remember reading an article on him in 1988-1989 where he stated his height at 5'11" and weight at 165 pounds. He looks to be that height next to 6'4" Bill Oreilly.
Lenad said on 16/Jan/09
A 5ft11 Will Smith would equal a 5ft10.5 Jim Carrey, a 5ft4.5 Tom Cruise, and a 5ft9 Tommy Lee Jones.
Mister Lennon said on 16/Jan/09
Lets see, Connery was a little bit taller than Carrey. Smith is about the same height than Carrey, but maybe a tiny little bit taller. So, Will cant be shorter than 6'1 and a half. The three guys are around the 6'1 and a half and 6'2 area, with little differences between them, being Carrey the shortest one.
Complex said on 16/Jan/09
I agree ray, they're all somewhere in those ranges.
Ray said on 16/Jan/09
That's interesting Lenad. If Will Smith is 6'-6'1" and you're saying Carrey is about the same height. This makes sense to me now cos there's a recent pic of Sean Connery and Carrey looking the same height and I couldn't figure it out. Sean can't be more than 6'-6'1" these days so that confirms my suspicions. Connery, Smith and Carrey all about the same height i.e 6'-6'1"
Lenad said on 16/Jan/09
If Will Smith is 5ft11 then how the hell is he the same height if not taller than Jim Carrey? Is Jim Carrey a 5'10 guy or something? No no no Will is at least 6'1 end of story.
Complex said on 16/Jan/09
Next to 6'4.5 Chi Mcbride Smith looks to be in the 6'1 range. Sometimes he appears lower like a legit 6'0 so i'm still unsure, Rob may have this one dead on. In that Romo pic, maybe i'm wrong but when I look it seems that will has like a high heeled boot on? I could be wrong, hard to tell but it appears that you can clearly see the floor under his boot, personally I think he could be anywhere from a legit 6'0 to 6'1 and change, the pic with Romo pretty much ends the 6'2 discussion for will, unless romo is taller than 6'2. Personally I have no clue how tall romo is, ch said 6'2 so i'm taking his word on it but either way Will is shorter via those nice sized heeled boots. He's prolly a flat 6'1 and slightly lower in the evening, he's tall non-the-less..
Anonymous said on 15/Jan/09
he is between 6'0 - 6'1 barefoot
Lenad said on 15/Jan/09
Tony and Will look almost the same. But 189cm does look a bit much for Will when you compare him to most people. Still I dont think hes less than 6'1. Hes pretty tall nevertheless.
TELLEM said on 14/Jan/09
hes in the 6'1 region...rob's estimate seems accurate.
the shredder said on 14/Jan/09
CH , I can say that pic proves that he is lucky to be 6'2 !
CH said on 14/Jan/09
I've always thought of Will Smith as a tall guy. He seems it in his movies, but the more I see pictures, the more I wonder his 6'2" claim.
Here is a picture of Will Smith, with 6'2" Tony Romo, QB of Dallas Cowboys.
(
Click Here)
Romo appears taller than smith, yet is also slouching over. Notice, also, that Will Smith is wearing some kind of shoes/boots that seem to have a pretty nice heel (lifts?), and Romo is in just sneakers, that don't seem to add much lift at all.
When I see pictures like this, as well as other, next to taller guys, Smith always strikes me as short than 6'2". I've also seen quite a few pictures that have me suspicious that he wears lifts quite often. I will not throw out a 6'2" height for Will Smith, but I'm starting to think that 6'1" may be a but more realistic.
Lenad said on 13/Jan/09
I think Mr R saw him at 6'2 minimum barefoot but that lifts were possible. Now 6'2 minimum for Will Smith does look a bit much. More like 6'1 minimun. Beats me why a guy that tall would bother wearing lifts.
RisingForce said on 13/Jan/09
James, Will is slouching A LOT with Lennox Lewis, Bill O'Rielly and Denzel Washington. Will has a horrendous posture and yet with that posture he usually looks atleast 6-1ish.
the squirell said on 13/Jan/09
Ahh, but he says he is 6'2 1/2 and was measured at that height. In fact i think i've read it somewhere.
Lenad said on 12/Jan/09
Yeah not below the 6'1 mark barefoot and not below the 6'2 mark in shoes.
RisingForce said on 12/Jan/09
Don't forget that Mr. R has also said Will seemed atleast 6'2" to him.
To me it seems that he's 6'2" or 6'2.5" and his really bad posture makes him look shorter sometimes.
Dural said on 12/Jan/09
He said several times in the past I'm 6'2", glenn asked him and he says 6'2.5". He always looks tall, but I agree with Lenad, the 6'2.5" is probably his height in shoes.
Complex said on 12/Jan/09
I agree James, most everyone I know that has met celebs say the classic "they are way shorter in person". That's cuz a celeb is made to look taller in movies and at premieres, they have to look like a celeb so everything is upgraded, white teeth, perfect hair, tall (or taller than they are), skinny, appearance is the main thing for celebs which is why alot are shorter than most think.
the squirell said on 12/Jan/09
He has said it himself, which means he was measured at 6'2 1/2 or 189 cm.
glenn said on 12/Jan/09
people exaggerated and or just cant tell height.
Complex said on 12/Jan/09
He does look tall in hancock and that he is but next to batemen he looks no more than 6'0.5 or 6'1. I think he spends most of the day at 6'1 or a tad over..
Lenad said on 11/Jan/09
Looked 6-7cm shorter than Jeff Goldblum in Indepndence day.
Lenad said on 11/Jan/09
Complex, more than likely Will Smith's 6ft2.5 claim is in shoes.
Hugh said on 10/Jan/09
Yeah he looks like a proper 6ft2 despite his light build. Well he looked big in Ali, I Robot, Bad Boys and say I am Legend. Looked muscular. I'd say heis normal weight is around 190lbs.
glenn said on 10/Jan/09
squirrel-i met will since the fresh prince days.i pegged him at 6-3.i recently obtained another photo with him and asked "6-2 or 6-3".he said "6-2.5".one day that photo will be here.but it isnt great for height.he is slouching.but i guess you could tell he is big.
glenn said on 10/Jan/09
squirrel is right.americans or just people in general downgrade celebities for their own amusement.be it that they are taller than the celeb and they feel powerful,or they want the celeb to be a short as they are to feel special.then there are those that want the power of sounding like they know it all.whats amazing is,most of these people never met any of these celebs.im here to quash myths.not to fight and argue.or i hope not to.celebs are taller than you think,not shorter.thats tabloid talk.in a sense,stallone is shorter than you think.he isnt a 6ft or more action hero you were expecting.he is average.at 5-10.but cause he is 5-10ish,he gets pegged lower by exaggeration.like the big shark or fish that passed the boat,"oh,he was that big",its usually an exaggeration.in reverse.not big,but oh,he was so small.
the squirell said on 10/Jan/09
Anonymous was me, the squirell. He has probably been measured at 6'2 1/2 and he looks it. He looks 6'2 or more in hancock.
Lenad said on 10/Jan/09
I'd go for at least 186cm barefoot. Will Smith doesnt look below the 6ft1 mark. Hes obviously a tall guy. He doesnt need to wear lifts.
glenn said on 9/Jan/09
yes,they do james.but he isnt.
Nick said on 9/Jan/09
Will is 6foot half inch. Just look at Theodores post. He was shorter than Isiah Thomas who was measured at 6'1" by the NBA. That video just debunks all these outlandish claims that Will Smith is 6'2-6'3

6'1.5 i'd say is his max, he's prolly 6'1 most of the day and under late evening. Honestly guys there was barely a difference in him and batemen, less than 2 inches. 6'2.5 is way too high for Smith!
Lenad said on 6/Jan/09
He doesnt really look a strong 6'2 or more but yes a solid 6'1 if not a bit more. I buy 186cm at the lowest so 187 looks bang on for me.
RisingForce said on 5/Jan/09
I always got the impression even back in the 90's that Will was a tall guy(about 6-2) that slouched. Maybe I thought he was around 6-2 because he always claimed it back then but I never once saw him and thought he seemed shorter than he claimed.
On The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air he had horrendous posture. I don't doubt 6-2.5, Glenn seems convinced of that height for Will and he can look it. The 5-11 and 6-0 stuff for Will is crazy though. Maybe he was listed at that once but he sure as hell is taller.
Anonymous said on 5/Jan/09

For a guy thats 6'2+ , he sure looks 6'1 ! ... I think he is what he claims though !!!
Hugh said on 4/Jan/09
But, James I don't agree that Will Smith is a broad guy though. He's got a very light build that can give the illusion of say 6ft1 or even shorter.
Hugh said on 4/Jan/09
Rob, this guy deserves a full 6ft2. He's slightly taller than Jim Carrey.
Complex said on 4/Jan/09
Don the mugshot in hancock was in shoes, likely boots and also questionably accurate since it was cut off at the bottom. He was a tad shorter than Charlize Theron when she was in heels, granted her heels were huge and she's tall to begin with, but I think in the evening Will is 6'0 or 6'0.25 and maybe closer to 6'1 morning height. He's a strong 3 to 4 inches shorter than 6'5 Chi Mcbride so we can definately rule out 6'2.5 and 6'3, if he's nearly 6'3 then Mcbride is 6'7, just doesn't add up.
Oh and he was really no more than 2 inches (at very very best 2inches)taller than Bateman, I think 6'1.5 is absolute max and he's prolly closer to 6'0.25 or 6'0.5 in the evening, he's still tall, no way around it!
Lenad said on 3/Jan/09
I can see 6'1 1/4 at the lowest so It wouldnt shock me if he was 6'2.
Lenad said on 2/Jan/09
When he stands next to Jim Carrey Will looks easily 6ft1.5 if not more.

A legit 5'9 man should not feel short in the States since is it average height. However, in some European countries it's a different story because the average height is a couple inches taller then in the States.

Clay: If you live in Holland, Denmark or Montenegro I could understand you. If you live in the states it's like Rising said it: 5'9.25 is dead on average. Thats reality. Ok maybe nowadays there are lots of 5'10 + guys in the very young population but even 5'10-5'11" guys are not towering you. In some timbs now during winter you are that height in shoes.
RisingForce said on 29/Dec/08
Clay reality is that 5-9.25 is dead on average for an American man. Where do you live?
leonari said on 28/Dec/08
Clay: Thats cause you have issues my friend. Where do you live? In a basement kidnapped by the two giant guys who entered your store recently? Sure next to 6'8" guys you will feel short. In every day life: It's in your brain! I mean this well: go seek some help man. It will do you good.

Clay, I can believe at your height 5'9-5'9 1/2 that you can feel short 75% of the time. It really depends where you go too. Sometimes I'll feel taller than other times, all depending on where I am at. Normally I will feel taller 80% of the time.

James, thats a pretty good chart that I could agree with. To many though 5'5.5-5'8 is pretty short also. Hell I've made no bones about it - I feel short most of the time and im a little over 5'9''legit. The two guys who came into my store were borderline gigantic they were just huge. Like I said 6'8 at least, maybe 6'9'' with huge heads, hands, everything. Now I can only imagine what its like to see some of the giants of wrestling.

Coming from a guy named ''annonymous''. Ouch!
leonari said on 26/Dec/08
Clay: You are a joke. Stating 5'5.5 to 5'8" as one "height class" is ridiculous to say the least. As soon as you drop below 5'7" every half inch makes a major difference. And you feel short at a legit 5'9"??? Man you have issues that only a shrink can sort out (and you need a good one at that). Some folks here can't be real.

Actually, not all boxer heights are 100% accurate. Weight is what they tend to focus on most as it's more important. I remember Mike Tyson got listed at different heights sometimes.
Jon said on 23/Dec/08
Once Evander Holy field made a guest appearance on the Fresh Prince of Bel air show, Will Smith and Evander were staring eye to eye, Evander is listed at 6'2" and Boxers get their height measured by certified doctors for their physicals so Will Smith is a Solid 6'2"!
Alex said on 22/Dec/08
Clay, I haven't seen a 6'8 guy in sometime now, but I will see at least 1-2 guys a week who are like 6'6 though. It really depends where I go. 6'4-6'5 are common tall heights to see. You may see 1-2 guys that height everyday but over 6'6 is more rare.
Sid said on 22/Dec/08

You're seeing the light James. I actually saw two 6'8-6'9 guys come into my store today within the same hour or two.
George said on 21/Dec/08
I was just watching an episode of Fresh Prince where Evander Holyfield was guest starting. Him & Will Smith squared up to each over and were staring eachover right in the eye. They were both standing really upright with their heads held high as they were going to fight. They were 100% the same height. Evander is listed as 6'1 to here, so Smith should be downgraded.

6'2 is tall, no doubt about it
Now some on this site argue that 5'11 is tall, now that is funny, laughable, but nothing funny about 6'2, it's tall, maybe not gigantic but officially tall non-the-less.
Smith is tall but he's 6'1 or he may be 6'0 in the late evening, he's not a legit 6'2 though and never 6'3. If he's 6'3 then Chi McBride must be 6'7-6'8. I'd give him 6'1 although actual evening height is likely 6'0 or a little over...
I think alot of "what's tall or not" depends on ppl's heights themselves, for instance alot of 5'7 guys think 5'11 is tall, where alot of 5'10 guys think 6'2 is tall, but if we go by facts and averages, 6'2 and above is unquestionably tall, 6'1 is tall too and I would go as far to say that legit 6'0 (by legit I mean even in the lastest evening they don't drop under 6'0) would be considered the beginnning of tall. 5'11 taller end of average, 5'9-5'10 dead on average, 5'8 lower end of average, 5'7 kinda short, 5'6 below, short...
That's how I see it...

I'm a little under 5'8" when I get 8-10 hours of sleep. Then I can measure 5'7 3/4/5'7 7/8".
But when I work I usually only get 3-4 hours of sleep max so by the middle of the day I'm probably pretty much 5'7".
Plus my posture isn't that good so 6 foot to me seems really tall at times.
Jim said on 20/Dec/08
That's very true James.
Clay said on 19/Dec/08
Again, I have measured two of my taller friends and they're 6'2.5, 6'3.5 respectively and just looking at them is nothing special.

6'2" seems really tall to me. Hell I was carrying a 6 foot ladder today at work and noticed how tall 6 foot really is, at least from my point of view.
How tall are you?
Clay said on 18/Dec/08
Well James 6'3'' is nothing special either, just well above average. I have a 6'3.5 buddy who is a tall bugger but no one makes the effort to talk about his height, except a few short girls who will say ''you're so tall'' or something. To full grown guys in their 20's 6'2,6'3, and even 6'4 really is no biggie.

he looks 8,9cm shorter than 6ft4.5 Jeff Goldblum in INDEPENDANCE DAY. No way his 187 to 189. Def solid 185guy.
Alex said on 18/Dec/08
6'2 is tall but nothing impressive. Only to grammar school kids will 6'2 be like wow.
Alex said on 17/Dec/08
James, once my 6'5 friend called me shorty, LOL. I guess I can see guys 6'5 saying someone under 6'0 is shortish but when someone 6'0-6'1 says 5'10-5'11 is short then its absurd. I am 6'0 and I view under 5'9 to be the start of short but more 5'7 and under to be true short.
Clay said on 17/Dec/08
James I agree that at 6'2'' no one can question that you're tall, but no one makes a big deal out of it. At least not from what I've seen.
Danimal said on 17/Dec/08
Clay says on 16/Dec/08
Nobody makes a big deal about a 6'2'' guy...are you serious? Maybe some 5 foot girl who is trying to get laid will say ''Like OMG you're so tall!!''
You're a teenager, aren't you?
Alex said on 17/Dec/08
6'2 is def a tall height and most will consider you tall even very tall guys. At 5'11-6'1 guys who are very tall like 6'4-6'5 plus may not view you as tall but if you're 6'2 they will.
Clay said on 17/Dec/08
6'4'' is 'rare' in the sense that its well above the worldwide average but that doesnt change the fact that 1 in 20-25 men are 6'4'' or higher and you will see plenty of them if you get out and about. 6'7'' plus, now thats a rare sight.

If Will Smith is 5ft11 then that makes Avery 6ft2. 165 pounds is skinny for a guy of WIll Smiths height.
Clay if you ask me heights like 5ft11-6ft1 are just casual tall anything going over that in my opinion is getting to stand out more. I actually think 6ft2 is where people start to point out and make a big deal about your height.
Will WAS skinny in the 1980's. VERY SKINNY and at times James Avery looked to have like 5" on Will, not only a mere 3". James was BALD and Will had an afro.
the shredder said on 16/Dec/08
Yes James Avery at peak is mimimum 6'5 ... he looks 6'6 next to Kareem Abdul - Jabbar , lol 5'11 listing for Will , thats funny
Danimal said on 15/Dec/08
James Avery was taller than minimum 6'4" Chevy Chase in Fletch (1984). Avery was at least 6'5". In 1989, Will Smith was listed at 5'11" and 165 pounds in some teen magazine my sister had. I remember that for a FACT.
Clemens said on 15/Dec/08
Re Viper: Very rare? In Sweden, it's taller then 93-94 percent of the population but that's just one man in twenty. And tall people tend to easily spotted so...I donno. I see them every day in the subway.
Clay said on 15/Dec/08
Hang out at any mall or big grocery store for 2 or 3 hours and you will see at least 20 differnt 6'4-6'5 men. See it all the time at work.
Lenad said on 15/Dec/08
Actually Viper is right. 6'4 is taller than an exttemly high percent of the population.
RisingForce said on 15/Dec/08
Clooney is 5'10.5" at worst and likely taller. Denzel isn't under 6'0" either.
TELLEM said on 15/Dec/08
viper's right, 6'4 is rare...ppl should get outta their computers more
Viper said on 15/Dec/08
6-4 is very rare. Taller than 97 percent of the population. I just go by statistics really.
Clay said on 15/Dec/08
James, you have to understand that Viper thinks seeing a 6'4'' man is some kind of rare phenomenon.
Viper said on 14/Dec/08
Well, Keanu Reeves clearly has 2 inches over Denzel in those group photos. And hes around 6-0 himself. Denzel is probably under 6-0 and wears lifts. Clooney is either 5-9 or 5-10 max.
Mr. R said on 13/Dec/08
You all have to keep in mind that James Avery is older and heavier so he has probably lost height. You can't look at The Prince of BelAir to get where they are now.
anonymous said on 13/Dec/08
Viper, in all your pictures of will with the measured athletes, he is always slouching.
Viper said on 12/Dec/08
6-1 tops might be too tall for Will at this point.
the shredder said on 12/Dec/08
James Avery is 6'5 minimum to me , look at the video I posted with him next to MEASURED Kareem Abdul - Jabbar , he looks 6'6 , and I think Will Smith is close to 6'2 , which is funny because I use to think 6'0.75 !
Lenad said on 12/Dec/08
Next to Ellen DeGenres I can see 6ft1.25 at the least.
Lenad said on 11/Dec/08
6'1 tops sounds too short for Will. However I just watched The Fresh Prince again and I saw at least 2.5 inches between Avery and Will Smith so I will admit he didnt look more than a flat 6'1 there.
Clay said on 11/Dec/08
Yeah there was a 3 inch gap but its looking like uncle Phil was really 6'5''.
Viper said on 11/Dec/08
Hes 6-0 tops. He looks it next to measured athletes. Heres another shot of him with Lennox Lewis.
Click Here Looks 5-11-6-0. Look at the huge difference between shoulders as well.
Jim said on 11/Dec/08
It would be nice to see Willard stand beside Barack Obama. My guess is they'd be the same height. I don't know if it's just me but he seems shorter nowdays. Mabey it's just because I got used to him looking tall on The Fresh Prince where he usually wore boots and had big hair early on. At age 40, it's very possible he already lost some height. He also put on a few pounds and his posture isn't the best these days. But he's still tall, even if he's only 6'1.5 and he's got a great personality.
Alex said on 11/Dec/08
If James Avery is 6'4 then Will isn't more than 6'1.
the shredder said on 11/Dec/08
WOW Will looks 6'3 with Ted Danson !
Clay said on 10/Dec/08
Viper has me scratching my head with these Smith photos, doesnt change my opinion that the guy is at least 6'1.5 stretched out.
TELLEM said on 10/Dec/08

He looked like 2 inches taller than Jay Leno on the Tonight Show this week. I was suprised.
Alex said on 10/Dec/08
Vince Vaughn is def 6'5ish give or take 1/4.
anonymous said on 10/Dec/08
6 foot 2. Rosario dawson did look tall in seven pounds. Camera effects.
the shredder said on 10/Dec/08
The shortest I can see between Will and Avery is 2 1/2 inches ! ... I think around 3 inches , actually here is a video of James next to 7'1 Kareem Abdul -Jabbar , and he looks a good 6'5 next to him ... go to 00:22 on the video , he actually looks MINIMUM 6'5 !

Lenad said on 9/Dec/08
I was just watching the fresh prince and I saw at most 3 inches between James Avery and Will Smith. Maybe I should watch again but I can buy 6'1 1/4 at the lowest for Will. Besides, why would a guy who definitly is tall wear lifts? What an Idiot!
Martin said on 9/Dec/08
He looks tall 'cause he has one of the worlds smallest heads. Talk about pin head... He probably is 6'1 though.
Viper said on 9/Dec/08
Ive never seen Vince Vaughn look 6-3.
glenn said on 9/Dec/08
well said james.
Donatello said on 9/Dec/08
I'd say will could easily be in the 6'2" range but nothing over that. Alfo is probably about 5'6" 1/2 and Avery at 6'5".
miko said on 9/Dec/08
A 6"3 Smith would equal a 6"6 Avery which is impossible.
A 6"1 Smith and a 6"4 Avery seems closer to the truth.
the shredder said on 9/Dec/08
I just got the unrated Hancock , and it shows him better near the height chart , and theres a quick part where he has loose posture and still looks over 6'1 , can't tell if he has shoes on are not , but I think he could be what he claims !
Lenad said on 8/Dec/08
why does he look the same height if not a tiny bit taller than Jim Carrey? Maybe Will is a solid 186cm if not a bit more as I firmly believe Jim Carrey is a strong 185cm if not a bit more. Carrey at strong 186cm and Will at strong 187cm is quite accurate. Both are in the 6ft1 range and are tall regardless.
Viper said on 8/Dec/08
Its amazing how Will Smith looks as short as 5-11 in many pictures.
