Could Will be 6’5” at his peak ?
He looked much taller than 6’3” Michael Bentt in Ali.
thi said on 29/Mar/19
Rob, how can Jaden Smith can be only 170 with his father being almost 187? 17cm difference is too big and usually the new generations are taller.
Editor Rob
His Mother is 5ft. Genes from both parents could mean he ended up pretty much as expected.

Strong 6 footer maybe just scraping 6'1 out of bed

Maybe Will already had lost that half inch the past ten years ago. 6'1 flat now with 189cm Idris Elba.
'Annonymous' said on 14/Mar/19
Hello Rob! I still would like to believe that 6'1.5" is good for Will, seeing him next to Jay Leno in 1997:
Click Here
And here are another 3 photos of Willa alongside Jon Voight from 2005:
Click Here Click Here Click Here
However, I'm not sure if the downgrade for Idris Elba was good, because that would make Will 6'1.25" maximum. Will and Idris met in 2015:
Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
From everything I've seen, I believe that Will is a good guy with a range of 186-7 cm but I can't see between him and Idris just one inch difference. Rob, do you think Idris could be at least 6'2" and 5/8 inch?
Editor Rob
Will has held onto his 6ft 1.5 for a fairly long while, but I can still see how a proportion of people have him at 6ft 1-1.25, because at times he's looked that. His posture though is a bit up and down.
Canson said on 11/Mar/19
Goldblum doesn’t have Smith by 4” in that movie. But looking at Goldblum in the movie, a solid 6’4” is a possible outcome at that stage and Smith a flat 6’1” or a hair over is very realistic. That’s 3” max
Canson said on 11/Mar/19

Rob, any chance of will being 6'1.75"
Btw i think legit 187 peak, more like strong 186 now
Editor Rob
I think it's pushing it, 6ft 1.5 is a figure he's been on a long time, and I can see how people believe anywhere from 6ft 1 up to 2.

@Robby Harris: I think a peak Bill Clinton May edge him by a bit based on how Clinton fared in his prime next to Trump. Trump edged Will on FPOBA
Mister lennon said on 23/Dec/18
My guess is 6'1.5 at peak.
187-188.
Now, a little bit less. Like 186-187
Robby Harris said on 22/Dec/18
Smith was about the same height as peak Bill Clinton, who was arguably 6'2" back in 1993:
Click Here I'm certainly not insinuating Smith is 6'2", but there's virtually no difference between the two, and if there is, it's probably 1/8" of an inch, or in other words nothing really worth mentioning. I'll stick with 6'1.5" for Smith as that's what he generally looks next to other people. I will admit, he did look noticeably shorter than Trump on "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air", but didn't look as low as 6'1" flat with Samuel L Jackson in 2008:
Click Here But I won't deny he can look 6'1" range quite often.

Rob, I remember when you said that Will in the 90s may look at least 186 cm, I personally do not see him under this and I would not go with both flat 6'1" and full 6'2" for him. I'm not sure if I've seen enough to say of 6'1.75" because he looks 186-7 cm for me. Rob, I have one important question... Do you think that being 50 years old, Will could have loss anything from his height today?
Editor Rob
I think it's harder to argue 6ft 2 than 6ft 1 for Will, though I still think he probably measures over 6ft 1...it is a question of whether it is 1/4 or 1/2 to me.
Mister lennon said on 19/Sep/18
Will was and is a solid 6'1 guy.

@Canson Isiah Thomas look below 6'0 with 6'10.25" Chris Bosh. That clip from Fresh Prince belair Will Smith distant from camera more when they walk back to back. Isiah max 5'11.75" and Smith i believe he could be 6'1 1/4 max maybe that clip Smith had fraction less footwear. But now Smith look alot like 6'1.

Canson said on 5/Jun/18
People don’t realize that Isiah Thomas wasn’t 6’1” barefoot. An undersized point guard is not going to be listed barefoot. That’s a shoe height for him. Joe Dumars was 6’1” range barefoot and was taller than Zeke and 6’6 and change Dennis Rodman had Zeke by close to 7”. Zeke was 5’11.5 barefoot max

It wouldn't be impossible for Will to clear 6ft 2 out of bed...I think Will and John may well measure very close in height.
Celebheights 6'1.5 said on 6/Apr/18
@Brett That photo of Will that you linked is fairly laughable actually. Will Smith is walking in that photo, so he’s obviously not standing at his fullest. Will Smith does look shorter than Morgan Freeman, but it’s not by much (and Freeman was likely a solid 6’2” at that point), and he looks 3-4 CM taller than Tom Hanks who is about as solid of a six footer as you’ll find.
viper said on 5/Apr/18
I think I remember Will looking shorter than 6-1 Bernard Berrian
Brett said on 4/Apr/18
Viper, yep can you believe how time flies :)
@Celebheights ... those pics basically confirm what I said... hes barely taller than Tom Hanks, arguably the same could be said re Rafa... He looks shorter than Fed... ( I've met fed and he slouches badly - but is a legit 6'1"... I actually spoke with him and Jim Courier at the Como in Melbourne, for the Aussie Open - Courier is slightly shorter, maybe 6'0.5" but wears heavy footwear so hard to tell) ... hes miles shorter than Morgan Freeman there... and Freeman is old now...
This image pretty much highlights irrefutably that Smith is shorter... there is nowhere to hide here :)

Canson said on 19/Mar/18
@The Shredder and Danimal: I think a solid 6’1” fits him at his peak (afternoon height) but have a hard time seeing him too much higher or lower than that at his peak. Maybe today at 50 he’s shorter though but that’s probably similar height with Ray Lewis or Donald Trump as a 6’0.5 guy. Not sure who’s taller between smith and Barack Obama today
Celebheights 6'1.5 said on 14/Mar/18
I think that I remember that Will Smith had just a slight footwear disadvantage on Evander Holyfield, but they are still pretty close in height. I would say that Will Smith was about 1/4" of an inch taller than him. I think that 6'1" flat is a bit too low for Will Smith, just as 6'2" is a bit too high. Some interesting photos:

@Celebheights 6’1.5: agreed the pics aren’t great. I have no doubt that Will is taller than Zeek. Will while maybe not 6’1.5 was prob a legit 6’1” (based on how he appears with people like Martin Lawrence). Looked similar in height with Evander Holyfield as well who is 6’1
Celebheights 6'1.5 said on 12/Mar/18
Why are people still using the photos of Will Smith by Isaiah Thomas as legit evidence for Will supposedly being 6 feet tall (or under)? I think that Rob even mentioned that they were distorted before, along with there being many other issues with them. Will Smith was a legit 6’1 1/2” in person a few years ago, and he also doesn’t look more than 1-1.5 CM shorter than Morgan Freeman.
Canson said on 10/Mar/18
@Brett and Viper: remember that Will also called James Avery 6’3 once in Fresh Prince. I don’t think he was that short but 6’4.5 peak prob and maybe under 6’4 when he passed
Danimal said on 10/Mar/18
How can people even consider him being 6'1.5"? Here he is with 6'2 3/4" Idris Elba (listed by Rob himself on this site). That is NOT a mere 1 1/4" height difference. Will looks MAX 6'0" (and Idris is also leaning in):

Rob, I saw Will Smith with Jai Courtney and Joel Kinnaman ... Smith was the shortest ... Jai is 185cm is similar to me ... Was shocked to see that Will Smith was nowhere near his 6’2” claim ... and Kinnaman was probably 188-189cm as he claims ... Smith isn’t even 6’1” maybe 184cm.
I’m a 186cm and I can tell you with 100% certainty, Smith was closer to 6ft than anything else... I’m the same guy who saw Pierce Brosnan in The Mark in NYC and claimed he was 6’2”... back when Celebheight was in its infancy 😉 ... sure as hell closer to 6’2 than Will Smith is
Editor Rob
Will's shrinking with age 😉 he'll be under 6ft by the time I get around to changing it!
Paleman said on 1/Mar/18
After looking at some photos with Idris Elba, I'm not convinced Will is this tall either. He could be, but I still think he looks a tad shorter. 6'1" seems definitely too low but 186 centimeters flat could be on the money.
The Shredder said on 2/Feb/18

Wouldn’t be surprised if he was 6’1.75”. With Jay-Z he must be at least 187 cm and with Martin Lawrence he looked almost 7 inches taller. 6’2” would be a safe estimate for his height but 6’1.75” is just perfect for him. I don’t think he is as tall as Hugh Jackman or Ryan Reynolds to make a full 6’2” claim.

Real Cavill said on 16/Dec/17
Looks 6'1" flat is my guess, but could be a half inch under. See Fresh Prince episode with Chris Rock. Will is wearing new Timberlands with big heels giving him a huge height advantage over Chris who is wearing normal shoes and Will only looked about 3.5-4 inches taller. Rock is about 5'9.5". I also thought Big Willy looked about 6'0.25" or 6'0.5" next to Big Jeff Goldblum at the end of Independence Day where they are wearing the same outfit and walking side by side.
@Slim185.....I'd also like to know what job people lose so much height. Science says people lose about 1" by their 70s and 2" by their 80s. It's not as much as people think as those statistics include people who get osteoporosis, weakening muscles making one lose posture, fallen foot arches (so you'd be normal with orthotics). So if you eat right, exercise, lift properly and wear orthotics, you will probably not lose any height. Maybe half inch due to joint compression by age 80.
@Grizz. Very tall guys lose height faster than short guys even with the best genetics? Tell me who told you this so I take away their fake medical degree. What are you talking about dude.
Canson said on 9/Dec/17
@Slim185: I’m 36 now that’s not real young to lose as people typically can begin to lose a mm in their 30s especially if they have back issues. Mine aren’t severe but it involves a disc. It may have also been a less than accurate measurement. We are only talking a few mm difference. I measured myself when I first started on here around 194.1-.2 when I had thicker hair and that was not evening it was late afternoon so would equate to 193.9 probably. Now it’s 193.7-193.9. As far as my profession, I am director of Facilities Within a corporation
Adijos said on 7/Dec/17
My opinion on Will Smith's growth:
Youth: 🌄-6'2.5"(189,2 cm), 🌃-6'1.75" (187,3 cm)
Currently: 🌄-6'2"(188 cm), 🌃-6'1.25" (186,1 cm)
grizz said on 2/Dec/17
@Slim 185, it doesn't need to be involved with type of occupation necessarily. My uncle lost at least 1-2 cms and he's in his early 40s (he was 192 in college,now 190). Very tall guys (>6'3) lose more height and earlier than short guys. Of course short guys can lose a lot,too, but that's more due to horrible genetics, all-life physically demanding occupation like construction worker and horrible posture. Very tall guys, even with best possible genetics, perfect nutrition, posture and decent job will still lose more than a short guy with equal living conditions.
Slim 185 said on 26/Nov/17
Canson, omg, if you don’t mind me asking, you don’t have to answer this btw, what occupation do you do to lose height at such a young age?
Canson said on 19/Nov/17
@Slim185: some begin to lose it in their mid 30s. I’m not sure if it’s the case for me but i once measured (at least thought) i was closer to 6’4.5 at my lowest when i started on this site. I’m actually 6’4 1/4-3/8. That could have been a bad measurement before or maybe i did lose a mm or two.
Slim 185 said on 17/Nov/17
He hasn’t lost any noticeable height yet, but by next year I’d definitely give a quarter inch loss.
Junior said on 14/Nov/17
I think Will Smith is not over 186cm today. He may have lost 1/4.

James Avery posture and weight could make him seem 6'3 in the fresh Prince hence why Will guessed him at that range.

Hackman did look a bit shorter, but by age 67 I think it was quite possible he had lost height.

@Rising: after doing some research Will is definitely taller than Isiah Thomas. I saw a post on fb with a guy who is friends with Joe Dumars who is 6'1" and they are the same height (he acknowledged they are both 6'1"). Thomas isn't more than 5'11" barefoot. This again can be attributed to camera angle.

Hi guys and Rob!
My opinion about smith (attention could be his real height ha haha :)
Out of bed he is measured like 187'5cm barely
In the morning around 11 AM after breakfast Will is measured like 187
During the day he is 186cm
Last hours when he is going to the bed to sleep and if he is very tired and worked hard 185'5cm.
But Will Smith never was less than 185'5cm. He is a strong 186/187cm all the times.
Smith is 1 cm taller than Obama and Trump and almost 4 cm taller than T.Lee Jones
Rising - 174 cm said on 18/Aug/17
The pictures with Isiah don't tell us much, but the video of them when Isiah made a cameo on Fresh Prince is interesting:
Click Here
You see them walking away together around 34 or 35 seconds and that's the best comparison you get of the two. All I'll say is I doubt he's lost anything noticeable as well. His bad posture may not help him as he ages, but you look back at videos like that and Will didn't look taller than he does today.
Junior said on 16/Aug/17

A question is did Will Smith have loss some height? Because i think he look taller from the start i know who is him from late 1990s to late 2000s movies and show appearance. Somewhere 2011 onwards by watching his movie i felt he look 1-2cm shorter than his peak. I bet he is 187cm peak and really have dip in 185.5cm just 6'1 now
----
I doubt it. He has always been just a 6'1" guy. Looked it in TFPOBA.

Taller than the average American I'd say 6'1.25
Celebheights 6'1.5 said on 7/Aug/17
Out of bed: 6'2 1/2"
Before bed 6'1 1/2"
He was definitely my height in person 2-3 years ago. I may just barely edge him by 2 MM out of bed, however.
Peter175 said on 31/Jul/17
Rob, any ideas on his daughter Willow? I thought to do an estimate for her but I can't seem to find many pictures of her with known celebs.
But her and Jaden can look very close. Maybe about 166 is the lowest she can look and can look up to 5'6.25. So my estimate is somewhere between 5'5.5-5'6.25

Franck I really can't tell with your pics with Thomas because we can't see how they are standing the pics are terrible for comparing. True Will may dip under that mark but two unknowns we don't know Thomas's barefoot height either I doubt he's a true 6'1 barefoot that's his NBA listing which is why I don't believe he's taller than Smith
Franck 189,1 - 187 cm said on 11/Jul/17
@Canson : if Isiah Thomas is 6'0" barefoot, waht about this picture with will ?

Will is anywhere between 184,5cm and 185,5cm barefoot at night in my opinion......
Canson said on 10/Jul/17
@Franck: Isiah isn't taller. I think Smith is honestly the only angle we see is when they walk off the court which is not a good angle but when they are playing Smith looks taller

Canson said on 10/Jul/17
@Hijopotmaus: I agree on Thomas being 6'0" barefoot but now that I look for images with he and Smith can't find but I did see the episode when they played. I don't think smith is shorter than he is after seeing again. It's hard to tell a diff because they aren't standing straight but possible Will is taller than him but I wouldn't have thought that befoee

Franck, Isiah Thomas was 6' when he was playing for Pistons. So...

6'1.5" tall
Franck 189,1 - 187 cm said on 7/Jul/17
Will is a bit lower than the former NBA player detroit Pistons Isiah Thomas, the average guess is 186,4 cm, is real height is probably around 185,5... 185,5cm to 186cm max range for Will

Rob How come Jaden is only about 5"7 his dad is a strong 6"1 maybe 6"2. I thought boys take after their father's for their height. I 'am only 5"9 and I 'am 20 now so I'm done growing but my dad is 190cm a weak 6"3 and my brother is 6"2 how come I 'am not tall I obviously didn't get the tall genes passed onto me!
Editor Rob
we get genes from both parents, there is a mix, sometimes you could end up with more genes that tend towards short than tall, especially since he has a 5ft Mother.
Dan said on 11/Jun/17
6'1" maximum. He was a solid four inches shorter than the 6'5" James Avery, no question about it
S.J.H said on 8/Jun/17
I would like to see Samuel L Jackson standing side by side next to Smith. Strongly feels at most a fraction between them. 185.5cm for smith

Hi rob, is Will smith closer to 6"1 or 6"2?
Canson said on 3/Jun/17
His height is tricky. He looks much shorter than James Avery and David Morse who are 6'4.5-6'5 and 6'4". I'd say he can look 6'1 but not over
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 28/May/17
If he measured 187-188cm out of bed, he'd be a flat 6ft1 which I think he can look over.
Lenad the 5ft9.75in stud said on 27/May/17
Probably wakes at 187/188cm range. He loos tall in photos and videos, but not like a strong 6'2, more like in the 6'1 range and close to 6'2. I'd say measured by a doctor, he's probably a weak 187cm.
shiva 181 cms said on 26/May/17
@ berta I don't think he claimed a morning measurement coz if he's a little over 6'2 morning that would make him a weak 6'2 , indeed he looks a strong 6'1 but not a weak 6'2 there's a high chance he measured a little over 6'2 in shoes meaning he'd be 6'1.25 without them
phil said on 25/May/17
nah he aint 6'2
berta said on 20/May/17
the shortest possible i can see him is 186 and tallest possible is decent 187 guy. i think listing is perfect. maybe measured a little over 6 foot 2 right out of bed. i mean som epoeple just go with morning height , they are not lying its just not the right number to go with.

Rob I thought in the majority of the Fresh Prince Will Smith looked a classic 6'2 188cm guy.

"with Smith, his problem is he rarely stands tall...but go back to the 90's, when he stood tall he was at least 186cm range."
@Rob
Maybe add a 187cm peak for him, he's almost 50 years old and there are quite a few younger celebs on this site who got a 'current/peak' height. I still don't see him as a convincing 187 cm. The current average user guess is probably spot on for him at 186cm.

Dejavu said on 1/Jan/17
I agree that Will's loose posture often cause him to appear shorter. Kinnaman can appear up to an inch taller most of the time but there are pictures where they appear the same height. I think Will Smith can look 6'2 but not as often as Joel Kinnmana who I think is a strong 6'2.
Lenad 5ft9.75in said on 1/Jan/17
I believe him to be a weak 187cm guy
Dejavu said on 1/Jan/17
I don't think he is 6'1 or under. Next to Edward Norton, who looks 6'0, Will can appear 2 inches taller. He falls into the 6'1-6'2 range. Rob has him right with his listing.
Thereel said on 30/Dec/16
the reason for that Dejavu is because will smith is a solid 6'2" I know saying that will tar peoples opinion on here of me as a serious poster and or estimator on height but i do not care, because the truth is what matters, in my defense i will say Wills shenanigans in the photos with his posing makes him look shorter he just isn't someone who stands up straight for the photo 6'2.25" my estimate.
Jz said on 28/Dec/16
I do believe he's 188cm maybe when he's standng with his best posture but with normal posture 186cm. I'm 180cm at my tallest but I slouch so 178cm.
Thank you good to see another REAL estimator on height here, he's six-two but looks six-one usually with his posture REAL estimators of height could see this

In my opinion, and according to the poll, he is 1.86 maximum. He should be downgraded I think.
Sandy Cowell said on 14/Dec/16
I've just watched Will on the Ellen DeGeneres show and as he was sitting down, and I missed him strolling on, I didn't think I'd be any the wiser about his height than before.
He was talking about his new film which has a star-studded cast, if ever there was one! Then a photo of the film's actors was shown to us and yes, he was the tallest, so I will go for 6ft2 for him. I knew he was tall, but I have only seen his films fleetingly and don't own any.
I did enjoy his conversation with Ellen about a tresspassing lion! The animal was photographed and Will said "that's just feet away from my bedroom!" Everybody laughed!
Then he added that in order to ward the wild beasties away from his land, he was recommended using lion urine, and sprinkling it round his boundaries to make the lions think that there are other lions living there!
What was really funny was, when mentioning the extortionately high price of $39.99 per bottle, he explained that he can understand why it's so pricey! "Someone has to get it first! I wonder how they do that!"
Then he made the noises a cat owner makes to attract his cat and the audience were left to think "that won't make the lion go!"
I had never seen Will Smith interviewed before and my introduction to his personality was a memorable one!

I used to think that 6'1" was possible for him but then I saw an old episode of Fresh Prince. He was standing next to "Tiny" Lister who is 6'5" and he didnt look much under 6'2". Ofc he had more shoe ( timbs) but I think Rob is right.
shiva 181 cms said on 17/Oct/16
Rob, what about 6'1.25 he can look anything from 6'1-1.5 than 6'1.5-2 he can look 6'1 flat a lot but it's his lowest don't you think 6'1.25 is a better figure than 6'1.5?

anywhere from 6ft 1 to 6ft 1.5 I think you can make a case for...
Mark said on 12/Oct/16
Rob, right now. James and I are having a heated argument of whether Cavill is only 183.5/184 or 184/185 with Will Smith. I'm still thinking that Cavill is over 6'0" flat like 6'0.5" to 6'0.75".
What is your view on the debate if you don't mind me asking? I don't mind if I'm actually wrong about this.
Click Here
Editor Rob
well Smith looks to have a 1-inch style, Cavill might have a 0.75 inch style...but some models can have varying insoles.
I've seen as little as 1-2mm insoles and then some makers build in an insole that is 1/4 inch thick.
Shredder said on 10/Oct/16
I'm not going to lie , He can look under 6 '1 " , but is he really that low if measured? Makes me wonder because my 6'1 " friend said Will is his height max and could be less.

Looked nearly an inch shorter than Djokovic but that is expected because Smith is no taller than Federer.
He also looked about 1.75-inches taller than Cavil but Smith had an 0.5-inch footwear advantage thus, he is between 1-1.25-inches taller than Cavil.

I don't get how so many people see a full inch between him and Henry Cavill. Will Smith likely has a smaller forehead, and he's wearing more shoes. I see 1.5-2 CM between the two of them.

will smith is 6 feet at most after looking at that picture with him and isiah thomas whose listed at 6'1 by the nba but that is likey a measurment with shoes on. isiah thomas had atleast had an inch on will in that photo
Canson said on 5/Aug/16
@James yes that was my initial estimate. Just like you initially had Kobe Bryant as 196 cm, and now say he may be as low as 194.5. I said below (based on my Martin Lawrence estimate of 5'7) that Will looks 5-6" taller. If you look at the two of them Martin comes to his mid nose. That's putting Will between 6'-6'1. If you watched fresh prince he was significantly shorter than James Avery who was 6'4.5 (194.3 thats put a Will 185-186).

He's 184. He's at least 4" shorter than Tyler Perry and
Michael Jordan

I have a hard time deciding if he'd max 187cm or 188.

187/188cm is probably his range out of bed. That'd be where he gets he gets his 6'2 claim from. Case closed I think.
