Do u agree shredder that in independence day he looked no taller than a flat 6'1? Heck even 6'1.5 looked a stretch in that film. No way in hell did he give the IMPRESSION of a 6'2 guy.

Forgive me but I actually once believed Will was 6'3" after seeing it on the database of films... I didn't question it, he always looked pretty lanky to me. I agree that he's clearly nothing over 6'2" but 6'0 seriously....
James said on 21/Feb/13
will could look over 6'1 in the fresh prince
Lillo Thomas said on 20/Feb/13
Will is 6-1 at best .
Lillo Thomas said on 20/Feb/13
Yup . He never look over 6-1 in fresh prince . He is 6-1 at best

I do agree that in some films like bad boys 2, I robot, independence day and hitched he gives the impression of 185cm or 186cm. I think in independence he looked no taller than 6'1 (185cm)

In the fresh prince days however he looked 6'2 a lot or 6'2-6'3 when he was wearing to timbs

there is a big difference between contributing and pestering and demanding something be changed danimal, i am not the first person to bring this up either, this is pestering

Rob, straight up. What do YOU need to see with YOUR eyes to lower this man to 6'1"?

Danimal says on 26/Dec/12
Still haven't changed his height yet Rob?
Lo sgozzatore said on 12/Feb/13
6' is downgrading. Ok, he can look it sometimes but i doubt he's under 6'0.75. 6'1 fits him. If you want to give morning height, then 6'1.5 could be close.
James said on 11/Feb/13
Do u agree rob he looks taller than holyfield in the link I posted?
Editor Rob
yeah he could be...but then he could also look shorter than richard roundtree (who himself claimed to be just about 6ft 2)...
James said on 11/Feb/13
1 inch taller than 185cm evander holyfield and that is with poor posture
Click Here

looks like he could have 2 inches on on holyfield if he straightend up. we all know that 6'3 is ridicolous for will though.
Balrog said on 10/Feb/13
184-186 is his range.
Trent said on 9/Feb/13
To be fair, Vegas, the comment section exists so that we can discuss the height of the celebrities, so it doesn't seem reasonable to tell Danimal to go away if he disagrees with a listing.

I think there is much reasonable evidence for an appreciable downgrade of Smith. He was clearly shorter than this 6'1 listed basketball player, he was shorter than 6'1 listed NFL star Bo Jackson (and with a shoe advantage to Smith no less!), and shorter than 6'1 listed Brian Mitchell (even though, again, Smith had more footwear). And he sure as heck didn't look only an inch under MC Gainey.

I would literally bet money on Smith measuring around 6' flat at night.

____________

danimal start your own site if you feel so strongly about this, there you can list smith at his correct height of 5'11...
Trent said on 6/Feb/13
Ah, yes, Danimal: I forgot about Isiah Thomas, another 6'1 listed athlete who was clearly taller than Smith.
James said on 6/Feb/13
Sachs Baron Cohen looks 6'5 in photos
Lo sgozzatore said on 6/Feb/13
Yeah, 6'1.25 is not impossible. 6'1 is perfect, as shredder says. 6'1.5 is probably his morning height
Arch Stanton said on 5/Feb/13
You could argue 6'3.5" for Sacha though James. I think Will Farrell is a legit 190 cm guy.
James said on 4/Feb/13
He did look 186cm next too 6'2.5 Will Ferrell (Farrell is not a proper 6'3 man like Sacha Baron Cohen)
Larc 74in said on 4/Feb/13
Trent:
He isn't shorter than Bo, with footwear advantage he looks an hair taller than him, and I'm not looking at his hair. This means that they're actually around the same barefoot, so 6'1 seems right.

And come on, that pic is ugly as hell, Goldblum closer to the camera with the worst angle ever, and Mitchell is bending is head and so losing a lot of height.

Sorry Trent but I disagree, 6'0 for Will Smith is nonsense.
Trent said on 3/Feb/13
Arch:

I think Goldblum can still reasonably be about 6'4 with Will at 6'0.

Click Here - Goldbum is standing around 4 inches above Smith there. Admittedly Smith is a bit lax with posture, but then he is in boots.

Even in the pic and gif you linked he looks around 3 inches under Goldblum, and that's with a fairly severe slant in the ground to Goldblum's disadvantage.

And the pic of him with Freeman is very unfair because Will is much closer to the camera. Also, again, if you look at the background, you can see there is a tilt that would work to the advantage of the person further on the left--Will.

Larc:

No, Will appears clearly shorter then Bo to me. I watched the whole scene a few times and the only time Will looked a bit taller was when Bo leaned in. Will's higher hair could make the difference not look as large at first though. And like I said Will has a footwear advantage anyway. You can look at stills in Gettyimages to prove this.



Mitchell is very reasonably at 6'1, and has described himself as such. See here with Goldblum: Click Here

And Gainey is listed at 6'2.5 everywhere and looked dead on with Ted Danson in an old episode of Cheers, so I doubt he was 6'3. And his posture is very similar to Smith's in all linked pictures.

I don't think I'm seeing things that aren't there at all.
Lillo Thomas said on 3/Feb/13
6-0 is a bit low for Will . He is atleast 6-0.5 . 6-1 flat is possible .
James said on 3/Feb/13
hmmm i wonder how tall will smith and jeff goldblum would look next too peter crouch?
James said on 3/Feb/13
i think archs photo proves that jeff was probably not over a flat 6'4 at his peak since will smith is probably not a full 6'2. This could also mean that vince vaughn was 196cm max as well.


Maybe though?

Will Smith 6'1.5 (187cm)
Jeff Goldblum 6'4.25 (194cm)
Lo sgozzatore said on 3/Feb/13
I am the first saying he's not 6'1.5 but 6' is delusional... He can look 185-186 lots of the times, so 6'1 flat fits him perfectly...
Arch Stanton said on 3/Feb/13
Click Here

Seriously you think he looks 6'0 next to Jeff Goldblum? he was 3 inches shorter TOPs in that movie and a case could be made for Goldblum being 6'4.5" peak.. Trust me, that is not how a flat '6 guy looks next to a legit 6'4" guy.
Arch Stanton said on 3/Feb/13
Click Here

Jeff Goldblum 6'2 tops?
Arch Stanton said on 3/Feb/13
Click Here

Do you think Morgan Freeman is 6'0 too Trent?
Larc 74in said on 3/Feb/13
@Trent:

Edged out by who? He looks taller than Jackson in this video:

Click Here

Mitchell is taller than 6'1, check his pics next to 6'4 Goldblum for evidence, plus footwear isn't visible.
MC Gainey could've been 190 at his peak, since he still looks 188-189 now, average loss for 60y is 1cm but since he's bigger and fatter it's possible he lost a fraction more. Plus, even a blind can see that Smith isn't standing fully straight in your pics.

6'1 flat is his height.
You see only what you want to see Trent.
Trent said on 2/Feb/13
Since this page seems to be firing up again I will post some of my evidence for a 6' Will Smith.

Edged out by 6'1 listed NFL player Bo Jackson, even though Smith is in basketball shoes and Bo in dress shoes: Click Here

Also edged out by actor Brian Stokes Mitchell, described at 6'1 in some interviews: Click Here And Smith is in Timberland-style boots while Mitchell is in dress shoes.

2 - 3 inches shorter than MC Gainey (they are both in boots): Click Here Click Here Rob met and saw Gainey at 6'2; however he was around 60 at the time, so he could be down a fraction from his peak. He is listed at 6'2.5 everywhere.
Lillo Thomas said on 1/Feb/13
James is funny with his 6-2 will smith fantasies . Lol Will is 6-1 at best . Come on James repeat the mantra he is 6-1 at best .
Lillo Thomas said on 1/Feb/13
He is 6-1 at best.
Joey said on 31/Jan/13
solid 184cm .... and clearly not over 185cm in bare feet...only when wearing shoes he's 6'2 area
Jamesy said on 31/Jan/13
He always looked 6'2 in the 1990-1992 seasons of the fresh prince.
Arch Stanton said on 31/Jan/13
Martin Lawrence? Somewhere between 5'6" and 5'7" I think. He looked 5'6" next to Tim Robbins. 5'6.5" I think would be a good guess.
Vegas said on 23/Jan/13
Trent says on 22/Jan/13
He never pulls off 6'2. He can pull off 6'1 if he has higher hair and shoes.
______________

alots got to do with posture 33 seconds Click Here
Trent said on 23/Jan/13
Strong 5'6 for Lawrence.
Lo sgozzatore said on 22/Jan/13
Perfectly agree with you, Shredder ;)
This listing is a stretch, i actually never saw a photo or anything where he looks more than 185-186
Trent said on 22/Jan/13
He never pulls off 6'2. He can pull off 6'1 if he has higher hair and shoes. I still think he's 6' flat.
Lo sgozzatore said on 21/Jan/13
ahahahh shredder, understand it! We're talking about Rampage
Yeah, he can look 6'2, IN SHOES
Nils said on 20/Jan/13
He's tall but not that tall
i think he's a good 6'1 he never looked 6'2, ever.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 20/Jan/13
Anything less than 186cm is too low for him. More than likely 187cm and can pull of the 188cm
mId said on 8/Jan/13
I can lose 1.25(3 cm).. and it sucks. losing 1.5-2cm seems to be "normal". Why does some lose more than others? In the morning my spine feels pretty "free", but not that long after walking around and stuff my spine(in the lower back region) feels too compressed when bending backwards. I've always had problem with my lower back.. stiff'ens up quite easily if I'm bending over even for a short period of time.. I wish it could feels as free and loose at it does first thing in the morning. Anybody have any advice or similar "problem"? I have pretty good abs, but could it help training the back muscles more or something? I did pretty heavy lifting when I was younger, but I think this problem(exhausted back) has been there since I was a kid. Thanks in advance for any advice.
Trent said on 8/Jan/13
No, he doesn't, James. Actually I have posted many pictures here in the past few weeks of 6'1 guys looking clearly taller than him.
Lillo Thomas said on 8/Jan/13
Nope he is 6-1 at best . Come on James repeat the mantra he is 6-1 at best .
James said on 8/Jan/13
He consistently looks taller than 185cm guys
Trey said on 7/Jan/13
Losing 1.25" isn't impossible. I wake up at 5'11, walk around at 5'10.5/75 and finish the day at 5'10 flat, it's annoying as hell. Rob will it always be this way or will it get better? I want to stay at my peak thruoghout most of the day..

Anyways Will looks to me in the 6'0.5-6'1 range rather than 6'1.5.
Trent said on 7/Jan/13
I'm 6' and some change at my low. I don't seem to have a long spine, but hey, I just lose a lot.

And yeah James does seem to the the only regular poster here thinking Will makes 6'1.5. Actually even Rob seems to think he's closer to 6'1 now.

Like I've said I think the evidence is pretty strong for him being around 6' though.

Honestly I think his 6'2.5 claim is just a lie. He claimed 6' early in his career, got listed at 6'1 in some celebrity boxing max which I think was in 1990 or something. Then 6'2. Then 6'2.5. It's been mentioned here that he claimed 6'3 in a magazine recently, and by Alex, who is a trusted poster.

Obviously he just lies about his height for some reason.
Lo sgozzatore said on 7/Jan/13
Trent, you really loose 1.25 inches? How tall are you? Anyway, i'd agree with you, what kind of person would measure himself one sec out of bed? I doubt that even Sly would do that.
@James we know you agree with Rob, you're the only one here thinking Will is really 6'1.5 :)
James said on 7/Jan/13
Yeah I agree with rob that will smith is 6'1.5
Trent said on 7/Jan/13
To be fair I lose about 1.25 inches actually. That said how many people are going to be measured right out of bed?
Lo sgozzatore said on 7/Jan/13
Come on, Rob! Loosing 1.25 inches for a normal tall guy as him is as rare as growing after 25! Supertall Ali Baba said he looses less than an inch! Thats getting ridicolous! 6'1 flat guy, A Josh Holloway would be taller
Editor Rob
it's not that improbable.
Trent said on 6/Jan/13
More evidence for a 6' Will Smith: he appears clearly shorter than Louis Gossett who Rob met and saw as 6'1.

Lillo Thomas said on 6/Jan/13
Will is in the 6-0 range . I give him 6-.5 without shoes . 6-1 is not impossible but is the max he could be . 6-1.5 could be his morning height .
Lo sgozzatore said on 6/Jan/13
If he lost half inch and was still that height with Smith, then Will could look 6'1... If he was 6'2, he really doesnt look over 6'0.5... He looks 6' with bad posture, 6'1 straight up. 6'1.5 could be an outofbed height. 6'2.5, maybe in timbs in the morning.
Editor Rob
maybe he shrinks more than average. Imagine he lost 1.25 inches from waking till evening...
Trent said on 6/Jan/13
To be fair to Smith, Rob met Gainey when he was around 60, so he probably stood a fraction taller 20 years ago in Fresh Prince. He is listed at 6'2.5 everywhere and juuust edged out Ted Danson in an old episode of Cheers. But yeah probably a weak 6'2 nowadays.

So yeah Will really appears about 6' with MC gainey if he was 6'2.5. And they were both in Timerland-style shoes.
Lo sgozzatore said on 6/Jan/13
Well, if McGainey is 6'2.5, then Smith looks 6'1 but the funny thing is that McGainey is not even 6'2.5, but only 6'2 in Rob's opinion... He did look an inch taller than Matthew Fox and Terry o'Quinn too. Rob, could Mc Gainey be 6'3?
Editor Rob
he could have lost half inch, but I don't think he looked more than a 6ft 2 guy does in person.
Lillo Thomas said on 6/Jan/13
Mc is really 6-2.5 ? In that case will is looking 6-0 tops with him .
Lo sgozzatore said on 6/Jan/13
When he has bad posture, he looks max 6'! With good posture he can look 185-186, no more
Trent said on 5/Jan/13
I'd still like someone to explain how he could be a strong 6'1 next to 6'2.5 MC gainey. Click Here Click Here
Lo sgozzatore said on 5/Jan/13
He's gotta be 6'2.5 if measured, but with bad posture he looks 6'1 tops. We're all potentially 6'5 tall, but posture makes it all :)
miko said on 5/Jan/13
Don't be pressured into changing your listing just for Danimals sake Rob, he's obsessed with Smith's height, I bet he wishes Smith was really 5'8 so he could be taller than him.
Lillo Thomas said on 5/Jan/13
He look next to James Avery in fresh prince what he is a above average height dude . Really tall height start at 6-3 . Will always claim taller than he is because will is a tall wannabe guy .
Lillo Thomas said on 5/Jan/13
Rob there isn't a way he is taller than 6-1 . Countless of pics and vids next to legit 6-4 and 6-5 proves he is 6-1 tops .
Lo sgozzatore said on 5/Jan/13
Yeah, all is explained with bad posture, isnt it Rob?
James said on 4/Jan/13
He's still a tall man. If you stood him next too a 1988 Clint Eastwood there would not be a big difference (about 2 inches) between the 2 men. He did not look like a dwarf compared too James Avery in the fresh prince so he is a tall guy.

Maybe when he is 70 he will be 6ft but not now
173 said on 4/Jan/13
@Jake: 6'2.5"... in Timbs.
Lillo Thomas said on 4/Jan/13
He is 6-1 at best . Come on jake repeat the mantra he is 6-1 at best . Will is obviously a liar about his height .
Trent said on 3/Jan/13
To my mind he's 6'.

A milisecond out of bed, with the posture of a ramrod, in Timberland's, he might be his 6'2.5 claim.

@LJ: I don't know what pics of Will and Federer you've seen, but:

the shredder says on 9/Dec/12
Rob , I know you been asked 1000000000000000000000 times , but hows about a 6'1.25 listing for new years ?

[Editor Rob: that isn't ruled out, if you look at him with someone like roger federer, I think they are pretty evenly matched.]
Lillo Thomas said on 2/Jan/13
He is 6-1 at best . Come on James repeat the mantra he is 6-1 at best .
James said on 1/Jan/13
6'2 is not absurd for his out of bed height.

Rob do u think will would have just about 3 inches on brad pitt?
Trent... said on 1/Jan/13
The Federer photos are really not good to judge by. Their postures are all over the place. In different shots either person has managed to appear noticeably taller.
LJ said on 31/Dec/12
To be fair, he does look an inch taller than 6'1 Roger Federer in the photos I've seen. Obviously Smith could be 187, but I don't think it's completely preposterous to think he could be 188.
Trent said on 31/Dec/12
With clothes he doesn't really look gangly to me: Click Here

Without clothes he does though. I think it is his muscle insertion points. He has a very tapered look. Click Here
Lo sgozzatore said on 31/Dec/12
I bet that a Josh Holloway would be taller than him (and he's listed at only 6'1) :)
173 said on 31/Dec/12
LJ says on 31/Dec/12
I'm actually buying 6'2 for him. I've never seen someone who's 6'1 look that gangly.

Jaden Smith seems to have inherited his mother's stature.
------------------------------------------------------------
That's what I said! I expect Jaden Smith's adult height to be 5'7".

Will is 6'2.5" but only in Timbs. He's 6'1" flat barefooted!
Trent said on 26/Dec/12
His son is only 14. It's rare to stop at that age. Most people go up a few inches, and I remember some that went up over half a foot. Jaden still looks pretty baby-faced, so I'm guessing he has a fair bit of puberty left. But then his mother is obviously extremely short so maybe he will not get much past 5'.
Peyman said on 26/Dec/12
will smith is 6ft 0.75in
no doubt on that
Lo sgozzatore said on 26/Dec/12
Considering Smith is 6'1, his son looks almost a foot shorter! I'd say 5'2...
Lillo Thomas said on 26/Dec/12
James Avery looked 4 inches taller than will smith in seasons 1 and 2 . Jeff goldblum looked about 3 inches taller than will smith in independence day movie .

This is a short clip from 'Hancock'. Watch the first few seconds of the clip. It's a different view of him in front of the height chart. Will is not standing straight but still he would be barely over 6ft. Besides you can see in the clip (around 0:17-0:19) that mugshot photos taken from the front can deceive and make a person look taller.

Will Smith is beast when it comes to weightlifting. Apparently he increased his bench press by almost 200lbs when preparing for Ali and bulked up to 220lbs.

But yeah he's no MCD or The Rock

If will smith is 6-3 then James Avery is a legit 6-7 and goldblum is 6-6 at least .

Avery and Goldblum had a very similar height advantage, about 3 inches.~~~~

Will Smith is 6'1" standing tall , and I don't think he's below that.

Will is not 6'3, even with shoes on! Maybe if he get measured with Timberlands, one second out of bed, he could be close to 6'3...
173 said on 17/Dec/12
@Bill: Will Smith 6'3"? That would make Goldblum and James Avery 6'6" at least!
mId said on 17/Dec/12
Trenton: I've never seen those behind the scenes pictures before.. Holyfield seems to stand a little weird in the black and white photo and will seems to have a little shoe advantage as you say, but I still think he's the taller one between the two.. that's the way it looks to me atleast.. exept for in the middle-photo. So I still think 6'-6'.5 holyfield and 6'1 will, BUT I have to say that it was a very good post with good pics and explanations for you height-estimate of Will.

And Lo sgozzatore: No worries, I'm with ya now :)
Lo sgozzatore said on 17/Dec/12
Sorry mId, i wanted to say he's nowhere near 6'1.5. I think he really is 6'1 flat! I wouldnt go under it too, even if i think there's more probability he's under 6'1 than 6'1.5!
Trenton said on 17/Dec/12
Sorry, I just realised the last sentence of my second-to-last paragraph there doesn't quite make sense. I meant to say "*there was* an article where he yadda yadda yadda". Brain fart, I guess. Worth noting that he makes one of his ludicrous 6'2.5 claims in that article too.
Trenton said on 17/Dec/12
mId . . . Mike Tyson's 5'10 listing seems very fair looking at him with the 5'8 guy here: imgur.com/bFzF8 Now, I drew up this chart to illustrate Evander Holyfield's height: imgur.com/O7QSU I estimate a little more than an inch between King and Tyson and a little under 2 inches between Holyfield and King. So, for Holyfield I'd say 6'1.

People have often cited the Holyfield-Smith scene as a reason why Smith can't be the 6' that some people, such as myself, argue he is--but I am suspicious. I put a gallery together here: imgur.com/DubEJ

In the first two shots, taken during rehearsals, Smith and Evander seem pretty much to match each other in height, though Smith is in some kind of chunky trainer while Evander is in some sort of flat shoe. So, Smith, yet again, looks like a 6' guy.

However, in the shot of footage that went into the episode, Smith somehow gains around half an inch on Holyfield. My conclusion is that one of two things (or possibly a combination of both) occurred: Smith went to catch a nap before filming and gained height through having been lying down--or Smith wore lifts.

I will admit he does look his listed height in that scene, but there is enough other evidence of him being only 6' to make me think something fishy was going on.

I wouldn't put lifts past Smith. We all know how outrageously he has lied about this height before; and there was an article in Men's Health where his personal trainer said Smith could bench 385 . . . yeah, right. Actually, in an article where he described himself as a "big strong man who could beat up most people" (source: Click Here).

So, it's obvious Smith likes to keep a public image of himself as a big tough guy. He stars as the hero in action films after all. Therefore you should not rule out lifts on an occasion when he can appear suspiciously tall.
mId said on 17/Dec/12
Lo sgozzatore: So by your estimates.. how tall are Will smith, Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson? If I understand you correctly you think Will is nowhere near 6'1?.. that sounds a little extreme.. Because I think even 6 flat is too low for him. He just can't be based on how he looks next to holyfield and tyson. In my eyes he can't be under 6'1.. 184 cm MAYBE, but even that is pushing it because that would mean holyfield is under 6'.. and he can't be that can he? I mean how tall is tyson then to you?.. this site has him at 5'10.
Bill said on 17/Dec/12
You guys are all crazy. I met Will Smith 13 years ago and let me tell you he is a monster of a man! He is at least 6'3" with great staring eyes and a big head. He towered over my friend who I know is 6'1 & 1/2" tall for a FACT!

At this point, does it change anything if Rob changes him? We all know he's not this listing, 6'1 flat is ok! If he wants to keep him at a wrong listing, thats his business. Thats his site and he we cant force him to change his mind! Its clear hes noway near 6'1, we know it (probably even Rob knows that) and thats enough...

That link is blocked too 173, same thing happened to me. Must be Will Smith's management protecting his 6 ft 2 image LOL. He barely looks 6 ft next to Damon who is by no means a definitive 5 ft 10 guy, it's still debatable.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
LOL That's so strange how the pics with Matt Damon are blocked from being posted on this site, what gives? But yeah, Smith BARELY looked 6'0" with Damon in those pics (although I think Will Smith is actually 6'1" in reality).
Trent said on 16/Dec/12
He can look 6'1 at times when the person he is with is slouching or he has a footwear advantage or his hair deceives. He always seems to be 6' to me when I closely examine though. I've never seen him pull off a 6'3 impression.

There are various pics of Will with Bo on Gettyimages and he appears on-screen with him too.
Arch Stanton said on 16/Dec/12
And I've said before that just because somebody can look a certain height in some photos, it doesn't mean they actually are. Will Smith can look anything from 6 ft to 6 ft 3.
Arch Stanton said on 16/Dec/12
Could Will Smith be more 5 ft 11? Connor 184cm says on 16/Dec/12
Rob i read some comments from other users claiming that will smith is only 5ft 11 what do you think of this?
[Editor Rob: Although people are entirely entitled to believe any height they want, I can't believe he'd measure that low.]

Connor, it was said in good jest. I've said that I believe Will is a solid 6'1" guy, but I could believe he is 185cm. Clearly he is a six footer. Anything under 6 ft is obviously as silly as Brad Pitt being 5 ft 8 and Tom Cruise being 5 ft 5.
mId said on 16/Dec/12
I think Will is one of the few people on here who I "defend" when it comes to height rather than saying he's a little overlisted. Am I the only one who looked taller by an inch than the NFL guy in the youtube-clip? The NFL guy is probably the one closer to 6' if 6'1 is his listed height. Will can't be shorter than 6'1 if you ask me. If you think will is 6' you must think holyfield is 5'11.. and have you seen how much taller holyfield look than tyson Click Here who this site has at 5'10.
Trent said on 16/Dec/12
Shredder, he is actually under Bo Jackson. He has very high hair so that could fool you. If you look at the tips of their hairlines it should show you. Note that Smith is in chunky shoes too. Click Here

If we take Bo as the 6'1 then Smith must be 6' or so.

He is 6-1 at best . Come on James repeat the mantra . He is 6-1 at best . 6-1 at best , 6-1 at best , 6-1 at best ect . Repeat atleast 100 times .
Trent said on 15/Dec/12
Nice find, Vegas. Another 6'1 guy who is taller than Will Smith. Don't let his hair fool you. See: Click Here

And Smith probably footwear advantage! He was in basketball shoes (see here: Click Here
). We can't be absolutely sure of Bo's footwear, but it's unlikely to have been very high, as I'm guessing he wasn't in chunky trainers like Will based on the clothes of his we can see. It wouldn't be in keeping with the style. Boots would have worked, but we can see from this pic here-- Click Here Boo's shoes did not come above his ankle. So my money's on dress shoes or shoes with a similarly sized heel.

So, we have yet another guy who makes Will look around an even 6'.
Trent said on 15/Dec/12
He appears around an inch shorter to me. See here: Click Here
Smith's high hair could throw you off a bit.
Vegas said on 15/Dec/12
bo jackson was listed 6'1 in the nfl, with smith @13 secs Click Here
Trent said on 15/Dec/12
I think 6' is about where Smith stands.

My evidence:

Click Here -- Smith with MC Gainey, who is listed at 6'2.5 everywhere. Even when met by Rob in his 60's, a heavy guy like him still looked close to 6'2.

Gainey actually only appeared around an inch under James Avery in Fresh Prince, though Gainey did take half an inch in shoe advantage. (Click Here)

Avery obviously described himself as 6'4 to an interviewer since we have this quote: "FOR A LONG TIME, James Avery resisted Hollywood for fear his size - 6 foot 4, about 250 pounds - would typecast him. ''I didn't want to be the big, dumb black ..." -- San Jose Mercury News - Sep 23, 1996

Therefore looking at Gainey with Avery and everything else we have we can establish that Gainey was in fact 6'2.5. And Smith appears about 2.5 inches under him.

For that matter we can also establish that Avery was 6'4, and not the 6'5 some have speculated him at. Look at Smith with 6'4 Avery and 6'2.5 Gainey: Click Here (Gainey and Smith in Timb-style shoes, Avery in dress shoes)

Does Smith *really* look 6'1.5 there to you, let alone his absurd 6'3 claim?

We also have him appearing around half an inch shorter than Brian Stokes Mitchells, who has given a 6'1 claim in a few interview-articles--even though Smith takes a half inch shoe advantage: Click Here

Click Here --And lastly see him next to basketball player Isiah Thomas, who has said he is 6'1 a few times. Smith appears around an inch shorter.

So we have a lot of evidence screaming that Smith is only 6'. That's where my money's on.

Matt Damon doesnt look under 5'9 to me... He can look anything in the 5'9-5'10 range. Will Smith at about 6'1 is ok
173 said on 14/Dec/12
IMO Will Smith is 6'1", Tom Cruise is 5'7.5", and Brad Pitt is around 5'10.5".

Smith and Damon: Click Here WOW! is all I have to say about that...
James said on 14/Dec/12
clint eastwood i think was a weak 6'4 peak. no chance freeman was just 6'1.5 in 1991
Arch Stanton said on 14/Dec/12
Yes James, today he could be 6'1.5", never in 1991 though.
Arch Stanton said on 14/Dec/12
Reality is that a peak Freeman was 6'2.5" range, Will Smith is a strong 6'1" guy, Clint Eastwood was 6 ft 3 in Unforgiven and Brad Pitt is probably 5'10.5" range, and Cruise 5'7.5". Just my opinion but you cannot have Freeman at 6'1.5" in 1991 and claim the others are as listed.
Arch Stanton said on 14/Dec/12
Freeman at 6'1.5" and Brad Pitt being minimum 4 inches shorter, 5'9.5" at best, that would put Tom Cruise at 5'6.5" based on Pitt being 3 inches taller than him which seems accurate from what I've seen.
173 said on 14/Dec/12
@Arch: The Matt Damon link doesn't work.
James said on 13/Dec/12
Feeman could be 6'1.5 these days
173 said on 13/Dec/12
It's not the best pic with Morgan Freeman, I still think Will is 6'1". Not under 6'1", maybe 6'1.25", but just 6'1".
Arch Stanton said on 12/Dec/12
Click Here

To be fair he doesn't look over 6 ft here next to Matt Damon!!
Arch Stanton said on 12/Dec/12
Click Here

Again here looks close to 6'2" Morgan Freeman.
Arch Stanton said on 12/Dec/12
Click Here

Not much shorter than Morgan Freeman. I actually think this is spot on. Maybe 186cm, anything under 6'1" I think is silly. There is a small chance he is 6'0.5" at lowest but a flat 6' or lower is just poppy cock.
173 said on 12/Dec/12
He's at least 6'1", Danimal!
Mathew said on 11/Dec/12
I agree with Rob. 50/50 to me on whether Will Smith is more 186 cm or 187 cm. The 6-0 crowd is undercutting him, he's at least 6'1".
Lillo Thomas said on 11/Dec/12
He is at best . Come on repeat the mantra .

6'2 out of bed
Arch Stanton said on 10/Dec/12
I can't believe some of the comments here LOL. Look at a height chart, an inch is nothing, .0.25 of an inch you could lose within a few minutes of waking! 187cm is bleeding ridiculous. he's 186!! Honestly, why squabble over a cm!! About 3 inches shorter than possible 6'4.5" peak Jeff Goldblum. If he's not 6'1.5" he has to be 6'1".
Lo sgozzatore said on 10/Dec/12
To those who say he is 6'.... He for sure can look that at times, which doesnt mean he really is! 6' is too low for him, but at the same time 6'1.5 is too high... Near 6'1 is ok! Better chanche he's 6'0.5 than 6'1.5!
173 said on 8/Dec/12
@LeBron6: It looks like Will is leaning in there and not standing straight, that's why.

I think 50/50 between either.

6-0 is too low for Will. He's not under 6'1" flat. But he's also not more than 6'1.5". That's how I see him.

Isn't hugh jackman taller than him? 186cm.

I can't really make my mind up on wills height
173 said on 3/Dec/12
Yeah, 6'0" or 6'0.5" is TOO low for Will and maybe what he looks like with loose posture, but standing tall I think he's 6'1".

@James: what do you think Will is exactly? Your posts kind of confuse me because one minute it seems you think Will is taller than 6'1.5", then the next minute, you think he's lower, lol.
mId said on 3/Dec/12
I always thought will looked about 6'2.. under 6'1 would really surprise me. I mean holyfield looks one inch shorter than will.. and holyfield has to be at least 6'.
Joey said on 2/Dec/12
one of my favourite actors but never ever 6'2..always had him figured for a strong 6feet to weak 6'1

Click Here
Click Here

pretty much a strong 6 foot frame/body

my bet is 184cm
James said on 2/Dec/12
We don't know Brian's official height though do we? For all we know he could be 6'2

6'0 is too low for will
Trent said on 2/Dec/12
Does anyone else think he could be only about 6'0? I know Danimal pretty much agrees with me. With the MC Gainey pics I posted a few days ago that's really what he looks to me.

Also he was edged out by Brian Stokes Mitchell, who has been described as 6'1 in a few articles, even Smith had a shoe advantage of half an inch or so (he was inch Timberland style shoes and Mitchell was in dress shoes): Click Here
James said on 1/Dec/12
Rob u would think someone like will smith who inflates his height would want too stand as tall as possible.
Editor Rob
it's just his nature, you have some guys who stand tall, others who are a bit loose a lot of time.
James said on 1/Dec/12

the top of his head was at the 6'2' mark in Hancock when he got his mugshot taken in prison
-------------------------------------------
He was in shoes so 6'2" in shoes and 6'1" barefoot.
James said on 30/Nov/12
Rob would you say 185cm is too low for will?
Editor Rob
it's not impossible, it is a valid guess. I can see a lot of instances were 6ft 1 is what he looks, then other times I think this guy doesn't stand as tall as he might and then think maybe he might just be a bit over 6ft 1...
James said on 30/Nov/12
Yeah he does look 6'1 tops with Gainey
Hov said on 30/Nov/12
He said he was 6'2' in I, Robot and the top of his head was at the 6'2' mark in Hancock when he got his mugshot taken in prison, im pretty sure he knows his own height, i like how you people are trying to say what his height is when your aren't even him smh
Lillo Thomas said on 29/Nov/12
There isn't any 6-1.5 arguments . This figure is too high . Will is 6 -1 at best .
Lo sgozzatore said on 28/Nov/12
After looking at these pics, 6'1.5 cant be argued anymore, Rob! Be honest, he actually looks neither 6'1... 6'1 is still generous and you should list him at that! Here everybody agrees he's no more than 6'1...
Lo sgozzatore said on 28/Nov/12
Rob, i think that the pics with MC Gainey can definitely rule out the 6'1.5 listing... If he were 6'1.5, then MC Gainey is near 6'3. You think that's possible? He looks 6'1 tops with him!
Editor Rob
i have said 6ft 1-1.5 is likely range, anything in that can be argued.
Trent said on 26/Nov/12
He is nowhere near 6'2, Hov. They don't bother actually making those charts to scale.

Look at him next to MC Gainey (claims 6'2.5): Click Here

And yet Will claims 6'3 lol.
Hov said on 26/Nov/12
He is 6'2', if you watch Hancock it shows his mugshot and height when he goes to jail and the top of his head is at the 6 foot 2 inches mark, but i dont know if he was barefoot or in shoes, and his eye level is 5 foot 9 inches exactly
James said on 19/Nov/12
Lol that's Jason stathem not will smith. Will would have 4 inches on stathem
Trent said on 19/Nov/12
That's why people shouldn't put any stock in those mugshot scenes. I think like 3 separate ones have been posted here at times. Most of the time do you really think they bother scaling those things properly? No. They're not interested in painting a height for the actor. They just want to make a police station environment.
jack231 said on 18/Nov/12
In the film Death Race there is a mugshot scene of him. They made him look 6'.

If will smith is 6'1 that could mean evander holyfield is 6'0.
mId said on 12/Nov/12

So how tall is evander holyfield then? Will is slouching/bending forward and still looks half an inch taller. There is an inch between them it seems. Holyfield is listed 6'1 on this site. I can buy 6'1 will.. 6' holyfield. because he seemed to have two inches on 5'10 tyson.
James said on 12/Nov/12
If martin Lawrence is 5'6.76 then that means will smith is 6'0.75 or 6'1. And appearef 5'11.75-6ft next too him in bad boys 2.
Lillo Thomas said on 11/Nov/12
Let's say that isaih Thomas is really 6-1 barefoot . Will is looking 6-.5 max with him.

Maybe people think he is 6ft because he smaller than Isaiah thomas
173 said on 9/Nov/12

185-186 range, maybe 186, strong 6'1.

6'0 is utterly nonsense.
miko said on 7/Nov/12
It's Rob's site and if he chooses to keep Will at 187cm then accept it.

From a personal view he's 6'2 out of bed, dropping to 6'1/6'1.25 late at night.
Dmeyer said on 7/Nov/12
Rob do you agree after a long day hé is nothing less than 186cm 6'1.25
Editor Rob
I think for will you can argue 6ft 1-1.5, anything in that range
Lillo Thomas said on 6/Nov/12
Danimal If isiah Thomas was shorter than his listed height ( as most players are ) that's really bad news for Will .
James said on 5/Nov/12
Trent he looks taller than 6ft next too his men in black 3 co stars
James said on 5/Nov/12
I think will can sometimes have a complex when on screen with taller actors like James Avery. Not that will smith is short or average height since 6'1 is taller than most men at 4 inches over average.

In 1990 it was 6'1.25 (186cm) vs 6'4.75 (195cm)
Lillo Thomas said on 5/Nov/12
The difference between james Avery and will was easily 4 inches in the seasons 1-2 . Will footware is the reason of the gap between them of 3 inches in later seasons
. James Avery could also lose a bit height from his peak.
Arch Stanton said on 5/Nov/12
Click Here

Pause at 2:51. Does he really look 6'0, I don't think so.
Arch Stanton said on 5/Nov/12
Well he was 3-3.5 inches shorter than both Avery and Goldblum I thought. I can believe 6'1", 6'0" is definitely starting to push it..
Lillo Thomas said on 4/Nov/12
Yes James will smith was a legit 6-6 in fresh prince .
James said on 4/Nov/12
Overall if Avery was 196cm in the fresh prince then will smith looked a strong 187cm in comparison.
James said on 4/Nov/12
James Avery has recently been upgraded too 6'5 peak. Arch Stanton pointed out that James had 3 inches on will... if Avery was really 6'5 then will smith looked 6'2 compared too him in the later seasons of the fresh prince.

Of course that could have been because will wore timbs a lot? I did notice a bigger gap between the 2 in the early seasons so either will started too put on larger footware or Avery shrunk throughout the 6 year span if the series?
173 said on 3/Nov/12
I'll tell ya, the more famous someone gets, the higher their height claims go up too.
173 said on 3/Nov/12
Danimal says on 2/Nov/12
I agree with you Trent. Again, he was listed at 5'11" in the late 80's. He could have grown a bit since then. I think he grew to just over 6'0" (not more), hence the reason why 6'1" listed Isiah Thomas was taller than a fully grown Will Smith in exactly the same footwear and same stance. I say he's slightly over 6'0" barefoot.
----------------------------------
Will says he stopped growing at 14 though
James said on 3/Nov/12
Well I would not say he is under 6'1 and I agree that 6'2 is defo extreme
Lillo Thomas said on 3/Nov/12
He is 6-1 at best . Come on James repeat the mantra HE IS 6-1 AT BEST.
173 said on 2/Nov/12
@James: Yeah, just accuse everyone estimating Will at 6'1" a troll when that's what he really looks like. 6'1" is a good genuine estimate. The people claiming 5'11" or 6'2"+ should be the ones you call trolls.
Trent said on 2/Nov/12
Oh, and this Arch Stanton guy is now saying 6' guesses are trolling too. Just look at him next to MC Gainey. I think a 6' estimate is extremely reasonable. It would be trolling if I said he looked 5'9 or something of course.
Trent said on 2/Nov/12
Lol, James is calling the people who disagree with him trolls. James, when I have made my posts explaining why I think Smith is only 6'0, where did you see the trolling? I wasn't disorting anything. I was posting videos and pics and detailing the reasonable size differences between the people in them. I hardly see how you could call that trolling.

If anyone is the troll here, it's you, James. You upgrade everyone without any further evidence purely because they make Smith look shorter than what 6'1.5 or whatever.

You were the one who used to say he looked 6'3 in Fresh Prince, ignoring all the evidence and instead faking evidence by simply declaring celebrities he appeared with to be much taller than anything indicates they are.

Of course there are trolls on this website, but I really don't see how you could look at these comments and see them as trolling.
James said on 2/Nov/12
Rob do u think tommy Lee Jones could have been shorter than 184cm peak if will smith is less than 187cm? These days Jones looks only 1 inch taller josh brolin who u have at 178cm.

Next too josh will Smith looks a solid 6'1 I think.
Arch Stanton said on 2/Nov/12
James says on 2/Nov/12
Rob maybe it could be that a lot of trolls want will smith too be as short as possible... are there times when reading through the comments on this page that you come very close too downgrading will? People on here have been screaming 6'1 tops for 7 yeas now.

I have too admit that he does not look 187cm next too Vince Vaughn or Jeff goldblum.
[Editor Rob:
this site is meant to give some entertainment, but there's a fine line between trolling and a genuine guess sometimes ;)

6ft 1 is a good argument, 6ft 1.5 is probably the most I can argue and it may be that is more of a 10am type height!]

6'1" yeah that's a respectable guess but a flat 6' or under is pure trolling. Will looked 3 inches shorter than Goldblum and Avery I thought. Rob didn't you have him at 6'2.5" at one time? What convinced you he is not even a flat 6'2?
Editor Rob
he was given 6ft 2 for a short period, but with most people he doesn't look it.
Lillo thomas said on 2/Nov/12
Will is way shorter than legit 6-4 and 6-5 guys . He should start to wear stallone style lifts to look anything close to 6-3 .

Trent said on 1/Nov/12
Within a couple hours of waking up, in boots, he could have measured around 6'2.5 I am 6' and some change, and I've measured 6'1 and change barefoot when it's only been an hour or two after a good sleep.

It is really quite shocking to me that Will is yet to be downgraded. There is heaps of evidence for him being under his listing. I think it points pretty solidly towards 6 even, and I think it points *utterly* *indisputably* towards lower than his listing. I'm at a loss for how someone could see him this high when they look through everything that has been posted on this page.

And yeah, in a few years, it will be 6'3 1/2 or 6'4. By the time he's an 80 year old man he'll be claiming 6-foot-7-and-three-quarters with a straight face.

Trent said on 31/Oct/12
I still maintain he's only 6 even. He claimed that himself, and his claim has slowly gone higher. Went to six-two, then six-two-and-a-half, and now he's claiming six-three! Look at him next to MC Gainey. That makes even 6'1 look like a joke.

Will would only be 1 inch under 6'3 in the mornng
Lillo Thomas said on 30/Oct/12
Wrong again James. Saying that 6-3 will smith = 6-5.5 6-6 James Avery is like saying that 6-3 is inflating Will height only by a inch . 6-3 is about 2 inches above his real height .

If will Smith is 6'3 then Avery must have been 6'5.5-6'6

Will Smith looks 6'1" flat to me.
Wilson said on 25/Oct/12
Doesn't look below 6'1, looks closer to 6'2
Mathew said on 15/Oct/12
If Will is 186 cm, what's Tyler Perry? Like 192 cm? Surely he can't be a legit 6'5" if Will isn't over 6'2". Click Here

the video with federer would be definitive, but I think federer might have the footwear advantage:

Regardless, 6-1 would seem accurate.
James said on 15/Oct/12
Wow looks 182cm next too federer in that video.

Will smith 186-187cm
Vince Vaughn 195-196cm
Jeff goldblum 194cm (peak)
Lennox lewis 194-195cm
James said on 15/Oct/12

With bad posture in your pics Trent will smith looks 6ft. So yeah he does look like a 6ft man in some your pics. In your second pic though looks a strong 6'2 if he had better posture.

6-1 isn't too low . Will should be downgraded to 6-1 flat . 6-1.5 is actually a bit high .
Lo sgozzatore said on 14/Oct/12
185-186 seems ok. 6'1 for him
Trent said on 14/Oct/12
You say it's ridiculous, James, but did you watch the video? It seems pretty clear he's 6' to me. Personally I even see the whole 6'1 max thing as a real stretch. As far as I'm concerned there is abundant evidence that he is 6' or very close to it. I really think that should be his listing. He even claimed it at one point.

But fine, I'll fetch even more evidence for you.

Smith and Lennox Lewis (reported by the papers as 6'4.75): Click Here Click Here (smith has a footwear advantage here, btw: Click Here - Smith in boots, Lewis in dress shoes)

Smith with Djimon Hounsou (listed on this site as 6'1.5): Click Here Click Here

Smith with Tom Rothman (listed at 6'1, which looks about right seeing him with people like Samuel Jackson and Adrien Brody on Gettyimages): Click Here Click Here

And lastly Smith with Federer, who has constantly been described as 6'1: Click Here
James said on 13/Oct/12
I think 6ft or 6'3 are ridicolous estimates for big will. 6'2.5 is a stretch and at the same time 6'1 is too low (maybe).

The lowest will smith could be is 186cm and 185cm or 184cm are out of the question.
James said on 13/Oct/12
Oh come on 6'0 is ridicolous
Chameleon said on 13/Oct/12
Trent's vid is just another piece of evidence added to the pile of Will being 6'1 at the absolute maximum. Better chance hes 6'0 than he is 187cm.
James said on 13/Oct/12
6'2.5 is defo too high
Lillo thomas said on 13/Oct/12
Will smith 6-2.5 claim is really hilarious . A tall wanna be guy.
Silent d said on 12/Oct/12
I don't think a 6 foot guy will say he was 6 foot 2 in high school. No one will believe him. Who measured him? 186cm max now. I just can't buy 6 foot for him.
Lillo Thomas said on 12/Oct/12
Jeff goldblum look 1 inch shorter in pics next to Vince . Jeff at 6-4 = 6-5 Vince . Making Will smith 6-1 tops .
James said on 12/Oct/12
Lillo Thomas says on 11/Oct/12
Vince is at least 6-4.5 and very likely 6-5 . Assuming that Vince is 6-5 , Will is looking a solid 4 shorter than Vince . Will is 6-1 max . He always look 3 inches shorter than legit 6-4 guys and 4 inches shorter than 6-5 guys .

Like i said if vince is 6'5 then jeff looked a fraction over 6'4 (a big 6ft4) which would explain why he looked several inches taller than will smith.
James said on 11/Oct/12
the shredder says on 11/Oct/12
Goldblum 6'4 Vaughn 6'5 ... James I just saw tons of photos with them and Vince looks around 1 " taller .

2cm taller yes... so if vince was 196cm then that would mean jeff was 194cm.
Lillo Thomas said on 11/Oct/12

James said on 10/Oct/12
Yeah with bad posture next too Vince will smith looks under 6ft for sure

I agree though next too guys like will Ferrell Vince looks 6'5 tops.
Lillo Thomas said on 10/Oct/12
Vince could be 6-4.5 to 6-5 . Infact he always look a good solid 4 inches taller than Will smith in pics .
James said on 10/Oct/12
You think Vince could be less than 6-5?
Lillo Thomas said on 9/Oct/12
Lol at James . You really must be a troll . Will is 6-1 tops because he is atleast 3 inches shorter than legit 6-4 guys . What part of this you don't understand ? Maybe you don't understand me because English isn't my first language ?
James said on 8/Oct/12
Lillo Thomas says on 7/Oct/12
He is at best . Lol at James . He is claiming that Jeff goldblum is taller than 6-4 flat to support his insane Will smith estimates . Will is 6-1 at best a tall wannabe guy .

If i remember right goldblum was very close too vince vaughns height in the lost world. Of course now you are going too say vince is no more than 6'3 1/2 too suppourt the will smith is 6'1 tops argument

James said on 7/Oct/12
I agree though Trent 6'2.5 is defo fudging the truth for big will. Maybe he measured himself straight out of bed or in shoes for that estimate?

I think will smith would measure in at 6'3 in basketball shoes.
James said on 7/Oct/12
Disagree about goldblum. He appeared in the late 90s too be almost as tall as 6'5 Vince Vaughn. Old age has naturally taken just about 1 inch of goldblum since he appears 192cm these days but he might have been 194cm when he was younger. Jeremy clarkson like Jeff has lost 2cm in height. Clarkson was 6'5 but is now 6'4.5.
Trent said on 6/Oct/12
Lol, people are still insisting he is as listed or even higher. Look at him coming to the eyebrows, with a half inch footwear advantage, of James Avery, who has described himself as 6'4. Look at him face-to-face with 6'2.5 listed MC Gainey and being maybe an inch above his eyebrows. Look at him looking shorter than Isiah Thomas, who is listed at 6'1. Look at at him looking shorter than 6'1 listed Brian Stokes Mitchell (with a footwear advantage!).

He is 6' even or extremely close to it give or take. To my mind there is very consistent evidence of this.

James, he appears about 3.5 inches shorter than Goldblum. Goldbum is more 6'3 - 6'4. Look at him next to 6'4 - 6'5 Jeremy Clarkson or 6' Jonathan Ross (he's actually listed at 6'1.5, but plenty of proof is provided on his page that he is, and the consensus is that he is, 6 foot).

I really think the video I posted of him with Gainey is proof enough of him being 6' even:

------------------------------------------
Click Here - Smith and Gainey both wear Timberland style boots throughout the episode (visible near in the times of the video you should check out for comparison shots). First look at 8:40 - 8:50ish. Gainey and Smith face-to-face. Anyone used to estimating height differences can see that there is around 2.5 inches between the two of them. For another comparison see 19:35 to 20:10. This should also knock out any suspicions that Gainey was really 6'4 or something, since he can be seen next to James Avery, who has described himself at 6'4.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh, and by the way, Will smith said in 1990: "I was probably 6 feet since the eighth grade. Just now am I growing into my body and able to move it and work it."

Funny how his claim went to 6'2 and then 6'2.5 as he got into Hollywood...
