If the top of someone’s head comes up to your eyebrows then it usually indicates about a 4 inch difference, so unless his eye level is over 5 inches then this guy is closer to 6’0 than 6’1.

Huh, and I thought Marcus Rashford was the only 6'1 guy of African descent who is listed 5'11 on Google. Easy 6'1 when waking up, maybe 183.5-184 is his evening height

If he really wakes up at 187 cm flat out of bed, then he should be listed at 6'1 1/4, not 6'0 3/4. Since the listed height should be his mid-day heigh. Unless he really shrinks a lot trough the day.

Editor RobI seen Ahmed a few weeks ago, I'd have still guessed almost 6ft 1 range rather than say big 6ft 1 range.

Jar Jar was actually about an inch taller than Qui Gon, but Jar Jar was CGI. Ahmad Best just supplied the voice and he is significantly shorter than the character he voiced. Jar Jar is around 6 ft.5.
Wait, wasn't he the mo-cap actor, too? I guess they can still scale up the 3D model to make him appear larger.

Rob i think its the photo angle or heel advantage cause he is looking about 5 inches taller than you here. I'd give him 6'1.25 here. But Rob is more experienced so i think he might be correct.

I agree with Dmeyer, the top of your head does come over his eyeline, like a 4 inch difference. If you say around 185 I believe it, but to me, he doesn't even look 184cm.

Editor Rob he looked in the 6ft 0.5-1 range to me so 0.75 would be close I believe.
to me he looks pretty similar to the 184cm guy both in a photo and in person.

185cm is fair but a 12cm means you should be just under his eye level while you are above it in the pics i see a 9.5cm wish means barely 6 ft

The difference between a 6'0 and 5'8 individual is somewhat huge in my opinion. For example my bro and myself. There is about the same difference in height between us.

Dude looks 185, but 184 isn't out of the question if the 184 flat (like me) height challenger can look the same height as him. Shoot, I can probably look this tall if I stand like Ahmed.

You are losing a few mm Rob with your posture (tilting forward), if you stand straight I am seeing him at exactly 184 cm (height challenge # 10 guy). However, this guy might be well over 185cm in the morning so I guess 185cm is a fair estimate for him.
