Aidan Turner's Height
5ft 10 ½ (179.1 cm)
Irish Actor best known for Poldark, playing Mitchell on the original British Supernatural drama Being Human and as Kili in The Hobbit Trilogy.
5ft 8 Rob and Aidan @ LFCC 2010
"How tall are you when you’re not a dwarf?"
I’m not the tallest by any means, Jimmy Nesbitt is 6 foot, Graham McTavish is 6ft 2. I’m about 5ft 11. Peter’s not casting the actors for scale, there’s a lot of tricks they use, like other actors could be standing on a box, using different sized props, or walking while we’re in a dug out trench. Sometimes Gandalf is just closer to the foreground, while we’re in the background and its hard to tell where the level plateau is. Other times its more complicated, they use a technique called ‘slave motion control’ which uses multiple different cameras on the same set which pushes everything onto one image.

Please Rob, look again at Aidan and Lee Pace side by side: Click Here Click Here
I can't believe Aidan can be less than 180 cm tall. Rob, he deserves at least 5ft 10.75.

Editor Roblike I say I didn't think he looked less than 179 range last time so maybe it's not impossible he could measure 10.75.

If Lee Pace really is 6ft 4, Turner looked like an easy 181cm guy next to him. Rob, take a look at their 2014 photos together: Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
I can't see the 14 cm difference between them. Maybe Aidan is honest when he says 5ft 11?

Editor Roblast time I seen Aidan I thought he was no less than 179, he sometimes does seem near 5ft 11 with others.

No way is he 5'10"+, more like 5'8"-5'9". Check out his honeymoon pics in Italy.

Rob, maybe a weak 5ft11?
The ‘about 5ft11’ suggests maybe he measured near it. Looks safely over 5ft10, enough to pass for 5ft11.

Did this guy get a 1/8 inch upgrade for each time you met him, Rob? 😁
I thought you said he's pretty much Josh's height twin in person (not that Josh is far off 5'10.5)...

Editor Robwell I saw him up close again and I wouldn't have guessed him under 5ft 10.5.

That means that there's a good chance for Aidan to have met Stephen Fry, who was in the next two Hobbit films.
At 5ft10.5, Aidan is a solid height, bordering on tall, but next to Stephen, not too many guys look tall! Jeremy Clarkson can hold his own next to Stephen, and he was in the last QI I saw, on the Dave channel.
5ft10.5 it is then! 😁👍

I’d say 179cm- wakes up at 5’10.875” (180cm) and ends the day at 5’10.25” (178.4cm). 5’10.5” is a more accurate claim but I’m not opposed to him saying he’s almost 5’11”.

Editor RobNot convinced he's as tall as he thinks, 6ft 1.5-2 might be more believable.

Probably around 5'10" and 3/4. Looks like he's slouching a bit.

He’s clearly slouching. Look at his hunched shoulders. 5’11 seems right.

he seem to lose height by his neck no ? Aïdan is a little more distant to the camera than Rob and Jenny and so tilt a lot to try to be at the same distance imo.I maybe can give him up to 5"10.5'

This guy is great on Poldark and in the Hobbit Movies and imo this is a bad picture of him he is much more handsome then this. Looking at this pick though 5'10.25 is the max he could be.

Any change of him Measuring the same as Fassbender he does seem one of those 179cm guys who can easily look it but not above I think he would measure 5"10 3/4 on a good day.

Re. Aidan Turner aka 'Poldark': Against Editor Rob I would state at most 5' 10.5". With his chiseled torso, which the ladies particularly like, he might have gained say 1/4" from the weight training I guessed he did for his TV role.

Well. Next to Rob this so-called 6 footer is in perspective. Honestly, watched all of Poldark first season and next to kyle sollar(who I thought was 178) I had 183.

Can look anywhere from 5'10 to 5'10.5, so 5'10.25 is pretty accurate!

I think 5'10.5" seems right for Turner - he has a long torso so can "
look tall" - if he had the in proportion length of leg he'd have hit 6' but his legs, though slim, are just an inch or so under right proportion for chest and torso. So I'm guessing he's just under 5'11" but looks 5'11".

Unless you're next to him, he's one of those guys who looks taller than he is onscreen because he is well proportioned with long enough legs under a slightly longer torso. It makes for a long, lean look. Watching Being Human, I'd have put him at 5'11"-6'0", but wouldn't be at all surprised to find out in the flesh that he's really 5'10 plus a bit. And where I do agree with Jackie is that he is a sultry darling . . . :)

Oh my word, he is so Gorgeous. I actually thought he was smaller as in Being Human,in one scene he is stood next to "Nina" and she is tiny..he didn't look too much taller than her. It may have been a bad angle!

How does he look 180cm? That is not a 3 inch gap in the pic more like 1.5-2 inches so i think he looks 5'9.75 with rob.

Editor Rob 5ft 11 is his 'official height' on his resume, but I didn't think he was.
he looked shorter than Kristanna Loken to me, who looked 179cm (of course she had nearly 0.5 inch less shoe so her 5ft 11 claim is more beleivable).
oh, and Brian Austin Green looked taller than Aiden in person...
