I think he can sometimes look under 5 ft 9. In some photos of Boris and Macron together, the latter seems at least an inch taller, and he is supposed to be around 5 ft 8.

Boris is a very similar height to King Charles. Perhaps a fraction taller. He looks quite a bit taller than Charles when they're stood next to each other because Charles has much more sloping shoulders but if you ignore the height of their shoulders and just look at the top of their heads they are very close in height. If Charles is now down to five eight and a half as listed on here then Boris is around five nine.

Sometimes, I feel I’ve been a bit harsh about poor old Boris. He didn’t have the easiest time in office, what with the Covid outbreak, which he caught himself.
5ft9.25.

Boris doesn’t have good posture, even if he did, his rotund body and much excess weight make good posture difficult.
He had a rough ride in government, lets hope Liz Truss can be much firmer, especially on law and order. My London is pretty lawless.
5’ 8.5” for Boris.

Needs to be changed to former PM. Bumbling boris is 5'9 but can look shorter due to his weight and poor posture.

People were calling out the 5 ft 4 queen and 5 ft 3 Truss this morning and baffled at the listings, Liz towering over her but nearer the camera. There's also 5 ft 8 and 7 listings online. I thought about 5 ft 6 proportionally but seeing her in heels with 5 ft 6 range Sunak hard to see anything over 5 ft 5.

Rob, 5'5" might be the go for Liz Truss. Probably more likely over 5'5" than under; she can look 5'8" range with her very high heels at times.

Out of interest, Rob, what are your thoughts on the height of Liz Truss, the current Foreign Secretary and front runner to be Boris’ successor? She seemed to look slightly taller than Sunak (listed at 5’6” or 5’7” online dependant on where you look) in the head to head debates, but she often seemed to have heels on, so I’m not really sure she would be taller than Sunak barefoot. What are your thoughts, if you’ve seen anything of her?

This one needs a 'Dolly' listing - a 9.25", lol.
Definite posture guy!
Met him in person 4 times and when he stands upright, he's over 5' 9" but not over 5' 9.5"
Again, he'll start to look less soon - he's closing in on 60.
Will you adjust this please, Rob?
A 45 year-old Boris was a 'Dolly Parton' - a 5' NINE.TWO-FIVE".

Katie Hopkins recently called Rishi Sunak 5 ft 6 and that he has height issues. She said he has photos staged so he doesn't look as short. I think she's met him. He doesn't look as short as somebody like Zelenskyy but I could believe 5'6.5- 5 ft 7. Fingers crossed he won't be the new PM. I don't trust any of the candidates to be honest.

Obviously diet is a major factor too. I'd argue even more so than excercise and genetics.

@ Christian and Arch - If Boris does exercise. then he needs to change his routine. The results have yet to take effect! 😫
5ft9.
Angle - If Boris shed a few pounds, there would be less stress on his torso, which is clearly overweight. I’m sure his posture would benefit if he did shake off some weight.

He did look almost the same height as Boris in some pictures Angle, you were right on that. Boris regularly jogs and cycles. He must eat like a horse or have a bad diet as he should have lower body fat than he has the amount of exercise he does. Celeb weights was never really going to work given that they can fluctuate a lot.

Don't know if you want to add his weight, he was a 18 and a half stone when he became PM and said he had lost another stone since he was 16 and a half. I know he regularly jogs and cycles. Currently looks about 16 to me.

If he's actually 5'9 he's got terrible, terrible posture. Looks the same height as Zelenskyy in some of their photos/videos together today. He must drop near enough 2 inches.

@Rob- I guess he's even shorter than 5ft9 cause he looked shorter than 5ft9 1/2 former Prime Minster of Isreal, Benjamin Netanyahu. However, 5ft9 is possible for his peak, not today.

Cheers for your insight, Rob; 5’6”/5’7” would make sense given my Grandad’s “very small” description.
In that case, then, how tall would you guess Michael Gove, who’s stood next to him in the linked photo? I’d seen him pegged at 5’11”, but I can’t see anywhere close to that looking at that photo. What are your thoughts?

I will only say this one more time.
When standing with upright posture, Boris Johnson is more than just a flat 5' 9" guy.
He looks and is 5' 9.25"-5' 9.5" range!
So needs a 5' 9.25" listing as his low.
There is no way I was as much as 0.75" taller than him, each time we met! More like 0.25"-0.5".
Sorry, but underlistings bug me more than overlistings.
Cheers.

I've been watching Martin Lewis's Money Show and saw Boris's Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak, guesting on said programme. I thought he looked rather on the 'compact' side, and even sitting down, we could see that he's shorter than Martin's average 5ft9.
I checked out the guy's height and found 5ft7.
Do you think that this is correct, Rob?
The 41-year-old has bumped up our energy bills by 54%. With his comparatively little of life's experience, has he any right to do this? I feel he should try living on the salary of a more menial job, and NOT see fit to make it a future which, for many people, their prospects will be "Do I heat or do I eat?"
Politicians should be paid the same as any other civil servant! Then they'd think twice before deciding to charge the nation ridiculous heating costs and so on and so forth.
Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson can have 5ft9. For some strange reason, I used to think he was taller!

So we have twice the number of COVID cases compared to this time last year and suddenly the restrictions are dropped just like that. Makes sense LOL! 153,000 deaths officially, you can see the real number on the ONS website... Click Here We could have somebody much worse than Boris like Macron or Scott Morrison of course...

I think he's 5'9 and previous Prime ministers have been at least average height anyway. He does slouch a lot..then again his office is a desk job basically. His claim may have been his in shoe height, not the worst I guess. So yeah 5'9 for him.

How can this possibly be? Sir David Amess has been stabbed to death in a Methodist Church in his constituency. I'm utterly shocked and disgusted that someone's life can be wasted because he's an MP. People are paying tributes to him on the evening news now, both MPs and those who were helped by him. Everybody is singing his praises and saying what a nice, selfless man he was. Sir David was 69.
They showed a heartwarming picture of Sir David holding two pet pug dogs.
He leaves behind wife, Julia Arnold, and five children.

Hi Rob,
I last met him in 2016 and he was still 176 cm.
He's 57 now, so I imagine once he hits his early 60s, he'll be 175 cm at most.
But if you insist on leaving him at 5' 9" flat, please can you add the following at the top:
"Boris is a 'posture guy', so can appear shorter than he really is at times. 176 cm possible for his peak?"
Cheers

Rob,
I've just measured 5' 10" (177.8 cm) at 9 pm on a chilled out day - worked from home at a desk, etc.
But I fall to 177.2 cm before bed on most typical days though - so I'm a 5' 9.75" guy.
There is no way I'm close to an inch taller than Boris! It would've been noticable when we met on the 4 separate occasions.
Stood upright he really is 5' 9.25" minimum in person. On a lazy day would see 5' 9.5" quite comfortably.
Don't be fooled by the slouch!
Politics aside, 176 cm is fairest.

@ Paul 5' 9.75" & Rob - I would have to meet him to form my own opinion! I do know that one onliner of 5’8.5” has met Boris Johnson and they claim to be taller than him!
Please give Rishi Sunak a page, he’s one politician who really is missing from this site.

To Rob and Nik Ashton,
I can confirm that Boris looks 176 cm range in person.
I orginally thought he was 175 cm at best - I always measured myself as 5' 9.25" at night and 5' 10" morning height.
However, this was always on carpet / uneven surface and I was shortchanging myself as a result (see Rob's video on carpet measurements).
Boris is not as much as 0.75" shorter than me (I'm 5' 9.75" - NOT the 5' 9.25" I used to incorrectly measure).
Therefore, Boris is not a flat 5' 9". I'm 0.25-0.5" taller than him.
He really does deserve a 176 cm range listing. Don't be fooled by his posture!
5' 9.25" minimum.

I wonder what Boris thinks the UK average is and it would be interesting to know how tall he would think I am!

It would be great if Rishi Sunak was given a page on celebheights, he is the Chancellor of the Exchequer so he is therefore one of the key members of the government. Rishi is listed as 5’7” yet he is widely known for his short stature, his height is widely discussed online and offline so he is a must for celebheights! It would be great for him to be given a very precise listing on celebheights and the most accurate one possible!

Editor Robfrom people who met him, there are some who feel he has a greater chance of clearing 5ft 9 than falling under it.
I reckon 5ft 9 or a bit over may well be likelier than under it.

Some pictures at the Euro final with Beckham and Djorkovic. He looks closer to 5ft9.5 which you orginally had him at. I think his weight and posture give a smaller impression.

Rob, what would you guess Health Secretary Matt Hancock at, if you’ve ever seen any photos of him and Boris together? I think he looks around 5’11.5”-6’0” range if Boris is 5’9” as listed, but it’s hard to tell as Boris often has a strangely hunched over posture. Do you agree with my guess?

I stood and spoke to Boris for 1 minute about rugby back in year 2004. He was buying fish and chips outside Leicester's welford road rugby ground. I was 25 Boris 39/40. We were easily at eye level and I was 177cm. I can believe the claim of 176cm for him, possibly 177.3cm morning height as a young man. Very slouchy posture and 3 stone overweight.

Rob,
I'm 5' 9.75" and didn't have almost an inch on Boris! More like 0.25-0.5" tops.
The last time I met him was on Brexit Day in 2016.
He deserves 176 cm range.
But if you feel he wouldn't measure over 175 cm in 2021, maybe add a line at the top explaining;
"Boris is a 'posture guy', so can appear shorter than he really is at times. 176 cm possible for his peak?"

Red Ken is 178-9 cm in person. Easy to have a laugh with too.
I'm 177.2 cm and he had me by at least half an inch.
So, 5' 10.25" I'd say - an inch on Boris.

Rob,
This guy really is 176 cm in person.
Used to think only 175 cm, when I believed I was only 176 cm (due to my inaccurate carpet measurements).
When he stands upright he clears 175 cm, but isn't 177 cm.
1 cm less than me - I'm 177.2 cm but just round to 5' 10".

Hi Rob,
I hope you're keeping well.
Sorry to be picky, but can you give Boris 176 cm - at least as his peak height? Doubt he's lost much though at only 56.
I'm 5' 9.75" at night and he wasn't as much as 0.75" shorter than me (see my detailed response below).
5' 9.25" / 5' 9 and 3 Eighths" was more accurate when I him in person. Don't be fooled by his slouchy posture!
I last met him in 2016 and he still looked 176 cm. His 5' 10" claim is his morning height.
Cheers.

Hmmm,after looking more accurately Edi Rama has more chances to be the full 6'5 after all.A solid 3.5" taller than Stoltenberg given his bigger than average head,could even push few mms over 6'5.
Rutte is definitely nowhere near 6'4.5

He doesn't look a mm taller than Viktor Orban who got a 174 listing I would have thought 5'8.5 was perfect he also looks hardly 0.5 taller than Macron.
Some definitely need to be brought down especially Rutte,there's no way he's more than 6'3 next to 6'1.5 Stoltenberg.His 6'4.5 is very unlikely

I've never found Trump funny unless you find grade school bullying taunts to be uproarious. I would say American presidents all have huge egos but Trump has much more narcissism, lie so rampantly and express appreciably less empathy than any, in at least the times of modern media, IMO. He sure has some sort of black hole charisma that sucks a lot of folks in.

Trump is a funny guy though, he has some of those old school comedian traits. Joe Rogan has mentioned it many times. But his humour is derived from attacking others! I think you have to be highly narcisstic with some crazy traits to want to be the leader of country and that famous though.

Boris is too heavy but I wish my own father could gain a couple of stone. There's a happy, healthy medium for everyone. I think as one gets older, one needs a bit of weight to fall back on in case of illness. I don't think Boris qualifies as that old at all, but my Dad definitely does.

Isn't 210 pounds rather excessive for a fellow of Boris's height? He'd do his health an enormous favour by slowly shedding a minimum of 25 of those pounds, and seeing how he feels at 185.
It can't be easy for him and others like him, always being invited to official functions involving huge feed-ups, but Boris could benefit from the help of a nutritionist to coach him into making the right food choices at such functions. He'd feel so much more comfortable and have bags more energy as well. Having been so ill this year, it should be high on his priority list to get the very most out of his diet, which is, after all, Latin for 'way of life'.

So Rob,
Following on from my comment in June, regarding my own recent accurate height measurements (5' 9.75") - NOT 5' 9.25"; here's the first of my updated estimates based on the celebrities I have met:
I've met Boris four times now. He's my current local MP and he's visited my places of work in the past.
The 1st time was in April 2010 before the General Election, and he would've been 5' 9.25" (176 cm) absolute low height. Slouching at times, looking 5' 8.75" but 176 cm when fully upright.
2nd time was in April 2012 at work, when running for a second term as Mayor of London and he still looked 5' 9.25".
3rd time was in early 2016 at work, and he still looked 176 cm minimum.
4th time was EU Referendum Voting Day, 23 June 2016 and he still looked 176 cm.
He wore regular 1 inch shoes on each occasion.
Today though in 2020, he is starting to look 175 cm (5' 9").
He has very relaxed posture, often slouching. Stood ramrod straight for a measurement could still stretch close to 176 cm though...
So 5' 9.25" / 5' 9 and 3 Eighths" is more accurate as a peak height for him.
Cheers.

Got to say I’m no longer convinced he’s 5’9, he looks 5’8 flat at best nowadays. Posturally awful but I think that can make you give him the benefit of the doubt.

Poor Boris in intensive care now for going about his business being our PM, as his symptoms worsen. I wish him a speedy recovery. 💐
I just saw on the News that 6 bus drivers have died, more than likely caught from people as they drive the buses around. This is dreadful to hear. All so sad. 😢

I watched the PM's message to the nation* tonight, and I am going to take heed to everything he advises. No time now for being silly and taking the pee; he's a man with a big burden to carry now.
*...except that my phone thought that he was addressing the toilet. 😲🚽 It seems to have been taking lessons from my old phone!
He's getting 5ft9.

5'9 is fair for him. He has a bad posture, dont really think he cares about height. He's got more important things to worry about like.. CORONAVIRUS LOL

This morning I asked my brother whether he'd heard anything about the proposed fate of the NHS. I'm glad to say that he thinks it's just a rumour and it would never happen. 🤗 I do hope he's right. The very thought of it makes me feel in need of a doctor! 😕

Ha ha ha! I was having a text chat earlier on and the subject matter got round to Boris Johnson. I wanted to abbreviate his name when I suddenly realized that his initials are 'BJ'! Anything to do with pricks is indeed rather apt, if you ask me....
One of the reasons Britain is Great is because of its world-reknowned Health Service. Is he really planning to take that away from us? Heaven help those less fortunate than the wealthy and those who are comfortably off. There will be people suffering unnecessarily and even dying if this plan comes to fruition.

If Johnson is 5'11 that would make Donald Trump 6'3 (which we all know is fake news!).
There's at least 4 inches between them in photos.
When in public he looks pretty average and among other politicians he looks below average.
There's no way he's anywhere near 5'11. Jeremy Corbyn is 5'9 and even he seems to edge out Boris Johnson.
He could be as low as 174.

Bolton said on 12/Oct/19
He’s 55 overweight and has very bad posture. It seems to me that the 5ft 9 may have been an accurate figure some years back. I’d wonder if he has started to loose height and would trim 5ft 9 back to 5ft 8 1/2. By most modern standards he’s short for the leader of a big country. In late 2019 he’s photographed a lot next to Leo Varadaker.
There’s chat on Trump’s page comparing the US President to the Irish PM. Some excited journalists over the years have placed Varadaker as anything up to 6ft 4. In reality there’s a strong argument to say he’s 6ft 1.5. On that basis you can then look at pics of Varadaker and Johnson. There seems in many of the pics at least a 5 inch difference in height. When they are caught at or near lecterns and quite close with no obvious variations in camera angles or chance of uneven ground etc Johnson’s eye line seems around Varadaker’s chin.

I think they all inflate their heights. Rory Stewart claims 5'8" but looks at least an inch shorter. Boris is closer to 5'8" I think. Bad posture, I accept. At least one profile describes Dominic Raab as a "half pint". He looks about 5'9".

Yes, strange, but true though, like quite a lot of things in life! He was one of the front runners as well!
I worked in local government for 17 1/2 years but I was made redundant in 2013. I never really liked the meetings and I certainly dreaded the idea of being nominated to do the minutes for the meetings, I was never really interested in the political side of things and was more focused on my own job as it did not involve anything like this!
So "Emmerdale" is just starting with a mirror, Laura Norton, and Lesley Dunlop, on my screen. Have a great evening Sandy!

I agree with what you said on New Year's Eve, there are so many members of a government, many decisions are made solely by other MP's, many are made by the Prime Minister in conjunction with a particular MP, and even though many decisions are made by the PM on his/her own the party values and the job description of the PM have to be adhered to, even on occasions where the PM may think differently. I know when I worked in Local Government that people would say that the same is true about the jobs of the Chief Officers!

Comparing him with celebrities of a 'known height', he does look 175 cm. And he looked 5' 9" on the button this time I saw him. In fact, with very loose posture he gave an even shorter impression.
He was 46 when I first met him and 50 now. I doubt he's shed half an inch in those years!

Comparing him with celebrities of a 'known height', he does look 175 cm. And he looked 5' 9" on the button this time I saw him. In fact, with very loose posture he gave an even shorter impression.

Editor Rob yeah 5ft 9 can work for him

Editor Rob maybe he just always been in 5ft 9 range, or surely he's not losing height...

Boris looks a weak 5ft9 next to 5ft10.5 Jimmy Carr Click Here
I think 175cm, maybe 176cm at peak.

I passed him on the street in London and he was so much shorter than I thought he'd be that it stopped me in my tracks....I'd say 5 ft 9 is very generous

There's a picture in the daily mail stood next to a 90s Toyota Previa people Carrier he looks roughtly the same height with shoes on. The model is maximum 5ft 10.5 so looks like the listing is spot on.

Not true that he is short. The absolute lowest he is, is 176 cm. Obviously, his posture is sometimes horrendous - giving him a shorter impression...

I met him on the Southbank in the summer and had a photo with him. I was surprised at how short he is. He is certainly shorter than 5ft 9.5 that you list him here.

Sebastian coe is 5ft9 and Boris is a little taller than Seb i noticed as well. So Boris could be 5ft10.
I thought Seb was around 5ft8, then 5ft9 for boris would be ok, but cos Seb is in fact not so short, boris could be a little taller.

I agree Cliff, i always imagined him as pretty tall, due to his lifestyle and all.

I always imagined Boris was a taller than average type guy mainly because he is larger than life character. Then i saw him next to Sebastian Coe and Boris appeared slightly taller.
That is when i realized Boris is not a tall guy. I had thought of him as about 5 foot 9.

I met Boris, and he was an inch taller than me. I'm 1.75, or 5'9". I'm also a regular contributor to this site. Boris should definitely be upgraded to 1.78, or 5'10".

Hey Rob, I think Boris appeared closer to 5' 10" than 5' 9" actually... just been randomly tagged in another photo from when I met him.
5' 9.75" is fairer.
Cheers.
