He can pull off 5'8 in films but he is skinny so that helps you look taller.

Looks 1.5 inches shorter than 5'9 Hardy. I'm going with 5'7.5. Rob, can you add Oppenheimer to his credits.

Cillian makes the most of himself and his stature by wearing smart clothes.
Possibly a weak 5ft8, so I’m giving him 5ft7.75.

I think he generally looks close to 5'8 but sometimes looks 5'7.5. He's gonna be 5'7.5-5'7.75 range

@Most Legit 6'3 that's because he's so cool, our brain simply can't think he looks UP to most dudes. But if you actually look carefully you realize he's indeed below average, shorter than his on-screen partner for example.

5’6.5” is wildly low for Murphy. He’s a bit under average without being short IMO. There’s a lot stuff with him and Tom Hardy whose a solid and honest 5’9” and Murphy convinces me as a weak 5’8” guy near him: Click Here

rob i need ur help to understand cillian's height bc is becoming completely unsolved i couldn't have a perfect guess. With Barry Kheogan they are exactly the same height, if there is a difference is nothing more than 0,5cm and it will be add to Cillian. Barry has a pic with Kumail Nanjiani where they are training and kumail is barefoot and barry has 2.7/3cm shoes and he still looks smaller by 1cm. Since Kumail is legit 5.8.5 (174cm) this will put Barry exactly 5'7 not even a mm more. The problem is, in pics barry and cillian are the same height i couldn't see a difference so cillian would be max 170.5cm. Seems solved the problem but it's not, why? Bc u Rob have a pic with Andrew Scott and he is listed as 172.7cm, and Andrew Scott with Cillian Murphy is taller but nothing more than half an inch, and this put Cillian as 171.5cm. 170.5cm or 171.5cm? btw, im talking about end of the day height, since ur lowest height is 173cm and andrew scott is basically only 0,5cm smaller than u and i am using that photo as a reference. Give me ur opinion Rob

hi rob, when u do your opinion about celebrities heights u do it flat, like without shoe advantage? for example, cillian is listed like a 5'8 guy, with shoes he will be probably 5'9 and 5'9 isn't small at all, and he doesn't look 5'9 in groups pics. But, if u are considering him a 5'8 with shoes, he is 5'7 flat, which seems a more legit height

Standing side by side, looked about an inch shorter than 5'8" Mark Rylance (who in turn looked an inch shorter than 5'9" Tom Hardy) so 5'7" is about right.

A height this exact seems strange. . . I'm allegedly the exact same height as him (5'8¼" in the morning, 5'7½" in the night, averaging 5'7⅞". But it changes so much throughout the day, that it seems fruitless to have it down to eighths of an inch. I'd just give him 7.5 or 8 tbh.

Shouldn't he be 5 foot 8? You have listed some weak 5 foot 7/ 5 foot 8 men as the whole number and not as a fraction. You said neymar (at his low), dips to 172.5 (you said this in a comment) yet he is listed at 5 foot 8. So cillian should be around there to (this is way too accurate/marginal to know). All the way to 5'7.75" should be listed as a weak 5'8" I believe.
I believe a weak 5'8" is the lowest you can be while still being considered low average. Agree??

0.75 (¾) listings: 106.
So 10.4% of entries on Celebheights are listed with conventional fractions.
Almost 90% of the entries are listed on whole inches.
As for fractions like 1/8ths.
4 are listed at ⅛ listings
7 at ⅜ listings
7 at ⅝ listings
8 at ⅞ listings
26 out of 10500 entries have been given 1/8th entries.

He usually seems about a big 5'7. 5'7.5-5'7.75. He's a terrific actor, and I love his work, but that's the absolute most I can give him. And I get it, the roles he gets are usually meant to be confident, intimidating figures, so height's a bit of an obstacle for him. I get the incentive to lie. If he was six foot, he would be king of the world. Rob, what are the chances of you meeting him?

He’s 41 years old doesn’t look it and Tom hardy and him are practically the same height range but Tom clearly edges him out I think Cillian Murphy is the best actor and most intimidating 5’8” man you’ll come across

So, ignore Harry here in his ridiculous boots or lifts or whatever in the hell he's wearing, but looks how short he looks if you draw a line from 5'9ish Fionn Whitehead and Kenneth Branaugh:

A flat 5'8" just seems like so much for him.

Sam Neill is very significantly taller than Murphy in Peaky Blinders, to the point where he leans over to speak to him. I'd say Murphy is about 4 inches shorter, so I am giving him at 5'7''.

Yes, 5ft8 would seem very likely for Cillian! I've seen him in lots of things and therefore had many chances to compare him with a fair few others!
If I had to round him up or down, I would have to go downwards, but until I see the proof with my own eyes, he will get 5ft8! 📺 👀👀

A true 172.5cm slim man will look average sometimes, but Cillian has always looked shorter than this to me. Throughout Inception, he always appeared well short of Hardy and JGL, but in the 2nd level dream scene with Leo, he actually looks average...because he was clearly wearing lifts for that scene, just like JGL was clearly wearing lifts for the "You've gotta dream a little bigger" scene where he was nearly eye to eye with Leo.
This GIF is hilarious: barely 5'7, not quite 5'8, and just shy of 5'9 trio in a row! Click Here

He's the same height as Neve Campbell - they played the male/female versions of each other in a play in London. Neve Campbell says she's 5'5" on some websites and 5'7" in others, but that is also false. She's an ex-ballerina and is super short (~5"). The stuff they post online is all made up!

realize every other site listed him as 5'9...5'6 is a bit a stretch, considering the fact that only the people with actual PICTURES or celebrities are the one standing next to him, and he looks about 5'9. In On the Edge and 28 Days later, Cillian was taller than Jonathan Jackson and Naomi Harris who are both 5'8. He also stood taller than Elizabeth Olsen and theyre both barefoot, I believe shes listed as 5'7

Tyler, Murphy has ankle boots with thick soles in those shots. To my mind, ankle boots with suit in the red carpet equals lifts. The only reason for those sorts of boots, a la Simon Cowell and Tom Cruise is to conceal lifts. Cillian is 5' 6". Which is nothing to be ashamed about, he's an actor not a basketball player.

It is quite all right, Tyler, you tried-hence, be not down trodden. Regardless of height: Cillian Murphy is in possession of one of the most luminous and photogenic faces ever seen. Further, what a gifted actor he continually proves himself to be. Still, impossible to see him as below 173cm- Notice him in numerous other stills, as well as in his films. It is possible he may be completely unconcerned with height, for his carriage is ever-changing and remarkably versatile. In many stills he seems to almost diminish into himself, as if to void himself of space. It is a very endearing quality and skill,
portraying a rather humble mannerism; I find it prominent in many of his stills. However, in others, he portrays height and commands great space-with seemingly little effort. The camera loves this man, perhaps it is the confidence of being an 'Irish' man-yes, this I think it to be. As such, it is all good-as he unwittingly conveys himself to be nigh 193cm.
Interesting supposition on here regarding 'owning' one who may be less tall than another. Find it difficult to believe Mr. Murphy believes himself to be owned by anyone at all.....lol. Peace to all~

Tyler. We have all seen celebs tiptoeing in photo shoots, knowing full weel that for head and chest shoots nobody will seecwhat's going on. Comparison shoots have to be full length with feet visible. All the people who have seen him in real life are estimating 5' 6". If you want to prove his height with photos, you have to get full length with feet shots. Shoulders and head prooves nothing.

Saw him in Covent Garden two years ago. He is TINY, built like a teenage boy. Five six tops and I'm being generous. I could see clean over the top of his head. Same with James McAvoy; seen him twice and he's a similar build and height to Murphy.

Tyler, when you stand next to him I'll give you the benefit of your five foot eight, but he's not. My husband's shoes are flat leather. I said you can give him an inch for the shoes if you'd like but the shoes are pretty much flat. I've just looked at the heel and it's barely anything. It certainly doesn't make him noticably taller when he puts them on. I'm not sure why you're so solid on your number because there are many, many people who have actually stood shoulder to shoulder with him and they disagree entirely. Joe, would've got a picture only the theatre managers told us we weren't allowed to take them. Wouldn't have had the nerve to ask, most likely, but he's not five foot eight. Like I said, I'd say he's barely five seven if I'm being honest.

You say your husband was wearing 1" shoes, and had 3 OR 4 inches on him? That makes Cillian 5'8". You're husband is 5'11" in shoes, and Cillian was in shoes with no heel, that means there's a 3" difference between them. 11 - 3 = 8.

Well they need a downgrade, then, Tyler. I was wearing flat shoes and so was Mr Murphy. I reached his nose. Now are you telling me that the distance between his nose and the top of his head is 7 inches? It's not. When I say my husband owned him, he had at least three or four inches on him. He was wearing flat leather shoes, give him say an inch due to the shoes, if that. You're looking at photographs where you can't tell the angle, the proper shoes of the celebrities and whether or not they're standing properly upright. I stood right next to him. So did my husband. I'd say he's 5'7 at best. And that's being generous.

@DrJJ I was looking at Seyfried. You say Cillian was only 2" taller than her in 3" heels, yet Justin only has 4" on Cillian. Which means he is 6" taller than her in heels, but take away the one inch to his shoes, and that puts Justin at 5'10", yet he is listed at nearly 6'0" on here. Maybe Seyfried is taller than people think?

Tyler, the point of reference in these pictures should be Seyfried, and she is definitely putting Murphy in the sub 5' 7" range. I would be happy with 5' 6.5", would even give him 5' 7" at full stretch, but I cannot see taller. Not because of these pictures per se, but because I've been stood next to him in real life and I was taller. My average height barefoot is 174cm, I could have been a bit taller as I'd not long been out of the swimming pool after 1.5 hours training. I was wearing a pair of Loake shoes with about 2.5cm, so let's say 177cm all in all. He was wearing trendy shoes with a low heel, bit less than mine. I was noticeably taller. I would say barefoot I have a couple of inches on him.

@DrJJ @Rob Perhaps Justin was wearing lifts? It just seems unlikely that he'd be under 5'8". I've shown a lot of proof showing he's closer to 5'9".

Rob, I think you have to reconsider this one. Please look at the premiere pictures of In Time. He is clearly 5" shorter than Justin Timberlake, believed to be 5'11". More tellingly, he only has 1.5"-2" on Amanda Seyfried who has a 2"-2.5" heel advantage. She is listed at 5'2" on this site. That puts Murphy at 5' 6.5" tops. You cannot have it both ways Rob. Either Murphy is a good bit shorter than you say or both Timberlake and Seyfried are a couple of inches taller. Whichever way around it is, somebody needs their entry adjusted. ps I knew my proof would come along sooner or later..

Ok, well what about the first photo with them in the elevator? Her shoes gave her a 2"+ boost, while Cillian's shoes only gave him like an inch. While he's closer to the camera, her head is raised. If she truly is 5'9", that means she's 5'11" or perhaps 5'11.5" (which I doubt) in those shoes. And if Cillian was only 5'8" than he would be 5'9" in those dress shoes, which means there should be a 2" difference between them, but if her head wasn't raised, I'd assume there would only be an inch difference. I'm just asking since you don't think he's 5'9", how would you explain it Rob?

What actors of 5'7" or 5'8" is he taller than? Are they actually the height they claim? I spent 2 years measuring peoples heights, weights etc.. Day in day out. For official statutory medicals. I've seen Cillian Murphy in real life, he was 1 foot away. I also know what somebody who is 5'8" or 5'7" or 6'0" looks like. He was 5'6". Tops. Lets see how tall he is when (and if) pictured with Rob.

Lets see how tall he is when (and if) pictured with Rob.

Its more reasonable that he's above 5'8, considering the fact that he's taller than every other actors who are 5'7 or 5'8.

saw cillian at the inception premiere in la, he's 5'9, I'm quite sure, considering the fact that I'm 5'7.5 and he stood taller than me. Ill post the pic soon

The difference between 5'5" and 5'7" is 5'6" - which is Cillian's height. Which, in the context of this thread, is indeed significant.

Sorry for the late response, but yes absolutely true. He was waiting for someone at the bar, and I got rather geekily excited for having spotted him. I'm pretty sure I'm 5'8" and was genuinely surprised by his short stature. He's 5'7.5" absolute tops if I'm being generous - love his work.

Terminator mode, they call it!
The Big T is 6'5"....... So to him 5'6", 5'8" ..... Its all such a long way down he just can't make a decent estimate. Plus he doesn't want a fellow Irishman dissed on the web. Ddi's picture post just about confirms 5'6" for Murphy when you compare him to the rest of the cast and cross reference their stats on this site ( either that or Murphy is the only one who didn't stand on the step during the photo!!!)

Wow DrJJ, you're still going strong! Lol! So the accounts by The Big T and ddi are not unbiased estimates? You disregarded them so easily.
If you're that convinced the guy is 5' 6", nothing anyone says will change your mind.
The current estimate listed on the site seems fair.

Just watched Inception. Tom Hardy is noticably taller Murphy. Now go to the Tom Hardy thread on this site. More proof of CM's diminuitive stature/height.

No Keiko isn't 5'5 but that doesn't make Cillian Murphy 5'5, I'm guessing he's at least 5'8, considering the fact that she is 5'4 and 3/4 in that picture

G7490-I saw Cillian in person and have a pic with him, I believe my friend sinless posted it on before, I am almost 164cm, Cillian is by no chance 170cm, I'm guessing he is at least 173cm but I'm quite sure he's taller, hope that helps =)
Then you're NOT 5'5"- HA! I was right!!!!

That picture is baloney! The height difference is around 15cm in that image making Murphy 179cm, which he clearly cannot be when seen in comparison to Dicaprio et al. If you look carefully two things can be noted. Firstly, we cannot see their feet, it is not a full length body shot, so is inherently worthless for comparative analysis. He could be standing on something. Or, which is the second point of note, she could be flexing her knees, thereby lowering her height significantly (and thereby boosting his). She is clearly a fan of his. Look closely at the bottom edge of the pic and the angle of her thighs. She is crouching down. This is a trick shot!

At last! Somebody prepared to give an unbiased estimate. Spot on PM, he really is shockingly small in real life is he not? The problem with this site isthat it is jam packed with fans and public relations reps who try to distort what is being said on the threads.
I think the last picture link posted says it all. He is a good 5-6 inches shorter than Dicaprio, probably more, but we'll let him off with an inch or so for slouching and position a bit forward in the line up. Still cannot be more than 5'6". How much more evidence is needed? For Rob to be pictured with him? Maybe that is the only way!

"PM" is that true? Are you sure about your own height?
If this guy is right so there won't be anymore doubts of Cillian's height, and probably he will be at 5'7" or 5'7.5"

Visit the above gallery and see Cillian's pictures with Joseph Gordon-levitt and Leo. That explains it all.. I think 5'8 is about it .

I stood near him at a Grizzly Bear gig and was surprised at how short he was. I'm 5'8" and I was definitely taller than him

5'6 is stretching it too much, he's clearly taller than 5'5 Rachel Mcadams and he looks almost as tall as 5'10 Joseph G. Levitt in Inception. 5'8-5'9 sound accurate

Look at bk's post from 9 July. The pic with Dicaprio et al. He's clearly 6 inches shorter. 5'6" tops. Probably less.

looks 5'9 in inception next to 6 foot dicaprio, only because of his hair style tho, id say hes a good 5'8.

Not quite sure how tall he is, but he's by no chance 5'6, he's taller than Keira Knightley who I've met in person, she looked about 5'10 but she was in heels making her at least 5'7.

Yes, I agree, which is why is why I'm surprised. Since, height appears to be so important in the world of the silver screen, I think we should have random height checks just like athletes have dope checks. And btw, "anonymous", how hard is it to tap in a few leyters and give yourself a uset name?

More concete evidence needed in this one I think. My main point of reference on Cilian Murphy is not my projected height for him from the Sanada pics, but rather having walked past him on a quiet backstreet in London. I can't believe my estimation of another person's height, a person who is in my presence, who's reflection I can see along with my own in an office window (mirror finish, plate glass, minimal distortion if any) is so so wrong. This is someone who is clearly shorter than me from what I saw. I started to doubt my own height, so I got several colleagues to measure me at work to make sure I wasn't a good bit taller than I thought. But no, came back ad 173.5cm every time on every piece of apparatus in the health centre. Maybe I'm wrong, but I cannot see how at the moment. 5'6" Cilian Murphy!

Many people who see him swear by 5'6 tops.
I just don't get it....he always looks so much taller. Look at him near Colin Farrell, for example.

I saw him in Covent Garden on Friday 19th June and almost fainted! I'm five nine and could see clean over the top of his head. He is tiny and slim, looks like a teenage boy in person. There is no way he is over five six!

I love how you say toward I don't think that you tower over some one until they come up to your mouth or lower. If they are above mouth then you are just taller then them, but do not tower. Someone who is 5'10 does not tower over someone who is 5'6 because they still come up above there mouth. For example someone who is 5'8 is not toward over by someone unless they person is like 6'2+.

Any time I have seen him in a movie, I can't help but notice how short his arms are. His proportions look itsy bitsy. I place him at 5'6"-5'7".
