David Tennant's Height
6ft ¾ in (184.8 cm)
Scottish Actor best known for playing The Tenth Doctor in Doctor Who. He also appeared in Broadchurch/Gracepoint, Jessica Jones (as Kilgrave) and films like Fright Night, What We Did On Our Holiday and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. On a Wired autocomplete he said he was a fraction under 6ft 1. In this photo I had about 1/3rd inch more sneaker than him.
5ft 8 Rob and David @ EMS 2011
I'm 6ft 1in so that's not too bad. I'm just the right height for most girls.

Very weak 6'1
Rob doesn't list people at their low, which I bet he would fall to around 6'0 and 1/2 at best. possibly 3/8
Wakes up at maybe 6'1 and 1/4.

Ha ha! David was so nice in Doctor Who, but he’s done a perfect turnaround for his part in ‘Bad Samaritan’! I was thinking again on the lines of 6ft1 or even more until a couple of cops knocked at his door and one must have been around 6ft4. Then a doubtful-looking David stood in the road and I thought, “Rob’s got his height spot-on!”
So 6ft0.75 it is. 👌🏼
The above picture proves this to a tee. 😁👍🏼

183-184 with Mark Gatiss, unless Gatiss is on some thick footwear, but given he's 4 inch taller or so than rob with like 1 cm footwear disadvantage, i presume he's closer to 184

In recent photos with fans he doesn't seem to stand tall. My friend who is right around 5'11 thought they were the same height and by his photo with David, They didn't appear to look too far apart!

Wake up somewhere 186.5-187cm, go to bed 184.5-185cm. Decent spot compared to the toxic fake 6ft1 claimers

Thanks Rob I will investigate for future photos, if that time ever comes! It's been so long since a convention and we're not prepared to go until we're sure the photo ops are worth it, no distancing or a plastic screen.
I'm guessing you'll be waiting until you can be sure the photo ops are worth it.

Editor RobYeah I noticed MCM will have little clear plastic screen in photo ops, Starfury were recommending just doing something like back-to-back pose, but not sure about showmasters. I have nothing booked, I can hold out till 2022 😎
David can still pull of close to 185 in your shot.

No the problem with those ranges is there's only 1.9cm shrinkage between each range when for a lot of guys over six foot they'll shrink one 1 inch from out of bed to their low. I think Tennant can often look 6ft-6ft0.5 due to poor posture but will measure 6ft.0.75. I could see him being 187 out of bed and 184.5 at his low, with 185 being around his afternoon range.

D-H is too low for him...he's got too much height over 5ft11 guys and quite often can look barely shorter than 6ft2 guys

I read today that David was the runner- up in the audition for the TV series of 'Hannibal'. American TV writer Bryan Fuller, who raves about David's talant, clearly wanted an actor quite a bit taller than the Hollywood film's choice, which was Welshman Anthony Hopkins, 5ft9 peak.
6ft0.75 😁👍

I think if you measure him at 10-11am, he will be 6 ft 1 on the nose, so claiming 6 ft 1 seems perfectly reasonable. However, I feel like he could also measure 6 ft 0.5 on the nose during his extreme low too, I would not rule it out. I would rule out under 6 ft 0.5 and over 6 ft 1. He seems like a typical weak 6 ft 1 guy.

David stars as a kidnapper in a film shown on the Horror Channel from time to time entitled 'Bad Samaritan'.
I've checked my TV Guide and it isn't on next week, but when it shows again, I'll mention it on David's page for anyone who's interested. He's in similar creepy mode to how he appears in 'Des'.
6ft and three quarters of an inch.

I am shocked that people think that he is the listed height. He always looks no more than 6' to me. Of course, I could be very wrong but to me he is certainly the shortest looking 185cm guy I have ever seen. When I see him on TV I always think of him as a 5'11'' sort of guy.

He admitted to being 6ft and 3/4 and rounding it up to 6'1 in the WIRED video at 3:45. It seems Rob guessed him as a weak 6'1 correctly. Jon Hamm wasn't quite as honest tho, haha, funny, considering the two are the same height and Tennant looked to have lost hope in humanity when he claimed 6'2/6'1.5.

I've seen him up close at an event and being 6ft0.75 myself i thought it would be an interesting comparison but unfortunately he's a guy who rarely stands well which makes it difficult. Loosely walking around he looks 182-3 but on the rare incidence of him standing well he looked taller though unfortunately I wasn't near him at the time. About 6ft1 looks fair if measured.

Rob, assuming David Tennant is actually measured at 6’0.75”, how tall is the gentleman on the left? How tall is the lady (Barbara Dunkelman) the right?

Editor RobI'd expect the guy on left to be a bit shorter than David.

Revisiting this page, I change my mind slightly. At first I thought maybe 184.5 cm at most, but think he could be a solid enough 6'0.75.
Rob, I'm intrigued...David Tennant or Bobby Lashley, who would edge who from meeting both?

Editor RobTennant is still a tall guy in person, aided by a slim appearance. Gatiss in a shoe versus Tennant in a converse can make Gatiss look taller by near 3/4 inch when they appeared together.
I should also add that it was possible Tennant lost a small fraction of height for a while because he had a prolapsed disc 10 years back and had surgery.

From this picture alone, I think he would measure somewhere in between 6'0.5-6'0.75 rather than 6'0.75-6'1. You can tell someone like Ahmed Best would edge him out. 184.2-184.5 cm range I feel.

Tennant is comparatively skinny and a more light on his feet fella, but standing on his own definitely gives a quite tall impression (he was well over an inch taller than Joe flanigan that day I got this photo), but barefoot I really would say you could toss a coin over who would win it.

Part of the reason that I was able to suss who it was was, of course, his tallness! There was nothing else that gave it away but, hang on a minute.....his face was a bit of a giveaway!

Editor Rob it can give visitors an idea of what the general opinion on a height might be. Obviously it will take time to form that opinion.
It could help me identify listings that are further from the general opinion and see if I agree with the general guess.

i've met david tennant in person. i am around 5 feet and 11 inches tall with 0.5 inch shoes (5'10.5 barefoot) and he seemed to be almost my size with slightly bent posture. i think he is just about 6 feet tall.

He might get close to 6ft0½ after a long day but no less. So a weak 6ft1 is spot on and he probably scrapes 6ft1½ out of bed.

Editor Rob there is a bit more chance of shrinking an inch the greater above average you are. But, there is some variation, one guy could shrink 0.6, another 1.1, they could wake up nearly 0.5 inches apart and end the day the same height...but that's maybe the upper and lower ends, normally 0.7-0.9 is quite a common range.

I've always been confused as to why Height Challenge 2 dude looks so much taller than David. Splicing together the photos in photoshop, it looks like he had a good inch and a half at least on David, putting him at 5'11.75". Then given your shoe advantage that gives Tennant 6'0".
But it must be the photo because he looks a full 6'1" in everything I see him in.

I don't understand why people quibble about a delta of 0.5" height verses a celeb's claimed height? Especially since the posture of a person can greatly affect their actual height in a photograph. Just sayin' (not intended as a criticism). In one of my previous jobs, I was tasked to obtain dimensions of various items from photographs. Depending on the angle, lighting and resolution of the digital photos, my (very) educated estimates could vary greatly from their actual dimensions.
I'm (now) 64.5" on a good day in the MORNING, and 65.0" in high school. However at my reunion, several people commented that I must have grown taller during college because I looked much taller that they had remembered. Yes, my posture was that bad :) Another interesting data point, 2 friends said they thought I was around 67" when we got on the subject of exercising and ideal height vs. weight, etc.

Watching Day of the Doctor again it's clear Smith and Tennant are no more than an inch and a half apart. But we must also take into account Smith's boots compared to Tennant's converse. And Smith's horrible posture which is part of the 11th doctor's mannerisms.
I'd put Tennant around 6'0.5" at night and Smith a smidge above 5'11" at night. Or in other words the former is a weak 6'1" and the latter is a very weak 6'0".

I think the heights they are listed at makes perfect sense really, when you see them together. Tennant has a small but significant height advantage, I'd put it at about 1.5 inches. Obviously they can often seem around the same height, but that's because a height difference like that really isn't very big especially when you take into account footwear.

Two inches taller than Matt Smith on 50th anniversary episode. Some angles made him look 3 inches taller.

Tennant is even losing a bit of height do to his placement in the photo, and it still looks like it may be slightly more than an inch difference.

Editor Rob when tennant and smith appear in an upcoming 'Day of the Doctor' special I think they will look quite close in height - but Matt will likely have nearly 2cm footwear advantage if they are wearing their usual outfits.

Saw Tennant at the theatre. The crowd were super-close to the stage. Tennant was barefoot in some scenes, and was still taller than the rest of the cast (around 30 of them). A very striking figure and an easy 6'1". Any claims of 5'11" are ridiculous, and 6' is trying to hard to undersell him.

He certainly is a good look-a-like Rob. Although him at 6'1 range is a bit damaging for a 6'1 Tennant. Personally I do have Tennant at 6'0.5.

Editor Rob the matt smith lookalike I've seen a few times, he's about 6ft 1 range, he was nearly 2 inches taller than Matt when he got a photo with him at another con - he was in front of me/jenny...in fact he got a good back to back with Matt.

Any claim Tenant is 5'11 is BS. No 5'11 guy has towered Rob like that! Considering Rob's sneaker and looking at his eyeline I'd say Tenant's a weak 6'1.

I'm not quite seeing 6'1" from the photo. I mean, Rob's leaning in with his head, which shortens him a bit, and it still doesn't look like a 5-inch height difference.
More like 6'0".

Just a fraction under this mark. 6 ft0.75 would be better.
