David’s film ‘Naked’ was excellent and I thoroughly recommend it. It received awards, and rightly so. In fact, I’ve never seen David in anything lousy!

Though he looked 6'4 in Harry Potter he just towers most of the cast

He can easily pass as 6'3. I think he is maybe 6'2.75, and around 6'4 in shoes.

Probably has claimed 6ft2 to gain more parts, being a tall actor...but I reckon could measure nearer 6ft3

He isn't over 6'2 1/2 with Val Kilmer in The Island of Dr. Moreau because there is max 7cm between them.

I think Thewlis would usually give a taller impression than Elba because of his slender lanky frame. Elba can look all over the map at somewhere between 6'2" and 6'3" depending on the role or the way he stands.

Editor RobAt the moment I think both can seem within same range, though I do wonder if Thewlis is the one who could have lost a small fraction by his mid 50's.

🎂🎁🍻🎈 Happy Birthday David! 🎈🍻🎁🎂
A Very Happy 57th Birthday to David Thewlis. It's hard to believe that he made that award-winning film 'Naked' so long ago - when he was still in his twenties. Another two of the most noteworthy of David's films are 'The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas' and 'London Boulevard'. He was also fantastic in 'The Street'.
Yes, definitely one of my all-time favourite actors! 🏆

Rob, You should reconsider given David Thewlis the most can only be 6'2 1/2 when compare to an aging 6'5 tall actor Tom Noonan. Really 6'3 is impossible that he did not edge out a solid 189cm guy like Liev Schreiber
Click Here Only when a picture like this when Noonan lean and loose a bit posture could make Thewlis look 6'3
Click Here Again seeing this picture look 3" difference consider David Thewlis could be a bit further from camera.

Over listed. He is 6'2. Tom Noonan may not be a full 6'5 with him. Rhys is solid 6'1.5" and less footwear makes him look 1" shorter than Thewlis in thick boots that fool Rob that they're 6'2 and 6'3 individually. Denis Leary make Rhys Ifans look near 6'2 because Denis is probably weak 6'1 for quite sometimes ago since The Amazing Spider-Man.
Denis Leary peak 6'1 1/4, 6'0 3/4 now
Rhys Ifans 6'1 1/2
David Thewlis - always 6'2

One thing I read about David which certainly encouraged my liking for him was that his part playing a callous but highly intelligent brute in the film 'Naked', really upset him. I first saw it on TV, bought myself a copy, and recommended it to friends of mine, none of whom were disappointed. Not surprisingly, David won the Cannes Film Award for Best Actor.
He looks as tall as ever in the film and is mature well beyond the 27-year-old he plays. Lesley Sharpe also stars in it, playing his ex-girlfriend.
David gets 6ft3, which I don't doubt for a minute. He turns 56 next March, but I can't see him having suffered any height loss yet. Lovely man, (he has a little girl with Anna Friel), who I found starring with Brad Pitt one evening when I turned my telly on!

Rob, is 189-190cm possible?
In Gangster No. 1 he’s a little bit shorter than Bettany. He’s a bad sloucher though. He could look 6ft2 tops in some scenes but when he does stand tall he does look close to 6ft3.

I agree with listing he still looks over 6 2 always figured he was just shy of 6 3.
Personally I think he is trying to downplay his height or a nice guy he rarely stand up close and towers others.
Used to be very common to see tall extras try not to show up the big names.
He did not do this in wwoman he dwarfed lil pine if hes under 6 3 pine is less than 6 period.
Also to note an indian guy massively towered pine who is billed 6 4 ..oops off topic.

Interesting Sandy. Thewlis is a guy I'd not think of as handsome. Looks very average looking to me, though I guess he has that quirky factor, an edge which some women would find appealing.

Very tough to guess often bad posture my guess is a weak 6 3.
He has the long arms and long kneck.
I haven't seen him in anything in 10 years may have lost some.

Looks the same height as one of the 6'3" Harry Potter twins stood next to him in the back row, although the angle and shot is awkward which makes the other brother looks quite abit taller, but they look the same height range. 6'3" flat is fair as he had a good 4 inches on Brad Pitt in Seven Years in Tibet

Thewlis is in no way under 190, 188 c'mon, He a clear example of a guy in the 6'3-6'4" range. 192cm sounds about right.
Thewlis is in no way under 190, 188 c'mon, He a clear example of a guy in the 6'3-6'4" range. 192cm sounds about right.

He is slightely over 6'2 and below 6'4 so I say 6'3 and Alan Rickman is now a flat 6 foot tall.

He looked about 3 inches taller than Alan Rickman (6'1) in POA. So I'd say he's 6'4.

Thewlis is very tall and lanky. I say 6'3 1/2"-6'4". He hunches a lot.

Definitely a very big fellow! I've stood next to Alan Rickman and he really is 6'1"; in that scene others are referencing in the Potter film, Thewlis looks at LEAST several inches taller (and generally broader, too; and Rickman's not exactly delicate in build.) I would actually guess 6'4" or even John Cleese's height, 6'5".

Just saw The Omen, and he looked almost the same height when he walked next to Liev Schreiber. Maybe a little shorter, but no more than an inch.

I'd say at least 6'3.5". He looks so much taller than Gary Oldman in the Prizoner of Azkaban and in the scene where Snape and Lupin are in the corridor after catching Harry he looks a fair bit taller than Alan Rickman who is a respectable 6'1".

ever so slightly taller than Lieve Schrieber in The Omen....so yeah I'd say he's a tad over 6'3"

Are you nuts? Check out the film with him and DiCaprio (I forgot the title, but it was about two gay painters) Thewlis is no more than 6"1 1/2" max.

He was half an inch smaller than 6'3 David Morrissey in Basic Instinct 2. I think that 188cm agency listing sounds more correct.

just seen gangster no 1, theres a few scenes where hes standing next to 6'3" paul bettany, and looks marginally taller, so this is probs about right. def 192 or 193cm

at least 3 inches taller than alan rickman in harry potter. In the night scene where they stood (with radcliffe) at the corridor, Rickman's head was marginally over the top edge of the movie screen (maybe 1/2 an inch over), but thewlis' eyes was almost cut off from the screen!

Editor Rob had one little scene in kingdom of heaven beside Neeson. I think in that he may have been a little shorter than Liam, hard to say exactly

Hmm, his agency CV gives this guy 188cm. Now this does appear to be an under-listing...
