Dominic Monaghan's Height
5ft 7 (170.2 cm)
German-born English actor, best known for playing Merry in the Lord of the Rings trilogy and Charlie Pace in TV series LOST. In his early career his agency had listed him 5ft 6, although says on twitter "I'm 5'8" after saying 5ft 7. In 2014 he mentioned his weight, saying "I'm 147lbs".
5ft 8 Rob and Dominic (age 30) @ LFCC 2007
Without shoes on, I'm five foot seven. And I was the tallest Hobbit out of the three of us. Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, and Billy Boyd being just slightly smaller than me.

Rob, is there a reason this guy has gone from 5’7 - 6.5 - 6.75 and then back to 5’7? It seems rare for a listing here to go up and down like that. I thought he was dead cert to be under 5’7 when you downgraded him.
In any case, obviously he does pull off looking a bit taller in the new photo with you.

Editor RobI think if measured he would fall close to 5ft 7 in all likelihood. In person Astin looks taller than Wood, and Dom taller than both billy boyd and sean.

If he was listed at 5'6.5 on his resume, that's probably a fair mark to give him.

People, look at the top of his and Rob's head and then look at a ruler. There's at least 1.5" difference from the top of their heads. I think it's possible that he wakes up at 5'7" and is 5'6" by the end of the night. He's probably slightly over that with Rob here (5'6.5" at the most).

To be fair to Dominic, he doesn't look much under 5'7 here. Maybe 5'6.75 but no less. A guy like Jesse Eisenberg doesn't really look any taller than him with Rob (and he apparently even had more footwear)...

I gotta say this is one downgrade I wasn't expecting, but it does make sense given that his agency listed him at 5ft 6. He looks closer to 5ft 7 than 6.5 with you though Rob, would you say maybe you lost more height from tilting your head back in 2007?

Editor Rob I really don't think there is much between dominic and sean astin, though both are taller than elija and billy boyd. Sean's burlier frame can make him seem noticeably (well, near an inch) shorter than Dom.

There are countless pictures of Monaghan with Elijah Wood and Sean Astin and their relative heights vary with the footwear, but they're clearly all very close to the same height (give or take 1/4"). You can see tons of photos of his shoes as well, and he's fond of huge heeled boots, and probably lifts. No way he's taller than Wood or Astin barefoot, they're just honest about their height.

He used to say 5'6", and now goes by 5'8"?? LOL. Well, based on the photograph and the lines indicating separations between inches, he's in the 5'6.5" range in relation to Rob, so I'm guessing 169cm.

He looks two inches shorter than Rob based on eye level and forehead differences. So maybe he is more 5'6 or 5'6.5. Not very tall for a man.

Here's another ex-hobbit who is in a good deal of horrors now!
He looks just under 5ft7 pictured here with Rob. No way could he be 5ft8 - unless he has grown!
Also he looks too skinny in the face to be 10-and-a-half stone, but he could be more muscle-bound than I have pictured him to be, and we all know that muscle is weightier than fat, don't we?
I didn't know Dominic was German-born! I wonder if he speaks any or whether his parents were just there at the time!
Neither did I know he starred in the series 'Lost'! This website really does contribute to our general knowledge, which is great!

Editor Rob I'm not trying to get free photos, I willingly go to events and pay for them, so most have earned a little money.
A celebrity relies on an audience. Sometimes even on a site like this, exposure of their name and face is beneficial, even if they think I got their height wrong.
Treat it like reviews - don't take them too personally, people have different opinions on film and TV shows...with height, it's just a guess. I try to be as honest with estimating as I can, but nobody is infallible :)

Going solely from the pic, 5'7 does seem a bit generous. Rob appears an inch taller with poorer posture. P.S. Those noses couldn't be more different.

I'm not sure I get it. This guy was unknown before LOTR. He played a Hobbit. He appeared to be about 4'8". I realize that that was movie magic but his future would seem to be playing shorter guys - no? Why would he try to appear taller? George Clooney or Robert Downey Jr. or Al Pacino who in real life are about the same size as Dominic might need to appear taller but they play leads. Young Dominic here is a character actor - a fine character actor indeed - he should go after the the parts that Elisah Cook Jr. used to play.
Remember in the Maltese Falcon how Bogart dominated Cook? Bogart wasn't that big, but Cook was tiny. I could see Mr. Monaghan filling that role - a little supporting actor to make the hero look big.

And if it's fair to compare him with Elijah Wood: I've stood next to him also, and believe him to be 5'4", which adds up, since the difference between the two reliably seems to be 2". And since it is my understanding that actors usually add one or two inches to their 'official' height.

due to his long neck he can vary from 5'7 to 5'5 when really worked up, so he could seem smaller than he is, altough he definitely is taller than I expected.

As said many times before watching LOST is horrible way to figure out people's heights. They are very often on unequal ground and/or wearing unequal footwear. This is true for the entire time Dom was on the show.
A significant portion of the show happens in flashbacks, as you may or may not know. Most flashbacks are not on the island and are therefore as good as any other show for determining height. Neil Hopkins, who is supposedly 6'1, absolutely decimates Monaghan in flashback scenes. Rob here looks nearly two inches taller than Monaghan. 5'6.5 at most.

Don't unfortunately. I read an article in the newspaper which reported the finding then I googled it and found the pdf of the study which included the current heights for young Irish men along with other European nationalities.
I posted the height listings for the european countries on the Elijah Wood page I think a while back.
I think height isn't that much related to colouring (fair versus darker people). In Ireland, though we have both, I don't see any recognisable difference in height between them. I believe height difference between population groups is more down to diet and health factors.
In Ireland, we've gone from being the poor man of Europe to one the richest countries in the world in the last 15 years (we call this economic boom the Celtic Tiger), and this is likely to increase the average height due to higher standard of living. I believe we're already seeing it, my dads generation were probably 5'8 average, while the youngsters coming of age now are noticeably taller than even those of us in our late twenties.

Irishguy, do you have a link to the report? I'd always thought the Irish were known as pretty average in height (for Europe), and that in like much of British Isles you have your taller fair-haired people, and your shorter darker people? If it wasn't apparent genetic research has shown that the isles are a clear mixture of Mediterranean peoples and Northern European people.

I'm from Ireland, and we're sadly one of the shortest in Europe now (though we're not that short really). Only southern countries like (France), Italy, Spain, Greece and Portugal are shorter.
The average height of young males was measured as 5'9.8 recently. The average in the UK is roughly the same actually if not a little taller, compared to average height 5'11+ in many central and northern european countries.

Since I have actually hugged both Dom Monaghan and Elijah Wood (when their fame was less and they weren't wearing the lift shoes), I can tell for sure that Dom is more than an inch shorter than me, and Elijah more than two inches. I'm afraid I'm kind of obsessed with the question, and have concluded that Elijah is 5'4" and Dom 5'6". And in both cases, probably actually shorter. I'm 5'7" and they are *tiny* next to me.

if i can add a small remark, Dominic is a so called False 170cm guy....
in the sense that his 170cm is achieved thanks to the long neck, not thanks to his legs or body, if he had a normal neck like any of us he would be 168cm flat.
this is why onscreen he looks 168cm, his body is that of a 168cm guy but the
2 extra cm are achieved do to the longer neck but onscreen this isn't really
noticeble because you stare mostly at his body on screen (legs for example) while he is walking not his neck.
it is the body that gives the illusion of height, women with long legs you will think they are 170cm even though they are really 165cm, but men with longer neck and shorter body will look short, not tall.
this is the case with dominic. he is 170cm, but not a true 170cm.

Editor Rob a lot might still think he is that short...I originally thought he could be 171cm remember.
the lowest I'd dare argue would be 169 but 170cm considering the footwear is pretty similar and the ground flat is what I'd stick with.

indeed 169cm is the minimum for Dominic after jumping around and end of the day, but he is 170cm most of the time you see him.

Editor Rob it still puts him near to 5ft 8. You could fiddle about with 1/4 inches a lot with that lost cast.

Yep he is 5'6, Rob is slightly leaning in the pic above and my friends have taken pics with the hobbits and Dom, and he is definitely 5'6. Sean Astin and Dom are the same height. Rob change Dom to 5'6

Nice McKellen technique Rob! He does look in the 5'7" range. This is about how I look (just under 5'7"/169cm) in every picture with my dad (5'8"/173cm). Minus the goofy neck...

Yeah, 5 ft 7ish, 5 ft 7 - 5 ft 6.75, 171 sounds a bit exagerated but probably 5 ft 7.25. By the way look at that neck! He looks like a camel!

Derbi is correct, but I do believe Monaghan is both a British citizen and of British parentage. It's similar to Mel Gibson: would you consider him Australian or American (spent his first 12 years in America & has been working there for a while).

MD you have to be careful comparing Dom with Elijah, as EW is a lift wearer. I sent in a link today that should be up on Frodo's page that is very convincing on that subject. I do think Dom appears more 169cm though.

Rob have you met Dominic? Every time I see pics of him next to celebs, especially the "hobbits" he doesnt stand out as the tallest (you have Billy Boyd and Sean Astin at 5'6", and Elijah Wood at 5'5"), in fact he looks 5'6" max. I think its probably safe to bring him down to 5'6.5" for the moment- im really stillered with this guy (meaning he's listed as 5'7" but really looks 5'6" max).

I think he is 5'6 from what I have seen. Men don't seem to want to be under the 5'7 mark and usually if under lie up to this height. I think Elijah wood is more like 5'5".

Given that he gave himself 5'7" on his drivers license, this is the top of the scale. That said, he looks to have only given himself an extra inch or so, so probably more around 5'6" barefoot.

You can't judge height on a beach. She is front of him, and there is no telling how level the beach is. Sand is impossible to make an accurate height judgement on.

I argue cause, as much as I love Rob :-), I think he is sometimes resistant to give someone their true height if it goes against what is commonly reported in the media, or commonly thought. There are examples on this board where 10 people will have personal experience with a celeb and know he/she is shorter, but Rob still keeps them higher. This make no sense as this is supposed to be based on sightings, accurate info, etc. There is no reason to give Dominic a higher height based on very good evidence that would normally be exaggerated, if anything - a driver's license.

Sf, we both agree that height listing on DL’s are not always accurate. In regards to Dominic, I’m not sure why you argue over half an inch, Dominic could very well be 5’7.5” but just says 5’7” for the sake of not trying to sound vain.

Yea, Rob, I don't get your reasoning, sometimes for listing someone's height. Like the guy below, I saw the same episode of the Tonight Show where Dominic, himself, has is OWN height listed as 5'7" on his driver's license. What is your reasoning for giving him an extra half inch? This just doesn't make sense to me. People usually lie "up" in height not "down." they say they are taller, not shorter. I doubt he stated he was shorter than he was on his driver's license. Why do you give him 5'7" and 1/2?
And Leung - you lied about your height and they just accepted it. Anybody can lie about their height. Nobody ever has measured me at a drivers license station. And they don't weigh me either. I just tell them my height and weight and that's what they write down. Maybe they do in Australia, I don't know. Why would he lie and say he's shorter? No, like you, just about ANY guy would like and say he's taller...

When I was living in Queensland, Australia I got listed at 189cm on my Driver’s Licence even though I am really 180cm. So DL’s are not guaranteed to be accurate. Some of you probably wondering how I managed to get that extra height, basically when I had to get my DL renewed I went in the morning (when I’m at my tallest) and went in with my most erect posture so that I would have been around 183cm. As I stood up against the measuring chart the person renewing my licence said “you’re around 185cm right?”, to which I replied “189cm actually” and pretended to correct my posture (keep in mind that I was already standing at my best posture).
I remember on one occasion when entering a nightclub the bouncer looked at me oddly when he saw my DL and he said to me “I’m 189cm but I’m a lot taller than you!”, I then puffed out my chest and tilted my head back and pouted in a there-you-go type expression, the bouncer nodded in approval and waved me in.

If his licence is 5'7, why does he still get a listing of 5'7.5?...Personally I think he might have added on a bit there too, half the world has an incorrect height on their licence. But, if that is the most reliable source, at least drop his height on here to match it.

Man, the Tonight Show (with Jay Leno) really reveals alot...
Anyway, tonight/morning (10-8-2005) Dominic showed his Dominic showed his drivers licences on the show to show a goofy photo he took for it. While they covered up his address, his height and weight were listed. It read 5'-7" 144 pounds. Now, we all know that we can fudge stuff, but he even gave himself 5'-7". Perhaps he should be listed at that (I'm sure it's with shoes, though) since he himself disclosed it.

Weird, in this pic below he looks a clean 4 inches taller then Boyd. Boys is leaning marginally but not to explain the gap, so one or the other is lying about there heights. My guess is that Boyd is a real hobbit and wears lifts as few actors undersize themselves. I'm suspicous about Bloom too, he always has that pinhead thing going on that people who wear lifts get.
