I think this is listing is right, I’d guess him 5’8.75 before 5’8.25 though.I can’t see him at just a flat 5’8.

He looks 5'8 but has low body fat and is in good shape maybe 160 pounds. He is definitely not 5'9.5 I am actually 5'9.5 been measured by the doctor. Anyways a lot of guys under 5'9 claim 5'10 and 5'9 so that I can't sy I am 5'9 or people will assume I am like 5'8 LOL :)

For me, recently getting into Community, this is 1/2 inch too generous. I know Mchale wore built up shoes to appear even taller than his 6ft 3.5in height, but sometimes there is easily a heads difference between Glover and him. He has a big old head, too. I really cannot see above 5ft 8in for Glover/CG at all. 5ft 11.5in Pudi always appears taller than him, too.

@Rising: I agree with what you said. CG may be around your height if I had to guess. Looks like 5’8-5’8.5 range imho

Yeah, if Glover is 5'8.5" as he's listed, Jamie looked about how you'd expect a 5'9" guy in boots to look with Glover in flat loafers.

I think Jamie Foxx is more than 5'9 because he seems to have at least an inch on Donald Glover in this picture... unless Glover is under 5'8.5 or Jamie was wearing thick boots: Click Here:

175 cm when he stands at his tallest I think. Maybe 5'8.75, however seen him look as low as 173 cm to be honest. 5'8.5 is probably the safest mark to list him at.

I was wondering about this cuz if Han and Lando aren't too far in height it woulda been nice if he wasn't far in height with the actor playing Han although the they're much shorter actors

I just don't buy under 5'9, and he looks AT LEAST that mark. This video gives me a 5'10 vibe of Glover: Click Here
Why would his agency list him over an inch taller than what he actually is? Sure, he might not be the full 5'10 but at least in the 5'9 range. I feel like he needs a re-consideration, especially now when Solo A Star Wars Story is coming very soon, so you can compare him to Woody Harrelson and Alden Ehrenreich.

Danrook7979,
He is shorter than 5'9 in your Picture with Favreau.( Assuming Favoreau is 6'0)
5'8.25-5'8.5 is more accurate with him.

Next to Jamie Foxx who is a legit 5'9, probably 5'9.25 he looked in the 5'8 range. This listing is fair.

@Jman Garfield is slouching pretty bad in that picture, and Glover is closer to the camera. Not a great photo for judging height.

I think 5"9.5 is his height, 5"8 looks very unreasonable. In the photo with Garfield he's only an inch shorter than 5"10.5 Andrew.

Gambino is 5'8 he does videos with other short rappers people like 5'11 Frank Ocean and Isaiah Rashad are taller than 70% of other rappers and short rappers get more collabs and exposure than taller ones. Chance is almost 5'9 like Kanye West

Everything about this guy's body type screams 5'10 -- but he's 5'9..
in truth, it isn't a huge difference, but it's quite odd how people can look their height or taller/shorter

He definitely looks like a guy who's 5'8-5'9. At most he's a weak 5'9, but he could go low to 5'8

OK so here's Gambino with Aziz Ansari who's in the 160s.

That height difference between Ansari and Gambino says he's no more than a strong 5'8.
Now this is Glover with Andrew Garfield who is around 5'10-5'11.

Gambino and Garfield both have pretty bad posture here, but Garfield seems to be slouching more. Pretty sure Gambino's 5'8 max.

I wonder how tall Danny Pudi is. He's listed as 6ft but I don't think he really is. Looks more like a weak 5'11" to me. I think if that's the case Donald Glvoer is in the 174cm weak 5'9" range.

Glover is barefoot, if Fallon 1m82, I would guess he's 6 ft 1 with his shoes. It seems there is a 6 inches difference between them, so Donald musn't be taller than 5 ft 7, don't you think, Rob ?

Editor Rob I would have thought nearer 4 inch than 6 inch, he'd be at the end of Fallon's nose I feel for a 6 inch difference 🤥🤥

To me I'd guess he's a weak 5'9", maybe scrapes 5'9" out of bed.

This is wrong,Donald is like 5ft7-5ft6.Chance isnt even taller then Kanye West.How can a 5ft11 man look exactly the same height as Kanye . He must be leaning pretty low ,even then it doesnt matter his proportions and his build doesnt say tall.

I always thought he was shorter than this but I suppose it makes sense, but only a weak 5'9" I reckon. He looked shorter on community because of his tall co-stars. I think he was also mentioned to be 5'10" in an episode but that is probably his height with good shoes on.

I thought he'd be 5'8.5 as looked an easy 2-3 inches shorter than Chance the Rapper, but he was downgraded to a strong 5'10. Either way there's way more than 3 cm between them.

this is arguable with some people sadly. He looks quite tall during his live acts but the on reason he looks so tall is his build making him look beyond 5'9

He's honestly something of a chameleon, to me. I've seen him look at tall as nearly 5'10" and seen him look a weak 5'9". He strikes me as a listing where you're going to need quite a few good pictures to nail down.
