You wouldn’t think Eddie was a comedian if you saw him in Hanniball; you’d think he’s a ghoul!
5ft7.

He was amazing in 'Hannibal'; something I'd never realised before - that he can act so well. I hear he's really clever with languages as well!
Eddie looked around 5ft7 in 'Hannibal', fairly diminutive next to Mads Mikkelsen.

Wow, I never thought Eddie Izzard would actually be on the short side but makes kinda sense. I always thought Eddie would be more like 175-180cm range.

In Hannibal, he looks like a solid 5'5, 5'6. I can't see him at 5'7.

I was at prep school with Edwin Izzard and his slightly elder brother Mark. Their father often used to come and watch them play football, though neither of them excelled, and he was tiny, probably shorter than Ronnie Corbett.
There was a clip of father and son at the De la Warr pavilion at Bexhill a few years back, and Izzard junior looked about 4 inches taller than his dad.
Not very scientific, I know.

It looks like even 5'7" would a stretch in that photo with George Clooney, unless Clooney's actually 5'10.75" (not entirely convinced).

He's taller than I expected. He looks positively tiny in Ocean's, and also in My Super Ex.

Tom Cruise is famous for wearing lifts in his shoes, so he and Eddie Izzard probably are the same height barefoot.

I walked past Eddie Izzard in Auckland (New Zealand)this afternoon. Wearing a bit of eyeliner he otherwise looked like he had just been to the gym and he was barefoot [bet you don't get many of those sightings on this site]; probably a curative for wearing all those high-heels. Anyway, he appeared to be around 5'6", maybe 5'7" at most (I'm 5'10").

I actually met Eddie Izzard last night walking out of a John Cleese gig and I've just argued with a work mate about his height, hence me finding this website. Eddie was about the same height as me : 5ft 7 and a half.

He said so himself that he's 5' 7 on the Paul O'Grady show when they were talking about Valkyrie and what is tom cruise like in person (the question of how tall tom cruise is came up)
Also in the vid Eddie appears to be wearing large heeled boots with maybe even lifts in them. I remember he wore 4 inch heels when he was on Craig Kilborn's show during an interview and you can tell the height difference there too - Click Here

It's weird, because when I first developed an unhealthy interest in his height, the figure that sprung to mind was exactly 170 cm (and I've always thought I was crap at telling how tall someone is). Well, now I know that when I run up to him to get a little pick-me-up, I am physically able to rest my head on his shoulder (points to head: In my mind!).

I dunno about this 5'7.5'' listing for him b/c on ''my super-ex girlfriend'' Eddie plays the ''villian'' Dr.Barnaby and he looks 5'6'' at best. Rob, what's your opinion?
