Looks as though he could gain 1/2-3/4 straightened up....and still looks 6'3 with Rob.
Definitely a honest claim, actually shortchanging himself. (maybe for acting purposes?) Very strong 6'3, no chance he dips below even at extreme low.
He would not be shorter than Matt Lillard and may even edge him out a quarter. I'd bet he's no less than 6'3 3/8. Will guess 6'3 1/2 to bring up the average guess a little which is too low. Noticeably taller than pretty much all guys Rob has listed at 6'3, except for maybe Lars Mikkelson.

Wasn't standing in perfect straight pose yet Rob's tophead already under his nosetip.
191cm is easily his low, give taller impression than even Levi did.

Editor RobWhat's interesting is that the agency also represented John Rhys Davies and he was put down as 180cm, maybe an acknowledgment about losing height.

My first impression from the photo was that he could be a 193cm guy. He is certainly as tall as the listing, if not more.

If he is dropping posture I can see him at Solid 6'3. He said 6'3, so he may be one of the rare ones that doesn't have " Height Insecurity".....which many taller people have as well oddly enough.

This is by far the most honest comment I've come across regarding a celeb. Emmett Skilton pretty much sums up the appearance vs reality situation in the entertainment industry. Most female and male celebs are below or average height. The genuinely tall women/men constitute a severe minority. Therefore, when you see a woman who's over 5ft9 or a man who's over 6ft3, they look as if they're giants. In reality, however, they're just surrounded by petite or average height folk. To reiterate, Skilton's spot on with that comment of his. Needless to say that he's of the very few celebs who's honest about his height and doesn't resort to ludicrously inflated height claims as most celebs do due to their unlimited narcissism and egocentricity.

Yeah he is a extra tall guy he's tall tall as my mum would say, I was at my my nieces christening in Germany, my mum commented on this 6'3" guy "look he's tall like you" but i'm two inches taller at 6'5!, 6'3-6'5 is the best heights in my opinion

Thanks Rob! Pretty pleased I had Lomu pretty spot on. Apart from watching him on TV I met him in person a couple of times, once when I was a kid and once when I was an adult. I remember even as a kid I was a bit underwhelmed.

By the way, how does this guy Emmett Skilton qualify for this site? Do New Zealand shows like The Almighty Johnsons have a following overseas? I just thought it was a crappy local production.

Editor Rob I think he's worth because he looks the height he claims, ok the show was small scale, but he could go onto other things.

Editor Rob to be fair to one of them, they did have health issues over the years so maybe it's best not to add him to the site and let him slide into history as being 196cm tall...

6'4.5-6'5? This is pure madness, Rampage...
You're probably under 6'3.5 if you look shorter than this! This guy actually does look shorter than the measured 6'3.5 guy! I can buy 190-191 but not over (just looking at this pic since i don't know him actually)

Editor Rob it is madness, he is what he says 191cm and seems an honest New Zealander when it comes to height - 2 other New Zealand people were at this event and both have claimed 196cm and 193cm respectively, and both made me laugh at their claims!

I'm 6ft3.5in in the evening and I'm almost certain that I don't look that tall next to a 5ft8in person unless I'm in thick heeled work boots or dress shoes. This dude clearly looks about 6ft4.5-5in.
Rob, what were his shoes like?
