How tall is Ian Somerhalder

Never rule out the chance that a hospital or doctor measurement is erroneous. If you are able to measure yourself confidently at home using a tape measure, then go with that figure.

Whilst I think he's sometimes worn a decent heeled boot, I'm not so sure he's a guy like Colton Haynes, who admitted to sometimes wearing lifts.

A chance, though I think a decent 176m is fair for him.

I think sometimes a larger heel on his boot, whether he has anything in them is debatable...

he might still hold onto that 176 mark through to dinner.

nothing dodgy, just a fraction more sneaker.

Tricky to tell, but he can use boots to look taller than you'd expect.

5ft 9.5 would be the most I'd estimate.

In person the last time I seen him he looked near 5ft 9.5 I felt, but with more boot I think 9.25 is a fair listing.

With many other actors he has managed to look near 177 at times.

I think it is too hard to spot half inch lifts, especially if a jean/trouser is covering a lot of the boot.

5ft 9.25 or 9.5 is arguable for him

He could seem over 2 inches smaller, but then I don't know footwear or whether Ian might gain a better posture.

I think back in 2002 - Click Here - he had early signs of slow recession.

I'm sure like many actors he has little tricks to enhance his appearance - a buzz cutt would be the worst hairstyle Ian could wear!

But whether he enhances his height with a small lift...I wouldn't discount the idea entirely, though I think he also worked on his physique since his Lost days, so he can walk/stand comfortably near measured height without straining...

Close to that, although a chance of between 9.2-9.4 range too.

Of course, it's a great honour to share a brief moment with me 🤗

unless he wears lifts, he's got to be taller than that...

well, it's not impossible for actors to wear lifts.

If I ever wore elevator shoes, you would know, I'd be looking 5ft 10!

Ian I think has at times worn a little thick heel which makes him look near 5ft 10...he has worked on his physique and posture, and holds himself near his 'measured height', so I think if you put him next to Swift - both barefeet - you might think 'Hold on a a minute, this guy looks taller than Taylor!'

well my Dad used to be 5ft 10, actually he claims 5ft 9.75 the few times height came up because that was one of his army measurements. I measured him once near 5ft 10 See him here. That's usually how he looked in his prime.

Compared to Somerhalder, my 'peak height' Father was comfortably taller than Ian, but now is comfortably shorter at about 5ft 8.5 aged 81.

a visitor had said Ian claimed 5ft 9 over 10 years ago, but I don't know if he has upped his claim.

he has a fraction more footwear than me, but looked about 5ft 9.5 hence I give him 9.25 range.

There's a posture swing, he is dropping a bit in old photo and I'm not as tall in the top.

unless he wears lifts, he can pull off looking over 5ft 9...

it's easy though to wear a half inch insert and nobody can tell, only when it's 1-1.5 inch lift, will the lace section look more 'bulging'. Under an inch, it can be trickier to spot.

Hardy can look taller than Ian...but I think both Ian/Tom are possibly going to measure taller than Shia.

unless he has a wee lift Gary, I think he's got to be 176 range, I wouldn't go lower.

Trevino is very near 5ft 8, Ian in person looks a bit more than 5ft 9.
Of course knowing if Ian has lifts is trickier - it didn't seem the case, but a half inch or 3/4 inch lift is very hard to detect.

he might look a bit taller as he likes to wear hats! But if you have thick hairstyle that is near an inch, you might appear a bit taller in a photo with similar shoes.

actually, I am not a fan of hats in photoshoots with fans. At least we're not in an era in which top hats were in fashion!

in the double shot a fraction more than me.

I would be surprised if he dropped under 5ft 9.

I mentioned in a comment recently about sneaky lifts, these are the kind that are only 1cm but give people a boost that suddenly makes them just that bit higher. Is Ian one of those guys, I don't know!

probably very similar.

assuming the guy has no small lift then 176 afternoon-evening I'd give him.

if I could have seen the email it would have been great.

no he was still 5ft 9 that day, the other time more recently he did look over 5ft 9, but a slightly thicker boot. I really wouldn't go under 176cm for him

all heights are barefeet.

with Ian at times he can pull off looking nearer 5ft 10...bateman I doubt is under 6ft 2 himself though.

the average is only a bit over 9 inches.

8.8 is about 1/3rd inch under average, so not much.

compared to 10-11 years ago his hair appears thicker in last few years. I've no idea about HT, but I do think a lot of actors will be on Finasteride...heck, I could be doing with it myself as I'm thinning slowly!

ian has good posture. He may well have at times worn small lift

I think he's been getting some help in a few departments, but he's an actor and image is huge for a guy like him, I think he has managed to improve his look from when he was about 20 to his 30's. Better physique, 'thicker hair' and can at times pull off nearly 5ft 10 with people. I looked at his footwear just this year at events and to me he might fall into that less obvious category...just a small boost, a half inch lift in boots which really are hard to spot but suddenly help your posture and make you look a bit taller.

I think he has a good posture from seeing him a few times, he certainly could have a little lift at times.

well unless he had a lift in his boot I would say he was more a fraction over 5ft 9.

I think he always has a bit of volume, like about 0.75in worth of hair.

He looked around 5ft 9.5 range to me, but a bit thicker footwear...of course he has thicker hairstyle than me which adds another fraction!

he is a nice guy, kind of relaxed

it depends whether he is a guy who puts a little lift in his footwear, but 176 is probably a fair shout.

it's simpler for me to talk to one name. Ultimately it isn't a big deal, because if I have time to answer I will, but I like to speak to the same moniker ;)

he'd only be 5ft 8 if he was wearing a noticeable 3cm lift in his boots...I didn't think they looked bulging

Clip of Latifah show

an extra 3cm might not seem as much, but if you think about it - from your eyes you are now nearly looking eye to eye with 177-8 guys. At 176 you also then feel 3cm taller than all those 172/3 guys and now 5-6cm taller than the 170-1 guys

I always look at shoes myself when I see a celebrity as what's an estimate without knowing if there's any footwear difference (especially women)...it's rare I don't have a decent idea.

Ian definitely can look taller at times...he looked a bit taller than I remembered from 2006, but then maybe all that working out and toning himself helped make him a fraction taller, either that or his boots help at times!

last time I checked mine I was in the 5ft 8.75 zone, but have been nearly 5ft 9 aswell - Jenny used to be 5ft 9 out of bed but I've not checked hers for a long time.

doing some weights can certainly improve your physique and posture, but making you stop growth? I doubt that, exercise can help with growth hormone production...it's when you start overdoing weights and trying to lift big using back that might end up doing some damage to your discs.

bigger boots

yeah he's a cool guy

nah, you need to leave a lasting impression for someone to remember you, I don't think I would!

it's hard to say, but certainly not big ones, putting 1/2 or 3/4 inch lift into boots and making it seem natural is easier than trying to put 1.25-1.5 inch lifts

there's still a chance, best just getting on with life, not measuring for a year, eating well, sleeping and doing a bit of exercise - that's my advice to most youngsters.

still possible for a proportion to grow noticeabley (half inch or more) between 18 and 21, but it's a smaller amount

he's been on 176 for a while and was 175 for a few years. He naturally looked a bit taller as he had a bit thicker footwear and maybe workouts over the years have helped his posture/height a little?.

It's easy to have a small lift in a boot and not be able to tell, just a wee 1cm boost.

yes, very fit!

ian (when not wearing a hat) and jensen are very good looking men, women off top of head I think karen gillan, elyse levesque, christina hendricks, maggie grace are some I thought looked very attractive.

photographer was very fast so before I think 'smile' it snapped :)

really no chance.

I saw him again literally this week and he appeared no shorter than 177cm range, got another photo to show this! I had a good look at him and with thicker footwear than me (about 1/3rd inch, but no more than that) Ian managed to pull off looking nearer to 5ft 10 than 9....in any case, he definitely looked taller to me than he did 7 years ago and was still - according to ladies who were with me of course - as good looking in person.

Is he a kind of guy who might wear a small lift? Hard to tell, slipping a half inch lift is easy to do without giving it away to people...

If he had no small lift I'd say he could be nearer to 5ft 9.5 than you'd think.

173, I'm only 174 much earlier in the day and drop to 173 by lunchtime

hard to tell when jeans cover a lot of shoe, but that day he had normal looking heels.

he didn't look 5ft 8, he looked 5ft 9 range...

i think 5ft 9 range is what he looks, I don't think he'd drop below it.
