People compare me to Dudley Moore because we both have dark hair and play the piano. But that's where the comparison ends. I'm five foot two - at least an inch taller than he was.

I think you would actually have to measure his height, etc. in a doctor's office for example. Photos don't necessarily give you an accurate figure because of the footware or if he is standing next to anyone. So check with his doctor? Not; that might be a violation of privacy!

Actually Brubeck in his 90s lost more than I thought, Click Here
looking weak 5'11" with the Obamas and De Niro there. Prime I thought he was near 6'2", Bill Evans was 6'2-6'3 I think.

Difficult to see him over 5 ft 4 flat. He's the coolest though isn't he, I'd love to jam in a band with him big band with him on piano. Pictured with the late jazz legend Dave Brubeck. Click Here How awesome would it have been to have met or played with Brubeck, almost as awesome as meeting Bill Evans. Brubeck or Evans on piano, Cullum and Larry Bunker on rhythm, Dexter Gordon, Charlie Parker and Coleman Hawkins on sax, Louis Armstrong on trumpet, Niels Henning Orsted on bass, me, Joe Pass and Barney Kessel on guitar yeah! How cool would that be, seriously!! Can't find a picture of Cullum and Brubeck standing up but Brubeck was a pretty tall guy like Bill Evans in his prime and would have still towered Cullum even in his 90s by then. Brubeck's got a son who is supposed to be something crazy like 6'9 or something.

I'm 5'5 and my brother's 5'11, I come up to him the same place Jamie comes up to Sophie, so I'm thinking he's about 5'5.

I'm 5'6" and believe me, with a good frame, correct posture, and the right shoes, 5'6" looks quite big. I don't see this guy anywhere close to just 1.5 inches less than me.

Definitely no more than 5'3" or 5'4", I met him a few years back, I'm 5'9" and I towered over him. Absolutely lovely guy.

Well, if Judi Dench is 5'1 as listed here, and in heeled boots, I would put Jamie at 5'5 minimum.

i just walked past him tonight in brighton with his girlfriend, sophie dahl - was soooo excited, despite not really caring for either of them! this height seems perfect. and she's not that tall either. i'm only 6' barefoot and i was considerably taller than her, although she was in flats.

5'4"? I thought he was 5'2". No matter, he's cute and talented. However, he doesn't look 5'4". More like 5'3" max.

Emyr: with alldue respect: Y Why am I interested in his height..well I don't care but this is a HEIGHT page!!!! No philosophy or psychology or moral site. It's for height. Of course that is superficial but if you don't want to discuss height there are millions of forums where one can express deep thoughts or discuss whats wrong with our society. You make some very interesting and valid points. Yes I should grow a thicker skin.

Leonari - Firstly it's good you've reconsidered what you said, although an apology isn't necessary and usually they're empty. What I couldn't get my head around was why you used belligerent language to describe his height. Not because it's offensive (as I'm not that precious) but because it's unprovoked and uncalled for. Unless this guy ran off with your ex, I couldn't fathom why you would act like that.
Secondly I don't see why we need to fuss over exactly how tall he is. Whether it's 164cm, 159cm etc it doesn't matter. As that's purely superficial. People have a strange almost obsessive fascination with height, even if we're an inch taller we like to crow about it heh.
Thirdly I'm not here to offer insights; besides there isn't anything to offer an insight into. As for being offended for being called a clown, well sorry but this is a big bad world. Not everyone will agree with us and I'd suggest you grow thicker skin if you felt aggrieved by that one word. If you expose yourself on a public domain such as the internet, then don't be surprised if people will challenge you. I'll concede that the 'clown' slur wasn't needed but I get tired of encountering hostility towards short height. Often in conversations if someone is tall it'll be along the lines of "oh he's tall!" (as if it's a badge of honour). Yet if the person is short it's more along the lines of "oh but he's short". As if it's something to feel ashamed or bad about lol.
It's fine for tall men to be with short women but if it's the other way around it's ridiculed lol. Which I put down to closed mindedness and insecuity. Sometimes you wonder if everyone has left the playground.
Also I'd contend that 'short guys' occasionally kick arse. Speed often kills more than brute strength. More often than not it's the quickest person who'll kill. Real fights aren't like boxing or martial arts where you have a referee, get ready with your stance and 'fight' on command. They're hectic, fast, furious and often short.
I should say for the record I'm 5'4 (shock horror - cue the boresome jokes)

Andrea - did he have exceptionally hairy feet?
Leonari - I think you're suffering from tall man syndrome. It's akin to the current state of the British armed forces...over-stretched and under-equipped (sometimes underfunded too). Why you show almost contempt for him just because of his height (which is innocuous) is beyond me. I can only guess that you don't like short men for some odd reason. 'Get over it'
I'd also like to add that being tall doesn't make one an ideal person/partner or that you're magically bulletproof. I know no one has said that and I'm certainly not attacking anyone here besides these two clowns. But society has a strange way of moulding certain individuals. I've seen small guys shoving around bigger guys like they were ragdolls so height certainly isn't everything.

Not that this is certain proof, but when Danish music magasine 'Gaffa' interviewed a few years back, they noted his as 160 cm which I believe is more accurate than 164. Not that's a big difference but he seems shorter than that. Again, I have never met him.

My memory might be wrong but I'm sure in the South Bank thing he said something like Dudley Moore was only 4 and a half, and I'm 5 and a half...in other words meaning '5ft 6'. At least that's what I thought...

If that guy is really 165, than is poosibly Tom can be 178 for those 5'10" that he claims and on that pic he looks like that. Anyway Tom Cruise as 177/8, not really credibly.
