After seeing him next to the likes of Ryan Seacrest and Nick Jonas at the iHeartRadio Music Awards a few months back, while he could very well be a real 5'9", he is not a single cenimeter more.

Even though he says 5'9 himself, I think he was rounding it down. 5'9.25 or 5'9.5 is a better listing IMO but I guess it's hard to know for sure. Can look 5'10 as well of course depending on footwear.

He really is just a 5'9 guy which is average and why many posters here think he is taller. Most guy's his height claim 5'10 or try for 5'11 even.

Yeah it seems we have found our legit or go to guy for 5 feet 9 like 6 even for david duchovny. When a guy seems to always make people look shorter than their listings that is probably a sign he is pretty honest or could even be a 176 guy. Still he always does make people look not too tall. Maybe a legit 5 feet 9 is not all that small.

I think he underestimated his height as he looks like a weak 5'10". 176-177cm seems perfect for him.

he makes lots of other celebs look shorter of their listing who appear next to him, like Jake Gyllenhaal only 5'10, dicaprio 5'10.5, Andrew garfield 5'10, Colin Farrell 5'9.5 ,etc , even though their listing is almost perfect.

@Dan: Some might say modesty, I say honesty. In the end people will believe what they will believe, but this is a question I ask myself every time I see a new piece of some kind of evidence - and knowing that this is Hollywood stars we are talking about here: what's more likely? A few celebs claiming less than their real height, or a lot of celebs getting guessed over/claiming over their real height?
I salute guys like Jamie Foxx, Tom Hardy and Chrisoph Waltz for their honesty. Not saying there aren't other honest celebs out there, but those three I feel are the guys that most often get pegged as "modest" whenever compared to others who perhaps have given themselves a little extra with their claims. Thankfully it's usually down to a fractional discrepancy, which could be explained as difference in posture, more/less footwear, camera angles and so on (when looking at pics/videos) - at times it's enough to drive me mad...

Why would he claims he's 5'9 if he's 5'9.5 or 5'10. There isn't a single man on earth who downgrades his height when he's under 5'11. He's a legit 5'9.

@Billy Good judgment Bill, the difference is probably correct. But Garfield is about 177 cm weak 5'10 and Fox is about 5'9.

Rob , now with waltz giving himself 170cm , what do you think is fair for him? I'd say a legit 5'9
[Editor Rob: maybe him saying 170 and foxx saying 5ft 9 matches up, both being honest]
Only thing missing now is Leo getting the 5'11 listing ;) 5 cm between Foxx and Waltz, 5 cm between Foxx and Leo, 10 cm between Leo and Waltz. At least that's what I'm consistantly seeing.

Well I just watched his season 1 episode 15 little "little red corvette" of the Jamie Foxx Show and in the episode he got arrested and booked and He had to take a picture next to the height scale and standing next to it it looked like he was about 5'8" or 9" and earlier in the episode I seen that he had on some boots called lugs and they give you about an inch to an inch and a half height addition so he may be 5'7.

I'm watching The Soloist (again) & was shocked to see how close in height Jamie Foxx & Robert Downey Jr. are so I had to look it up... I always thought Jamie Foxx was about 5'11, but 5'8" seems more like it after seeing him next to RDJ. RDJ is another shockingly short leading man. I discovered just how diminutive after seeing him walking behind Nicole Kidman in the movie Fur while wearing slippers; No lifts, no elevator shoes & she, who's 5'11", was wearing flats & absolutely towering over RDJ who I would now speculate to be around 5'6". It just goes to show that Hollywood is amazing at fooling us because very few leading men are 6' or taller.

This seems to me like the most incorrect height on this site; he always seems taller than this. Watching Django unchained reminded me of this as comparing him to DiCaprio and Christoph Waltz he makes them, if his height was correct, seem 5'11 and 5'7 max. Just because he said he is 'like' 5'9 does not mean he is not taller than, dispite what some people believe which is that a man would never claim to be shorter than he is.
I think he is at least 5'10 and I wonder on which movies/pictures this 5'9 is based, besides what he himself claimed.

Why does it seem like most of the best musicians and actors are shorter? You rarely see any taller people at the top. Is it they are just born more talented or is it they have to put up with stuff growing up and become way more talented then taller people?

If the wax figure inside madam tussauds is of true likeness, which I think they are because celebrities always pose beside their wax figures when they are first introduced to the museum, then Jamie foxx looks to be no taller than 5'7, 5'8 may even be a stretch. I was in flip-flops and I'm normally 5'6" in the morning of a well rested day and when I posed next to him his figure was at eye level, slightly taller. He's not a big guy, but very proportionately built.

i dont think that he is 5"9 i think he could be 5"10 flat. whenever he is with 6ft flat guys he seems only 2" shoter and when he was been interviewed by 5"11 nick canoon only looked an inch shorter than him i think he needs an upgrade rob.
He wears 2" lifts ;) He´s not more than 5´9", thats for sure, might be 5´8.5"...

This is one of the veeery few celebrities that they claim shorter than they look,either he has measured himself wrong or he wears lifts lately (but I doubt so).Either way he was confident enough not to upgrade his height, he easily looks taller. He appears in the 5' 10"-5'11" range preety usually, look at the following pictures with 5' 10" George Lopez:

I think he has a tendency to look shorter, because he has a large build. He's 5'8" most likely, and 5'9" in a standard one-inch shoe.

One has to take into account Ryan's lifts when making comparisons. Foxx could still very well be a full 5'9", though, I've always felt he was closer to 5'8" than he was 5'9".

I'm a huge fan of Jamie's. I met him in person and I'm about 5'7. I'd say he's a good 5'8 or 5'9. Records show he's 5'9. So I'd go with 5'9. I have a picture of me and him. He's way taller in person. 5'9 is the correct height. I thought he was short. But he's taller than my father and my father is 5'8, so he's 5'9.

There is something to be said for proportions. I think 'under 5-7' is not in the range of Jamie Foxx's frame. Its like if Tobey McGuire were an unknown actor and starred in a film where all the other actors and actresses were at least 2" shorter than him. He still couldn't claim anything over 5-9 and be believed because we can see his body.

Hey jazzy_yella, did you know that Black people tan? it could be that Foxx had just shot some long scenes in the outdoors and he got a shade or two darker. But I didn't know that that makes a person unattractive. By the way, I find it hard to believe that a guy who was once listed at 5-11 could actually be under 5-8

I happened to catch a rerun of "The Jamie Foxx Show", where Kevin Garnett (NBA superstar) guest stars. During one scene where Jamie mimicks what Kevin would say about him, he says "he's only about 5'8" anyway!" So, there is a solid example of the man himself referring to his own height.

Jamie Foxx could be between 5'8 and 5'9 ? Watch Booty Call , he is not much taller then Tommy Davis who is listed at 5'6 ! Foxx looks 5'8 to 5'9 next to him ! I use to think 5'10 , but hes not that tall !

He looks to me like he is no taller than 5.8 or at the very most 5.9. If you see himn against Christopher Duncan in his old tv show, Duncan TOWERS over him, but Duncan must be 6.3...I'd say.....but Foxx is no 5.10 for sure

rob do you think 176 is possible his shoes were legit puma 1 inch heel
Editor Rob the thing is, with height there's nearly as many guys measured at for instance a 5ft 8.75 as there are 5ft 9.25.
Take a large sample of heights and maybe 1/4 of folk will sit close enough to the inch mark to legitimately say 5ft 9, just as many will fall 5ft 9.25 or 5ft 9.5, but how many people in practice will include the '1/4' inch...or for that matter if measured 5ft 8.75, how many would say that as opposed to '5ft 9'.

I thought Jamie Foxx was closer to being 5-10. He looks taller than Eddie Murphy in the movie dream girls. I have seen Mr. Murphy up close. His brother Charles Murphy is about 5-11 or 6 ft.

I agree Stiffelio, in Jarhead he looks very solid. I think that he is quite versatile in that he can look slim in some films and for other films he can baulk up the muscle for a more athletic look.

Brah - Foxx is strongly built. He's got big bones. Check his huge hands and he said he wears a size 12 shoe. So 190 lbs for a 5ft 9in frame is believeble.

When he did "Ray", in an interview he said that he went from his usual 190 pounds down to 157. With that kind of weight, seems doubtful that he's less than 5'9". His big head is what makes people think he's shorter.

But then in other pics he does look shorter, maybe not as short as 5-8 but shorter. Glenn said there was no way Colin was wearing lifts with the type of shoes he was wearing.

Wow, with his 5'9" quote everything seems to make more sense. His appearances with Tom Cruise and Kanye West finally make some sense. Although, he seems like the type of guy who would be comfortable with self-depricating humour. Maybe he exaggerated how short he really was by a little.

hey i liked the editor of this site's listing for Jamie Fox... I saw a cover of ebony magazine just the other month and showed it to some people and told them that Denzel is a knows 6 footer and asked them how tall Fox was... they all said 6'1", from the appearance in the photo... the magazine actually rotated the photo to the left to make fox seem taller, so when i shifted the magazine and saw their jaws drop, when they realized the photo had been tampered with in the cropping... they changed their estimates to 5'10"... bravo to the site host for his ability to spot these photography tricks...

I disagree, regardless of what his true height is, Foxx always APPEARS quite short to me. I suspect MD is right in that Jamie seems to have short legs and perhaps that is what makes him look shorter than others of identical height to him.

Watch some old episodes of In Living Color, Jamie's ticket to stardom, before his now household name status as of now. Jamie and 5'6"-ish Tommy Davidson were very similar in size throughout the show. At most, Jamie maybe had about 2-3 inches on him. I'm thinking 5'8"+ for him. He looks too short next to tallish people to be 5'9". And to counter on MD, he was thinner on In Living Color and didn't look to be taller than he is now.

I agree with Asi on this one. I think what makes him look short is his new, more muscular build. Sometimes it doesn't make people look short and on other people it does. I also think what makes him appear short is that he has relatively short legs and a long torso. Long legs can make you look taller than you are. I'm often mistakenly thought of as taller than I really am because of my thin build and long legs.
Now, with all of that said, I think he could easily be as low as 5'7.7" (not really that short in my book) barefoot, and 5'9.5" in some heeled or slightly lifted shoes. I think if he looks anywhere over that it's because of obvious lifts, though. He's definitely not under 5'7" but I don't think he's over 5'9" either.

I have long doubted that Jamie was a tall as he reports, however I now think maybe it's so. I think Jamie is one of those people that simply looks short. For unknown reasons some people simply look shorter than their actual height. Often one can see two people of identical height and one looks shorter than the other. Why is this?
Whenever I see Jamie the first thought is "he's short". Today I saw him on a re-run of "In Living Color". He and one of the younger Wayans brothers was being introduced. When I saw the Wayans brother I thought nothing of his height [he simply appeared average in height and otherwise]. When I saw Jamie I thought he looks short. Then when comparing the two they are actually of similar height. So I think Jamie simply looks much shorter than other 5'9" (or 5'10") people.

Look at the cover of Ebony Magazine for this month... He looks the same height as the six footer denzel washington... i showed it to all my clients and they said they thought that jamie looked the same height as denzel maybee taller... when i slanted the magazine (you can tell by the photo that it is rotated to make jamie look taller!!!) They then said, Oh my goodness, he is like 5'10"... so bravo for the 5'9.5"

Jamie Foxx is 5'9" flat I think. I saw him at a Heat game up close once, and he was a little taller than me, cuz Im a little taller than 5'8".(Im only 17 though).
