I'm five four. I don't know if there will ever be a day that I'm not wearing heels. I'm a very big personality and I don't like to look up at other people. - The Guardian, 2016

I'm 5'4" in real life, so in the film I wore seven-inch platforms under my dress because I play Tom Hiddleston's sister, and he's, like, ginormous.

She’s well proportioned and struck me as taller than that, like 5’5-5’6. 5’4 seems reasonable though.

I don’t think she’s as short as 5’2. I believe she’s somewhere between 5’3-5’4 since that’s average anyway.

@ Irshgrl500 - Jessica is average and when she’s in her heels she’s taller than most!

Hi Rob,
Jessica looks tiny next to average or taller ladies. She's very cute & tiny. I say no way is she more than 5'2", and weighs 95#, at best.

Yep, Jade's way taller than just 6" than Jessica.
@Rob
How about a page for model Jade Parfitt? Her 6'1" listing seems pretty legit, at least next to Gwendoline Christie, though Jade has camera advantage.

I saw her in a movie and she was definitely 5'3.5 max looked like she might be close to lupita nyongo in height. She was in 2 inch heels and still not taller than anyone and looked kind of short even so she looks great to be 44 I would say 125 to 130 pounds is about right.

Jessica has the presence of a person considerably taller. I was surprised when I first found out that she wasn't around 5ft6 or so.
5ft3.75. 😃🌹

Shortest looking 5'4. Elizabeth Olsen might be tallest looking 5'4 compared to Jessica Chastain.

i still think she's closer to 5'2 than 5'4. idris elba is a head taller in molly games even when she is wearing heels and noticeably shorter than julianne moore. maybe moore has higher heels but moore would still edge her out.

My sister met Jessica a few years back mention she can't be 5'4 look a little shorter like between 5'3-5'3.5" so Rob nailed her listing too well. I did say close to 5'3 1/2 is a mid day height.

Wishing Jessica a wonderful 42nd Birthday Jessica - still a lovely age! Always gorgeous, always brilliant, I first saw her in the excellent horror movie 'Mama'. I was hooked, and showed it to my boyfriend, who filled me in on other films of hers!
I always felt she looked taller than under 5ft4 because she's got such a slender figure, but today she gets 5ft3.75. I think the average is too low.

I thought she could pull off a solid 5'4" but maybe her heels have had me fooled at times.

In candids with anne hathaway, jessica could be 5'5, even. she doesn't look that far from 5'8, but i'm not claiming she is, just saying their height difference in flat shoes isn't a great one

Michael Stulbarg who you have at 1.69 was taller than her in Miss Sloane with heels so I would say she is strong 1.60

My introduction to this actress was in the horror flick 'Mama', in which she plays a dark-haired, sexy rock chick who goes to great lengths to help 2 little girls that are related to her boyfriend. I could tell she was tiny from her part in that film but I feel she has the presence of someone much, much taller!

Photographic evidence points to a strong 5'3." Brandon's posting on her casting call stand-in nips it in the bud for me.

how long will she be listed 5'4 here? she's clearly nothing over 5'3 and most likely shorter.

Editor Rob while she might be somewhere in 5ft 3-4 zone, I wouldn't have thought arguing under 5ft 3 was possible...

Wouldn't be shocked if she was really 5' 3.

Really attractive in Mama in punkish get-up with dark hair, she has a nice body...she can come off taller due to her good posture, lean frame and heels, but only average height.

Agree that 5'4" is her honest height. She's about a head shorter than Michael Shannon and Jason Clarke. She's also within a couple of inches of Tom Hardy's and Shia LaBeouf's similar heights in her heels.
