I'd say 6ft2. He towered over Alex Baldwin who some say is 6ft.
thekiddd said on 19/Apr/08
186cm is pratically 6'1". He is about that or 6'1" flat since he looked a tiny bit shorter than Dan Huston in 23.
Johnny said on 10/Apr/08
I'm not sure where all this "6 ft" talk is coming from. I met him and he was defintely shorter then me. I'm about 6 ft. I don;t know, I'm not 100% positive.
Lucidus said on 5/Apr/08
Jim Carrey is not 186 cm tall because he looked almost two inches shorter than Jeff Daniels in Dumb and Dumber.
loller said on 2/Apr/08
You "in his prime" guys are funny. You really know nothing about how the human body works. People don't just shrink an inch or two over a few years.
Clark said on 28/Mar/08
To lose height at jim's age right now would be extremely rare. while morgan freeman was well into in sixties.
fern said on 23/Mar/08
He's 6,2. He may shrunk a half inch but in his prime forsure 6,2
Clark said on 20/Mar/08
Morgan Freeman had more than "an inch" in Bruce Almighty on Jim Carrey. Maybe 2 or 2 1/2 inches. Jim is closer to 6.05...Jim also had the big gappy air sneakers while Freeman had flats.
Kid-Icarus said on 28/Jan/08
He is probably a full 6'1". An inch is what most actors add on. But he did look shorter than Tommy Lee Jones in Batman Forever but he was wearing big heels.
Rooney said on 28/Jan/08
In Me, Myself & Irene he only looks an inch shorter than 6'3 Rob Moran
Robbie H said on 21/Jan/08
he looked shorter than val kilmer in batman forever
Adam Brennon said on 11/Jan/08
Never thought of Carrey is being exceedingly tall, but when watching Bruce Almighty I became aware that he also taller than most men with whom he is compared. In some cases by quite a margian.
Ray said on 2/Jan/08
In Bruce Almighty Freeman (6' 2.5") has at least an inch on Carrey. I'd say 1.5". Freeman is wearing very low heeled shoes while Carrey is wearing "air max type" sneakers which give 1.4". I'd say Jim Carrey is between 6'0" and 6'1". There is no way he is 6' 2" or close to it.
Anonymous said on 2/Jan/08
i saw Carrey doing an hysterical bit about new year on Letterman,when they stood next to each other Carrey looked an inch taller.Letterman used to be about 6'2" but i think he shrank,i'd put him to 6'1" and Carrey to 6'2".

I think I have the best evidence so far. Jim next to Jenny McCarty who is 5'6"(dont know why she is listed here as 5'6.5")I have heard her referr to herself as 5'6". Anyway here is the picture:
Click Here
As you trained eyes can see she is up to his nosetip. She wears 3" heels and that will give her a 2" gain so she is then 5'8" and I estimate Jims head to be 24CM or 9.5" a pretty average head size, this means that from the top of his head to the tip of his nose it should be 16.5CM or 6.5".comparisson 5'8"+6.5"= 6'2.5". Jim wears a typical pair of suite shoes which will give him 0.75" extra so 6'1.75" or 187.5CM is then his height. However considering he tilts his heads upwards in the picture I know from experience that it will usually skew the result with 0.5" so I reduce his height to 6'1.25" or 186CM. And that is the impression I have had of him when seeing him at talk shows such as Leno and also in his movies. 186CM is spot on in my opinion!.
But he do look a full 6'2" guy and sometimes even 6'3" when he stands alone due to his long legs and short torso and his lean figure but when I see him next to other people in films I have always estimated him to 186CM.
Sincerely Joakim Ågren!
kmta said on 6/Jul/07
In The Mask, he doesn't look anywhere near 6'2, more like 6'0.5
San fran said on 28/Jun/07
I saw Jim Carrey on Conan O'brien and Conan is about 6'4 and let me tell you when they stood face to face and shook hands Conan towered over him by a good 4 inches maybe more.
Franco said on 27/Jun/07
for me Jim has always been a hair below 6'2 in his prime, say 6'1.5
today i wouldn't give him more than 6'1 honestly, he looks 6'1 flat (bare footed)
Alex said on 24/Jun/07
Looks at least 6'1. Could be 6'1.25-6'1.5 though.
Aaron said on 3/Jun/07
danimal, just out curiousity, where are you from? I play soccer with a kid whose nickname is danimal.
C said on 1/Jun/07
Hard to say but in both Dumb and Dumber and Earth Girls Are Easy, Carrey was two inches shorter than the late SNLer Charles Rocket, who was listed as 6'2'' (shortchanged???). The problem is that you can't tell if Jim is standing fully straight because of his tendency to do physical comedy.
Jay said on 10/May/07
If you watch the movie 23 he's taller then everyone in the movie except once character, he's got such a lazy posture and his head was always slouched. But he still looked rather tall compared to everyone else in the movie. I cant see him anything under 6'1.5
Chris said on 1/May/07
Danny Huston is a full 6'2''. Jim Carrey looks ½-1 inch shorter than him in number 13.
Drew said on 30/Apr/07
Carrey is just under 6'2". The current estimate is correct. Now way is he he under that.
Anonymous said on 23/Apr/07
Yep. Devin Hester was measured at the combine at 5'10-5/8". I think those measurements are early in the morning too. Jim looks about 2-2.5 inches taller. I'd say 6'1 at the most. maybe even 6'0.75".
Viper said on 7/Apr/07
Jim looks no more than a flat 6-1.
Danimal said on 7/Apr/07
Well, his coworker in Dumb and Dumber is 6'3" and he Jim seemed to be a little more than 1" shorter than him. I give Jim 6'1.5".
TheJerk said on 7/Apr/07
No kidding Viper? That would mean myself at a solid 5-11 would appear nearly as tall as him in that picture. He doesnt look to be slouching an incredible amount. I always thought 187 was a good estimate, but he looks to be struggling with 6 even in that picture. Maybe footware comes into play - but still I'm surprised to see Carrey look that low.
Viper said on 5/Apr/07
Hester is under 5-11. More 5-10.5
Lil said on 31/Mar/07
I would have always guessed 6"2/3, i was wrong by the looks of things!

187 is bang on
Height Tracker said on 1/Mar/07
Clive, you are wrong. He actually did say 6-2 when referring to himself. I still think he's 6'1" though.
Snapper G said on 20/Feb/07
Saw him on Letterman tonight and they appeared to be very close in height, so 6-1.5 appears to be very accurate as Letterman seems to be generally acknowledged as being a little under 6-2.
Viper said on 12/Feb/07
Carrey looks a flat 6-1 to me.
Clive said on 12/Feb/07
On the film "Liar Liar", in the court scene after Jim Carrey injuried himself, the judge asked him how looked like the guy who attacked him. And Jim Carrey started by telling it was a 6'1 guy refering to himself. As you know on the film he was unable to lie, so even if it was in the film why didn't he tell 6'2 instead of 6'1 since he talked about himself ???
dmeyer said on 30/Jan/07
he can look 186 he can look 188 so 187 make sens
James said on 26/Dec/06
Almost 6'2"? I just don't see it. I recently watched Batman Forever and recall this one scene where Carrey is the shortest guy in a group of three, including 6'1" Val Kilmer. Even factoring in the slouch, he didn't look taller than Kilmer. He's probably like 6'1".
Jay said on 23/Dec/06
I always thought he looked like a solid 6'2, I think he may come across a little shorter because he slouches a bit.
Alex said on 9/Dec/06
Jim Carrey at 6'2 I'm not sure about, possible. Looks at least 6'1 minimum in his movies.
Maccahon said on 30/Sep/06
My dad's girlfriend Heather, met Jim Carrey, and had a picture taken with her and Rupert Everett. Rupert Everett is 6`4, and Jim Carrey does appear to be about 2 inches shorter. I would say 6`2 is pretty accurate.
Anthony said on 28/Sep/06
Carrey always seemed about 6'2 to me, so 187 seems bang on. he always looks tall in movies and photos.
ralph said on 29/Aug/06

supes78 said on 25/Jun/06
Carrey looks very close in height to Morgan Freeman in the following pics so I'd say almost 6'2" is spot on;
Click HereClick Here
Gonzalo said on 5/Apr/06
He was almost as tall as Morgan Freeman in Bruce Almighty and Freeman is almost 1`90. Carrey was taller than Martin Landau in The Majestic and Landau was at least 1`85 in his heydays. I think Carrey has to be 1`87 or 88cm, so I agree with Rob
bikagyura said on 29/Mar/06
Why does everyone think he looks so much shorter than Freeman? The difference looks to be no more than half an inch in Bruce Almighty... Remember also that you can hardly have a better posture than Freeman. Carrey on the other hand...
dmeyer said on 20/Mar/06
thanks rob because carey look close to 6'2"
Frank said on 19/Mar/06

Glenn said on 19/Mar/06
I once saw a photo of the 5-8 mel gibson with jim and they were the same height! mel mustve been standing on a step.
dmeyer said on 19/Mar/06
you should list him at 6'1.75" since you say a very strong 187 also he might even be 6'2" since morgan is a lithel over 6'2" close to 6'3"
Editor Rob
yeah, when he stands properly he can look strong 187cm, sometimes maybe his relaxed attitude in pics can make him appear shorter
Frank2 said on 19/Mar/06
Keanu is 6'1". No doubt about it. And Jim Carry is tall. I used to see him when he did bits on the Fox series In Living Color. Remember Fire Marshal Bill? I'd say he's possibly 6'2". He's certainly a lot taller than I am. Carry showed up as a guest entertainer at a tribute I attended with my wife for Israel's then Prime Minister Itzhak Rabin held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. Seated with Rabin was Fox owner and News Corp big wig Rupert Murdoch who at the time was my boss as well as MCA chief Lew Wasserman. Jim Carry came out and did one of the most tasteless routines I've ever seen. I could instantly tell that Murdoch was not pleased in the slightest with Carry's humor which I must say was generally in the gutter. Neither was the majority of the black tie audience in attendence. It wasn't long after that Rabin was assassinated. Memories!
Oak said on 18/Mar/06
come on guys. if Keanu is 6 foot, Jim carry is at least 6'2"
Watch "speed" then keanu is at least 2 inche(or more) shorter then Jeff daniels....but he's like listed as 6' 1.
In dumb and dumber Jim doesn't seem to look no more than an inche shorter then Jeff. So the conclusion is Jim is at least 1.5~2 inches taller then Keanu Reeves. if keanu is 6' then Jim is like 6' 1and half"
If keanu is 6'1" as listed Jim gotta be more than 6' 2"
Glenn said on 15/Mar/06
Possibly.I just it was to early in his career to act like that.
elio said on 14/Mar/06
Glenn,
Perhaps he's just being cautious. I imagine he gets a large percentage of annoying wackos apeing his lines/catchphrases from his movies to his face all the time. I reckon I'd just ignore everyone after hearing someone shout 'Allllrighty Then!' for the 5,000th time.
Although... that wouldn't explain why he ignored you on the 1st Pet Detective, seeing as he wasn't really known then.
Glenn said on 13/Mar/06
More 6-1.and one of the worse.even during PET DETECTIVE he ignored me.
Editor Rob
never managed to get a pic with him, did he ignore everyone trying for pics?
Height Tracker said on 12/Mar/06
Jerk, the main reason Carrey didn't look much taller than Broderick is that he slouched noticeably throughout that whole film in order to portray that ridiculous character. In addition, I don't think Carrey is 6'2", but more in the 6'1" range.
Anonymous said on 5/Mar/06
He was way bigger than Owen Wilson in the Cable Guy too.
TheJerk said on 2/Mar/06
Although I tend to think that he is as tall as 6'2" a lot of the time, in the movie The Cable Guy he didn't look much more than 4.5 inches taller than Broderick (5' 7 max) in many scences. What do you guys think about this? I saw the movie relatively recently, so I think my memory is correct here.
dmeyer said on 12/Feb/06
whi dont you list him at 6'1.75" i think he is 6'2"
Ericswrong said on 29/Jan/06
Yea bro in full agreement with CoolJ just saw it last night and he had at the least 6 inches on the 5'6 Davidson more close to seven or eight cuz of Carrey's bad posture.

Eric: You're full of it.. I saw an episode with those two last night. Carrey had ALOT on Davidson.. at least 8 inches.

Eric said on 19/Jan/06
Watching an old 'In Living Color" episode...standing DIRECTLY next to Tommy Davidson, Carrey looks to be at most 2-3 inches taller..and Davidson is considered small, I guess.

there is an old snl epiosde with jim carrey hosting it and he was doing the night at the rockbary spoff with will farrel and he had about 3inches on him , rob you should def check it out. jim carrey might be between 5'11.5-6'0

In Dumb and dumber Jeff Daniels is about an inch taller than Carrey.

Wasnt he as tall as Jeff Daniels in Dumb and dumber? I know Daniels is like near 6'3" so Carrey, cant be much under 6'2
MaxB said on 30/Oct/05
In that photo with Agassi, it's not the Carrey's posture that's an issue - I'd bet Agassi is standing on something! We can't see their feet and Agassi's knees and socks are way to high if he and Carrey would be standing on the same level. And also look at Agassi's small arms and hands compared do Carrey's.
joeyb said on 15/Sep/05
i have a biography of him that was published in the early 90s and it has his height at 6 feet
delfonic said on 15/Sep/05
If he stood up straight next to Agassi, he has a solid inch and a half on him. I think Carrey's about 6' 1/2" barefoot. Making him 6' 2"ish in generous shoes. Like most males in hollywood, he gives the shoed height as his official height.
FASULO said on 15/Sep/05
I would say 185-186.With agassi he has a bad posture and seems shorter
Sal said on 15/Sep/05
When I was in LA i saw celebrity License's in a store window... it had Jim Carrey at 5'11" i think they might have given him a half inch designation on the card as well... i find it unlikely and see him being closer to 6'2"...
John said on 14/Sep/05
hes shorter then tommy lee jones in batman, so he isnt a Strong 187cm haha, thats quite funny, a "strong" 187cm, funny terminology hes either 187 or not haha, and he probably isnt. so If hes shorter then Tommy, whoes like 6ft, and tommys shorter then will smith whoes meant to be 6"2, but is hardly even 6"1 ( Ive met him, hes not big, pushing 6"1 in the morning haha) then by this Jim could even be 6ft or 5"11.5 . He doesnt look much more then half an inch taller then aggasi anyway. Its a pity people dont know how to use a measuring tape properly anymore.
Jon said on 28/Aug/05
There is only one half-decent scene where Wilkinson and Carrey can be compared. Wilkinson is standing slightly hunched in a doorway and Carrey shuffles past him. Taking into account postures and so on it did look as though Carrey was 0.5-1" taller, which I found difficult to reconcile at the time as I had believed Wilkinson to be 6'3".
McFan said on 11/Jul/05
Jim Carrey looks between 5'10 - 6'2 and is good at playing a smallish character. Remember in Batman how he appeared smaller than Val Kilmer? He's no doubt very close to 6'2 when he stands up.
CelebHeights Editor said on 8/Apr/05
"Six feet two" is his answer in NY Metro Magazine.
Smoke said on 2/Apr/05
I'm not sure as to what Carrey's height is exactly, but when I met him a couple years ago before he did the Conan O'Brien he did look to be 187 cm at the very least. All I can say is, if LL Cool J is 187 cm then Jim Carrey is atleast 190 cm. Carrey to me definately did looked to be 2 or 3 cms taller than me, which would put him in the 187/188 cm range.
joeyb said on 26/Feb/05
yeah..in bruce almighty you can tell he is shorter than Morgan Freeman
