He's clearly over 5'7, but absolutely no taller than Rob. 5'7 3/4 - 5'8 I can see him.

Can see 5’7.75 there, maybe 5’8 if he stood straight, seeing as Rob's 5’8.25.

Guys,Rob isn't a flat 5'8", he's over 174 cm for a good portion of the way, so this guy could really be 5'8" even a few hours out of bed.

John and Rob are both equally slouching, and Rob still seems to have a good fraction of an inch on him.

On Game of Thrones, Bradley looks 5’8”, overall. He definitely was about 1 inch taller than Kit Harrington on that show. I wonder if he told you any tips about being a Night’s Watch man, Rob. I think based on the camera angle (Rob angled closer with his shoulder pointed toward the camera more) it can make Rob look taller than Bradley, but that doesn’t always mean that he actually is. Also, it depends on the amount of footwear and people’s posture. I’m excited for Game of Thrones season 8 to come out soon! It’s so cool you got to meet many of those actors and take a photo with them!

Editor RobStill a few more GOT actors to meet, unfortunately it seems Kit Harington is pricing himself at a crazy figure (he is wanting 180 euros for a photo with him at a convention this year!). Crazy stuff really.

Looks really small on the latest mufc pictures. Barely taller than Fred at 5'6, this guy must have woeful posture.

John's shoulder level may be slightly higher but that doesn't mean he's taller, the top of his head is a bit lower than Rob's so maybe 172cm for John.

You're clearly slightly taller than him Rob. He's probably a strong 5'7" and is rounding up.

Shoulders don't lie he is at least 5'8. Looks like your typical heavy guy with poor posture.

5'7.75" is accurate. I've met the guy and I'm 5'8.5" consistently. He was just under an inch shorter than me, bit like sansa with baelish id think. Judging by that I'd say kit harington hovers around the 5'6.5" range.

Having just read a few comments below, I can see why some visitors think John Bradley stands a little lower than Rob, but look at the shoulders!
I, being a fervent believer that Rob tops 5ft8, have no difficulty accepting that John is a ligit 5ft8. Rob is a strong member of the 5-8 Club, John a weaker one, but that still qualifies! 👍

@Caballo Kit Harrington is 5'7" and if you actually watch Game of Thrones, you'd see that John almost consistently taller.

Ok, so Kit is 5' 8" also. All the pictures both are the same height or Kit is even taller.

Always got that guy at about 176cm
Its fun to realise the fact: i gone throught all 4 seasons of Game of thrones and always was consider that most actors are in 178-180 range. And now i got the truth: all this guys was about 170-175, since i am pretty good in guessing height i was really shocked. Thats is kinda nice choise of an actors.

Rob at 5'8 1/8 puts this guy perhaps at 5'7 7/8. That looks like maybe only 1/4inch difference.

I can't place him at 5'8" exactly, and agree he's slightly shorter. Maybe 5'7.75" is a better placing. He also looks slightly taller than Kit Harington in GoT, who looks slightly above 5'7", so 5'7.75 fits better for John.

I think that John Bradley is slightly taller than Rob. John wasn't standing very straight there and if you compare the level of their shoulders you can see that his are slightly higher. So I think that 5'8.5" is a more accurate height for John Bradley.

Did you mistype this height Rob? Or did you think he was dropping more height that you? He really looks more 5'7.5 here if anything.

She's 5'3". Caught a "Donna Reed Show" episode last November 24,but it,too,was laced with cough medicine commercials with coughing women.The first one was a Vicks Formula 44 cough disc commercial,with the coughing woman battling a nasty head cold.The other one was for Vicks Formula 44 made during the winter 1968 Hong Kong flu outbreak. The coughing woman here suffered from the flu. Whereas the woman in the Formula 44 cough disc commercial just had a hacking cough from her head cold,the other coughing woman suffered a thick,mucusy coughing spasm.(When you come down with the flu,usually you suffer coughing spasms,but,oddly enough,when Annette caught the flu in 2007 six weeks after coming back after she missed 8 weeks following kidney stone surgery,she suffered a deep bronchial cough. When she suffered the sinus infection last summer,she suffered a scratchy cough at first,but the post nasal drip from Annette's sinus infection turned it into a cough spasm,just like the flu stricken woman suffered. Then,Annette caught the flu again during holiday break,but she just had a soft hacking cough this time.) But once the coughing women took their Formula 44 cough disc and Formula 44 for their head cold and flu,they stopped coughing.
