Joonas Suotamo's Height
6ft 11 (210.8 cm)
Finnish actor and basketball player, best known for playing Chewbacca in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. In a 2006 newspaper he was mentioned as "6-foot-9 freshman" and coach Ed DeChellis described him as "6-10" in 2005. He claimed to stand 211.5cm tall. On his imdbResume he listed his weight as "225 lbs".
I can see very well from the suit, but in order to reach the crazy height requirement of 7’6″, I have to wear little heel types of things in my shoes — because I’m only [6’10”] myself. So it was difficult, and there were some minor injuries

Just some finnish guy who is so big he can't find suitable clothes, so a celeb magazine reporter brought him some custom made clothes. Here he is back to back with that guy. That reporter is 178cm, so that's how you would look next to a 212.5cm guy 😛 Click Here 😛

And might I add, his wife doesn’t look over a foot and a half shorter than him like a normal sized woman would. She’s tall as well. Their kids will grow to be giants.

Same guy interviewing Joonas again. He says he is standing on 4-5 boxes there Click Here
I doubt that. He can't appear that short if he really is standing on several boxes.
Here he interviews Chris Pratt Click Here
He looks to be around Big Rob's height, compared to a weak 6'2 Pratt. So that box thing can't be true. Wonder why he claims that though?

Arie Dekker claimed that he is 210.7 cm and Joonas is about half a cm taller - which would put him about 1/8" over 6'11". I believe it, personally.

Wow that's some detective work LOL! As if 6'4 is short! With his mother you'd assume she has footwear advantage and at least a head taller. I would have guessed around 6 ft, no lower than 5'11 anyway. So neither of them are unusually tall. Yao Ming's parents were 6'7 and 6'3 and he ended up 10 inches taller than the father which is unusual as it was with Fingleton. Whenever I see a legit giant you never get one parent who is a giant and the other average, it always seems to be the tall mother that makes the difference.

I would have guessed 6'10 range to 6'11 with Woody Harrelson here. Click Here
I'm always curious how tall the parents are when I see somebody as big as this! :-)
Click Here - his dad

They're nowhere near his range, we can't see footwear but they'd still have to be very tall range given that he is 6'11. Something like 6'4-6'5 and 6'-6'1 is possible?. Somebody said Arie Dekker's parents are about that too. Two sets of normal very tall genes exaggerating again.
6'11 is just about the limit of a range I think which I could imagine somebody being, but 7 ft and over it starts to gets mind boggling how somebody could be that big. Look at 6'10 above a door and it's imaginable not too freaky but near 7'2 like the Dutch giant is ridiculous! Joonas is very rare in that he has good proportions, looks healthy and good for somebody this big.

Yes, if you hit somebody's mouthlevel, that means usually 20cm difference, depending on your head size of course. Joonas head is around 10in, so its easily 20cm. Harkki is 191cm, so it's pretty easy math there.
Dave Bautista hits an inch under Joonas mouth, so he should be around 6'2, although Rob lists him 6'2.75. Click Here
Bautista may be exactly your height, RJT, so that's how you should look next to Joonas 😉

Yeah a 20cm height difference would make the shorter person's head reach the taller guy lower lip.
I'm 6'2 5/8"and my 5'6 1/8" brother top head just reach the chin crease under lower lip.

Arie and Joonas spent hours and hours together practising fight scenes for the Star Wars, so Arie should know how tall Joonas is. If he says Joonas is 0.5cm taller, reckon he is. Joonas said he was measured from head to toe before casted as Chewbacca, so Arie must have been measured as well. Arie 210,7cm, and Joonas 211,2cm.

6'9 was actually not a claim, he was just mentioned that height by one person. He was obviously wrong. Joonas was measured from head to toe when he was casted as Chewie, and got 211,5cm measurement barefoot. Average guess is too low probably due to his 6'9 and 6'10 false "claims". Simple as that.

6'11.25 is 211.45cm, so Joonas is 2.5mm under that line. 6'11 is 210.82cm so Joonas is 3.8mm over that line. Means he is "easily" (Lol) closer to 6'11.25 than 6'11.

Don't know about that 209cm. Suotamo doesn't look much shorter than Olivier Richters, if we compare both guys next to 173cm dudes.

Richters head looks pretty huge there, he is probably standing slightly closer to the camera, compared to Suotamo. Which means Richters is favored there. Yet they don't differ so much. It's pretty hard to believe Richters is 8cm taller than Suotamo, like they are listed now. But anything is possible, of course. These kind of comparisons aren't so accurate, as we know.

Easily 7ft out of bed. In this article he claims 7ft again:
Chewbacca has a hulking physical presence, as Wookies stand very tall and can rip your limbs off with their bare hands. Joonas Suotamo stands at an impressive 7'0, but it turns out that he still needed to wear heels to get even taller. The reason? Because the filmmakers want to make sure he's the same height as the late Peter Mayhew. Suotamo was recently asked if it was hard to act with the Chewie mask on, to which he said:
- It’s actually not difficult at all. Because the mask is so tight on my face, it doesn’t hinder my visibility; I can see fine. And it’s not that heavy. So, it’s not a hard thing to do. I can move fine, but sometimes, I wear these small heels to make me a couple inches taller because I’m only 7’0. That hinders me a little bit but not too much. The intention was to match Peter’s listed height from when he was younger, but when doing running scenes or action shots, we sometimes did not use the high heels.

Suotamo looks about 2in taller than 6'9.5 listed Michael Kingma in this comparison.

Comparisons like these are not necessery so accurate due to camera angles, distances, and photo resolution, but can give some clue anyway.
Suotamo said in an interview, that all the candidates for Chewbacca were measured before the audition. I wonder if they would have casted Joonas, if he was just 6'10 range? Requirement was 7ft, like Joonas has stated several times. 6'11-6'11.5 is so close to 7ft, that it really doesn't matter weather you pass that line or not.

Comparisons like these are not necessery so accurate due to camera angles, distances, and photo resolution, but can give some clue anyway.
Suotamo said in an interview, that all the candidates for Chewbacca were measured before the audition. I wonder if they would have casted Joonas, if he was just 6'10 range? Requirement was 7ft, like Joonas has stated several times. 6'11-6'11.5 is so close to 7ft, that it really doesn't matter weather you pass that line or not.
Editor RobI can see the case for 6ft 11 range.

Same TV hosts with Serge Ibaka, and Suotamo.

Ibaka is listed at 7ft on Raptor's roster but he is most likely 6'9-6'10 range. Sometimes he looks taller than 6'9.5 Kevin Durant, sometimes shorter. Anyway, looks clearly shorter than Suotamo.

He looks too proportionate for a 210 cm guy, like a 6'6 guy.
Yeah the above photo he has the look of a 6'6-6'7 guy. You wouldn't look at it and think he was three inches taller than Crouchie. This guy has some serious genetics. looks quite good for a man this tall.

6'10.5 is ok for Joonas, but he can also look 6'11 in many pictures, like with Markkanen, and with that 202cm player. here Joonas with 192cm Paul Bettany.

Both guys are 6'5 with Joonas.
Click Here
Same guy with Peter Mayhew, and Joonas. Not so good pic to judge their difference due to Joonas is further away from the camera, and the guy is tiptoeing there. @Big Rob, how tall do you think that guy is? 6'4?
Click Here
Joonas, Peter and 6'10 Ross Sambridge are all very close in heights.
Click Here
Wonder why Joonas claims so accurate figure, 211.5cm if he hasn't measured that height. It can be though early morning measurement, who konows. Or shoe height. Somewhere between 6'10.5 -6'11.5 he probably is.

6'10 1/2 won't do any surprise but 6'11 i don't think so. Robbe may believe he is 6'11-6'11 1/2 but with alot of known height actors around him the max he look to be struggle 6'10 3/4 max.

Joonas was listed as 209cm by his team back then. What do you think Rob, does he look 209cm, or 211,5cm?

Well, 6'10.5 is a good start, even though 6'11 would have been closer to the truth. Here Lauri with his 6'10 dad, Pekka Markkanen. Joonas looks clearly taller than Pekka.

I think Joonas 211,5cm claim (6'11.25) is what he really is.

Joonas with a legit 7ft Lauri Markkanen. That's not 2in difference.

Also, don't let their eyelines fool you, Joonas has bigger forehead than Lauri.
@Big Rob, you should really upgrade Joonas to his 6'11.5 claim. 6'10 is too low.

Editor RobWhilst I don't know about 6ft 11.5, I can see how 6ft 10.5-11 is believable.

Joonas claims 6'11.5 in many interviews.
At 1:35 here Click Here
1.30 here Click Here
1:45 he claims just under 7ft Click Here
7ft is mentioned here at 2:55 Click Here
In Finnish TV he has also claimed 212cm. He looks easily 5in taller than Spencer Wilding, and is definitely taller than Winston James Francis. It's possible Joonas really is 212cm. What do you say Rob, time for upgrade? He looks taller than just 6'10.

Richters looks nowhere near 7'2 with Joonas. Camera angle is favoring Richters, yet he looks only 2in taller than Joonas there. It's possible Richters is just 7ft, no more.

Ian Whyte would be a better height to played Chewbecca. But too bad the role doesn't apply to him but Joonas.

211,5cm is possible of course for Joonas. It's hard to see whether your 209, or 211cm, when your among "normal" sizes people. Joonas is indeed listed as 211cm in many pages. Also, wonder why would he claim so accurate height, if he wasn't? It would be interesting to see Joonas with his fellow citizen, basketball player, Lauri Markkanen, who is a legit 7 footer. Here's Lauri with 194cm Patrik Laine.
Click Here
The difference between Joonas and Lauri should be practically nothing, if Joonas is really 211,5cm. Im sure they meet at some point, and well see how cleary Lauri edges out Joonas.
Page for Markkanen at some point, Rob?

Looks like they found an even taller guy than Joonas for the Chewbacca suit at the Cannes Solo premiere, although Suotamo may have a camera disadvantage in this photo.

Somewhere listed 6'10", other times 211 cm/6'11", I'd go with his official basketball listing, 209 cm. And he looks around that...

Joonas is 209cm barefoot Click Here
In the pic below, Gwendolino is most likely wearing 4in heels, so she is around 200cm there. Also, Joonas looks every bit of his 209cm with 180cm Robert Maschio. Peter Mayhew was taller than Joonas in his peak, but nowadays Joonas looks taller.

Perfect proportions of a man who in spite of being exceptionally tall doesn't look freakish or even gigantic. I had a great-uncle in the 6ft8 range from Croatia and just like Joonas you would have never guessed that he was over 2 meters when pictured alone or sitting down.
