5'7 and a fraction said on 7/Mar/23
How could I be so stupid? It's never occurred to me until this moment this he's the brother of Mads!
There's definitely a resemblance. Anyway looks like a solid 6'3 in both photos. Was noticeably taller than 5'11 - 6'0 Benedicta Cumberbatch in Sherlock Holmes.
6'2guy said on 15/Dec/22
He only looked an inch taller than Henry Cavill in The Witcher, I’m guessing Henry worse some sort of lifts
Sandy Cowell said on 10/Nov/22
I’ve seen Lars pop up twice today as a Random Celeb, so he should have a comment….
I look forward to the day that I actually see him act; perhaps he’s starred in one of fellow Dane, the director Lars Von Trier’s offerings. I like those, controversial as they are. 😲
His brother, Mads, is tall enough at around 6ft, but Lars has a fair old height advantage.
6ft3.5 peak and 6ft3 today.
John Sulu said on 13/Oct/22
Hey Rob, can certain guys lose half an inch by their mid to late 50's even when they don't lift heavyweights that often or almost not at all?
Editor Rob
Some people do succumb to loss in 50's, other's make it to 60 with no real visible loss.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 17/Jul/22
To be honest, this guy could pass for Alexander Skarsgaards dad more than Stellan. Same prominent forehead, high cheekbones, jaw...very angular looking
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 17/Jul/22
He doesn’t seem much taller than Mads in photos
Jolapizza said on 25/May/22
He looks like a legit 6'4 guy based on the poctures to me. Maybe that you didn't precised that he had a footwear advantage. But strangely, he only looks about 1-2 inches taller than Henry Cavill in the Witcher.
Hyper said on 24/Apr/22
@Rob
Sorry to ask again! OOOF! In your opinion, how do you think a Peak Charles Martinet would stack up against a Peak Lars Mikkelsen?
Editor Rob
Both could be argued to fall around 6ft 3.5
Darksol64 said on 24/Jan/22
Very strong 6'3 based on pictures. I'll also easily take his word for it that he was at least 6'3.5 peak.
Keep in mind on the second picture he's tilting his head down at least an inch. Otherwise the top of Rob's head would easily be about an inch below the bottom of his nose. After comparing many 6'1-6'2 range guys next to rob, I can say this is definitely what a true 6'3 is supposed to look like next to someone nearly 7 inches shorter. Big!

He is so honest
ChaosControl said on 9/Aug/21
He looks more than 80kg in the top photo but I think that’s just the coat
Elene said on 8/Aug/21
At least the listed height
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 18/Jul/21
Rob, could he be dipping under 6ft3 today?
Editor Rob
I think he probably still holds 6ft 3 ok, but when into 60's maybe he will drop another little fraction
Jordan87 said on 9/Jul/21
Good, Thrawn is tall!!!!!
RJT said on 19/May/21
Look 193cm in above pic cause your tophead barely reached his lower lip, maybe due to shoes.
Editor Rob
Starfury photographer is a bit closer, and the top of my head is further away from his chin. It's 24mm focal length, and
Showmasters shot is further about a foot or so further away using 28mm lens.
Genau said on 10/Feb/21
Is the full 192 possible for his peak Rob
Slim 6'1" said on 7/Feb/21
I choose 191 for peak
Mickie said on 14/Jan/21
I can agree with 6'3.5" peak 6'3" current.
slim 6'1 said on 2/Jan/21
191-192 peak
Canson said on 4/Dec/20
@Editor Rob: he could’ve been measured at 191.5 earlier in the day and rounded to 192. No guarantee he was ever an afternoon 6’3.5” (afternoon is the standard on the site). But I don’t disagree on him having been 6’3” or a hair over peak and still near 6’3” today if not right at the mark
Slim 6'1" said on 25/Sep/20
Compare him with gatiss
Slim 6'1" said on 25/Sep/20
I’d give him the 192 prime upgrade
190 today

192cm when young
Dream said on 20/Jun/20
@Rob,
Truthfully, he gives off a taller impression than Eugene Brave Rock, even with the picture on the right.
You're one who met them both, so I trust you on this!
Dream said on 19/Jun/20
Actually, I feel the right picture, is extremely similar to how an old Charles Martinet looked, height wise, in person.
How much did he have on someone like Brandon Routh, even when he shrunk a bit?
Editor Rob
he did look taller than routh and welling, but never as tall as 6ft 4 guys look. I could believe 6ft 3.5 peak and a half inch lost in 50's.
OriginalAnon said on 5/Apr/20
He has the dimensions of a guy who could pass for 6'4''. He can't be far off, still.
VitoCheng said on 21/Mar/20
Current: 6’3”25
Peak :6’4”
My guess
Vsquad said on 3/Jan/20
Rob, Lars was recently in The Witcher with Henry Cavill. In the first episode they already had scenes together walking side by side, and Cavill only seemed an inch shorter at most.
Would you say it was a simple footwear disadvantage on Lars' end? I'm not sure about that because later in the episode you can see Cavill's footwear, and it only looks like a regular boot or dress shoe heel.
Editor Rob
I'd need to watch it again to see

His head is quite large!
Nik said on 28/Jun/19
I like both back-to-back photographs of Rob and Lars Mikkelsen! He really does look to be at least 6'3" and the average vote (6'3.2" after 22 votes!) is very realistic for his nowadays height!
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 20/Jan/19
6ft3½ is the least I'd argue for him peak, nowadays he does look more 6ft3 flat though
Bobby said on 19/Jan/19
He looks fractionally taller on the left picture than on the right. Was that back when he was still at peak height? The left picture I mean.
Editor Rob
Compared to Benedict that weekend (on left) he did seem 4 inches taller, so 6ft 3 and over range, but I think by last few years he won't be over 6ft 3, last time I seen him I think 6ft 3 was how he looked.
Sandy Cowell said on 27/Dec/18
Facially, Lars and Mads look SO ALIKE!
Height-wise, however, Lars is all of 3+ inches taller - but he doesn't make hilarious beer adverts, like Mads for us Brits to laugh at! 😂🍺👌
I would love to see Lars acting in something some day soon! I'll have to check out what's available... 😀
Peak - 6ft3.5
Now - 6ft3
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 3/Nov/18
Still looks at least 6ft3
Zampo said on 24/Oct/18
On the left photo, looks 6'3.5-6'3.75 (192 cm). On the right photo, he is tilting is head slightly down, I reckon if he looked straight would be about 6'3 flat.
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 13/Oct/18
Rob, do you think Lars could be more like 192cm peak and still holding 191cm?
Editor Rob
Well it's not too impossible...
Jakob said on 10/Oct/18
Rob, isn't he a little young to lose a whole half inch? Also, I noticed a lot of posts by another 'Jakob'; if he was on this site first should I change my username? It's my real name so convenient but if the other was created first I could get a new one.
Editor Rob
By 50's some guys will lose a cm, others won't till their mid 60's.
It's fine to post with Jakob.
LB Jones (6' 2 1/8) said on 9/Oct/18
Rob should pose like this back to back with every celeb from now on for consistency. At least in these photos, Rob and the celeb have the same posture and are in line with one another making it far easier to judge. Lars looks around 6'2.5 here. Cannot accurately gauge his brother though. i'd say 5'11 maybe.
Sandy Cowell said on 26/Sep/18
I have chosen Lars Mikkelsen as a prime example of Danish guys. He's a huge 6ft3 - and looks it too! The Danes featured on this website average out at over 6ft, which goes to show what a tall bunch these Viking lads are!
@ Myself - Maybe he's lost some height as a result of thinning bones, though this does seem to be more of a female problem. A half-inch loss at 54 does seem a bit excessive, especially for a man.
I will go for 6ft3.5 peak and half-an-inch less for today's height.
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 30/Jun/18
Chances he hold 6'3 1/8 than a flat 6'3 now.
MAD SAM said on 18/Jun/18
Over 192 cm at his peak, 191 cm right now hopefully won’t lose any more height
Myself said on 15/May/18
Only 54 years old now and such a great loss?!
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 5/May/18
Rob, maybe 6ft3⅝ peak?
That’s really 192cm on the nose
Editor Rob
I suppose it could be arguable.
Tall Sam said on 13/Mar/18
He could probably claim 6'4" if he was so inclined and be believed, with his slender build he kind of looks near it in these photos.
Jordan87 said on 12/Mar/18
@ Jim Hopper,
He is clearly taller than 6'2 in the picture to the right. What is this crazy talk?
Jordan87 said on 12/Mar/18
I can tell you he aint no 176lbs in the photo with Rob.
Christian-6'5 3/8 said on 8/Feb/18
We don’t even know what time his measurement took place, neither if he was measured as low as 191.5 or high as 192.4
Dream(5'9.5 said on 7/Feb/18
Rob, when someone (In this case, Lars Mikkelsen) is measured at 192 cm (or 6'3.59") would it usually mean that he was in the 192 cm range or just roughly that range?
Either way, I think 6'3.5" is the lowest I would argue for Lars.
Editor Rob
I think anybody measuring will call out whatever mark the person is closer to...of course somebody could be 192.3 or 191.5 and the same person might call out 192.
Bobby said on 19/Jan/18
He looks taller than 6'3 on the left picture, and closer to 6'2 on the right picture.

Rob, out of curiosity, who left you with a taller impression, Lars Mikkelsen or Guy Henry?

both can look similar actually...it's possible Henry would measure a little more at peak than Lars.
Dreampuffe(5'9.5") said on 30/Dec/17

He looks shorter in the pic on the right because he is looking slightly down, which lowers his eye level etc.

dreampuff, hey buddy, it’s me slim. I’m not editorrob, but I would classify 6’4” as the start of the very tall range, considering I saw a few 6’4” men recently, they’re giants, they never blend into the crowd, they’re tall, forever..............
I’d say Lars physical prime is 192.0 Cm.
Dreampuffe(5'9.5") said on 14/Dec/17
He’d be taller than the Rock claiming 6’5”! 🤣🤣🤣😝😝😝
Rob, since you mentioned 6’2” is classic tall, what would you classify Lars at?
travis said on 4/Dec/17
he 6'3 but he isnt over 6'3 anymore meaning by that he shrunk about a fraction so he 6'3 barefooted
Dreampuffe(5'9.5 said on 25/Nov/17
Rob, would you say Lars is the most legit 6’3.5” person you’ve met?
Editor Rob
I think in his 40's he would be near it, but nowadays can't see him over 6ft 3.
Johno said on 9/Nov/17
Gave him lowest listing i guess.
Junior said on 3/Nov/17
Lars claim 6'3 and always look this tall. Maybe rob met him in the morning and had a bit less shoes than Lars and forget he could had chance taller for a morning measurement so listed him 6'3.5" at first and second time later in the day he drop to his lowest 6'3.
Christian-6'5 3/8 said on 25/Oct/17

Mark(5'9.25") said on 22/Feb/17
Maybe, but I get a taller impression from Lars than say Zachary Levi and
Chris Hemsworth.
S.J.H said on 15/Jan/17
I think Lars Mikkelsen falls in a very solid 6'3 like between 190.5-191cm that is why rob put him down at 6'3 instate of 6'3.25
Sandy Cowell said on 9/Jan/17
I have just gone through the comments to find out if Lars and Mads are brothers and I find that they are, which is fantastic to know when you find things like that as interesting as I do! The only clue was the name and by that I include his first name, which I know to be Danish.
I haven't seen Lars in anything as yet. I wonder if he's as good as his brother? Is that even possible?
Mark(5'9.25 said on 26/Dec/16
For some reason, he looks 6'4" or a bit over in the picture.
I would say 6'3.75" at peak without question. And 6'3.25" now. He gives a similar impression to Roland Mann.
S.J.H said on 11/Nov/16
I did rule out his more 191cm than 190.5cm and he look pretty close to 6'3.5 guy henry frame and lanky proportion
S.J.H said on 9/Nov/16
Rob, didn't you think just 6'3 seem too low? I can't see him under 6'3.25 else where
Editor Rob
well I think he has lost a fraction of height as he reached 51-2 range.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 8/Oct/16
Editor Rob: I think 10 years ago he was measured at that 6ft 3.5 zone. At the sherlock event I seen him up close a few times that weekend and he might be anywhere in 6ft 3-3.5 range.
In that case
Peak: 192-193cm
Today: 191-192cm
Mark said on 30/Sep/16
He doesn't look under 6'3" and easily gives a taller impression of near 6'4"

I think 10 years ago he was measured at that 6ft 3.5 zone. At the sherlock event I seen him up close a few times that weekend and he might be anywhere in 6ft 3-3.5 range.

It's quite thin, yes. I don't know about "rail thin". At 192 cm I think 70 kg is more what I'd call rail thin.
Anyways, I think 6'3.5" is bang on for Lars.

He's a strong 6'3", but he doesn't say he's 6'4". Wow, respect. And his ectomorphic build makes him look taller.

In the picture, Lars looks like he's Max Von Sydow's long lost son, even the same build, size and posture.

Lars Mikkelsen looks Danish/Scandinavian. I've also thought Mads looks more eastern European.
Arch Stanton said on 1/Apr/14
Manganiello said in another interview his brother is 6'7 rather than 6'8" which looks about right.
Sam said on 10/Mar/14
I agree they look fairly different. Mads Mikkelsen is another famous actor who seems to be the runt in stature of a bunch of tall brothers (although, from what I know, Lars is is only sibling). Other examples I can think of are John Krasinski, Eric Bana and, so he claims, Joe Manganiello. On the hand, Alexander Skarsgard seems to be the tallest or nearly the tallest of that family.
Arch Stanton said on 9/Mar/14
I hadn't realized it was his brother. Something familiar about the broad cheekbones but aside from that not much resemblance and a lot taller!
Sam said on 18/Feb/14
He looks right around 6'4" here to me. With his brother Mads, he generally looks from 2 to 3 inches taller, slightly less difference than their pictures with Rob would suggest.

No, Ali baba. Ryan actually had to be given a half-inch. He was one of those rare listings that was actually closer to 6'5" than 6'4" and had to be boosted accordingly.
Dietmar said on 13/Feb/14
Martin Freeman is 4cm shorter than Rob. In this shot the difference is about 20-22cm. That would give Lars about 189-191cm.
Click Here
Its obvious the camera angle is giving Lars an extra inch with Rob.
Editor Rob
the guy was measured 192cm several years ago...it's one of the few agencies who took and publish many measurements for actors...see the link at top, lots of body measurements...
Balrog said on 12/Feb/14
Rob but maybe 6'3.75'' is more accurate, that still is 192cm. I agree with everyone here. He looks solid 6'4'' to me.

Perhaps McPartlin isn't a legit 6'4"?

Looks bigger here, like a human ladder. Gives a 6'5" impression here to me.
MD said on 12/Feb/14
Actually, Rob, just go to your page with Ryan McPartlin. This guy looks at least as tall against you as 6'4.5" McPartlin did.
Editor Rob
Ryan is a good inch taller...
The photographer Marko is close (1.5-2 feet away)...
I don't have as wide an angle as Marko uses with his camera, but here is the effect with my lense -
Jenny at 192cm and me on the device (the platter is reversed to jenny's side at the top)...I am standing similar to what I'm doing with Lars, but of course the top of my head is further away so appears shorter. When you shoot close (my camera is about 2.5 feet away) you can enhance differences...
MD said on 12/Feb/14
Rob, it truly looks as if he were to stand straight or maybe just even face you, he'd have a just about a full head on you. I can't see him being under 6'4" unless there was some kind of major footwear difference between the two of you. He looks HUGE next to you.
Dietmar said on 12/Feb/14
Looks like a strong 6'4 to me.
