He's 5'11.25 (181.5cm). No more than that, believe you me. I met him back in 2014. I am 5'9 but had boots on that made me 5'9.5 and he looked only a couple of inches taller just slightly. All the photos here he has his hand around you to give better posture.

Editor RobHe could look a bit shorter than that actor, though I'm not familiar whether he is 182cm or not.
Could be a case by mid 50's Mads has now lost a fraction of height.

While I get the 182 cm votes, he definitely looks 10 cm taller than Rob in the second picture. He's slouching in the other pictures so I wouldn't rely on them

Can look roughly the same height as Benedict Cumberbatch in some pics, but generally looks taller than a fraction compared to him. Mads gets the full 6ft for me

I think the listing is fair, a small edge on Benedict Cumberbatch. He was very good in Hannibal but I found his version plenty detestable, he was more physically imposing than other Lector’s and the way he used his seductive intellect to victimize almost every other character made my skin crawl. He was amazing and so different in The Hunt and Another Round, in his native country roles, he is one of the worlds best living leading men.

I hadn’t sat and watched Hannibal, Season One, for nine years, and never on my own. Having seen this Season in the space of just over a day, I can honestly say it disturbed me.
I was previously blinded by Mads’ Hannibal’s amazing brainpower and, by joking with my boyfriend about ways and means of offending his taste for impeccable manners at, for instance, one of his famous and much-prized dinner parties, it softened the sting somewhat. Yes, this took away from the seriousness of the scheming plot, and how a brilliant doctor/psychologist could stitch up a vulnerable, sweet man, Will Graham, with his unspeakable crimes. I was in tears.
On the big screen, Anthony Hopkins played a man who was easy to detest, but Mads played his charming side, doubtless far more true to Thomas Harris’s novels.
Mads is a first rate actor though; indeed he must be for this to have had such a profound impact on me. I’ve seen him play a mentally fragile man as well in one of his movies.
I’m still in agreement with 5ft11.75, BTW! 🎬📽

Footwear is similar. Granted, he isn't standing straight, but even accounting for that a 5 inch difference is nowhere to be found. Must've shrunk a bit, I'd give him 5ft 10.5-5ft 11.

Hey, Rob! In some pictures of Mads and Thure Lindhardt, Mads seems to have a good edge on Thure. So, do you think that Mads is maybe closer to 183 or that Thure is maybe closer to 180 or 181? Thanks.

As Rob alluded to Mikkelsen might have lost his first semi-visible fraction.
In his 30s and 40s he could pull off looking the full 6'0 quite often. However, the 182cm listing his agency gave him seems like a honest figure and with Joel Edgerton and others he did same more like a strong 182cm/5'11¾ guy rather than a proper six-footer.
Now, he does appear a little shorter. As I have described earlier on this page, his posture is certainly a lot more variable now than in his James Bond days and he sometimes wears quite flat shoes, but even considering those factors it does seem likely that a little fraction of height loss has occured.
From what I've seen it doesn't warrant a downgrade yet, but I think it's bound to happen within a foreseeable future (he's 55, after all, and has led a very physically active lifestyle, doing a lot of his own stuntwork; he's also a smoker, which seems to accelerate height loss in some people a bit).
Would he measure 181cm or even lower today? I'm not sure, but I don't think so. He might appear that height to many people in daily life, but I think he pulls off around 5'11½ (could be slightly below it) under the stadiometer.

I do think most of the time he looked a comfortable 6 foot in Hannibal. Looked the same height, or sometimes a fraction taller than Lawrence Fishburne. But then again Lawrence may have lost a little height by that stage. And of course you always have to factor in camera angles. They can be generous.

I used to love watching 'Hannibal' with my boyfriend when it first came out and it wasn't long before I was laughing and joking and annoying the bf as regards the fact that, Hannibal, such an unscrupulous man, should be such a stickler for good manners.
One evening I interrupted the proceedings by asking Jim, "What do you think Uncle Hannibal (for that's what we called him) would do if I passed gas in front of him at one his carefully prepared dinner parties and stank the place out?"
Jim replied, "He'd kill you and eat you!"
I suppose he'd be having another dinner party very soon after his last one! 😃

DEFINITELY near my range - I'd safely put his height here or directly at 6'. Not to put you on the spot but I have a genuine question, Rob - do you consider later 5'11" and above as "tall" (as in Mads' case)? Do you believe it starts earlier - or much later? I've been curious to know your opinion in this regard.

Mikkelsen isn't standing as well as he used to. In almost every photo I see of him today he is either bending his knee, bending his neck, relaxing his back, etc. People need to take that into account.
This postural shift is why he can look a lot more like a 5'11 guy these days. However, I'm fairly confident that'd measure no lower than 5'11⅝.
Back in the day his agency listed him at 182cm. I think that's a very honest figure for Mads. A lot of guys his height claim 184-185cm, even taller heights at times.
Thinking back to the time when he used to stand with more erect posture, I still 5'11¾ is an entirely appropriate listing for Mads Mikkelsen.

I think he would measure somewhere in the 5'11.5-5'11.75 zone.
I absolutley agree, Zampo.
He will measure 181.7-182 cm as his height, no more. Mads a little bit taller than Peter Capaldi.
My opinion: 5'11.6" (181.8 cm).

I think he would measure somewhere in the 5'11.5-5'11.75 zone. If someone measures within this range at a low and has decent posture(so stands/walks near the measured height). It becomes quite difficult to distinguish such from flat 6'0. You can tell though that he is not quite in 5'11.75-6'0 range. 182 cm on the nose suits him well, I feel.

This makes me happy, my height is 182 cm with same body frame and if I can look as tall as Mads I am pretty happy about it 😃 I do consider 182 cm to be rounded off as 6 footer

I'm so fond of this Danish Knight and his ability to act as the chilling Hannibal Lector in the TV series 'Hannibal' and portray a victim in another production. The name of this I can't 100% remember, but it might be called 'The Hunt' or something similar. I bought it because Mads is in it, even though it is subtitled, but I still enjoyed it. Mads plays a teacher who is wrongly accused of untoward behaviour with a youngster. He is then victimised, a sharp, sharp contrast to the part we see him play in 'Hannibal'! He also has blue eyes in this, so must be wearing dark, brooding contact lenses for 'Hannibal'!
I wasn't too impressed watching him play an idiot in 'Casino Royale', and anyone who gets outwitted by James Bond is an idiot IMHO! Hannibal Lector wouldn't be! He'd turn Bond into a stew! However, in that film, which I bought to see Mads, Mads and only Mads, I'm sure LeChiffre's height is mentioned to be 6ft and an eighth of an inch! I wouldn't be at all surprised if Mr Mikkelsen is this height when he gets out of bed in the morning, going down to just under come the end of the day's events! I think I will go for a realistic 5ft11.75 as I can't give him 5ft11 and seven eighths!

I think 182 is a good listing. There looks to be a 3.5 inches height difference here. Add that to a 173 cm Rob and we get 182 cm. The fact Rob's eye-level (161.3 cm) aligns with his mouth tells me he ain't the full 6ft. My mouth height level is about (163.7 cm), this is roughly how I look with someone in the 174-175 cm range and I measure in the 183 cm range (5'11 7/8 at a evening low).

175lbs might be right for 52-year-old Mads Mikkelsen; he is bulkier than he was as a young man. When he started out I think his weight could look in the 155lb range.

On his own and sometimes at premieres he stands with immaculate, Henry Cavill-level posture. At other times, for example with friends, his posture is much more relaxed. With Joel Edgerton (listed at 5'10¾) I can't see an inch of difference, although he does edge him out. Mikkelsen, like many other actors, is lanky and can thus appear taller than he is, but 182cm seems fine.
With the new listing system I wouldn't categorically rule out 5'11⅝ at this point, but 5'11¾ is good for now.

Hey rob back on the slouching thing. I just went to my doctor and showed him that I have a bit of a curved neck from the back. Due to slouching over the years. But I don't think that I have lost any height though. Is that possible at the age of 21. He said going to the gym and working on my back muscles an correcting postures can fix my curved neck. So I just wanted your thought on that, at 21 years of age? Like I always thought because I'm growing still at 21 body matureity wise, so I thought that it wouldn't be a problem.

Editor Rob certain types of prolonged work or habits may well cause earlier spine curvature. I know Jenny has suffered this in her 40's, she dropped half inch in height, mainly confined to upper back/neck due to 5-6 years of intense craft-related work. Before that, her upper back was relatively normal.
I would definitely try to help posture by doing simply exercise, or decompression techniques (like hanging loose on a pull-up bar).

Beside Danish table tennis player Michael Maze, listed at 185cm, he looks 2-3cm shorter. Once again a strong 182cm seems like the mark he hits. Generally has excellent posture, possibly coming from his days as a professional dancer, and that can delude one into thinking Mikkelsen is a solid six-footer. In reality he is very close to but not quite 6'0.

A strong 182cm is the perfect listing for him, in my opinion. He stands up well to 6'1-6'2 guys, but he doesn't look hugely taller than a guy like Hugh Dancy, who is supposedly 5'9½. Incidentally, next to Rob he looks a lot like I look next to my strong 5'8 friend and I'm within a few milimeters of 183cm in the afternoon.

My question is, bad habits like slouching isn't particular bad at a young age because your still growing, or do you think it has a major effect still. Because it makes sense if your older and slouch, you can lose height but I would imagine that's not the case when your still young? Also what happened to your YouTube channel rob you stoped making videos.

Editor Rob bad posture habits when young, can mean over time our body adapts to it...we forget our youthful posture. Many of us aren't standing at our potential, our spines are out of alignment and our core/back muscles weak.
My time is better spent working on this site than on youtube just now, but I haven't totally dismissed doing any more.

Editor Rob Jenny has a bit upper spine curvature due to excessive craft work.
The nature of her work is spending hours at a desk in an unnatural position, mostly curved forward and this over times has contributed to her loss. Even though she's really only being doing it full time for about 4 years.
She has a sister a year younger who has barely lost anything.
as for Mads, his brother Lars is definitely a big 3 inches taller, I think his brother has lost a little height by his 50's.

From the various movies ive seen him in he looks 5 11 maybe 5 11 .5 his hair makes the photos a bit suspect.
He is a bit thin so that and an average posture gives a flat 5 11 appearance.
He is a good but underused actor seems to favor cheesy villains and the occasional hero support.

No more than 6'0" but no less, in mi opinion. In the second picture he have a better posture and looks like a strong 1.83, however he is a guy with perfect proportions so he appear to be more tall than he is.

Quite tall man. Amazing proportions. I'd argue 5ft 11.75in is close to perfect height, you can wear almost anything and look good. And you won't really be towered in 98% of the world. Average height in Denmark is 5'11", 181.4cm, according to a 100 year study recently released, and 180.4cm according to the military recruitment in Denmark as of 2016.

Walked past him and his son in a shopping centre in Denmark recently - this was from around a 10 feet distance, but Mads and I seemed quite close in height, but he was probably a bit shorter than me.. This was around lunchtime, which would put me at approximately 6' 0.75 - my estimate on his height was 182-183 cm range, this seems like a good listing!

Editor Rob I think larger amounts that have effected the alignment of the spine, which is then able to recover through some simple exercise, could result in measuring a bit taller. 25 pounds isn't a huge amount, a couple of stone...

Hey rob what's the best way to measure your height in your opinion, tape measure, stadimoeter, etc. also is it always wise to walk around for at least 20 mins before u measure your height.

Editor Rob anybody a couple mm under a mark is perfectly fine to round up...when it's 15mm, maybe not so much.
a tape measure is quite cheap. A dollar and most people have an object and some type of hard floor in their house to get a rough idea (within 1/4 inch) of their true height.

I'm from Denmark myself and I think 5'10.5" is too low. I think 5'11" or 5'11.25" is more like it, at least among the younger generation. In fact, the average height of enlisted full grown men is usually 5'11" on the money.
However, hal is not wrong to say that 6'0" is a very common height in Denmark and that you are considered of rather average height at 6'0". At 6'1" or 6'1.5" people will start to call you tall in Denmark, in my experience.

I doubt he's lost height at his age but yeah the listing is accurate IMO and he is near average for his country.
I admire his version of Hannibal but for two reason, he's too superhuman, I know they want him to be like a fallen angel but I've grown tired of him always having the upper-hand (they didn't even let Will Graham catch him, he just turns himself in to toy with the other characters) and makes wish at times for Hopkins (only in Silence of the Lambs) and Cox in Manhunter who were savage, brilliant monsters but still human. The other is that sometimes I have trouble understanding his lines through his accent.

Editor Rob look at some wrestlers who in 50's and 60's lose more than normal.
Exercise and impact on a smaller scale isn't that bad, loading with weight on limbs is fine, it's excessive weight bearing and loads that can do long term damage. Also some people might be more genetically susceptible to losing bone density and their discs degenerate faster than others.

Editor Rob being active is good, being supple is great.
Overdoing it may cause problems. If you do something long-term, involving physical impacts (like stunts or like wrestlers who are involved in a sport with impacts) then your discs over time may degenerate faster.

Editor Rob I think if you are young and want to try to maximise or even say beat what your potential might be, then get active, get your body producing as much GH. Of course as I always say, a combination of exercise/sleeping well/eating and destressing yourself might all be little factors to gaining as much as possible. Stretching could help a bit (how much exactly is always debatable and unknown really), but in all things, be careful and don't overdo things.

Editor Rob some people will make it to 70 and only lose a small fraction. It's a small percentage though and it helps if you maintain a healthy lifestyle and keep your back muscles working and avoid injuries and too much wear and tear. I don't think mads will have lost anything.

He's pretty close to six feet IMO. If he's a sub-six footer as listed, I'd guess Laurence Fishburne is as much as a quarter-inch under that, Fishburne never looked taller IMO and sometimes Mikkelsen seemed to edge him out.

I thought he looked near 10 cm taller than you in that top photo Rob? Did he have a slight footwear-advantage perhaps? 182,5 cm at least for Mads Mikkelsen, good height.

@Dolkite: that is just you. Maybe you don't consider him tall but it is definitely tall to the vast majority of people, being around 85th percentile.

Yeah Rob Mads definatley does look a weak 6ft especially with Daniel Craig in Casino royale who is a strong 5ft 10, fine example of an 182cm man that would appear like with a 5ft 8 man, 182cm seems dead on accurate for him he has pretty good posture in the left picture, what do you think Rob, maybe 5ft11.75 is classed as tall?

this guy is really 182cm, depending on the shoe that he uses can be 181cm

Ivana Milicevic was the Croatian actress I was thinking of, not Czech. She's listed at 5'9" and did look about an inch taller than him in big heels.

I watched Casino Royale yesterday on DVD and I must admit I thought he looked 6'1" range I'd probably have guessed 185cm. He definitely looked tall compared to the bald weird looking bodyguard in it and the other cast except the blond girl in it, Czech I think she is who looks very tall range probably near 5'10" legit and was wearing heels. So on film I'd say generally people can look taller than they really are. But I was also looking at Daniel Craig in the film and in the whipping naked scene he looked bang on average in size. I'd guessed he was 5'9.5"-5'10" barefoot. Somebody said they though Craig looked six foot as Bond, couldn't see it myself. I think he did look taller in Quantum of Solace though as I think he was wearing lifts and Gemma Anderton is near his height so might have looked like a legit 5'11" in that film.

No, far from all Scandinavians look like Dolph Lundgren. I'd say we are mostly brown/ash blond-haired. A Spaniard once got chocked over how Swedes actually looked, and remarked that "we looked like the French". LOL.

Average height for a Danish guy. But he doesn't exactly look Nordic now does he. Looks more like he is from Greece or the Balkans like Croatia/Bulgaria/Montenegro than Denmark. Although I guess not all Danish men look like the Aryan stereotype like Peter Schmeicel.

I'm surprised you thought he had 5 inches on Craig, when they square up to each other at the poker table they are almost identical, obviously Craig may have had lifts on which would have lifted him to Mads height

For some reason in the pic there really does not look to me as much as 3.5 inches? An illusion perhaps? But anyway i think 5'11.75 is just a few mmm too much so maybe just 5'11.5 (182cm) for this guy. his hairstlye is prorbably also adding a just tiny fraction to his height.
This is how tall i think he measures during the day
6ft (183cm) morning.
5'11.75 (182cm) lunchtime
5'11.5 (182cm) afternoon
possibly 5'11.25 (181cm) before bed after a long day on his feet????????
I think at night he could fluctuate between 181-182cm?

Without a doubt one of my fav actors - but could he be a cm taller at 183cm (exactly 6ft)? Perhaps so. Mads is the real star of "Clash of the Titans", i have no doubt! And i cant wait to see him as Count Rochfort in new version of the Three Musketeers.
