She's not even close to 5'6"!She's 5'5,5".Did you watch "The Heartbreak Kid"?She's the same height as Ben Stiller and she was not wearing flats.
She's slim.It deceaves the audience.
But she heights 1,66 m

@Rob
Didn't realize that you had so many Sweidh actresses on here, let alone a whole category for them. I don't imagine Sweden being a huge market for the film indsutry.

Editor RobCompared to finland/norway (half population) there is a lot more listed. Probably a few older generation swedish actresses that raises the numbers up a bit too.

I didn't realize you met her husband, Rob... shouldn't that be enough to conclude she's at least closer to 5'7 than 5'8? He generally looks AT LEAST as tall as her in heels (sometimes even taller)!
5'7 or a fraction over definitely looks much more believable than anywhere near 5'8.
Not really taller than Michelle Monaghan, who only claims 5'7 herself: Click Here

Editor Robwith Jack I can see how 5ft 7 seems possible, I think 171 range might be the most I could argue.

I'm baffled by her comment "I'm only five-eight"!
Yeah, now a real 5 ft 8 woman should be comfortably tall enough to never say that but she is from Sweden which is among the tallest nations. I do rather like her, she looks like she could be a naughty girl haha! She can look a lot like Lindsey Vonn in some pictures.

She was taller than Tom Cruise in Rock of ages by half an inch so she's at least a strong 5'8
She might even be 174

She was born in Sweden to Swedish parents. So the average height there is 5 ft 7 I think for women. A bit like an English or American man saying they're 'only' 5 ft 10 - we know what they mean. Meaning - barely above average, and not tall by Swedish standards.

I'm not buying the 5'8" listing. Lot of people here are right. She's more 5'7", even a bit less isn't impossible.

Saw her on "Lip Sinc Battle". The height difference between her (wearing wedged sneakers) and LL Cool J is the same as the height difference between Anne Hathaway and LL Cool J, and the same as the height difference between 5'7 Emily Blunt (wearing regular sneakers) and LL Cool J. So Malin is 5'7 max!

I doubt it, Matt! You can see her with Alexander Skarsgard (who isn't even standing at his tallest with that "pose"): Click Here
If anything, she's under 5'8... 5'7.5 at best!

I just met her an hour ago and I would say she is a solid 5 ft 8. I was surprised, I didn't know she was tall. I am a little over 5 ft 9 and she was almost as tall as me

You might want to downgrade her. Met her a couple of years ago, even took a photo with her. She was at least 2 inches shorter than me, while wearing high heel boots (it was winter).
I would say 5'7" max

Both Katherine Heigl and Malin in flats Click Here
Even if we consider their posture, Malin is still more than 1" shorter than Katherine.

She's shorter than 5'7 Sandra Bullock by at least an inch in "The Proposal". Couldn't see their footwear though.

She is 5'7 at best. There's no way she's 5'8. The height difference between her and Katherine Heigl isn't only a half inch.

She's listed as 5'7" elsewhere.
Which is about what she looks like in most films... tall, but not very tall.

Got to be pretty close. I watched a clip of her on Craig Ferguson (listed at 6'1.5"), and she looked 1.5" shorter in heels. Tall girl.

Don't know Rob, she could be 5'8, she is not towered over by legit 5'11 Taylor Swift. She became a model before an actress, so she might be saying the truth at 5'8.

Met her in Sweden. About 5'11(180 cm) with really high heels 4-5 inch => 5'6-7. Her little sister were tall though.

Met her today in SOuth Africa she is shooting the Bang Bang Club and at 5'10 I am taller than her by a few inches. I would say she is 5'6.5 no taller. Definitely not 5'8 - my girlfriend is 5'8 and Malin Akerman is not as tall as her.

I just saw a clip of Akerman on Leno from 2007. She walked across the stage wearing 5 maybe 4 inch heals. I paused the video to check. Leno, who's 5'11 greeted her and they were the same height. Dana Carvey, 5'8, who was a guest, was about 3 inches shorter. That would make Malin between 5'6 and 5'7.

I doubt if she is 5'7. Check her out here (fake tour with silk specter):

The nerds in the video are clearly so much taller than her. She is probably only around 5'4- 5'5.
