Marc Maron's Height
5ft 9 (175.3 cm)
American comedian and actor, known for appearing in TV series Glow. Each year on twitter, he carefully reminds people of his height, consistently claiming that he's "5'11" and in a Wired interview "I believe I'm still 5' 11, though I am getting older, I might shrink a little."

After reviewing a bunch of photos with him and several guests, I think he can seem a strong 5’9”, maybe 5’9.25”. He holds up pretty well a lot. His 5’11” claim is ludicrous of course but it’s easy to imagine him standing well in large boots early in the day (especially when younger) hitting in the mark.

Has always looked 5’8.5” to me, at least in his 50s (he’s had a very long stand-up career).

Watch the fighter and the kid podcast he’s wearing boot with a two inch heel they look larger enough to have a lift inside them too. That’s the whole reason I came here is bc of his ridiculous boots. He’s got to only be 5’9’’.

There is something very unlikable about lying about your height to this extent. Maybe it reflects poor character or something, like an inflated sense of ego or a refusal to deal with reality. It's basically the opposite of humility.

Here he is with 6'0" Steve Jones (guitarist of the Sex Pistols). Steve's 63 now, so he might be down to 5'11.25" today (at the lowest). Either way, Marc's at least 5'9"-5'9.5" Click Here

In this video from 7:56-8:02 Click Here he says 5'11 but acknowledges that he is growing older hence shrinking.

He's 5'10" at least. Watch GLOW and you'll realise.

This is why 5'11 guys are average, thanks Marc Maron for being the epitome of why 5'11 is not above average. 5'11.5-75 here and this is why I say 6' because people take me seriously and my height in most shoes. I actually like saying 5'11 but it's from idiots like these that make me change my mind.

Good comedian, got a big head but his body makes him look smaller. 5'9 at best.

Here Marc looks a bit shorter than Henry Rollins who is 175cm but it could be the angle and also it looks like Rollins is standing more upright than Maron. Click Here
Henry has also stated he's 5'10" (178), as well as 5'9" (175), so he's somewhere in between the 2 heights today at 56 years old and looked it next to Joe Rogan recently. Henry is THE MOST honest and humble guy around. Again, worst case scenario, Marc Maron is a flat 5'9", but he can be as high as 5'9.5".

Here Maron looks shorter than 179cm James Franco. Click Here
It seems that Maron would be in the 174-177cm range. 177cm would be the absolute max. I think though that 175cm would be a pretty good guess.

Editor Rob as Danimal had said, you can make a case for marc being 5ft 9-9.5 range, maybe he is 5ft 9 at worse.

Rob, could we just give him 5ft9?
He's definitely miles from his claim but the current mark seems a bit torturous...He wouldn't be the first guy to abide by the 2in rule but the 2¼in rule!

Editor Rob it was my estimate after looking at him, but you could make a case for 5ft 9

I worked at a comedy club years ago and he came in all the time. I am 5'10" and he was at least my height. He is NOT 5'9" or smaller.

This guy is a solid 5'8, my friend and I saw this guy and he looked short and we met him off stage and he was much shorter than me and my friend, we are both in the 5'11 range and wore about .5 inch sneaker so almost 6'. Marc was wearing dress shoes and it looked like he had inch and a half shoe because we saw him sitting on a chair with his shoe and sock and his ankle was visible and looked that he was obviously wearing lifts. He looked almost 5'10 with the shoes though. I do believe Maron has lost height by at least .75 inch. Anyways that's what I saw I couldn't really give a good guess because of the shoes. Little more than 5ft 8.25 is my best guess

I just don't get it. How do you get 5'11 when you're 5'9??? This kind of lying just irritates me.

He looks 5.5-6 inches shorter than Obama. Even if Obama had an extra 0.5 inches in footwear that would still make him nearer to 5'8 than 5'9.

If he would have claimed 5'10", that would still be forgivable. But why claim 2inches over your height.

If he was truly 5'11", he wouldn't have to remind people he isn't short as he apparently did in a tweet. Only tall people with severe complexes would call a 5'11" man short.
