Mark Owen's Height
5ft 5 (165.1 cm)
English Singer, from Take That. In the Sunday Mirror he was described as "5FT 7IN. Mark's lack of inches didn't prevent him achieving sex-god status. He is the perfect height for 12-year-old girls".

A common perception of me is… That I’m 6ft 4in. I’m 5ft 7in. People say I look much taller on the TV and I always say “you must have a big telly!”
-- The Independent, 2005 (Nov 25)
Mark was an Elvis fan, even dressing up as 'The King', which must have been quite funny to witness because he is only 5ft 5in tall.

@Rob Yes, I'm sure he is no less 167 cm (5'5.75) because he was similar to footballer Edgar Davids when they were challenging in 2014 Soccer Aid match. Davids is 169 cm. But Mark Owen's body structure makes them appear a little shorter

Editor Rob roughly 5ft 6 I think is ok, at times he may well look a bit less

In the ball park anyway, 5 ft 7 was always a joke for him. He's tiny if you seem him in comparison to some. 5'4.5"-5'5.5" somewhere in that range, 5'5" is a reasonable guess.

all those that think that he's small, i suppouse you are a really good singer &
you globally famous
--------------------
He is small. No one is saying it's bad to be small, people are just debating it. A lot of people on here are the missing the point of this website, it's to debate the height of people! No one has said he isn't talented, famous, sex, rich or good looking.

Height, age, etc, they are all just numbers. What about personality? Some people are so shallow, but you can't please everyone. Mark is perfect for Emma and that's all that matters! BTW, I'm 5ft 3inches, but I don't care cause the people that matter to me love me just the way I am!

I saw Mark on a bike ride last week. The rumours are true - he is very short and definitely no more than 5'5.

Why are you all making fun of my husband's height? He may be a little shorter than me but when he saw this he was upset!

What the hell is that? 5'7 is perfect for 12 year-old girls? Can't believe it. Most people don't know how a true 5'7 guy looks like. It's actually pretty close from average
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
haha, frustrated arent we? thats plain short.

Doesn't matter if he is 5'6 or 5'7 or so called short. He is a great singer and composer of a highly talented band

Yeah I don't believe any of the people saying he is bigger than 5'5" just look at pics of him with other celebs, he is smaller than people who claim to be 5'7". By the way the Sunday Mirror is crap.

I spent a night out with Mark Owen when Take That did a promo tour in Australia March 07. He was the same height as me and I'm 5ft 6'.
I actually thought he would have been shorter...

My wife worked in a hairdressers in a Manchester hotel got quite a few famous people in, Mark owen is about 5ft 6 in shoes. so the listed height is about right. My wife is 5ft tall and she said he was short.

aaargh - don't know how to prove it.. I do have photos.. Now I am paranoid there was a heel on his shoe.. but then there must have been when you saw him too, so he'd be the same height?! 5'5 is waaay short for a guy. He's not that short. Not that I'd complain either way ;)

No way! He's no taller than 5'5", I saw him several times in person. He is very short and skinny. Reminded me of Pocoyo, only without the blue hat...

I met him a couple of years ago, he was doing a promotion at the HMV in the local shopping centre. He was 5'5", no way was he 5'7", he even made a joke about his height.

You know Rob, now that you've started adding my fellow Mancunians, perhaps you could also add Johnny Marr, Ian Brown, Shaun Ryder and the rest of the now-forgotten-former-hype-musicians... I haven't heard of any Stone Roses reunions yet, but one never knows ;)

Brilliant quote, Rob! As I described on Barlow's page, I physically overgrew Owen when I was 13, and soon after that I overgrew Take That music as well. Mark did try later on to become this credible indie rock musician. Too bad he couldn't sing (still can't).
