Matt Lucas Height
5ft 5 ½ (166.4 cm)
English actor and comedian, best known for Little Britain and Doctor Who. On Twitter he said "I'm 5 ft 6 and a half so rounding up that's 6 foot". In this photo I had near 1 inch Nikes, whilst Matt had Vans, which are about 1/3rd of inch less than mine.

Needs a downgrade. A legit 5'5.5" guy would not look that short next to a 5'8-8.5 guy. This guy looks 5'4 in the photo with you

I do not see this listing being accurate. Downgrade by a good half inch is probably needed, but I would need to look at more pics to be sure.

Editor RobUp at 6am, getting breakfast from 7.30, out door from hotel at 8, in venue and doing stuff and on feet...believe me, by the time I get most photos I will be closer to 173cm than 174...however Matt's claim of 5ft 6.5 is I think a bit much, I feel he probably got measured 5ft 5.5 or 6.5 in shoes.

Editor RobI'd say we were about same. I'd have said the camera is more likely to have knocked half inch from his height in that photo, than him actually being say 5ft 5 flat.
Taller in person (with less footwear) than a 5ft 4.5 guy like Carl Frampton.

Good for him, for wearing footgear that makes him appear shorter at an already fragile height.
Although I must say, if you give him 0.4 inches, he just barely clears 5'5". Not sure about 5'5.5", but who cares?

@ Rob - Well you're the one who's met him! Do you think 5ft5 and an eighth is a possibility? Matt might be posing for this picture in a disadvantaged position.
He has a funny little Christmas advert going right now and I'll compare him to the people in it, if I can concentrate long enough without laughing!
'Little Britain' was a truly original comedy series, and I would love to dig some of my DVD's of it out!

Editor Rob5ft 5 would my lowest guess, 5ft 5.5 about my highest...so anywhere amidst that is possible.
Sandy Cowell said on 12/Nov/18
2 and-a-half inches difference? Matt looks more like half a head, and even if Rob is 5ft8.5 in this picture, that wouldn't mean half a head!
I think it's a possibility that Matt could be under 5ft5, to the tune of half-an-inch. What do you think, Rob? I feel compelled to give him 5ft4.5, but will opt for the slightly higher option of 5ft4.75 - this time!

You make a good point. There are some celebs whose heights look all over the place, depending on pics. But I will say that Rob's pics are very good indicators as to what height celebs are that stand next to him, compared to pics with just celebs, because we know for sure that Rob's 5'8 1/8", and he tells us the notable amount of footwear difference if there was one.

Danimal, how can he be "under 5'4"", when he comfortably clears that mark (look at the height chart) with 0.4 inches less footwear? I agree that, even considering his footwear disadvantage, he certainly doesn't look over 5'5 here, but he doesn't look much under it either.

@Christian, this is why I believe Rob's photo's are mostly helpful in narrowing the range that you feel someone may measure within. When it comes to arguing whether someone is 5'6 or 5'7.5, yes it has it's value but once we get within the inch e.g. deciding if someone is a weak or strong six footer, I don't think it helpful making a decision on single snapshot.
In this photo I would give Lucas 5'4.75-5'5 but I've made my assessment beyond the photo as I've seen him with others and doubt he would measure that low.

Editor RobI can see why some would think that from seeing the photos, though being a nice guy or not has nothing to do with guessing their height 😺
In person Feldman looked a solid enough 5ft 5 range, he had a fraction more footwear.
Matt in person looked closer to 5ft 5, but with 0.4 inch less footwear. And has no hair, Feldman I would say had at least 2cm of hair at his crown.

How tall is that guy? A weak 5'5? I mean, I know he can seem over that range with many celebrities, but I'm sure that many of them don't stand as tall as they can when they take pictures with short(er) people like him, which I guess is the reason why you say that "taking photos at several inches shorter than 5ft 8 might be a trickier task to do".

Maybe you could explain why He seems at least 0.75in shorter than this listing; posture? impression? problem with picture? only shoes disadvatage doesn't make so big differences...

This other con goer had a photo showing Matt could edge him out Click Here. There's a few pages of photo ops and I'd say it is useful looking through his collection to see how taking photos at several inches shorter than 5ft 8 might be a trickier task to do.
