Matthew Marsden's Height
6ft 2 ½ (189.2 cm)
English actor known for appearing on TV shows Coronation Street and films Rambo, Bounty Killer and Resident Evil: Extinction. In a UGO Interview he spoke of height: "When you're six-foot-two, you never get cast as so and so's best friend because I'm usually so much taller than the lead actor. It's an interesting quandary because when I came to America to audition they aren't going to put me next to whatever actor because it will make them look small. When I did the movie Shiner, I worked with Michael Caine, who was very tall, so that wasn't a problem. When I do auditions with female actors, sometimes I feel like I have the role until they ask me to stand next to the woman."

Rob, maybe 6ft2¼?
He only claims 6ft2, never heard him say 6ft3. He might be one of those guys whose a bit over it and just doesn't bother with the fraction. He edged McTavish in Rambo so he can't be any less though.

Taller than I would have guessed. Anything over 6'2 flat is tall for Hollywood. He posts regularly on Twitter, seems unusually conservative minded for an actor, much like Kevin Sorbo. There's an odd dynamic which exists on there with celebrities though in that they post regularly, but don't want to have a conversation and interact with the regular public.

It wasn't him after all! It was the son of Denise Welch's character, a fact that I realized when I saw the son, Tony, standing with a properly TALL girl, Maxine!

I barely recognised Matthew as Chris on Classic Coronation Street with his newly bleached blond hair, but the height was a dead giveaway!

I never really took in what a nice guy Matthew played in 'Coronation Street', as Chris, the first time round. He is very kind, sympathetic and a good, faithful friend into the bargain!
6ft2.5. 😁👍

In today's Classic 'Coronation Street' episode, Matthew's Chris said to his girlfriend Angie Freeman, played by the University-educated actress turned playwright, petite Deborah McAndrew, that he was concerned the two of them don't have enough time together. Angie replied that they have the bedroom, adding "...which is where it matters!"
I was pleasantly surprised to hear how Chris reacted. "Sometimes I think that's all that you think about," he added, pensively.
It's usually the male partner who's accused of thinking that way, so it was refreshing to see a deep-thinker of a young man, even if it was written into the storyline of a Soap. 🤔
On occasion, I've come across sweet-natured fellows in my lifetime, for whom love is far more than an act which takes place in private. That's how relationships thrive, after all, and friendship is something that lasts forever and always.

This morning's Classic Corrie:
📺 Matthew's Chris has just served up a meal for his girlfriend and pretended it was crocodile! 🐊😟
She was totally horrified, and rightly so, but it turned out to be.....
LAMB! 🐑
Boy, he looks tall, especially next to Kevin, so 6ft2.5 it'll be. 😁👍

Matthew has recently started in 'Classic Coronation Street'. Who'd have thought he'd have ended up a Hollywood star? It's happened before with Soap Star (Anna Friel), among others, and there are plenty more opportunities and places to be filled.
6ft2.5 😀🎬

Editor RobI think Mattew has claimed both 6ft 2 and 3, he seems taller than 6ft 2 flat in any case.

I thought he look 6'3 in Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid. I can't see him under 6'3 in this movie and he can pull off 6'3.25" but maybe his footwear was thick. I guess 190cm for him fits better. I'll go with 6'2.75"

He looks every inch of 6'2. That said his quote is an exaggeration, there are plenty of lead actors within the 6'2 range, probably more so than the 5'9 range where it starts to become noticeable. I also wouldn't describe Michael Caine as very tall, in fact at 6'1 he's only a couple of inches above average even for a non-celebrity.

He is surprisingly tall. He gives a 5'11" impression in a lot of films, but he was close in height to Josh Duhamel and looked this in comparison. He doesn't look nearly 6 inches taller than Stallone though but Stallone must be in "the shoes".

Rob, there was a scene on Two and a Half men and Marsden was taller than Kutcher, both listed here at 6'2.5'', Marsden looked near an inch taller than Kutcher but I think he had footwear advantage, still think he would edge out Ashton...

He is a legit 6'2" he was same as Ashton Kutcher in Two and a Half Men. Also looked a solid 6'2" man in Resident Evil next to Ian Glen who Rob met.

Looked the same as McTavish in Rambo who you cut down a centimetre

Rob, was he taller than Michael Caine then? 6'2.5" seems quite high as he claimed 6'2", what convinced you he was over 6'2"? Surprised I never thought of him previously as tall I thought he was about 5'10" but I haven't really paid much attention to him.

Editor Rob he's been quoted saying 6ft 2 and 3, more 6ft 3 when he went to Hollywood!

I would have said 6ft2 (but close enough) i have stood next to him when he used to be in Corrie. He has done well for himself. I have changed my mind about Stallone now as a result of recent pics with Marsden.

Yeah, this guy looks in the band of legit 6ft 2ers including Reynolds, Jackman, Stults. His quote makes sense, when you're a proper 6ft 2, you'll be 2, sometimes even 3 inches taller than half the guys in hollywood who might be claiming 6ft 1. If he turns up at the John Rambo premiere next year Sly will be wearing the big guns...

I looked at some pictures of this guy from Anacondas, and I almost dare to say he dwarfed Morris Chestnut and Karl Yune, who are both fairly tall themselves. Also looking at this Helen Of Troy right now and when I first saw him I thought he was the Justin Whalin type of lead actor, you know, 5' 8" or somewhere around there, then when in a scene walking around in the market he towers everybody. I was kinda surprised
