When I chance upon one of those magazine surveys that states your ideal body weight for your height and type, I realise that at Six Foot Two, of medium build, I ought to weigh twelve stone rather than eleven.

6ft1 flat today is definitely too low but he may be a bit under 6ft2 now. 80's and 90's he looked no less than it

I have translated Richard's Quote on Arnold's ,Sly, Maybe Willis's height
Translation: "Sly , Willis, and Arnie are alot more wealthy and well Known than I am, so I'm going to attack their height...I wish I could have their Roles and Fame" .....Putz

All because of Reynolds being under listed making Richard look 6'1 with him.

I don't think Richard is as low as 6ft1 but he could be a bit under 6ft2 now. Peak was no less than 6ft2

Since people mostly buy Ryan Reynolds as 6'2 then Richard is 6'1 now and Smauel L.Jackson 6'0.

Rob, you can see there is a clear inch between 6'2 1/2 Ryan Reynolds and him. Richard should have already drop half inch down at 6'1 1/2. There is no way he still stand 6'2.
Click Here standing further behind walking but upon eye level you can see Richard is looking up to him.
Click Here Even comfortably tilt down his eye level to look at Richard, there is no way they're same height or only 0.25-3/4 difference. The max is 3cm in that movie but we could argue Reynolds might have a bit more footwear so a solid inch is still there.
I think a peak and current height for Richard E Grant is very reasonable since he was 62 now and presently look under 6'2. Those who guess him higher than 6'2 peak is delusional by his slim frame.

Editor RobHe is at an age in which he could be 186-7 range. At least in the 90's he could seem much more 6ft 2, I'm sure he made Willis look closer to 5ft 11 flat than 6ft.

Really needed a downgrade. I have watch many times and see Ryan Reynolds look betweeen 1"-1.25" taller than Grant. I have to repeat the honesty statement from my 6'2 7/8 (187.6) low cousin he met Rynolds twice in person and both time coincident had same converse sneakers as him and confess there is a strong 2cm between Ryan and him so 6'2 5/8 low (189.5) is for Ryan, that makes Grant nothing over 6'1 1/2 (186.7) now.

I would say he's an honest 6'2", although doesn't always stand with great posture, but is more of slender than medium build.

A fraction over 6ft2 in the 80's-90's is possible. Could really give a 6ft3 impression in Whitnail & I

Just watched Richard E Grant's Secret Hotels, and in an episode he meets Donald Trump in 2012. Richard appears to be at least 2 inches taller when they pose side by side in similar footwear. Still at least 6' 2".

I would go 6'1 1/2 now and 6'2 peak for Richard. He was never 6'2 1/2 like someone think he is. Ryan Reynolds is def solid 6'2 1/2.

Richard needs a downgrade. Unless Ryan Reynolds is 6'3.

I think he has gone from a strong 6ft2 range to 6ft2 flat or just under at worst. He doesn't look noticeably different from 30 years ago, heightwise

Editor RobRichard at times might look shorter than his claim, especially as he is getting older. I think his head size also can make him look shorter too.

Peak: 189cm
Today: 187-188cm
6ft2 is still an ok listing but he's more likely to measure just under it than over today.

I've seen him up close recently and he looked about 6'1.5 I estimated and slim, so a peak of 6'2 seems fair.

Rob, is a fraction over this possible?
I do acknowledge that he's quite thin and might just give a taller impression. I did think he was a like a lanky 6ft4 guy in Witnail & I and Paul McGann was average.

Editor Rob well Paul isn't much taller in person than myself, so he did look reasonably tall back then. A decent 6ft 2 in the 80's and 90's, but now I don't know...he can look a bit shorter.

Saw him and walked by him in a Virgin Megastore in Dublin about 10 yrs ago. I'm just short of 6'4" and I thought he was very close to my height, though I didn't note his footwear. He was better built that I imagined.

I kinda agree with rampage i think he can look 189-190cm range with guys like rupert everrett and tim robbins. But 6'2.5 could be spot on.
In the movie Spice World looked really tall.

I have a feeling Grant may be taller than 6'2", perhaps as much as 6'4". I used to see him regularly in Richmond, London in the late 90s (He lived across the bridge in St Margarets). Once, he was right behind me in the queue in WHSmiths. Now, I am six feet downhill with the wind behind me (ie not slouching and in decent shoes) He was considerably taller. I remember being surprised how tall he was.
Now, I'm not anywhere in the league of Frank2 but I meet celebrities all the time. eg Ken livingstone who I expected to be at least 5'11" is only about 5'9".
Now, why would Grant wear stacks/lifts whilst out doing his shopping? We would often see him walking home back across Richmond Bridge so he wasn't just hopping back into a Limo LA-style.
He may be either unaware of his own true height* or 'downsizing' so as not to put off casting directors.
*He may have measured himself whilst young and since grown a couple of inches but still thinks he's 6'2". This would explain his comment about Schwarzenegger and Willis (We know Stallone isn't that tall).

I'd say he was referring to Stallone and Willis when he said 'both substantially uner six feet'. Swartzneggar is 6ft minimum.

Walked right up to the guy in the street last week. 6'2 sounds very legit. Funny, I always thought he was way taller.

Anyone read his book 'With Nails'? He says he met Stallone and Schwarzenegger at the Die Hard 2 premiere and they were both under six feet. I'd be interested in finding out from him directly what height he says they are.
