Editor RobHe can look pretty close to Joaquin's height...has a benefit in that his head is a bit smaller than average.

Makes me wonder how tall Jackie Chan really is. I know that Jackie and Riz are listed as 5'7.75" in your database, but I personally feel that Jackie Chan has a small edge over Riz. I mean look at these photos.

At first, I thought it was all just the advantage of the certain camera angles from which the photos were taken. But now don't think that's the case either. I mean, Jackie has a small edge over Riz, even after tilting his head in this photo.

Oh, and btw, their footwears look all normal and natural to me. I don't think that any extra cushions were added inside them.

Editor RobChan could be a fraction taller, but looking at the heel on their shoes, I would have guessed Chan has a fraction thicker heel.

What is he maximum you would give him.
He looks 2 inches shorter than tom hardy in some photos and in some the same height and also 1 to 1.5 inches shorter than matt Damon and approx 1 inch shorter than James corded.

Editor RobI think I'd say he is quite close to 5ft 8, that is highest I'd have guessed, though he has good posture and smallish head.

High eye level doesn't help him look taller next to Tom Hardy. I guess 5'7 1/2 will be Riz height.

Looked a good 1.5 inches shorter than Tom Hardy in Venom. He's probably 5'7.5" at most.

There's a chance he's nothing over 5'7.25"-5'7.5" but at times he can seem taller on-screen. I wonder how much he'd look taller than someone like Jon Stewart.

Riz Ahmed looks very close to how I did in HS--same height and very lean/thin build. So when I saw him in Rogue One I was relating to him quite well. In fact, I also look facially similar to him; I just have a rounder face and slightly different eyes. LOL. Regardless, I agree that his height is around 172cm--not average but not quite short either.

His character Naz in The Night Of is reported as 5'7" on his rap sheet but he does appear a bit taller than with the other actors. Probably just over 2 inches under Michael K. Williams and maybe 4.5 under John Turturro.

Think 5'7.5 is spot on. Brilliant upcoming actor. Amazing in The Night Of.

Rob, could you add "The night of" to his credits? I think he's probably well known for that tv series (a pretty good show, btw)...
In one episode they show his driving license and his height is down at "5-07"! I don't know if he's as low as 5'7 but he looks quite short on the show (shorter in fact than - *SPOILER ALERT* - almost every inmate in the prison scenes)!

Editor Rob I guessed him at 172cm, I think he has the benefit of a small head which can help him look taller.
