You don't realize just how tall he really is because in Merlin nearly most the male cast members seems to be over the 5'10 - 5'11 mark, making him seem appear more 6'1 than 3.

6'3 flat (190.5cm) is perfect. Thats what he looked to be in Merlin, wasn't that much shorter than Tom Hopper, but still quite taller than Bradley James.

6'4 I highly doubt but a seriously strong 6'3 guy. Possible 6'3 1/2 but that's the limit if you ask me. I think I'd bet more on the 6'3 1/4 mark as listed versus 1/2.

Given footwear differences I'd wager to say he's probably a flat 6'3....at his extreme low. So 6'3 and a quarter looks spot on to me.

6ft3½ is arguable but I struggle to see him as quite 6ft4.

I think this guy would be the tallest out of the three. I would put Kevin Sorbo as a close second and Zachary Levi as a close third. All three of them taller than someone like Brandon Routh for sure.

In that case,this listing is legit, especially when he had less footwear.

Looks about 6’3.5” in this photo. He might be able to pull it off. Looked only 4 cm shorter than Tom Hopper. I am going with 6’3.5” as he looks some 7.5 inches taller than Rob. Besides, he looks of a similar height to that 6’3 3/8” guy and would probably match him height wise.

Rob, remember that comic book writer that I mentioned to you about? Roland Mann? He gives a similar impression to Rupert Young. The picture I sent you was actually unreliable since I was closer to the camera and the picture itself came from my IPhone, not to mention he had loose posture much more so than I.
To give my vote, I would put Rupert Young between 6'3.25"-6'3.5"

No, typical Johno's arguments. You talk a lot but it has no sense at all. If you downgrade Young you must downgrade Kevin Sorbo as well for example because they are similar in height. O wait I remember you downgrade Chris Hemsworth too to weak 188cm. Madness. :(

I noticed this quite alot but alot of people do not consider Rob's posture into consideration when judging the height of the celebrity.
When there are doubleshots with Jenny, you can see this. Here Rob is standing less then Jenny, comparing Rob and Jenny's respective heights in the same event but with other celebs, i can see Rob can standing taller by 0.5 inches in the above picture. At times the taller celebs positioning can force Rob into these postures.
6'2.5

Hi Rob, there's something weird about Rupert Young's height. In many photos Rupert is next to Tom Hopper, and they have almost the same height. Young is clearly a 191 cm with or without shoes, I'm 191 with a 1 cm of shoes (I'm 190 barefoot) and a guy like you, 172 cm looks exactly as you in this photo next to me. So, Young is clearly a 191 cm, but why close to Hooper is tall like him? I can confirm that, 191/192 and 196 is pretty evident the difference. I'm almost sure that Young sometimes use elevator shoes or something. What do you think?

Editor Rob it will just be slight differences in camera angles or posture. In person I've seen them together and would put 4-5cm range between them.
