He looks more 5'5.5-5'5.75 than the full 5'6, 5'5.75 might be ok.

He's got a pretty big head for his height. That does look like a 2-inch difference though.

@Andre wow, cool story, he seems like a good man. Would like to see what Rob thinks of his height though; maybe Simon just accepted the fact that he is below average and didn't ever care about his height, making him think to be shorter than he actually is.

Editor Rob 5ft 5 flat? I'd be surprised as he looked taller, but then you can always wear a lift for extra height! Look at him with John Simm...and harry melling

I happened to know the actor personally, having worked with him on stage, and can confirm that he himself says he's almost five-five. When I told him that he is listed as five-six on the net, he smiled and replied that he has never been five-six, and may be shrinking.

I think he may have shrank based on his age.
