Stephen Merchant's Height
6ft 7 (200.7 cm)
British actor and writer known for roles in TV series The Office and Extras. He said in an interview, "one's a short, fat guy and one's 6'7" referring to his attempts to get Hugo Boss to give him and Gervais suits for Bafta's. In the same IcBirmingham interview he talked about height issues: "... heard all the jokes. People say things like 'Did your parents put you in a grow bag?' and 'What's the weather like up there?'...I went to the bar to get a drink and a bloke sniggered 'That's a tall order!....it's amazing how people feel they can make fun of your height when they never would if you were fat or disabled". In 2015 he mentioned a peril of being too tall: "I'm too tall. I am 6ft 7in, so I've been most people's height at some point in my life, and 6ft 4in is the best. You're tall, but you don't have to bend when you go through a door."

Merchant isn't standing his best with Vaughan in those photos and the angle is odd but it does look like it could be close ot three inches.

If Steve is 6'7 in the evening, could he be 6'8 out of bed, Rob? I'm wondering if extremely tall people shrink a full inch rather than the 1.9-2cm average.

There’s a lot of pictures with him and Vince Vaughn, Vince had better posture and holds up better with Merchant than you might expect but Merchant can have a couple inches height on him.

Interesting how he rates 6'4" as the best height. Personally I think it's a pretty good call, but I would say anything from 6'1" up to about 6'5" would be pretty similar to what he's describing where you are distinctly "tall" but do not face many problems from it.

@James B
Merchant isn't exactly a looker though plus I think most women mean like 6-6'4 range when they say they like taller guys.
Steve is so tall it's hard to judge his height. I believe that he has been measured at 6'7 but could maybe fall to 6'6.75 at night.
It's a lot easier to tell between a 5'9.75 and 5'10 guy than a 6'6.75 and 6'7 guy.

Of course some women will have different preferences, over others. Money, Looks, Personality, Height...these are factors that will vary in importance to women.

He has a point about height discrimination. I think you should be able to mock fat people to a point as 98% of the time it's their fault (glandula being the other 2%). But with height, it's out of your control.
True.

If Merchant is a strong 6ft7 then Osmon is the fiull 6ft8 and Greg Davies is over it by half an inch.
Merchant I think is a 6ft7 guy for the most part but maybe at worst falls a fraction shy of it later on. Osmon I really think is a bit over 6ft7, possibly by as much as half an inch

@talha227 I use to see him as 6'6 1/2 but the more look at him especially stack up to a strong 6'2 John Krasinski i wouldn't go below 6'7 a low for Merchant and he could even pull off 6'7 1/4-1/2 range.
@Dream I have mention before Bo had no chance to be under 6'6 1/2 that was his low and Pete Holmes could just be 6'4 1/2.

Honestly, I think 6’5.5” is likely for Bo, now. Greg’s still a big guy, slightly taller than Richard, who would be over 6’7”.
I don’t think a 6’4.75” guy could hold up well with someone who’s close to 6’8”, like Bo and Anthony Joshua did. I’m not sure about Anthony Joshua having less footwear—it seemed even. However, Bo certainly did have less footwear, with Greg. Unlike AJ, Bo isn’t height conscious, to the point he didn’t want to look very tall.

@Junior
Honestly, I would’ve said it was only 2 inches between Bo and Greg, taking into account Bo’s footwear disadvantage and his worser posture. I actually used a ruler to alinge the top of their heads and despite Bo looking down while Greg looks up, the back of Bo’s head is well above Greg’s Eye Brows, as a guy in the 6’5” range should be. Bo’s spine is much more relaxed while Greg’s spine is like an arrow. Their ‘ear levels’ are rather close, much closer than they look.
Like I said, if we straighten them out and take out Greg’s footwear advantage, they would only look 1.5 inches apart.
Greg did have a camera advantage, but I can’t see his footwear. It looks like Stephen is wearing some big footwear. Still though.

@Dream That picture can't even properly compare height as Greg get too much of space advantage standing infront of him. Merchant is one of the most solid 6'7 in this site making 6'2 1/2 John Krasinski look 6'2 flat and make 6'1 Jonathan Ross look 6'0 1/2. Problem would be John and Ross listed 1/4 too high. Merchant could be as his worst 6'7 1/8 (201cm) and Greg a flat 203cm and someone like Osman low is close to 202cm. Bo Burnham isn't a topic anymore as he is def 6'5 1/2 a low. In other way to say Greg is 6'7 3/4 a low and 6'6 was measure in the late morning we wouldn't know it, this implies that Merchant claiming his lowest mark at 6'7 and Osman just 1/4 tops over 6'7. I sense that couldn't be 2.75" this much between Greg and Bo, the max could be 2.5" and the odds 2.25".

I think Merchant looks under 6'7", with Greg, going by top of their heads.
I stumbled upon a video of Bo Burnham and Greg Davies. Surprisingly, Davies didn't look much taller than Burnham, going by the top of their heads and their eye levels. Greg also had more footwear than Bo: Greg was wearing some big dress shoes while Bo was just in light sneakers. Bo also had more worse posture than Greg. (To be frank, Bo's posture was slightly worst than Idris Elba, in that one video.)

Rampage, seriously Osman can pull off 6'8 but not below 6'7 1/2 and Merchant could look as high as 6'7 1/2 maybe a solid 201cm a low. If you check him out with 6'2 1/2 listed John Krasinski you did convince my word of highest 202cm. Problem i think is Krasinski could just be a decent 6'2 guy maybe just 1/8 over.

After check out of his height i figure out he could have being measure near 6'7 1/2 from his doctor office in the AM and came down the lowest 6'7-6'7 1/8 inch. Although PJ look a 1/2 shorter from that picture but we can't spot their feet so maybe it's just a tap bit under 6'7 for PJ or 6'6 & 3/4 a low. Checking PJ i felt he doesn't look that low as 6'6-6'6 1/2 but can be spotted 6'6 3/4-6'7 range than saying strong 6'7 like Merchant. The only one 6'7 claimer in celebheights.com can beat out Merchant is still Richard Osman a guy sometimes pull off 6'8 and doesn't look below 202cm.

I have to admit sometimes i'm not that accurate in estimate comparison which turn out under estimated someone's height i feel real bad about it to the person..

Its strange that Stephen Merchant can really look 6'7 1/2 with John Krasinski whom i thought more on a 6'2.25" guy. But with 6'1 1/2 Hugh Jackman and 6'1 Rainn Wilson i wouldn't go above 6'7.

@MalcomStreet Click Here watch this. Jimmy Fallon is not over 5'11 1/2 and he does look 6'7 with him. Problem is Fallon may not be 5'11 1/2 as his lowest height. Merchant can be 6'6 7/8 a low at best. About Krasinski he might not be over 6'2 watching him with weak 5'9 Steve Carell and 6'2.25" The Rock.

@Canson @Rampage Agree it. But i wouldn't go under 200cm now as previously thought of 6'6.25-6'6.5" range seem too low the more of looking into his work. Osman kept a deep impression at least 1.5cm taller than him.
@Hong He can looks it too but depending the time of the day. He is more like a 200cm guy.

I think taking more look Merchant can pass for 200cm maybe 6'7 just simply a doctor check up in the AM. I personally knows someone solid 202cm could possible tell apart.
@Merdie No chance. Merchant was on Conan O'brien show several years back and they look specifically 3 inches apart. He can be 6'7 but certainly isn't at his low.

He's definitely taller than 2.01cm
I know he's skinny and that adds a bit of height, but even with that in mind, he's still taller than 6 7'
He keeps saying he's 6 7, because he's convinced himself to be okay with being 6 7' . But in reality he's more than that. I kinda feel for the guy, I can imagine how it must feel like, never blending in, always being aware of your height, but I still don't like downplaying his height.

I felt comfortable sitting in the back, but I had the front seat pushed all the way up front. If someone was sitting in the front seat and had their seat further back, then it might feel tighter for me. I didn't "ride" in the backseat, as I was in the car alone. I just sat there for a short moment to test how roomy the back seat was. Ever since I bought the car, I've never actually been the passenger. I've always just been the driver.

@Christian: I had more of a problem in the back of the Camry due to the head room and lack of an adjustable rear seat. I probably have a slightly longer upper as my legs aren’t as long as yours. I’ve never ridden in the back of mine despite having had it for over 8 years now. I have sat in mine for a few minutes tho just to test it. It wasn’t all that roomy in the rear. Did you actually ride in the backseat of your car or did you just sit there for a moment?

Fortunately my upper body isn't that tall so headroom isn't really a problem, unless if it's a sports car or some other type of low car. I've just recently tried sitting in the back of my Camry and it was okay, although not as roomy as the front seats.

@Christian: yea for your car I’m not sure how much you’d have in the rear. It may not be enough headroom compared to front. As for the larger vehicles the Avalon is their full size you’d be ok in there probably. I’ve sat in the back of a few models of Avalons over the years and been ok

How tall is the doorway near your porch? Your doorway must be shorter than standard if a 6'2" person has to duck.
@Frank R1
Even at my height, I struggle a bit to sit comfortably in the back seat of mid sized cars. I drive a 2018 Camry which is a mid sized car, and I don't really have a problem riding in the driver's seat, but I've never ridden in the back so I don't know yet. Full sized sedans and SUVs are no problem though, regardless of the seat position.

@Frank R1 - I understand the urge to prevent the seat in front of you reclining. I'm a little over 6'3" and even at my height that really blows when people do that. One of the only downsides at my height, however. I would say Merchant is on to something when he calls 6'4" the best, in that up to that sort of height range (and I'd argue up to 6'5" really) you're not going to often encounter problems for your height and you will still get to be taller than the vast majority of others. Flying coach is one of the few exceptions, where even a 6'0" guy may feel too tall if someone reclines in front of them (depending on the airline and their leg room).
As for Merch, I think he's got to be very close to the height he claims. If I were to guess whether he was a whisker under 6'7" or a whisker over, I'd guess under. I'd expect a guy like Peter Crouch to be a little taller than Merchant.

If you’re too tall to sit comfortably in the back seat of a standard-sized sedan, then that sucks. Forget about being comfortable in most “coach seats” too. I remember when those stupid “airplane seat back suppressors” first came out. I thought: “These devices are going to create big problems” and I was right. Soon after they became available to buy, a fight broke out between two airline passengers because one guy could not recline his seat because the “d-bag” behind him chose to put a seat back suppressor on the seat in front of him.

That must be awful for Stephen to have to bend down when he's entering a room! My 6ft2 uncle had to do exactly that in order to enter our porch, so imagine how much Stephen would have to bend just to enter the same porch?
I'd never given that sort of thing much thought before. Exceptionally tall people have a whole host of problems that average and small-sized ones would only encounter when entering a child's playhouse! It can't be easy for the super-sized!
6ft7, though he'd much prefer to be 3" less.

@Animus: you couldn’t have said it better. That shows when most guys lie up to about 6’5”. Not a lot of guys unless pro athletes claim 6’7” although I do know one guy (former teammate who I’ve mentioned before) would measure 6’6” in the morning and probably right at 197 or a hair over afternoon and he claims 6’7” still. There aren’t a lot of 6’7” tight ends. Jimmy graham is listed at that but likely max 6’6”. He’s only measured 6’6.25 morning height but genuinely can look more 6’6” than Gronk despite measuring identical to what he measured. I would put Gronk 6’5.5 more than 6’6”

Stephen Merchant is so right in that no one should ever make fun of someone else because of their height, tall and short people have to endure this and it is not acceptable. I am sure that Stephen Merchant would also join me in saying that it is unacceptable for anyone to make fun of another person for any other reason.

Unless you're freakishly athletic so you can be a tight end in the NFL or an NBA player, this is a tough height to be. I'd rather be 5'8 than this height. If you're scrawny like Merchant, there's absolutely no benefit to be 6'7.

A legitimate 6'5 is very large so it's definitely not desirable, though yes less issues with day to day tasks. I think 6'4 and under there aren't too many issues day to day. As for cancer I know there is one study out there for prostate which I believe it stated Men over 6'0 increased risk. The main study was a huge one done mostly on women but confirmed the risk stands for men as well albeit slightly less.
One quote to paraphrase:
"They found that for every 4-inch change in height, there was a 13 percent increase in risk for developing any type of cancer. The cancers most strongly associated with height were cancers of the kidney, rectum, thyroid and blood. Risk for those cancers increased by 23 to 29 percent for every 4-inch increase in height."
This is a huge deal as the sample size was extremely large and conducted over quite a lengthy timeframe.

Doorways health etc. however I don't think 6'5" is all that bad at least like Christian said less issues with doors. Now Avi made good points for health but no guarantee that's the case necessarily for all types of cancer

Also potential health risks go up. For anyone over 6'2. Pancreatic cancer risk is very high for men over 6'1 and over 6'0 for prostate. Ideal height is different for everyone but most seem to agree 6'1-6'2 area I think. Obviously it's not 6'5 or 6'6 it's too large and 6'7 and 6'8 are very undesirable for multiple reasons many more serious than doorframe issues. Based on all the discoveries health wise with being too short or too tall I'd say the "best" height is 5'10-6'1 if you fall in that range you are basically a solid average. I don't think someone 6'0 or most at even 6'1 have too much more health risks but 6'2+ I believe the risks rise significantly.

People like Merchant having issues with doorframes is the reason why I believe anything over 6'6" is an undesirable height for everyday life imo. You have to constantly duck down when entering/exiting doors, because the standard doorframe is usually 6'7", so you even if you're 6'6" barefoot you would be 6'7" or close to it in most shoes. Not to mention for every inch you're above maybe 6'2" the trouble with fitting in shorter cars, plane seats, and finding clothes etc increases. At least 6'2-6'5.75" range people usually don't have to worry about doorframes though.

So Stephen Merchant has to bend down when he goes through doors! That must be incredibly irksome!
Steve says that the best male height is 6ft4, and that 6ft7 is just too tall. I can understand that but I can't relate to it, obviously!
However, I have known guys of 6ft4 and even 6ft2, for whom certain doors require for them to bend down in order to walk through without scraping their heads!
I will put 6ft7 for Stephen.

Agree with you. Merchant could be a full 6'7.25 max out of bed and like my thoughts he drop to min 6'6.25 , my max lost height for a day is 2.65cm upon out of bed when i get about 8hours of sleep so i bet on stephen merchant could have lost this much a day just like me.

@SJH: he may have been measured in the morning and been 6'7" 1-2 hours out of bed or maybe lost some height. A guy his or your size tho could lose a full inch easily tho. As for Kimmel and Fallon I always suspected that both were lucky if they were 5'11 meaning no more than that for either perhaps less. I see it in those comparisons to Conan or Michael Jordan the latter I've heard too many people including NBA say he's 6'4" range so likely around 6'4.5

He could not pass over 6'6.5 with jimmy fallon. Fallon listed 5'11.5 but a big problem is that i have met jimmy kimmel in person close up he was not taller than 5'10.5 but rob listed him at 5'11.25 and fallon had always look about 1cm taller so give it a generous 5'11 for Fallon and the max between merchant and fallon is about right on listing here but fact would be they're both 2cm shorter in person than listing. 6'6.25-6'6.5 max for Merchant that explain why 6'7 Peter Crouch giving impression look easily taller than all 6'7 celebrities not just 0.5 more like 0.75 or an inch. Highly doubt 6'7 claim actors were in the 6'6 range a little more or lesser.

@SJH: I agree on most of that. But Westbrook is taller than Wall for sure. Same person has met both at 6'3 and said Wall is 1-1.5" shorter than him and that Russell Westbrook and him is maybe 1" maybe less. Westbrook looks taller than Curry Rose and Wall all of which are 6'1" range at their lowest. Westbrook I can believe is his actual pre draft height of 6'2.25 especially on the court which is why people assume he's 6'4-6'5. Kobe with barkley too I believe Kobe has always been taller. Kobe may have been a solid 195 and probably really hasn't lost any height. Maybe he dips a fraction below the 195 mark but with Barkley I've heard and seen multiple posts and have 2 people who are reliably measured who met him and even another person as well as his teammates coaches fans and all to the effect of he's 6'4 range or under or at most 6'5". One of the same ones met Kobe and said he looked 6'5" in person so 6'4.75 is likely there since the diff with a 6'2 guy is 2.75 or 3" and that's no difference esp if Kobe has a footwear advantage. But MJ and Barkley I believe prime were at best weak 6'5" guys no less than maybe 6'4.5 no higher than maybe 6'4.625. Meaning both would wake a fraction over 6'5" more than likely

@SJH: I agree with most of what you said. Harden however is only 1" shorter than Barkley is. He looks around 1-1.25 shorter than Kobe as well. I'd put harden very worst as 191 maybe 191.5. Westbrook isn't as tall as he is and he's 188-189 in real life according to someone I know who met him. Said was around the Rock's height

Looked very tall in Comparsion to Hugh Jackman on Logan
No less than 5 inches difference
And looks also about 5 inches taller than The Rock and John Krasinski ( both around 6'2.5-6'2.75)
So Stephen might not be a full 6'7 but he is very close like 6'6.5- 6'6.75

Stephen merchant didn't look like my height that is why i could tell and i always suspect he is 6'6.25 as my 6'8 cousin met 6'7 claim peter jones in real say he was really not over 6'6 and most people have see the comparison that merchant look fractionally taller than jones. Honestly barkley didn't look under 7cm taller than the rock also look strong 3" if the rock is 6'2 and barkley 6'4.5 it didn't make sense and james harden even look like not over 190cm with barkley. I think rock is 6'1.75 a big 187cm guy could look 6'2 and i'm buying barkley a strong 6'4.5 nowadays and 6'4-5/8th peak and michael strahan is probably not a 6'4 but just a 192cm guy and measure 6'4.25 in the early morning
Click Here kobe had 1.5" on strahan on nickelodeon award but kobe had about 0.4" more footwear. Without footwear advantage kobe is at least 1.2" taller than strahan not 0.5" range. Strahan is between in the 6'3.5-6'3.75 (6'3.6)
Click Here kobe sneakers look 1-1.1"
Click Here strahan footwear much like a flat style 0.7" boost
Click Here you can see the difference from top of their head look 3" and worst is 2.8" really not 6cm. Wahlberg, barkley and rock posture were prepared except for big shaq only if the ground was not level then rock could be 6'2 but not over which is less impossible

It's funny, cause I'm 6'4" and I'd love to be an inch or two taller, even though I realize that once you get close to the 2m mark (6'6"-6'7" or above), life becomes pretty annoying. I have a doorway at work that has a thick inner frame, so its height is ~6'2" (188 cm), and I have to slouch pretty heavily when entering, and it's a huge pain in the ass. I can't imagine what it's like to have to do that every time.

"I'm too tall. I am 6ft 7in, so I've been most people's height at some point in my life, and 6ft 4in is the best. You're tall, but you don't have to bend when you go through a door."
I think that's a good point, that really someone who is extra tall would have pretty good insight to the best height to be. And he's got a point in his assessment; 6'4" is a standout tall height but doesn't come with the problems of heights over 6'6" like ducking doorways.

6'4 isn't too tall. 6'4 is solid tall . It's almost in the very tall range. 6'5 - 6'6 is the start of the very tall range. I agree with Stephen Merchant. 6'7 is too tall in real life. 6'7 is a very good height for playing basketball. For nonbasketball guys being this tall must suck.
6'3-6'4 range is the start of very tall. 6'4 is a weak very tall height yes but it's still within the very tall category. 6'5 and 6'6 are legit tall heights.
Merchant at 6'7 is virtually a giant.

And I think Stephen's a legit 6'7". Maybe a strong 6'7". Like 202cm.

Why are people saying this is too tall?
Stephen probably wishes he was even taller than what he is. Its a fact most people around his height do indeed wish they were taller and do not think they are that tall.

where do you reckon a 6'4 & 6'1 guy would end up near him? near the eyebrow/under his ear maybe?

Editor Rob probably above his eyebrow, his head isn't a huge size or anything for his height. A 6ft 1 man probably wouldn't look that much above his nose.

Definitely 6'7 (looks a bit like he was supposed to be 6'3 or 6'4 but was stretched out), hence the way too tall height he has now (anything over 6'5 is too tall in my book). Though he'd make a great Plastic Man with those lanky limbs of his!

stephen merchant looks taller than he actually is because i thought he was around 6'9-6'10 but when me and my mates met him in london and i'm legitimately 6'8; i was startled and perplexed to find out that i had around half an inch to an inch over him. 6'7-6'7.5 for stevie boy.

Saw him in a crowd a few years ago and he towered over everyone even slouching. Skinny as a rail though.

again i think solid 6'6.5 for merchant, not quite good 2metre tall so let alone 6'7. peter jones a solid 6'6.25 and atually look more 6'7 in shoe then barely range. even they were 200-201 morning and claim 6'7 is still fair but they gota be weak 6-7 through out the day unlike peter crouch a scary skinny tallish 6-7 can pull to look 6-9 alone.

be honest we have eye to see people's frame and height. if peter jones and merchant were same height as peter crouch nobody would bother to argue here. if peter crouch truely just 201cm as the premiere league got him measure this height, so how could stephen merchant and peter jones were level height as peter crouch?
much obviously stephen merchant and peter jones stand around 6"6-6"6.5 nothing over max 199cm. crouch was then a real 6'7 guy.

Household Door frames are actually 2 metres tall (6'6") he is 6'7" most of the pictures you see of him are usually in e.g. Itv studio and those doors are taller. When he stands next to Karl pilkington who is 6'1" he is at least 6" taller than him and on one picture they are standing together and next to a door and stephen is taller than the door and he has to bend down to get under door frames.

Stephen Merchant is not 6.7. I will prove it to you in five reasons.
1. On the picture with picture with peter Jones he was on tiptoes
2. he is not six inches taller than Johnathan Ross
3. Most doors have a standing height of 6'8 and he was not level with shoes on.

This guy is at least 6' 7", probably even more. Saw him on Extras last night and he was so much bigger than Gervais (and a dwarf, ironically enough) that it looked superimposed. 6'4" and 6'5" guys like Goldblum, Vaughn and Hasselhof look very tall beside most people on screen or in pictures. However Merchant towers over people so much that you have to do a double take to believe what you're seeing.
