I think he was one of the more genuine 6fters in his prime, at times looking slightly over it. In the 80's-90's when he was slim and had very good posture, could look near 6ft1. 182cm range today is definitely closer though. At 60 he's lost a centimetre.

Editor Rob I think Tom does have a near 5 inch eyelevel if he is looking straight ahead, but I do see sometimes how he can look 5ft 11.75 at most with Steven, sometimes 11.5 even.

Rob, how long would you guess his face and his eye level are? He seems to have a big head, so I'd guess 10" inches with a 5 1/2" inch eye level.

Editor Rob 5.5 is in the territory of the 7ft+ giants. Hanks does look to have a pretty equal eye-skull and eye-chin, so it might be close to 5 inches.

Editor Rob there's a lot of guys in 50's or just turning 60 who may have only dipped a 1/4 inch or near half inch. I think for Hanks, he is a case. I still think 6ft then and 11.5 now might be ok, although I can see an argument at times for an 'almost 6ft'.

Hanks still looks pretty tall in a lot of Bridge of Spies but not a particularly tall cast in that. An older and slouchy Alan Alda looked no taller but Sebastian Koch wasn't much different height than Hanks and is under six feet I believe.

Rob I have hard time ever picturing tom hanks as being a genuine 6ft guy even back in the 80s. When he was rake thin back then he looked somewhere in the 5'11 range. A skinny 6ft guy should give the illusion of 6'1 or 6'2 om screen.
In the film hoochie as well a lot of guys in that film were taller than him

I don't think he was a legit 6 footer ever either. Certainly I can believe that he cleared 5'11", but like you say he never really looked as tall as 6'0".

Watching Saving Private Ryan at the moment - Hanks looks around 3 inches shorter than 6-6'1 Dennis Farina. Always pegged him as a 5'10 guy who can pull off a six footer. The picture with Goldblum and Denzel from back in the day is also very telling in my opinion.

Yeah Goldblum absolutely towered Hanks. I still personally think he was at least 5'11" peak rather than 5'10", but I don't think he was ever a 6 footer.

Actually i think he has ever had a figure which never seemed a "tall figure".
Instead, I think he showed to have been 6' in past because he ever looked that next to others tall actors since 80's.
I agree with Dmeyer that 182.5-183 cms was his common low height at peak so 6' is the fairest estimate (like for Jensen Ackles, for example).
I do not a agree with him about his current height. I think when he stays straight he seems taller than a flat 5'11.5"...as I said before the lowest listing that he can have today is 5'11.75".

He's shorter than 6'0" Geena Davis in every pic I provided. He's never been over 5'11" imo. You are welcome to your own.

I do think you're right that Geena Davis at 183 cm edges him out, but I won't say by a full inch. I think a peak height of 182 cm would be a fair listing for Hanks. He looks 181 cm most of the time to me but I could agree with 182 cm, especially given that Dmeyer who is pretty close to Tom's height seemed to think he was somewhere in the 182-183 cm zone in person. Legit 183 is pushing it for me though, considering the Geena Davis comparison among others. And I'd say maybe 181 cm would be a fair listing for his current height, I do not believe he's lost more than 1 cm.

As i said before, IMO he was very very close to 6' during 80's...
he maybe was 182,5-183 cms averagely in the evening...I think he was weak/flat 6', not strong one (183-183,5 cms) like Hayden Christensen, Chris Walken, David Duchovny or others...
Today he maybe has lost something, but i think less than 1 cms, so he can be in the 5'11.75-6' range...
i think rob can quietly wait for the downgrade, because he still looks very close to his peak height, considering he's almost 60. I think he has lost max 5-6 mms...he's still a bit taller than a flat 5'11.5"...
As i said before, IMO he was very very close to 6' during 80's...

If Colin is 185-186cm, Tom has gotta be a little shy of the mark.
But still close enough to 6ft to get away with claiming it.

Editor Rob not sure, but he was typically called 6ft, one article suggests it might be his publicised height. Today he could be now in the fraction shy, typically by his age a small fraction is likely.

Not sure if he's lost any height, but I would say even in his prime he was never a solid 6'; maybe 5'11 1/2" max. In "Dragnet", as Hypado mentions below, 6' Dan Aykroyd was about an inch taller (or at least a half inch). In "Apollo 13", he and 5'11" Bill Paxton were almost identical in height. On SNL recently 5'11" Alec Baldwin looked about the same height, or maybe even a hair taller (although some have speculated about him possibly wearing lifts-??). I'm going to go with peak height (end of day barefoot) 5'11"-5'11 1/2".

I really think he was more of a strong 5'11" even in his prime, than a legit 6 footer. He's always had near 4" on Spielberg, but not really any more than that. His son who is 6'1" seems to have him by more than just a flat 1". I will say though, he's got pretty good posture and I think he's only dropped fractional height at 58.

Rob what do you think about this shot? how much adds the angle? footwear on/off?
Editor Rob the middle of the camera is probably right around his chin area, so somewhere in 5ft 3 range chin + head and you have 6ft and a bit on average. Then minus shoes and add back what he'd be in a measured pose...I think close to 6ft is quite possible, but unfortunately it's always harder to tell how much he might lose.
Judd said on 27/Dec/14
Rob, according with Dmeyer there're no doubt about the fact he could be 6'0" in his first movies...
Only, today he really does look a bit shorter. You think his current height deserve a small downgrade? Like 5'11.5"?

Editor Rob maybe he is drifting a bit shy of 6ft, although I think at times he can still with good posture pull off almost that mark. He's got to an age that his posture might not be as good.

In the mugshot Hanks can looks around 182 or 183 it all depends from what kind of shoes he wore!
I'm 182 and if i wear not thick shoes (like converse) i look very close to 6' but if i wear common dress shoes (which give 1-1,25") i looks closer to 6'1.
The top of my ear is around 5'8 when i wear converse and around 5'8.5-75 when i'm in dress shoes.
It's also important to Know that mugshot can give a inflated vision of a person's height.
It all depends from the height of the camera, how rob explains in one of his articles, and from the distance between the man and the wall...it's not very easy judge a person's height from a mugshot...however, not always!

@Dmeyer: I don't know what you have seen to think this, but there's no way Tom is 0.5-1in SHORTER than Leo now. He looked about an inch taller than Leo in Catch Me If You Can, and at events as well he pulled off looking an inch or so taller. He'd have to have lost near 2 inches of height from his peak, which he obviously hasn't. 181 cm is possible today though, like you say, but he can still look 182 cm range.

I thought he could still seem near six foot in Captain Phillips, in which he was really quite good. Not just hype, I think Hanks is the rare giant movie star to stay grounded, maybe because he knew years of failure to get his career on track, although a lot of his recent films haven't been as good either.

@Mathew I think that there's something off with that photo as Hanks is actually taller than DiCaprio by an inches, and Sacha Baron Cohen is more like 6'3.25 as he's like .5 taller than Will Ferrell and 2 inches taller than Jim Carrey whose about 6'1.25 (not 6'1.5"). I've also seen him by Sacha Baron Cohen with him looking only 2.5-3 inches shorter than Sacha Baron Cohen.

I agree Hanks is taller than Leo in actuality. SBC is a legit 6'3", maybe 6'3.25" but no more. And I think Hanks is at least 3.5" shorter than SBC.

Nah. He's never been that tall. Baron Cohen is 191 cm Click Here Hanks has never been a big 6 footer. I would say 181 cm but I trust Dmeyer's account so I'd go with 182 cm instead, but 183 - 185 cm is pushing it too far. I don't believe he's a guy who has lost anything significant in height though. He's got pretty good posture too.

He was shorter than Denzel a good few years ago, and Denzel got downgraded to 5'11.75. I think Tom should at least be downgraded to 5'11.75, although he seemed the same height as Denzel in bigger footwear at the time. I'd say 5'11.5 range for Tom these days is more likely than him still being 6ft flat.

The video posted by Danimal shows Hanks as shorter than Craig Ferguson. Of course it does, Ferguson is 6'2" and in the video Ferguson is wearing mens shoes with a very high heel while Hanks wears shoes with no noticeable heel. Hanks listed height is 6 ft which is likely true, but in movies today a lot of leading men are 6'2 - 6'4" so Hanks might seen shorter. Also, a lot of leading actresses are former models ranging in height above 5'8" so the men appear shorter. The one exception to all this is Tom Cruise who is listed at 5'7" and is dwarfed by actresses who are 5'6" or more.

Hov: He looks a lot shorter than Will Smith, for sure not the same height, you must have been looking at some distorted pics. I'm of the impression that Smith is closer to 185 cm rather than 186-187, as I've seen many pics of 6'2 Freeman being taller than Smith by at least 1". In return Smith looks 1-2" taller than Hanks, sometimes 2.5-2.75".
I have this theory, now, I'm not saying this applies for Hanks, but it's something I've witnessed a lot of 50-60 year ols do when they're slowly fading away from their peak height. They start to wear bigger footwear to achieve maximum height. My father does this, a bunch of his friends does it too.
Again, not saying Hanks definitely does the same, but it's a possibility.

I can definitely see the 5'11.5" for his peak height. 181 - 182 cm range is what I'd peg him at. I don't think he's dropped height like that though. To me Hanks seems like a guy who has probably only shrunk a matter of a few mm.

Yeah, in some photos he looks bizzarely 5'10"-5'11" next to Will Smith and in others looks pretty much the same height as Smith, 6'1"ish. I doubt he's a lift wearer so I guess that posture or proximity are the variabilities as always. but IMO he is pretty close to an even 6 footer.

But I do think that Goldblum was taller than his own claim of 6'4". I think he's one of those guys who liked to round down his actual height. He could even have been closer to 6'5" than 6'4" at his peak, perhaps.

Interesting picture. Hanks with Will Smith, Morgan Freeman, and Jeff Goldblum:
Click Here
He doesn't look 6'0" at all there. If you cropped out Freeman and Goldblum and just compared him to Will Smith he does look 6'0", but if you cropped out Will Smith and compared him to the other 2 it's hard to put him over 5'10.5".
He's listed at the same height as 50 Cent and looks close to it in this picture (maybe a he looks a hair shorter, but pretty much the same):
Click Here
But 50 Cent looked at least an inch shorter than Kellen Lutz who Rob has met and has at 6'0.25":

I see Tom Hanks and 50 Cent as both 5'11"+ guys but not true 6 footers. 181/182 cm listings fit better for these guys.

He's similar range (maybe even a fraction taller) than Denzel Washington. Tom Hanks is 6ft.

Tom Hanks has never seen 6ft in his life, I'm afraid. I always thought he was closer to 5'10/11.

Recently next to Craig Ferguson, Will Smith or Jim Sturgess (in a terrible height judging photo), Tom Hanks's height doesn't seem to have budged a centimeter with age:

He is not 6'0". Geena Davis (6'0") was taller than him in a League of their own. He WAS max 5'11".
---
Yeah that's the truth. Geena Davis being taller than him (years ago) is more evidence to suggest that he's been under 6'0" all along.

I think that this listing is spot on for Tom. He's always looked 6'0", IMO.

Hanks has always been a legit 5'11" range but not quite 6'0", 181/182 cm is likely. It's very possible he wore lifts to help play a particular role, like in Road to Perdition. He's not always living in them like Sly though.

He looked near 6ft2 in Road to Perdition but they obviously told him to wear heels to look more imposing. A similiar job was done with 6ft Ray Liotta in Narc.
Colin Hanks is at least 6ft1 if not 6ft1.5. He towered over Jack Black in Orange County and looked similiar to Harold Ramis. Tom Hanks is still 6ft IMO

Rob do u think 5ft11-6ft peak is more accurate than the full 6? Even back in the 80s when he was skinny he always looked more Like 5ft11ish guy in my opinion. 182cm could be be on the money.
His son Colin hanks could be 184cm but looks a legit 6ft1 cause he is rake thin.

Didn't look 6 foot at all next to 6'2 Ted Danson in Saving Private Ryan. I'm think 5'10 might be more plauside.
---
For peak heights Danson at 189 cm and Hanks at 181 (182 max) seems reasonable to me. I don't think either has lost too much height if any.

See him beside Michale Clarke Duncan (6'5") in Green Mile and he's clearly only about 5'10". Most Hollywood actors are much smaller than you think, some of them are almost tiny.

He looked so much taller than the bulk of the Forrest Gump cast. Solid 183 cm at his peak. He's only 56, so he's probably only lost about 0.5 cm max. 182.5 cm minimum today.

In Splash he looked barely shorter than 6'2" John Candy in some scenes. Also in Dragnet he only looked a fraction shorter than 6'1" Dan Aykroyd, I think he was a good 6' at his peak. Today he could be 5'11.5" or so but in his prime I wouldn't buy anything under 6 ft 0 in.

I really think that Hanks peak height goes 181 - 182 cm, or 5'11" and change. I also think he's probably still at or near his peak height.

Dmeyer, 6ft0.25 isn't unrealistic for Hanks.
If you look at Sleepless in Seattle and Forrest Gump
he looks like a guy who could pass for 6ft1...

Hanks CAN pull off 183-184cm in many pics , but looking at him again hé looks a haí¯r shorter than denzel who might never been over 6 ft , similar to paxton , Rob do you think 5 ft 11.75 peak is possible or 6 ft 0.25 , if you had to peak , Of course that will make Willis and DiCaprio about 5'11 flat

Editor Rob I just think roughly six foot is reasonable for him. Is he a fraction lower today? Possibly
