Editor Rob you can see how Frank2 could also say hanks was more his range 181cm...if he's not that much more on you.

Editor Rob this is the problem with morning/evening, some will claim morning, others evening and some might shrink 2cm, others 1 etc.
Take a measurement about 2pm...see what you are then, it would be of interest for your estimates.

rob if i am 5'11 then hanks is not as tall as 184 he had max 2 cm on me maybe less so more 182 but 184 in morning like i am 180 at night and 182 in morning but since 182 is my morning height i can steel claim it but i will just say 5 11 because thats wath i am at night most of the time also clint was only 2 inches on me so 6 feet 1 maybe 186 sicne sometimes i am 181 at night

hey rob i am 5'10.78" at night and 5'11.5 to 5'11.75" in the morning on a very good day 6 feet in morning so wath does that make me
Editor Rob
My opinion is that your true height should be read about 2-3pm in the day ensuring you've not lied down prior to measurement. You can claim to be your morning height but nobody is really going to see you at that height, so whilst Christina Ricci is 'technically' 5ft 1, most of the day she's shorter.
Claiming a morning height doesn't mean you're wrong though. Heck, I let some celebs away with morning heights on here ;-)
Some people will shrink more than others aswell of course.
If I were you I wouldn't claim 5ft 11.5, but just say 5ft 11

I say To's a strong 5'11 and is bordering on 6'.
Here he looks about 9 or 10 inches taller than Audrey Tatou, who I believe is 5'3.

Perhaps Hanks was made to look bigger in "The Da Vinci Code"
Here's one where Tatou looks a little taller.

Like I've repeatedly said, Hanks is about 5'11", possibly 5'11.5". But he's not 6'. Spielberg is quite short. And his official publicity claims he's 5'10"! Bottom line is don't believe anything from publicity people.

Rob, dmeyer - My wife tells me I under-estimate others' heights because I tend to be much taller. But, I'm not sure that's true with people closer to me in size. Also, she says I have a "big head". :-) By that I assume she means PHYSICALLY big. I figured it was about 4 1/2 inches to my mid-eye level, so I checked & it's about 5 1/2 inches (not QUITE Frankenstein-ian!). So, I guess MAYBE she has a point, but I still think I'm a decent judge of height. Won't go NEAR weight, though. But I can see where one's eye-level could affect perception. You know, most mammals judge size as: 1) height above the ground and 2) Visible width. One can't normally SEE horizontal length. Am I making sense or do my meds need adjusting??? :-) Anyway, that's why bears and apes stand UP to intimidate and crocadiles "puff" themselves up. Humans assume different postures to communicate different "messages".

But most shorter celebs try to stand as tall as possible when in public or even at a function like the Oscars or Emmys. Then the shorter guys tend to wear lifts or shoes with two inch heels. I can pinpoint someones height pretty accurately if I'm around them long enough such as with Elvis, Bruce Wills or especially Steve McQueen. When McQueen slumped he looked 5'7". Then he'd stand up straight and be almost as tall as me.

Editor Rob yes, you make a good point. When people judge, it is an estimate. You'll be right lots of times, other times you might not be right - one person may naturally have a droopy posture or continually have their eyeline tilted down or even up, fooling a bit.
If you've got someone else looking at you+celeb, this is useful, as that person can offer their estimate.

Height Detective, in the fourth photo you posted, Hanks is just about as tall as I was next to Matt Damon which is why I believe Damon is no more than 5'8". Check it out. Hanks is four inches taller. Tom and I are just about the same height.

5ft11 plus seems right for Hanks. I've never thought he was 6ftplus, I remeber when I first saw him listed at 6ft1, I knew it was B.S.He's never looked that tall on screen. It seems the acting world is filled with smaller people, and the occasional 6ftplus actor looks like a giant on screen. I've seen a decent amount of movie stars in person, mostly B rated ones, who merely shared screen time with the likes of Tom Hanks , but one thing remains clear they are all usually less impressive in person. I don't agree with Frank2 on all his comments, but he seems to be pretty knowledgable on the subject, especially since he has seen so many of these people in person. I agree Hanks is 5ft11 plus, Reno 6ft1.5 sounds good, Mckellan good be 5ft10 I suppose, I'm still wondering what that makes Viggo Mortensen and Sean Bean both who I thought were taller than 5ft10, around 5ft11 each in the LOTR movies. Maybe there all 5ft10, including Bloom.

He looks 6 feet to me at the most. But if you take a look at the pic in the Jeff Goldblum Page yo will see he looks three inches shorter than Morgan Freeman and six shorter than Goldblum. Maybe he has a bad posture in that one.

I just saw The Davinci Code and surprisingly Hanks only looked at most an inch shorter than Jean Reno, who is listed at 6ft2 if not taller. Even more surprising is Ian Mckellan who despite playing a hunched crippled man, when he stands up straight in one scene looks to be only a little shorter than Hanks, maybe an inch. I don't know what gives! I think Hanks might be just about 6ft, with Reno 6ft1, and Mckellan 5ft10.5. Or there all taller than that. Either way movies only add to the confusion about actor's heights, because it's so hard to get an accurate estimation.

the only proof i have that hanks is under 6'1" is that i met barry shabaka heinley a few times he is about 186 187 range 6'1.5" not a full 6'2" maybe at peak and in terminal hanks looks aleast 1 to 1.5" inches shorter so 6' or 6'0.5" but if he was 6'1" it means he would be about 1.5" on me 5'11.5" and he was barely 1" on me if so maybe 0.5" on me since i am near 5'11.75 so 6'0.25" should be right but in films he looks more than that at some point i thaught hanks was 6'1" then i have a friend who is 6'1.25" and hanks is aleast 1" smaller so i think hanks is 6' pushing 6'0.5" but looks taller with good posture and also rob you are very precise if you list him at 6'0.25" it means he is not mush taller or shorter i trust you

In the green mile Tom Hanks looks quite tall, and he also looks tall in forrest gump.. (and in you've got mail) so unless he wears special shoes all the time or something, I would say that he'd be about six feet! That would be about the average of all the heights suggested here, so I think that's the closest we'll get! Thank you!

If Tom Hanks looks two inches taller than Barry Pepper than he can't be over 6 feet. I stood next to Barry Pepper in a catering tent during the filming of Flags of our Fathers last summer. I'm 5'11 now, was probably 5'10.5 last summer when I met him and he looked at least a whole inch smaller than me. 5'9.5 is more likely, perhaps even 5'9.

Tom Hanks will certainly be looking taller in his latest movie "THE DA VINCI CODE" where he is paired with the petite and cute Audrey Tautou who stands around 5'3"...from the teasers and rushes, and still photos coming from production, their height differences are too big. Expect to encounter height variances on this movie as close up shots of Audrey and Tom would require her to stand on supports...

This is very strange...
Seal is 6'3.5" and makes Hanks look 5'9" (fist pic)
Steeve Martin is 5'11" and makes Hanks look 6' (second pic)
George W. Bush is 5'11" and makes Hanks look 5'11 (third pic)

Steve Martin is roughly five foot eleven. I've stood next to him and talked with him and he's exactly my height. Hanks is roughly five foot eleven and wears those big s***kicker boots as well as shoes with big heels. The other day the wife and I were at Bloomingdales and I was trying on new shoes. I couldn't get over how some were built up with two inch chunky fat heels. Many of today's average-sized celebs wear them.

I would say he is 6ft. 6 ft.25 in seems right. Tom is about an inch taller than Steve Martin who is listed as 5'11.25. http://editorial.gettyimages.com/source/search/details_pop.aspx?iid=51474075&cdi=0

Yeah I have to agree with those who say Hanks is 5'11 at most. I would say 5'11 maximum and 5'9" minnimum. He looks about 5'9" next to 6'3.5" Seal but is probably taller than that.

My guess would be take 1.5" off of the 6'.25" he is listed on at this site and that would be accurate. By the way, I'm not sure what you thought about the pic of Glenn and DiCaprio, but DiCaprio looked 5'10" to me. Hanks usually appears slightly taller.

You can mostly tell when guys are wearing lifts, though. They tend to look shorter and stumpier than they should for the height they appear ... then you look down at their footware and go ''oh''.

Raj is twisted minded guy, but has opened the cold war debate of who attacks first, if you don't they could do first, but attacking supposes a risk too.
In this occasion are shoes with raisers instead of missils though :P

Erm,... there IS some sort of perverse logic to what raj just said.
If you are pre-supposed to be fudging your height then one might assume all 6' looking men at premieres and celeb events are actually 5'10", etc. even if you ARE 6' to begin with people will assume you are smaller without the magic shoes.
Tinseltown is indeed twisted.

Really, I think he is only 6 foot. I read the comments below about dragnet where some people say he was 1.5-2 inches shorter than Aykroyd. This was not the case. From what I saw, Aykroyd was a half-inch taller. Perhaps if Aykroyd stopped slouching he might be 3/4 inch taller than Hanks, but certainly no more than that.

Editor Rob actually, I think akroyd had good posture in that film, but the difference wasn't that much yes

even though i met him a few times and he looked around 184 cm i wached the green mile and 184 cm looks right or a dtrong 183 cm

I think that 6'.25" is a good 'guesstimate'of his height. I saw an old episode of 'SNL' from the 90's and he looked to be this height. In fact, Steve Martin was also in that episode, and he looked to be about 2 in. taller than he. Conan O'Brien was in that episode as well, and he and Tom Hanks stood next to one another. I wonder if anyone else has seen it? FYI, Elliot Gould was also in that episode, and appeared to be taller than Tom by a few inches. Does anyone know how tall he is?

On 60 Minutes (Aussie version) Tom said: "Everybody says, "Oh, you're much taller than I thought you were going to be." I say, "Is everybody else that short because I'm not that tall?"

Yes, I think Rob should downgrade him, too. He's more like 182cm nowadays. Aykroyd was clearly taller in Dragnet (even without a hat). Maybe Aykroyd was 186cm at this time and Hanks was 183-184 then. Today: 182

that Saving Private Ryan scene is definitely to Danson's height advantage, plus that he is more than an inch taller than Hanks. Hanks has probably always been 6'0 1/4" to 6'0 1/2" and just rounded up a bit.

I think Tom Hanks is about 5'11". He seems to be a little taller than leonardo Dicaprio, and i think leo is about 5'10 or 5'10 1/2". Tom isn't 6'0". If you want confirmation on how a 6'0" person looks, go watch x-files David Duchovany.you might not beleive it but their is a noticiable dofferance between someone who is 6'0" and someone who is 5'11".

I am convinced that Tom Hanks is just about 6'. Leo I believe to be 5'11.5", based on the scenes in The Aviator, when he stands next to Danny Huston, whom I met and guess to be 6'1.5" Leo is about 2 inches shorter. Therefore, Leo is 5'11.5" and Tom Hanks is at least an inch taller at 6'.5".

Tom Hanks is not over 6ft, I mean lets be realistic! I think that Tom is 6ft at the very most but more like 5'11. If you watch Saving Private Ryan this is very clear. Vin Diesel is in that movie and is at least an inch taller than he is. There is also a particular scene where he is standing close to Matt Damon, which is very interesting indeed. Just watch it and you will see what I mean.
