"I think Lincoln has to be played by a tall man. I'm nowhere near as tall ... I'm only 6 feet."
[So what about lifts?] "Naw. Verisimilitude is too important to both Steven and myself to go in that direction."

My dad is 172cm, while I'm 164cm at the age of 17. I've been wearing lifts to make myself appear around 168-9cm. I'm hoping to use lifts in some Chelsea boots to reach 5'7"1/2

He still looks nearly 6 feet tall today. He is probably like 5'11.75" today and was 6'0.25" peak

He could have been a flat 6'0" but that's the absolute most I would give him, when he was at his peak in his 30s & 40s. He just never really struck me as a strong 6 ft guy. And don't forget he had a very slim build through out his younger days, giving him that taller image. I think he was 5'11" 3/4 - 5'11" 7/8 and today 5'11" 1/2. I don't think he's lost much since then. Also Denzel looks to be wearing flat footwear in that photo, as compared to Tom, with the thick healed ones. And Denzel's still barely, but slightly taller. Wouldn't surprise me if Denzel was 6'0" 1/2 and Tom 5'11" 3/4.

it seems like he is now at that age where he is loosing height faster. Just a coule years ago he could seem like 6 foot still but other times 182. But now he can look 5´11 flat in many photos. Beside the guy that palys elvis ( listed at 182 but is closer to just over 183) he did look more lika a 181 guy and beside adam sandler he have big problms with this listing ( but i am one of the few that think sandler really is 5´10 and that still make tom at worst 181). I think he look barely 181 now but can manage to measure littel over still.

There are multiple photos posted on this site of Tom and Austin. It's obvious that Austin is playing around with the either shoe lifts or elevator shoes. One photo, they look 5'11 and 6'0 side by side. Then they look 5'11 and 6'2. Then they look 5'11 and 6'3 together 🤣🤣
Austin needs to stop. He's going to hurt himself.

5ft 11.25 now and 5ft 11.75 peak is possible. Full 6ft is reasonable too. He had a half-inch at least on 180 cm Aaron Eckhart.

I think at the Elvis premiere Austin Butler was sporting well heeled boots that made him look even taller. In all pictures from different events, Butler does have a bit of height over present day Hanks but I think he had an advantage at the event, I’m starting to notice a slump to Hanks that may be permanent.

6ft is ok for his peak overall. Today looks like he's heading toward 5ft11 but he may still squeeze out that extra half inch under the stadiometer

Per lemon's comments below pertaining to the recent footage of Tom with his "Elvis" costar, 5'11.75" (listed here) Austin Butler:
Peak: 5'11"-5'11.5" barefoot, end of day (that's 6'0.5" in shoes, hence some of the 6'1" listings back in the '90s?)
Today: 5'10"-5'10.5" barefoot, end of day

Hi Rob, I guess it's pretty obvious that Tom might be shorter than the current listing. Here is the latest photo of him and Austin Butler(Austin has some footwear advantage and is closer to the camera but still). Maybe it's time for the downgrade?

I think he should receive the downgrade to 5’11 1/4” for his current height. 5’11 1/2” is too high for Tom Hanks nowadays.

Greetings, Rob. From today's photo session with Austin Butler including the footwear. As You can see Austin still has the footwear advantage over Tom but it's not as big as it was yesterday and still Austin is visibly taller than Tom, postures of both included into account. Anyway, there is like a lot of photos from today's session, and you can see why it is hard for me to believe that Tom is only half an inch shorter than Austin. Anyway if You think so then so be it) Click Here

Rob, please take a look, there are a lot of photos from Cannes where you can see Tom Hanks and Austin Butler standing together(Click Here). Even if we consider that Austin Butler is a true six-footer, there is at least 0.75"-1" inch difference in favor of Austin and Tom is really struggling to look even 5'11" in my opinion. Don't You think that 5'11" or 5'11.25" listing for Tom Hanks' current height would be more correct one? TY

Editor RobTom may be getting closer to 5ft 11. He could look 1.5 inches shorter in some photos with Austin, although look at Butler's Heels. That's like an extra inch footwear advantage.

They’ve shown The Green Mile twice this week and today, the channel 5 Star are showing Saving Private Ryan, both films of which star the great Tom Hanks.
You see him weeping at the beginning of both, as he recollects his memories. The Green Mile, based on a Stephen King novel. is from 1935 and Saving Private Ryan, some 9 years later, and shows the true horror of the D-Day Landings, which started on the 6th June 1944, carrying on until the 29th August of the same year. Its code name was Operation Neptune, and the War Veterans claim the horrific events from the film reflect what went on to be frighteningly realistic.
I’m nowhere near as familiar with Saving Private Ryan as I am The Green Mile; in fact, after the opening scenes, I’ve often turned it off with disgust. I’d like to see it properly this time, as Tom Hanks never disappoints.
6ft peak and half-an-inch less today.

Tom Hanks looked six feet tall, or a little over in Forrest Gump. He was clearly edged out by Denzel Washington, and Will Smith had him by more than an inch. Proportionately speaking, his head seems to be quite long for a man of his height which could make him seem shorter. I’d give him around 6 feet for his peak height; maybe a fraction under?

How I enjoy animal films, and I noticed 'Turner and Hooch' was on last night, but I missed it as I was finishing my 'Elizabeth I' DVD, with Helen Mirren as Queen Bess.
This morning, I turned round to ITV2 and heard the dog 'Beethoven' barking 🎶 Jingle Bells 🎶, just before the Emmerdale repeat started - how festive and funny! 😆🐶😂
I saw 'Turner and Hooch' with my Dad at the beginning of the century, trying to hide my tears at the end, but I know he noticed really! 🤭
No Tom Hanks comedy is likely to end unhappily, and 'Turner and Hooch' was no exception! In fact, I need a copy to plump out my Tom Hanks movie collection!

Lemon it’s hard to tell when celebrities are next to each other cause some will wear extra footwear and some won’t, so it’s hard to tell unless your wearing sandals, cause some dress shoes can have 2 inches in them and some can have one inch. So it’s hard to tell.

Hancock is taller than Hanks, Quaid and Costner in photos from the last 5-10 years so minimum 6ft1½ today. It's possible he's a lost a fraction and was 6ft2. But 6ft is such a joke for him when you see how he looks next those guys...

I bet that too for a peak look very tall in the 90s-2000s. Nowadays he might be closer to 6'1 1/2 see it recently of a picture with weak 5'10 Colin Farrell.

For Tom I tend to lean towards 182-182.5 cm range peak and near 181 cm today, but there were times he could pull off the full 6ft.

Denzel's shoes don't look as thick as Tom's.
6ft flat is still ok for Hanks...Washington maybe you could push for being 6ft0½?

He's honest about his height even if sometimes he was erroneously listed at 6'1" over the years. Funny his quote about being short to play Lincoln as Day Lewis (who was of course great in the role,) is at most an inch abd a half taller but can appear more lanky and slender than older Hanks.

Hanks seemed an honest 6 feet in many of his films like Big (Hanks probably had more than one inch on Robert Loggia), Turner & Hooch, Philadelphia, Cast Away etc. I have not ruled out 6’0.25” for Hanks’ peak height but I think a flat 6’0” seems more suitable. In Road To Perdition, 6’0” Ciaran Hinds and Hanks looked very similar in height. Hanks was taller than Bruce Willis in The Bonfire of The Vanities.

I think today he’s of course in the range of solid 5’11. How precisely is the debate. If you consider the pictures w/ Obama he looks a bit shorter than what seems an honest 182cm, John Biden, so I think if measured today then Hanks will drop a bit under 182cm. At peak sometimes he looked an honest 6’/183cm but others he looked more a 5’11.75/182cm guy. Personally I think he was very close to my height (184cm out of bed and 182cm as lowest), maybe with one-half cm taller, while today he’s a good 1-1,5cm shorter...

Hanks could look like a strong 6ft in the past at times but if that is the case then Travolta and Denzel were most likely the full 6ft0½ at least! Their claims are all over the place. Travoltas stuck to just over 6ft, Denzel has claimed 6ft1 and Hanks hasn’t claimed a height....but allegedly could not pursue his dream of being an astronaut because he was too tall as the cut-off height is 6ft!

I don't believe it! I turned my TV on this morning to see 'The Chase' just as a run down of Tom's Top 10 movies was coming to an end! 😝
He knocked me out last night (yet AGAIN!) with his performance in 'The Green Mile'. I couldn't quite see 4" between Tom and David Morse, so I'm giving Tom 6ft and a quarter of an inch for his peak and three-quarters of an inch less for today.
I hope to catch Tom's Top 10 Run Down later on. 🤞

From watching him in the ‘Burbs he looked 5’11 1/2”-5’11 5/8” in socks. The other actors Bruce Dern listed 6’2” (6’1 1/4”-6’1 1/2” in his prime), Courtney Gaines listed at 5’10 3/4” who never looks above that. Standing near Gaines, Hanks looks a centimetre taller. Not sure if Gaines had footwear advantage. Hanks was barefoot in a lot of scenes. Hanks looked maybe a centimetre on Gaines.
Most likely Gaines was wearing shoes and Hanks in flats.

Oh nice! Tom is on the Ellen DeGeneres show and he's playing a game of charades with the audience, which means he's standing up, firstly with Ellen, who looks quite small next to him.
He's wearing a red, Christmas jumper with huge snowflakes and two prominent animals sticking out - the sort of animals I'd have tried to pull off when I was 5 or 6 - and keep as souvenirs!

Hi Rob,
Looking at an SNL sketch that involved Tom Hanks in Halloween 2016. He definitely has lost height as he appears to be shorter than 6-footer Leslie Jones by an inch minimum. He is most probably hunching or has lost around an inch and half from his peak height.

I estimate Tom at peak was 5'11 7/8 (182.6) and probably max 5'11 1/8 now (180.6) comparison with Obama several years ago. Obama could be someone holding 6'1 1/8 (185.7) afterall its because Kobe Bryant was a full 6'5 guy so making Obama look to be 4" shorter and link back to Tom a fraction over 180cm.

He could have lost an inch or 3/4 or he was never proper 6'0. There is some possibility. Hanks atually look 2" shorter than Obama. Obama had a full 4" shorter than 6'4.75" Kobe Bryant but strange that Obama look closer to 6'1 1/4 with 6'0 1/2 Donald Trump, 6'2 1/2 The Rock and many others celebrities. Click Here 2" difference of Tom Hanks with Obama through out the entire video start from 0:17.

This evening at the bus stop, I met a Tom Hanks fan. He was raving about the film 'Forest Gump' and suggested that I should watch it. I will. I've never seen it before.
His name was Mark and he had a beard. He seemed pleased to meet me. We also talked about 'The Green Mile' and we both agreed that it was a very addictive film.
I had to go to hospital today to get my painkillers. On the way back I picked up a plant to plant on Manelia the Second's grave.

Judge from Obama 185.5cm i don't give a mm over 181cm for Tom Hanks unless Obama atually had fraction more footwear but hard to say. Meanwhile i still had strong impression he is only 181cm nowadays but close to 6'0 peak.

I actually Believe that hanks could have been 1/8 over 6 foot at peak. He looked same height as harrison ford in photos in the 90s. & foot is the best listing at peak but if i had to guess that he was over or under it then i thgin 1/8 over.

@ Bobby - I am now on 'Inferno', and the nightmares, followed by hallucinations, are of Dante's Inferno. The nurse, played by Felicity Jones, a child prodigy, who made university at 12, has a poster up in her home of the Sandro Botticelli (from what I have gathered) painting of Dante's inferno and as Tom looks at the painting, he recognises the hallucinations he's been having. Botticelli lived from 1445-1510 for those of you who are interested and Dante from 1265-1321. I checked them out last night!
This is seriously the most absorbing trilogy I have ever seen, and something I know that I will be seeing again and again and again, picking up new things with every watch. Dante himself aroused my interest when Tom said of Dante "This is 700 years old" and then we go on to see a mask made of Dante at the time of his death. He looked anything but happy, having been Banned from Florence for his writings, which included 'The Divine Comedy'.
I first set my eyes on similarly revolting depictions when I visited Hampton Court Palace when I was 14 or 15. There are many pictures up in there showing people being tortured in purgatory and Hell, and scared me to pieces. However, they were/are extremely beautifully painted. I am on the verge of buying a print of the Botticelli picture Felicity Jones, who plays Sienna, has in her home. They are available to buy.
Thanks for getting me into this fascinating part of history. The university course you are studying must be amazing. So far in my life, I have missed out on a huge chunk of the Italian Renaissance and the meaningful paintings and predictions dating back to those times.

Eek! What a terrifying opening to 'Inferno' I have just witnessed! Tom is in hospital suffering from a head trauma, and having the most unbelievable nightmares. There are people walking about with revolting masks on, and some have their heads on back to front, Exorcist-style. No wonder the certificate for this has gone up a notch - it's freaked me right out!

I saw 'The Da Vinci Code' last week and am now watching Robert Langdon*'s second exploratory adventure 'Angels and Demons'. It is a good deal scarier that 'The Da Vinci Code', and both films, I feel, are given 12 certification because of the lack of swearing therein. The rare horror scenes in this are quite shocking.
There are some fantastic support actors including Stellan Skarsgard and Ewan McGregor. There are many, many others, who tend to be so tall that Tom looks decidedly average, and that's most unusual - except, perhaps, in 'The Green Mile', which also has an exceptionally tall cast.
I saw very recently in a rundown of the 10 nicest actors to work with that Tom is THE TOP in this rather privileged listing! There is a least pleasing actors to work with chart too if you fancy a laugh, but I won't go into that....
Tom gets 6ft peak and half-an-inch less for today's height. 😊

I highly doubt hanks was EVER over 6', as someone mentioned below, 6' geena Davis edged him out in, a league of their own, and I even posted a pic awhile back from the 90s when Harrison Ford edged him out, who most on here agree, by then Ford was down to no more than a flat 6'. And of course, 6' denzel edged him out by a tad in, Philadelphia.

It’s interesting to see that most people on here believe Hanks to have been over 6’ 0” at his peak. Perhaps he was 6’ 0.5” at his peak making him very clos to either Harrison Ford or Chris Pine.

I just saw the film, the post, too, Rob? I honestly didn't think Jesse plemons was a full 5'10", but maybe that's an argument that hanks, at age 60 or 61, whatever he is now, has lost just a tad? Maybe 5'11.25"-5'11.5" peak, down to a flat 5'11" now?

Yeah, under 5'10" now or ever is ridiculous. I would say though the voters on this site having his peak height at over 6' is wrong. I really would put him in the 5'11" to 5'11.5" range. Not sure in any height loss. Tom seems to have held up well.

Under 5'10"?! Come on. He can still look 181 cm with Obama in the video Junior posted or at least around 5'11". It's possible he was always 5'11" range, but he did look taller than 5'11" guys like Joe Mantegna and Leonardo Dicaprio and I think he was taller than solid 5'11"-5'11.5" Bruce Willis as well. He could also look about 4" taller than Antonio Banderas in Philadelphia and Banderas is probably 5'8", though listed 5'8.5" here.

I don't think he's shrunk much. Strong 5'11" range back in the old days and still at worst weak 5'11" range now. I know he only looks 5'10" with Obama there, but the posture is all varied and we know nothing about the footwear. I don't think he was ever quite a 6 footer though. I go 181-182 peak, 180-181 today for Hanks.

Ford is closer to the camera, but it's still pretty obvious he looks taller. Plus, per his usual posture, he's slouching, and Hanks, as usual, has pretty good posture. Below, another more recent photo, where actually I was wrong before, they look pretty close in height, but Ford has obviously lost height, so that would put the 2 of them in the 5'11" range. I actually don't think Hanks looks any shorter now than what he looked in the past. I might even go as far as to say he looks taller? Maybe lifts have been brought into the equation since he's become -per his own words while hosting SNL LOL - "National Treasure"?? LMAO

Still convinced Hanks was ever a solid 6'0"? That pic I'm guessing was taken in the '90s when most on here agree Harrison Ford was down to no more than 6'0" himself. I found another more recent pic of the 2 stars which still had Ford edging out Hanks, although by a slimmer margin. I don't think Hanks was ever more than 5'11"-5'11.25". About the same today...

If Peter Scolari was 5' 6" then Hanks had to have been like 6' 1" or 6' 2" in his prime. A person 5' 6" stands just under the nose of a person who is 6' 1", and Scolari barely came up to Hanks' chin. Just curious if anyone has actually stood next to him?

6' tall. Between 182.5-183.1 during youth. Most of his height is in his long face which can make him look shorter if you look at just his body proportions which I can understand his erroneous 5'11.5" guesses. He edged vin Diesel who at best may be 181,9 so rob is ok.

Yeah he was never quite a 6 footer. Comfortably in the 5'11" range though. 181 - 182 cm range, and that can look 6ft to a lot of people.

Now looks a weak 6ft natural at his age.
not sure why but 160 seems an absurd claim he was never skinny.
Now he looks 180 min at 5 11.75.
One of the best actors all time.

Tom is a tall guy for an actor. 183cm back in the day. Around 181cm, looks tall in movies like Big, Saving Private Ryan etc.

Was watching Bosom Buddies earlier. Tom is definitely not under 6 foot. At least a solid 6ft0.25in. Probably a bit below that now

@Rob: I tried posting this video on the Joe Mantegna page, but it won't go through for some reason: Click Here Is the video blocked?
Anyway, it's relevant here as well since it helped convince me Hanks could have been a full 6 feet and that Mantegna is more 5'11" flat. But nowadays, Hanks looks more a flat 5'11" himself with Obama: Click Here Eastwood is also still taller when standing decently as well.

5'11 and 3/4 is a reasonable argument.
182 or 183 he was
Still stick with my 183 guess,
My reason Willis:
Edged out 180 listed Aaron eckhart in "sully"
Edged out 181 listed Leo in "catch me if you can"
And he edged out 182 listed vin in "SPR"
Notes, yes I know rob may have been generous and vin Is 181, if that, but we still have to refer to a separate celeb as robs listing.
Option a: 183/6' prime 181/182 5'11.5 today

Even if another celebs listing is far off robs estimate, you still have to refer to it as it. In "saving private Ryan", tom edged out vin, so tom peak wasn't 182, at worst he was 5'11 and seven eighths.

@Carl
From a mathematical point of view, given how density is defined, you're obviously right. Empirically, though, I'm not so sure. I would venture to guess that thickly built people maintaining a healthy weight throughout their lives have a greater likelihood of minimizing height loss.

I've just seen Tom mucking around and joking about himself on the Ellen de Generes show, also being charming to members of the audience who had been selected to meet him!
I did get the chance to measure him up against Ellen and there was a difference of 5 plus inches, I would say!
His posture is still fine, so I reckon he won't have lost too much from his original height. He can have 5ft11.5.

My guess would be that he is slightly closer to 5'11" than 6' these days. I think if you have a thin bone structure, like Hanks, you have a greater chance of bone deterioration and therefore a greather chance of noticeable height loss. Thickly built men, if they are not excessively overweight, can probably hold on to their peak height longer than average.

There was not 4.5cm difference between him and Obama. More like 2-2.5, maybe 3, tops. In recent pictures with his son Colin Hanks there seems to be around 2-2.5cm difference between the two. Colin Hanks is a solid 185cm. I'd say Tom is still pretty close to 183cm. No way he's below 182, can't be.
