Hardly anything over 6'1". 6'1.25" is my guess; Cassel was not much taller than 5'10.25" Gaspard Ulliel in photos.

Vincent was so funny in the movie ‘Elizabeth’, when he gets caught by Cate Blanchett’s Queen wearing a DRESS! I haven’t heard giggling like that since the young men from ‘Ghost Story’ - extremely intoxicated! - were hanging about outside Alice Kruge’s residence in order to try and woo her. They didn’t stand a chance like THAT! 😂😂😂
Vincent towered over the ballerinas in ‘Black Swan’, and I can’t see him being below 6ft1.5. Actually, the sort of 5 or
so inches that might have been pleasantly acceptable for
Cate Blanchett’s Elizabeth the First…. 👑

Reno I think had a better shot at hitting 6ft2 in his prime than this guy...
@ Rampage. I agree, I can not see him being taller than Reno and I would bet that Reno is taller.

Hi Rob
Who do you think was taller at his peak : Vincent Cassel or Jean Reno ?
Editor Rob
Used to think maybe Cassel, but now I'm not as sure
Hi Rob . Thanks for your answer . My opinion is that Reno was slightly taller but not by much maybe 1 cm.

I think 6ft 1.5 is ok for Cassel. But I wonder if Reno was actually taller than him! Here are some of their photos together from 2000: Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
At the time, Reno was 52 years old so he could still be close to his peak height. Rob, do you believe that Reno was really taller than Cassel?

He could be over the listed height. He is certainly not under it. It would depend when the measurement was taken.

Vincent looks pretty tall in Irreversible. Would have guessed him to be a bit above 6ft1 1/2 in there.

Rob who do you think was tallest at peak out of Cassel, Brosnan, Firth and Carrey?
Editor Rob they all could be argued a bit over 6ft 1 to 1.5. I used to think brosnan could have been the tallest, but the more I saw of him, the more I thought 186....I suppose the other 3 also I've thought 186 at times too!

I saw 'Black Swan' last night, and I can definitely believe that Vincent just tops 6ft1. I know he is obviously going to tower over those ballerinas in their ballet pumps, but as I am their sort of height myself, I know where I come up to on blokes of his size. I agree with 6ft1.25! 🐀🐘🐁
Vincent is also in David Kronenberg's 'A Dangerous Method', which is worth checking out!

Dunno he looked old and not real tall in bourne.
Could be his peak but looks more 6 ft now.
Seen him in several french films smaller than reno.
Good actor really likes weird creepy bad guy roles.
Does have loose posture so I digress.

@Rob, Can you add a photo? In Eastern Promises I thought he looked closer to 6 ft with Viggo but I suspect Viggo was wearing lifts. As Sam says in the film he only looked about 1-1.5 taller but the difference offscreen looks much greater and he looks no less than this..

A solid 6ft1.5in is closer. Similiar to Clive Owen (who I still think is around 6ft2in) in Derailed. Watching La Haine, he reminded me a lot of Jean Reno in that he's that one French actor that looks huge compared to everyone else.

In Eastern Promises, he looks barely six feet, not really taller than Viggo Mortensen. However, in off-screen photos, he can look easily as much as 3 inches taller.

But Cassel looks a shorter beside him in that one movie, which name I have forgotten darn it, at least 1.25 inches smaller.

I agree with poster Hugh: I saw DERAILED when it premiered, and he looked to be at least the same height as Clive Owen, if not a hair taller. 6'1 1/2" for sure, but 6'2" is reasonable for him as well.

The average Frenchmen is 175.5 cm or 5'9.3" and the average Frenchwoman is 163.2 cm or 5'4.5". The average American man is 176.3 cm or 5'9.7" and the average American woman is 162.2 cm or 5'4.1". So, the difference is small. Because there's more people and more genetic & ethnic diversity in America, there are probably many more instances of height extremes in America. In the film The Sorrow and the Pity, members of a French village refer to a 6'1" person as a "giant".

Just watched Derailed the other night, and vincent is easily 6ft2. He stands toe to toe with Clive Owen in the film who is a reported 6ft2.5 that I've never doubted, he looks tall in all his films. In fact in some moments in the film he seems to have an edge on Clive, by a 1/2 inch or so. Could possibly just be tricky camera angles, regardless he's tall.

I think this guy is wright. Cassel is 6'0 at best.
You should see some of his french movies. For instance,
in movie called Les Riviers Purpures = Purple Rivers, he
looks 2inches shorter than Jean Reno.

No way Vincent is 6'2. In Ocean's Twelve he appears to be a little bit taller
than Clooney. Besides, the scenes where he does that "crouching" through the
lasers. Come on, a 6'2 couldn't possibly do that kind of "dance".
