6’3” - 6’4” is possible!

Gina should have a page!
James B 172cm said on 7/Sep/23
Rob maybe add him to the eastenders height page?

He’s the tallest cast member in the shows history
Arch Stanton said on 7/Jun/23
Yeah he's got to be around 194cm barefoot. I'm sure some people would think he was 6 ft 5 or 6.

He looks really tall in Eastenders...
Cameron murray said on 3/Jun/23
Easily looks 6’5 in Eastenders maybe the cast is short or he has bigger footwear he never looks short in anything I’ve seen him in 6’4 barefoot definitely .
Gladstone Screwer said on 12/May/23
Just watched Colin in a 1993 Lovejoy. He appeared gigantic against McShane, who, to be fair, was 5’8” at very most.

I’d go with 6’4.5”.
Gerald S said on 14/Mar/23
Rob, could Salmon please be added to the Bond Actors tag as Robinson?
Robbe said on 9/Mar/23
@Rampage, yeah, Colin looked every bit of 6'4 in Midsomer Murders Click Here Click Here
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 27/Dec/22
Average guess is off. 6ft4 and change is definitely closer. The photo doesn’t accurately capture it though…

Hey Rob fun fact I think salmon would make a great Lex Luther he has all features for it tall bald heavy set commanding appearance evil 😏

Looks 6'3 in this picture...

Solid 3in on Brosnan in the Bond movies....

He looks about a head taller than Ben Kingsley. Listing makes sense.

Caaq said on 4/Dec/21
This looks like a 7 inch difference or 6.5 inch. Based on this photo, he would look 6-3 or 3.5. Which is still very tall. But in Arrow, he looks taller. In fact he looks a pretty comfortable 6-5. So i would say this listing is prrfect. I would even give him 6-4.5
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 4/Sep/21
He’s clearly around this mark when you see him with other guys over 6ft
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 31/Jul/21
It's not often that an actor makes the papers for being tall, dark and handsome, but that's exactly how it was when Colin hit the scene! 🐟

His height could possibly have something to do with a salmon-packed diet while he was growing up, fish being crammed full of tip-top, high quality protein and essential fatty acids, Omega 3 to be precise.

Hah! He hasn't changed one iota, either; fantastic, if you have the genes! 😂😲😂

6ft4.25. 😉👌

People talking about tallest names on the site, Bill has to be up there. I read: Average Bill: 6ft 0.49in (184.1cm)
Slim 6'1" said on 14/Jan/21
193 peak
Vincent Caleb said on 4/Jan/21
Defined no less than 6’4”, this listing is a strong possibility.
Andrea said on 25/Dec/20
The photo above just goes to show that Rob's photos with celebrities don't always do justice to their heights, as there's no chance he's as a short as he looks there (6'3ish)!
I remember in Arrow (from the very few eps I've seen) he did look over 3 inches taller than Amell, possibly right around 3.5 inches, so 6'4-6'4.25 is a believable range for him (against Amell's 6'0.5-6'0.75).
Canson said on 23/Dec/20
I’ve seen more of him. He does look a legit 6’4”
RJT said on 19/Dec/20
He barely look 6'2.5" in that pic but i trust Rob wouldn't make near 2 inch mistake.

I knkw because happened to me too, when taking 2 shoot pic with my solid 5'11 brother, he only "looked" 2" shorter even though out height difference is 3 inches and change.

Why do you think that is Rob?
Editor Rob
some height has gone awol for sure, because he looked taller than this photo suggested.

If you watch Salmon in a lot of appearances he never seemed any less than 6ft 4 range, sometimes in tv/film even looking nearer 6ft 5.
Canson said on 5/Dec/20
@Editor Rob: if you thought he was a solid 6’4”, why the 6’4.25 listing?
Editor Rob
because in person he looked tall enough to think there is a chance he is a fraction over it.
Nik Ashton said on 7/Oct/20
Rob’s posture ain’t very good!
Editor Rob
the angle either helped me or his posture turned out worse! I don't know which it is...
Slim 6'1" said on 6/Oct/20
194 when young
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 18/May/20
@Rob
I know that both "Rob" and "Robert" are pretty high up there, but neither are 6'0"+. It's interesting how even an 8'11" Robert Wadlow can't bump the Robert average up to 6'0".
Christian 6'5 3/8 said on 16/May/20
@Rob
Which first name has the highest listed average here? I could've sworn that I've seen at least a couple of names, where the averages were 6'+.
Editor Rob
I am not sure which, but several are within 5ft 11.5 range.
Jam Cherry said on 15/May/20
Definitely 6’4” roughly 193 cm
Joseph P Monaghan said on 29/Mar/20
6'4 definitely
Canson said on 9/Nov/19
@Rob: you really thought closer to 194 than 193?
Editor Rob
Salmon in person is one of the more comfortable 6ft 4 guys, albeit I don't think he looked it in the photo...

also it's worth remembering that I'm able to see some other people beside Salmon in these opportunities, which can help estimating.
Nik Ashton said on 1/Sep/19
It looks like Colin and his agency are honest!
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 19/Aug/19
Wow! The average Colin is nearly 6ft! Now Colin really IS a tall man's height, and this one's particularly lanky!

6ft4.25.
Caruso Victor said on 21/Jun/19
Maybe do a peak height? Because at 57 I suspect there’s some shrinkage there. I always thought he was over 6’4 as a young/er man. Perhaps he’s lost 1/2 an inch now?
Editor Rob
Many men can reach 50-55 with no visible loss, but once into 55-60, that is a range in which they can start to lose a big fraction.
Mickie said on 29/Dec/18
6'4" even.
Jordan87 said on 19/Dec/18
He is dipping his head which is why he gets listed at 1.25" More than he looks in the picture?
Editor Rob
He looked taller in person than he ended up in the photo.
Bobby said on 28/Oct/18
According to his eye level, he should be 6'2.5. That's weird.

Does that mean he's dropping 1.5 inches, Rob?
Editor Rob
Or the camera has taken some height from his side and added it to mine...the girl who took it knows about CelebHeights too!
berta said on 28/Jul/18
this guy always looks legit 6 foot4. I dont think he is over the lised height but he is never under 193 flat, the photo is making him appear 191 but there is no way he is that "short".
Nik said on 22/Jul/18
He looks under 6'4", but I do trust Rob!
Canson said on 19/Jul/18
Solid 6’4 not strong
MAD SAM said on 19/Jun/18
Always though he was 6’5”, this guy gets 194 cm from me
Dream(5'9.5 said on 13/Jun/18
He does look a strong 6'4".

Rob, would you say Colin Salmon would be closer to 6'4 3/8ths" or 6'4 1/8ths"?
Editor Rob
Not sure he would be nearer 6ft 4.5, but 4 3/8th would be top end of estimate and maybe 6ft 4 the lowest.
Deacon Ashworth said on 11/Jun/18
Rob you’re upper back is leaning back towards his back.
Editor Rob
Yes, we both are losing height, whether he lost an inch more or the camera took an inch from his side I'm not sure, but he's no less than 6ft 4 trust me on that.
leoleo said on 27/May/18
Colin Salmon is really has a strong 6 ft 4 and you put some over his head to put some doubts in the mind of the people because you are a angry jealous white male end of topic !!!!

Jordan87 said on 2/May/18
Rob,

There I am Thinking Goldie is giving more of a lean with, but yes he is no DOubt a tall Fella.

Your Picture with him points more towards 6'3 than 6'4 , was he losing posture here ?
Editor Rob
Either he managed to lose an inch more or an inch was lost in the camera.
Jordan87 said on 1/May/18
Rob,

He himself claims 6'4 and looks 6'3 with you, why the 6'4.25"?
Editor Rob
There will be some guys in that range who'd never add a fraction to their claim, they'd just say 6ft 4.

Remember he can look Like this with Goldie...who is taller than me in person.
Bobby said on 23/Apr/18
Oh wow, I just realized he was in Alien vs. Predator, came back here to tell Rob to add the listing and then saw it was already up there.
tupp said on 12/Mar/18
has around 2'' on David Walliams who I doubt is less than 6'2'', probably more 6'2.5, so must be at least 6'4'' despite how he looks with Rob.
Junior Hernandez said on 7/Feb/18
Ray Stevenson look nothing over 6'3 compare to Colin Salmon. Salmon maybe 6'4 1/4 peak and 6'4 now. Another 4 years from now he maybe down to 6'3.75".
Jug said on 27/Jan/18
He towered over Brosnan in Die Another Day. He was probably 6'4 in his peak. A very handsome man. Would have made a great black James Bond. Also an amazing Othello--think about it.
Marc said on 20/Dec/17
If he's six hour .25 why is it his only touched the 6ft3 mark? Is he not standing to his full potential?
Editor Rob
either he dropped an inch more than it seemed or the camera reduced the difference.

This guy is an inch taller in person than Zachary levi, who as folk say on his page, his sister insists measured a hair over 6ft 4 barefoot!
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 17/Dec/17
In The Punisher he's clearly taller than Ray Stevenson whose a solid 6ft3 at least...
Anonymous said on 15/Nov/17
Rob,

He just about hits the 6'3" Mark on your chart, why the extra 1.25"?
Editor Rob
well I was certain he looked up close a solid 6ft 4 man...either height was lost in the way the photo was taken or he dropped a good inch more maybe in his spine.
Bobby said on 7/Nov/17
Actually Rob, can you add that he's appeared on Limitless for the TV show? He was in almost all the episodes of season 1. I know the show got canned due to low ratings, but he did appear in that show more than once, enough to warrant that he's been on it.
Editor Rob
yeah I can slip that in, I've only watched 1 episode, but there's too many shows, you need to pick and choose.
Matthew Robinson said on 23/Sep/17
Looks 6'3" in this picture, but I'd still give him 6'4" flat as he claims. The .25 is unnecessary but he's 6'4".
Realist said on 20/Aug/17
He looks 6 or 7 inches so he's strong 6'3 maybe 6'4 I am 5'9.3-75 and people mistake me for 5'7 and I dwarf 5'6 folks often
Bobby said on 17/Aug/17
He looked big on Limitless, he made Jake McDoorman look small even though the guy is 6ft tall.
Slim 182 cm said on 10/Aug/17
I didn't see that one coming! 👍🏻

Very tall in arrow, compared to amell, who could potentially just be a weak 6'1. 4 inches between them is probable.
Slim 182 cm said on 10/Aug/17
Rob, pls remove the mugshot asap, just like u did with Jensen ackles page, the guy seems to be leaning and losing 2.54 cm of potential length.
Editor Rob
I'm leaning too.

him = 6 foot 3 rob = 5 foot 8 it can not be more obvious
184guy said on 16/Jul/17
@Rob I was taking a looking os some movie premieres and even very tall guys like Joe or Colin doesn't looking that tall in the crowd.Especially when you have social events with many woman using heels. Here in Brazil where the average of male is supossed to be only 5'8 , there are lots of situations where you will feel in the short range . I believe the real number to a male Brazilian adult is nearer 5'9 and for the teens near 5'10,pretty much the same as UK I guess.Even myself,generally I am in the comfortably range to feel tall but there are various situations where Im just average. It's so weird to me.
184guy said on 16/Jul/17
@Rob
How Colin stack up in comparsion to Joe Manganiello in person ?
Editor Rob
shorter, but not that much really.

Both are crowd standouts, I watched them take photos with a bunch of people - Colin had worse overall posture with fans, dropping 1-2 inches in poses easily...which is why I asked him to try a back to back...

I done the same with Alastair Petrie as he too wasn't standing well with the people in front, but that photo came out pretty much as accurate as I could have hoped, Colin's didn't...he seemed taller in person than in the photo!
World Citizen said on 13/Jul/17
Rob I don't know how you came to this conclusion but he certainly doesn't look that tall with you on the picture. Is 194 his peak height?
Editor Rob
he did seem a very solid 6ft 4 guy that day, I didn't think he was shorter than a big 6ft 4 guy looks in person.
Slim 181 cm said on 12/Jul/17
Legit 6'4, trim away that quarter inch please.
even said on 4/Jul/17
hes no more than 6 foot 3 as you all can see
Giorgi said on 27/Jun/17
Am I blind? On the picture there is no way he can stretch out up to this listing.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 18/Jun/17
He looked near 3in taller than Brosnan.
MrTBlack said on 24/May/17
Yeah I can see the 6'4.25" listing since he dwarfed 6'1" Pierce in "The World is not enough".
Christian-196.5cm (6ft5 3/8) said on 23/May/17
Editor Rob: If you were 6ft 4.25, you'd probably just say 6ft 4...I feel Salmon is one of those guys.

-------

Not all 6'4.25" guys claim 6'4". I've met a lot of guys around that height claim 6'5", some even 6'6".
Editor Rob
well I'm referring to the more honest, rather than those who do round up 3/4 or more ;)
shiva 181 cms said on 23/May/17
@rob he claimed 6'4 why not leave him at that, a true 6'4 guy could be overestimated
Editor Rob
If you were 6ft 4.25, you'd probably just say 6ft 4...I feel Salmon is one of those guys.

Wtf he looks 6'3
Jordan87 said on 4/Apr/17
6'3", Based on Rob's Picture. Right on the Dot.
josh jeffords said on 12/Mar/17
Looks 6 3 by photo with stadio and without his sight level is way over a 6 1 guy would tower but not be forced to look down.
He is over 6 3 on film he has either shrunk or likes boots and big heel, towered recent kevin costner so id say still close to 6 4.
Also the bonds did seem shorter in avp that is true still tall but didnt look over 6 2 with many average or under folks.
Did look very tall in his small part in london has fallen again back over 6 3 may 4.
TheReel said on 27/Feb/17
My bad I meant he looks six one next next to Rob if Rob was standing straight because Rob is leaning backwards so five an a half inches difference minus half a inch = five, its doubtful he's six one though but he sure looks it here 3 inches have gone missing sack whoever took this disgraceful photo
TheReel said on 26/Feb/17
This dude looks five and a half inches taller than Rob with better posture as well look at salmon standing straight and rob leaning back to be perfectly honest I would think he's six one next to rob four inches if Rob stood straight, there must be some MASSIVE height disappearance in this photo it's mad dude litterally look six one serious again notice Rob leaning backwards while salmon stood straight I trust Rob though that he ain't under six four, but it is true three inches are missing from this photo seriously,
berta said on 21/Feb/17
looks like photo is taken from below so i guess thats why he looks like he only is little over 6 foot 3 or barely 6 4 i wonder if he really is over 6 foot 4 though i think his frame and good posture can make him look littel taller
joe### said on 11/Jan/17
Looks strong 6'4 with Stephen amell and Pierce brosnan
6'1 cowboy said on 10/Jan/17
Wow, This guy is way bigger than I would have thought. In resident evil he looked about 6'1. With Rob he looks over 6'4
Sandy Cowell said on 5/Dec/16
I remember when Colin was first on the scene in 'Prime Suspect' with Helen Mirren. It certainly made the headlines that this handsome guy was 6ft4!
He's proved himself to be a force to be reckoned with by landing prime Hollywood parts now! Good for him!
He's on the slender side at 14 and a quarter stone. I had a friend of that height who shrivelled down from 17 stone to 14, and it didn't suit him. He was ideal at 15 stone, but 14 stone seems just fine for Colin!
Jordan87 said on 28/Nov/16
Solid 6'3 Guy, Clearly under 6'4 However.
186cm said on 26/Nov/16
Watch arrow there is a 0% chance this guys 6'3 an inch taller than Paul blackthorne and much taller than weak 6ft1 Stephen amell. 6'4 flat is the lowest he should be guessed
billy said on 2/Nov/16
Way taller than he appeared in resident evil. I would have guessed 6 foot to 6' 1.
Steve said on 27/Oct/16
Doesn't look anything over 6'4 IMO
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 25/Oct/16
Rob, could 6ft4 be closer?
Editor Rob
at his low yes...but during the day I think he - at least all through his 30's and 40's creeped over 6ft 4 flat.
Peter 179cm said on 25/Oct/16
Doesn't look over 189-190cm,and that's barely an estimate... I don't know,both Rob and Salmon seem to be slouching a bit,especially Rob.
I'm gonna go with 6'3 flat/almost 191cm.
Aza said on 23/Oct/16
On reflection he is taller than 6'3 but not quite the full 6'4.
S.J.H said on 22/Sep/16
Look carefully everyone. The top of his ear and eye level was about 3-4cm apart as he face down. If he look up straight he is decent 6'4 but abit hard to get close to 6'4.25
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 15/Sep/16
Rob, who do you think would measure taller Salmon or Alex Skarsgaard?
Editor Rob
both very similar I think, I doubt you'd get more than a 1/8th between them.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 13/Sep/16
Looking at stuff he's in it's quite obvious he's in the 6ft4 zone with 194cm being a safe bet.
Puma said on 27/Aug/16
Your posture is bad in the pic, Rob?
Editor Rob
I didn't know how much colin might lose so I of course dropped height, and he dropped either a bit more in his spine or the camera took a couple of cm away from his side because he did look a decent 6ft 4 guy.
The Man said on 30/Jul/16
For all the people claiming Colin of being 6'2.5" or 6'3", I don't think you realize how much height he is dropping by slouching. If he had the same posture as Rob did, he would look a solid 6'4"
Aza said on 21/Jul/16
Looks 75 inches realistically. Rob were both your and Salmon's footwear similar?
Editor Rob
yes within a small fraction.
Alex said on 2/Jul/16
Weird proportions in this pic Rob, you reach his nose, so, even if you was a 176 cm in that photo, Salmon could have been not over 6'3 cm. If he is a real 6'4 strong, then, in that photo he was around 196 cm, but he can be possible only if you was a 180-181 cm, and we know you are not. The proportions in the photo and the chart height suggest he is a 6'3.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 29/Jun/16
Rob did McPartlin and Hertzberg look taller than Salmon and Padalecki?
Editor Rob
McPartlin I think probably is more of the decent 6ft 4.5 guy, he is taller up close than Jared.

Hertzberg really isn't taller, he has the best camera angle...
Alex said on 27/Jun/16
Rob he's tall like Padalecki?
Editor Rob
he gives a taller impression than Jared does...but they aren't really far apart, I think Salmon is the more likely to measure taller.
Arch Stanton said on 18/Jun/16
It's just one photo with Rob people. See him in film and TV, I thought he could often look a proper 6'4.5.
we said on 30/May/16
weak 6 ft 3....Rob look at the height chart!!!!!
Johno said on 27/May/16
6'3.5 would be his average.
Editor Rob
believe me, he looks taller in reality than the photo suggests.
Eric said on 11/May/16
weak 6'3(barely 190) if he is standing straight...

S.J.H said on 24/Apr/16
I think if colin look up straight in picture then people will change impression saying his 6'4 or so. I believe at least 6'3.75 in person he standing this range
Alex said on 10/Apr/16
He's 6'3, his frame make think he is more tall.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 4/Apr/16
Still scratching my head over this photo because he has looked at least 6ft4½ in the past, at times even a weak 6ft5...
184.3cm (Night) said on 30/Mar/16
He doesn't look it in the pic Moke but he is nothing under 6'4". Watch some of the movies he is in or watch Arrow. He makes everyone look small.
Moke said on 26/Mar/16
I believe 6'3.25, maybe 6'3.5, but not over 6'4.
6'2 is hilarious.
Ice said on 21/Mar/16
Strong 6'2 with Rob ..
Aaron Zamora said on 20/Mar/16
how do you look so tall next to him?
Editor Rob
either he dropped more height than I thought or an inch or so was lost with the camera position because up close he is a decent 6ft 4.
Tunman said on 20/Jan/16
Similar to someone like Padalecki in my opinion.Legit 6'4 but I think the .25 is useless.
Xavier said on 6/Nov/15
Solid 1.90 m.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 13/Sep/15
Rob, are you sure he's similar to Ryan McPartlin in the flesh?
Editor Rob
he looks a big 6ft 4 up close, I certainly doubt he'd fall under the mark today.
Arch Stanton said on 3/Aug/15

Looks 6'5.5 there with Prince Charles and leaning!
Arch Stanton said on 3/Aug/15
Yes he looks about 6'3 here but if you really see him in films he can look near 6 ft 5 and easily 6'4.
Matthew said on 25/May/15
He must have dropped height in the photo as Rob thinks. He looks about 6'3" here, no more than that really.

This guy looks like he'd be 2in below Ryan McPartlin if they stood together
MrTBlack said on 5/Dec/14
Hey Rob, if anything this guys is 6'4.5-6'5" would you agree? The below 6'4" comments are ridiculous to me.
Editor Rob
I think he's a strong 6ft 4, at times in his career could look 6ft 4.5.

But to be fair, in the photo he doesn't look it...he's nearly the same height as Ryan Mcpartlin up close.
Height182 said on 3/Dec/14
Doesn't look 6'4'' at all in the picture above.
Andrea said on 22/Nov/14
Rob, maybe you should talk about this "missing inch" in the description because everyone come here and say "he's not 6'4"! 6'3 is delusional, he's clearly above that mark even of this pic doesn't show that! Why aren't you standing at your tallest, once again?
Editor Rob
with people in front his posture was great at times, not great other times so I went in a bit lower myself.
184.3cm said on 22/Nov/14
Lookd similar to Kevin Sorbo next to you in this photo, strong 6'3 range. Always drops height next to fellow actors but his posture looks decent here, is he tilting his head here?. Strange as i always took him for solid 6'4.
Editor Rob
sorbo is pretty much a decent 6ft 3, but Salmon I don't know where an inch went in the photo...obviously I'm not standing as tall as I can either, I'll blame the photographer because he looks a decent 6ft 4 in person.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 21/Nov/14
192cm max with Rob

C'mon guys! 6'2 (188cm) for Colin? In the picture his height similar to Kevin Sorbo's, so I see 6'3.25 (191cm) minimum but I believe it for Rob that he can really look taller in the real life.
Ryan said on 19/Nov/14
6'3.5 I am sure
Rhonda said on 18/Nov/14
I don't see 6ft4 considering your slouching Rob. Looks 6ft2 here.

I think he looks near 6ft 3 in the photo but in person, believe me he really can look taller.
AlexMahone said on 17/Nov/14
Rob, what do you think, who is taller, Ray Stevenson or Colin? Because in the "Punisher: War Zone" the two heights was almost the same. Ray is 6'4 (193cm) as well or very close...
Editor Rob
I've got it in my house somewhere but will have to watch it one day...
Andrea said on 17/Nov/14
Sorry Rob if i insist, but if Jared Padalecki is not shorter than him why they are listed 1/4 inches apart? Jared is the perfect example of a solid 6'4 guy, IMO, so maybe he deserves a 6'4.25 listing too?
Editor Rob
Colin maybe had more of a solid 6ft 4 impression I feel on reflection.
Jake T. said on 16/Nov/14
He looks 6'3 max in the photo, i'm not sure about 6'4.25 for Colin.
Oanh said on 16/Nov/14
About 7" taller than Rob. Solid 6'3"...maybe 6'3.5"
MrTBlack said on 16/Nov/14
If anything this guy is 6'5". He's nothing less than 3" taller than Brosnan! Just look at him in Die another day next to Brosnan. It looks like 1/2' difference. Unless Pierce is 5'10", you guys can't honestly think he's below 6'4"!
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 15/Nov/14
Salmon comes in at a mediocre 6ft3 with Rob. Huge disappointment since we always had faith in this guy as being a textbook example of how tall legit 6ft4+ should look :(
Editor Rob
unfortunately no the perfect photo to show it...but he really is a good 6ft 4er up close.

I mean look at a near perfect photo like Deobia on front page - Salmon in person isn't much shorter than Deobai looks...
Lillo thomas said on 11/Nov/14
I don't know if this guy is 6'4 in person but in the pic with Rob he looks 6'2.5 max.
joe said on 11/Nov/14
strong 6´4
mike said on 11/Nov/14
Looks 6ft 2-3 range here. hmmmm...
Arch Stanton said on 11/Nov/14
Brosnan is 61 I think Connor so might be reaching the stage where he starts to lose height. I would never place too much emphasis on one photo though. An inch can easily be lost as shown here. Just because he comes up the same as the 6'3.5" challenger doesn't mean he is that. Rob has enough experience to spot the difference between a solid 6'4" and 6'3"!
Andrea said on 11/Nov/14
Rob, think about a Sly... I mean, he'd never let it happen, he probably would ask a refund if even a mm went away in a photo, especially with you xD He'd pay the photographer himself, a photographer trained for years and years for your first meeting :)
Editor Rob
this photographer is aware of celebheights, we talked about it! To be fair she's taken a fair few photos and many I think look spot on too what I see in person...in some the actor or myself could look a little taller...

I think Sly would have a word with a photographer beforehand, 'make me tall!'
Paul said on 10/Nov/14
I don't buy an 8 inch plus difference, more like a tad over 7.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 10/Nov/14
I saw 2-3in between Brosnan and Salmon in all three of the latter's Bond appearances.
Connor183 said on 10/Nov/14
@Arch Stanton Pierce was 6ft 1-6ft 1.25 in his Bond films right?, now he's in his 50s? then i think he has probably lost a little bit, a fraction under 6ft 1 today is quite possible.

@Rob with that comparison of Colin and the almost 6ft 3.5 guy Colin looks a bit shorter he's probably around 6ft 3 flat, 194cm for Colin seems a bit too much.
Andrea said on 10/Nov/14
Thanks! How tall you think he looks with the 6'3.5 guy? 6'2.5?
Editor Rob
a solid 6ft 3
Arch Stanton said on 10/Nov/14
World is Not Enough was 1999 Connor. Brosnan was 40 odd, unlikely to have lost height.
Andrea said on 10/Nov/14
He's got a pretty "big" eyelevel, doesn't he, Rob? 5 good inches? Could you do a photo comparison with the plumber guy and the almost 6'3.5 guy?
Editor Rob
yes his eyelevel might be 5 inches, then with a slight tilt it then can look 5.25 in a photo like this, which is why he's not much smaller than the almost 6ft 3.5 guy (whose hairstyle doesn't add much) - Click Here
Connor183 said on 10/Nov/14
@Arch Stanton Pierce Brosnan nowadays could be 184-184.5cm, i agree just barely over 6ft today, not under 6ft.
Tommo said on 10/Nov/14
Crazy that he's noticeably taller than Lars Mikkelsen in person, Lars looks like he should be about 3 inches taller based on the photos, having a full head on you. Just goes to show how vital getting the right camera angle can be.
Modeus said on 9/Nov/14
If the bottom of the nose to the top of an average sized head is about 6,5-7 inches and that Rob comes almost 2 cm above the bottom of his nose i can't see more than 6ft2,5 aswell.That's weird because he look a good 4,5 inches taller than cumberbatch.
Arch Stanton said on 9/Nov/14
@Alex, if Colin is just 6'3.25 Pierce Brosnan is barely over the 6' mark...
Arch Stanton said on 9/Nov/14
I'd guess that this is the perfect example of why you should never trust one photo to judge height. Rob seems adamant in person he looked noticeably taller than this and if you see Colin in films he looks AT LEAST 6'4". Odd that he only looks 189-190 here though.
Editor Rob
yeah, trust more my estimate, as height has gone awol in the photo...

If I had the photographer who took the gwendoline/lars mikkelsen photos he might have came out looking a lot more like a big 6ft 4...

Trust me, Salmon is definitely taller up close than both of those 6ft 3 rangers.
Alex 6'0 said on 9/Nov/14
Shredder, I agree 6.5 inch difference making this guy just a bit shy of 6'3
Danimal said on 9/Nov/14
Glad I'm not the only one who sees a guy who looks max 6'2.5" next to 5'8"-5'8.5" Rob.
the shredder said on 9/Nov/14
He looks 6.5 inches over Rob.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 8/Nov/14
Rob, did he really look 194cm in person?
Editor Rob
although in this photo unfortunately he has lost a good inch somewhere, believe me I seen him up close and with a few people and he is a stick on to be 6ft 4 range, not under it.

If he measured sub 6ft 4 I'd throw the stadiometer over the Brooklyn Bridge.
Arch Stanton said on 8/Nov/14
If Colin is 6'2.5 Pierce Brosnan is struggling with 6'!!
Arch Stanton said on 8/Nov/14
Finally the photo is up! Only thing is it'll be getting the downgraders out in force now saying he looks 6'2.5-6'3" max!! Something is up here, did G steal inches from Colin's height or something?
Alex 6'0 said on 8/Nov/14
I think 6'3.25/191cm looks spot on
MrTBlack said on 8/Nov/14
He's at least 6'4" guys. He was at least 3" if not more taller than Brosnan in "World is not enough".
miko said on 8/Nov/14
This is living proof that 1 photo doesn't always tell the truth. A 6'4 guy could easily lose an inch with a drop in posture before a photo etc...
James B said on 8/Nov/14
Looks 6'2 with rob
Andrea said on 8/Nov/14
Why not listing Jared at 6'4.25 then? That would be a fine listing, IMO!
Connor183 said on 8/Nov/14
@Alex 6'0 he looks a weak 6ft 4 to me, but 6ft 3.25 isn't impossible either I guess.
KROC said on 8/Nov/14
This picture must be shortchanging him somehow. Rob did Jenny take a picture with him? He generally looks 6'4 to me.
Editor Rob
unfortunately these organisers don't do what some do and allow a second person in a photo, they charge you 20 quid for each person basically, so she only gets a rare photo now and again the last 2 years.
yenz said on 8/Nov/14
I'm looking through media images, and this guy definitely gives the impression of a 6'4" guy. Characteristic stuff like a 36" inseam, XL clothes.
Andrea said on 8/Nov/14
He actually doesn't look over 6'2.5 here, but yeah, the photo must have taken some height away because 6'2.5 would make Stephen Amell no more than 5'11 range (and Jensen Ackles closer to 5'10 which is impossible)!!! Rob, could he be 6'4 flat? Did he really look taller than Jared Padalecki in person?
Editor Rob
I listed him as a strong 6ft 4 for years as generally that's what he would look...in person he didn't look under 6ft 4, then jared doesn't look under that either, as much as your eye can tell.
Alex 6'0 said on 8/Nov/14
This guy's eye level looks a good 5 inches from top of his head. I really don't see more than 7 inches tops between Rob and him. I can see 6'3-6'3.25 but no more.
Connor183 said on 8/Nov/14
Rob Colin looks just under 6ft 4 with you in the pic.
the shredder said on 8/Nov/14
I am with The Danimal Digest and Big Alex here , the more I look the more I see about upper 6'2.5
Editor Rob said on 8/Nov/14
We had nearly identical footwear, him around 1 inch shoe, me 1.1 inch sneaker.

I thought he stood ok, but I think an inch has gone missing somehow because I really thought he looked 6ft 4 up close...
kreyzig 6ft 3 said on 8/Nov/14
Definitely about my height.Not 6ft 4 though.
Danimal said on 8/Nov/14
WOW, not sure what people are seeing, but I see a man who is a strong 6'2"/weak 6'3" next to you Rob.
Phantom said on 8/Nov/14
Definitely doesn't look 194cm in this pic, looks more like 189.

His posture looks good as well, weird.
Billy dw said on 7/Nov/14
Rob, in all honesty he doesn't seem to be anymore than 6'3.25" in the above photo. Footwear??? What do you think?
Alex 6'0 said on 7/Nov/14
I see 6'3 range here
Fern194cm-192cm said on 7/Nov/14
Doesn't look anywhere near 6,4.5 in this picture Rob. Maybe 6,2.75-6,3?
Tommo said on 7/Nov/14
What would you think if you just saw this photo Rob? Doesn't look much over 6'3 to me.
the shredder said on 7/Nov/14
I honestly see 6 '4 max here
miko said on 7/Nov/14
He's a 6'4 range guy without doubt.

With the right footwear and posture, he can pull off a 6'5 look due to his frame.
josh b said on 7/Nov/14
Surprised he looks quite a bit shorter than I imagined beside rob
1.89m said on 7/Nov/14
Good to see an actor telling the truth. Take note Arnie.
Hypado said on 7/Nov/14
In this photo, he looks 190cm
Andrea said on 7/Nov/14
Hell Rob, what's going on in this picture? He looks nowhere near 6'4 but he generally looks a solid 6'4 guy... Is he losing height?
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 3/Oct/14
The full 6ft4½ is possible. He can pass for 6ft5
Saffire amethyst said on 10/Sep/14
Very tall, at least 6' 4" but seems closer to 6' 5"-6' 6". Absolutely towered over (Dame) Helen Mirren in 'Prime Suspect 2, but she's a real shorty! He's soooo handsome & has a superbly smooth, velvety speaking voice. No wonder he does so many documentary voice overs! Could listen to actors' & actresses' who have excellent speaking voices all day! Some are just foul; how they get acting jobs is beyond me!
Balrog said on 16/Jul/14
I think 6'4.5''. To me he looks solid 194cm.
Arch Stanton said on 9/May/14
Ah I was looking forward to seeing a photo with him. Fairbrass always looked a solid 6'3 to me too, he looked similar to Lithgow in Cliffhanger.
SaveUsY2J said on 16/Apr/14
Well snap. He's cancelled. That turned out to be ominous.
Editor Rob
it happens a lot
S said on 7/Apr/14
In Prime Suspect 2, he looked a lot taller than Fairbrass, more than 2 inches
S said on 7/Apr/14
If Salmon is around 6'4 how tall is Craig Fairbrass?
Editor Rob
he claims 6ft 3
Josh B said on 4/Apr/14
Rob, hoping for a photo from the milton keynes event :)
Editor Rob
don't tempt fate it's never the stormtroopers who cancel events :)
Arch Stanton said on 22/Mar/14
He looked huge in Match Point. Still taller than a heeled Scarlet Johannson stood on two steps! He could pass for 6'5" range at times.
Alex said on 27/Feb/14
If Pierce Brosnan is 187 cm he should be about 195
carl199cm said on 6/Feb/14
a strong 6"4 nothing less nothing more.
tashbeast said on 14/Apr/13
He looks 6'6" in punisher warzone but Hollywood can do that! I'd say a definate strong 6'4"
Lo sgozzatore said on 12/Feb/13
He could be 6'4.5 and downgrades a bit his height to gain more work. He looks noticeably taller than Stephen Amell, he can look near 4 inches taller.
Arch Stanton said on 14/Jan/13
My dad once said "he's like 6 ft 6" when he was on some TV drama. I think he has to be a strong 6'4" because in all honesty in that TV episode he did look near 6'6", in shoes anyway. Doesn't look more than 194cm compared to most though. There is a scene in World is not Enough at Elektra King's funeral and him, Moneypenny and Brosnan are walking towards the camera and he looks 2.5-3 inches taller than Brosnan.
Balrog said on 5/Jan/13
Closer to 6'5'' if Amell is really 6'1''.
ray said on 23/Nov/12
he's HUGE! if most people on this site agree with Stephen Amell being 6"1 then this guy is at least 6"4, maybe 6"5 :|
Candyman said on 1/Nov/12
Shaun says on 21/Aug/12
Yeah a strong 6'4" is about right barefoot, he does look near 6'6" in shoes. Handsome guy with a superb speaking voice. Although he doesn't look above a flat 6'4" here next to weak 6'2" Michael Madsen Click Here

Accounting for the "spiky" hairdo "lift" on Michael Madsen he seems at least 2.25 inches taller than Madsen.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 14/Sep/12
Looks between 6ft4-6ft5
little sue said on 13/Sep/12
He is one of the celeb's on the new series of Strictly Come Dancing, they have give him one of the shorter dancers who is about 5ft 2.5. Should be interesting to watch

no. colin is all 6'4.25
Tman said on 4/Oct/11
Cranberries there is clearly an inch between the Phelp twin who is on the nearest to his Right even though salmon has poor posture,look at 1,92m flex too,he is also easily an inch shorter than Colin this guy is all of 1,94m
Cranberries (18m, 193cm) said on 29/Sep/11
Actually, forget the Phelps twins. What's up with this picture with Dennis Haysbert?
Click Here

Salmon looks taller... And Haysbert is a man who compares in size and build to Julius Erving!
Cranberries (18m, 193cm) said on 29/Sep/11
Click Here
In that picture, no clear height difference between Colin Salmon and the Phelps (Weasley) twins.
LAN Jiao said on 16/Sep/11
i think colin salmon not over 6ft4, also he maybe 192cm. because he look a big 3inch taller than samuel l jackson who was no joke as a 9inch shorter than 6ft9 nba legend bill russell. samuel l jackson could be 6ft0.5 a stretch today and colin salmon 6ft3.5,6ft4
Shaun said on 26/Aug/11
Bond should be played by a white male with dark hair, palish skin and blue eyes and between 6'1" and 6'3" and a slender 180 pounds. Colin is way too big and muscular for Bond. I still think Timothy Dalton is the most like Fleming's Bond.
Nick B said on 14/Aug/11
Colin Salmon and I stood next to each other at Waterloo Station, London in the Summer of 2010, as I received his autograph. I was 6'3", 190 cm, 1.9 m and there was a definite 4 cm height difference between the two of us. Since this encounter, I currently stand at my final height; 6'4", 193 cm, 1.93 m. Ultimately, I'm 1 cm shorter than Colin Salmon. Anyway, I'm comfortable and it's not the end of the world!
Terryman said on 21/Jun/11
he would have made a perfect black james bond that why pierce brosnan wanted him to follow in his footsteps! 1m93.5-1,94m
Terryman said on 12/Jun/11
Rob in the punisher warzone there is a scene where he fights with Ray stevenson(listed 193cm here) after they finish they both stand side by side and Colin is about 0.75in taller,so maybe colin gets an upgrade to 194cm(6'4.5) while Stevenson gets doungraded to 192.5cm(6'3.75)

Editor Rob
yeah he could be between 6ft 3.5-4 range (ray) and colin in the 6ft 4-4.5 range
Shaun said on 25/May/11
He can look close to 6 ft 6 in shoes. To pull that off he has to be 6'4.5" range barefoot, probably 6'5.5" in normal shoes. He definitely a good example of how a solid 6'4" guy will look barefoot
Harvey says on 21/May/2011 said on 21/May/11
Salmon look a strong 6ft4,25, for me white people are like Craig Fairbrass in PRIME SUSPECT 2, they're very jealous of salmon because is a tall and a black man.
Truthman said on 9/May/11
He does look a strong 6'4.
Cranberries said on 8/May/11
6'4"+ in the evening; tall, somewhat dark (although closer to tan), and very handsome.
Harvey said on 9/Nov/10
About Colin Salmon racism must stop, what this wants to mean about ''Sometimes gets listed shorter than he really is at 6ft2 ?'' if Craig Fairbrass a white English actor is at 6ft3, face to face in Prime Suspect 2 Colin Salmon is so far taller than him, Salmon is really at 6ft4,25in.
Doug said on 22/Apr/09
Had around 3 inches on Brosnan. I'd believe as high as 6'5" for Salmon more likely is 6'4.5". Big guy. Great voice.
yoyo said on 22/Apr/09
(Sometimes gets listed shorter than he really is at 6ft 2.) any1 know whats that mean? he cant be lower 6ft3.5 at less.
Doug said on 8/Apr/09
My dad thought this guy was 6'6". Not quite but he is pushing 6'5" for sure. Again an example of a 6'4"er where they try to downgrade the height to not appear too tall. Oh the man is huge whereever he is.
Rick said on 21/Mar/09
He towered over everyone at the funeral in Punisher Warzone. He really looked huge there.
Anonymous 2 said on 13/Mar/09
Interesting-he never struck me as THAT tall in the JAmes Bond movies he's in.
-_-_-(Hugh)-_-_-/ said on 13/Mar/09
Had 3 inches on Pierce Brosnan (6ft1.5-6ft2). So yeah closer to 6ft5.
Anonymous3 said on 8/Jan/09
strong 6'4 and change...........
anonymous said on 4/Dec/08
i would definetely not question a 6`5 listing for him. He always looks a little over 6`4.
Anonymous3 said on 28/Sep/08
this man is clearly taller than 6'4 maybe closer to 6'4.5ish
anonymous said on 27/Sep/08
I was just watching prime suspect 2 last night, and multiple times in the episode the various characters alude to how tall he is, including his superior being particularly jealous of it. Plus, in the begining of the episode, he states he is "6`4" when helen miren asks him what his height is. She only came up to his shoulders (even when wearing high-heels).
Dave said on 18/May/08
i think if anything hes over 6'4!!!!!! i met him at a film fest after avp, and he towered me!!!!, hes NEVER EVER EVER 6'2, but 6'4 is a comfortable possiblility maybe even closer to 6'5

Actually, this guy, although listed on his CV as 6ft 4, he could be a little taller. A case of rounding down a little?
Anonymous said on 1/Dec/05
Only 6'4"? He looks more like 6'8" or 6'9". I saw him next to pierce brosnan and he 's 6'2 and he's more than 2 inches taller than him.
