She’s bang on 5’11, nothing under that, and maybe her max height is 5’11 ⅛ or a ¼.

@ ANDY Cash

“Easily the sexiest woman on TV”

You need to watch more TV buddy lol. She is 5’11 or close to it.

Easily the sexiest woman on TV I love her height and agree must be 5 11

180

Andrea said on 13/Mar/22
I think the photo is favoring her a bit. Not sure I would go much above 5’11, but near enough that anyway.
See her (in heeled boots) with Alistair Petrie: Click Here
On a side note, I remember I saw an interview of her sometime ago and I was amazed to see how good she is at speaking Italian!
P.S. Could you add Ted Lasso to her credits, Rob? She even won an Emmy for that!

@Rob Would 5’11.5 be the highest or 5’11.25 you would give her? She can sometimes even look 182 cm, although no more than that i would say. I think there is a good chance she is over 5’11 in my opinion. Would her and Di Caprio be around the same height you would say? I am not sure that Leo looks taller.

Editor Rob

Barefoot a decent enough chance of a bit over 5ft 11.
Nik Ashton said on 1/Oct/21
Hannah and Brad Pitt could be height twins!

Editor Rob

I’d probably give Hannah an edge on Pitt if measured.
Bert009 said on 1/Oct/21
She is very tall 5.11ft or 6ft looks believable!

Hi Rob,

In Ted Lasso, in heels she is super tall and towers over every one, looks very impressive and she has great overall personality to match her height, very statuesque.

Editor Rob

She’s certainly not inflating her height claim

Halb said on 14/Aug/21
On a youtube interview Hannah does say she is fractionally taller than her Lasso co-star.

Bbp said on 7/Mar/21
I believe she’s downgrading herself just a bit. I saw her filming in person a few weeks ago with Jason Sudeikis, both were in sneakers, and they looked to be the exactly the same height. She might even have been the tiniest bit taller, and nobody has Sudeikis down as being under 6ft.

How common is it to see at least 180cm women in the UK? Like out of 100, 1 or 2?

Editor Rob

I would think 99th percentile for that height

Mimi said on 15/Oct/20
I don’t know if it’s the camera angle orposture but she looks at least 3.5 inches taller than you Rob.

Editor Rob

She certainly won’t measure under 5ft 11.

Nik Ashton said on 20/Sep/20
Look at these:

Nik Ashton said on 20/Sep/20
I have seen her listed as 5’9” online!

Leif said on 18/Sep/20
But it’s only one inch difference and couldnt she be full six feet in morning and earlynafternoon?

Editor Rob

I’m sure a decent chance of measuring near 6ft first thing out of bed

Nik Ashton said on 17/Aug/19
@ Rob – Can you tell me the size of her head please?

Editor Rob

Could be pretty near 9.5 inches, I’d say a bit bigger than average for 5ft 11 women!
Importer said on 14/Aug/19
@Editor Rob Yes, I wouldn’t of thought below 5’11”.

Importer said on 13/Aug/19
@Beeeer’s comments a bit old but in regards to her eye-level, it’s close to 5’7”. Her head is slightly tilted, allowing her left eye to reach 5’7”. However her right eye is just over 5’6” in the height chart. So if her head weren’t (slightly) tilted it’d be a number between the two figures (between 169-170cm), which is what I expected to be

Editor Rob

Someone had just posted This Photo on Nairn’s page, but it’s interesting to see Hodor and The Mountain beside her.

And that’s a genuine 5ft 11 woman.

Pierre said on 13/Aug/19
I give her 5″11′ too
Dmeyer said on 13/May/19
Nearer 5’11,5 in that photo
Christian 6’5 3/8″ said on 6/Apr/19
5’11” at least, maybe 5’11.25″
George Kaufman said on 11/Mar/19
Chart says 6ft.
Myself said on 7/Sep/18
That’s exacly what i guessed her at, by watching GOT!
MAD SAM said on 2/Jul/18
Over 5’11” at 181 cm
Nik said on 18/Apr/18
Hannah is 5’11” or fractionally less for me!

sean89 said on 19/Feb/18
hey rob how tall in shoes would she be based on the footwear she is wearing tall woman.183 cm in footwear . 184

Editor Rob

I’d have said she’d measure 183cm in sneakers.
Junior Hernandez said on 2/Feb/18
She was listed 176cm from google.
Slim 185 said on 19/Nov/17
SHes definalty 180 Cm, maybe even 181.
bob said on 16/Jun/16
love the new height graphic Rob!

Beeeer said on 16/Jun/16
It just seems kinda odd. I’m about 5’11 and my eye level is like 5’6.25-5’6.5, From the mugshot lines her eye level seems to be right at 5’7.

Editor Rob

I think she is standing quite well, and she’s certainly not lowering her eyelevel. You can see her with a weak 5ft 6 guy josef altin when she is lowering her eyelevel, it looks longer there.

Beeeer said on 14/Jun/16
Would a girl at 5’11 have a higher eye level than a guy?

Editor Rob

not necessarily, although the average eyelevel for ladies is slightly less than men, but the taller the lady the greater chance eyelevel is above average. I’d say Hannah’s head length was long for a women.

the Slav said on 8/Jun/16
she’s standing at her tallest while Rob is slouching. Come on, Big R, straighten up 😉

Miguel said on 8/Jun/16
looks a bit like cersei isn’t she?!

Arch Stanton said on 1/Jun/16
With the chart up you’re right, the hair does add a bit, but oddly she can look near 6 ft here, might be because she’s slightly to the side and creates the illusion of taller. She looks a very nice woman BTW.

Arch Stanton said on 1/Jun/16
Can look 182 in this photo but will take your word for it she’s 180 😉

Allie said on 31/May/16
In this photo alone she looks almost 6 ft imo. Maybe she’s just a really strong 5’11..

Dr 188 said on 29/May/16
Hey Rob please answer this ,I am 188 cm exactly and if I wear normal Adidas sneakers and she wears 5 inch heels , Would she be taller than me?

Editor Rob

5-inch heels might not give enough ‘actual height’ to match you. If it was a true 5-inch heel of course she would look taller, but those ones would be sold and described as being 6.5 inch heels in shops.

football guy said on 29/May/16
Rob aren`t you closer to 5`8.25 cause in that case she is at least 5`11.25.

Editor Rob

I’d be 5ft 8 1/8th if standing tall, but I’m not standing that tall.
MJKoP said on 29/May/16
Pretty crazy that Google has both her and Corey Feldman listed as 5’9″.

Aza said on 25/May/16
In comparison to you Rob she actually looks taller but it might be her hair. Did you have similar footwear?

Editor Rob

it looked roughly similar, but the model of sneaker I couldn’t tell.

the time of this photo is 11.50am. She might not be her at her low, I am at my low. up at 4am to get out the door by 5am to get to the airport for a 7am flight.

small posture/position differences can always increase/reduce height differences.

Sean73 said on 21/May/16
Looks a flat 181 cm to me. That’s 5’11.25,” right?
will said on 20/May/16
maybe slightly above 5’11? she sure is one tall woman!
Johno said on 20/May/16
Correct listing, 5’11.

Aaron Zamora said on 19/May/16
She looks 6′ foot I don’t know how you see 5’11 if the shoes were around the same.

slothee said on 18/May/16
Did you two have similar footwear? If you’re 173 cm she looks at least 181 cm to me. Maybe even close to 182 cm.

Editor Rob

she looked 5ft 11 as she claims.

Andrea said on 18/May/16
I had to type her name on Google to see which was her role in GOT xD
She has a small role and i actually never paid attention to her height but, if she has similar footwear, she looks at least 5’11 here (maybe she’s got some camera advantage?)

Editor Rob

she looks different than the character she played on GOT.
Her sneaker type I wasn’t as certain on, but it looked roughly similar inch range.

TJE said on 18/May/16
Wasn’t expecting her to be this tall, but then again I didn’t pay much attention to her height last season.
