Apart from his ground-breaking portrayals, one aspect that sets Affleck apart from other A-list actors is his majestic height. Ben Affleck's height is 6 ft 3 in (190 cm) approximately.
Affleck’s height is reportedly something that has made many of his co-stars insecure, including his wife, Jennifer Lopez. However, his height also attracted some challenges during the initial days of his career.

The ‘Live By Night’ star previously revealed that he was an impressive 6 ft 3 in (190cm) tall. At that time, he also claimed that instead of compliments, his height attracted challenges in the initial days of his career.
"I was 6 feet 3 and people told me, 'You're too big to be a leading man,”’ he said in an interview in 2020. In a different interview, Affleck stated that he was initially insecure about his height as he was pretty short as a teenager.
“I was pretty small – I was only 5ft 4in as a teenager and then when I was 16 I suddenly grew about a foot. But I always thought of myself as a little guy and when I grew I was still incredibly gangly and awkward and uncoordinated,” Affleck told the Daily Mail
