How tall is Ryan Reynolds? Rob McElhenney once called ‘Deadpool’ star ‘very, very tall’

Ryan Reynolds once remarked his tall stature would make the prospect of a bodyguard constantly following him look absurd

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Hollywood heartthrob Ryan Reynolds, who never fails to amaze fans with his acting chops and dashing looks, is reportedly 6ft 3in (1.90 m/190 cm) tall.

The 46-year-old actor has made a name for himself by working in movies like ‘Deadpool’, ‘The Proposal’, and ‘Bullet Train’.

Over the years, Reynolds has won several laurels, including a Critics’ Choice Movie Award. He has also earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame besides three People’s Choice Awards.

In 2017, when asked about keeping a bodyguard, the ‘Red Notice’ actor told The Irish Sun, “I’m 6ft 3in, it’s going to look a little strange if I’m­ constantly being shadowed by some guy, getting bundled away. That would look a little absurd.”

However, there is some confusion about Ryan Reynolds’ height as he once reportedly shared, “I’m 6'2" in height with a 5′10” face and “6ft 1-2.”

Whatever Ryan Reynolds’ height is, it’s clear he is way taller than the average for American men, which is apparently 5ft 9 in (1.75 m/ 175 cm).

Ryan Reynolds once appeared on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ and was interviewed by Rob McElhenney. At the time, McElhenney reportedly told Reynolds, “It would appear that I'm short. The truth is that I am not short, it's that you're a mutant ... You are very, very tall.”

The comedian also asserted, “You know, so I'm a tall guy. I'm just not a mutant.” Reynolds added, “I was completely, you know, taken aback when we first met.”

What is Rob McElhenney’s height?

According to Men’s Health, Rob McElhenney’s height is 5 ft 9 in but Reynolds reportedly told him, “I always imagine you have a 6’ 4” face, Rob.”

McElhenney also spoke about his height and revealed, “I joke about it a lot, but am I actually insecure about being 5'9"? No.”

“And the reason I’m not is that I hit a certain point in my life when I realized I wasn’t going to grow anymore. That’s it. So what the f**k am I going to do? Am I going to spend the rest of my life lamenting that?” he added.

How tall is Ryan Reynolds’ wife?

Reynolds has been married to Blake Lively since 2012. The 35-year-old actress is also tall like her husband.
