"Reaching the height of 6 feet 5 inches -- I never expected to be that tall. I just shot up."
~ Calvin Harris
Scottish DJ, singer, and songwriter, Calvin Harris is known as one of the most popular and richest DJs in the world, and for his songs such as I'm Not Alone, Summer, I Need Your Love, etc.
People are curious about Calvin Harris' height as well. He is certainly one of the tallest DJs in the world (if only Afrojack had chosen some other profession). Anyway, Calvin once mentioned his height on Twitter as 6-feet-6 inches but he has also claimed to be 6-feet-5 inches tall in the past.
Perhaps Calvin's afternoon height (the best time to measure height) is somewhere between those two numbers. Though he sometimes looks closer to his latter claim -- especially if he is looked on very carefully, like standing next to Taylor Swift (5-feet-9½ inches) or Afrojack (close to 6-feet-8 inches).
Calvin Harris' famous height twins would be comedians Bo Burnham and Howard Stern.
The real height of Calvin Harris is

"Sometimes, it's better to stop thinking and trust your instincts. That's what I used to do when I first started making music, but as time goes on, you can sometimes over-intellectualize things."
