"I have so much chaos in my life, it's become normal. You become used to it. You have to just relax, calm down, take a deep breath, and try to see how you can make things work rather than complain about how they're wrong."
~ Tom Welling
American actor, Tom Welling is perhaps best known for his role as Clark Kent in The WB/The CW superhero drama Smallville.
Superman for obvious reasons has always been played by big hefty and handsome guys like Christopher Reeve (6'4"), Brandon Routh (6'2½"), Henry Cavill (6'½") among many others. Tom Welling is no exception when it comes to the physique of Superman -- he is a big guy.
Anyway, various websites on the internet list his height as 6-feet-3 inches but Tom once mentioned his height as almost 6-feet-3 inches. After taking a careful look at him, we also think that is the best way to describe the height of someone like him.
The real height of Tom Welling is
6'2¾" or 190 cm

"You know one of the things about going from modeling to acting is it's so much more fulfilling. With modeling, you get your picture taken, which is great, good for you, you know? But in acting, you're able to reach in and show a little bit more of yourself."
