About Jake Gyllenhaal's height
There is hardly any mystery about Jake Gyllenhaal's height -- actually, his height is one of the best-documented ones -- at least where celebrities' heights are concerned.
Jake has claimed to be 5 feet 11½ inches tall in the past, but the readers of Celebheights.com (the most reliable site for heights) were not satisfied. Some thought the source -- Jake himself was unreliable, lol.
That's why Conan O'Brien took the matter into his own competent hands and measured Jake on spot with a measuring tape.
It wasn't a very good measurement though. Putting tapes against someone's side isn't the best way to measure their height accurately -- especially when the person who is being measured is standing with his feet wide apart (some height could be lost that way).
We would have preferred a stadiometer, preferably a digital one like the ones Koreans use on their talk shows (just kidding).
Anyway, Conan announced his judgment. Jake's height came out at 5 feet 11 inches -- which actually seems more or less the case to us as well, especially when considering his wide apart feet and relaxed posture.
When do they film Conan O'Brien's show anyway? Because people keep losing height in the course of the day and measure the shortest just before going to bed. Therefore the best time to measure height would be in the afternoon.
That's why we compared Jake Gyllenhaal's height to a number of celebrities as well -- just to be on the safe side, with Ryan Gosling (6'"), Hugh Jackman (6'2" in his prime), Ryan Reynolds (6'2"), Conan O'Brien himself (6'4" in his prime) himself, and some others.
And now we think Jake might actually be slightly taller than he was measured by Conan -- who is probably inexperienced in measuring people, unlike the folks at Celebheights.com.
The real height of Jake Gyllenhaal is
5'11¼" or 181 cm
