About Larry's David's 'Funny' Height
It may surprise you but Larry David was just as tall as Jerry Seinfeld. Yes, generally Jerry looked an inch taller, but Jerry also had more hair and better posture -- what did Larry have to counter those two?
Larry David’s height is listed on the web as either 5’11” or 6”. From what we have seen of Larry, we think he might have been close to 6 feet tall in his prime – his lanky build certainly suggested so.
But now in his 70s, he is sure to have lost some height – there was a time when he used to be just as tall as Jerry Seinfeld but is now clearly shorter.
Larry looks close to 5'10" nowadays as when seen with people like Jimmy Kimmel (5'11") and John Oliver (6") and some others.
The height of Larry David in his prime was
5 ft 11 in (181 cm)
His present height is
5 ft 10 (178 cm)

Lest somebody think I was out of my mind.
