There are many good-looking stars in Hollywood, but Hugh Jackman stands heads and shoulders above most of them, not only because he is tall and has rugged good looks that make ladies go weak in the knee.
Above all he has such a wholesome personality -- he is a real gentleman. No wonder, he is Hollywood’s one of the most beloved actors, as evident by Deadpool wearing his face mask in the movie Deadpool (2016).
About Hugh Jackman's Real Height
Wikipedia lists (as of writing this) Hugh Jackman's height as 6 feet 3 inches.
Though Hugh has this to say about his height:
The problem is my height. I am 6 feet 2 inches tall and lean but in the books [Wolverine is] 5 feet 3 inches and stocky...James Marsden, who played Cyclops, who is only 10 cm shorter than me, was put on boxes and platforms in our scenes together. You'll notice that every character in X-Men looked taller than me.
We think Hugh was really 6'2" -- around 2 inches taller than someone like Christian Bale who is around 6 feet tall. But why do we say why?
Because unfortunately, Hugh seems to have lost some height with age. Tall people like Hugh seem more susceptible to losing height with age.
Height loss happens mainly due to the compression and dehydration taking place between the spinal discs. Tall people like Hugh usually have more space between their spinal discs for the compression to take place than the shorter ones.
Hugh now seems a bit shorter than 6 feet 2 inches tall Ryan Reynolds whereas in his youth he must have been just as tall.
A few more height comparisons have made us convinced that Hugh Jackman was really a full 6'2" in his youth and is just a bit shorter now.
The height of Hugh Jackman in his prime was
6 ft 2 in (188 cm)
His current height is
6 ft 1½ in (187 cm)
