I would have said 5'8", just shows how inflated some peoples "official" heights are. So if he looks taller in Spiderman it's probably due to lifts or whatever technique they use. I stood right next to Willem this summer and he was to my surprise very much at my level, and I'm cm.
I could compare our height in our reflection, as we stood observing a painting behind glass in a museum. I agree too with comments that he's a tiny guy I think Rob has him a full cm to high. Like Mark Wahlberg once stated: "The camera does things to all of us". He was slightly shorter than cm james franco. He has a scary face. He looked a bit taller than maguire in spiderman and harrison ford looked about 4 inches or so on him in clear and present danger.
Bean movie and I was surprised how short he was. He looked tiny next to every other cast member. He play a famed director coming to the Cannes Film Festival and had a scene on the red carpet with two model girls who towered over him. He hasn't looked anything over 5'6". At least they could've gave him a pair of decent lifts.

Even in Spider-man he was in better shape then Maguire. HE is thin, but has muscle defenition. How skinny is that guy, he looks so small, very fragile.
Just take away his brushed-up hair and he still looks 5'7". Below 5'7"? He's involved with the Mercer Street Theater here. Once, when he was wearing sandals, he seemed On all these occasions I was right next to him, and I'm I ran into him at Lucky Strike restaurant in NYC, at the bar and I was surprised at how small he was, as well as how delicate his build.
