#anyway this is revealing in the sense that i went through a celebheights.com phase lmao

How tall *is* Sam? 5'9", 5'10"? By all accounts he's taller than Jacob or at least seems taller -- though that could be posture. I know a couple people who were at the premier said that he carries himself in a way that makes him seem genuinely tall even if he's not particularly tall. The broad shoulders and large head may contribute lol

I think the broad shoulders, big head and posture probably go a long way, haha.

He's listed on most sites as being 5'10, which makes me inclined to think he's probably a bit under that, given male actors tend to round up, but I don't think by much? I think he's probably 5'9 / 5'9 1/2? He's a lot shorter than William McInnes on The Newsreader, who's kind of a good gauge for me personally as I've actually met William a few times through work (Very lovely man! Very tall man! I've worked various literary festivals / events over the years where he was promoting his memoirs, and he was consistently just a gem to all the staff and especially lovely to my grandma who had been very excited to meet him and left their exchange only more in love with him, not less, so I have a big soft spot for him) William was 6'4 when he was younger and I'd say probably 6'3 now as he's gotten older?

That difference feels pretty accurate to me given Josh O'Connor is apparently 6'2, and Max Irons 6'2 1/2.

Jacob is listed as 5'9, and while I do think Sam is slightly taller - probably about a half inch, maybe a little more, I do think they're very much of a height with one another, and any barefoot difference would be fairly negligible.

After all, shoes go a long way, and both Lestat and Sam love their cuban heel boots, haha. I thought it was p interesting in the finale though where they gave Jacob a slightly platformed boot, and he instantly had height over Sam, despite the latter still wearing a heeled boot too.

But yes! Definitely think Sam's a little taller, but I think it's an inch at most and that they're both within the 5'9 range, give or take with shoes. A few more pics below the cut (I tried to keep it to full body shots where you can see their footwear).
