He looks so average (height) to me on GoT...

I see him on screen and he looks a good solid, honest 5'10 to me. But then I see him in candids or award shows and it's obvious he's part of that cadre of actors who inflate their height. He's 5'8 at most, and a stocky 5'8 at that. It must be either heels on the boots or he wears lifts on the show to make him taller. (All those layers make him look bigger, too.)

Still a good-looking kid, but he's wee. In the new Men's Journal fashion set, you can see he's built pretty broadly at the top, but is a short guy overall.

True. I wonder who entered into his bio that he is 5'10. He doesn't look anywhere near that tall. I would say he is more like 5'6.

Agreed, he looks no where near 5'10. I agree with the 5'8 comment.

Maybe everyone else he stands near is abnormally tall?

Um, yeah, and who cares? You are talking about a matter of inches. Whatever.

Being shorter might make him less attractive to those who like their men tall as well as dark and handsome. It might be old fashioned but a lot of women prefer taller men.

Thing is though most actors are kind of small, weird really but there you are. Personally I don't find him that hot anyway but I do think he's great in GOT's.

A lot of male actors lie about their height. I met Tom Hardy and he's waaay shorter than I expected. My friend is 5'6" and she was in heels and taller than him.
