Keith Allen, precisely 5ft 6 (167.6 cm) tall, is a Welsh actor whose modest stature has defined his relatable, everyman image in film and television. He once celebrated reaching near his full height during juvenile detention at age 17, marking a key moment in his growth that mirrored his gritty persona.
His compact 5ft 6 frame perfectly suited intense roles in films like Shallow Grave, Trainspotting, Captives, The Others, and A Film With Me In It, where he embodied street-smart characters. On TV, his height added authenticity to his appearance in Robin Hood (2006).
