You can find Sean Astin's height listed on the internet anywhere from 5'6" to 5'8" but Sean himself has claimed to be 5 feet 7 inches tall.
From what we have seen of Sean, we think he isn’t that much taller than Elijah Wood, who is around 5'5". A few more such height comparisons have made us sure that Sean is sub 5'7" -- still far bigger than a hobbit.
