Prior to his career success, Black had a troubled childhood. At the age of 10, he struggled after his parent’s divorce and his subsequent move to Culver City, California with his father. He continued visiting his mother and older half-siblings in Hermosa Beach whenever possible.

Jack Black attended special schools for struggling students and admitted to a cocaine addiction at the age of 14. Luckily for all of us, he was able to overcome his demons and lead a fulfilling life full of laughter.

How Tall Is Jack Black?

Mr. Black is 5’6? or 168 cm tall. At five-foot-six, he’s three inches shorter than the average American male.

Jack Black has made jokes about his short stature before. Back in 2015, he told the St. Louis Post

I’m 5’7, 5’7 and a half, after doing my yoga.

Like a lot of Hollywood actors, being short hasn’t prevented Black from having an amazing, extremely successful career. And like a lot of guys, he’ll inflate his true height when asked.
