I don't see him as low as 5ft9, but I do think that he isn't a legit 5ft10 either, 5ft9.5 would suite him best.

Jay says on 16/Jun/09
I still can't see him above 5ft 9 without assistance. I love him as Bond though. He has weak moments but fell into the role much better in Quantum of Solace. He was so good in the Tosca sequence. Perfect perfect perfect and incredible direction and music there. It is just a shame the movie was a bit of a retread of Tomorrow Never Dies.

lili says on 15/Jun/09
I saw Daniel Craig promoting th efirst Bond movie he made and he is surprisingly short and very thin, not built like in the movie. I would say 5'8

Flyboy says on 11/Jun/09
Craig is a strong 5'10". The Zwick photos aren't particularly interesting, principally because we don't know much about Zwick. Craig, on the other hand, has a substantial catalogue of movies behind him, which we can (and have) used to analyse his height. He's been up against the likes of Rhys Ifans, Gwyneth Paltrow, Colm Meaney, Jamie Bell, Nicole Kidman, Tom Hanks, Paul Newman, Mads Mikkelsen and so on. 5'8" is a bad underestimate. I think, at the simplest level, if he was a 5'8" guy then we'd all see it. 5'10" is a pretty average height, unimposing, beats most females, hit and miss with most guys...which is very much where Craig is.

For me, the ultimate litmus test is a man being able to stand tall alongside Nicole Kidman. Craig didn't convincingly beat her (if at all), but he certainly wasn't dominated by her, which I'm certain a 5'8" man would be (she was wearing heels in many of the published photos of the two). I think Craig is going to be a target, because 1) he's Bond and 2) not everybody wants him as Bond. I do wish people would stop saying that 5'10" is too short, though. It's perfectly adequate for Bond.

HA! @ Scottjames

Jay says on 8/Jun/09
God I can't believe it when someone comes along and says Daniel Craig is tall and another nut says Arnold Schwarzenegger was 5ft 10 at his peak. These people have Glenn-o-vision glasses on.

Scottjames says on 7/Jun/09
I saw Daniel Craig up very close at a promotional pre-release screening tour of Layer Cake around 5 years ago in Glasgow.He is an physically impressive guy I would say at least 6 foot tall,probably more. In the film he is alongside some very tall actors in his "gang" of drug dealers so he looks quite small by comparison.It is very hard to tell on screen how tall actors are.I met Clive Owen once and he is a giant.

Roger says on 7/Jun/09
The photos with Ed Zwick are stunning, and disappointing. 5'11'', our new Bond without is not. 5'10'' max. sounds about right.

Jay says on 30/May/09
Rob has to list official heights before he can find out real heights. It's up to us to debate and show evidence. We have photos of Craig at 5'8 (and a bit) and Arterton at 5ft 8 in high stiletto heels. Winslet is 5ft 8 in heels at her best making her shorter than her claimed height. Sing lalala to the moon and dream they are taller like Glenn dreams himself taller.

andrew says on 30/May/09
He cannot be like 5'9" or 5'8". For example, that photo with Kate Winslet doesn't show anything of her footwear, and other photos are not the best evidences either.

His body proportions are simply so confusing (I mean head size and full height, width of shoulders) that he could be anything from 5'7" to 6' if only judging by a glance.

RisingForce says on 29/May/09
Yeah, Craig is 5'8"....if you downgrade Arterton's actual height of 5'7" to 5'4". This is absurd, Craig is between 5'10" and 5'11". By the way I have Craig, Cruise and Pitt at the same height Rob does and I have Depp just a half inch higher. So I guess he makes everyone taller too?

Daniel says on 29/May/09
You could be right about Rising's tendency to upgrade celebs, Anonymous. But I agree Craig is easily 1.80m to 1.82m

Anonymous says on 29/May/09
nice pic and great comment jay, rising makes everybody taller, not only stallone, craig, depp, pitt, cruise.........so thats it.

Jay says on 28/May/09
RisingForce man you just make everyone taller and taller! :D

Craig is wearing height boosters in the photo. Previously he was shorter than Sam Mendes' 5ft 10 and closer to Winslet

Click Here

You just can't pretend to ignore his height next to Zwick's confirmed 5ft 7 and Arterton's proven 5ft 4.

RisingForce says on 28/May/09
Great pic, Parker. It backs up Craig being in the 5'10", 5'11" range.

Parker says on 28/May/09
5'6 Kate Winslet with Craig
Click Here
If Kate is wearing flats (which I doubt) Craig is 5'9.

Jay says on 28/May/09
Not ridiculous at all. It is easy to see that compared to Arterton that Craig is the same height in dress shoes as Mackenzie Crook is in Converse. It's impossible to ignore this or that he is not much taller than Tom Cruise and Edward Zwick when footwear and time of day isthe same. 5ft 10 is impossible. 5ft 9 as a barefoot morning height is possible.

RisingForce says on 28/May/09
When will the ridiculous downgrading end. Craig is NOT 5'8". I'd bet money that he's atleast 5'10".

Jay says on 27/May/09
@Clay
You are saying Gemma Arterton is in the same height range as Zwick and Tom Cruise which is not possible because we can see Daniel Craig is a inch taller than Zwick.

See for yourself. Gemma Arterton is 5ft 7-8 in heels with MacKenzie Crook (in Converse) who is listed between 5ft 8-9 and the same again compared to Colin Firth and Rupert Everett. She is never taller than 5ft 8 in tall heels.

Conclusion is Gemma Arterton is between 5ft 4 to 5ft 5.

Clay says on 26/May/09
Gemma Arterton is 5'7 not 5'4. Just look at her arms and legs, she's obviously over 5'4.

Jay says on 26/May/09
Sorry didn't read the question you posed Anonymous number 1. Edward Zwick's official height is 5ft 7 and that is how he looks compared to 6 footer Ken Watanabe. Then I compared Watanabe's height to others to confirm that height too. Watanabe is 1 inch shorter than Clint Eastwood's current height 6ft 1 in latest photos. It's safe to say Zwick is 5ft 7.

Jay says on 26/May/09
I can only go by what those photos with Zwick say. Those are much newer than the Jacobi movie.

JD says on 26/May/09
looks 5'11 in casino royale, 5'9 in quantum of solace, 6'2 with jude law and 5'8 with edward zwick. has he got hydrolic legs or something?

Anonymous says on 25/May/09
Daniel Craig under 5ft 9, you must be joking!! I'm watching a film he made with Derek Jocobi and they are both standing together undressed with no shoes and Craig is about 3/4 inch taller at least. Derek Jacobi is listed ast 5ft 10 on this site

Anonymous says on 25/May/09
great pics jay, but are you sure ed zwick is 170/5´7?? i could not find him on this page...

Jay says on 25/May/09
I can't see 5'10 as his current height at any time of the day for the life of me now I saw Tom Cruise with Edward Zwick too.

Zwick and Craig with better view of Craig's shoes....very natural nothing like Brad Pitt shoe lifts.

Click Here

Click Here

Tom Cruise with Zwick. They are both 5ft 7, Cruise not wearing any lifts.

Click Here

Cruise and Zwick with Ken Watanabe.

Click Here
Click Here

Watanabe is 6ft and very much 5 inches taller than Zwick and Cruise.

These photos prove Daniel Craig's night time height when most red carpet events take place is under 5ft 9 without shoe lifts. He is an inch or little more than an inch taller than Tom Cruise in equal circumstances.

Tom Cruise evening height 5ft 7
Daniel Craig evening height 5ft 8 1/4

Add 3/4 of an inch for their morning height.

andrew says on 24/May/09
A little more than 5'10". Maybe 179 cm is right, but his posture varies a lot. Hard to estimate.

Jay says on 23/May/09
Yeah could be. I think 5ft 10 morning height when he was young. 5ft 9.5 current morning height. In Quantum Of Solace he was the same height as Felix Lighter in the bar before the Shoot out.

greg says on 22/May/09
very nice pics jay, you are right, something between 5´8 and 5´10 ( thats my opinion, you said 5´9,5)...well i think 5´9,5 is right for craig

Jay says on 21/May/09
That photo of him with Law and Miller is so weird as Jude Law has owned Craig by an inch or more in every other photo of them together.

Click Here
Click Here

Here is some more confusion to get your mind buzzing. Daniel Craig looking 5ft 8 with Edward Zwick who is 5ft 7!!

Click Here
Click Here

Craig an inch shorter than Sam Mendes' 5ft 10 and a lot shorter than Tom Hanks. Rita Wilson in heels is taller than Craig.

Click Here

Craig as short as very old Paul Newman. Also how can Jude Law be 5ft 11 when he is barely taller than the shrunken old Newman?

Click Here

So judging by these photos Craig is anywhere between 5ft 8 (with Zwick) to 5ft 9.5 with Law/Winslet/Mendes/Wilson/Newman

Roger: Thank you for revealing a good opinion and agreement about my post.
Beyond agreements or disagreements, I do think the most valuable stuff about this web purpose, is "being well educated and respectful" about others´opinions, as you are (not everyone´s like you; that´s why, at times, I become somewhat "ironic" about some insolent people´s comments).
Good for you, Roger !!!!

Roger says on 15/May/09
Good post, Marcelo. Craig barefoot cannot be more than a weak 5'10''. And being described by Fleming as possesing a certain cruelty, I think DC brings this across quite well. I have to admit though, a little disappointed I was when it was reveald that an unlifted DC was slightly shorter than a 5'7'' woman wearing heels.

The Duck says on 14/May/09
I think the .25 is very important.

Marcelo C. says on 14/May/09
Dear Friends: Let´s not quarrell any more about 007 bieng correct or incorrect depending if he´s 5"9.5´ or 6"2´. The most important stuff about a physical look for 007 being that his body is well proportionated, elegant (to be elegant you don´t necessarily have to be "a giraffe") and, most of all, being "a person with virile style, having class with women and self confident. After all, preventing the selected actor ísn´t a "midget", the rest will be made by cameras, privileged angles, other surrounding actors´ heights, etc.. Oh, I was forgetting,......for me Craig is about 5"9´/5"9.25" in his barefoot.

anonymous says on 14/May/09
i always knew he was tall. 5 foot 10 to 5 foot 11 is reasonable for someone of his build. Gemma arterton is the tallest 5 foot 4 ever. She had long legs and long upper body but she is only 5 foot 4. That's really surprising.

Greg says on 10/May/09
Ian: First...I do not care what´s written in the book. Second...if he´s described as 183cm/6 feet, well...neither sean connery nor george lazenby nor roger moore nor timothy dalton nor pierce brosnan could play james bond, because all of them are or were taller than 183/6 feet...what do you say now??

RisingForce says on 10/May/09
craig looks taller than jude law because it's a mid-stride picture and law's posture is poor. that's not accurate. craig may very well be 5-11 or close to it, but not because of that picture.

Ian says on 10/May/09
Greg says on 5/May/09
first of all, i like to say that these people who say james bond must be a tall and dark guy who stands 6´1 to 6´3....thats bullsh...why james bond could not be under 6´ oder even under 5´11?????????
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Bond is described as 6ft in the books.

In From Russia with Love novel he is described as 183 centimeters (6 feet) in height and 76 kilograms (167 lb) in weight.

GUK says on 6/May/09
I think Craig needs a slight upgrade to 179, possibly 180, look at the pic with Jude law, he's at least 179 there in very flat shoes
---------------------------------------------------------------
Pavement is sloped. He is on the higher part and is nearer the camera. Plus the angle of the shot take the pavement line and raise it up to head means jude law is taller.

Mr Me says on 9/May/09
Isn't 5'10.25 pretty much 5'10. I mean I am 5'9.86" taken from an average of 3 measurements very accurately (10.2 morning, 9.8 afternoon and 9.6 at night), and I guess you could place me at 5'9.75" but it may as well read 5'10". Maybe same for Daniel Craig?

Daniel says on 7/May/09
If the guy in the left is Jude Law, then Craig should be upgraded to 1.82m

glenn says on 6/May/09
ive been telling you guys for years he was 5-11 when i met him.i agree,or at least i see 5-9.5 in the first bond film.i didnt see the second.so yeah,he can look shorter.

I would say nearer 5ft 11, look at him in the Bond films, he towers over Judy Dench who is supposedly 5ft 1 plus 3 inch heels, unless she has shrunk a few inches which could be possible if she is in her 70's

and now my opinion about daniel´s hight...i think he is something between 175 and 180, maybe 176, maybe 178...who knows????? i think his morning hight could be 179-180 and his night hight 177-178...that would be right i think

Greg says on 5/May/09
craig is a height cameleon, it´s not easy to say how tall he is, but i would say 178-180 morning height, 176-178 day height and maybe 175-176 at night

Greg says on 5/May/09
nice photo kate, but this would mean that craig must be 6´1, if jude law is 5´11 to 6...and thats wrong. so, in this photo craig is 6´1.

Kate says on 4/May/09
More photographic evidence. This is a paparazzi shot so presumably lifts not being worn.

Click Here

If Jude is 5'11 as listed on this site then how can DC be 5'10. It doesn't add up - he's in converse and they can't conceal lifts. Sienna is supposedly 5'5.

Daniel says on 4/May/09
People don't seem to understand the fact that the producers wanted to change the Bond stereotype by casting Daniel Craig. It's just his lack of humor and cold appearance, among other virtues, that bring a new profile to the character, more brutal, crude, tough, just a hardened soldier as needed by the role, and he doesn`t need to be tall (though I think he's not less than 1.80m either). Just accept this, Craig is the early 21st century James Bond, and a model for those new Bonds to come in the future.

Doug says on 3/May/09
I agree with Hugh. I'd favour Clive Owen as first choice for Bond, he fits the steroetype and looks like he could be pretty brutal. Eric Bana or Hugh Jackman would also be excellent candidates. All are 6'2" and dark as Bond should be. Jackman looks as if he would add much neded humor to the role which Craig lacks.

Doug says on 3/May/09
what i like about Craig is that he is comfortable in himself at 5'10" and unlike other action stars doesn't feel compelled to wear lifts to look 6'. he always wear flat dress shoes.

Daniel says on 1/May/09
Schreiber is listed 6'3'' on celebheights

Zac says on 30/Apr/09
Watch him in Defiance, Liev Schreiber is easily 2-3 inches taller, and hes approx 6'2"

so my bet, is Craig is about 5'10"-5'11"

Thomas says on 28/Apr/09
She is 5'4. She looks tall but so do Girls Aloud on the screen. They are all tiny except Sarah Harding.

Daniel says on 25/Apr/09
I still believe he reaches 5'11''

anonymous says on 22/Apr/09
No way arterton is 5 foot 4, she looked at least 5 foot 6 in quantom of solace. She looked tall. 5 foot 4 is just too short for someone of her physique. He is definately 5 foot 10. Any shorter is unrealistic.

Thomas says on 20/Apr/09
lol

Arterton is 5'4. My work mate went to school with her and is still buddies with her on Facebook

Kate says on 19/Apr/09
I think that thing about Gemma Arterton supposedly saying he wore lifts in Quantum because she was taller in heels is made up.

Click Here


There is no way he's wearing lifts in this photo, the shoes are too flat on top. And she's in huge heels yet at 5'7 she's still a fair bit shorter than him. I think 6 foot might be about right, he just seems to work with tall women (Cate Blanchett, Nicole Kidman) who wear heels.

tim says on 18/Apr/09
i dont think hes quite 5'11, but he really isnt that short. there are actors that are listed as 5'10 and appear a bit lower, wesley snipes, owen wilson, ewan mc gregor, jason statham, sly stallone etc. but with craig he really does seem average, he doesnt seem sort at all. so anywhere from 5'9.75-5'11.5 is beleivable. i reckon 5'10-5'10.5 most likely.

Mickey Rourke stands in the background looks 3 inches taller but is dressed as a cowboy so like could be wearing cowboy boots. Craig is about 2-3 inches taller than Ben Stiller

Roger says on 11/Apr/09
He looks equal in height to Mickey Rourke, maybe a quarter of an inch shorter.
(The photo Thomas has linked has him bending slightly)

frosty says on 11/Apr/09
i think 5,10 suits daniel you can just tell he is around that height by looking at him

linebacker40 says on 10/Apr/09
I'd still say Daniel is a solid 5'10" who gives off a 5'11" look, and when the time comes for a new actor to play Bond, Hugh Jackman or Gerard Butler would be the top candidates I'd say.

Hugh 190cm says on 6/Apr/09
A good guy to play bond would be either Clive Owen, Mark Strong (with hair!), Eric Bana or Hugh Jackman. All possess the tall dark and handsome look. I'm not gay when I say that.

mamonazo says on 6/Apr/09
Ace, its a MOVIE. Its about how u look. Obviously real "bonds" have nothing to do with looks or muscles. So Roger Moore kicks ass with just one ironic smile while daniel has to do lots of stupid unreal action. Bond HAS to be tall. Same as Bond cannot be gay.

Daniel says on 4/Apr/09
He is really the shortest Bond ever, but never looks less than 1.80m (5'11'') to me.

Ace says on 3/Apr/09
Mamonazo, i would say that daniel craig is certainly not unqualified to play Bond. In fact, he is probably the best actor to play Bond ever.

Josh says on 2/Apr/09
I heard that craig did were lifts in some scenes in the two bond films to look taller beside the tall actors on one site.

mamonazo says on 2/Apr/09
craig is too short to be james bond at his 5-10. At least he has the muscles...All Bond represent the real masculine tall man. They should hire some other bigger actor. mel Gibson was too short for the role.

Thomas says on 1/Apr/09
Hey Ben stiller has to be taller or Daniel Craig shorter??

Bond needs to be at least 6'1" or tall. Height is a must for a real man.

I've read Amalric is 5'6'', and Craig seems 5 inches taller in "Quantum of Solace".

Doug says on 23/Mar/09
Any estimates about Mathieu Amalric's height? He looked noticeably short I thought, 5-6 likely.

sodapop says on 19/Mar/09
I agree Daniel Craig is the best Bond period!! He also has the best body. 5'10" is a great height for a man, He looks pretty tall on screen. Who the hell says you have to be 6'1" to be James Bond, gimme a freakin break!! I wouln'dnt want to be that tall anyway, its abnormal

italian boy says on 18/Mar/09
he is a solid 5.10 ft guy maybe something more

Lara says on 15/Mar/09
He does look tall, but isn't he the shortest James Bond ever? 5"10 seems right for him.

At the oscars, next to 5 foot 2 sarah jessica parker with super heels. He is still 15cm taller. 5 foot 10. He looks tall.

MD says on 4/Mar/09
Will, it's not really that he can't be taken seriously as a lead in an action movie, it's that he is noticeably shorter than all of the other actors who played James Bond. But, I think he's long sinced convinced most everyone that he's one of the best Bonds, if not the best, so it shouldn't anger you, at least not anymore.

Will says on 3/Mar/09
It makes me angry that a guy who is of average height cant be portrayed as manly or play a leading role in a action film without wearing lifts, this guy is 5'10 at least, and I think he is one of the best Bonds yet.

andrew says on 2/Mar/09
I believe 5'11" may have easily been before starting heavy body training for the Bond movies. In Munich definately looks that tall. As far as I know heavy weights may cause shrinkage, but even as far as only the overall frame considered a more muscular body looks stockier and thus shorter.

Taylor says on 23/Feb/09
I think he's 5'9.5" to 5'10"... no taller. In that barefoot picture with Paltrow she has horrible posture and is leaning back. Straightened up she'd be very close to his height. That pic is the best evidence of Daniel Craig's height.

RisingForce says on 22/Feb/09
I'd say that he's probably 5'10" like his co-star said. He sure isn't 6'0" like he gets listed sometimes, otherwise his height wouldn't have been a big deal. 5'11" is possible, but then why would he need lifts to be taller than his 5'7" co-star in heels?

Dimitri says on 21/Feb/09
In casino royal he looked kinda 1,80 I think..but in Quantum of solace he looked like 1,75...I think he is 1,77 :)

glenn says on 21/Feb/09
sorry i missed your post mr-r.whenever daniel or anyone is in new york city i find them.he was at a screening.he was ok i heard.not receptive at the bond premier last year was another report.usually not nice.he lives here.which makes it near impossible to get him actually.

kevy says on 20/Feb/09
i think he is defently 6'0 he just looks smaller cause of his wider chest n short legs

jim says on 18/Feb/09
he's not short but he appears so moslty because of his constitution and because the other bonds we're tall athletic types with long legs, short torso with large chests and long necks

OliTheMan says on 13/Feb/09
Anonymous, a lot of people can be sensitive about their height (even if it's 5"10) because, while that may be a decent height, will still make many men feel insecure when next to 6"2" guys or whatnot. Actors would definitely feel that way.

Zach #2 says on 9/Feb/09
i saw him at the BAFTAS, dude is a solid 5 10"

Anonymous says on 9/Feb/09
His topcoat in the Bafta photos makes him look short. It is said he is sensitive about his height. Why would he be sensitive if he was 5'10"?

Daniel says on 6/Feb/09
To me, the guy didn't look less than 1.80m in Quantum of Solace. Didn't look tall either.

RisingForce says on 4/Feb/09
That's true about his co-star, they probably played back the footage of her in heels next to Daniel and she looked a little taller. She also said Daniel is 5-10, but if he was 5-10 then she couldn't have been taller than him in heels and be 5-7. Something odd is going on there.

I remember him being clearly shorter than Jay Leno and Leno is certainly no more than 5-11. I think Craig is around 5-10 like his co-star says or a bit under. He looks too tall to be a flat 5-9 to me though.

Mr. R. says on 2/Feb/09
Glen, how did u know where to find Daniel Craig? What is your secret in finding celebs? Since I live in LA, I run into people all the time, but you seem to know where to go to find them.

Mr. R. says on 2/Feb/09
Risingforce, I like you! I think that Craig is about 5-9, because as I mentioned earlier, his Russian costar said she was taller than him in 3 inch heels and she was listed at 5-7. I think she might be 5-8 and is downgrading herself. That would make her 5-11 in heels, and he would be 5-10 in dress shoes.

RisingForce says on 2/Feb/09
6 foot seems too much. In reality though we know he's atleast average height. The reason he's called short is that every Bond actor prior to him was over 6 feet. Remember what a big deal it was when Mel Gibson was rumored to be the next James Bond?

glenn says on 1/Feb/09
thanks ralph.

glenn says on 1/Feb/09
i had the chance to see him again a couple weeks back,but blew it off.it was my only day off and he is a notorious no signer/no photo with.figures only 5 people showed up to meet him instead of usual 20 or more.signed for everyone and nobody asked for the photo with.i probably couldve talked him into it.damn.my luck always.as great as my photos look,i lose out on tons more due to being busy.

Ralph says on 31/Jan/09
glenn is right. the man is 5'11"-6'.
cannot understand you have him so short.

RisingForce says on 31/Jan/09
That may be true Mr. R, especially since he's playing a secret agent. Just like Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible. Atleast Cruise claimed 5-9 once though.

I think Craig wears lifts now. Remember the picture where he looked 6 foot next to Robert De Niro? Then on another ocassion he looked 5-10 at best next to Jay Leno. Of course De Niro's posture can make him seem 5-7 at times in pictures(next to Al Gore and Mike Tyson).

From movies like Layer Cake and Casino Royale I got a 5-9 impression too. I'm not sure he's that short, but maybe a weak 5-10.

glenn says on 31/Jan/09
he was 5-11 when i saw him.my friends say 6ft.i agree with lmeister.though i always said he looked 5-9ish in casino.

MD says on 30/Jan/09
Looking unusually tall with 6'3" Liev Schreiber (far left) and standing right next to Jamie Bell given 5'7", here:

Something's just not adding up in these pictures, and I'm not sure which of the actors it is that's got me skeptical. Is Jaime really 5'7"?

Lmeister says on 30/Jan/09
I think that Daniel Craig just doesn't give a flyin' f**k about his height or at least he didn't until he became 007. About Daniels weight, before Bond movies he was rather slim/skinny, but before Bonds he bulked up and became somewhat stocky. It has been said in many articles that the producers were kinda afraid of Daniel gaining too much weight while filming Casino Royale. Actually in the end casino scenes he looks heavier than in the beach scenes. For Quantum of solace he did more cardio and less weighlifting.

Mr. R. says on 30/Jan/09
Risingforce, just like Tom Cruise, Danny boy does not want us to know that there are some things about him that are like the average male. It destroys his hypermasculine mythology.

RisingForce says on 29/Jan/09
What's odd is how he won't claim a height.

Anonymous says on 28/Jan/09
DC is very lean (even though this is supposed to be about height which I believe is actually 5'9" tops and maybe even shorter). The camera makes him look bigger as it does all celebs. I live in the NY area and often see celebs and models that are extremely thin but don't appear that way in photos and on film.

Reggie339 says on 24/Jan/09
In Quantum of Solace Daniel Craig looked about two inches shorter than most of his male co-stars with the exception of Mathieu Amalric who stands at about 5 foot six...

While it is true that craig wore lifts for many of the scenes he still apeared short throughout the movie. Ill put him at about 5'9

heres gemma aterton listed at 5' 7" in about 3/4 heals.. making her about 5'10.. with pirates star machenzie cook who is openly listed at 5' 9".. there about the same.. so for DC to be shorter than her in heels...must mean is def not 5' 10

MD says on 14/Jan/09
He's not even remotely thin/skinny, either. People are so overweight these days that average people are called skinny. It's just silly.

Just watched the Jay Leno clip on youtube and as he left the stage, Jay clearly had him by 2 inches at least. If Jay is 5'11" -- that makes Dan 5'9". He is really thin so gives the impression of being taller.

mikec says on 10/Jan/09
he was on jay leno yesterday and he was definately in the 5'10-5'11 range when he first greeted jay leno.I think rob has him about right. he also had a suit that I swear could of been no less than 3500 dollars and it looked super slick.

Lenad says on 10/Jan/09
Looks 5ft10ish to me.

Daii says on 8/Jan/09
He looks a weak 5'10 to me (about 176 cms barefoot)

linebacker40 says on 6/Jan/09
He looks like a very solid 5'10", near 5'11" at times. Very well built, too, giving him that long, athletic look.

Viviana Archuleta says on 4/Jan/09
I think he's about 5 10 1/2. he's really cute tho.

annibal says on 4/Jan/09
he is 5ft 9.75(177cm)

anonymous says on 1/Jan/09
5 foot 10.

Matt says on 28/Dec/08
Just an average 5'10.

He's not like a Matt Le Blanc or a Jonathan Rhys-Meyers who both appear a shade shorter than many. Craig can look pretty tall at times; lifts or no lifts, that is difficult to do if you're any less than 5'10

Zach #2 says on 23/Dec/08
im guessing DC is 5ft 10.25 (morning height) and 5ft 9.75 (evening height)

adam says on 21/Dec/08
Possibly under 5-10 and wears lifts 24 hours a day.

anonymous says on 21/Dec/08
In munich, he looked like a strong 5 foot 11. Eric bana only had 8cm on him. Even if he was wearing lifts, bana is wearing dress shoes too. 5 foot 10.

GUK says on 20/Dec/08
I still think daniel is a strong 5ft 10, approaching 5ft 11. If you search google for pics with Mads Mikkelsen nad he's no more than 1.5 inches smaller, possibly an inch. I think he's 179

Vibram says on 15/Dec/08
Click Here Compare to rapper "P Diddy" listed 179cm / 5ft10.5. Craigs in dress shoes and P Diddy's got hiking boots on so I don't think ones got much of a footwear advantage over the other. Craig looks 0.75" / 2cm shorter, so 177cm for Craig is possible; 5ft9.75.

Neon Genesis says on 15/Dec/08
5' 9¼" (176 cm) barefoot, 5' 10" (178 cm) in normal shoes

Roger says on 14/Dec/08
Complex, this height charst is worthless. It has Timothy Dalton at 6', who actually was at least as tall as Sean Connery.

Good point you make, Mr. R.

toadyking says on 14/Dec/08
anonymouse, why are you using the bond movies to deduce his height? I already said "just a heads up to those trying to deduce his height from the bond movies, forget it, being the shortest bond actor they have to use camera angles, lifts, proportion to other objects to make him appear taller."

Mr. R says on 11/Dec/08
Actually, Anonymous, Olga Kurylenko gave an interview, where she stated that she was 5-7 and that she was three inches shorter than Craig. However, she contradicted herself when she stated that in her three inch heels she was taller than him, which led to the lifts, or built up shoes. With three inch heels she should have been looking him in the eye, or a little less because he too is wearing dress shoes, which if we believe 5-10, would make him at least 5-11. Based on his co-star's oral history, Craig has to be closer to 5-9 than 5-10.

Complex says on 11/Dec/08
Click Here
Shows the bond heights comparisons here, says 5'10 for Craig, maybe he is less if 5'10 is his max, who knows, but it also has Mel Gibson at 5'8, which is more accurate than the 5'10 ppl claim for him, but it's inaccurate tho cuz it has a picture of connery and says 6'3, which isn't true!

JJ says on 10/Dec/08
Alright PJ I understand your argument. I still disagree though.

An inch difference is not that obvious anonymous, that's like people saying 5'11 is average and 6 foot is tall. They're either both average or they're both tall.

Anonymous says on 10/Dec/08
When he is clearly cited by others in interviews (as in the one with Gemma Arterton someone linked to on hear mentioning he wears lifts) as being 5'10" and this looking a realistic height. Why is he not listed as 5'10" rather than 5'10.25" ? That fraction cannot be seen and is unlikely and you may as well demote other celebs on here from 6' to 5'11.75" or up from 5'9.75" to 5'10" it is a minimal fraction that is too small to see. Half inches is the most you can say is a celbrities height bearing in mind you havent measured ANY of the celebs on this site.

anonymous says on 10/Dec/08
He never looks 5 foot 9. A strong 5 foot 10. I just cant see him as 5 foot 9. It's just to short for someone of his size.

PJ says on 9/Dec/08
JJ, since I disagree I'll leave you with this. I am 5'9 barefoot, 5'10 in shoes. Gemma Aterton at 5'7 plus heels is approx 5'10, and in the same scenes Craig is both slightly taller then her AND wearing lifts. What does that tell you? He's under 5'10. Perhaps overly simplified, but makes the most sense to me. We could split hairs, but I'll stick with him and body proportions indicating 5'9.

JJ says on 8/Dec/08
PJ I think your basis is completely flawed. First of all the co starts commented about the fact that Craig HAD to wear lifts in order to appear taller than one of the girls. If you look for those scenes in the movie you will clearly spot the difference, his legs look longer than they usually do. Now if you watch any other scene in that movie or Casino Royale his legs look normal length and very proportional to his height. Being Bond, he wears dress shoes for the most part which puts him at around a 5'11 mark.

I think he is a legit 5'10 man. His build and physique on the other hand is much better than most men tall or short. I'd rather have his body than be 6'2 and lanky, which I am now.

Neon Genesis says on 8/Dec/08
He looks shorter than 5' 10" (1.78 m), maybe in shoes, but barefoot more likely something like 5' 9" (1.75 m)

anonymous says on 6/Dec/08
He is a definate 5 foot 10 with or without lifts. He is built and 5 foot 10 is a good height for his physique.

Roger says on 5/Dec/08
Well, De Niro at 5'9'', that a new "Glennism", lol.

RisingForce says on 4/Dec/08
Well whatever he is, he's clearly taller than Paltrow based on the barefoot scene. This proves women are bad at judging height usually(that's how multiple woman estimated Arnold from 5'4"-5'6"). Either way that's a great find Roger and it suggests that they are possibly less than an inch apart at the very least.

PJ says on 4/Dec/08
Obvious to me that Craig utilizes lifts in every day life as he does in films. Judging by all evidence I've seen and read, his body proportions, what co-stars have stated, etc, I'd wager he is 5'9 and no taller.

anonymous says on 3/Dec/08
In casino royale he towers over judi dench and has a good inch on 5 foot 9 gemma arterton and two inches on 5 foot 8 olga kurylenko. 5 foot 10 seems right.

glenn says on 3/Dec/08
especially when deniro can still look near 5-9 to me.that paltrow story is ridiculous.i appreciate the find.but i dont believe someone is telling the truth.

Leung says on 2/Dec/08
yeah glenn seeing Daniel Craig tower over DeNiro did appear dubious, I suspect that he was getting a little assistance that day.

Roger says on 2/Dec/08
Glenn and all, I found this very interesting piece: "Hollywood beauty GWYNETH PALTROW had to remove her shoes when filming scenes with her SYLVIA co-star DANIEL CRAIG - because he is much shorter than she is.

The OSCAR-winning actress admits movie bosses made her short co-star appear taller than he actually is.

Gwyneth, 31, says, "Put it this way. I'm definitely taller than he is. When we were in scenes together I'd always be taking my shoes off.

"But they did a good job of making us seem similar in height, but you can tell he's not 6 feet 4 inches. Which is strange because he has this hulking presence."

Now, to write that he is much shorter than her, is obviously total BS. But it seems DC is shorter than 5'10.25''.

Rob, I asked already and repeat - why don't you change DC to 5'10''? The evidence is really overwhelming that he is for sure not above 5'10'', and very possibly even below.

RisingForce says on 2/Dec/08
Leno did look taller than Craig
Click Here

Letterman looks like he'd have about 4 inches on Craig if he were standing straight

Craig is tricky, he can look either 5-10 or 5-11.

Roger says on 2/Dec/08
Good point, Glenn, with De Niro. It seems De Niro has shrunken considerably. Lifts for DC do the rest, I guess.

glenn says on 2/Dec/08
paltrow is 5-9.

glenn says on 2/Dec/08
i dont have a problem with craig being 5-10.jude law was 5-11ish barefoot next to michael caine in slueth.though how does craig tower deniro at the bond premiere by at least 3 inches?

Roger says on 1/Dec/08
I have found a worthwhile discussion about DC's height on commanderbond.net, here it is:
Click Here

One of the most important extracts from it - Gwyneth Paltrow is probably not even 5'9''. Read the post on the first site where Jude Law is taken as reference - Jude has himself said he is 5'9'' and that he wears lifts that give him 2 inches (hence he is, wrongly, listed as 5'11'' here). Now, the lifted Jude Law is basically even with a high heeled Paltrow.

Now, if you have checked out 5'9'' + 2 inch lift Jude Law with heeled Paltrow, check out this photo - Paltrow again with heels (which should put her at 5'11''), next to Daniel Craig: Click Here

Pretty scary, if you ask me.

While I respect Glenn's estimates in general, I have concluded he is seriously off here, Daniel Craig cannot be taller than 5'10'', and might even be a notch below.

RisingForce says on 1/Dec/08
He did look 5-10 next to Leno and Letterman actually.

I still see 5-10.5, 5-11 in the barefoot picture though.

Roger says on 1/Dec/08
Hadn't read this yet, Glenn, that you have actually met DC before he became 007.

Rising, take a close look at the posture of both Gwyneth and DC. I certainly don't see more than an inch between them, and of course there is Jay Leno being visibly taller than DC, same goes for 181 cm Mads Mikkelsen (hope I wrote the name correctly).

Just as an idea, Glenn - if you have DC at 5'11'', he'd now have Arnold's height. If you compare the two from when you met them, does this seem possible?

glenn says on 30/Nov/08
i mentioned many times i met daniel a year before he was bond. he seemed 5-11.my friends say 6ft.now 6ft is absurd,and i do agree he usually looks 5-10.

Toky says on 30/Nov/08
What's wrong with him not saying how tall he is? He IS entitled to his privacy and the whole world doesn't need to know. He is an amazing actor :] His height makes no difference.

RisingForce says on 30/Nov/08
Roger, you're entitled to your opinion but how do you see an inch max? I thought Craig was 5'10" max and possibly shorter until I saw that picture.

Roger says on 29/Nov/08
Glenn, DC was shorter than Jay Leno - watch the clip on youtube, when they shake hands. On the photo with Paltrow, he has not more than an inch on her.

I hope you will meet Daniel, Glenn, to give us a final verdict.

littlehorse says on 27/Nov/08
I'm a horse person so I think of height in terms of hands <:oD .... (a horses height is measured in "hands" from the ground or hooves to the top of the withers. A hand is 4") so at 5'10" and a bit (that's only 2" short of 6 feet. Sorry about the pun!) Daniel would be 70". Divided by 4 that equals 17.5 hands. A 17 and 1/2 hand horse is a TALL HORSE! So, if Daniel was a horse he'd be considered tall. As tall as most warmbloods! Ha, Ha! (which brings me to his sex appeal) BTW, a warmblood is a breed of horse which excels at dressage and 3 day eventing as well as harness events. So, in my opionion Daniel is tall enough and should be considered a warmblood! <:o

MD says on 26/Nov/08
Yes, a 5'8" woman is equivalent to a 6'2" man in most countries. It's tall no matter which way you turn it.

Viper says on 26/Nov/08
A 5-8 female seems taller than 90-95 percent of other females. So yeah, its rare.

Leung says on 26/Nov/08
The average difference between men and women is more like 4.5” to 5”, so it’s equivalent to 6’0.5”-6’1” male. It’s tall but let's not get carried away because it's not uncommon among current generation of young adults.

Derek says on 26/Nov/08
A 5'8" woman is the equivalence of a 6'2" guy. It's damn tall.

The Horse of FUNK says on 26/Nov/08
5'8" is tall for a girl. If I recall 5'8" is taller than 90-95% of other females, so yeah, do the math. It may not seem tall, but wait until a 5'8" girl puts some heels on.

glenn says on 26/Nov/08
i agree with viper.

RisingForce says on 25/Nov/08
Glenn's right. Look at him barefoot next to Gwyneth Paltrow who is 5-9. He's 5-11.

Greg says on 25/Nov/08
I always said he´s not taller than 5´10...I saw a lot of mowies and photos and in my pinion he´s stands 177,5 cm out of bed in the morning and 176,5 cm at evening.

I agree with Me. He is a tall actor. I still think 6 foot is possible but i'll stick with my estimation of 178cm to 180cm. He is not short.

Olga kurylenko is a tall girl, she's between 175-177cm and daniel craig was taller than her when they were walking on the beach in the movie. I would say he's between 178-180cm. He's taller than you think.

Brad says on 21/Nov/08
Weak 5' 10" with Paltrow on a beach, both in barefeet.

glenn says on 21/Nov/08
i saw him at 5-11 long before bond,3 years ago.funny enough dressed like bond.in a suit and dress shoes.

Evan Faine says on 20/Nov/08
She's only 5'8"...imo, that's not really tall for a girl. I think 5'10" and up for a girl could be be considered tall.

As for Craig, I just read the wardrobe people from QoS measured him at 5'9". What I don't get is how can he fit lifts into those shoes. Those are pretty thin shoes he wears with that tuxedo outfit, not exactly the type of shoes that can accomodate lifts.

Daniel says on 20/Nov/08
I could be wrong, but I just watched Quantum of Solace yesterday and throughout the whole film, Craig seemed to be in the 1.80m - 1.82m range. Neither taller than this nor shorter than that. Besides, he looked very well proportioned and athletic, not lean. Maybe around 83kg.

Rose says on 20/Nov/08
olga is taller than him... he had to wear small platforms durring 007 Solace...she's so tall!!!

Leung says on 18/Nov/08
Yeah I’m not convinced that Rove is a bona fide 173cm, I believe he is more likely 171cm maybe 172cm.

anonymous says on 18/Nov/08
Olga kurylenko is 177cm and daniel craig is a couple of inches taller. She's a tall actor. In rove, he looked a good 3 inches taller and rove is 173cm. 180cm seems accurate.

Mr. R says on 18/Nov/08
The Gemma Arterton quote is suspicious. If she is 5-7 and he is three inches taller at 5-10, she would have to wear 4 inch heels to be taller than him. Is that possible? Someone's not telling the truth here!

By the way, sorry I have been gone for so long. I ended up getting very sick and spent time in the hospital for awhile. I am good to go now.

Rob, is the April trip still on?

Marcelo C. says on 17/Nov/08
Just saw "Quantum...." a couple of hours ago. I don´t have the impression there´s even one scene with Craig looking tall. Not even in those "so mentioned" scenes wearing lifts, where he seems to be 5´9.5" tall at his most (shoes included). Apart from that, I do think he´s a very good Bond (violent scenes, cold attitude, dirty and uncombed look (when necessary), make him look as one of the better Bonds I´ve seen (he doesn´t necessary have to look as a "High Coiture" Model, as he isn´t that: He´s a very good Spy.

Mathias says on 17/Nov/08
Just saw Quantum last night.....not bad at all. On a side note, ever since I found this site, I can't stop looking at people's height (like it's true measure of somebodies worth, haha) Anyway, craig appeared anywhere from 5'8-6'1 in the movie based on the characters he was around most the time.

There was a scene where he was at a party standing with Olga Kurylenko (in heels mind you, putting her around 5'11) and craig appears about 2-3 inches taller than her. So they get into with a bunch of people and the next scene they are walking next to each other on a beach, Olga has her heels off, and craig looks maybe 2 inch taller in dress shoes (definitely not lifts because the shoes were about a 1/4 of the size of the shoes he was wearing for most of the movie lol, no harm intended though I'm 5'8 and wear "big boots" sometimes haha)
Sorry for the long post....it's my first.

I'de say the short end of 5'9 seems right

Lenor says on 17/Nov/08
The bad opening music made him appear shorter. I'd say between 5'7" and 5'8".

Jem says on 17/Nov/08
Still hunky, brooding and dangerous, Daniel Craig appears to be a leaner and smaller version of himself in Quantum of Solace. I think more bulk and camera angles in Casino Royale made for a taller, bigger appearance. I would be VERY surprised if he topped out at 5'9". More likely 5'8". Solace is a great ride and should really be seen with Casino Royale for story continuity and Bond's personal evolution as a 007. As a stand alone movie it seems lacking in character development but is still thrilling and interesting.

Ed(1) says on 17/Nov/08
I just saw Quantum of Solace earlier tonight, and Craig looked at best 5ft10 in the film! During a few scenes he gave the impression of near 6ft in his "special" shoes, but for the majority of the film he looked to be pushing 5ft11 tops in his regular all-around footwear. I'd guess he's between 5ft9.5-5ft10 tops!

Leung says on 16/Nov/08
Daniel Craig was on Rove last night and he looked like a strong 5’11”, I was shocked at how tall he looked. I suspect that in recent times he might be wearing small lifts, because in the past he has always looked 5’10.25” to 5’10.5”, but lately he has been looking taller than usual.

Andrew says on 16/Nov/08
i have seen 2 movies with daniel craig. in casino royale he looked 5ft10 and in layer cake he looked like a strong 5ft9 so i would say 5ft9.5 for Mr Bond with 2inch shoes makes him very close to 6ft

RisingForce says on 14/Nov/08
I think he's 5'11", he looked that height barefoot next to Gwyneth Paltrow.

Debbie says on 14/Nov/08
He's not tall, probably 5'9". When people in their posts say something about his female stars being tall and that he's taller means nothing did anyone see Atonement? , Keira is 5'10" and James was taller than her?? He's a SHRIMP in real life, come on, did any of you ever see an Alan Ladd movie??? Craig's got a beautiful body, he just needs a PAPER BAG OVER HIS HEAD!!!!

Dural says on 13/Nov/08
Craig wears lifts in quantum of solace and Olga Kurylenko is 5'8" in reality. They made him look tall in the new bond with many short actors on his side. I agree with leonari 6' is absurd. He can look 5'11"+ but that's with lifts.

cliff says on 13/Nov/08
max 5'11 min 5'95

artek says on 12/Nov/08
its been reported several time that due to his female co-star's height he was required to wear lifts. in quantum of solace that is.

Just to throw the cat amongst the pigeons heres a recent picture of Craig with Bob DeNiro.Click Here

Go watch quantum of solace and tell me he's not 6 foot. He's taller than olga kurylenko in the movie and she is 177cm. He's not that short as people think. He might be 181cm but close enough. Dont know about this guy he has a range of heights. I think 180-182cm is accurate no shorter.

leonari says on 11/Nov/08
6 foot for Craig is absurd. Never does he look that tall. Never. Not in a single pic, movie.
