Daniel is the best choice for playing bond, smart,frank and cool attitude that he carries... Regarding his height , he is tall enough at 5'10.A spy dosen't have to be necessarily a giant....."
LOL
I totally agree Jay says on 20/Feb/10
So many people down below compared him to those other celebs and so far he can't reach 5ft 10. How can 5ft 10 be near Hugh Jackman's chin????? NOT POSSIBLE as that would made Jackman 6ft 5 filip says on 19/Feb/10

no doubt he is 180cm here. Shawn says on 19/Feb/10
Daniel is the best choice for playing bond, smart,frank and cool attitude that he carries... Regarding his height , he is tall enough at 5'10.A spy dosen't have to be necessarily a giant.
Rob.... why this discrimination towards other actors?? there are other actors listed at 178 cm and as 5'10 in here except for daniel who is listed here at 5ft 10.25 in and the same 178 cm!! Flyboy says on 16/Feb/10
"Why is he 5'10.25? He clearly looks more 177, 5'9.75 range or a weak 5'10" the quarter inch seems silly to me. Especially compared to say p diddy who is legit 5'10.5 and has him by half an inch or so maybe a little more."
I agree with this. 5'10" and I think most would be satisfied.
In fact, I am not sure if anybody has really made a case for Craig being over 5'10". That's where I think he's at (I certainly don't see him as 5'9 or lower), but there seems little point in having that extra quarter inch when there seems to be a consensus that 5'10 is his limit.
The Jackman/Craig photos are grossly unfair. Jackman is a big, big man, and will make the majority of men and women look small. When we're talking about a difference of several inches, it is easy to throw in that 'extra inch' to make Craig 5'9. It is more honest to measure him up against the likes of Nicole Kidman, Colm Meaney, Jude Law, Ewan McGregor, Paul Newman etc. Jay says on 14/Feb/10
This is a better example standing equal to the camera man
Click Here Jay says on 14/Feb/10
I disagree with Shaun. Craig makes a great Bond even at 5ft 9, much better than Hugh Jackman or other tall contenders could be. It's about personality. Connery would have been the best Bond even if he was 5ft 2! :) Ray Winstone is 5ft 9 and is gigantic because of his power. Jackman just comes across like a damp squid. If he is your classic Bond then there's something wrong about that. Shaun says on 9/Feb/10
Yeah that photo with Hugh Jackman he looks more like a 5'9" er. There's Hugh on the right looking like your classic 6'2" Bond and then there's Craig look nothing like Bond and sporting a rather old fashioned moustache. I can't believe how much women rave over Daniel Craig. Craig would make a good Bourne but I dislike him as Bond. I prefer Bond to be tall, dark, charming with a ruthless dark side above anything else, exactly like Connery was. All Craig has is the cold ruthless killer to him, he lacks the charm, looks and presence of a man like Connery who had everything going for him as Bond. Bond is supposed to have an element of tongue in cheek and charm. Brosnan was the complete opposite to Craig and had too much of it but was lacking in the ruthless killer department. I think all the Bonds have had their strengths, Moore was a little silly but entertaining to watch. Dalton I thought was excellent as Bond but too serious. Connery in my view was easily the best Bond and had the perfect balance of the required traits. Tanner says on 8/Feb/10
I am 5'3" I wish I could be 5'11" inches tall like Daniel Craig the_truth says on 30/Jan/10
5'10 folks, deal with it. Kim says on 29/Jan/10
5'9" is average in England and America, I personally consider 5'10" slightly on the tall side so maybe he's not a perfect spy :P and Craig does look quite tall to me, especially when he's next to the pretty English girl in Quantum of Solace. andrew says on 23/Jan/10
Agree with you JJ, most of us don't even realize that a true spy mustn't stand out from the crowd in appearance... A tall spy is no spy as he cannot hide properly.
This is also a thing that makes DC for me the best Bond (after Connery of course). sheppard says on 22/Jan/10
OMG! What difference does it make? Going on and on about how he looks 5'9" here and 5'10" there.... If any of you can prove you can tell that difference, notify me - I'll sell you a bridge! He's the best Bond since Connery (but not that good) and who cares if he's 5'9' and/or 5'10"/ JJ says on 20/Jan/10
5'10 sounds right. Above average and a fine height for a spy agent I might add :D \\\' says on 16/Jan/10
5'10" flat at the most. Anonymous says on 14/Jan/10
Why is he 5'10.25? He clearly looks more 177, 5'9.75 range or a weak 5'10" the quarter inch seems silly to me. Especially compared to say p diddy who is legit 5'10.5 and has him by half an inch or so maybe a little more. paul says on 12/Jan/10
He needs a downgrade; I met him last year he's 5'10'' even. James says on 4/Jan/10
Lol, MD, yeah true about eeking out every inch. I just think that a quarter inch is also too minute a fraction to distinguish without actually measuring someone - half an inch is different though. MD says on 1/Jan/10
I forgot to add that he may be given the extra quarter inch, because unlike most people, this guy has amazing posture. He shows what 5'10" really looks like when you're eking out every quarter inch of it. MD says on 1/Jan/10
Yeah, I'm also mystified why this quarter inch continues to be tacked on. He looks "just" 5'10" if not even a bit shorter. James says on 30/Dec/09
When is this guy going to be downgraded to 5'10 rather than 5'10.25. He looks just about 5'10" possibly a tiny bit lower. the extra 1/4 inch seems too generous and unecessary Maria says on 26/Nov/09
I just saw both Hugh and Daniel up close in the play "A Steady Rain" and I would estimate Hugh to be 6 ft 2 in. and Daniel at 5 ft 10 in. Hugh is long and lean while Daniel is a bit stocky (not fat, just a big ribcage) in the upper body so even if they were not standing beside each other, Hugh really does appear tall and Daniel nowhere close to 6 ft. zein says on 22/Nov/09
jackman is 6 ft 1,5 inches=186-187. this leaves craig with max 179, more likely 5 10 Vibram says on 3/Nov/09
Pakistani Indian says on 23/Sep/09
He is somewhere between 5 9 and 5 10. You can tell from all these pics.
----------
Agreed. I have him at 176cm (5ft9 1/2) or 177cm. Basically a mid or strong 5ft9 for Craig. The picture of him with 179cm (5ft10.5) P Diddy tells us he' looks 2cm or 3cm below 179cm: Click Here
P Diddy's page on here: Click Here Danny says on 27/Oct/09
He NEVER looks 6 feet tall -- well, maybe in a shot taken from a distance with no one else around. He is not tall and is sensitive about his height. Frankly, I doubt Hugh Jackman is even 6'2" but if he were standing side by side to Daniel, Daniel would look even shorter not taller. Moke says on 20/Oct/09
Craig definately looks his height. The angle sometimes produces a lot of confusion. On that pic for instant he looks like a weak 6-footer: Click Here Danny says on 20/Oct/09
rising force . . that isn't much of a camera advantage at all. I have my doubts that hugh is 6'2" which means Dan is really short (and petite). Daniel says on 17/Oct/09
Well, I'm surprised. Craig looks no taller than 1.75m (5'9'') in that picture with Jackman. RisingForce says on 17/Oct/09
So being further from the camera and looking 4 inches shorter than a solid 6'2" man makes you short? Jackman has the camera advantage and Craig looks like he's above average height when you keep Jackman's height in mind.
Craig is 5'10"-5'10.5". Danny says on 9/Oct/09
Craig is short. Here's a photo with Hugh Jackman: Click Here Pakistani Indian says on 23/Sep/09
He is somewhere between 5 9 and 5 10. You can tell from all these pics. FlyBoy says on 20/Sep/09
Put simply, there is no way Craig could put up a good fight against Kidman, especially when she's in heels, if he was 5'8/5'9. Those are some good links JoshJ. 5'10 seems a very reasonable assumption for Craig. Josh.J says on 14/Sep/09
Ed's link is broken so here are some pics of p diddy (5'10.5") and daniel craig:

p diddy is wearing boots and mr craig is in dress shoes. safe to say minimum difference in height due to shoes. they look pretty much equal but i reckon p diddy might just be a fraction taller. their listed height seems right. PJ says on 8/Sep/09
IMDC isn't a factual or conclusive listing. I agree with Jay. Jay says on 31/Aug/09
I concluded with myself at least he is about 5ft 9 now and was close to 5ft 10 when younger. He's over 40 now guys. Shrinkage kicks in. Jim says on 28/Aug/09
I'm a film reporter and have met Daniel Craig on several occasions. I'm 5'11" and, while his height has fluctuated a little bit, he's still about the same height as me. The very shortest he probably would be is 5'10". Mathew says on 19/Aug/09
He could be .5" shorter than this, 5'9.75" (177 cm). Taylor says on 19/Aug/09
Harry, do you just ignore the photos of Craig with Zwick? Harry says on 14/Aug/09
He looks from the photos with P diddy, and with other stars to be about 5'10, mhis shoes always seem a little big and maybe he is just ever so slightly shy of 5'10 like 5'9.75"/177cm, but more or less 5'10". The 5'8/9" claims are ridiculous mastadon says on 28/Jul/09
he is infact 5ft 10' Click Here PJ says on 20/Jul/09
Jay's posts and images of DC standing next to Zwick are rather concrete evidence that DC is 5'9 tops, imo. PJ says on 16/Jul/09
The pics of Craig standing next to Zwick are very telling, he's 5'9. He's a known and consistent wearer of lifts, that's how he looks 5'11 next to Winslet, for example. PJ says on 15/Jul/09
Even in the pics where's he's wearing a suit he looks 5'9. You can only look taller if the camera angle assists, or you're wearing lifts. Lebensdorf says on 10/Jul/09
What's with the .25? Has anyone here actually gone up to the guy and measured him to the last fourth of an inch? I assume Rob adds the .25 to suggest that Mr. Craig is what one might call "a strong 5 foot 10", and this is fine by me, but he really is 5'10'' and no more, strong or weak. On a recent YouTube video, I saw Craig's appearance on David Letterman, and David, who is about 6'2'', was at least four inches taller. Whatever the case, I still approve of him as Bond. :) Ed says on 10/Jul/09
Daniel Craig standing next to P. Diddy.
Click Here is listed as 5'10.5'' on this site, and Craig look almost an inch shorter. Lmeister says on 3/Jul/09
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 Anonymous says on 9/Jun/09

HA! @ Scottjames 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. 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

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

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.

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.

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

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?

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 !!!! 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. 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 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 littlesue says on 6/May/09
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 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?????????
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.

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. tim says on 18/Apr/09

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 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. leonari says on 30/Mar/09
Almaric could be shorter than 5'6 or Craig is wearing lifts. There are more than 4 inches between them. leonari says on 30/Mar/09

um double D im 6'0.25 and am more a man than you. Go away. RisingForce says on 30/Mar/09
Double B, you're a moron. How you even managed to turn on your computer is beyond me. Would you have gone up to 5'7.5" Bruce Lee and told him he wasn't a real man? How about 5'6" Jet Li or 5'9" Chuck Norris? Didn't think so. Double B says on 28/Mar/09
Bond needs to be at least 6'1" or tall. Height is a must for a real man. Daniel says on 27/Mar/09
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. anonymous says on 9/Mar/09
He looks taller than 5 foot 9 charlie sheen. 5 foot 10. anonymous says on 6/Mar/09
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 :) 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? 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. MD says on 30/Jan/09

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 bobby says on 17/Jan/09

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

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 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

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

Craig is tricky, he can look either 5-10 or 5-11. 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. 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. 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. 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. Greg says on 25/Nov/08

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. 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!

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. |
