gazinder: You should have more respect while posting here... grow up man. Rob good illustration he sure has lost a few inches over the years. gazinder says on 6/May/08
He looks 6' 1" there, especially as you're trying to make him look smaller by pushing him down wit your arm. It's clear that since you are a shortass you try and make the tall guys look shorter as well.
[Editor Rob: I know my hand on his shoulder makes no difference because it lightly sits there. If you think it does then every celeb who also has their hand on my shoulder must have an effect on my height then...but they don't really.
If I wanted to make anybody smaller I'd simply stand 2 inches closer to the camera and wear 1.5 inch shoes. Lazenby as I said a year to the day isn't 6ft but slightly under that mark in that pic. I can even illustrate it for you. But then calling the creator of the site a 'shortass' illustrates your lack of intelligence.]

nice pic...dont know much about his career, he was on the verge of being a huge star after the Bond film...then next thing you know he is doing late night skinemax Emannuelle films in the 80s with Sylvia Krystal...clothes on none the less. BERTA says on 3/May/08
looks like 185-86 here. derek d says on 3/May/08
Matt: I completely agree with you. I don't see how people can say he was only 6'1 1/2? LOL. He did look a strong 6'3 in OHMSS. Look at the wedding scene with Lazenby and Desmond who is listed 6'2 and always looked it with Connery. Lazenby is cleary a inch taller than Desmond Llewelyn if not more, where as Connery was always the same height as Llewelyn. I think his peak should be slightly upgraded. Charliemoto says on 3/May/08
ok he's quite tall i'll give him that but a loss of 5cm? dont think so.
20 years ago he was around 6'2 now around 6'1 imo he lost slightly an inch exactly.
he's definetely got poor posture dont be fooled. Ivan 6'2.25 says on 6/Feb/08
that's right rooney,by the way he said connery was 6'1.5 roger moore 6'1.25 and timothy dalton 6'1.75 the tallest. Rooney says on 28/Jan/08
According to the James Bond film tailors (the tailors have fitted and measured each of the 5 Bonds over the years) George Lazenby was 6' 1 1/2" without shoes. glenn says on 27/Jan/08
wish i had this.everyone has it except me since i hate conventions. Minstrel Man says on 27/Dec/07
Lazenby looks about 6'0.5" in the photo above. I wonder if his comment of Connery being taller than him refers to their peak heights or present heights. Anyway, I think Lazenby's peak was about 6'1.5". Matt says on 27/Nov/07
A touch shorter than I would have thought. He looked a strong 6'3" to me in OHMSS. He looked like a beanpole compared to some of the supporting cast. Not as bad a Bond as many make him out to be, either. Joshua says on 20/Oct/07
Well he sure looked tall in OHMSS. 6-2 sounds damn right. Ray says on 11/May/07
Viper, I wasn't too sure about 6'2.4" for Connery until I saw a photo of Michael Caine with 6'2" and change, Clive Owen. They were the same height and Caine is in his seventies. Sean had easily 0.5" on Caine in "the man who would be king". He's also a heavily built guy which would give the impression of him being shorter than he actually is. I can see 6'2.4" for Connery in his early 20's. Mario says on 10/May/07
That's your opinion, but considering he was about two inches taller than some guy's of that competetion who where at least 6 ft and that he looks easy 6 ft 2.5 in the Bond movie's next to his co-stars in my opinion, I think that that measurement is close or is the truth. 6 ft 2.4 sounds also pretty accurate.
I haven't seen much of Lazenby, and I keep changing my opinion on him, but he looks a good 6 ft 2 next to 5 ft 8.5 Diana Rigg. Viper says on 9/May/07
"Connery was measured at 6'2.4" (189 cm). Lazenby, probably was 6'1.5" (187). Both, claim 6'2" which is reasonble enough but somebone an inch taller than you would be noticeable to yourself as you would feel yourself stretching to match their height."
Sorry Ray, but Ive never beleived the supposed 6-2.4 measurement for Connery. Not for a second. Mainly because we dont know If it was barefoot or in shoes, and secondly hes never really looked 6-2.4 at all. He looks a more beleivable 6-1.5 in the Bond films. So Lazenby at a flat 6-1 at peak and Connery at 6-1.5 peak looks to be more accurate. Anonymous2 says on 6/May/07
No offense Rob, but in that photo big George looks a good 5" taller so 6'1"!
[Editor Rob:
lol, I'm not going to take offence at anybody's opinion ;)
its always interesting to read what people think height differences are. Many people overestimate it, even I would sometimes positively round what I think a diff might be in celeb2celeb comparisons...
5 inches is BIG though...
That pic is as close to ideal as you can get in photo ops with celebs...no footwear difference, same distance from camera, he isn't slouching, trust me on that...
If you want some sort of calculation to illustrate why he isn't 6ft 1 then:
Consider my interpupil distance, technically its slightly less than 6.4, but hey lets just use
Robs 6.4cm pupil
Lazenby pic with markings:
Lazenby pic
I've drew marks showing how much hair (mine isn't that much, lazenby is brushed up and back).
I drew mark showing the pupils aswell and that distance between them isn't more than 6.4cm.
Now, use that to figure out that he is close to 8.7cm taller, but lets be generous and round that to 9cm.
Look how much 8.6cm actually looks like with the ruler in the central part of my head:
8.6cm - its a fair whack.
The pic might have some slight vertical distortion, but it really isn't much, the angle is pretty wide, but lets add on another 0.25cm. Lets give him another 0.25cm for say extra hair below my black hair line.
9.5cm we're up to now...or 5ft 11 and 3/4. Give him another 1/4 inch if you want, he's a good fella ;)
] Leung says on 6/May/07
He was on “Where are they now?” (Aussie tv show) last night and he wasn’t much shorter than Kochie who is 6’3”. Lazenby looks 6’1”. glenn says on 6/May/07
that is a nice shirt. snrub says on 5/May/07
I like the Celtic shirt Rob Anonymous says on 4/May/07
Where was this Rob? Josh says on 4/May/07
6'0 seems about right. Ray says on 4/May/07
Looks 6'1" in that photo with Rob. He has stated that Connery was taller than him which would sound right. Connery was measured at 6'2.4" (189 cm). Lazenby, probably was 6'1.5" (187). Both, claim 6'2" which is reasonble enough but somebone an inch taller than you would be noticeable to yourself as you would feel yourself stretching to match their height.
[editor rob: this is close to ideal photo for calculating difference that i mention in one of the articles i know my various face dimensions and can be used to estimate pretty well.. he is very close to six foot but never over.] Mario says on 4/May/07
Mr. Lazenby also told editor Rob that Sean Connery was taller than him. Would you say that somebody is 'taller' than you if that person has only a 0.4-0.5” on you? Derek says on 3/May/07
Looks 6'0"-6'1" with Rob. Definitely under 6'2". glenn says on 3/May/07
impressive. Viper says on 3/May/07
He listed at 6-1 as well. Trev says on 29/Mar/07
A few years ago I bought a video box set of OHMSS, in the box was a booklet of the actors biog and stories about shooting the film , on the info of Lazenby is an image of his CV, with vital stats such as shoe size, coller, chest etc which states that he is 6'1.5". He was a great bond, if only he'd have stuck with it! Second best to Connery! jan says on 29/Dec/06
He's still my favorite Bond. Mario says on 13/Oct/06
And I always though that he looked in the 190 cm range! At least in OHMSS, because I don't know him from any other movie.
This hasn't much to do with his height, but how was the man himself Rob? Editor Rob says on 2/Oct/06
I asked Lazenby on Saturday about his time on Bond and sneaked him a question about height/tallest bond, he said (paraphrasing) 'I'm 6ft 2, but Connery is taller than me'.
Nowadays, he has very good posture but I would have guessed not over 183cm today, so whether he's lost 1-1.5 inch, I dunno. Jacks says on 26/Apr/06
6ft and .5 inches for lazenby. I don't think any of the Bonds were actually at 6'2. I think Brosnan is the shortest at 5'11 and 1/2in . No way Lazenby was at a solid 6'2. Picture says on 25/Apr/06
Every Bond has been promoted at 6 ft 2.
I doubt they will do the same with Craigy. Viper652 says on 21/Apr/06
Was Laznenby really a big 6-3 guy?? I keep reading some encountersd with him that say he was over 6-3, and the studios downgraded him? Im still sticking with 6-1 1/2 on him. Picture says on 20/Apr/06
Peak height: 6 ft 3
Current height 6 ft 2.
Right? Forever_69 says on 12/Mar/06
Not sure if this helps but on A&E they recently did a bio on Gene Simmons, in it there is a picture of him standing next to Connery, when Connery was in his mid 50's, possibly would have shrunk some by then, Simmons would be at peak height.
Both men have normal looking shoes on are facing each other, are same distance from camera, standinh upright, and on level fround, they appear exact same height.
Simmons is listed as being 6-2 in many sources, while Connery was said to be 6-2 in Never Say Never Again in 1983, down from 6-2.5 in his early 20s (which seems feasible)
Now in the 1986 film Too Young To Die, George Lazenby appears about an inch taller than Simmons. Lazenby would have been around age 46 at that time.
It's anecdotal evidence but it does appear Lazenby was more like a solid 6-3 compared to those two if they were 6-2.
[Editor Rob: it is feasible Lazenby was closer to 6ft 3 in his prime] J.J.F says on 19/Dec/05
"I am 185-186cm and pegged Brosnan at 188cm minimum, he also had normal 2-2.5cm dress shoes on, so no LIFTS!!"
You still don't seem to understand that proper elevator shoes, dress shoes or boots it doesnt matter, are specially designed to look exactly like normal shoes, they dont have larger soles. You can't see the difference unless you lift up the trouser leg. Try and accept that.
You just can't be certain whether the guy had normal shoes on or not, no matter how annoyed this may make you.
As for lazenby I think he looked a solid 6'2" next to 'Q' in OHMSService. Mario Nariano says on 3/Dec/05
Dalton and Brosnan are closer to the camera.
There is a picture in wich Lazenby and Dalton look about the same height and then again there is another picture in wich Moore looks about the same height as Brosnan. Picture says on 24/Nov/05
I still can't believe that in such a cool site as celebheight Brosnan is listed as almost 6 ft 2. Everyone knows that Brosnan is shorter than Lazenby and Dalton who are now grandpas and not as tall as they were in there younger days. Brett says on 23/Nov/05
Seb, I met Brosnan in the Marc hotel on madison and 77th Manhattan, he was standing with an elderly lady, whom I didnt recognise. Seb by saying Brosnan is no more then 6ft proves your ignorance, Brosnan in the pic with all 4 of them was the biggest one there bar Dalton, who was also closest to the camera. I am 185-186cm and pegged Brosnan at 188cm minimum, he also had normal 2-2.5cm dress shoes on, so no LIFTS!! Now seeing your just claiming heights based on nothing, and Yao is a chick, I think you guys are just wasting your energy typing. I can tell you that Connery is no more then 6ft anymore, as close friend of mine had a photo with connery, and connery was unable to see over my 5'8" inch friends head. I can see over it easily and im just over 6'1". So thats rubbish. Brosnan claims to be 6'2" and no less, and I am able to verify this. Seb you can list bond heights all you like, but seeing you have had no encounters with them, they will remain mere speculations, so stop bothering . Seb says on 12/Nov/05
It's hilarious the people who come here lying about having met a certain celebrity, and ten times as well! The fact is Brosnan is no more than 6 foot and if he looks taller then he is wearing lifts. Lazenby was nearly 6'2 as a young man, and 6'1 now. Seb says on 10/Nov/05
The only reason Brosnan looked taller than Moore is because Moore is old and has lost some height. If Brosnan looks 6'2 in real life then he is wearing some very good shoes because after Daniel Craig he is unquestionably the shortest actor to play Bond, so haha. Brett says on 28/Oct/05
That site freewebs.com purposely doesnt show the pic of 4 of them when brosnan towers over moore, and only shows some other random pic, where moore probably has lifts on. But they choose to use half of the pic where all 4 of them are shown when comparing Lazenby to moore, sounds dodgy to me, hes just trying to list the order that he wants. If he just put that whole pic up he would see how much brosnan and dalton tower over the other 2. Brett says on 28/Oct/05
yes like you would know haha are you their tailor. Ive met brosnan as Ive said about 10 times, in the marc hotel new york, and if he is 6'0" then i must be 5'11" except im 185-186cm and he was like 1 to 1.25 inches taller then me, so thats rubbish, nice one. Also in that pic with all four bonds ( laz, bros, Dalton, and moore) Brosnan and dalton are clearly the tallest while moore looks the shortest by a couple inches. so rubbish. I would say Lazenby is still around 6'1.5" or so, maybe a tiny bit more. As I have met brosnan, I just think its hilarious how people say hes only like 5'11" , the Brosnan i saw could see over a person whoes 5'11"s bloody head almost. Seb says on 21/Oct/05
The real aheights of the Bond actors, according to their tailors:
Connery 6-1.5
Lazenby 6-1 and a half
Moore 6-1
Dalton 6-2
Brosnan 6-0 Mario Nariano says on 16/Sep/05
Ehm if you have hear you look taller, so it's nonsense that a guy looks taller if he has is head shaped. I was at the Die Another Day premiere and I can tell you that Dalton is those days a little taller than Lazenby. Mr. Klaus says on 13/Sep/05
In the picture of Lazenby, Moore and Dalton. Lazenby is the closest to the camera. Poeple who was at the die another premiere also claims that Dalton was the tallest of the 4 Bond actors. Mario Nariano says on 27/Aug/05
I will soon rewatch the movie, but from what I can renember they looked at some points the same height. 2 inches isn´t really much, my uncle is 2 inches shorter than I, and sometimes he can look taller than my.
PS. I chanced DiCàprio´s height a year ago to 6 ft 1 and Eastwood to 6 ft 1. Mario Nariona says on 24/Aug/05
The are some points in the wedding scene in wich Lazenby looks about the same hieght as Llewelyn. Llewelyn has bad posture, you should know that as a Bond fan. T o be honest lazenby ) who claims by himself that he is 6 ft 2) never looked taller than 6 ft 2 Mr. Klaus says on 22/Aug/05
Nah I don't think so, he was slighty over 6 ft when he was playing Bond. Moore is about the same height as Michael Lonsdale (His Moonraker co-star). From The pics that i have seen of Connery and Moore I would say that Connery is two inches taller. In 1981 Connery visited the "For your eyes only" set, i have seen some pics in wich you can clearly see that Connery was clearly two inches taller. In the Moore page there is also a good pic of Caine, Connery and Moore. Ah and Lazenby is those days a little shorter than Dalton. Mr. Klaus says on 20/Aug/05
Do you see 2cm of difference between Connery and Moore? Because I not. Viper652 says on 15/Aug/05
If Connery is 6-2.5 then why do his tailors say 6-1.5??? I will beleive them more over some random person on the internet. Mr. Klaus says on 13/Aug/05
Lazenby has Hair and a damm good posture and Llewelyn not (and maybe he wasn't at his full height).
I only know Lazenby from his role as James Bond, so I don't know how tall he looks in his TV-series and other movie's, but he has sayd by himself that he was 6 ft 2, why would a 6 ft 3 guy say that he is 6 ft 2? Connery was 6 ft 2.4 and when poeple asked him about his height he sayd that he was 6 ft 2 because it's easier to say. Anshelm says on 23/Jul/05
Indeed, in The Pretender he looked maybe 4–5 cm shorter than Michael T. Weiss (usually listed as 6'3", but his character's height was 6'2"). Of course, he was aged 59 and 60 in the episodes he appeared in. David says on 3/Jun/05
It's true tennis player's heights nowadays are in their tennis shoes, adding about an inch from their barefoot height. However, in pam's day those heights were without shoes. Pam Shriver is 6 feet without shoes, as in her time they listed heights without shoes. John says on 1/Jun/05
I have seen several picsof them. In one pic Lazenby is slouched over about 6 inches and still appears to be only about 2 inches shorter than Shriver. In another, standing next to each other Lazenby appears about an inch shorter, yet Shriver has high heels on. Tennis players arelisted in heights with shoes BTW. So Lazenby may be 6-1 now from old age barefoot, or still 6-2 barefoot, but he's at least 6-2 with shoes on. Mr. R says on 21/May/05
One way to be sure about George - he is now married to former tennis player Pam Shriver who was always listed at 6 foot even. Maybe Rob can find a pic with the two of them together! Seth says on 20/May/05
George Lazenby according to the Wax Museum, which still has his data claims that Lazenby was 6'2" tall without shoes on. |
