Dear boys, letīs stop nonsense (with all respect, of course). If Ian used to be 5ī11.5", I couldnīt believe thereīs a film director whoīs rejected him for "half an inch" difference compared to James Bondīs height stated in the original 007īs stories. Whatīs more, if neccesary, he couldīve worn short lifts (I donīt really think it wouldīve been the case). Besides this, Ian used to be so elegant, well proportioned and graceful in movements, which altogether made him a typical handsome british gentleman (so similar to Moore). No doubt, many other taller actors wouldnīt have been so elegant and imposing on screen, I do insist, even being taller than him.

Frankly, I find hard to believe he lost the part of Bond because he is 5'10. According to Ogilvy he never got the part because the producers thought he was too similar to Roger Moore. Anyway, 5ft 11.5 is virtually 6 ft; that is a small difference to tell apart...

He used to be extremely handsome and British looked; Heīd have been an excellent Bond (British style, original accent, tall enough).

At any height he is a very talented actor and writer and incredibly handsome. He would have made a terrific Bond!

He failed to get the Bond role because he was 5.10.
