Hugh says on 5/Jan/09
Peak i'd say 189cm. He looked like a solid 6ft3 next to 6ft1.5 Jack Lord in Dr. No. James says on 5/Jan/09
I could buy 6ft2.5 becuae he did look that in Comparison to Kevin Costner.
Hugh says on 4/Jan/09
He was. James says on 3/Jan/09
Seemed a bit taller than Kevin Costner in the Untouchables. Maybe he was actually 6ft2.5? Hugh says on 28/Dec/08
Rob can you please tell me how to download pictures onto this site?
I've found some interesting Connery pics with Michael Caine.

Connery was 6ft2.5 and Caine was 6ft2 flat. End of Discussion. Hugh says on 27/Dec/08
Still Ray, he's clearly taller than a 6ft1.5 listed Jim Carrey. 6ft2 even these days is not laughable. Ray says on 26/Dec/08
TELLEM, 188 cm is 6'2". In fact its slightly over 6'2". I pretty sure 6'2" is 187.96 cm. Ray says on 26/Dec/08
Hugh, I never said 6'1" peak. I've always said he was 6'1.5". toadyking says on 24/Dec/08
TELLEM 1.88 is actually 6'1/5'' if anyone uses imperial/metric conversions it's 6.167979 feet so connery is right, i dunno why the 6'2 height is still showing here. TELLEM says on 24/Dec/08
the man said he was 6'1.5 ...and ppl still say 6'2.5 peak lol... Hugh says on 24/Dec/08
No you're off your head. You think he was no more than 6ft1 at his peak, lol. Ray says on 23/Dec/08
You're off your head...6'3". LOL Hugh says on 23/Dec/08
6ft2.5 prime, lost half an inch and is now 6ft2 flat. RisingForce says on 23/Dec/08
Yeah he was easily over 6-2 in those early Bond movies, he did look 6-3 at times but if he was measured 6-2.4 then I won't argue. He's still an inch or 2 taller than Nicolas Cage today. Brad says on 23/Dec/08
Wow, Rising nailed it. I've met Lana Wood 6 times and compared to her in "Diamonds Are Forever" I'd even go very close to 6' 3" in '70 with no problem at all. I saw him at The Bellagio a year or two ago and he hasn't pulled an Eastwood and lost his height much. 6' 1" easy. James says on 22/Dec/08
Okay Hugh I can belvie 6ft2 but I am not sure if he was over it though? Ray says on 22/Dec/08
BruceWayne; he slimmed down a lot for Dr No but prior to that he was quite a bit bulkier. Remember he was a body builder. Check out D'arby O'Gill (1959) he was a fairly big guy in that. Fleming saw him in that and that's why he had the view of him looking like an overgrown stuntman. RisingForce says on 22/Dec/08
6-2.4 peak and closer to 6-1 now at 78 years old. Lenad says on 22/Dec/08
I'm begining to think he didnt lose more than 1cm. Today he looks similar height to Jim Carrey. Hugh says on 21/Dec/08
James, you've seemed to change your mind on Connery. I still strongly beleive he was a good 6ft2 at his peak. BruceWayne says on 19/Dec/08
Ray, what do you mean by "beefed up"? I have a book with a lot of pictures of him that were made during his engagement as Bond, and he always looks slim there. Ray says on 18/Dec/08
I never heard that said about him. I heard Ian fleming thought he looked like an overgrown stuntman but that was because he was beefed up prior to getting the Bond role and was a bit rough around the edges. The Bond producers, especially Cubby Brocolli liked the way he moved but there was no mention of his height being a problem. BruceWayne says on 17/Dec/08
Why didn't the Bond producers want to engage him because of his too tall stature if he was only 6'1.5? This isn't that tall. He must have been at least 189cm as a young man. James says on 17/Dec/08
At peak he could have been as low as 6ft1.25 late at nigth. TELLEM says on 16/Dec/08
if he sys 6'1.5 then thats what he is and could still be today...but then maybe he was saying his after noon height and morning height he reaches 6'2 Ed(1) says on 16/Dec/08
If the pics of Carrey and Connery are from this last year, then that shows that Connery is still a solid 6ft1 in his late 70's. I can't tell if he has any sort of lift going on in the pic, it would be almost impossible to tell without a side shot, but I think it's safe to say he's only lost a little bit in height over the years. Maybe 0.5-1"? This would indicate that in his films from the 90's-now he was probably a good 6ft1.5 the whole time. James says on 16/Dec/08
I don't think he has ever been 189cm, maybe out of bed at peak. Ray says on 16/Dec/08
Well mister lennon who says Carrey is that tall anyway ? People are just comparing him to other actors. However Connery said he was 6'1.5" during his Bond days and also I distinctly heard him say on The Tonight Show in mid '90's that he was 6'1.5" depending on the state of his shoe leather. So about 6'0.5 - 0.75". My friend met him in an Irish bar in New York for the rugby Calcutta cup this year and said he was surprised that he wasn't taller. Just my 2 cents.. TELLEM says on 15/Dec/08
thats because jim carrey was and is a flat 6'1 Mister Lennon says on 15/Dec/08
188 now and 189 at peak sounds pretty right for Connery, perfect.
And ray, he couldnt be only 187 at peak because he is taller than Jim Carrey now. James says on 15/Dec/08
He was the same size as Michael Caine a legit 6ft1.5-6ft2. Ray says on 15/Dec/08
187 peak. If he said 6'1.5" then he knew his height pretty much exactly. Who's gonna say 6'2" then retract it and say actually 6'1.5" ? Viper says on 14/Dec/08
LOL at Hugh. Yeah Lenad, I dont think hes lost more tham 1cm. Hugh says on 14/Dec/08
189cm peak, 188cm now. James says on 14/Dec/08
He's still built quite big as well Lenad says on 14/Dec/08
Maybe lost no less than 1cm. Hugh says on 14/Dec/08
Adam those estimates are perfect. Viper, stop trying make yourself out as like the tallest man in the world. Hugh says on 13/Dec/08
James, Sean hasn't had any injuries. Viper says on 12/Dec/08
Connery might have lost only a quarter of an inch from 187cm peack to 186cm now. adam says on 12/Dec/08
Viper says on 9/Dec/08
Connery has barely shrunk If at all.
Viper, you have a really bad habit: You say things that you dont know anything about. You´ve never met Sean or anyone else. How the hell can you know how much people have shrunk?? Films and reality are two different things. Sean was at least 6-2 in his Bond days. He was measured over 6-2 you know. He has claimed 6-1˝? Well that doesnt mean anything. He probably doesnt give a damn about height. Viper: You have an obsession, a fetish to make everyone shorter than what they are. Do you enjoy that? Obiously you do!
Bonds:
Connery: 6-2 or slightly more
Lazenby: 6-2
Moore: 6-1˝
Dalton: 6-2
Brosnan: 6-1˝
Craig: max. 5-10 and probably less
There you go! Rob, remember: Height is the most important thing in the world. RisingForce says on 12/Dec/08
I agree that cage is 6-0 max and Connery is still taller than him even today! Lenad says on 11/Dec/08
Maybe he is strong 187cm or more today if Jim Carrey is strong 185cm or more. Pheraps Sean lost no more than half an inch. Frank2 6feet sighting intrigues the hell out of me. James says on 11/Dec/08
Injuries affected thier height as well Hugh. I really don't think Cage is over 6ft, basicly I woulden't go higher than 184cm for him in my opinion. Hugh says on 11/Dec/08
Nah, Josh has a point on Cage. I personally think he could be near 6ft1 if not 6ft1. Hugh says on 11/Dec/08
James you are right. Connery lost barely any height. But guys like Garner, Ford and Eastwood brought it on themselves due to bad posture. Ray says on 11/Dec/08
Cage isn't 6'1". I'd say he's 5'11 - 11.5". Check out the film raising arizona. When he's at the height chart he just comes up to the 6' mark and I presume he's wearing shoes. Josh says on 11/Dec/08
In the rock he looked about an inch and and a bit taller than nicholas cage. And if cage is near 6ft 1 then connery could look near the 6ft 3 mark. TELLEM says on 10/Dec/08
i think today connery is 6'1.5 and jim carey 6'1 James says on 10/Dec/08
Yeah he really hasn't lost that much height, not compared to Harrison Ford at least. Sean Connery is lucky not have lost a lot of height unlike James Garner or Clint Eastwood. Lenad says on 10/Dec/08
Cant imagine Sean being a lift wearer at all. For one he doesnt look below the 6'1 mark today and thats tall. Viper says on 9/Dec/08
Connery has barely shrunk If at all. Hugh says on 9/Dec/08
Aswell that's just one picture. Connery clearly has an edge on Carrey in all the other photos. I'm also beginning to come around to the idea of Connery being a little bit less than 6ft2. James says on 9/Dec/08
I belive in 2002/2003 Morgan Freeman was still a solid 6ft2.5 and in that film he only had 1 inch on Jim Carrey. adam says on 9/Dec/08
Carrey is 6-1˝ or something... Sean is nowadays around 6-1 maybe. Once again: a strong 6-2 peak. Lenad says on 8/Dec/08
Carrey 185+ and Connery 186+. Maybe Sean lost no more than half an inch. Da Man says on 8/Dec/08
Connery w/o a doubt edges Carrey Viper says on 8/Dec/08
They are both 186cm. Ed(1) says on 8/Dec/08
James if that's this last year, then I'd say Connery and Carrey are both around the 6ft1 mark, maybe Carrey is 6ft1.25? Like Viper said, they are both very close in height. Hugh says on 8/Dec/08
How tall would Sean be in lifts? Hugh says on 8/Dec/08
No there half an inch apart. Connery has the advantage. Viper says on 7/Dec/08
Connery and Carrey are pretty much the same exact height. James says on 7/Dec/08
Ed those pics were only taken in september this year. Hugh says on 7/Dec/08
Connery is half an inch taller than Jim Carrey. End of Discussion. Lenad says on 7/Dec/08
5ft11 is utter bull for Jim Carrey. The guy's at least 6ft1. Ed(1) says on 6/Dec/08
I agree James, Carrey looks to have a slight edge on Connery not the other way around. It's pretty insignificant though! I don't know exactly when this pic was taken, maybe in the last 5 years?), but it's possible Connery is 6ft0.75 in that pic to Carrey's 6ft1. If Carrey is 6ft1.5, then Connery is still 6ft1 easy, and if that's the case a peak height of 6ft2 is very possible. Hugh says on 6/Dec/08
That's just one photo. In all the others Connery is slightly taller. James says on 6/Dec/08
I noticed that Carrey had a slight edge on Connery actually. Steve Martin still looks a solid 5ft11.5. Viper says on 5/Dec/08
I think both Carrey and Connery are 186cm. Hugh says on 5/Dec/08
I refuse to beleive that Carrey is taller than Connery. COnnery had a slight edge on Carrey. I think it's Carrey 6ft1.5, COnnery 6ft2 and Martin 5ft11.5. Tom Lee Jones is 6ft. Viper says on 5/Dec/08
Connery is still 6-1 today. Not below that. Though I cant explain how he looks taller than Carrey. Mister Lennon says on 5/Dec/08
The thing that i dont get is why the people are still saying that he is in the 6' mark. So, if he is only 6' tell me how on hell he looks taller than jim carrey. Is carrey a 5'11 guy or something??? Mister Lennon says on 5/Dec/08
Dudes, in those pictures, connery is taller than carrey. He has the edge, a little edge, but he is taller. Maybe my eyesight is pretty bad, but connery looks taller in all the pictures by a little bit.
Jones is a clear 6' guy. In batman forever, he was wearing normal shoes, not boots. Lifts??? i dont know, but those shoes that he was wearing looked normal. Maybe camera angles or so, but he looked the same than Jim Carrey, and Carrey is a solid 6'1 guy.
my guesses:
Sean Connery: 6'2 and a half at peak and a weak 6'2 today.
Jim Carrey: 6'1 and a half today.
Steve Martin: 5'11 and a half at peak and now just 5'11.
Tommy Lee Jones: 6' and a half at peak and now just 6'. James says on 5/Dec/08
Jim Carrey I thought looked like 3cm taller than Tommy Lee Jones in Batman Forever although Carrey did have a crazy hairstlye going on in Batman Forever. I agree though at times though Tommy Lee Jones could look a fraction shorter than Busey. I remeber though Jones towered over Robert Downey Jr and looked not much shorter than Benico Del Toro. Jay says on 5/Dec/08
The best height description for Connery is 6'1". Even at his younger peak, he was probably given a generous measurement, and was definitely not more than 6'2".
- Jay Lenad says on 4/Dec/08
I'm surprised that Viper is surprised that Jim Carrey isnt actually 6'1 because once he said 'Jim looks no more than flat 6ft1' Lenad says on 4/Dec/08
Carrey and Connery look just shy of shoulder level. I'd say measured by a doctor Carrey would be 185cm+ and Connery 186cm+. Ed(1) says on 4/Dec/08
I think you're pretty spot on Ray! Tommy Lee Jones looks a legit 5ft11-5ft11.5, and maybe 6ft when he was younger, but he's nowhere near 6ft0.5 today! He's most likely 6ft+ in the cowboy boots he always wears, and I'm pretty sure he wore heeled boots as Two Face in Batman Forever which is why he looked closer in stature to Carrey. I also don't know if Carrey is a full 6ft1.5, maybe more like 6ft1.
In that pic with Connery and Carrey, Carrey looks to have the edge, and as for Martin he's easily an inch shorter and I'd be willing to bet he's wearing a bit of a lift. The guy is 5ft11 tops, and most likely 6ft+ in his shoes.
As of right now I'd say 6ft1.5-6ft2 tops for Connery in his youth, with a slow progression to around 6ft0.5 today. Based on that pic I could see Connery at 6ft0.5, Carrey at 6ft1, and Martin at 5ft11. Mister Lennon says on 4/Dec/08
First, Tommy Lee Jones is an strong 6'. he wasnt much shorter than will smith, he was the same than gary busey if not taller. He was taller than both javier bardem and josh brolin. He looked not much shorther than gene hackman. He looked the same or taller than harrison ford. He is a big guy, a clear 6' guy.
Second, in batman forever, carrey never looked a full inch taller than Jones. They looked the same. In some scenes, carrey looked a little bit taller, in other scenes, Jones looked a little bit taller. Never a full inch of difference between both actors. Plus, in the premiere pictures, both jones and carrey looked almost the same, and Jones looked even a little bit taller than val kilmer. So, he is a 6' dude.
Third, carrey looks a little bit shorter than Connery,never the oppositte. Sometimes, they looked the same. But studing the pictures, Connery is still taller than carrey, not for much, but taller. Ray says on 4/Dec/08
Hugh, Tommy Lee Jones at 6'0.5" is a laugh. He's at best 5'11". He was shorter than Busey (182 cm) in Under Siege by an inch and Jones had cowboy boots on. CUK makes a good point, Steve Martin was 5'11" peak so work that one out. Also if you check that photo Sean and Carrey are roughly the same height accounting for posture. In fact Carrey looks slightly taller. CUK says on 3/Dec/08
If connery and Carey are 6ft 1 plus, is Steve Martin wearing lifts?
Click Here Hugh says on 3/Dec/08
6ft2.5 peak and 6ft2 flat nowadys. James, Jim Carrey is 6ft1.5 because he was only an inch shorter than Morgen Freeman, about an inch shorter than Clint Eastwood (6ft3ish at this time) in the Dead Pool. a good inch taller than Tommy Lee Jones (6ft0.5 at least at this point) in Batman. James says on 3/Dec/08
Still looks a strong 6ft1 next to Jim Carrey Ed(1) says on 2/Dec/08
So is it possible that Connery's 6ft2 listing was a with shoes estimate all this time, and not his true barefoot height? I don't think it's unrealistic that Connery could've been 6ft1.5 peak and hit the 6ft2 mark in shoes!
6ft1.5- 60's-70's
6ft1.25- 80's
6ft1- 90's
6ft0.5-today
Depending on his footwear over the years(normal heeled classic dress shoes 0.5", todays casual shoes 1", boots 1.5"), Connery could've been as high as 6ft3 in his youth and still hitting the 6ft1+ mark today! James says on 2/Dec/08
Ray seriously under 6ft in the 90's? I'd be suprised if he was anything under 183cm back then but then again at times in the Fugetive Ford did look 182cm. Ray says on 2/Dec/08
James, Ford was only about 5'11"-6' in the early '90s. See photo with Glenn. He therefore must have been around this height for Last Crusade. Ford never looked over 6'as far as I'm concerned. Check out The Conversation (great film btw) there's a scene when Hackman is walking with Ford in the corridor. I can't believe how short Ford looks. Hugh says on 1/Dec/08
Ray, They did something with the camera angles in the Last Crusade. That's why Glover looked a bit taller than Connery. It's actually the other way around in reality. Personally I think Glover is under 6ft2 today. James says on 1/Dec/08
Ok say for instance Connery was 188cm at peak well at age 58 he could have lost 1cm making him 6ft1.5, that would made Harrison Ford 6ft.25 back then. Anonymous says on 1/Dec/08
At the 1988 Oscars (clip on Youtube), Moore, Connery and Caine appeared.The former looked an inch shorter than the other two. Ray says on 1/Dec/08
In the Last Crusade he was about 58 at time of filming. He looked to be shorter than Julian Glover (6'2" prime). He also looked to be only about an inch taller than Ford. I've never seen Ford more than 6'. He was a lot shorter than Hackman in The Conversation (~2-3 inches). The most I would give for Connery in Last Crusade would be 186 cm (6'1.25") down from about 187 cm youth. Lenad says on 30/Nov/08
How could this guy be just 6feet at age 69? Maybe he truly was only 6'1 which seems too low for him then. James says on 30/Nov/08
I think those James bond height listing could be a few cm's inaccaurate of thier realy heights. Lenad says on 29/Nov/08
I remember him being a tiny bit taller than Michael Caine in Man who would be King but as I said before, Caine was not a full 6'2. Frank2 saw the guy at 6'1 in his youth which would put Connery as a legit 6'2 guy in his youth and legit 6'1 guy today. Ed(1) says on 29/Nov/08
Even though I don't have any issue seeing Connery at 6ft2 or more in his youth, what I don't get is why EON apparently gives him a listing of 6ft1 and the Bond tailors say 6ft1.5?
Click Here James says on 29/Nov/08
Ed really? I thought Connery didn't really look that much over 6ft in Russia with Love, like only 186cm or 187cm tops! He didn't see that much of the movie though. Ed(1) says on 28/Nov/08
I've had my doubts about Connery being over 6ft2 in his youth, but after seeing From Russia with Love recently and taking into account these pics, he very well could have ben 6ft2.5 in his heyday! His stature back then was very similar to a guy like Hugh Jackman, who's a legit 6ft2.25. James says on 28/Nov/08
In the Last Crusade I think Harrison Ford was 6ft 1/2 and Sean Connery was still 6ft2. Maybe?
Ed in your photo Harrison Fords does seem to have laid back posture compared to Sean Connery. Anonymous says on 28/Nov/08
In the Pic of Ed(1), this looks like a 2-3 inch difference to me. No better angle for anyone and presumably flat ground. And Connery is old. Even in this age he looks like 6'2, in his prime he could have been 6'3. Hugh says on 28/Nov/08
Easily 6ft2 in youir pic. I think Connery was 188-189cm at that time and Ford was 184-185cm. But even though Connery is broader than Ford, he's still got about 2 inches there. And I refuse to beleive that Ford was under 6ft at that time. Ed(1) says on 28/Nov/08
Yeah I agree they are not perfect photos to judge from, but in my opinion they definitely give enough evidence to point to Connery being taller then Ford by at least an inch or so. Here's another one of them walking side by side:
Click Here
James,
as for Connery's size making him look bigger, I really don't think that his weight and width is doing it as much as he was legitimately taller. I'm sure it adds to the effect, but I don't think it's strictly that.
So James and Ray, how tall do you think they both were in Last Crusade? James says on 28/Nov/08
In the second image it looks like Sean Connery is standing on a step. You have to consider that Connery is heavier and more wider than Ford making him look bigger. Possibly more than 1 inch between them perhaps. Connery in the late 80's when the film was made might have been 187-188cm. Ray says on 28/Nov/08
You can't judge from those photos. The last one is the only one you can see their feet and (1) they're on a beach, ie not flat. (2) Camera is favouring Sean. You could take other stills from that film where there is only 1" diff. Inconclusive for me... Hugh says on 27/Nov/08
Connery was more than an inch taller than Ford. More like 2 inches taller. So if Ford is under 6ft1. Say 184cm. That still Connery 6ft2. James says on 27/Nov/08
Okay Hugh next to Ford in the Last Crusade he did look 6ft2 I will admit that, but then again was ford slightly under 6ft1 back in 1989? Lenad says on 26/Nov/08
Nothing below 187cm in his prime. Likely 188cm like this site has him at. Hugh says on 26/Nov/08
If he's under 6ft2 then other actors on this site should be downgraded. Hugh says on 26/Nov/08
I he's under 6ft2 then other actors on this site should be downgraded. Nicole says on 26/Nov/08
I say today strong 184cm and peak 187cm. James says on 26/Nov/08
Yeah maybe a strong 6ft1.5. Lenad says on 26/Nov/08
Today easily 6ft1 if not more and back then easily 6ft1.5 if not more Lenad says on 25/Nov/08
6'1 1/2 is a possibilty for Sean Connery at his prime. Just nothing under that. James says on 25/Nov/08
More 6ft1 today for Sean Connery. adam says on 25/Nov/08
Connery isn`t 6-2 anymore, that`s obvious. But I`d say he is still around 6-1. Definitely more than six feet and he was a strong 6-2 peak. Hugh says on 24/Nov/08
I wouldn't rule that out either. Ed(1) says on 24/Nov/08
Really Hugh... you don't think at 78 years old he has lost any height? I don't doubt he could've been a strong 6ft1.5-6ft2 in his youth, and maybe in the 6ft1-6ft1.5 range during the 80's, but I highly doubt he's 6ft2 today! I'd guess he's somewhere in the range of 6ft0.5 today. adam says on 24/Nov/08
In FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE Connery has three inches on Robert Shaw who was wearing lifts! Shaw was 5-10 and he boosted his height with lifts and Connery was still clearly taller.
In GOLDFINGER Connery is taller than Gert Frobe who was 6-1. James says on 23/Nov/08
Well if Connery is still 6ft2 then Harrison Ford must be 184cm currently Hugh says on 23/Nov/08
I think he's still 6ft2. but that's the MAX. 189cm peak. If he's below 6ft2 now then we would need to downgrade a few other celebs. adam says on 23/Nov/08
Correct Ed and Mister Lennon. He was no doubts clearly a tall man in his heyday. He could have been over 6-2, no questions about that. James says on 22/Nov/08
Ed I think realisticly he's only lost 1-2cm in height. Mister Lennon says on 22/Nov/08
Dudes, its impossible that he could be 6' today. He is taller than Jim Carrey,he was taller than Kevin COstner and Harrison Ford and Nicholas Cage, he was the same than Gene Hackman, he was taller than Michael Caine and Roger Moore and still is. Its totally impossible that he is 6'. He was 6'2 and a half at peak or close , and now he is 6'2 or close. Ed(1) says on 22/Nov/08
From Russia with Love(1963) was on TV the other night, and Connery did look a legit 6ft1.5-6ft2 in that film. In the very beginning he's walking around barefoot by a lake, and he still comes across as a very tall man. I could see him as 6ft2 in the 1960's, 6ft1.5 in the 1970's, 6ft1 by the 1980's-mid 90's, and around 6ft0.5 by the 00's. Today he could very well be 6ft flat, and we have some confirmation of that with Frank2's 1999 sighting. The man is 78 now, so a 1.5-2" height loss is not unthinkable! James says on 22/Nov/08
No Connery is quite a lot taller than 180cm today, at peak Connery looked like a man who was in the 6ft1 range 187-188cm tops. Hugh says on 22/Nov/08
adam says on 21/Nov/08
Viper, you are a worthless man who has an obsession of making everbody shorter than what they really are.
Thank you adam, I couldn't agree more.
Anyway Connery was a strong 6ft2 at his peak and is 6ft2 flat nowadays. BruceWayne says on 21/Nov/08
I don't believe that Connery said he was 6'1.5. But even if he had done so, it seems likely that this was an intentional understatement. I think, in his generation, he was too tall for an actor, I remember the Bond producers didn't want to take him because he looked too tall. Since he proved to be taller than Moore I stick to 6'2.5 barefoot in his prime (in my opinion in the very late evening). 6ft for him is absolutely ridiculous. Christian Bale seems to be a well-accepted 6ft-man here. It's obvious that he is by far shorter than the young Connery. Nicole says on 21/Nov/08
Think Ford is today max.180cm not more. Mister Lennon says on 21/Nov/08
the 6´feet thing is absolutely laughable. And, in you only live twice , Connery looked sometimes shorter than Gray, sometimes Taller. They were about the same. Watch diamonds are forever, they both looked the same if not Connery a little taller. I dont belive that thing about the taylor's measurements. That is internet gossip.
I see very clear that Connery looked 6'2 in his movies, and a little more when he was younger. If he were 6 or 6'1, how on hell he could be taller than jim carrey, look the same than Gene Hackman, and look clearly taller than Kevin Costner and Harrison Ford??? adam says on 21/Nov/08
Viper, you are a worthless man who has an obsession of making everybody shorter than what they really are.
Yes, Sean has claimed only 6-1˝ but was he taller? Very likely. He was measured over 6-2 in his bodybuilding days and that was a barefoot measurement, right? In his old films he looks to be around 6-2, sometimes a little less than that -sometimes a little more than that.
He was minimum 6-1˝ peak and very possibly more. James says on 21/Nov/08
Yeah next to Ford he looks taller than 6ft Lenad says on 21/Nov/08
Actually if Connery looked slightly shorter than Charles Gray who is listed at 6'2 but could be a little less. There are some evidence that makes Frank2 6foot encounter believable but he seriously looks more than that. Viper says on 20/Nov/08
Connery is, was, still could be 6-1 1/2 max. James says on 20/Nov/08
Frank2 said he met him in 1999 and he only looked 6ft to him back then. adam says on 20/Nov/08
In YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE Connery really looked slightly shorter than Charles Gray who is listed as 6-2. Could Gray be taller? Possibly. He wasnt a famous actor so his height isn´t possibly accurate. Hugh says on 20/Nov/08
Well I met him and the guy was a shade over 6ft2. Ray says on 20/Nov/08
Well I remember clearly on Jay Leno. He said he was 6'1.5" depending on the state of his shoe leather. So by this time (mid '90's) he must have been below the 6'1" mark (~6'0.5" + 1" for shoes). The other quote saying he was 6'2" and then retracting it is from the website freewebs.com/jamesbond007heights/
Also I just saw a photo of Sean and Claudine Auger (5'8") in Thunderball both barefoot and there was only at most 5" diff. Its on I M D B. Lenad says on 20/Nov/08
You know Ray I just searched several sites and not one had Connery saying he was 6'1.5. Not even in the 90s I couldnt find anything on him saying '6'1.5 depending on the state of my shoe leather'. The only thing saying he was measured at 6'1 1/2 without shoes was claimed by the tailors but never proved. The internet is full of untruths. 6'1.5 is a possibility for him at his peak but I wouldnt go less than that. I agree with Rob he is 186cm nowadays. Hugh says on 19/Nov/08
In some early films he gave the illusion of 6ft3. He clearly wasn't that tall ever. But 189cm seems closer to the truth. James says on 19/Nov/08
He never really looked 6ft3 in all honesty Ray says on 19/Nov/08
Ok guys explain to me why he would say when asked about his height during his Bond days, that he is "6 feet 2 inches, well ok, actually about 6 feet 1 and a half inches really." I think that proves he knew his height accurately. That's what I'm defending my argument on and also visual evidence and Bond tailor measurements also verified by Eon. Lenad says on 19/Nov/08
Okay 6'1 is too low for him in his prime I will admit that. He did give the impression of a solid 6'2 if not a bit more back then. I wouldnt go as high as 6'3 though. BruceWayne says on 18/Nov/08
I agree with that, Hugh. Connery was solid 189cm barefoot. James says on 18/Nov/08
Its just that in From Russia with Love in some scenes he really didn't look that much over 6feet. Hugh says on 18/Nov/08
I'd say Caine was 188cm peak and Connery was 189cm peak. Mister Lennon says on 18/Nov/08
Dude Ray, Connery looked a very strong 6'2 in his younger days. Look the bond movies, he was towering over everyone. He was pretty tall. Even in his old days, he was pretty tall. Look at the untouchables, one inch or maybe more taller than 6'1 Kevin Costner. Looking the same than 6'2 Gene Hakman in a bridge too far. And now, taller than 6'1 and a half jim carrey. He was at least 6'2 or more and now, 6'2 or close. I think that you are the one who should judge better the heights.
Caine was always a little shorter than Connery. He was about 6'1 and a half or even a little shorter in his prime. Now, a strong 6, close to 6'1. Ray says on 18/Nov/08
Caine was shorter than Connery by 1/2 inch. 186cm is the very most I would give for Caine at peak. James says on 18/Nov/08
No I would say Michal Caine was 187cm at peak and Connery was the same. Ray says on 18/Nov/08
No chance. He was 6'1.5" prime. Michael Caine was never 6'2". There's a photo of him with John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart and few others and he is at least 2" shorter than Jimmy Stewart (6'3" at the time). Caine in his prime was 6'1" so was Roger Moore. Connery never gave an impression of anything over what he was 6'1.5". I think you need to review the heights of others you're judging him against. Mister Lennon says on 17/Nov/08
I think that he was a little over 6'2 in his prime. He was always a little taller than Michael Caine and an inch taller or so than Roger Moore. Today he is 6'2 or very close to 6'2. James says on 17/Nov/08
Its just that in Russia with Love he struck me as more of a tallish type of a guy in the 6ft1 range. BruceWayne says on 16/Nov/08
I cannot agree with that. Both in From Russia with love and in Thunderball he towers over most people, and he usually wears flat shoes. If he does not stand next to someone one could think 6'1.5, but seeing him next to others it's clear that he was easily 6'2.5, if not more. He's probably more than one inch taller than Roger. James says on 15/Nov/08
I would honestly 6ft1 flat (185cm) is a bit low for him at peak, I would say 187cm is good for him during his James Bond years. In fact both him and Michael Caine were probably 6ft1.5 back then. Nicole says on 15/Nov/08
Was looking thunderball with my friends yesterday. And they said all together when the barefoot scenes are with sean that sean was a strong 187cm then but not over that. Lenad says on 14/Nov/08
In Russia with Love he looked a strong 6'1 if not a bit more. Yes more 6'1 than 6'2 but regardless Sean was obviously a tall man. Hugh says on 14/Nov/08
I'm sticking to 6ft2.5. James says on 14/Nov/08
In fact I would go as far as saying at times he looked a flat 6ft1 in that movie. Nicole says on 14/Nov/08
Yes, James.That`s true. Saw the film the last week. Funny my girlfriend sarah said then the same like you. James says on 13/Nov/08
Also he did not look that much over 6ft1 in Russia with Love James says on 12/Nov/08
6ft2 or 6ft1.5 at peak fits for me. Today I think he is 186cm perhaps? anonymous says on 11/Nov/08
In league of extraordinary gentlemen he doesnt look that tall. 6 foot 2 seems right. BruceWayne says on 11/Nov/08
You should notice that he looked an inch taller than Kostner (6'1) while he was an old man (Untouchables), or at least in an age in which he probably lost some height. 6'2 as old man, he could have easily been 6'2.5 in his twenties. Hugh says on 11/Nov/08
Josh Ford is 5ft11.75 these days. Costner is definately 6ft1 though. I think 6ft2 flat these days. Josh says on 11/Nov/08
A definite 6ft 2 or a bit over for connery as he looked a good inch or so taller than harrison ford and kevin costner who are both around 6ft 1. James says on 11/Nov/08
Connery never looked like a bodybuilder to me sure he came across as tough but not huge muscles like a lot of bodbuilders tend to have. Ray says on 11/Nov/08
Hugh, put Hasselhoff, Neeson and Goldblum in their barefeet and Connery in normal heeled shoes. Are you telling me he would be the same height ? Get real buddy ! The very most I can accept for Connery in his prime is 6'1 2/3" (187 cm). I don't know where this body building height came from cos I can't find any reference to it anywhere. Connery, however did say himself he was 6'1.5" in his prime. Every film I have seen him in he hasn't looked any more than this. Until you can come up with documented evidence to say otherwise then that was his height. James says on 10/Nov/08
sometimes i wonder if he really was 189cm? Hugh says on 10/Nov/08
Aswell. Connery always did always look taller than Michhael Caine. So there is a fair chance this guy was near 6ft3. 189cm I have no problem beleiving for this guy peak. James says on 8/Nov/08
Well Hugh if there is written evidense that he was measured at that height in his bodybuiling days? Hugh says on 7/Nov/08
Rob how about 6ft2.5 peak. James says on 7/Nov/08
Why did u downgrade him slightly rob?
[Editor Rob: I can't remember now, maybe 6ft 2 is best just now.] BruceWayne says on 6/Nov/08
As far as I remember he once said 6'2.5. And the Bond producers first did not want to engage him as Bond because he looked like an oversized stuntman. And there are tons of pictures in which he is clearly taller than Roger Moore. If Moore was 6'1.5, 6'2.5 for Connery is the least measurement (barefoot). Elf says on 6/Nov/08
To BK_Daniel. Connery has always looked thicker set than Eastwood. Isn't hard to imagine a 15lb difference if Eastwood is 205 and Connery 220. Elf says on 6/Nov/08
To BK_Daniel. Connery has always looked thicker set than Eastwood. Isn't hard to imagine a 15lb difference if Eastwood is 205 and Connery 200. Hugh says on 6/Nov/08
Rob, has Connery always been 6ft2 on this site or has he been listed a little more.
[Editor Rob: I gave him a 1/4 inch over 6ft 2 one time.] James says on 6/Nov/08
Yeah I am with you Hugh Hugh says on 6/Nov/08
And was measured 6ft2.5 barefoot when bodybuilding. Ray says on 6/Nov/08
I agree Viper. Al the evidence points to 6'1.5".
1. He was measured by Bond tailors at 6'1.5"
2. Eon (Bond producers) verified this measurement.
3. He himself said he was 6'1.5"
I don't understand why there is this debate when there's this documented evidence. Viper says on 6/Nov/08
He was measured at 6-1 1/2 by the Bond tailors. 6-1 1/2 barefoot and 6-2.4 in shoes makes the most sense. BruceWayne says on 5/Nov/08
I also think he easily was 6'2.4 without shoes in his prime. It's strange but Connery does not look really tall even though he is or was it. Roger Moore often looks really tall but he is definitely shorter than Connery. RisingForce says on 4/Nov/08
Why would they measure him in sneakers? They only do that in basketball. Body builders were usually seen barefoot anyway. I highly doubt he was measured in shoes especially if the measurement was in centimeters. Ray says on 4/Nov/08
RisingForce, the reason it says 6ft2.4 is because that's exactly 189 cm. They measure in cm for the body building contests. This was converted to 6ft2.4.
I still believe that was a height in sneakers. In the U.S. they seem to always measure height in shoes. AAAA says on 3/Nov/08
I've read 215 for connery, but that could have been younger when he was bodybuilding, and then later as he got older. In his Goldfinger days, I would guess him to have been around 190lbs James says on 3/Nov/08
I would say today there would be 1.5 or 2 inches between Connery and Clancy Brown maybe? Ray says on 3/Nov/08
Yeah, when he was in his prime. Hugh says on 2/Nov/08
Actually I think Connery could be 189cm out of bed. Hugh says on 1/Nov/08
James, I'd say these days Clancy Brown and Connery would be pretty close in height. Brown had back surgery a while back taking away an inch or so. Lenad says on 1/Nov/08
Hugh says on 20/0ct/08
6ft0.5 is laughable.
6'0 1/2 is laughable for his peak height I will admit that. RisingForce says on 31/Oct/08
I think 6'2.4" peak and roughly 6'1" now, maybe 6'1.25". James says on 29/Oct/08
I used to think maybe Sean Connery was 6ft3, but I was always skeptical of him being as tall as 191cm. RisingForce says on 29/Oct/08
He really did seem 6'2.4" when he was younger, besides that seems like an oddly precise figure to fabricate. If Rob thinks he looks 186 cm now then maybe Sean should be given a peak height? I mean he is 78 years old. James says on 29/Oct/08
Yeah its not like this guy is really out of the limelight. RisingForce says on 28/Oct/08
Why not give Sean 6'2.4" peak and 6'1.25" for his current height? James says on 25/Oct/08
Clancy Brown is a very tall guy at least 6ft3 at peak. Lenad says on 24/Oct/08
In that scene in Highlander were he is getting his arse kicked by Clancy Brown, Brown was a good few inches taller. BK_Daniel says on 24/Oct/08
Just finding out that Connery has never been 6'3" I was wondering if anyone knows his weight. It's just that I've read he's 220 lbs but that doesn't seem right because Clint Eastwood is 205 lbs. Also if Clint was Sean's height his weight with that body type would be about 10 pounds less. I don't see connery being 25 lbs more muscular than Clint Eastwood. James says on 24/Oct/08
Well guys at the end of the day Sean Connery was measured in bodybuilding as 6ft2.4 (189cm) that possibly was his peak height. Also even at his old age he looks taller than Jim Carrey in a recent photo.
Hugh yes I would say in the Last Crusade Sean Connery was 6ft2 (back in the late 80's he probably already lost a cm from his peak height of 6ft2.5)and Harrison Ford was a weak 6ft1 in that movie because his injuries from the Temple of Doom might have caused a slight height loss! Hugh says on 24/Oct/08
Ford could've easily have been 6ft1 at that time seeming he was only in his 40's. Connery could still have been 188-189cm. Today Connery is still 6ft2 flat or 6ft1.5 at the lowest. Ford I'll agree has lost a considerable amount of height due to injuries over the years and his age, now standing a shade under 6ft. Hugh says on 24/Oct/08
Or James Connery was bang on 6ft2 at that time and has been ever since. Will shrink eventually. Ray says on 24/Oct/08
I think in The Last Crusade. Connery was 6'1.25" (186 cm) and Ford was a weak 6' (182.5 cm). So I'd say Connery was down quarter inch from a strong 6'1.5" ( 187 cm) in his youth. He was 58 when Last Crusade was filmed. James says on 23/Oct/08
Ok I think in the Last Crusade Sean Connery was 187-188cm and Harrison Ford just about 184cm. The film is 20 years old remember. |
