The thing is Brosnan at 6'1.25" and Dalton at 6'1.75" is a joke. Check out the 3 Bonds (Moore, Dalton and Brosnan) at klast.net. Dalton has 2-3 inches on Brosnan.
Shaun says on 20/Mar/10
Rob. I'm confused at your listing here. Clint Eastwood and Connery are the same age yet Connery is still half an inch taller than what he was measured at by the Bond tailors in his prime in the 1960s and what he claimed but Eastwood has lost 3.5 inches? Connery was also a bodybuilder. I don't understand why you have him at 6'2" when you have all of the other Bonds listed at their exact tailor measurements. And it is common knowledge that TImothy Dalton was the tallest of the Bonds. So why do you still have him at 6'2"? Shaun says on 14/Mar/10
Just been watching Thunderball. I noticed 5'8" Claudine Auger was only 1-2 inches shorter than Connery in heels. Also when they walk up the beach barefoot he doesn't really look 6 inches taller. Connery also looked 2-3 inches shorter than 6'4" Rik Van Nutter. I think Connery was exactly as he says he was 6'1.5". Mamun says on 4/Mar/10
I don't know if these very rare pictures of Sean Connery had been posted
before or not but they sure are interesting !

Sean connery was 6'1" at minimum ! Aleks says on 21/Feb/10
Strong 6'1" at peak. Old men says on 19/Feb/10
Frank 2 is right,Sean was in his younger day 6ft1.5inch not over that.
Hugh, you never saw this men, but Frank 2 saw him and has this prove.
By the way Hugh,repeating the same is not the way to find the true, it`s only stupid and a sign for limited thinking from your side. Hugh (191cm/252lbs) says on 14/Feb/10
okay okay. Is this reasonable
6ft 2.5 peak and 6ft 1.75 now?
Thats 0.75 inch lost. Hes still in good shape today at 79 years old and maintains good posture. Shaun says on 12/Feb/10
Jason, google Connery Harrison Ford afi. Connery has 1.5 inches on 6' Harrison Ford still. Brosnan also has 1.5 inches on Ford so Brosnan and Connery are now the same height, 6'1.5" in my book. Shaun says on 12/Feb/10
Jason, see the recent pics of Connery with Harrison ford. 6' flat is a joke for Connery otherwise Ford is 5'10" and Brad Pitt a weak 5'8". Connery still looks a strong 6'1". jason says on 6/Feb/10
About 4cm smaller than peak. So today strong 183cm and peak strong 187cm. adam2 says on 23/Jan/10
Sean was never taller than 6-2. He is and was an imposing man. Long legs, broad shoulders, big hands, thick neck, good posture, solid walk. That made him look taller. ralf says on 15/Jan/10
And once again a proof from you how you debatt with another, Hugh.
Really said, no facts only hot air. ralf says on 14/Jan/10
I`m also a fan of sean connery, naturally i have by the way the bond collection.
But even in private life i want the true with facts.
Ray, that is a good example with the measurements coming from your doctor.
I remember me when i must take my sister to the hospital in the past, then the doctor there meassured her 171cm, but one month ago she was meassured only 168cm from the specialist.Her height is 168cm.Big differences. Hugh 190-192cm says on 14/Jan/10
Ralf your such an idiot. Connery is bending his legs a good bit and Depp is wearing what appears to be lifts. And Depp is no less than 5"9. Ray says on 14/Jan/10
PatB: As I mentioned previously, 6'2.4" is exactly 189 cm. So the 0.4" is meaningless as I believe the measurement was converted into feet and inches from centimetres. Connery may have been measured at some point in his youth at 189 cm (incidentally, I was measured at 188 cm and 189 cm in a doctor's office when in fact my height is 185 cm) but he has mentioned his height as being 6'1.5". Eon released his height as 6'1" during his bond days and the bond tailors said 6'1.5".
And Hugh, I don't dislike Connery, I am a huge fan of him and have many of his films on DVD. PatB says on 13/Jan/10
I remember an article in Psychology Today about forty years ago that said that the ideal height was 6'2". The methodology was to send men into job interviews. Those at 6'2" did best - better than the taller men and better than the shorter men. You are not compeled to believe this finding published in a magazine that was little better than The National Enquirer, but it sounds plausible.
I think most male movie stars wish to be around 6'2". Really big guys like Clint Walker tried to be shorter. Cruise, Pacino, and Downey try to be taller.
Connery it would seem was just about ideal. I very much doubt if he manufacturered that extra 0.4". Tall enough guys just don't bother to squeeze out the last smidgen of height. ralf says on 12/Jan/10
Hey, ``little Hugh``, get a look to Mr. Connery with Johnny Depp on the photos. This man in your opinion is today in the 188cm range. Johnny is maybe 174cm max. barfooted.And both men are never even with shoes in this range.So, explain me clearly with facts your posts, then we could speak seriously. Hugh 190-192cm says on 10/Jan/10
I can't beleive your calling me a clown, Rick. Who the hell are you? Connery was measured at 6"2.4 during his brief stint as a bodybuilder. Those bodybuilders were and still are measured accurately and of course barefoot.
Ray, Rick and monique are downgrading Sean's height because they dislike the guy.
You guys are pathetic. monique says on 7/Jan/10
With the same method like Rob shows it in different pics.The 186cm measurement was at morning 9am. The 185cm at 4pm.Other facts,Shoe size 42,with 68kg a bit too much. Gerald says on 6/Jan/10
How were you mismeasured at the doctors office monique says on 6/Jan/10
It`s okay:-).
Funny, but my doctors measured me once 185cm and the other time 186cm last November, but i`m 184cm actually, hmm but sometimes too much for men:-(. Ray says on 5/Jan/10
Thanks Monique for your support ;-)
An interesting tid-bit from the Canadian bodybuilder Vince Basile
"Typically, although many bodybuilding contests used to (and still do) have height categories for competitions, there was no 'strict' measuring process by which a bodybuilder's height category was decided. Instead the bodybuilders were trusted to enter the correct height catagory that their genuine heights fell into. It should be noted that in general, the 'tall' category has usually been for heights over 5'9", which was the category Arnold was always entered".
This quote shows that height measurements are not taken for competition so that 6'2.4" measurement for Connery is essentially fictitious as far as I'm concerned. He may not have measured himself accurately back then and entered 6'2.4". And for those who might argue that 6'2.4" sounds like a pretty exact measurement, well 6'2.4" is exactly 189 cm. The measurement was probably taken in centimetres and converted to feet and inches.
I was measured at the doctors on two occasions as 188 cm and 189 cm. My height is actually 185 cm. (187 cm out of bed and 185 cm at night). So this shows how much out a measurement can be. monique says on 4/Jan/10
I must say ray, ralf, colo, frank 2 and rick are all right.This man is today max.182cm and old.But it gives people who don`t see the reality. Let them their dreams:-) Milosss says on 2/Jan/10
Miles O'Keeffe was one inch taller than Connery in "Sword of the Valiant" .
Miles is 6'3'', so Sean is 6'2''. COLO says on 2/Jan/10
Ok lets say 175 jhonny deep is using 7cm elevators, then he would be 1.82 and thats make sean 1.83, happy new year! Spence says on 2/Jan/10
Anything under 6'2 peak is a complete joke RisingForce says on 2/Jan/10
COLO says on 18/Dec/09
He seems to be smaller, look at this picture next to 5.8 jhonny deep. Click Here
Depp is in the 5'9"-5'10" range and he was wearing obvious elevator shoes. Click Here rick says on 2/Jan/10
Rob,you are also a person who makes it exactly like Frank2.Go on like that. rick says on 2/Jan/10
I follow this site since a long time.The man who really saw Mr.Connery was Frank2 and he said Mr.Connery was 6ft1inch not more.The others like Hugh are Clowns who see every celebrity one inch or more higher than they really are and debat about that.....
I see him peak 6ft1.5inch. Hugh 190-192cm says on 31/Dec/09
6"2 solid and 215lbs Hugh 190-192cm says on 31/Dec/09
Bang on Spence. 6"2.5 peak and 6"1.75 or even 6"2 now. And me and Spence are not the same person Spence says on 30/Dec/09
This 6'1.5 BS has to end...he looks an inch and a half taller than 6'1 Gert Frobe in Goldfinger. He was 189 at peak today is slightly below 6'2 Hugh 190-192cm says on 30/Dec/09
Ray, it depends on the individuals health. Someone like Harrison Ford has lost close 2 inches because of all the injuries he has sustained from stunt work over the years. Connery is a much different example. Yes he is nearing 80. But he is very active for his age and also has very good posture. Hes kept himself in great shape over the years so its likely hes lost barely any height.
And clearly you havent read the above statement that says that he measured 6"2.4 in his prime when he was in bodybuilding. Mister Lennon says on 30/Dec/09
But he looked 6'2 at prime, even a little more. He was the same height or taller than people in the 6'2 range. Plus, now, he is still a little bit taller than Jim Carrey, who is a 6'1 and a half guy minimun. So i think that he was 6'2 and a half at peak and now probably a little bit under the 6'2 mark.
Not all the people growing old the same. Gregory Peck or Jimmy Stewart were almost as tall in their 70s and 80s as they were at peak. Ray says on 30/Dec/09
Hugh, you go on like you've met the guy and see him regularly. If you know anything about the human body and how it ages then you would realise that after about 50 you shrink about 1/2" per decade [FACT]. Some people lose more height than others.
Connery stated his height as 6'1.5". I don't understand why you don't accept that. He was also measured by the bond tailors as 6'1.5". Also, EON, the bond producers stated his height as 6'1". He is nearly 80 so its very possible he has lost 2" in height. Even if he has lost only half that it still puts him around the 6' mark. If he's 6'2" now then he must have been nearly 6'4" in his prime...LOL.
I feel like a broken record having to put these facts before you every so often. Hugh 190-192cm says on 29/Dec/09
Connery is still a genuinely tall man. I never would have thought that during the period of this sites existance that there would be people as ignorant as Ray and Ralf insisting that he's under 6"0!
It may be possible that he may be marginally shorter than 6"2 like 6"1.5 or 6"1.75. But then he may still be 6"2. It's definately possible that this man may have peaked near 6"3. JAB says on 28/Dec/09
I met Mr. Connery on two occasions. Once in the Bahamas where he has a home at his favorite restaurant, Graycliff and once he made an apprearance at a then Daimler Chrysler Car show I helped to organize. I am just under 6'2" and we stood pretty much even during his run through (sans toupee) and he was a smidge taller showtime when his toupee was similar to Red October and gave him the edge. Big hands, broad shoulders. Hugh 190-192cm says on 28/Dec/09
I think Connery is 188cm and Carrey 187cm. As of today they are both similiar in height
Happy new year Lenad says on 28/Dec/09
If he's 182cm then Jim Carrey is only 181cm which is just BS. Connery is probably a solid 186cm now and solid 188cm peak. Hugh 191cm says on 23/Dec/09
182cm is just ignorant. The man is clearly much taller than that Hugh 191cm says on 23/Dec/09
Johnny Depp is 5"9 Hugh 191cm says on 23/Dec/09
182cm?! The Ben says on 21/Dec/09
The Depp pic you cant see footwear or even if the grounds level, its not an accurate reprisentation in any way..
I doubt connery is below 6ft today. Ray says on 21/Dec/09
Maybe they put Depp on a box there ;-), but that photo is pretty conclusive that Connery is nowhere near 6'2" today or at anytime. He's nearly 80 and is probably hovering around the 6' mark...and maybe slightly under. I agree with ralf, probably 182 cm today. ralf says on 21/Dec/09
Exactly,Colo. Good photo.This man was never over 6ft1.5inch barefoot peak height.Johnny is around 5ft7inch barefoot not over and Sean is max 182cm today but don`t look it here in this photo.A lot of celebs are smaller in reality,that is a fact. COLO says on 18/Dec/09
He seems to be smaller, look at this picture next to 5.8 jhonny deep. Click Here 191cm is Royalty says on 12/Dec/09
He looked a solid 6ft 2 in Goldfinger. rob roy says on 8/Dec/09
he is one of my favorite "james bond" hero. so does roger moore. they're suave; reserved and cool. but daniel craig and pierce brosnan are just as cool like their predecessors. but recently "james bond" films didn't make that good in the top ten billboard i wonder why. The Voice of Reason says on 7/Dec/09
I think Connery was more like 1.5" or 2" taller than Gert Frobe. He also looked to be the same as Charles Gray in Diamonds Are Forever, which would put Connery at or about 6'2" Spence says on 6/Dec/09
Warren Gert was 6'1 ...where are you getting 6'0.5 from I want evidence
He claimed 6'1.25 and he looks every bit of 6'1 in Goldfinger. Sean has always been 6'2 at peak maybe slightly above warren says on 5/Dec/09
Gert was 6f0.5inch and not over that. Sean was 1inch taller than him by the way. Hugh 191cm says on 4/Dec/09
Gert Frobe I think was a little over 6ft 1in like 186cm so that would definately put Connery between 6ft 2in and 6ft 3in which he looked. Spence says on 30/Nov/09
Anything less than 6'2 is laughable.
He looks an inch taller than solid 6'1 Gert Frobe in Goldfinger. You people need to watch it again. Connery looks 188-89 in it easily. Mel says on 27/Nov/09
You are on your on planet, man.
Sean is a tall guy but not over 188cm peak. Hugh 191cm says on 25/Nov/09
Seemed close to 6ft 3in at times
Peak height was 6ft 2.5in (189cm) walter says on 25/Nov/09
I`m huge Sean connery fan till i was fifteen years old. Now i`m seventy and saw all his films and no doubt, he was barefoot peak height 6ft1.5inch.Not myself but a good friend had the pleasure to meet him at that time after goldfinger and said Sean was the same height like him 6ft1.5inch. Gonzalo says on 23/Nov/09
Here is a video about what peteyork says on november 1st
Click Here
Connery, Caine, Moore and Kline look very similar in height courtney says on 22/Nov/09
Yes that is also my opinion, Harry Lime, Sean was 6ft1.75.
Atkinson is cleary under 6ft. Oh yes Mr. Hugh today Mr. Connery is clearly 6ft2inch.But Mr. one post in one day, you need really a doctor. Every time this boring posts from you. Hugh 190cm says on 21/Nov/09
To be fair I think Atkinson is near 6ft. He just has bad posture. Connery is still around 6ft2 these days. Harry Lime says on 20/Nov/09
Well Im now watching THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY and Donald Sutherland is looking a good two inches taller than Connery. Donald might have been near six-foot-four but no taller. I believe that Sean was hair under 6-2 prime. Ray says on 19/Nov/09
Except Rowan Atkinson is not 6'. He's 5'11" Z man says on 18/Nov/09
Connery was no more than 1 inch taller than Rowan Atkinson in NSNA.Connery was 53, so he hadn't lost much height @ that stage.Atkinson is 6-0.Z man Anonymous says on 16/Nov/09
In a bridge too far there was a scene where he is eye to eye with gene hackman who was also around 6ft 2. Im going with 6ft 1 in half for connery. His 6ft 2.4 measurement was probarbly in atleast an inch footwear. Ray says on 16/Nov/09
Peteyork: I can't find a clip of that show but I taped it back in '95 and I saw the interview a couple of times and remember him saying "6'1.5" depending on the state of my shoe leather". That would put him at about 6'0.75 - 6'1" at the time barefoot. He was 65 at the time so 6'1.5" peak height in his Bond days sounds correct. It is also documented that when he was asked about his height at the height of Bond mania in the '60's what his height was and he replied "6 feet 2 inches, well ok, actually about 6 feet 1 and a half inches really". Shaun says on 14/Nov/09
Timothy Dalton is taller than 6'1". He was measured 6'1.75" midday. Dalton is pretty much 6'2" and was the tallest of the Bonds according to the tailors. Connery measured 6'1.5" and this is what he claimed. peteyork says on 13/Nov/09
Can anybodt state side find the link of connery on jay leno saying he was 6ft 1 and 1/2. I can not find a link in the UK. Rob said there was only a quote not a link to the interview. it is bugging me as I have seen the interview. old man says on 9/Nov/09
Here all the barefoot heights based on personal experience (i met those men all often in the past: Sean Connery 6ft1.5inch,George Lazenby 6ft1inch, Timothy Dalton 6ft1inch,Roger Moore 6ft,Pierce Brosnan 6ft,Daniel Craig 5ft9.5inch,Michael Caine 6ft1inch. ralf says on 2/Nov/09
I think the most of us make the actors taller than they really are.Also in real life when you meet friends.I`m myself 6ft tall barefoot, but all my collegs tend to say that i`m a strong 6ft1inch man. But that`s not the case.And with my cowboyboots i`m 2inches taller so 6ft 2inch. RisingForce says on 1/Nov/09
Connery was in his late 50's by 1988, losing a little bit of height is not uncommon at that age. And I'd still like to a reliable article or video not on a fan made site. peteyork says on 1/Nov/09
1988 at the Oscars, moore, connery and caine are all on stage together. Caine is 1/2 inch to inch taller than connery and moore, who look the same size. Connery was 58 at the time so maybe not peak height. None of them are the type to wear lifts, so taking into account foot leather they are within an inch of each other. The bond tailors have Connery at 6ft 1 1/2 inches, which he has also stated as his height. tailors ask you to relax when they measure you, so all the bonds could be 1/2 inch taller. i still think rob should list him as his stated height given he is a tall guy i can not see why he would lie. Hugh 191cm says on 30/Oct/09
indeed Shaun Shaun says on 27/Oct/09
Now 187cm for Brosnan IS correct. Hugh 191cm says on 25/Oct/09
Brosnan I'm pretty sure is still 187cm. Hugh 191cm says on 22/Oct/09
Moore 6ft1.5, Brosnan 6ft1.75, Connery 6ft2.5, Lazenby 6ft2, Dalton 6ft2.25, and Craig 5ft10.75 g says on 20/Oct/09
Connery just always looked around 6ft2-6ft2.75, just check Thunderball, he's no 6 foot, he's clearly taller (he looked between 188cm-190) not more, not less imo.
Then Lazenby, Lazenby look at that chair scene in OHMSS, he looked there 6'3, minus the inch from the shoes, he's around 6'2. And also the other scenes, he always looks about 6'2, not less, not (much)more.
Then Moore, Moore was smaller than Connery and Lazenby, Moore always looked like 6 or 6'1. I think Moore was around 184cm, not (much)more, certainly not less.
Dalton didn't even look that tall in his bond movies, but when I see him in pictures/movies on the internet, he certainly is 6ft. 175 or 6'2 not much less.
Then Brosnan, he's also quite a tall guy, Brosnan looked a 6'1, maybe 6.1.5, he was 185cm or 186cm, not 187 or 188cm.
Craig is smaller, around 178cm. apo says on 20/Oct/09
in untouchables he's taller than costner who's definitely around 6'1, in fact I've never seen a film where he looks shorter than legitimate 6'1 guys..
harrison ford was also close to 6'1 in 90's even with the back problems Lebensdorf says on 20/Oct/09
Sean Connery is an epic actor, so we can easily imagine him to be a massive figure. His presence has always been suggestive of a man with a great stature. I think, in his youth, he was probably six foot one and a half (his official measurement by tailors when he was playing James Bond), and, now in his old age, he is probably around six feet. This is not much of a travesty in height loss for a man of advancing years. He may have been a little taller than the aforementioned measurement (depending on various factors which could have impacted its accuracy), but I certainly would not place him above six foot two at any point in life.
Please keep in mind that, in his later career, he appeared to be around (or perhaps a bit under) the six foot one mark -- with Edward Fox in “The Russia House” and Kevin Costner in “The Untouchables.” I find this to be very significant. Next to Harrison Ford, who had lost height due to injury by 1989, Connery looked an inch or so taller in the Indian Jones film that year, which would probably place him at indeed around 6-1 at the time.
He is and always was a broad-shouldered and all around large man, but I would go with this measurement from the EON tailors (who have listed his successors as: 6-1.5 for Lazenby, 6-1 for Moore, 6-2 for Dalton, and 6-1 for Brosnan). lubee says on 19/Oct/09
Hugh 191cm says on 18/Oct/09
Thank you Spence. i've been trying to get my point across for months now. Brosnan is absolutely 187cm if not 0.5cm taller. Connery looks 188cm nowadays because he has great posture for 70 something year old. Peak definately 189cm. Maybe 190-191cm out of bed
why in the sam hill do you have these actor's 1 inch higher than what rob has them listed at? tell me, does it make u feel better? does it make you feel cool? Hugh 191cm says on 18/Oct/09
Thank you Spence. i've been trying to get my point across for months now. Brosnan is absolutely 187cm if not 0.5cm taller. Connery looks 188cm nowadays because he has great posture for 70 something year old. Peak definately 189cm. Maybe 190-191cm out of bed RisingForce says on 18/Oct/09
Are Hugh and Spence the same person? Original says on 15/Oct/09
Brosnan is 184 to 185.
Connery peak is 189, maybe 190 in 60'. now is 186. Spence says on 14/Oct/09
Jay in Goldfinger Connery looks an easy 188-89. 187 max is bull. Brosnan is 187 Hugh 191cm says on 13/Oct/09
6ft1.75 is bang on for Brosnan, Spence. jay says on 13/Oct/09
Frank 2 is right with his statement Sean was never over 187cm barefoot.That`s proof enough, because he works in this business and saw a lot of them eye to eye. Spence says on 6/Oct/09
In order:
Connery: 6'2.4 peak 189 cm, Now 6'1 184-85
Dalton: 6'2.25 peak 188 cm, Now 6'1.5 186-87
Lazenby: 6'2 even peak 188 cm, now 6'0.5 184 cm
Brosnan: 6'1.75 187 cm
Moore: 6'1.75 peak 187 cm, Now 6'0.5 184 cm
Craig: 5'10 to 5'10.25 178 cm Hugh 191cm says on 6/Oct/09
Looked 3.5 inches taller than Alec Baldwin in Hunt for Red October. Shaun says on 2/Oct/09
Granted . Connery can get cocky and quite ill mannered at times. There is an interview of him on youtube where he appears like he is trying to be clever and making the interviewer seem really dumb. A lot of people have reported that he is very rude and abrasive who've met him on the golf course and of course his neighbours.... Sam says on 1/Oct/09
Sean is 6 ft 1.5 these days Hugh 191cm says on 30/Sep/09
188cm now and 189cm peak. ralf says on 30/Sep/09
Sorry, but deano are you drunken? This man is about 184cm today and peak 187cm.
Keep realistic. Mike says on 29/Sep/09
Deano, don't talk crap.
He is not 5-8.
Even if not being 6-2, 5-8 is too short.
No way deano says on 27/Sep/09
he also could be 5 ft 8.4 but thats all. deano says on 27/Sep/09
hello everyone I can now confirm that in fact sean connery is 5 ft 7.9 inches
yep I saw him walking through bare foot in thunderball and I can tell you he was nomore than 5 ft 7.9 if your talking business then 6 ft 2.4 is fine but in real life sean connery is in fact only 5 ft 7.9 same applies to everyone else who is famous yes in fact they do add 6 and a half inches to height. Lenad says on 25/Sep/09
Carrey looked 6'1 max with bad posture. He looked barely taller than Kilmer and Jones when he had bad posture while they stood properly. Thats what I saw anyway Ron says on 23/Sep/09
I drank with the gent in Jersey CI, he is great human, ps I never made my work for two days, Thank you Sean (Tam) i'm proud your a Scot. God bless you and yours. Hugh 191cm says on 23/Sep/09
I'm no fan of Sean Connery. Frankly I can't stand the guy at times. Some of the stuff he says is inappropriate. He's a good actor, though. That's all I have to say. His height is a different story. I met him in 1998 and he was marginally shorter than me. one inch max. I'm 6ft3 barefoot, (I claim 6ft2.75). I'd have said at least 6ft2 and perhaps a little taller. He didn't look to be wearing lifts or dress shoes. That was 10 years ago so it's possible he has shrunk. I personally think he was 189cm in his prime and now is 188cm. But no taller. 6ft1 is too low. The lowest I can buy now is 187cm and could be off the mark. Shaun says on 23/Sep/09
What I don't understand is how Connery was measured 6'1.5" barefoot officially and this is what he has stated as his barefoot height all long. In shoes yes 189-190cm, 187 cm barefoot, he said himself. This 189cm-190cm barefoot talk from Hugh is fan boy cruft to say the least. If he was really this height barefoot he would have been officially the tallest Bond and he would have been 6'4" in shoes. He stood 6'3" max peak in footwear. Barefoot he was never near this. Today he is about 6'1". 6'2.5" in dress shoes is about right, not barefoot. Original says on 7/Sep/09
6'2.4" peak.
6'1.25" now.
My opinion. Hugh 191cm says on 5/Sep/09
I think he's still 6ft2. g says on 3/Sep/09
In Thunderball Sean looks a clear 6'2 Brad says on 27/Aug/09
6' 1" today and a smidge under 6' 3" peak. Mister Lennon says on 26/Aug/09
Ray, Connery was more than 6'2 at prime. He was towering everyone in his James Bond days. Only compare his height with other 6'2 guys or close. Taller than Michael Caine, the same than Gene Hackman, etc.
By the way, for Tommy Lee Jones. See the fugitive, he looked slightly taller than Harrison Ford, who was 6' at prime. He was taller than Jerome Krabbe, who was 6' at prime. See us marshalls. About 4 or 5 inches on Robert Downey Junior. See the premiere of not country for old men. Taller than both Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin, who are in the 5'11 or 6' range. Explain that. And not funny or tricky camera angles there. Ray says on 26/Aug/09
Mister Lennon: have you seen Under Siege ? Gary Busey who is about 6' maybe slightly under (182 cm) was about 1" taller than Tommy Lee Jones and TLJ was wearing his customary cowboy boots. Explain that. He was consistently taller throughout the film - no funny camera angles. By the way are you having a laugh...there is no way Connery is 6'2" these days. He was 6'1.5" in his prime (barefoot). Mister Lennon says on 25/Aug/09
Tommy Lee Jones is a solid 6' guy. He looks it and he is it.
Val Kilmer is probably close to 6' , but i think that he isnt a full 6'. Maybe a strong 5'11 dude. But he can looks 6' sometimes.
Carrey is 6'1 at least. In batman forever, yes, he looked the same than both Kilmer and Jones, but it could be some camera angles or tricky angles. Also, usually, Carrey has bad posture and Kilmer and Jones has excellent posture, so sometimes they could look very close in height.
Connery is still 6'2. Ray says on 24/Aug/09
Interesting you should say that Frank2. I can't really see Kilmer at 6'. He can't quite pull it off but I think Rob has him at that. Definitely Tommy Lee Jones is less than 6'...probably 5'10.5" - 5'11". Frank2 says on 22/Aug/09
Except Kilmer has always appeared to be my height when I've seen him in person which is 5'11". Ray says on 21/Aug/09
Just a point about Carrey. If you watch Batman Forever. There's a scene with Ed Begley Jr (6'3.5") and Carrey was at least 4 inches shorter. He was the same height as Val Kilmer (6'0")and the same height as Tommy Lee Jones (6'0" in cowboy boots). I know people are gonna eat me alive for this but 6'0" for Carrey is not totally out of the question. Look at the evidence in that film. Lenad says on 18/Aug/09
Even 184cm is too low for Connery these days. That means Carrey is 6ft0 at best which is just bull! g says on 17/Aug/09
Come on, look at how tall he looks in Thunderball, he is taller than 185cm Auric Goldfinger, so 188cm seems simply correct. ralf says on 10/Aug/09
Keep cool, Hugh. You don`t need to affront so me and others.
I respect you, but i have another opinion in those cases.
Read it exactly i never said peak height for Sean 184cm. Peak height i say 187cm.For Ford i think 180cm today and peak 183cm.Jim Carrey who is younger than Sean is slightly shorter than Sean 183,5cm today and around 185cm peak.
Pierce peak height 184,5cm and today 183cm. This all barefoot. Hugh 191cm says on 9/Aug/09
Ralf you are beginning to annoy me. If Connery is 184cm, Ford is 178cm at best, Caine isn't even 6ft, Nicolas Cage is 5ft10.5, Pierce Brosnan is 6ft and Jim carrey is 5ft11.5 which is bull! Either get your facts right or take a hike! ralf says on 6/Aug/09
Pictures with Kim Basinger height 170cm.

She comes under his eyes with her head so not more difference then max.14cm.
This was in the film never say never again.Sean was then 53 years old and barefoot 184cm.
Absolutely not possible today 6ft2inch Hugh, also not a weak 6ft2inch. Hugh 191cm says on 2/Aug/09
Still looks around 6ft2 going on 79. Lenad says on 2/Aug/09
5'10-5'11 range today? Oh your funny Jay... Hugh 191cm says on 25/Jul/09
My bet is on 189cm peak barefoot and now 188cm. ralf says on 25/Jul/09
I bet all my money for Sean 187cm peak height (barefoot).And now a weak 185cm. Hugh 191cm says on 24/Jul/09
I changed my name from my evening height to my afternoon height. Brad says on 23/Jul/09
I asked 5 actresses who worked with Sean on 007 films 4 days ago, all agreed 6' 2" was about right. I saw him a few years ago and he was 6' 1" for crying outloud. He was taller than Jack Lord who was easily a strong 6' or 6' 1". Doug says on 21/Jul/09
Hugh, how have you grown 1cm? Anonymous says on 12/Jul/09
5ft10.5! 6ft and 6ft1 are ridiculous. 6ft2 now and 6ft2.5 peak. Jay says on 12/Jul/09
He was 6ft 1 peak in comparison to photos of him with Ian Fleming. Harold Sakata who played Oddjob in Goldfinger was 5ft 8 and did a good job of looking tall next to Connery. Connery is about 6ft now but only stretched out. He has terrible stooped posture these days which could make him appear 5ft 10.5 at times. Original says on 11/Jul/09
6'2 peak height.
6'1 now. Hugh 191cm says on 10/Jul/09
6ft3 always seemed a bit of a stretch. 189cm I can buy. Yard says on 10/Jul/09
Wow! I'm suprised to see this, I just saw the movie where he was a crook who theived with his son and grandson and I had to swear he was 6'5''!
Guess the other actors were just real short :/ Hugh 191cm says on 5/Jul/09
Caine did look a tad shorter than Connery at the 1988 Oscars. Both men could still have been at their peak heights. Ed(1) says on 3/Jul/09
I checked out The Man Who Would Be King the other night, and Connery did look close to 6ft2. Both Connery and Caine were pretty evenly matched, but a few times Connery looked taller.
The movie was made in 1975, putting Connery at 45 years old, and to be honest he didn't look to have shrunk at all from his Bond days. Doug says on 28/Jun/09
Hugh 190cm your input is needed on the Clint Eastwood where Ali thinks that Roger Moore is average height and Connery "towered above him". LOL. Doug says on 28/Jun/09
Today Connery is only a little taller than Harrison Ford, I've seen a video of them during a 2006 lifetime achievement presentation side by side and Connery today is clearly not 6'2. I could just about buy 6'1" next to Ford. Connery was 0.5-1 inch taller MAX. Frank2 says on 27/Jun/09
Mitchum's peak height was 6'1". Ed(1) says on 27/Jun/09
Frank2 says on 20/Jun/09
"I met Connery at Fox back in the 1990s and he was slightly taller than me. I'm 5'11" so I'd say he was slightly over 6'. I'd bet the farm he was 6'1" when he was younger. I've compared him to other actors and he always looked 6'1". "
Frank2 says on 20/Jun/09
Harrison Ford is 6':
Frank2, so if you met Connery back in the early 90's and saw him at slightly taller then yourself, what do you think the deal was with Connery and Ford in Last Crusade(1989)? There was easily close to 2" difference between the two in the film: Click Here , and the same can be said in these recent photos: Click Here
You're saying Ford is 6ft (which sounds reasonable enough), but Connery was only 6ft or a bit over a mere few years after Crusade. I doubt he lost 2 inches in a few years. Do you think there was suspicious footwear at play in the film? It does seems odd though, that they would want to make his elderly father taller then the hero!
I've never met either of them, nor have I worked on a film set, and you've been privy to a lot of behind the scenes stuff we'll never ever see, so my question is genuine. I'm not trying to take you task! adam says on 26/Jun/09
Frank, Bob Mitchum was a big man. 6-1 and 200lbs, right. Lenad says on 26/Jun/09
187cm min at peak Gonzalo says on 26/Jun/09
Thought this was Sean Connery´s page. Must be wrong.
To put Connery between 5`11-6 feet nowadays is a joke. Not a good one though adam says on 26/Jun/09
You were thin too, Frank! You used to be 150lbs at 5-11. Frank2 says on 25/Jun/09
Here you can see Grant looking an inch shorter next to 6'1" Robert Mitchum:
Click Here Frank2 says on 25/Jun/09
Grant was 6'. He lost height as he got older. By the time he was in his seventies he had lost about an inch in height. Frank2 says on 25/Jun/09
Stewart was way too thin for his height. Grant was around 165 to 170 pounds which for a man standing six feet is still considered to be thin. Grant had very thin legs. He had broad shoulders which was from working as an acrobat during his earliest days in showbiz. Frank2 says on 25/Jun/09

Gonzalo again I agree completely. Caine 1`86, Connery 1`87 seems right. 194cm Seagal had an easy 3 inches on Caine. adam says on 25/Jun/09
Grant was thin but so was Stewart! Stewart was like 140lbs at 6-3! adam says on 24/Jun/09
Gonzalo says on 24/Jun/09
Adam, Connery was not taller than Wayne by any means. Connery was slightly taller than Caine. Check this pic of Caine next to John Wayne or James Stewart and you will see he is clearly shorter than both guys.
Click Here
Caine 1`86, Connery 1`87
Come on Gonzalo... that was a joke, my boy. I wanted to see Frank`s reaction, that is why I said that.
Yes, Wayne was taller than Connery. Jimmy Stewart was at least 6-3. Hugh 191cm says on 24/Jun/09
Circa 1988, Connery is still 189cm, Caine is still 6ft2 and roger Moore had shrunk half an inch from his peak height (6ft1.75) now making him 186cm. Gonzalo says on 24/Jun/09

Caine 1`86, Connery 1`87 Ray says on 24/Jun/09
I distinctly remember him saying on Jay Leno circa 1995 that he was 6'1.5" depending on the state of his shoe leather. This would mean he would have been about 6'0.75" (185 cm) barefoot in 1995.
Believe me or don't guys...doesn't really bother me... but that is what he said. The Voice of Reason says on 23/Jun/09
Does anybody know when Sean Connery claimed to be 6'1.5"? If it was a few years ago, then it is probably his current height, with a peak of 6'2.5". You can see that he is about a 1/2 inch taller than Michael Caine (6'2") when they were walking side by side at the Oscars in 1988. Lenad says on 23/Jun/09
See I know what I'm talking about. 6'1 1/2 minimum adam says on 23/Jun/09
Glad you have some sense of humor as well, Frankie. I like it!
Sean was at least 6-1½. adam says on 23/Jun/09
Thanks, Doug. Frank2, John Wayne was 6-1, not Sean Connery. Doug says on 23/Jun/09
Adam I agree completely. Connery did look a legit 6'2" as Bond. Anything below 187cm for Connery peak is clearly too low. 6'1.5" is absolute minimum. Today I think he is 6'1". adam says on 23/Jun/09
In his Bond films Connery was around 6-2 and 180lbs. He looked big and didnt carry anything extra. Lenad says on 22/Jun/09
185-186cm is too low for his younger days Hugh 190cm says on 22/Jun/09
6ft2.5 peak. I stand by my claim. adam says on 22/Jun/09
Sean was taller than Gert Frobe who claimed 186cm which is 6-1 and a quarter. Sean was a lot taller than the 5-10 Robert Shaw who also wore lifts. Connery was measured 6-2.4 and 6-1½. He claims 6-1½.
-> He was 6-1½ minimum. Ed(1) says on 22/Jun/09
It's tough to pinpoint either of these two, but Connery has always maintained an edge on Ford, with what looks like at least 2" back in Last Crusade(1989), and close to it in recent years.

Either they're both shorter then listed, or taller, but either way there looks to be a good 2" gap. Maybe today it's even less? If Ford was truly 6ft1 in 1989, then Connery was 6ft3ish.
If Connery was only marginally over 6ft1, considering he was roughly the same height as Kevin Costner in The Untouchables(1987), then that would make Ford only 5ft11ish in Last Crusade. Doug says on 22/Jun/09
Frank 2 you aren't taking into account Lord's hair. With his quiff he was as tall as Connery even a little taller. Without the hair I'd estimate Lord at 6'1" and COnnery at 6'1.5". He was marginally taller but in the same height range. Doug says on 22/Jun/09
Well the best evidence is the 6'1.5 barefoot tailor measurement, the exact height that Connery also claims. This is practically 6'2" in most people's eyes and in shoes he will be 6'2.5", nearly 6'3" which I think is exactly how Connery has appeared to me. Barefoot I'm sticking with 6'1.5", but I'm certain out of bed he was 6'2" in his prime and that the 6'1.5" was a midday/afternoon measurment. At a 2006 honory presentation Connery today is only marginally taller than Harrison Ford. Connery is still about 6'1" today. I believe Harrison Ford is 6', Hugh 190cm says on 22/Jun/09
Brosnan was and maybe just maybe still is a weak 6ft2. 186cm minimum anyway. Jay 6ft1 is ridiculous for Connery especially peak. In his prime he was at least 6ft2 and probably taller. Today he's still around 6ft2. Maybe a 1cm less. Lenad says on 22/Jun/09
6ft0 today? Then I guess Jim Carrey must really only be 182cm then. Honestly Frank2 your ridiculos with your estimates sometimes Lenad says on 22/Jun/09

Connery looks more than 1`85 to me. 1`87 could be his exact peak height Jay says on 21/Jun/09
Frank2 is correct. Connery was 6ft 1 at peak but managed to maintain that height for many more years than most older men. He's about 6ft now.
There are photos of him with Ian Fleming (6ft at his peak. He based Bond's height on his own) on the set of Dr No and From Russia With Love.
A. Bear in mind Fleming is old here and Connery is closer to the camera and has a large hair piece.
Click Here
B. This time they are more equal distance from the camera during the same shoot
Click Here
C. And again they are almost equal in height
Click Here
Robert Shaw was a genuine 5ft 10 and wore lifts in From Russia With Love to equal Connery's height. That would have been impossible if Connery was taller than 6ft 1 otherwise Shaw would not have been able to walk or fight properly.
I'm also digging around for a photo of Connery with Steve Reeves at the 1950 Mr Universe. Reeves was also 6ft 1. RisingForce says on 21/Jun/09
6'1" sounds right for Brosnan, no taller though. Frank2 says on 21/Jun/09
Never met him either. Perhaps Bosnan is 6'1". thomas says on 21/Jun/09
Frank2,did you ever met Pierce Brosnan? What is your opinion about his height? Frank2 says on 21/Jun/09
I never met him. I'd venture to guess he was 5'6". Anonymous says on 20/Jun/09
Connery was a weak 6-2 at the very, very most peak. The Bond tailors measured him at 6-1 1/2. Hes 187cm peak. RisingForce says on 20/Jun/09
Frank2, did you ever meet Donald Pleasance? How tall was he? Frank2 says on 20/Jun/09
Harrison Ford is 6':
Click Here Frank2 says on 20/Jun/09
Not on the DVD I have. First off, they shoot from angles that are not totally straight on. When Bond Meets Felix, it's an up angle.

Here's a production still from farther away showing the two men are about the same height:
Click Here Doug says on 20/Jun/09
Frank2, Connery was noticeably taller than Jack Lord. Frank2 says on 20/Jun/09
I met Connery at Fox back in the 1990s and he was slightly taller than me. I'm 5'11" so I'd say he was slightly over 6'. I'd bet the farm he was 6'1" when he was younger. I've compared him to other actors and he always looked 6'1". Not that 6'1" is short. But he never looked 6'3" to me. He never looked 6'2" either. He was slightly taller than Gert Frobe in GOLDFINGER. Frobe was 6' tall when he appeared in GOLDFINGER. In a couple of shots when Frobe stands up straight he's about the same height. Jack Lord was 6'1" when you don't take into account his hair. Add another inch for the hair. The old joke was during the opening credits for HAWAII FIVE-O that Lord's hair didn't move in the wind. Lenad says on 19/Jun/09
A solid 6'3 in shoes and a solid 6'2 barefoot or a weak 6'3 in shoes and a weak 6'3 in shoes Hugh 190cm says on 19/Jun/09
6ft2 (188cm) should remain his current height and 6ft2.5 (189cm) as his peak. RisingForce says on 19/Jun/09
Someone post a link to reliable website where Connery stated he was 6'1.5" adam says on 19/Jun/09
Sean was 6-2. Never 6-3. Lenad says on 19/Jun/09
187-188cm barefoot 190-191cm in shoes or 188-189cm barefoot 191-192cm in shoes sounds right to me Lenad says on 19/Jun/09
sorry for calling you an idiot ray but i think your going a bit too low with this 6'1.5 max claim. 6'1.5 min is more like it and yes the only way he was a full 6ft3 is with shoes on. i personally think 187-189cm barefoot and 190-192cm in shoes. thats my opinion anyway Ray says on 18/Jun/09
What the f**k are you on Lenad ??? Lighten up dude.
Don't be arguing semantics with me, I have stated 6'1.5" all along. I'm just quoting the man himself, yet people are still insisting on 6'3" and even 6'4". Lenad says on 18/Jun/09
6ft3ish in shoes 6ft2ish barefoot Ray says on 18/Jun/09
Hugh, Jack Lord was 6'0" according to an FBI file and Gert Frobe may have hit 6'1" in his younger days but he was 50 yrs old when he was in Goldfinger so probably lost height due to his posture (he was very overweight)and also his age Lenad says on 18/Jun/09
Ray your an idiot. you've once said that Connery was 6'1.5 nothing under that and now your saying hes nothing above that. i will admit to you that he wasnt 6'3 if it makes you happy. Pizza Pete says on 17/Jun/09
In his first 3 Bond films, Connery looked 6-3 (191 cm) in shoes and weighed circa 190 lbs. Lenad says on 17/Jun/09
187cm min 189cm max. 186cm is a bit too low for his younger days Lenad says on 16/Jun/09
i saw him at a solid 6ft2 in doctor no Hugh 190cm says on 14/Jun/09
Look ray you may think I'm being cocky but I'm just stating my opinion. If you think connery was 6ft1.5 that's fine. I personally think it's too low. The guy has too much of an advantage over solid 6ft1 guys like jack lord and gert frobe to be any lower than 6ft2. Today Connery might still be 6ft2 but no taller. Doug says on 14/Jun/09
Hugh, Connery looked 189cm peak I agree with you. But this is as you see him in shoes. Can you honestly say he looked near 6'4" in shoes if he was close to 6'3" barefoot? If Connery said he was measured at 6'1.5" barefoot then this is exactly what he was, Connery is enough of a man not to state anything other than the truth. If he was a genuine 6'1.5" (187cm) it stands to reason that the man would have appeared around 190cm in shoes (which I believe he did). Ed(1) says on 12/Jun/09

I have to agree with Josh's estimates, however I think Lazenby and Dalton were a bit taller....maybe 187 cm. Spot on with the rest I think. Lenad says on 31/May/09
Yeah I agree with James Roger Moore looked a solid 6ft0 in Live and let die. But he was obviously taller than that Hugh 190cm says on 30/May/09
JOSH those estimates are ridiculous. Every actor at the time they played bond were well over 6ft.
It should be
Connery 6ft2.5
Lazenby 6ft2
Dalton 6ft2.25
Moore 6ft1.75
Brosnan 6ft1.75 Akirum says on 30/May/09
Timothy Dalton is 6 ft 2, no way is he 6 ft.04 JOSH says on 29/May/09
I think the 6ft 2.4 height could have been in shoes or in daps. I would then estimate the heights of the bonds barefoot as
sean connery 6ft 1.6
george lazenby 6ft.04
roger moore 6ft.04
timothy dalton 6ft.04
pierce brosnan 6ft.04 Doug says on 29/May/09
Hugh, why do you persist on claiming heights of actors in their shoes? Connery was not 6'3" barefoot at peak, Hugh Jackman is not 6'3" barefoot, David Schwimmer is not 6'2" barefoot, Keanu Reeves is not a strong 6'1" barefoot either and Clint Eastwood is clearly not 6'2" barefoot today either he is an easy 4-5 inches shorter than Tim Robbins, he's 6'1" max today. Why do you keep inflating their heights? You seem to always state heights in shoes and most of the time you seem to state an inch above what most people agree they are barefoot. Hugh 190cm says on 28/May/09
He looked at least 6ft2 to me when I met him in '98. I think now he is 6ft2 flat but barely. 6ft2.5 peak certainly if he was able to pull off looking 6ft3 countless times in the past. I think Moore was very close to 6ft2 when he played Bond. In 90's he could past for that aswell. Today he looks to be maybe 6ft-6ft0.5. Lenad says on 28/May/09
There is minimum of 1cm between him and Carrey hence Connery being 186cm min and Carrey being 185cm min Lenad says on 27/May/09
Carrey looks 6ft1 or taller to me not 6ft1.5 or taller (still tall dont worry!). I see Connery 186cm min today and Carrey 185cm min. Also heres what I saw Hugh. From Russia with love 6'1.25-6'1.5, Dr No 6'2-6'2.5, Goldfinger 6'2-6'2.5, 6'1.5-6'2 in Thunderball and 6'2-6'2.5 in the untouchables. I think he was most likely a strong 6ft2 at peak. Going once! Going twice! Hugh 190cm says on 24/May/09
I still see 6ft2. He also has 2 inches over a now 6ft Roger Moore. |
