Weak 6'2 prime and 6'1 today IMO.
Hugh 191cm says on 30/Oct/09
6ft2.25 peak and 6ft1.75 now? Hugh 191cm says on 18/Oct/09
Perhaps he still is 188cm, rob? The Voice of Reason says on 18/Oct/09
Judging from his two Bond films, I'd say Dalton's peak was a strong 6'2" or 6'2.25". Compare him to Robert Davi in Licence to Kill. Depending on footwear, Dalton looks to be 1/2 inch taller in some scenes. His tailor measured him at 6'2" and he claimed to be 6'2" right? g says on 24/Sep/09
Mr.T says on 7/Apr/07
In 1989, I sat on a transatlantic flight for 6 hours with Timothy Dalton. He was in the seat behind me in first class; the permitted smoking row at the time. He did smoke nonstop for almost the entire flight). My fiance and I were surprised at how "short" he was. We had many opportunities to evaluate this while using the WC and stretching our legs, crossing paths in the aisle. He was certanily less than 6ft even and maybe closer to 5ft 11inches.
Did you see him walk? Or did you only saw him sitting there and judged from that point that he was that tall? Hugh 191cm says on 8/Sep/09
6ft1.75 now and 6ft2.25 peak. Tom says on 3/Sep/09
Timothy Dalton towers over Simon Pegg, who is 5'8''-5'10''. 6' is too short., plus Brian Blessed give 6'2'' on the Flash Gordon commentary.
Peteyork, I agree with you; BMI is unreliable and only accounts for people who don't exercise/ workout. Johnny Wilkinson is 5'10'' and classed as obese at 15 stone (210 lbs), and a fly half for England! sabbs says on 30/Aug/09
timothy dalton is 6'2 without shoes
sean connery is 6'1 1/2 without shoes
george lazenby is 6'1 1/2 without shoes

Lazenby 6ft2 Dalton 6ft2.25 Connery 6ft2.5 Brosnan 6ft1.75 Moore 6ft1.75 Craig 5ft10.5 End of discussion.
No, it is not the end of the discussion since Dalton was measured exactly at 6-2 and was therefore the TALLEST measured Bond. Mario says on 14/Aug/09

At least 6'1.5" and likely a solid 6'2" at peak. The man is just too tall to be a flat 6' and still have a presence amongst other actors. Anonymous says on 1/Jul/09
6-2 Anthony Edwards had 2 inches on him. He could have been 6-0 for sure. Ali says on 30/Jun/09
6ft-6'0.5 max height IMO. 6'2 No way IMO.
Only Connery might have been 6'2 and he himself stated
that he was 6'1.5. Lazenby said that Connery was the tallest
Bond. Lazenby is nowadays slightly under 6'1.
Timothy Dalton was never over 6'1. I think he was
6ft max with a good pair of lifts 6'1. peteyork says on 20/Jun/09
Rusty and all, this will tell you if you really need to loose weight
Click Here peteyork says on 20/Jun/09
rusty BMI is rubbish, it measure your body weight against your height. It does not measure your fat, body size and is terrible for health. I am a medium build guy, in other words my middle finger and thumb touch wrap around my wrist. A big build guy's won't, a small build guy will overlap. I am 180 and 5'11, so overweight according to the bmi, the us body fat measure puts me at 13-14%. Overweight for guy is 22% plus body fat. If I was a large build I would be 195, I would be down to 4% body fat before i would hit bmi 24 figure. 4% body fat is boxer weighing appearance and body builder competion day. it is really bad for you. You put weight on as you get older, the old medical journals used to same a pound a year 25 to 45. Please do not encourage people to use the bmi, its good if you are 25 and a medium build, if you are not for get it. animaltalker says on 14/Jun/09
was just looking at a photo of Timothy Dalton and Alan Rickman at Natasha Richardson's funeral Dalton looked shorter than Rickman who is 6' 1", could be a difference in the type of shoes the two men were wearing but Rickman definitelly looked the taller of the two men thomas says on 4/Jun/09
Hello Hugh.Yet since february i`m bringing more weight.Actually i weight 165lb (6ft2inch)and i feel much better and stronger.I eat more times every day.
By the way i think Mr.Brosnan is today a strong 6ft1inch, but not under that. yoyo says on 4/May/09
he looks to be the 2nd tallest james bond guy. Connery def the 1st tallest bond. Brosnan looks to be shortest at 6ft1(185cm). Akirum says on 28/Apr/09
I think Connery might have been 6-2 tops when he was real young, but in any case Dalton and Lezenby were consistently 6-2. ikbtops says on 24/Apr/09
It has been said that Dalton and Lezenby are the tallest Bonds. Like it or not 6'2"-ish! Akirum says on 20/Apr/09
6'1 and 133 is below recommended weight. If he could get up towards 145 lbs that would be within a healthy weight range.
I would argue that Brad Pitt has an ideal body weight for his height, and I think many guys wish they were built like that. He's really only "rake thin" from the standpoint of a population of mostly overweight citizens. Back in 1960 his weight would have been quite normal, and the average guy was 166 lbs back then... fastforward to nowdays, average men are weighing 190 lbs. I don't think this increase in weight was simply devoted to working out, I rather suspect McDonald's and the ever increasing belly was more likely the case. Is this extra 25 lbs a healthier look? Akirum says on 18/Apr/09
I'd say Dalton was a strong 6'1 1/2. Interesting that the tailors in London give Dalton as the tallest Bond.
159 lbs for 6 ft 2 is slender, but no means unhealthy. I am 6 ft 0 tall and weigh 165 lbs. This is actually the optimal recommended ideal weight for a medium framed man of my height. An extra 10 to 15 lbs of muscle would certainly benefit me, but this would be more of a Western cosmetic approval than what my body requires. Doug says on 18/Apr/09
There is a guy on Glenn or Rob's page who is 6'1" and claims to be 133 pounds. Now thats is unhealthy! 160 pounds at 6'2" is underweight period, Pitt is as askinny as a rake and is this weight at a weak 5'11". You should be at least 175 or 180 pounds minimum. Barack Obama says on 10/Apr/09
I don't believe in you Hugh. You say every bonds have the same height! Rusty says on 7/Apr/09
Hugh 190cm says on 6/Apr/09
Thomas you really need to consider putting on some weight. 6ft2, 159lbs is not healthy. A man of your height should weight at least 185lbs. I myself am 191cm and I weigh 220lbs (used to be 233lbs). I don't mean to sound big headed. Just some friendly advice. If you want to remain rake thin thats your choice.
6'2" and 159 pounds is rake thin yes, but not unhealthy. Healthy weight for 6'2" is 145 to 195 pounds with 180 as the ideal weight. Im 6'3" and 170 pounds and perfectly healthy. Anonymous says on 6/Apr/09
According to the James Bond film tailors in London, at 6' 1.75" he is the tallest of all the Bond actors. The tailors who have fitted and measured each of the 5 Bonds over the years claim the following heights for each of the other Bond actors: Sean Connery 6' 1 1/2" without shoes, George Lazenby 6' 1 1/2" without shoes, Roger Moore 6' 1.25" without shoes and Pierce Brosnan 6' 1.25" without shoes. Hugh 190cm says on 6/Apr/09

If Dalton was 6'1.75, Brosnan no more than 6'1, if Dalton was 6'2.25, Brosnan no more than 6'1.5
Keep talking oh great one! thomas says on 14/Feb/09
I`m 159lb and 188cm.3 Times on weak i trained for Boxtraining and each time 2hours.But i can eat what i want and i don`t weighting more.It`s horrible. Barack Obama says on 5/Feb/09
If Dalton was 6'1.75, Brosnan no more than 6'1, if Dalton was 6'2.25, Brosnan no more than 6'1.5. Rusty says on 4/Feb/09
There are many reasons you weigh that much:
1. Your body fat level is much higher, most likely as most people do have a higher body fat level than me
2. Your bone structure is likely thicker than mine
3. You have more muscle mass than me, as you work out alot more and naturally have more than me
I dont know anyone who considers me underweight. When I buy jackets, im sometimes swimming in them, but in T-shirts, i look pretty ripped.
When my kid's parents see me, they always comment on my body, as they are all heavier than me most likely. Anonymous says on 3/Feb/09
170 at 6'3"? Thats underweight surely? Is it me or are the tall guys on this site really lightweights? I'm around 6'2.25" barefoot out of bed and weigh 224 pounds and I'm only 25. I'm not fat, but I'm very well built with a large chest and shoulders and work out quite a bit. Guys who say 190lbs is heavy really makes me feel pretty much a cake! Rusty says on 30/Jan/09
I am 6'3", and when I reached that height at age 17, i weighed 160, and now im 40 and weigh 170, which i have weighed for over 20 years now and i would consider myself at a perfect weight. Ive never really changed my body shape, i guess. adam says on 25/Jan/09
Hugh says on 19/Jan/09
Rusty 6ft and 180lbs is quite quite slim actually.
It depends how you are build and proportioned. If you have a lanky proportion, long legs and shorter torso and not that naturally broad frame, then you can quickly look too heavy.
Then again if you have longer torso, shorter legs and broad shoulders, then you can weigh surprisingly lot without looking "heavy". Im 6-2 and a little over 200lbs and some say that Im slim.
So 6ft and 180 can look both slim and somewhat heavy. If you are exactly six feet tall then around 180 is a pretty good weight. Definitely not 150! Rusty says on 21/Jan/09
Hugh how is 6ft 180 slim? I would say slim at that height is about 150-170. Hugh says on 19/Jan/09
In my opinion Dalton and Lazenby were 6ft2. Connery was 6ft2.5. Moore could've been 6ft2 when he was a young man. Brosnan is at least 6ft1.5 but could possibly be 6ft2. Hugh says on 19/Jan/09
Rusty 6ft and 180lbs is quite quite slim actually. adam says on 19/Jan/09
Hugh says on 24/Dec/08
Adam I'd say Connery and Dalton were about the same height both peak and currently. But I do agree that Davi is over 6ft2 and Dalton is a solid 6ft2.
Yep, Connery and Dalton were both solidly 6-2 in my opinion. In their prime I`d say they were within 1cm. 188-189 both. Robert Davi was probably the same height. Certainly in Predator 2 Davi was shorter than Glover and he and Dalton were the same height, weren´t they? Rusty says on 16/Jan/09
My friend is 6' and 180 and looks like he could lose a couple pounds, BMI works for men and women, but not for pregnant women and bodybuilders. Lmeister says on 15/Jan/09
Rusty, BMI isn't the best way to measure, if a person is in good shape. Almost all sportsmen would be overweight or even obese, if u just look at the BMI. Guy who is around 6ft2 and 180 lbs looks really slender, if the person has done some sports. Rusty says on 14/Jan/09
He was measured at 6'2" by the bond tailors and weighed a little under 180 in 1989.
That is a BMI of 23.1, and he has always looked on the thinner side and if he is only 6'0" as some of you guys are saying, that would be a BMI of 24.4, which is almost overweight.
I think he might have been almost 6'3", but rounded himself down as he hadnt quite reached 6'3" and didnt wanna claim a height that he hadnt reached. linebacker40 says on 5/Jan/09
Dalton, in my opinion, fully represents the perfect male height that is 6'2". Could not be any less or more.
Also was my second favorite bond next to Peirce. Nate says on 4/Jan/09
6'2 prime. 6'1 now. very underrated bond. fsdfldj says on 30/Dec/08
he should be updated to atleast 6'2", the bond tailors measured him at that height and he seems to be amoung the strongest 6'2"s ive ever seen Hugh says on 24/Dec/08
Dalton is 6ft2.25 currently and say 6ft2.75 peak, Connery was 6ft2.5 peak and is now 6ft2 flat. Hugh says on 24/Dec/08
Adam I'd say Connery and Dalton were about the same height both peak and currently. But I do agree that Davi is over 6ft2 and Dalton is a solid 6ft2. adam says on 21/Dec/08
Lebensdorf says on 7/Dec/08
Please upgrade him, Rob. This guy is the strongest six-foot-two you'll ever find.
Correct. Dalton is solidly 6-2. What is that 6-1 and 3/4, come on. Dalton is quite possibly the tallest Bond. He has been measured 6-2 and he sure looks 6-2! Lebensdorf says on 7/Dec/08
Please upgrade him, Rob. This guy is the strongest six-foot-two you'll ever find. Hugh says on 29/Sep/08
True. Lenad, I have met celebrities in person. Not ALL celebrities but a fair amount. So don't come on and start calling me a liar. Lenad says on 28/Sep/08
He has the build of a 6'2 guy. adam says on 19/Sep/08
A solid 6-2 peak. No question. Just watched a movie Hot Fuzz where Dalton towered the leading actor whatshisname... Dalton has always looked tall! nicole says on 8/Sep/08
Timothy looks today a strong 6ft1inch, so he lost 1inch. tims number one fan says on 9/Aug/08
yeah probably shrunk now he is 62 still a great actor Mr. R says on 3/Aug/08
I saw him a few years ago leaving a party, and he looked about 6-1. tims number one fan says on 29/Jun/08
no he is 6 ft 2 never been taller than that even as bond Lenad says on 23/Jun/08
I assume this means 187cm today. Personally, I think he was 6'2-6'2.25 in his Bond days. He just always seemed a solid 6'2. tims number one fan says on 26/May/08
timothy dalton is 6 foot 2 inches tall in mary queen of scots film stands next to patrick mcgoohan who is also 6 foot 2 they are the same height Anonymous says on 26/May/08

timothy dalton is a solid 6'2 X says on 5/Mar/08
I know I was shocked to I always though the Bond's were average Height til I heard bout this But I checked it out heres what I came up with.
Dalton is 6,2
Connery is 6,1.75
Lazinby is 6,1.50
Moore is 6,1.25
Perice Brosnan is 6,1 [He was the shortest Bond Til Creig came in]
Creig is like 5,11 I think.
Btw this is offtopic but how do you request to get some celeb heights on here. Ivan 6'2.25 says on 6/Feb/08
is the tallest bond ever 6'1.75 188 cms approx. Robin says on 29/Dec/07

Timothy Dalton looks a good 187 at HOT FUZZ.. 6ft2 at his prime.. Anonymous says on 15/Dec/07
I agree. In his Bond movies, Dalton looks TALL. Every bit as tall as 6'2" Robert Davi in Licence to Kill and noticeably taller than 6' Jeroen Krabbe. Dalton is a solid 6'2". mazey says on 7/Dec/07
For heaven's sake. EVERYONE comments on how tall he is. Not only is it evident in LION IN WINTER, but also in JANE EYRE where he towers over EVERYONE, not just Zelah Clarke, who's tiny. In fact recent interviewers made mention of his size. Implying he looks even taller in person. Cast mates also noted that in the HOT FUZZ extras (great movie btw). And if you look at the HF premier footage where he's signing autographs, he's probably the tallest person there. How much evidence do you want?
As for vanity, that's ridiculous. The guy is legendary for shunning Hollywood "style," almost to the point of rebellion. He's frequently described as on the scruffy side. Not the type of thing he'd be concerned about. Sometimes cameras shoot scenes in ways that create some distortion, so you can't scrutinize every little thing, it's deceptive. But honestly I've no doubt he is 6'2". No vanity-lying or shrinkage. Nicola says on 27/Nov/07
I think 6 ft 1.75 in (187 cm) is his exactly height and George Lazenby is the tallest actor to play Bond.
Sean Connery: 6-1.5 (1m87)
George Lazenby: 6-2 (1m88)
Roger Moore: 6-1.25 (1m86)
Timothy Dalton: 6-1.75 (1m87)
Pierce Brosnan: 6-1.75 (1m87)
Daniel Craig: 5-10 (1m78) Anonymous says on 31/Oct/07
According to the tailors that have worked for the company that produces the Bond films (Eon Productions):
Sean Connery: 6-1.5
George Lazenby: 6-1.5
Roger Moore: 6-1
Timothy Dalton: 6-2
Pierce Brosnan: 6-1
Daniel Craig: 5-10
So, as yet, Dalton is the tallest actor to play Bond, and, I would say, a definite 6-2. vince says on 4/Oct/07
Guys, I saw this guy in 1992 in Rome, I was 6.4 at the time. Now I am 6 5 and have stopped growing of course. He was at least 6-3 or around my height. Because he was very slim, he seemed very tall. What does he look like now? Bet you is fat and bald. Tee says on 10/Sep/07
If you listen to the commentaries on the Hot Fuzz DVD almost all the actors providing the commentary remark how tall Dalton is and how physically imposing he can be - Olivia Coleman stated that Dalton was like 8 foot tall! and scary! Rider says on 12/Aug/07
no chance!! 6 ft 2in is being generous, !!simon peg is tiny 5ft 7in MAX check this photo, (jim broadbent in the background in a door way which should be 6ft 6 ,and he's a good 5 inches under) i'd say dalton is 6 ft MAX ..

i met dalton in a bookshop in the late 1980s and he was exactly eye to eye with me and i am 184 cm tall so hes not 6ft 2 or anything near as much as that SR says on 23/Feb/07
Sorry mate, I just saw it the other day and thought I'd let you know. That's what was listed in the copy I saw, but I can't prove it. No dodgy business going on, honest!! And I'm not Yaois 7-7...... SR says on 23/Feb/07
You have to have a special pin to view actors credentials on the website, which casting agents/industry people etc pay for. They also have an actual book which you can thumb through, which major libraries sometimes have. That's where I saw his info. Sorry I can't prove this for you, the website is Click Here if that helps in any way...
[Editor Rob: I am fully aware, I just want someone who says they saw 6ft 1 to prove it because I've got Dalton's page here in front of me...1472.
this reminds me of Yaois7-7...] SR says on 23/Feb/07
He's listed as 6'1 now in The Spotlight (directory for actors in the UK). Only he or his agent can submit personal details for this (including height, weight etc) so maybe he's shrunk slightly with age. Having said that, he and Jim Broadbent do look huge in "Hot Fuzz"!!
[Editor Rob: please do a printscreen and email to me then.] Zyc says on 22/Feb/07
to an earlier comment, dalton does look very tall in hot fuzz but if anyones noticed the whole film is shot at simon peggs heights and hes quite short, therfore everyone taller than heim looks like a giant, alos when hes stood by the height board hes stood forward and in shoes which will give him a few inches. also anyone know how tall the goofy shop assitant who says 'yarp' is? he looks about 6'6 or 7? The Horse of FUNK says on 20/Feb/07
Give me a break, he looks a minimum of 6'2.25 in 'The Lion in the Winter'. I think he's a consistent 6'2 in his younth and had leveled out in his elder age to a bang on 6'2". The Vicar says on 19/Feb/07
Yes tubbs, i agree with you. I saw Hot Fuzz on Saturday and through the whole of that film Timothy Dalton did look a good 6,2 inches tall or more. I would put money on Timothy still being 6,2.By the way i would recomend everyone to go and see that film it is fantastic and Timothy was great in it. tubbs says on 19/Feb/07
Saw him in Hot Fuzz last night,if you don't want to know Daltons outcome, do not read this! by the way he's fantastic in it, anyway, he still looks a strong 6'2", and when he has his mugshot at the end, the top of his head is at the 6'3" mark, he must have been in shoes for this. Either way, I think he needs upgrading to 6'2". AA says on 15/Jan/07
Mr Mayfair, I don't think you're being "fair" :D!
Connery - 6'3"
Lazenby 6'2"
Moore - 6'1"
Dalton - 6'1.5"
Brosnan - 6'1"
Craig - 5'10"
That's what I think... Mr Mayfair says on 10/Jan/07
T. Dalton 6.2
S. Connery 6.3
R. Moore 6.1
P. Brosnan 6.05
G. Lazenby 6.1 & 3/4
D. Craig 5.9 (maybe 5.9 & 1/2) Phoebe says on 2/Jan/07
The tailors who have always made to measure the suits for Bond movies have Timothy Dalton as the tallest Bond at exactly 6'2", a hair's breadth taller than Sean Connery, with Roger Moore and George Lazenby being 6'1.5", Pierce Brosnan 5'11" and Daniel Craig 5'10". Picture says on 11/Sep/06
How can Dalton be 6 ft 1.5 if Brosnan is 6 ft 1.5?
Why did you by the way remove a half inch of his official height Editor? Editor Rob says on 9/Sep/06
Saw a 1987 Philly Daily news article. In it the movie reviewer was talking about how he had described dalton as a 5ft 8 man and people questioned that (duh), so:
"I called the movie's publicist. The true story: Dalton is "between 6 feet 1 inch and 6 feet 2 inches" " piwo81 says on 19/May/06
Paul, how can it be that two men are the same height, as for example in the below picture Moore and Brosnan, and one is 183 cm and the other 186 ? :) In my opinion this picture is a proof that Brosnan's 188, 187, 186 and even 185 cm is a bullshit. I like Brosnan but the true is that he is 6' max. Editor Rob says on 2/May/06
In recent Marple he squared up to 6ft 3 Laurence Fox and I thought he still looked nearish this mark... anon says on 29/Apr/06
I just finished watching the Rocketeer. He's slightly shorter than Paul Sorvino so 6'1 1/2" or 6'2" is correct. Paul says on 17/Apr/06
The picture suggests Moore could be 183cm, Brosnan 186cm and Dalton 187cm.
Moore probably was taller was he was younger. Maybe 185cm. Also, Dalton may have been 188cm a while back. tomking says on 13/Mar/06
Exactly ludovic, thats what my colleg (photograph) said about Pierce Brosnan. ludovic says on 12/Mar/06
Pierce is 185 cms, Moore 183 cms, Dalton 185.
I've met them in 2001 in a meeting.
I'm 183 myself. Vincent says on 22/Feb/06
Dalton is the tallest of the Bonds. He is obviously a legitimite 6'2'' And in Hawks Janet McTeer is not taller than him, she is 1 inch shorter Tubbs says on 11/Jan/06
If you watch the fight scene on the plane near the end of The Living Daylights, when Tim cuts his boot off with a knife, if you look closely you can see a lift fly out of it, suggesting that Dalton is only 6'0, did you spot that one Rob? No really, Dalton has always looked a 6'2 fella, and back to Brett's point about Anthony Edwards being 6'3, I believe that could be true, I have a brother, who is 6'4", but for some reason describes himself as 6'2, 6'2.5, 6'3", 6'3.5, anything other than the 6'4 that he is, so in my view Edwards is atleast 6'3, meaning on the Hawks picture Dalton is a genuine 6'2".
[Editor Rob: Dalton yeah, briefly he was walking with Billy Zane in that film and he did still look taller than Zane...the hawks thing, his posture matches the character type.] tomking says on 8/Jan/06
The height is correct,when he was younger, congratulation rob. TheMan says on 1/Jan/06
IMO Dalton has never looked 6,2 i geniunly thought he was only about 5,10 5,11 can't belive he's as tall as 6,2 just doesnt look tall for some reason. Brett says on 20/Nov/05
I reckon that Dalton is no less then 6'2", most legitimate claims put him at above this, but lots of people on here like to come and claim they have met celebrities, most of which are not able to string a simple sentence together. Mario Nariano says on 13/Nov/05
That was sometine ago added in the trivia section of Dalton. Maybe by a fan...
A lot of fans want that there favourite Bond is the tallest. Of course Dalton is 6 ft 2 (or maybe taller, he looks taller than Peter Otoole) but Lazenby and Connery where definetly 6 ft 2.5 at the time they played Bond. Brett says on 12/Nov/05
Rob, campbell really looks 6'4" in the O.C, he dwarfs adam brody by 3/4s of a head and hes 5'11", Id say dalton is 6'2" plus, he does look to be a large man Mario Nariano says on 11/Nov/05
Nope he was slighty shorter than Lazenby and Connery. Seb says on 10/Nov/05
Stop lying Paste, you never met him. Dalton was definitely the tallest actor to play Bond, at 6'2". Paste says on 9/Nov/05
I meeted him, Dalton is probably 5 ft 11 nowedays. He told me that he wored lifts too look taller. He also said that he is teh tallest Bond at this moment, does this mean That Brosnan, Moore, Lazenby are in the 5 ft 11 to 5 ft 10 range? Or did Dalton lie to me, I will aks him again! Gotxo says on 7/Oct/05
Lol, Mario, I agree with you. He's a Shakespearean actor. He did great plays, he's not interested in that hollywood shit. And he looked similar to Benicio de Toro in
height. An Honest guy too, that was raised in the past to match the idea the public had on their co-stars :) Mario Nariano says on 7/Oct/05
No I still think that Dalton is a strong 6 ft 2.
He looks to tall to be under it. He is maybe a 1 or 2 cm shorter than Bill Campbell in The Rocketeer and it's funny that he doesn't look shorter Peter Otoole . I have never noticed something strange about his shoes. Dalton looks to me an honnest guy, he isn't a hollywood idiot who has an height complex.
[Editor Rob: I did see that flick and dalton looks a solid 188cm. Campbell I don't think is quite 6ft 4, I downgrade that guy a tad] CelebHeights Editor says on 6/Oct/05
Ok, I did manage to check Dalton's CV on the Spotlight Database that Yao has mentioned in a few threads...
Guess what...NO HEIGHT is listed.
But, remember Screen Actors website do list him as 6ft 2 and this info was submitted by his agency! Mario Nariano says on 18/Sep/05
I don't think that Dalton wores lifts. Some poeple claim that Dalton wore 2 inch elavator shoes, this would mean that he should look 6 ft 1 barefoot but he looks 6 ft 2 to 6 ft 3 in his movie's.
His shoes also don't look suspectious. Stallone can look 5 ft 9/ 10/ 11 and 6 ft because he wores different elavator shoes. Dalton always looks in the 6 ft 2 range. Mr. Klaus says on 13/Sep/05
I watched the Lion Winter recently and this movie makes me think.
Sometimes Dalton looks about the same height as OToole and sometimes dalton looks an inch taller. I also watched also Licence To kill again, and Dalton looks an full inch taller than Benicio Del Toro!
Peter Otoole was for sure not shorter than 6 ft 2 at his peak. in his recent pics he still looks close to the 6 ft 2 mark. Mario Nariano says on 7/Sep/05
In fact Dalton is those days the tallest bond actor. He is taller than Brosnan by an inch and he is an half inch taller than Lazenby. Roger Moore still looks over the 6 ft mark. Lazenby was at his peak for sure 6 ft 2. The rumors that he wored lifts when he become Bond are fake.
I saw Connery 6 years ago in Marbella and he still looked tall like 6 ft 2, but i can say that for sure. Mr.K says on 6/Sep/05
As I have said before Mr. Moore is today 181-182 cms. I have met him several times in Stockholm. I have also met Mr. Dalton and I have always claimed that he today is about 183 cms. Maybe he was 185 cm 25 years ago. Mr. Lazenby has never been taller then 186-187 cms. Today he is about 183-184 cms max. THE ONLY BOND ACTOR THAT HAS BEEN 188 cms or 6'2" is SEAN CONNERY. Today Mr. Connery is about 185-186 cms. Please have a look at the photo which "Anonymous" has sent and then forget all your dreams about Mr. Dalton as a 188 cms person. If he was 185 cms 25 years ago that is tall. He don't need to be any taller. Mario Nariano says on 27/Aug/05
I was at the Die Another premiere and Dalton was clearly the tallest.
Rob, why don´t you give Dalton like Eastwood and Connery also his peak height? CelebHeights Editor says on 22/Aug/05
From james bond newsgroup: "Met Dalton years ago, when he was finishing Flash Gordon and he seemed about six foot two or three. I'm six four, so when you meet an actor you look up to, that you don't have to look down at, you remember it." Mr. Klaus says on 3/Aug/05
In the movie gleopatra (1999) Dalton wore sandals and Billy Zane also. Dalton is two inches taller than 6 ft Zane in that movie. That movie proofes that Dalton was in 1999 at least 6 ft 2. J.J says on 28/May/05
Well, for me it's quite simple - in The Living Daylights there is a clear shot of him standing straight right next to Jeroen Krabbe.
He looked exactly 2.5inches taller than Krabbe. So if he is 1.80m (5'11), which I think he is, then 1.87m (6'1.5") is right on the money for Tim.
But then of course, Krabbe could be smaller... Mr Luis says on 22/May/05
I Think that you are the one who can't accept that Dalton was 6'2 at his peak.
As I sayd your are basing your facts about one movie. Robert De Niro looked in Cape Fear like a tall guy of 5'11 but is he that in real life?
Dalton was in 2000 an inch and half (5 cm) taller than Pierce Brosnan and Roger Moore who are 1,83 in my opnion .
Dalton looks the same height or maybe slighty taller than Benicio Del Toro (6'2)
Dalton was in 1969 a little shorter (1 cm or 2 cm) than Peter O Toole (6'3 at that time)
Dalton was in 1969 between 15 and 18 cm taller than Anthony Hopkins
Dalton was in 1987 two inches and half taller than Jeroen Krabbé
My Brother Meeted him in 1994 and he sayd that he looked really tall like 6'3 guy and my brother is exactly 6' ft
Conclusion, Dalton was at least 6'2 ft at his peak. Mr.K says on 22/May/05
Dear Mr. Luis, I don't understand why you can accept the fact that Mr. Dalton never has been 6'2". Of course he is probably shorter today then he was 20 years ago. But please, I have met the man and so have for example Mr.R. Please watch the movie Hawks from 1988 and compare him to Janet 6'1" Mcteer. You will see clearly that Janet is about 2 inches taller then him. Because her heels are a few cms higher I can give him 184 cms in that movie. As a comfort I can say that in my opinion (I have met severals) about 80-90% of all actors listed at 6'2" are actually between 185.5-187 cms. Mr Luis says on 21/May/05
Let me see some pics in wich Brosnan looks taller than Dalton. I have seen pics in wich both actors are standing to each other and Dalton looks an inch and half taller than Brosnan.
Brosnan is 1,84 or maybe even 1,83 and Dalton was in 1995 at least 1,88. Mr.K says on 19/May/05
The picture that J.J is refering to is the picture that all Bond fans use as height chart. I admit that Mr. Dalton looks taller than Mr. Moore and Mr. Brosnan, but it's also a very bad picture angle. Mr. Dalton is standing closer to the camera than Mr. Moore and Mr. Brosnan and this will of course make him look taller. But I agree with J.J that Brosnan probably never has reached 185 cm. If you look you can also find (as our editor also says) pictures where Mr. Brosnan and Mr. Dalton seems to be the same height. You can also find pictures where Mr. Brosnan looks just about 1 cm taller than Mr. Dalton. J.J says on 19/May/05
The Dalton/Edwards poster from 'Hawks' is indeed puzzling, but looking at this link
http://www.klast.net/bond/three.html
Which gives you a good idea of height comparisons for some of the bond actors, I'd say if Dalton really isn't more than 1.84 then that would make Brosnan 5'11 at the MOST. Brosnan is the same height as Moore who must have lost a few cm at his 70+ years! So if Moore was 1.83 and now about 1.81 then Brosnan is NO WAY 1.85 as listed here on Celebheights.
I'd say at the time they played Bond:
Dalton: 1.87cm
Connery: 1.87cm
Moore: 1.83cm
Brosnan: 1.82cm
Mr.K says on 16/May/05
To Mr. Luis
I think you have misunderstood something. Mr. Daltons Bond films are from 1987 and 1989. The movie Hawks is from 1988. He was 44 years old when he did the movie Hawks, 43 years old when he did The Living Daylights and 45 years old when he made License to Kill. In all these movies the same age and the same height. As I said to you before watch the movie Hawks and see for yourself. I have met the man and so has others (if you watch the comments). Mr. Dalton has in my opinion never been taller than 184 cm. You can also watch several other movies with him and you will be convinced that I and many others are right. Concerning Roger Moore I have met him today and he looks like 181-182 cm. My guess is that he was about 183-184 cm when he played James Bond. Pierce Brosnan is today 52 years old and if he does not have some kind of illnes I would say that his height today is about the same as 15 years ago. Perhaps you can add 1 cm and make him about 185 cm at his peak. Mr.K says on 14/May/05
My last comment concerning mr. Dalton. I wonder what Mr. Luis think of the picture with Anthony Edwards standing beside Mr. Dalton. If you should say that Mr. Dalton is the same height as Edwards then you will be the first one. I also recommend you to see the movie Hawks (if you haven't). After seeing that movie nobody can believe that Mr. Dalton is 6'2", especially if you have met him as I have. I will be generous and give him an extra cm because of the fact that it's very hard to determine other peoples height, even if you have met them. Let's say he can be 184 cm. Mr.K says on 13/May/05
I have seen the movie and the shoes Mr. Dalton wears has a heel of about 2-2.5 cm. I would say about the same as Edwards tennis shoes. Mr.K says on 12/May/05
I and friends of mine have met all the Bond actors and here is my list of estimated heights and when I or my friends met the actor:
Roger Moore is about 181-182 cms today. I have met him in Stockholm several times (He is married to a swedish woman)
Sean Connery is about 185-186 cms today. I met him in Spain where he lives.
George Lazenby was about 185-86 cms several years ago. A friend met him in England.
Timothy Dalton is about 183 cms today. I met him in England
Pierce Brosnan is about 183-184 cms today. A friend met him in England Luke says on 12/May/05
he is max. 183 cm! Mr.K says on 11/May/05
I have sent our Editor a picture from the movie "Hawks". The picture is about 15 years old and show Mr. Dalton standing beside Anthony Edwards. Edwards is in my opinion a strong 6'1" but even if he should be 6'2" every person can see the difference in height between these two actors. Mr Luis says on 11/May/05
I have meeted Benicio Del Toro and he looked like 6'2 or maybe 6'2 1/2 (i'm 6'1). In License to Kill (1989) Dalton was exact the same height as Benicio. In the most recent pics Dalton still looks 6'2 ft that he was 15 years ago. There is also a pic of 2000 in wich is standing next to Pierce Brosnan and he looks almost two inches taller than Brosnan (who is supposed to be 6'1). Mr.K says on 10/May/05
Dear Mr. Luis,
As I have mentioned before I have met the man. I'm slightly over 186 cm. We had the same height of shoe heels and I was looking down to Mr. Dalton. I was surprised and later asked my wife and she said that there was a clear difference of about 3 cm. Of course it's hard to determine the exact difference but Mr. Dalton is definitely not more than 184 cms. Mr Luis says on 10/May/05
Timothy Dalton is really 6'2 and Lazenby also. You must compare the Bond actors with the co stars. Ive Timothy Dalton is 6' ft as you say, benicio Del Toro would be also 6'ft and that would make Tim Robbins 6'3 or 6'2 1/2, And Pierce Brosnan would 5'11 Mr.K says on 10/May/05
The only Bond that has been 6'2" is Sean Connery. Today he is almost 75 years old but still 186 cms. Mr.K says on 8/May/05
Mr. Editor is doing a great job and therefore I can't understand why Dalton is listed being 2 inches taller than his correct height. As I have mentioned before I have met the man and he is no more than 183 cms. Also Mr.R has met him and says he is shorter than 6'2" Mr. Luis says on 5/Apr/05
Watch License To Kill, you can see clearly see that he is taller than Benicio Del Toro. Mr. R says on 5/Apr/05
Ahhhh, sweet vindication! Mr.K says on 4/Apr/05
I agree almost completely with Mr.R. I have met the man and now in his sixties he is probably no more than 183 cms. I have also seen him play against Anthony Edwards in the movie "Hawks" and Edwards seems to be at least 3-4 cms taller. This movie is about 17-18 years old and I'm pretty sure that Dalton never has reached more than 6 feet. If you search for "Hawks" and look at the front cover you will understand what I mean. Mr. Luis says on 4/Apr/05
In License to Kill he looked yust a litte taller than Benicio Del Toro.
He must be 6.2 1/2 Mr. R says on 12/Mar/05
I saw Timothy Dalton at the Actor's Fund benefit a few years ago. He walked past me, and I believe that he is 6'1". I was stunned that he wasn't as tall as he looks. He was also very old looking, with wrinkles, age spots, and he was balding! |
