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
just watched the informant, dalton looked about 3 inches taller than 5'11 cary elwes Dave says on 13/Mar/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
I saw Tim in a film with Brendan Fraser (6'3) and there was little difference in height. ken says on 18/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 ..
Click Here Editor Rob says on 16/Jun/07
I capped his mugshot (and Mcann/Freeman/Cranam) from Hot Fuzz.
Click Here Anonymous says on 15/Jun/07
As others have stated looks about 6'2'' in Hot Fuzz. Tall guy. Fox says on 16/May/07
he looked bout 6'1 in hot fuzz.... 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. Viper says on 29/Mar/07
There has been rumors he wears lifts. He did look 2 inches shorter in that photo with 6-2 Anthony Edwards. bokhari says on 27/Mar/07
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. Viper652 says on 13/Nov/05
Then how come Dalton looks a good deal shorter then 6-1-6-2 Anthony Edwards in Hawks, and in the promo pics?? He looks no more then 6-0 there.
[Editor Rob: I think his character is supposed to have dodgy posture?] 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] Viper652 says on 6/Oct/05
I think we can all agree that Tim is 6-0 barefoot now. 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! Viper652 says on 19/Sep/05
If dalton is really 6-2 then why does he look considerably shorter in that 80s pic with 6-1 to 6-2 Anthony Edwards?? He looks 6-0 there. 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. Viper652 says on 9/May/05
If hes 6 foot even, then no Bond has ever been over 6-1. Lazenby's true height is 6-1 also 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! |
