Not when I saw and spoke with Connery in 1999. He was about six feet. Never saw Bale in person so I can't comment. But remember that judging heights watching movies is not really a very accurate method. I've been on many film sets.
Think of it this way. The average frame of a movie has an aspect ratio of 1.85-1. It's shaped more like a letterbox. Some films are exhibited in 2.35-1 which is wider. So you're a cameraman. You look into the reflex finder and notice that given the shooting angle the director wants, there's no way to keep two actor's heads in the frame. To fix this, one actor is elevated using perhaps a board or even a box. This really has nothing to do with trying to make a short actor appear tall. It has to do with framing.

Peter O'Toole was at his peak, 6'1". Kennedy was 6'4". No question. But Caine was 6'1". I worked on a film he did called GET CARTER. His publicity sheet read 6'1". In person he looked to be two inches taller than me. I can buy Hackman at 6'2". He's tall. Connery could have been 6'2" when he was young, but today he barely makes it to an even 6'.

Connery:6ft2.5 peak, 6ft2 now.
Hackman:6ft2.5 peak, 6ft2 now.
Kennedy:6ft4.5 peak, 6ft4 now.
O'toole:6ft3 peak, 6ft2 now.
Just a couple of elderly actors who I think have maintained most of their height.

I have it on DVD. In some shots there's hardly any difference and I mean wide angles where we can see their feet. Martin isn't wearing lifts. In other shots, Caine does look about two inches taller. Split the difference.

Yes, I did. One day when I was in Beverly Hills I spotted him in a posh men's store. I walked up and said hell. He was nice, but loaded! I mean really three sheets to the wind! He looked to me at that time to be my height, possibly slightly taller. This was back in the early 1990s so he could have lost some height. I think his peak was somewhere between 6' and 6'1". At the time he was living in the Beverly Wilshire Hotel.

I met Connery back when he starred in ENTRAPMENT at Fox. At that time he was around 69 years old and looked like he was 6' or an inch taller than me. I think 6'1" to 6'2" peak height.

That`s good that you are back Frank 2. In your opinion how tall was Sean Connery in his youth? 6ft seems correct for Michael.

Never go by what an actor says or his publicity claims. Back when Caine came to Hollywood, he stated when he met Anthony Quinn, he towered over him and was surprised how short he was. That's bull 'cause Quinn was at least 6' possibly 6'1".

This is pretty close. He has described himself as hitting 6-2 at 14 years old. He has definitely lost an inch or so.

I'd say he had an inch tops on 6'0" Christian Bale in the Dark Knight. You get a good shot of them as they walk out of the "secret chamber" later in the movie. It alway surprises me what a small frame Bale has, he definately doesn't fit the mesomorphic bodytype of the stereotypical batman. He's more of an ectomorph who tried to bulk up a bit

On every photo from the premiere of The Dark Knight Chrisitan Bale looks shorter than Caine. Therefore, it's reasonable to give sir Michael Caine 6'1.

In "Billion Dollar Brain" Michael Caine (probably his peak height) looks slightly shorter than Karl Malden (stated at 6'1") in most scenes. In "Birdman of Alcatraz" Karl Malden (probably HIS peak height) looks shorter than Burt Lancaster (also stated at 6'1"). Of course, it's anyone's guess how high the heels were.

I was watching Dirty Rotten Scoundrels the other day and Martin is only 1 to 1.5 inches shorter, and in some scenes Martin has converse type pumps on. In many scenes you can see them full length and often caine has the heel advantage. I can't see how Caine was 6ft 2, I think he boasted his height by 1 inch.

I think Nicole is bang on the money. Caine never looked 6'2" to me. He did a film with Christopher Reeve and he looked 3 inches shorter. I believe he was 6'1". He looked an inch taller than Cage (5'11")in Weatherman so he's probably shrunk down to 6'.

For me Michael was never 6ft2inch tall, because he is always smaller in the films and photos then Sean Connery half inch. So for Michael 6ft 1inch and for Sean 6ft 1.5 inch peak height.But yes it`s very difficult to find the true. Both are tall.

Caine looks 6'1 max nowadays. Looks 6'0.5-6'1 next to Fraser and also next to 6'2 Clive Owen.he looked 6'1 next to Owen,but Owen had slippers so caine had half an inch advantage over him.That puts him at 6'0.5 again.Im sure Caine was 6'1.5 back at peak,rounding up to 6'2 and now rounding up to 6.1.Pretty much like Brosnan is doing.6'0.5 during Bond. That makes me question Jude Law again,since caine had at elast 2 inches on him.Law might be 5'10.5

Interesting picture Gonzalo. Personally to me Caine looks 6'2" next to Jmaes Stewart and Wayne, what also is interesting is the fact that Lee Marvin looks 6'3" next to Clint, and Mitchum looks 6'2". A very tall ensemble of actors in that picture. On the subject of Jackman though, if you go on Michael Caines official website, there are several pictures where he is the same as Jackman. I still believe Michael is touching the 6'2" mark.

People are forgetting that most men in their mid 70's have a stoop, it is quite obvious with Caine. Even with the stoop he looks 6'1+, this is evident in The Prestige opposite Jackman at 6'2.5", and 6ft Bale. In a couple of shots where Caine straightens up he is virtually the same as Jackman, with no more than half an inch between them.
Also on the extras of Zulu, James Booth commented that Caine was very tall, this coming from a 6'2" guy himself, if Caine was 6'1", I doubt that Booth would say that he was very tall. Was a genuine 6'2", and I think there is a good chance he still is.

Yeah, I think Caine was atleast 6-2 in the 80s (if not taller). I just watching "The Hand" and he literally looked gigantic. If someone asked me to guess his height in the film id of said 6-3 atleast.

It is a pity Frank2 doensn´t post anymore. He made interesting comments. But he was a little bit haughty; he had a hard time accepting other people`s point of view. Anyway, take care, Frank2, I will miss your contribution to the site.
Refering to Caine, I stick to 1`87 in his youth and 1`85 nowadays

I was never to sure about Frank2 myself, tubbs. While his statements sometimes seemed a bit far fetched he also appeared to have a lot of insider knowledge about the stars. Was he for real, I don't know. As for Caine he was certainly a tall man. At least 6'1'' and maybe 6'2'' as he himself states. I've seen a photo of him in a John Wayne book where there a number of stars such as Clint Eastwood, Rock Hudson, Lee Marvin and of course Wayne himself. Caine looks a fair bit shorter than Wayne, Eastwood and Hudson all of whom were 6'4'' and Hudson maybe even taller. He also appears shorter than 6'2'' Lee Marvin in the photo although it is hard to be sure as they are not standing next to each other. Maybe Frank2 was right about Caine being 6'1'' afterall.

Brett, is right, in the early 90s Caine did still look a legitimate 6 ft 2.
The last 5 years it seems that Caine has losed some height.

Back when I worked on Get Carter (the original, not the crappy remake) I asked the fellow who was working on it with me who had been on the set how tall Caine was and he said 6'1". Then I read it in several publications. In fact I remember Caine himself saying in some interview that when he worked with Anthony Quinn who he had thought of as being at least 6'3" he was quite surprised to discover that Quinn was slightly shorter than him and Caine stated he was about 6'1". Then within the last few years I've started seeing Caine listed as being 6'2". Maybe in twenty more years he'll be listed at 6'4" and then a new batch of goofballs with more time on their hands than they should have like all of us will be arguing that he was just 6'2".
I can tell you that when he did Dirty Rotten Scoundrels he was only an inch to an inch and a half taller than 5'11" Steve Martin who I've met and can confirm his height without reservation. We were eye-to-eye the same height.

In that movie with him and Steven Segal, He really doesnt seem more then 1.5 - 2inches max shorter then Segal, although he has visibly large heels on throughout the whole movie. Im sure he was 6'2" back in the day

Caine always looks tall in his movies. I guess he was around 1`87 when he was young and I think he hasn`t shrunk much. He must be 1`85 nowadays.

Wich doctor in the world is gonna measure a guy with shoes on? And it's strange that they measure the other guys without shoes, but Connery with shoes, especialy for such important contest. And it's funny that Connery looks 2 inches taller than a guy who is at least 6 ft.
hmmmm, are you serious?

McFly, do you think that poeple is stupid?
He was measured by the doctors of the Mr Universe Contest, they are always accurate in those places, even by 0.1 inch.

Connery was measured at 6 ft 2.5, so face it, you can´t negate this.
Connery looks old in the most recent pics but he is still over 6 ft 1, probably 6 ft 1.5
And I agree with Brett that Caine nowedays for sure not under the 6 ft 1 mark.

The camera is at Caine's favor in some scenes and also in some scenes it's at Connerys favor. Still there are some scenes wich are good, and wich Connery is slighty taller than Caine and both are standing next to each other.
a 6 ft height for Connery is funny..

Frank, i watched The Man Who Would be King recently, and Connery is between 1/2 to 1 inch taller than Caine. The only scenes where Caine appears taller is where Connery is wearing very thin soled sandals, and Michael is in army boots. Theres no denying Michael was 6'2" peak height, it just leads me to beleive that Sean was the 6'2.5 possibly 6'3" that he's been listed as over the years.

I think that Caine rounded himself up when he was young. I watched last night The Man who would be a king and he looks 2/3 cm shorter than Sean Connery who was at that time 189 cm! So I say 187 cm was probably is peak height.

Caine doesn't look 6'2 anymore, but he's still tall at 6'1.

Yes, at his peak Caine was 6'2" - an inch shorter than his good buddy Sean Connery as you can see in their great film "The Man Who Would Be King". Interestingly though, Michael only seems to have lost an inch in his old age compared to Sean who's lost two. So they're both now the same height at 6'1".

...if Ewan would really be 5'10'' or 5'11'' Michael wouldn't have said him in the list of short guys...It really doesn't make any sence that he'd be more than 5'9'' same goes for Colin Farrell...

This is an old quote from the WENN by Michael Caine: "I think Ewan McGregor, Stephen Dorff, Joaquin Phoenix, Ryan Phillippe and Tobey Maguire are wonderful actors. There are many other fine actors in Hollywood. But... I've never seen a tall one. It seems to me that there's a generation of very talented small people... maybe they are more ambitious because they are more angry because they are short"

In most pics of the 70 and also in the movie The man who would be a king, he looked like an inch smaller than Connery, but maybe was Connery 6'3 as some poeple say.
