I'd say he has 5" max on Glenn so 6'1".
Even considering his slouch he looks very similar in height to Bruce Willis who also doesn't exactly have Stallone or Pitt posture.

I think he's dropping at least a good inch if not more with his posture. Not sure on glenn's posture though. He looks about 5'11.5 - 6'0 with a big slouch, if he would stand straight, he'd look 6'1 - 6'1.5.

just because 6'2 is phycollogically the coolest height, cool actors arent alway going to be this height. glenn is 5'7.5 himself. Image in if glenn was 5'2.5 would you say gerard is 5'9? no. Hes more under 6'2 in the morning and probobly settles to around 6'1 good guess rob

Next to Glenn looks like 6', possibly a bit over, lets say somewhere between 6 and 6'1.( 6'2 (depend on this pic)= no way. Just look at the Sean Kingston pic with Glenn,thats a real 6'2.)

I just worked with Gerard on his new movie Law Abiding Citizen. I am 6'2.5" Gerard was a bit smaller then myself. Solid 6'2" One thing he does, it lean alot on one knee during while his pictures are being taken. So solid 6'2" for him no doubt. And another note, Bruce Willis, is known to have his wardrobe made to fit the shoes he wears to make him an inch or so taller. Same principal with Stallone, and Paul Walker. Do not be fooled.

Apo...I was referring to ROSSIF SUTHERLAND, not Donald!!!! You are confused: didn't you ever watch "Timeline"??? And...since "The Fast and Furious" is coming out soon, look at Paul Walker with Vin...he's a definite six foot three. I say that the Ger is six foot two. Emily Mortimer in "Dear Frankie" with Gerry thought he was six foot four..even though she's five foot eight. She thought he was huge. She wrote an interview for "Interview" magazine about him. Also, he was the cover story in the New York Times Style magazine a few years ago: the writer of the article described him as "very tall." That would apply to a six foot two guy...not just a six foot one.

Yeah, I'd say he is around 6 ft 2. He was around 7 inches taller than 5'7" Emmy from Phantom of the Opera.

This guy looks near 6ft2. 186cm is the minimum. More likely 187cm. 188cm is a bit of a stretch. Perhaps out of bed Butler is 6ft2?

liz, donald sutherland was 6'5 during the 70's. Now he's listed 6'2 here, at most 6'3, just an update. An if you believe blindly to Walker's claim of 6'3, than what r u doing on this site? The whole point of this site is to determine the real barefoot height of celebrities, putting their claim to the test.

Did any of you see this handsome tall man as a presenter at the Golden Globes? The microphone (which I measured with a ruler)..was higher for him than for almost anybody else, except for S. Baron Cohen. He is 6'2"...and as for the comment made about Paul Walker in "Timeline," Paul Walker says that he himself is six-foot three!!! Gerard is only a little shorter. The guy who played Francois in that movie, a Sutherland, is supposedly six-foot five..so everyone looked smaller next to him. The girl who played Kate is five-foot eight..use that asa reference.

well than glenn if you're so sure about the actor's heights, why are Willis and Farrell listed at least 1 inch shorter on your site and on every other site in the internet.
Besides, I don't want to offend you, but you cannot be sure about a height (100%) if you haven't measured people exactly.
Appearances can be deceiving. Especially if you are shorter.
And please, please show me a pic where Stallone looks taller than 5'9.
Good night folks.

Glenn is right, so many people here including myself at times have stubbornly downgraded heights for their own liking! It took me a while to see that I was actually just being obstinate for personal reasons, and the kicker was I hadn't even met these people like Glenn had. It's not to say we can't all disagree, but those who have real proof like a pic with a celeb and a personal encounter to recount, are the ones to be taken seriously. Everything else is pure spectulation. Granted when you meet someone you're still playing the guessing game, but it's not like it's from a DVD still or a magazine picture.
As for Butler, I'd say Glenn and Rob have him at a good safe estimate of 6ft1 or a bit more. It'll be cool to see that pic soon!

Hugh, you seem to upgrade every actor on this page. More than half the time people exaggerate with their height,(typical height inflation, and especially actors. You can almost take 2cm from every actor's claim of height. actors always want to reach an image of perfection (height included).
In addition to that you have many pics with butler where he just look 6ft most. (pic with zack ephron, willis and raoul ...)
These pics are at least enough to be suspicious about the 6ft 1,25 in.
My personal analysis:
- looked the same height as Tom Wilkinson in RocknRolla (6'1)
- 2cm on Raoul (181cm)
- 3cm taller than Bruce Willis who is rumored to be 5'11
- 1,5 in on Colin Farrell who is likely shorter than 5'10 but probably wearing his cowboy boots.
- looked near 5'11 in Timeline next to Paul Walker.
May I just say that he didn't look any bit taller than his Captain in 300 who's listed here as 6ft flat.
Conclusion: This guy is tall but 184cm is the absolute Max I give him. I tend to say he's 6ft.

Actually, when looking on the pictures with Zac Efron...he looks way shorter. Zac Efron is what?...5'8"? Hard to see 5.25 inches between them, even if gerard butler is slouching etc. Now that I think of it, I have never seen this guy a 6'1.25 guy...His head is pretty small which makes him look taller, but that's it. He might be close to 6' tbh.

He's going to be in "The Ugly Truth" with Katherine heigl..She's at least 5'9"(a big girl)...and in the trailer for this probably darling film, she has on 3-4" heels and they're dancing together: Butler is inches taller. I still say he's six-foot-two. And for Brosnan? Doesn't he always wear boots wtih big heels? He's shorter than Butler, I'm sure.

When I read the comments, I see that more and more people write that they are not convinced butler being 6'1 let alone 6'2, and the same people tries to reply the same way. OK so he is handsome and good actor, could be much better fit for bond than craig no doubt. But he simply does not look 6'2 at all. Consider legit 6'2 guys like hugh jackman, bana, hartnett, etc.. saying that butler is the same height as these guys is simply ridiculous...

You cannot tell from pictures. Go to gerardbutler.net right now...to the gallery for the Toronto Film Festival. 6'2" Butler is standing next to John Malkovich...Gerard towers over him, and Malkovich is supposed to be six feet even. Then they have a picture of tiny Zach Eprhon(sp?) with Gerard, and he's almost the same height..he must be standing on a step or two above! I still say that Butler is very tall..

Rob, from various photos with 5'11 Bruce Willis and 5'11.25 Raoul Bova. Do you think you can move Gerry down to 6ft 0.5in. I think his long/fit body gives us the perception of him being taller but, the photos can't lie. So, Rob can you possibly make a change?

Was around while shooting film in Vancouver in 06. This guy is well over 6 feet tall. Just because the height inflation thing is prevalent doesn't make it absolute. He's easily 6'2" I met and spoke directly with him on several occasions over the weekend. What is surprising is how slim he is.

I just saw him in person two days ago. My first though was that he was actually kind of short... like around 5'10, but he was slouching. When he straightened up he looked to be about 6' even maybe a half an inch more or so.

Apo that's true!
I have some actor friends and I've heard the same thing. Height inflation is very common in order to boost the larger then life presence these stars have to maintain. It seems that 5ft8-5ft9 guys become 5ft10-5ft11 when picked up by agencies, 5ft10 guys are labeled 6ft, and so on. A guy I know who's an actor is 6ft tops, and he's listed at 6ft2 on his specs. Rarely are stars exactly what they claim. Too bad Glenn isn't around, maybe he could have got us a pic and some first hand insight into Butler's height!!

Thanks Ed, the "height inflation" is not always the fault of the celebs. I personally know that when you go to some agency, they tend to list you at least 1" or more inflated. For example my cousin is a male model, he is 5'11" exactly, and the agency told him he could pull off 6'1" with decent footwear, because people cannot tell the difference when you are on the runway so he is listed 6'1. For the actors as well, the "aimed" height is 6'2 especially if you are around 6' (they also tried for chris bale etc..) I believe this guy is another example, may be he is joking about it because the agency asked him to be 6'2 like my cousin..

I just looked at Stellan Skarsgard's height at 6'3...and he's with Gerard in "Beowulf and Grendel." It has them standing, wlaking together..and Gerard is just a little shorter. So i stand with Gerard being a strong 6'2"...In "Shattered" (aka "Butterfly on a Whell")...Pierce Brosnan is wearing his boots with heels, and Gerard is at least the same height.

Good post Apo!
I still think Butler is only 6ft0.25-6ft0.5, and 6ft2 with shoes. In my opinion I believe the majority of celebs quoted heights, are their with shoes heights with some inflation. Rarely do celebs or their publicists tell the truth about their height. It's similar with pro athletes, especially basketball players who get the with shoes bump. Then there are wrestlers and we all know how fabricated their images are!

if you are 6' or slightly above, u'll look tall next to %80 of people especially with clever footwear, but if you are really 6'2 (like jackman or bana or harnett), u should be noticed among the crowd, now if u have watched 300, especially the fight scenes, butler is above average like a full 6' but no where near dominant as a true 6'2 should be. he looks 1" taller than david wenham listed 5'11 here. and there's no evidence of him being 6'2 other than subjective movie impressions, but plenty of evidence (photos with 5'11 or 6' guys) that suggests a 6' frame.

going back to the blurb at the top when Gerry said, you'd "better ask my publicist..." is a typical Gerry joke! He is always kidding around, and he thinks he is being funny; his publicist and manager tell him to stop just saying things like that because less imaginative folks think he is being literal. For Example, when he was being mentioned as possibly the next James Bond, the Scottish press asked him if he'd do the role. He was again beaing Gerry-funny, and said that he would if politician Anne Whiticomb would be his Bond girl. Anne Whiticomb is a old balding, fat woman..he was being ironic. However, the Scottish press then printed an article saying that he would do the role. Now, back to his height: watch the celebrated British mini-series "The Jury"..Gerard towers over all other 11 jurors..Watch him with co-starring women who are tall...In "Game" coming out on Nov. 30, 2008, his character is married to Amber Valetta, a 5'10" model/actress...This art shots of them together, and he towers above her. I believe he is six feet two... He has also just finished the filming of "The Ugly Truth" with tall Katherine Heigl..they put him in movies with tall women because he is taller!

he may be sexy but he is no where close to 6'2". if he were even 6'1, he could pull it off with clever footwear but come on. i watched 300 yesterday and he looks around 6'0.5 to be honest. in the only scene where you can argue is when he speaks to the persian ambassador in the beginning (a true 6'2 guy), and you can only see their head, and i believe this is for a reason..

I say he's 6'0.25'' at most, barefoot. I can state that with no doubt as we've got mutual friends and it's happened to go out clubbing together a couple of times. He's way more handsome in the flesh than how he appears on screen (despite some deep wrinkles on his forehead) but he's definitely shorter than 6'2''. I've read that somebody hinted 6'3''.... Now, that's quite hilarious. Thank you for the laughs. ;)

this guy is no where near 6'2, in all the picz with many different celebs, he looked 6' over and over again, I don't understand why so many people insist on 6'2. You don't lose 2 -3' by posture, and he does not have very bad posture anyway. People look very different in films because of speacial effects, all 6'2 defenders are talking about movies where the directors may distort the images at will, ignoring the conclusive pictures with willis, bova, farrell etc. some people even claim since he looks like a god he is 6'2. So a god should be at least 6'2?
That's ridiculous, this guy is a 6' may be 6'0.5 on a good day, nothing more.

In those pictures with Colin F.... I think that Colin is standing on a step..Gerard is much taller. Also, Jason may be on a step on a stairs, too...One of Gerard's directors said , "He looks like a god..." Yes, his great eyes and presence might show that, but to be a "god"..one must be tall, as well. In "P/S. I Love You" with tall Hillary Swank, he towered over her. Also, he's now going to make a movie with K. Heigl (5'9"z)..and you'll see that even with her in heels, he'll be inches taller. In an interview a few years back in NYTIMES Style Magazine, the interviewer remarked at how tall Gerard was, and she was surprised since most actors seem to be , in actual fact, shorter than six feet. Look at Gerard in "Attila" (on dvd, now), and he towered over his five-foot eight Australian co-star by mucho!

Those photos with Colin and Jason are tilted. It's normal to do that to get a better composition, to compensate some height difference.
My brother is a photographer and he told me he do that all the time. Just take a close look at the background and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Rest assured Anonymous, I already saw that picture with Willis since I posted it.
But one or two photo are never enough to finish a case.
There are plenty of other photos showing him being at least 6ft1. Just take a look at 300 premiere with Santoro.
I would say 6ft0.5 or 6ft1, I don't know.

I still say 6ft0.5 barefoot, near 6ft2 depending on the footwear. This makes perfect sense when comparing him to Willis at 5ft11.5. The 6ft2 claim is a with shoes number in my opinion.

The only way to explain pictures of him with actors like Willis, Leno and that football player, is that he is around 6'0 - 6'1. I dont see him being shorter or taller than this.

Butler might be pushing 6ft1, but I still don't think he's a full 6ft2. As for 300 he wore sandals, but if you look with a closer eye on the dvd docs. they are retrofitted with a good inch sole for all the running around and jumping he had to do. They couldn't give the guy a regular pair of flip flops with a next to nothing sole and have him taking in part in tons of grueling action shots. I for one saw a good 2 inch difference between Butler and Santoro in the premiere pics and onset candids, as well as him being shorter than the tall African American actor(6ft3, can't remember his name yet but I'll find it, he was also in Hidalgo) who plays the Persian messenger that gets kicked down the well.
As for Joel Schumacher the Phantom of the Opera director, I wouldn't trust his words alone, not to mention there are pics of the two of them together online at the Cannes film festival where Schumacher is a good 2 inches taller.
As for Paul Walker(6ft2) in Timeline, Walker wears converse all-stars with maybe a 0.5in heel next to Butler in 1.25-1.5 in heeled hiking boots and Walker is still taller. Walker is pushing 6ft2, maybe more like 6ft1.5 and unlike a lot of actors consistently wears flat soled shoes in movies and still looks way taller than most of the cast.
I will agree Butler can look 6ft2, but that is with boots on. I can't see him as barefoot 6ft2 and 6ft3 or more with boots. He does look tall in Dracula 2000, Dear Frankie, Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life, and Beowulf and Grendel but he was also wearing boots in all these pics. I'd still say 6ft0.5 and near 6ft2 with boots on. The Raoul Bova(5ft11.25) pics where he's wearing sneakers instead of boots still say a lot in my opinion as does the MTV movie awards footage with Bruce Willis.

The Raoul Bova(5ft11.25) pics where he's wearing sneakers instead of boots still say a lot in my opinion as does the MTV movie awards footage with Bruce Willis.

I think Gerard IS 6'2"...He is at least as tall as Powers Booth in "Attila"...Did you ever see him in "A YOung Person's Guide to Becoming A Rock Star"? It's a UK mini-series that was one of his first acting gigs in the late nineties...he's so long-legged and heads taller than everyone else in the picture. Joel Schumacher, the director of "Phantom of the Opera" said of him in People magazine: "He looks like a god, but he's a goofball." Now, Joel is way over six feet (6'3"?)..and a fellow who's just six feet couldn't look "like a god." Also, when you have Rodrigo Santoro and Gerard standing next to each other in sandals (in one of the dvd extras that came with the dvd in FYE stores)...they're the same height exactly...no elevators for either of them. Also in the recent "Shattered" (aka Butterfly on a Wheel)on TNT last week, he was running and running in the movie, and one could see the long legs and extention...he's definitely more than just six feet. In 2005, in the NYTIMES style magazine (he was on the cover),the journalist stated that unlike most actors who are shorter in person, "Gerard was very tall." Now, would a reporter say that if the actor was just six feet? And as others have said, Gerard always seems to tell the truth (even about his reckless youth)..so I believe him when he says he is "6'2".

If he's the height listed above, then Paul Walker is a little shorter. Watch Timeline, Paul is what 6 feet?

He looked like a solid 6'2 in "300", especially while battling the Persians. Either that, or they used smaller actors to play the roles of the Persians.

Yes, I agree qwerty.
In Dracula 2000 he did look something like 6ft3. But in 300, no more than 6ft0.5.

He didn't look even remotely tall in 300. If I had to guess, I'd say around 6'0.5".

Butler received an award on the MTV Movie Awards last week from Bruce Willis and Justin Long. When Butler took the stage he greeted Willis with an up close handshake/man hug and he looked to have 1 inch max on Willis. Butler was wearing what appeared to be normal dress shoes, and Willis had on casuals and wasn't looking exceptionally tall only a few inches taller than Long(5ft9). I think this once again shows Butler is looking more like 6ft0.5, not 6ft1.5 or 6ft2 like he claims. If Willis is only 5ft11.5, like I said Butler had an inch on him not 2 or more. I really think 6ft2 is a with shoes height claim! After all wearing boots or thick soled casual shoes at 6ft0.5 barefoot, you'd be near 6ft2 and no one would dispute that.

Boxing Fighter I agree Butler can look tall, he accepted an award last night at the Taurus World Stuntman Awards and he looked pretty tall up on the stage. I just don't get Bova then. Most male actors under but near 6ft usually round up, not round down! If Bova is more like 5ft11.75 why round down, unless it's just an innacurate listing. Still 0.5in is all we are different on, if you think Butler's 6ft1 which he might be. I'm just sticking with 6ft0.5 until hopefully Glenn gets a pic. 6f0.5 barefoot with 1.25-1.5in dress shoes and you're near 6ft2 while accepting an award on stage, or wearing 1.5 in boots in public and or movies and you're near 6ft2 again.

Yeah MD, I agree with you.
I don't think that Bova would lie about being smaller.
Maybe that "5ft11.25" is not official, or maybe Butler isn't that tall.
I don't think that Butler could be taller than 6ft1 either.
But I saw that Butler likes to bend in pictures with smaller persons.
I think he likes to appear friendly instead of keeping that arrogant military posture (like some famous actors usually do).

I've seen those pics before Boxing Fighter, and they prove that there's no way that Bova can be 5ft11.25 and Butler 6ft1.5. Someone is lying here! Bova has to be either closer to 6ft and Butler is topping out at 6ft0.5 max, or Butler is 6ft flat! Good pics, they show it's not a fluke. It's not one isolated incident with a distorted picture, but several pics over a day on level ground standing shoulder to shoulder. He's also similarly matched with the 5ft11.5 listed Joseph Fiennes. I don't see a 2 inch difference there, or a 2.25 inch difference with Bova?

Good pics Boxing Fighter, Butler is definitely looking more like 6ft0.5! I thought he was legitimately 6ft2 once, but I'm more and more suspecting he's only 6ft0.5. I see Leno as 5ft11 and around 6ft or so in shoes, and Butler only looked to be about an inch or so more every time he's come on the Tonight Show. If Leno is only 5ft10 like a lot of people think around here, then Butler would be even shorter which I don't see.

It's not a bit much if you consider a lot of celebs could very well use their with shoes height as their official height. 6ft0.5 barefoot with 1-1.5 inch heeled shoes and your 6ft2 or pushing it. As for lifts, I don't know about that other than he has worn boots in a lot of his movie roles with the exception of 300. I've referenced the movie Timeline several times, and in it he wears hiking boots and strangely looks shorter than the listed 6ft2 Paul Walker by about an inch, who's wearing 0.5 in heeled converse all-stars. If Walker was 6ft2.5 in his shoes that would put Butler at 6ft3 easy in hiking boots standing 6ft1.5 barefoot. Yet Walker is the one who's taller by an inch? Something is off there, Butler has to be shorter than listed. I thought Butler was taller and close to the 6ft2 mark, but I'm seriously doubting it now.

I really can't see how Butler shorter than 6ft0.5.
His photos with Santoro can easily prove that.
Santoro is (with almost no doubt) 6ft2, Butler appears to be 1" or 1.5" (max!!) smaller than him. I think that Butler is something between 6ft0.5 and 6ft1.
That picture with Bova can be easily explained if we all agreed that Butler is not 6ft1.5.

That seems like a bit much. He'd have to be a regular lift wearer to get routinely described as being legitimately tall (6'2"+).

Viper, I'm with you on this one! Glenn saw Brosnan at under 6ft1 in person, and in the pics with Butler they are very evenly matched. Just look at the pics of Butler with McgGregor at 5ft9.5(could be smaller) and he looks all of 3 inches taller. 6ft0.5 is still my guess for Butler, and I wouldn't rule out he could be a bit less.

Glenn saw Brosnan at under 6ft1,and I agree with that estimate. 6ft0.5-6ft.075 barefoot, and 6ft1.75-6ft2 with shoes. If wearing heeled boots that number can vary. I've always thought that a lot of celeb heights are with shoe estimates. There are a lot of legit tall actors, and yeah Lee may have been 6ft5 but has shrunk a lot now, looking 6ft2.5. There's pics from the premieres of Revenge of the Sith in which he still looks 6ft3ish with a good 1.5-2 inches on Samuel L.Jackson. At the end of the day these are all photos or film clips which can be horribly deceiving. Slanted sidewalks, distorted perspective, directors trying to make their stars look taller with enhanced camera angles, and the infamous shoe lifts. Only with a credible eyewitness or meeting these people in person will there be true accurate estimates imo.
I see Butler as the same as Brosnan, 6ft0.5-6ft0.75 barefoot. Maybe I'm wrong, but until I run into either of them or Glenn sees Butler and says he looked 6ft2, I'm not changing my mind. Glenn saw Brosnan as under 6ft1, I'll go with that.

Lee has also been seen as taller than that, even at 85 he's maintained excellent posture. But those Brosnan/Lee films were 14-17 years ago, not recent. Neeson may be a terrible sloucher but again Glenn was not discounting that when giving his height and measuring Liam against himself, and it still doesn't account for how Brosnan is clearly more than 3 inches taller than 5'10 (according to Glenn) Gabriel Byrne.
Famke is not as tall as Brosnan in that scene, if you watch she gets up on her toes and practically climbs him, it's not a stationary flat footed scene. She's not in flats in Goldeneye, you can see her shoes and boots not only in the film but several publicity shots, they're at least 2 1/2 inch heels (as in the casino scene). They wanted her to look tall and impressive, no one was hiding her height - at least not next to Brosnan. They did try a bit (with various camera angles and sitting/standing) next to Sean Bean who when in her heels she has at least 3 inches on, as does Brosnan over Bean. Anyhow this is the Butler board and we're way off topic.
In regards to Butler and Brosnan, again you're completely discounting Brosnan's wife in those photos as well as a multitude of other photos. She's over 5'8 and Brosnan is easily more than 5 inches taller than her.

Lee has been seen at 6ft2.5-6ft3 tops these days, the man is 85 so it's understandable! Lee refers to himself at 6ft4, but he did look taller when younger. Neeson is a terrible sloucher with his shoulders always rounded over, and it's possible he's lost a bit of height to, not much but maybe a 0.5in. BTW wasn't Brosnan virtually the same height in the sauna scene with 5ft11.5 Famke Jansen. there's no doubt when she wears heels she is very tall, but she wears flats in most movies,ie. Rounders.
I still think Butler and Brosnan are 6ft0.5-6ft.075 tops.

Brosnan was wearing dress shoes at that event as other photos show. Besides, Glenn didn't say Brosnan was wearing boots and hence deducted the heels from his height-- just that to him Brosnan looked slightly under 6'1, Byrne at 5'10 and Neeson at 6'4. Looking at the multitude of photos from the same night, Brosnan looked easily more than 3 inches taller than Byrne and closer to Neeson's height than Byrne's which would put him over 6'1 and mean Glenn's estimates were off that night.
Brosnan was in Around The World in 80 days ('80s) and Death Train with Lee (ealry '90s). There was a photo of them in Death Train together that used to be posted on the Brosnan page. Lee is also listed at 6'5 and the man still has lost little from his peak.

Anonomoose, I'm not picking and choosing my heights for my argument. I just looked at the Brosnan/Neeson/Bryne pic and Brosnan does look quite tall. But, Neeson rarely stands as straight as Brosnan and I'm willing to bet Brosnan was wearing some serious boots. You're much more up on Brosnan than I am, so which was the film Brosnan starred in w/Christopher Lee. In TMWTGG I saw Moore as tops 6ft1 to Lee's 6ft4. Lee had him by a good 3 maybe more inches. Moore wore a lot of higher heeled boots in the 70's Bond flicks adding to his height and slim frame. Brosnan loves the heels as well, always wearing some kind of boot.
It might be hard to judge 0.5 to 1 inch in person, but all I know is Glenn met Brosnan and Ford and Frank2 met Ford and Connery. Glenn saw Brosnan and pegged him at under 6ft1, he saw Ford at 6ft1, whereas Frank2 saw Connery at 6ft1 and Ford at 6ft. Conflicting numbers, mean these heights are somewhere near or in between!
Anonomoose, I'm not picking and choosing my heights for my argument. I just looked at the Brosnan/Neeson/Bryne pic and Brosnan does look quite tall. But, Neeson rarely stands as straight as Brosnan and I'm willing to bet Brosnan was wearing some serious boots.

It seems to be a matter of picking and choosing what to believe -- or rather ignoring all those photos and heights of other celebrities and people when they don't conform to a held belief. There are a multitude of conflicting photos and reports, especially where the Bond actors are concerned.
Brosnan at the AFI stood taller next to Ford (and a couple of other people at the same event) than Connery did, which would make him taller than Connery is now. He's also taller than Moore, now by several inches but also seemingly taller when Moore was at his peak when you look at films they both star in against Christopher Lee as well as photos of Brosnan next to his wife Cassie Harris who was in FYEO with Moore. The only photo showing them at the same height is one on a slanted sidewalk. Yet that site has him as shorter than Moore and chooses to cut Brosnan out of the 4 Bonds photo at the 2002 BAFTAS where he towers over Moore.
Glen also pegged Gabriel Byrne at 5'10 and Neeson at 6'4 -- and yet in photos from the same event with him next to all three it's obvious that Brosnan is closer in height to Neeson than Byrne which would make him over 6'1. Glenn also originally thought Craig was 5'11. It goes to show that it's very hard to tell height within an inch even when you're up close, let alone half an inch.

MD, if he's 6ft1.5 barefoot tops, 6ft2.5 to 6ft3 in shoes, what's with the Conan Obrien show? Conan was hunched over and had him by near 3 inches which you can attest to as well. That would make Conan 6ft6 stooped, 6ft7 or more standing up straight, no way!! Butler has to be more like 6ft0.5 barefoot, 6ft1.75-6ft2 w/shoes to Obrien's 6ft5plus. I don't know what to make of this, because I know I'm not seeing things since you saw the same. Anonomoose as for the Eon site, maybe it's a bunch of crap, but it does track with observations of these actors heights. Craig has been downgraded by Rob to 5ft10.25, and most think he's shorter, Connery was seen by Frank2 as 6ft1 in his prime and he also met Harrison Ford which he thought was 6ft no more. As for Brosnan there's pics of him with Ford where he looks marginally taller and close to Connery's height if not shorter, and Glenn pegged him at a little under 6ft1. Even if that site is bogus, it does track pretty well!

Ed, to tell you the truth, I really don't know. I'm seeing more evidence pointing to a 6'0.5"-6'1.5", tops, barefoot, though. This would allow him to look almost or about 6'3" in the 'right' kind of shoes. I just can't see him as a legitimate 6'2" barefoot.

MD, what do you peg Butler at? You saw the Conan show, where he looked at least 3 inches shorter than a stooped Conan. If Obrien is 6ft4 barefoot, 6ft5 with shoes, Butler can't be near 6ft3 w/shoes on. Usually Conan looks shorter at times next to guests, this time he dwarfed a widely regarded tall man while not even standing up straight. Butler at 6ft0.5 makes much more sense. Near 6ft2 w/shoes on to Obrien's 6ft5plus. Between the Bova pic,the Conan show,and The Miracle Match movie I really think this guy is shorter than listed. as for Brosnan, I never bought he was 6ft1.25!

For perspective, there's also the height of Brosnan's wife- Keely Shaye Smith - she's a former model and is supposedly 5'8 1/2 (though I've seen 5'8 for her as well). There she's wearing at least 2 1/2 inch heels (might be 3) which brings her to a minimum 5'10 1/2- 5'11. She's coming up to PB and GB's respective eyelines-- which means they're both standing quite a bit taller than 6'2 with their boots on.

Ed, that info is 1,000,000-1 fan made up baloney. Do you really think EON is releasing official Bond heights, let alone that they're only releasing it to one low level fan site on the net? As if EON would admit Craig was only 5'10 when they've gone out of their way to not only avoid but lie about his height. Pascal the head of Sony laughably said when he was first chosen that he wasn't short that he was as big as Connery. Craig doesn't talk about his height either and this site claims he admits to being 5'10. Yeah right. All the stuff about admissions by all the actors, EON etc looks like pretty much crap pulled out of thin air.

On the Daniel Craig page, Observer on Jan 19, 2007 posted a link to a site that claims all the offical heights for the diff. Bond actors. It says they were measured individually for the production co. Eon which is behind all the Bond films. This site has Brosnan listed at 6ft0.5 barefoot. Throw on a pair of heeled boots like he's wearing in the pic and he'd be 6ft2, which is what he's usually referred to as. Butler looks pretty much the same height as him. I'm really beginning to think Butler is only 6ft0.5, and his height in shoes or boots (6ft2 which is what I always read), is what his publicists list him at.

Not really, the sidewalk is slanted in Butler's favor, especially in that photo -- look at the other photos from the same set and Brosnan looks taller. Again it's on a NYC sidewalks which are always slanted.

Rob, if you watch Timeline Butler and Paul Walker are very similar in height with Walker having the edge while wearing chucks to Butler's hiking boots. In decent boots Butler would be 6ft3 minimum close to 6ft3.25 standing at 6ft1.75 barefoot, and it's pretty obvious Walker is not 6ft3.5 or more with chucks on. Walker's prob. 6ft2 barefoot and a little over w/chucks, putting Butler at 6ft0.75 barefoot maybe even 6ft0.5. I don't think Butler wears lifts, I just think his publicized height is with shoes.

Butler's certainly one guy who at times can look like a 184cm guy even. Certainly deleting that '7' from the listing might make it closer.

Yeah MD, THE Bova/ Butler pic is bizarre. Is Bova wearing lifts in a big way? Plus, if you asked me how tall I thought they were from just looking at the pic w/out knowing their heights, I'd guess 5ft10-5ft11. They don't look especially tall, at least not near 6ft2 barefoot/or6ft3 w/shoes for Butler. Something is seriously off because if Butler is 6ft1.75 barefoot/6ft2.75 minimum w/shoes that means Bova would be wearing 3.5 inches of lift, and that's ridiculous.I just saw 300 finally yesterday,and Butler looked 6ft1-6ft2 in the movie while wearing sandals, and he looked tall in The Miracle Match(aka The Game of their Lives) but only about 2 inches taller than the 5ft11 Wes Bentley. Rob,do you think Butler might be more like 6ft.075 and wears big heels to get up over 6ft2, because on Conan he looked 6ft tops barefoot while Conan was stooping over him?

Butler was on Conan last night, and when he came out Conan dwarfed him and wasn't even standing up straight. Conan has to be 6ft4 at a minimum maybe taller, because while hunched over he had Butler by a good 3 inches.

Venus, I'm not quite sure what you are saying, is it that you think Walker wears lifts? If that's the case I gotta disagree with you, because Walker has been in movies in flat soled converse all-stars and flip flops and still looked taller than his castmates. If you watch Timeline again you'll see Walker wears chucksin the first part of the film, and is taller than Butler who's wearing boots. No way to pinpoint both their exact heights, but I'm guessing Butler's close to 6ft1.5 and Walker is close to 6ft2.

I think he's genuinely 6ft2 or at least 6ft1.5, I watched Beowulf and Grendel the other night, and there is barely any difference, maybe a half to an inch between Butler and the 6ft3 Stellan Skarsgard. I've doubted Butler and Paul Walker's 6ft2ish listings, but after seeing him in this film with Skarsgard I'm pretty convinced that both Walker and Butler who starred together in Timeline are close to 6ft2.

Look at Alan Ladd (5'5)and Veronic Lake (4'11) - they couldn't find the right height people for each other, until them. And look at the pre-Brando/James Dean era - all very tall leading men - John Wayne, James Stewart, Cary Grant, Rock Hudson. This was to create a very clear-cut gender-divide (n.b. anyone know how tall Judith Butler is :) ?)

If Gerard Butler is 6'2", which I believe he is, how tall then is Emily Rossum and Patrick Wilson, his costars in "Phantom"? I think both of them must be taller than I thought--Emily about 5'9" and Patrick about 5'll". My guess is, the taller the leading man, the taller the supporting cast can be--that way the director doesn't always have to be adjusting things to make the leading man look tall (i.e. Humphrey Bogart, Tom Cruise, Mel Gibson, etc.)
