My resume;
Connery was 189cm in peak to his fifty years old.
From the age of fifty years old to ...maybe ¿¿¿sixty-five ??? years old his height was 188cm not less.
Since his 65 years old, he lost a bit of height.
The problem he retired of the cinema when he was around seventy years old , and we couldn't control his height. But in my opinion today 184 cm to Connery is ok.Not more.

Back in 2012 he already looked 6'0.5" next to 6'2" Andy Murray ( measured). So I agree with James for once, now 5 years later and at 87 years old its pretty certain that he is 6' or maybe even less because of poor posture.
He is retired so no real point giving a current height.

i personally think that this average guess listings is not 100 procent what people believe. Its many guys on this site that always write stuff like" he had 4 inches lifts on" and vote a guy like connery at 6 foot.

6'2" without shoes. Actually, 6'2.25" without shoes is also arguable. That's me just saying it neutral.

rob in all honeslty of you had listing like 6 foot 2 and 1/5 on this site then i think connery would have been listed that. may have been to short for 1/4 LISTING but i still think he was not 188,0 tall in the afternoon but more 188,4 rangea strong 188 guy. people on the site seems to think he was barely 188. to name a few movie where he could look shorter is indiana jones. he mad ford look almost 185 aorund 184,5 maybe. and highlander he didnt rally look almost 10 cm taller than the main guy. and in that cosnter movie he looked half inch taller. other than that he looked really tall. hm also with nicolas cage it looked like he was barely 188 and cage maybe 184. hm its a lot of movies he actually did look at best 188 but the question is when did he start to loose height . he is well built and have big bones just look at his hands so i think he didnt loose more than 1-3 mm until he was around 60-64 years old.

I think Sean never was 190 cm, in my opinion 188 cm or 189cm in peak is possible. When he was Dr Henry Jones in Indiana Jones and the last crusade, maybe his height was 187cm and Harrison 183cm. Today Connery 184 cm is posible, he is 86 years old.

He can look barely 6ft today when walking around or standing loosely but I'm convinced he'd still clear that mark if measured. Possibly a just under 6ft1 though. He's lost roughly 1½in from his peak.
I think he woke up at 6ft3 and dropped to 6ft2-2¼ at his low

Hmm, I think seeing him with 6'6" Alan Napier in Marnie, I wouldn't try to argue anything over 189 cm at his full peak, Napier looks pretty much a strong 4 inches taller. Other evidence that the listing is correct, was that Connery clearly edged by nearly a couple inches by 6'3.5" Donald Sutherland in The Great Train Robbery and no taller than the even 6'2" Michael Caine in The Man Who Would Be King.

i think connery can look 184 range today but who knows if he is 185 when he stands tall. under 6 foot 2 is hard to believe at peak. and anything over 189 is also to mutch

@Rampage: definitely thanks as well! Agreed too! Hackman to me still looks every bit of 6'2 in Heist and even in enemy of the state when he is standing straight looks as tall as Smith or taller. In Heist he looked almost even with the way has Delroy Lindo. Possible both have lost height today but lindo looked a 192-193 guy prime imho maybe even your height a full 6'4.

I think Hackman is a hard guy to pin down. He has looked both a weak and strong 6ft2 on different occasions. I think 6ft2 flat is fine for him overall though. Right between Caine and Connery

And as you say ford and travolta was very close at their peaks. But ford was probably something like6 fot and 3/8 while travolta was 6 foot 1/4 with a chanse of being 6 foot flat on bad days. Thums up for your guesses!!!

Berta, I think Ford was near 6ft1 up until the mid-80's. Minimum 6ft0¾ anyway. Looked 6ft1 in Star Wars and The Conversation. Obviously he began to lose height quite early. Dolph had to be at least 6ft4 in the 80's and I don't doubt the listed 6ft4¼. He was a monster of a guy and had inches over other tall guys. But like Ford, he's fallen victim to injuries and lost a fair bit. The Rock was possibly a bit over 6ft3 when he entered WWE. I can see an argument for 6ft3½ and in wrestling boots was his claimed 6ft5. Travolta was a bit over 6ft, possibly 6ft0½. In Fever he was no less than 6ft2 in those big dancing shoes and likely nearer 6ft3. Similar in Grease. He was super skinny, had the Elvis hairdo and just looked much taller than he probably was. In the 90's when he made his comeback, he was heavier but probably still about same height.

Connery still looked every inch of 6ft2 w/h Costner, Ford and Cage. May have dropped a centimetre by then and was 188cm in the 80's-90's. By early 2000's he was starting to look 187cm. As of recently maybe 184-185cm range. I think he can still clear 6ft today when measured.

he looked like he still was 6 foot 2 with cage at over 60 there is evidence he could have been little over. but with lambert at 179 he really didnt look more than around 187 and same goes with kevin costner. if he was 185 then sean looked little under 6 foot 2. even if we still have ford at 185 connery looked only about 3-3,5 cm taller and that makes him about 188. the quastion is had he lost 1/4 at the age of 60 ish ore nothing. if he had lost that then 6 foot 2 1/4 is better listing otherwise the listing is good.i think shose 2 are the alternatives to list him on.strong 189 is to mutch and 187 is to short

But I don't believe he could ever stand next to a guy like Rogers, or any other 6'3 guy, and be even remotely on par with him (or her). 6'1.5 to 6'2...max, out of bed inclusive.

Connery was a solid 6'2 guy at peak. Maybe almost 6'3 out of bed. He looked it in every movie. The untouchables is a great movie and connery was still 6'2 at that time.maybeca weak 6'2 at that time because he had lost some fraction.

If Connery was 6'2" then Michael Caine was 6'1.5" as there was a slight, but noticeable height difference between them. My guess would be 6'1.75" for Caine and 6'2.25" for Connery. I still wouldn't rule out 6.2.5" but would rule out anything under 6'2" flat.

My father once met Michael Caine on a ferry from England in the 70's and he said he was a tall man. How tall he never said but my father was a solid 183 cm in his prime. So he wasn't a flat 6'1" thats for sure.

...According to a site which shall remain nameless (but, you may guess), under the "trivia" section for Timothy Dalton, this is what I found; "According to the James Bond film tailors in London, at 6' 2" 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" without shoes and Pierce Brosnan 6' 1" without shoes". Make of it what you wish, but if it's a legit quote, who would know better than his tailors.

Editor Rob the trivia was lifted from an old site that made no mention of where the info came from.
based on the site it came from, I would be highly sceptical as to whether somebody had contacted all of these tailors.

One Summer, when I was playing loud music right into the wee, small hours and drinking more than was good for me, I read a funny story about Sean Connery doing much the same thing while reading my Dad's 'Daily Express'!
One thing I must say is that my Dad lives in a detached house, so there were no neighbours banging on the door complaining! Not so for Sean though! He was rude to them and swore at them, taking no notice of their gripes whatsoever! I found that extremely funny, although it obviously isn't, but it was to me at the time as I was doing much the same myself! Boy, did I appreciate the fact that no one could hear the noisy racket coming from our residence!
Anyway, Sean has always struck me as a dashing 6ft plus! On the whole, I am not into 'James Bond' films, but if I had to opt for my favourite Bond, it would be Sean. I thought he was great in the Hitchcock film 'Marnie', which I saw when I was 9 years old and it terrified the life out of me and my equally young friend, Rosemary!
I will go along with 6ft2 for him, though I guess he's a bit shorter now! I've never seen a film with Mr Connery in it and not been impressed. He's one of our 'Golden Greats' and I hope, for the sake of his health, that he has quit the drinking lifestyle now!

He was an average actor who only became famous in middle-age because Cubby Broccoli cast him as James Bond. The way he treated Broccoli - to whom he owed his entire career - was shockingly bad.

Dear Flint! I repeat myself. If you have no proofs to radically downgrade some actors this is a crass stupidity. Charles Gray was at least 188cm. In Diamonds are forever he had the same height than Connery. In The Molly Maguires Connery was 3-4 cm taller than Richard Harris. (If you are right Harris was only 5'11"....) In The Hill he was taller than 6'1" Jack Watson, in Murder on the Orient Express he was taller than Anthony Perkins (Perkins was at least as tall as Yves Montand), in Meteor he was taller than 188cm prime Martin Landau and in the A Bridge Too Far he and Gene Hackman were the tallest in the cast. So, yes Connery was prime at least 6'2".

Rampage, I did talk about The Man Who Would Be King (but called it TMWWBK), see my previous comment. Connery might have touched 6'2 straight out of bed, but I put him at 6'1 1/2 and Cane at 6'1. I used to work in for a very small company where only a couple of the men were under 6'0, four were 6'4 and the rest were around 6'0, apart from one guy who was 6'2 1/2. This one guy looked way closer to the 6'4 men than the 6'0s, and I don't see Connery as being that close to 6'4 actors. He's closer to the 6'0s from what I have observed.

187cm for Connery puts Caine at 185cm which Rob agrees is too low for his peak. Watch The Man Who Would Be King. Connery has no hair and is wearing sandels yet still edges Caine who is in his military uniform, helmet and all.

AlexMahone, calling someone's view crass stupidity is not giving due respect. Given that films are all about illusion and the look of actors is always being manipulated by the filmmakers, PR, agents etc... it's almost certain that not everything is as it seems. What I actually said was I don't think Connery was the full 6'2. I'd say 6'1 1/2' and Cane looks a bit shorter when they stand to attention in TMWWBK so 6'1 for him. If you read Cane's auto biog from 1992, you'll see pictures with Roger Moore, who looks an inch or so shorter, so 6'0. I've seen almost every Hammer film, some of them many times, and Christopher Lee must be 6'4, and he had 4 inches on Moore. Back to Connery: in the early films Desmond Llewelyn stoops but still looks at least as tall as Connery and taller at times. He was 6'2 but lost a lot as he aged. Charles Gray was 6'1, but actually looks taller than Connery in You Only Live Twice. And 6'3 Jimmy Dean looks much bigger in DAF. I could go on to make comparisons with numerous British comedy actors in Hell Drivers, or actors in The Hill, or Marnie... have you seen those?

Please tell me what 188cm actors much bigger than Connery was in his prime? Oh yes in "The Rock" Brendan Kelly was bigger but two thing: Connery was there 66 years old and Kelly is 6'3.5" aka 192cm. Or David Morse but Morse is a genuine 6'4" guy. Agreed with Rampage he was 188/189cm in The Presidio for example.

I'm not sure he was the full 6'2. He always looked taller and bigger than 5'11 actors, and a tad more than 6 footers, but 6'2 plus actors usually look noticeably bigger. I'd say he woke up close but finished the day at 6'1 in his prime. Roger Moore was never more than 6 flat, Michael Cane was 6'1 max and Harrison Ford probably 5'11 in reality.

Just watched Untouchable easily noticeable height advantage on costner, kevin having a sizable hair advantage.
He was also tall next to the NCIS guy in the 80s in a low budget flick doubt he had lifts in either.
Likely he is much shorter now still looked tall in Leage of extras.

In the pic from one year ago he was 82 yrs old I meant to say. (Andy murray back in 2012 win)
Now as of 2016 he is 86 yrs old. So like I said Im sure he has lost even more. He looks very frail now as well.

A year ago at 82 years old he looked 184cm, 6'0.5 next to Andy Murray. He looks close to an inch shorter than Cooper there but we can't see the ground or anything. 6ft flat wouldn't surprise me though he is at an age now where he will start to lose alot .

Connery was known to get into fistfights, even after he became a star. He famously got into a fight with Johnny Stompanato, Lana Turner's large, strong, vicious criminal boyfriend. One time, he took offense with a drunken (as usual) Lee Marvin, and was only dissuaded from beating Marvin up when he was reminded that Marvin was making a movie, and that hurting him would derail its production. Keep in mind that Marvin was also tall and strong, and a former combat marine.
He was also known for bad mouthing Steven Seagal and getting his wrist broken.

If you want to get a more clear reference on Connery's height, please watch the scene from his movie "The League of Extraordinary Gentleman", he has a scene with Indian Actor, Naseeruddin Shah (Who is a minimum 5 foot 8-8.5), easily towers over him by 5+ inches with minimum footwear advantage. If he is only 6 foot 2, must be the tallest 6 foot 2 guy I've seen so far.

@Rob: Quite funny, I think I saw an article long time back saying that Sean Connery was and is still the tallest actor to play James Bond in films. (He was supposed to be 6 foot 2.25 to 2.5 depending on the cast who were working with him).
I know Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton were around 1.88m (6 foot 2 inches), but it was clearly stated by several James Bond directors and fans that Sean Connery was easily the tallest and best among the Bonds.
Maybe you can compare pics of genuine 6 foot 2 actors with Sean Connery during 80s and 90s to check this fact. If you can google for pictures of Sean Connery with Roger Moore, Sean Connery is easily 0.5 inches taller than Roger Moore even with a bald head (This was a 50-year old Connery, mind you. He would have lost an inch by the time the photos were taken). This makes me suspect that Mr.Connery was a minimum 6 foot 2.5 at his peak.
Just my two cents, you are the height expert, I leave it for you to judge.

Watched Goldfinger last night and was surprised how lean Connery looked, I always remembered him a big built guy. Although I realise he was a body builder at one point his physique looked much more natural than that of the gym enhanced Daniel Craig. When you watch older films you can see how much leaner people were in those days. Americans and British people were certainly not overweight back then. I think that the population in general was actually fitter years ago despite our modern day health foods and gym memberships.

The main reason he looked taller in Dr No is due the fashion styling then excentuating his weirdly, out of proportion, long legs... It often looks as if his trouser band is probably around nipple level... Although somehow he makes it look stylish!

James, I don't think he was quite 6ft3 either except after a good night sleep. But somewhere in 6ft2-2½ is quite possible, IMO. You can easily pass for 6ft3 at that height. Even in his late 50's he edged out Kevin Kline and Michael Caine (both 6ft1½-2) at the Oscars and fellow 6ft2er Julian Glover in Indiana Jones Last Crusade. He may not have lost anything by then and maintained his height into the 90's. I look at Ben Affleck, John Cusack or Lance Reddick...Connery in his 30's would have been level with those guys.

Arch, in those hotel scenes I thought he could look proportionally like a guy near 6ft3. But then again I take your point that he didn't look over 6ft2 w/h Jimmy Dean (who was no less than 6ft3). He looks a clear 6ft2½ in Dr. No and Goldfinger. He had at least 1in on Gert Frobe, Joseph Wiseman and Jack Lord (all 6ft1 range guys).
The 6ft2 listing is fine for Connery but if I had to choose between 6ft1¾ and 6ft2¼, I'd go with the latter. I'd also opt to give Caine the former.

Yeah he hung around 6ft2 for many years I think. He still looked it well into the 90s. Thats why I think near 189cm peak is a very reasonable. He looked 6ft2 range next to guys like Kevin Costner, Nicolas Cage, Alec Baldwin and Laurence Fishburne.
BTW, I think he was about 190lbs in Dr. No which is quite trim for 6ft2. He was well over 200lbs in DAF and NSN.

Rampage- I think Connery only weighed 170 range in Dr No which could be why he gave the illusion of looking taller than he was. I saw that movie quite recently he struck me as looking 'strong tall' in that movie. From what I remember in never say never again (haven't seen that movie for a while) he didn't look that tall maybe because he was heavier in that film? I don't think Connery was really any shorter than his peak in never say never again.

@James B: Agreed. He was on the stronger side of 6ft2 and people don't quite understand how tall that really is especially 50 years ago. In Dr. No and Goldfinger he stood out height-wise and looked very imposing. 6ft2 in the 50's-60's was more or less equivalent of what 6ft4 is today. It still is an impressive height..just so many guys who are 6ft (sometimes even less) are claiming it.

@Rob. Do you think 6'2.5" peak might be possible for Connery?
I remember you used to have an old bodybuilding measurement of 6'2.4" included on this site. Also in the man who would be king there was a scene where Connery and Michael Caine are standing side by side on a flat floor in similar footwear, Connery seemed slightly taller.Looking at his films Connery seemed to be 6'2" range well into his 60's so a slightly higher peak seems possible.

Editor Rob someone mentioned the measurement, but I couldn't find the source so removed the mention. From watching early films I think he was around 6ft 2

Connery was built like a 6ft2+ guy. If he was 188cm it was at the very end of the day and I do think he would have brushed 6ft3 out of bed. He was consistently taller than strong 6ft1 guys like Gert Frobe, Richard Harris and Kevin Costner.

Connery can't be 6ft 2 if Jimmy Dean is an inch taller...as he is clearly 2in taller in Diamonds Are Forever,so Connery is either 6ft 1 or Dean 6ft 4

His height seems to fluctuate quite a bit, probably one of those guys that shrink a lot during the day (it is not the same with everyone, some only lose like one cm, but others almost four(!), I have read in an anthropology book). 189cm out of bed is possible and I'd even say it's possible he'd dripped under 187cm during a long day.
Not a guy to wear lifts, IMO.

I am 6'1", exercise a lot and have stayed the same for a long time. Sat next to Connery in a Sydney restaurant, by accident, when he was promoting one of his films("Never say never again"). Leaving at the same time, he seemed the same height but not as solid as on film. Later, in 2001, working in Tokyo, Moore was guest of honour at a dinner. Like some has said, a decent fellow. He was an inch orcso below my eye level and far slighter than on film. To all this - so what? Both gave much pleasure and enjoyment with their performances, hurt no one and made their way successfully in a tough game. That's the important thing about them.

188-89 peak I think, but I don't think he was 6 foot 3. His frame is pretty thin which I think makes him look taller. In Goldfinger he looks a solid 6'2. 6'2.5 tops

Recently watched 'From Russia With Love' which is a terrific installment in the Bond series. In it, he appeared at the very least 6ft 2in, and often seemed taller. He looked strikingly tall. Exciting film, both him and Robert Shaw were terrific, and the sequence in the train towards the end was so tense!

Moore - 6'1.5"
Dalton - 6'2"
Brosnan - 6'2"
Craig - 5'10"

Connery still looked at least 6ft2 in the 80's-90's. I'm beginning to think he could have at his best, maxed out at 6ft2½(189cm) and woken up at 6ft3. He still looks about 6ft1 range today at 85 (in a few days). He's definitely not in the same boat as contemporary Clint Eastwood...

Since most men lose about an inch of height around age 60, and since Kevin Costner was legitimately 6'1" in 1987 when they made "The Untouchables" and Connery was 57 years old, I think Connery should be upgraded based in part on this picture: Click Here
Connery looks an inch taller than Costner and consistently did so in the movie and in the press after the release of the movie. In the metric system I think the nearest whole number to his height would be 189 cm. Because it seems others have had the same idea, I think it's fair to upgrade him to at least 6'2.25".
It should at the very least be noted that his range in his prime was 6'2"-6'2.5".

I don't think Rampage is as arrogant as some people on here actually about height. He definitely does have a thing about 6 ft 2-3, especially 189-190cm for whatever reason though. Sometimes he's right, other times it seems odd upgrading a 6'1-6'2 chap to near 6'3. Unlike several others here at least he's rarely rude to people or rants angrily to Rob about inflated listings.
