Watch Goldfinger. You watch Connery walk down the corridors in the hotels. He had the long legs and stature of a man between 6'2 and 6'3" I think. Watch him walk in plimsolls up to the maid to get into Goldfingers room. The man was a strong 188-189 peak undoubtedly.

In diamonds are forever's DVD extras Joe Robinson who played Peter Franks states his height as 6'2". If you watch the film you will notice Sean is clearly shorter.

Came close to 6' 3" with ease on "Diamonds Are Forever". Still 6' 1" in my own eyes in Vegas a few years ago.

You wish Ray. Connery was easily 6ft2 in his prime and was likely taller.

The only way Connery was ever 6'2.5"... was with shoes on. As Rob points out 6'2.4 was "supposed" to be from a body building measurement. That's the only mention of that height I have ever heard. I've heard Sean say 6'1.5" with shoes on in the mid nineties... so that means 6'1" tops in his 60's. The most I would ever accept for Connery in his prime would be a weak 6'2".
6'2.5" - 6'3" is just laughable...sorry

I'd put most money on a strong 189cm out of bed in his prime. A strong 188cm is pretty accurate for his peak.

Connery is clearly 6ft2 range nowadays. Genuinely think he peaked at 189cm and has since lost a centimetere now hovering around the 188cm mark. Nowadays after a good night sleep Connery is scraping 189cm and before bed is scraping 188cm.

Yes Rob you ought to place Connery at 6'2.5" (189cm) peak. The 6'2.4" is an exaclt peak measurement for certain. To me he still looks nearer 6'2" in his late seventies.

Hugh can you please elaborate which weight you are referring to on Tom Selleck's page. Thanks. I can't quite see 6'3" 191 for Connery, the most I can see for Connery is 190, 189cm is more accurate I think peak.

Connery being 6'3 morning is possible for his youth. I'd bet more money on 6ft2 range out of bed though.

I worked on Entrapment during the Summer of 1998. When passing Sean Connery in the halls of Pinewood Studios, he looked much taller than I had expected. I was 20 at the time and just under 6'2". He looked a little bit taller than me and quite big! But that would put him at 6'2" even at Age 68.

A great actor named Alan Napier, Alfred the Butler in the 60's Batman series played the father of Connery in Hitchcock's Marnie. This guy was a genuine 6'6 tall and has about 4 inches on Connery. As this is circa 1964 and Connery would be 34 at the time I would say 6'2.5 is his peak height with very little difference even now.

Yes it would seem Connery is still at least 6'1.5". I've seen a fairly recent photo of him standing next to Tilda Swinton who is supposed to be 5'11" barefoot and was wearing 2 inch heels and Connery still looked like he had an inch on her.

Hugh I also thought Connery looked taller in Goldfinger too. On the golf course I thought he looked 6'3" and semed to have about two inches on 6'1" Gert Frobe. Perhaps he looked taller because of his tall slimmer build in comparison.

Fair enough Hugh, but I personaly think you're going too high for him. I think the problem stems from people's perception of what 6' is. Someone who is a legitimate 6' barefoot (late afternoon height) will be taller than most guys. I think Sean was a legitimate 6'1.5" in his prime. While most actors in the medium height range 5'10 - 5'11" get billed at that "magical" 6' mark, this brings down what is perceived to be 6' to most people. This is why people think Sean is 6'2" and higher. Well that's my opinion anyway.

I thought only one site said him saying 6'1 1/2 but hell, it might be internet gossip. to me he seems at least a strong 186cm today. He could have been a strong 187cm in his youth but no less.

Guys let's agree here,
Connery was shorter than 190 cm and taller than
185 cm? Agreed? I think 187-188 cm. So 6'2 is
spot on.

There maybe just maybe a chance that he's a little under 6ft2 nowadays. But That has to be the lowest. I really cannot picture him as low as 185cm. I think 188cm now and 189cm peak for Connery.

In the League of Extroardinary Gentlemen (2003), which is his most recent film, he looked about 5'10" in it. But you could tell he was slouching and has obviously lost height as hes gotten older as many bodybuilders do.

Overall, Infin I am happy with my height. At 190cm I am always one of the taller guys. The only thing that annoys me is that my brother and father are taller than. Adam i hate to be arroagnt but I have big, broad shoulders. I'm glad that I'm a little lighter than I was 10 years ago. I used to weight 230lbs of solid muscle. I now weigh between 210lbs and 220lbs. When people saw me walk into a supermarket they'd take a second glance or start eyeballing me. It was really awkward.

Hugh, are you satisfied with your height? i mean, would you want to be, say, 2 inches taller or shorter? i'm also 6-3 and i wish i was 6 feet to 6-1. its uncomformable to sit sometimes, or to walk too near the door frames. and i dislike the height difference b/w me and girls, i look like a gigant next to them and im just 191 cm, and not 210!
You are 6-3 and you wish you were shorter??? How come? Gigantic? Unless you live in Vietnam or somewhere, I dont understand that. Girls love tall guys. Height is all good. If you were let`s say over 6-5 then I`d understand but 6-3 is in my opinion just about the perfect height! (no offence to anyone)
Of course it one`s again depends how you are proportioned. 6-3 + big shoulders and a good posture= win win win win win!!!! =) Just my opinion, of course.

BruceWayne; he slimmed down a lot for Dr No but prior to that he was quite a bit bulkier. Remember he was a body builder. Check out D'arby O'Gill (1959) he was a fairly big guy in that. Fleming saw him in that and that's why he had the view of him looking like an overgrown stuntman.

If the pics of Carrey and Connery are from this last year, then that shows that Connery is still a solid 6ft1 in his late 70's. I can't tell if he has any sort of lift going on in the pic, it would be almost impossible to tell without a side shot, but I think it's safe to say he's only lost a little bit in height over the years. Maybe 0.5-1"? This would indicate that in his films from the 90's-now he was probably a good 6ft1.5 the whole time.

So about 6'0.5 - 0.75". My friend met him in an Irish bar in New York for the rugby Calcutta cup this year and said he was surprised that he wasn't taller. Just my 2 cents..

I agree James, Carrey looks to have a slight edge on Connery not the other way around. It's pretty insignificant though! I don't know exactly when this pic was taken, maybe in the last 5 years?), but it's possible Connery is 6ft0.75 in that pic to Carrey's 6ft1. If Carrey is 6ft1.5, then Connery is still 6ft1 easy, and if that's the case a peak height of 6ft2 is very possible.

Dudes, in those pictures, connery is taller than carrey. He has the edge, a little edge, but he is taller. Maybe my eyesight is pretty bad, but connery looks taller in all the pictures by a little bit.
Jones is a clear 6' guy. In batman forever, he was wearing normal shoes, not boots. Lifts??? i dont know, but those shoes that he was wearing looked normal. Maybe camera angles or so, but he looked the same than Jim Carrey, and Carrey is a solid 6'1 guy.
my guesses:
Sean Connery: 6'2 and a half at peak and a weak 6'2 today.
Jim Carrey: 6'1 and a half today.
Steve Martin: 5'11 and a half at peak and now just 5'11.
Tommy Lee Jones: 6' and a half at peak and now just 6'.

The best height description for Connery is 6'1". Even at his younger peak, he was probably given a generous measurement, and was definitely not more than 6'2".

I think you're pretty spot on Ray! Tommy Lee Jones looks a legit 5ft11-5ft11.5, and maybe 6ft when he was younger, but he's nowhere near 6ft0.5 today! He's most likely 6ft+ in the cowboy boots he always wears, and I'm pretty sure he wore heeled boots as Two Face in Batman Forever which is why he looked closer in stature to Carrey. I also don't know if Carrey is a full 6ft1.5, maybe more like 6ft1.
In that pic with Connery and Carrey, Carrey looks to have the edge, and as for Martin he's easily an inch shorter and I'd be willing to bet he's wearing a bit of a lift. The guy is 5ft11 tops, and most likely 6ft+ in his shoes.
As of right now I'd say 6ft1.5-6ft2 tops for Connery in his youth, with a slow progression to around 6ft0.5 today. Based on that pic I could see Connery at 6ft0.5, Carrey at 6ft1, and Martin at 5ft11.

First, Tommy Lee Jones is an strong 6'. he wasnt much shorter than will smith, he was the same than gary busey if not taller. He was taller than both javier bardem and josh brolin. He looked not much shorther than gene hackman. He looked the same or taller than harrison ford. He is a big guy, a clear 6' guy.
Second, in batman forever, carrey never looked a full inch taller than Jones. They looked the same. In some scenes, carrey looked a little bit taller, in other scenes, Jones looked a little bit taller. Never a full inch of difference between both actors. Plus, in the premiere pictures, both jones and carrey looked almost the same, and Jones looked even a little bit taller than val kilmer. So, he is a 6' dude.
Third, carrey looks a little bit shorter than Connery,never the oppositte. Sometimes, they looked the same. But studing the pictures, Connery is still taller than carrey, not for much, but taller.

Hugh, Tommy Lee Jones at 6'0.5" is a laugh. He's at best 5'11". He was shorter than Busey (182 cm) in Under Siege by an inch and Jones had cowboy boots on. CUK makes a good point, Steve Martin was 5'11" peak so work that one out. Also if you check that photo Sean and Carrey are roughly the same height accounting for posture. In fact Carrey looks slightly taller.

So is it possible that Connery's 6ft2 listing was a with shoes estimate all this time, and not his true barefoot height? I don't think it's unrealistic that Connery could've been 6ft1.5 peak and hit the 6ft2 mark in shoes!
6ft1.5- 60's-70's
6ft1.25- 80's
6ft1- 90's
6ft0.5-today
Depending on his footwear over the years(normal heeled classic dress shoes 0.5", todays casual shoes 1", boots 1.5"), Connery could've been as high as 6ft3 in his youth and still hitting the 6ft1+ mark today!

Ray, They did something with the camera angles in the Last Crusade. That's why Glover looked a bit taller than Connery. It's actually the other way around in reality. Personally I think Glover is under 6ft2 today.

In the Last Crusade he was about 58 at time of filming. He looked to be shorter than Julian Glover (6'2" prime). He also looked to be only about an inch taller than Ford. I've never seen Ford more than 6'. He was a lot shorter than Hackman in The Conversation (~2-3 inches). The most I would give for Connery in Last Crusade would be 186 cm (6'1.25") down from about 187 cm youth.

I remember him being a tiny bit taller than Michael Caine in Man who would be King but as I said before, Caine was not a full 6'2. Frank2 saw the guy at 6'1 in his youth which would put Connery as a legit 6'2 guy in his youth and legit 6'1 guy today.

I've had my doubts about Connery being over 6ft2 in his youth, but after seeing From Russia with Love recently and taking into account these pics, he very well could have ben 6ft2.5 in his heyday! His stature back then was very similar to a guy like Hugh Jackman, who's a legit 6ft2.25.

In the Pic of Ed(1), this looks like a 2-3 inch difference to me. No better angle for anyone and presumably flat ground. And Connery is old. Even in this age he looks like 6'2, in his prime he could have been 6'3.

Easily 6ft2 in youir pic. I think Connery was 188-189cm at that time and Ford was 184-185cm. But even though Connery is broader than Ford, he's still got about 2 inches there. And I refuse to beleive that Ford was under 6ft at that time.

Yeah I agree they are not perfect photos to judge from, but in my opinion they definitely give enough evidence to point to Connery being taller then Ford by at least an inch or so. Here's another one of them walking side by side:

James,
as for Connery's size making him look bigger, I really don't think that his weight and width is doing it as much as he was legitimately taller. I'm sure it adds to the effect, but I don't think it's strictly that.
So James and Ray, how tall do you think they both were in Last Crusade?

You can't judge from those photos. The last one is the only one you can see their feet and (1) they're on a beach, ie not flat. (2) Camera is favouring Sean. You could take other stills from that film where there is only 1" diff. Inconclusive for me...

From Russia with Love(1963) was on TV the other night, and Connery did look a legit 6ft1.5-6ft2 in that film. In the very beginning he's walking around barefoot by a lake, and he still comes across as a very tall man. I could see him as 6ft2 in the 1960's, 6ft1.5 in the 1970's, 6ft1 by the 1980's-mid 90's, and around 6ft0.5 by the 00's. Today he could very well be 6ft flat, and we have some confirmation of that with Frank2's 1999 sighting. The man is 78 now, so a 1.5-2" height loss is not unthinkable!

I don't believe that Connery said he was 6'1.5. But even if he had done so, it seems likely that this was an intentional understatement. I think, in his generation, he was too tall for an actor, I remember the Bond producers didn't want to take him because he looked too tall. Since he proved to be taller than Moore I stick to 6'2.5 barefoot in his prime (in my opinion in the very late evening). 6ft for him is absolutely ridiculous. Christian Bale seems to be a well-accepted 6ft-man here. It's obvious that he is by far shorter than the young Connery.

Actually if Connery looked slightly shorter than Charles Gray who is listed at 6'2 but could be a little less. There are some evidence that makes Frank2 6foot encounter believable but he seriously looks more than that.

In YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE Connery really looked slightly shorter than Charles Gray who is listed as 6-2. Could Gray be taller? Possibly. He wasnt a famous actor so his height isn

Well I remember clearly on Jay Leno. He said he was 6'1.5" depending on the state of his shoe leather. So by this time (mid '90's) he must have been below the 6'1" mark (~6'0.5" + 1" for shoes). The other quote saying he was 6'2" and then retracting it is from the website freewebs.com/jamesbond007heights/
Also I just saw a photo of Sean and Claudine Auger (5'8") in Thunderball both barefoot and there was only at most 5" diff. Its on I M D B.

You know Ray I just searched several sites and not one had Connery saying he was 6'1.5. Not even in the 90s I couldnt find anything on him saying '6'1.5 depending on the state of my shoe leather'. The only thing saying he was measured at 6'1 1/2 without shoes was claimed by the tailors but never proved. The internet is full of untruths. 6'1.5 is a possibility for him at his peak but I wouldnt go less than that. I agree with Rob he is 186cm nowadays.

In some early films he gave the illusion of 6ft3. He clearly wasn't that tall ever. But 189cm seems closer to the truth.

Ok guys explain to me why he would say when asked about his height during his Bond days, that he is "6 feet 2 inches, well ok, actually about 6 feet 1 and a half inches really." I think that proves he knew his height accurately. That's what I'm defending my argument on and also visual evidence and Bond tailor measurements also verified by Eon.

Okay 6'1 is too low for him in his prime I will admit that. He did give the impression of a solid 6'2 if not a bit more back then. I wouldnt go as high as 6'3 though.

Dude Ray, Connery looked a very strong 6'2 in his younger days. Look the bond movies, he was towering over everyone. He was pretty tall. Even in his old days, he was pretty tall. Look at the untouchables, one inch or maybe more taller than 6'1 Kevin Costner. Looking the same than 6'2 Gene Hakman in a bridge too far. And now, taller than 6'1 and a half jim carrey. He was at least 6'2 or more and now, 6'2 or close. I think that you are the one who should judge better the heights.
Caine was always a little shorter than Connery. He was about 6'1 and a half or even a little shorter in his prime. Now, a strong 6, close to 6'1.

Caine was shorter than Connery by 1/2 inch. 186cm is the very most I would give for Caine at peak.

No chance. He was 6'1.5" prime. Michael Caine was never 6'2". There's a photo of him with John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart and few others and he is at least 2" shorter than Jimmy Stewart (6'3" at the time). Caine in his prime was 6'1" so was Roger Moore. Connery never gave an impression of anything over what he was 6'1.5". I think you need to review the heights of others you're judging him against.

I think that he was a little over 6'2 in his prime. He was always a little taller than Michael Caine and an inch taller or so than Roger Moore. Today he is 6'2 or very close to 6'2.

I cannot agree with that. Both in From Russia with love and in Thunderball he towers over most people, and he usually wears flat shoes. If he does not stand next to someone one could think 6'1.5, but seeing him next to others it's clear that he was easily 6'2.5, if not more. He's probably more than one inch taller than Roger.

In Russia with Love he looked a strong 6'1 if not a bit more. Yes more 6'1 than 6'2 but regardless Sean was obviously a tall man.

You should notice that he looked an inch taller than Kostner (6'1) while he was an old man (Untouchables), or at least in an age in which he probably lost some height. 6'2 as old man, he could have easily been 6'2.5 in his twenties.

Josh Ford is 5ft11.75 these days. Costner is definately 6ft1 though. I think 6ft2 flat these days.

Hugh, put Hasselhoff, Neeson and Goldblum in their barefeet and Connery in normal heeled shoes. Are you telling me he would be the same height ? Get real buddy ! The very most I can accept for Connery in his prime is 6'1 2/3" (187 cm). I don't know where this body building height came from cos I can't find any reference to it anywhere. Connery, however did say himself he was 6'1.5" in his prime. Every film I have seen him in he hasn't looked any more than this. Until you can come up with documented evidence to say otherwise then that was his height.

Aswell. Connery always did always look taller than Michhael Caine. So there is a fair chance this guy was near 6ft3. 189cm I have no problem beleiving for this guy peak.

As far as I remember he once said 6'2.5. And the Bond producers first did not want to engage him as Bond because he looked like an oversized stuntman. And there are tons of pictures in which he is clearly taller than Roger Moore. If Moore was 6'1.5, 6'2.5 for Connery is the least measurement (barefoot).

To BK_Daniel. Connery has always looked thicker set than Eastwood. Isn't hard to imagine a 15lb difference if Eastwood is 205 and Connery 220.
