How tall is Pierce Brosnan

Kpu said on 1/Oct/24
Rob, Brosnan should be added to the Irish Actors tag

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 7/Mar/23
I respectfully disagree, Andrew. I think Pierce still comfortably clears the 6ft mark and can possibly still make 6ft1. Pulled it with The Rock

Andrey Lykov said on 6/Mar/23
He is closer to 6 feet flat today. A quite normal height loss for his age.

5'7 and a fraction said on 20/Feb/23
Interesting that picture with Rock, didn't even know they'd met before. Looks 6'1 there though. Rock is closer to 6'2 flat, 6'2.25.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 4/Feb/23
Clearly looks 6ft1 range with The Rock. His current height is the absolute lowest I’d try to argue. Really I’d give him the same stats as Firth (6ft1½ peak, 6ft1 flat today)

Philip Z said on 25/Jan/23
Next to 6ft 2.5 listed The Rock: Click Here


Brosnan has a slight footwear advantage, but even if Johnson only were 6ft 2 flat, I can't see Brosnan below 6ft 1 still. Since a half inch height loss at almost 70 is plausible, his peak may be closer to 6ft 1.5, too.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 10/Oct/22
berta, surprisingly Brosnan holds up well with Rock.

berta said on 8/Oct/22
look at new photos of him and dwayne johnson. there really is very small chanse for pierce to be under 185 cm still. Dwayne looke only 3,5 cm taller. Maybe brosnan really was 186,5 peak?

ZDA said on 30/Sep/22
Peak 6 ft 1.5.

Tall Sam said on 17/Sep/22
Interesting, Pierce makes Gary Oldman look closer to 5’8” than 5’9” there.

Hong said on 14/Sep/22
Click Here Here's Pierce with 5ft8.5 peak listed Gary Old man.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 26/Aug/22
He's what I would call "solid tall". Not "very tall" range but also not merely "above average" either

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 26/Aug/22
@Tallernot: Ridiculous, he had 3in on Sean Bean and a good 2in on Janssen. Under 6ft1 is a joke for his peak, still stand by 6ft1½.

He's in a new movie with The Rock

Click Here

This is just one still though.

Tallernot said on 22/Aug/22
Pierce is above average in height, but he is never really tall. I don't think he was 6'1 peak. Maybe 6'0.5. 6 feet nowadays.

Rob in the movie golden eye in the sauna scene he was I would say exactly the same height as Femke Janssen who is a weak 6 ft.

Another thing that is noticeable is that his kneecap is often very high and his legs look abnormally long. Very likely he wore and wears lifts to look taller.

He was about an inch shorter than Timothy Dalton who is about 6'1.5.

I'm going with 184cm max. Very likely 183cm peak and 182cm nowadays.

Him wearing lifts and the fact that he has a small head and narrow build makes him look taller than he is.

Rory said on 23/Jun/22
@Hong Hmm no I'd say he still looks over six foot there with Dylan,I'd say at least 6ft0.25 there..that's not a full 5 inch difference imo.

Hong said on 3/May/22
Click Here= Here's Pierce with his son he's looking 6ft flat if his son is 6ft5.

Sushmit said on 28/Mar/22
In the 80s-90s, he peaked around almost 6ft1½ (187cm) and then from 1990s to 2000s,Bond era, he still looked over 6ft1 (186cm) and after that he lost little height and his posture was good.... currently I think he is 183-184cm... i.e, solid 6ft, not below that

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 14/Dec/21
Weak 6ft2 in Lawnmower Man with Jeff Fahey

Stavro said on 10/Dec/21
He’s more like 6’0” these days… check out premiere pics of him next to 5’8” Olga Kurylenko. She has 2” of footwear on him at most, yet he looks only 2” taller.

Peak?… yeah he probably was 6’1” or close back in the day.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 23/Nov/21
I think Pierce would edge Roger both at peak

T.M. said on 22/Nov/21
Similar height to Roger Moore. Agree with Rob's listing.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 21/Nov/21
Costner: 185.7cm
Brosnan: 186.4cm

Original said on 20/Nov/21
Peak 186cm (6'1.25")
Current 184cm (6'0.5")

Eusebiu - 6'1" (185 cm) said on 20/Nov/21
As for peak, I believe that 186 cm might have been possible but as for current height, I simply can not see him taller then 184 cm.

Don't get me wrong, he is a tall guy nonetheless but his current posture is bad and his son Dylan (196 cm) towers him in almost all pictures together by at least 12 cm - that would lead to the fact that Pierce is around 183-184 cm today.

So, my guess is:

Peak - 186 cm
Current - 184 cm

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 19/Nov/21
Brosnan would have edged out Costner

berta said on 17/Nov/21
it owuld have been interesting to see pierce and cosnter stand back to back in the 80s. it oculd have been hard to see any difference. but i feel Brosnan 186 Costner 185,5.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 24/Oct/21
I think strong 186cm minimum/max strong 187cm for his peak can be argued. His current height looks about right though

berta said on 21/Oct/21
he can look 184 alot recently. He is max 185 today. Probably around 184,5. He is 68 years old. I guess average height loss by then is 1,5-2 cm? That puts him at 186-186,5 peak. I think that is what he looked most of the time. A very legit 186 guy. But never over 186,5

recapa said on 3/Oct/21
186-186.5 peak, 184-184.5 nowdays.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 4/Sep/21
Those angles are awkward. Amitabh at 64 may not have lost much if any height still been about 6ft2 (peak minimum that). He’s still looking 6ft1 today at 77! Brosnan is bending a little bit as well...I would give the edge to Amitabh overall though. Brosnan I doubt had lost anything at that point

Buchanan: 187.5-188cm (peak maybe 188.5cm)
Brosnan: 186.5cm

ammy said on 3/Sep/21
I meant to say 64

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 18/Aug/21
Yeah he looked 6ft1½ range in Remember Me...

Ishaan Chetri said on 17/Aug/21
Compard to pattinson Broanan looks like a legit 6ft 1 guy next to him.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 30/Jul/21
He's done better than most guys his age. He was still looking a solid 6ft1 5-6 years ago


There are guys in their 70's that have lost less than an inch.

David Tang said on 23/Jul/21
rob, do you think brosnan will end up losing lot of height?

David Tang said on 3/Jul/21
may be he woke up 6'2, and claimed that. I guess he isn't being dishonest.

Arch Stanton said on 18/May/21
Haven't seen Pierce in a new photo for well over a year but the least time I saw him he was looking nearer 6 ft. Saw Huey lewis "Stuck With You" video earlier, his wife was gorgeous back in the 80s and 90s. Huey was clearly besotted with her! I would say she looked about 5 ft 8 with Huey, no more. Did his lanky son stop growing after? He was looking 6'5.5 last I looked!

viper said on 17/May/21
Ferrell is 6-2-6-2.5

Joey Diaz said on 16/May/21
You have this pretty spot on. 6’1 prime and 6’0 now.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 16/May/21
5ft11 is a joke

RAZA KHAN said on 13/May/21
I disagree because will Ferrell is supposedly 191 cm or 6'3" and next to him pierce Brosnan looks 5'11" to 6'0 max and both are wearing dress shoes!

viper said on 8/May/21
If he was really 6-1 then he has somehow shrunk a ton.

He barely looked 6-0 on stage with Will Ferrell

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 6/May/21
Slim 6'1.5 said on 5/May/21
The full 6’2 is pushing it but 187cm is a goer


He could look it at times but then he was also edged by guys in the Bond movies who really were 6ft2 like Joe Don Baker, Gottfried John and even Michael Madsen (then probably still at peak)...so yeah a bit below that is likelier but not a flat 6ft1 either. For me not under a strong 186cm/not over strong 187cm. Brosnan, Butler and Day-Lewis I think are guys that all fall into that grey area between 6ft1-2

Slim 6'1.5 said on 5/May/21
186.0 is also a great guess for this guy

Slim 6'1.5 said on 5/May/21
The full 6’2 is pushing it but 187cm is a goer

Sushmit said on 1/May/21
At peak I think he was around 186 cm at most.....in James Bond films he looked like 183-185 cm.... don't know why many ar arguing he was 187-188 cm....he never looked that tall and his proportions doesn't match either....Big Rob's listing is perfect

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 9/Mar/21
6ft1 flat peak is too low

James B 171.5 said on 8/Mar/21
I don’t see 6’1.5 for pierce more like 6’1

Chaos Control 6'2.5 said on 7/Mar/21
He gives off 6’1.5 vibes

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 1/Mar/21
Murray has always looked a solid 6ft2 guy, that 187.5cm figure came out of left field


Pretty sure he started here at 6ft3!

slim 6'1 said on 18/Feb/21
I think Andy Murray would give him the edge
6’1.5-6’1.75”

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 16/Feb/21
Anywhere 186.5-187.5cm I think is debatable

slim 6'1 said on 12/Feb/21
Agree with rampage on this one
Brosnan peak was closer to 6’2 than 6’1

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 8/Feb/21
Disagree berta, I think he looked a legit 187cm guy in the 80’s-90’s. 186.5cm is the shortest I can see peak. At 67 it is common to lose close to an inch. 185cm peak is too low, but 188cm is pushing it aswell. Only time he saw that was in the morning. Out of bed could have brushed near 189cm.

Just my opinion. Today he can look 184cm

berta said on 6/Feb/21
he looks to short today to have ever been 187. i think 186 is best listing. he could look 185-186,5 peak. 186 is best listing. probably woke up at 188.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 4/Feb/21
Slim, I think in the past Carrey has looked solid 187cm range and occasionally managed to pulled off 188cm. But then other times has looked more 186cm. I suppose he’s fine where he is currently and we should exclude him from the list...Will Smith who didn’t include I think is in the same boat. I feel overall 6ft1½ is fair for Brosnan...like Jim and Will could look either side of that...Caine I think it’s been argued for years was maybe a little shy of the 6ft2 mark.

slim 6'1 said on 3/Feb/21
Rampage pretty good estimates, except I’d give Matthew fox the full 6’2” , mark gatiss 186 and Jim Carey was most likely 186 over 187 at peak
And definitely give cr7 a solid 186cm

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 2/Feb/21
Ok then...

Mark Gatiss - 6ft1⅛
Kevin Costner - 6ft1⅛
Quentin Tarantino - 6ft1⅛
Christiano Ronaldo - 6ft1⅛
Bill Murray - 6ft1¼
Josh Holloway - 6ft1¼
Bill Pullman - 6ft1¼
Brendan Gleeson - 6ft1¼
Gerard Butler - 6ft1⅜
LL Cool J - 6ft1⅜
Daniel Day Lewis - 6ft1⅜
Roger Moore - 6ft1⅜
Pierce Brosnan - 6ft1½
Garrett Hedlund - 6ft1½
Jim Caviezel - 6ft1½
Mark Strong - 6ft1⅝
Chris Noth - 6ft1⅝
Jeff Bridges - 6ft1⅝
Jim Carrey - 6ft1⅝
David Letterman - 6ft1⅝
Jeremy Irons - 6ft1¾
James Earl Jones - 6ft1¾
Michael Caine - 6ft1¾
Matthew Fox - 6ft1⅞
Clive Owen - 6ft1⅞
Timothy Dalton - 6ft1⅞
Paul Walker - 6ft1⅞

Rob, how arguable are these?

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 30/Jan/21
Joe Don Baker edged both Brosnan and Dalton so no less than 6ft2 for him, probably a bit over. To be honest. Only time Brosnan and Dalton have been shown together was at the Goldeneye premiere. I'd probably overall give the edge to Tim but by no more than half an inch. He had a reasonably good chance of 6ft2

Click Here weird angles

The5'11Dude said on 30/Jan/21
Overall I'd say 6'1-6'.25 in his peak, he looked that height in his 4 Bond films.

slim 6'1 said on 29/Jan/21
@ Arch Stanton, very precise I think we can all agree brosnan is underlisted a quarter to half of an inch

Rory said on 29/Jan/21
I think 6ft1.25 or 6ft1.5 max peak. Remember in the 90s he wasnt significantly taller than Jonathan Pryce and was clearly shorter than Don Baker. A solid 187 makes him the same as Dalton which i dont think he was, i think he was a bit shorter than Dalton. Weak 6ft2 range for Dalton and strong 6ft1 range for Brosnsn makes sense.

Arch Stanton said on 29/Jan/21
186.8 is precise Rampage!! Sure he would have measured it at one point in the day.

slim 6'1 said on 28/Jan/21
Today he’s a strong 184 but back in the day easy 187cm

slim 6'1 said on 27/Jan/21
Nearer 6’2” than 6’1” at peak for sure

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 26/Jan/21
I'd maybe place Brosnan's peak at a high 186cm (like 186.8cm or something) - that's exactly 6ft1½

slim 6'1 said on 21/Jan/21
Rampage, correct
Pierce shouldn’t be listed anything under 6’1.5”

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 11/Jan/21
slim 6'1, 6ft2 at 9:00am is possible...

slim 6'1 said on 8/Jan/21
To reach 6’2” on a good day he must’ve been 187cm or close to it...

slim 6'1 said on 1/Jan/21
Rampage I’ll go with ur guess being better than mine 👍

Slim 6'1" said on 31/Dec/20
Yeah rampage somewhere between 187cm range for peak and
184.5/185 for today

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 26/Dec/20
Really going for 187.5cm peak Slim? Interesting choice...


In something like Remington Steele, Taffin or Mister Johnson he could look that but I'm not so sure it's a mark he'd have held afternoon/evening. Of course we're talking less than a centimeter but just generally someone like Jeff Bridges, Tom Hiddleston, Chris Noth, Clive Owen or Mahershala Ali come more to mind when I think of almost 6ft2...but you can't dismiss it, I haven't really looked at most of his pre-Bond stuff as it's pretty forgettable. He did edge both Colin Firth and Gerard Butler in two separate movies though when he was in his 50's.

Slim 6'1" said on 25/Dec/20
187-187.5 peak
184.5/185 current

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 16/Nov/20
Remington/007 era Brosnan and Saint/007 era Moore would be about even peak

He actually looks a lot like Moore in many scenes

recapa said on 2/Nov/20
186-187cm peak,184-185cm now.how tall does paris look here rob .he looks like he can be the full 6ft2 Click Here or maybe around his father peak height.

Brendon() said on 2/Nov/20
I worked at a luxury golf resort in CA and my coworker who was about 5'9 said Pierce Brosnan was a guest there and the first thing he thought when he saw him was "wow he's really tall" My guess is 6'1 without shoes, probably 6'2.5-6'3 with dress shoe

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 28/Oct/20
He can look 184cm at times now but then other times can still pull off 185cm with ease.
I think the current listing is fine and peak was almost 187cm

Slim 6'1" said on 25/Oct/20
187 peak
184 today

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 23/Sep/20
Rory, overall I’d still give a 60’s-70’s Caine the edge over 80’s Brosnan but I think they weren’t too far dissimilar. Caine and Roger Moore could look similar aswell

Rory said on 20/Sep/20
Not seen the movie but in that picture it looks as if Brosnan has better posture, more footwear and is nearer to the camera, a triple advantage. So it's not surprising he looks taller. There's certainly zero chance he was taller than a peak Caine.

The most you could ever argue for Brosnan is 6ft1.5 whereas 6ft1.5 is the lowest you could ever argue for Caine.I think personally Brosnan 6ft1.25 and Caine 6ft1.75.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 18/Sep/20
Fourth Protocol, in the movie they look about the same...and I highly doubt Caine had lost anything significant by then at 50

Hong said on 15/Sep/20
Click Here Here's a young Brosnan with 6ft2 listed Michael caine,Interesting Brosnan looks taller.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 25/Aug/20
Barely shorter than 6ft3 guys like Patrick Bergin in Taffin and Daragh O’Malley in The Long Good Friday (swimming pool scene - his first appearance onscreen). So I think 6ft1 flat as a peak is too low.

Sinclair said on 24/Aug/20
Rob, who would you say was taller, a Saint era Roger Moore or a Remington Steele era Pierce Brosnan?

Sinclair said on 9/Aug/20
Pierce Brosnan edges out 6’1” listed Robbie Coltrane in The World Is Not Enough. Therefore, unless Brosnan was wearing lifts in that film, he would have been at least a solid 6’1”. 6’2” listed James Read gave a taller impression than Brosnan did in Remington Steele. The difference between their heights was probably close to an inch. I agree with the 6’1.25” listing for Brosnan, it seems very logical.

Rampage, Brosnan may have edged out Roger Moore when both men were at their peak heights, it is not out of the question. In any case, it would have been a close call. Both men exercised brilliant posture, but I thought Brosnan’s posture was slightly superior to Moore’s. I feel Brosnan was probably taller than Moore if we go by their heights when they played James Bond. Moore was not much over 6’1” by the time of Live and Let Die. I know Brosnan eventually overtook Moore in height.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 9/Aug/20
That being said I’d add a fraction to his peak and leave his current height alone

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 9/Aug/20
Slim 6’1’, i don’t think it’s fair

Slim 6'1" said on 8/Aug/20
lost 2cm at least now hes an old man

Slim 6'1" said on 8/Aug/20
quarter inch upgrade would be fulfilling

Black Fish 123 said on 6/Aug/20
He's looking more 6'0 1/2 now.

Hulk.23 said on 5/Aug/20
I think he was for sure 6’1.25/186cm at peak. Today I think he’s still in the 6’1 range, maybe a solid 185cm man I think he has lost just a small fraction

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 29/Jul/20
Berta, I think it’s possible Ferrell at 53 hasn’t lost really anything and was always around 190cm. On the other hand Pierce at 67 is at an age where guys lose an inch but not so much in his case!

I think 186.5-187cm peak, 185cm today

berta said on 25/Jul/20
hm if well ferrell is 190 cm then pierce is 185 today but if will is the 189 current that he is listed now then maybe pierce is down to 184 today. i see 5 cm beetween them. its hard to believe pierce could have been 187 when he looks that mutch shorter than will today i cant see pierce have lost more than max 2 cm, he have great posture.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 10/Jul/20
You’re right Viper, he was 6ft1½

viper said on 26/Jun/20
Pierce looks 6-0 at most next to Will

He was never 6-1

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 26/Jun/20
He looks a weak 6ft1 w/h Ferrell but 20 years ago on SNL looked less than 2in shorter and Will was likely 6ft3 then

Vsquad said on 25/Jun/20
Wow just saw Pierce next to Will Ferrell. Not sure he looked as strong as 6'0.75 next to him, definitely 2 full inches between them

James roy said on 22/Jun/20
He looked a solid 2 inches next to Owen Wilson in No Escape

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 18/Jun/20
There’s another interview Ross did with Brosnsn years before for Goldeneye where Pierce was taller

berta said on 16/Jun/20
how was jonathan ross maybe 2 cm taller than him over 10 years back when both still was at peak. and ross is listed at 185 ? i think both those guys was 186 and ross maybe had shoe advantage.

Jam Cherry said on 6/Jun/20
I would say peak is 186.5 cm and currently 185 cm on a good day

First episode of Remington Steele, next to James Read (6.2) he's clearly shorter by a big margin, possibly 2 inches.

Rich137 said on 23/Apr/20
After watching the movie Foreigner 2017. I would say he looks 6ft. But his co-star Rory Fleck Byrne looks taller than him. Yet he only claims 5.11ft. Unless heels are used for him of course?

QM6'1QM said on 13/Apr/20
Maybe real 6'1 at his peak and 183.5 cm/ 6'0.25" today for sure. Should be honest!

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 10/Apr/20
Berta, I think in the 80’s-90’s (I.e. Remington Steele, Taffin, Lawnmower Man etc.) he could pull look 188cm. But then in something like Thomas Crown Affair looked more 185cm.


6ft1½ could be on the money peak. That’s actually 186.7cm

berta said on 9/Apr/20
guys we all know he never was 187-188 thats just extreme, but 186-187 isnt imposiblle he looked 186,5 range alot when he was skinny. But at the same time he could llok 6´1 flat alot to i think the listing is good and can see argument for a tinnt fraction over thart

Paris looks more like you'd expect a son of his to look like, Dylan didn't get that polished look.

If Will Ferrell was 6-3 this would still be too high of a listing.

In all honesty Ferrell looked to have 2.5-3 inches on him.

viper said on 5/Jan/20
Saw him at the Golden Globes on stage with Will Ferrell.

This is way too much even If you believe Ferrell's 6-2.5 listing.

Absolutely no taller than 6-0.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 16/Nov/19
No I definitely see at least 4in between them. Brosnan could still be about 6ft1 today. The son looks a good 6ft5

Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 13/Nov/19

Well Christian, you can tell that to Rob because it’s HIS idea, not mine...besides I don’t see what’s so offensive about it. If it was skin colour, religion or sexual orientation then yes there’d be a problem

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 26/Sep/19
Importer, it's fair to say that he was. He made it to 60 without any noticeable loss...in fact I think today he's no more than 2cm from his peak height (which I still think was closer to 187cm). He can still look 6ft1 now.

Click Here Dylan's height have over estimated to be 6'5 and here next to his dad (closer to camera) they look 2.25" difference.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 27/May/19
I just around to Taffin and he’s barely shorter than Patrick Bergin (solid 6ft3) and towers over Allison Doody (5ft8-9). Also about 2in on Jeff Fahey in Lawnmower Man. Really I think anywhere from 6ft1¼-6ft1¾ is debatable for his peak and nowadays might still hit 6ft1 on a good day, definitely not lower than the current height

🎁🕵️🎂 Happy Birthday Pierce! 🎂🕵️🎁

Have a great 66th Birthday today, Pierce!

My favourite of this guy's films are 'Lawnmower Man' and 'The Long Good Friday'. Both movies show Pierce at his peak height.

6ft1.5 optimum and 6ft0.75 nowadays.

Truth Seeker said on 26/Apr/19
I shook his hand backstage at a premiere in 1997, and he was changing from one pair of dress shoes into dress boots, and was barely 5’10” in his stocking feet.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 23/Apr/19
Rob, I think what you were saying in 05’ is still on point today

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 17/Apr/19
Nah, “tall, dark and handsome” was the trademark. Anywhere from 6ft1 to 6ft3 is ideal. Before Craig, they all ticked that box. He’s meant to be taller than most but still able to blend in and obviously be put in siuations where he’s outsized and has to use brains rather than brawn. If a 6ft4-5 guy played Bond it would start to look ridiculous. For instance Liam Neeson would have been an awful Bond. But at the same time he’s meant to have a certain presence physically...that’s why Connery was brilliant.

For a character like Bond average height would make far more sense than above average. Bond isn't supposed to be a physical brute, he's a spy. His specialty is blending in, his combat ability is primarily in firearms and even when he does fight hand to hand he relies on skill rather than strength. I think the original character in the novels is trained in Judo.

I'm pretty sure in the novels he was described as average in looks and stature too. An ordinary man caught up in extraordinary situations.


Bond was described as 6 foot in the books and the average male height in the 50's was 5'8". So Bond was the equivalent of a 6'1" -6'2" guy today. Nothing to do with average at all. Master tactician/hand to hand specialist what you smoking man? Bond is a male power fantasy haha.

Alot of the actors were 6'1" or near 6'2" who played him in film, Daniel craig was certainly the shortest and with modern height standards a guy who is indeed plain average.

He’s not as low as 6ft today

Michael 5'10", 178 cm said on 31/Dec/18
He looked 6'1" in the Bond movies and about 6'0" in the Foreigner with Jackie Chan. 6'1" sounds right for Pierce, he apparently reached his full height at 11 years old, he's barely 6 foot today.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 7/Dec/18

Sandy Cowell said on 19/Nov/18
@ Arch Stanton:

Re: Sean Connery - I couldn't agree more! There is NOTHING WHATSOEVER gawky about Sean Connery; not now, not then, not ever! 😊👍

Rising - 174 cm said on 19/Nov/18
Pierce was barely taller than a 68 year old Roger Moore so I doubt he was more than Rob lists him. I mean if he was listed 6'1" early then it's doubtful he was much, if any, taller.

Arch Stanton said on 18/Nov/18
Connery gawky Lol??? Not even slightly. Nicholas Lyndhurst or Jarvis Cocker maybe.

Arch Stanton said on 18/Nov/18
Stallone is 72 now though but I know what you mean!

@Spencer

I agree with you Spencer, Pierce currently looks 6'1" as of now.

Spencer said on 11/Nov/18
6'1.75" peak
6'1" today

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 6/Nov/18
Berta alternatively just give him 186.7cm. That's exactly 6ft1½ and he looked it consistently in the 80's-90's, that or a weak 6ft2. I don't think a 30 year old Brosnan was any shorter than a peak Colin Firth, if anything he had the edge


I'd tweak his current height to 6ft0⅞(185.1cm), not convinced he's just 184cm.

berta said on 3/Nov/18
sometimes today he can look only 184. i dont know if its just posture. But he always have good posture to it cant be it. Sometimes i think 186,5 range is possible for peak but i at the same time dont believe he have lost more than 1-1,5 cm in height max. 186 peak and 184,5 today is good estimate

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 9/Sep/18

Has anyone seen his pics with Roger Federer ? I don’t understand he just looks 5’10” in those ?

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 2/Aug/18
I think it's fair to say that Brosnan may lost a tiny bit more than Firth because he's 8 years older. I agree with Berta that he could still measure around 185cm. I can't see him at just 184cm though.


Brosnan: 6ft1½ peak, 6ft0⅞ today
Firth: 6ft1⅜ peak, 6ft1 today


Didn't really think there was much between them in Mamma Mia 2, certainly not 1in anyway

CDS said on 1/Aug/18
@rampage: In the 1st mamma mia 10 yrs ago, I could've sworn Colin edged out pierce then too, it just didn't seem by as much? I was surprised honestly, especially since I didn't actually think firth was that tall. So that confirms firth to be the 6'1" he claims?

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 1/Aug/18
10 years ago Brosnan edged out Firth

CDS said on 30/Jul/18
Just seen mamma Mia here we go again. And was surprised to see now that Colin firth consistently edged out pierce throughout the entire film by a good inch. I think pierce in his prime was a solid 6'1" (6'2" in shoes). So if Colin in 6'1" as he's listed here, is it possible pierce has dropped to a flat 6' these days? 6'2" skellan skarsgard also looked noticeably taller than pierce the entire film..

berta said on 28/Jul/18
i i think brosnan was one of the few 6 foot 1 3/8 at peak. today maybe 185 cm flat. He can sometimes look 184 today. but i believe he is over that when measured

Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 9/Jul/18
Look more like 6'0 1/2 to 6'0 5/8 with his 6'5 son Dylan Brosnan.

James B 171.5cm said on 21/Jun/18
In the bond films really didnt look that tall.

Maybe because he has such a big head makes him look shorter?

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 11/Jun/18
I think peak was at least the same as Firth (186.4cm)

diavolo said on 29/Apr/18
Terry: Right. Ian Fleming initially disliked the casting of Connery as Bond in Dr. No, because he thought he's too tall and too dark for the role. Later, when he saw Connery's portrayal, he changed his mind and grew to like his Bond persona despite the apparent difference between the literary and the film character's physical appearance. After Connery's success, the filmmakers opted to cast actors of similar height and appearance until Daniel Craig came along and they kinda returned to the original character in the novels.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 7/Apr/18
Both guys generally looked 186-187cm zone in their primes but I personally would give Brosnan the edge

Rory said on 7/Apr/18
I think in the 90s Brosnan looked 2cms taller than Moore, so Brosnan 186cm and a 67 year old Moore 184cm. At his peak though in the 1960s Moore would have been indistinguishable from Brosnan

QM6'1QM said on 4/Apr/18
I think, he's completely honest with the statement "6'2 on a good day". Definitely he was not above this in the morning (at his peak). Peak height: 6'1.25"/ 186 cm.
Height nowadays: 6'0.5-.75"/ 184 cm range.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 3/Apr/18
Rob, is it possible you temporarily had Pierce at 6ft2 back in 05'?



Certainly seems he was once down here at 6ft1½ looking at the archives

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 3/Apr/18
I reckon Moore was still at least 6ft range in the 90's so Brosnan does look to be 6ft1½ in comparison

Erik9012 said on 31/Mar/18
Pierce and Roger looked close in height. This picture is from 1995 when Goldeneye was premiered. Pierce has a slight advantage so I'd guess he was about 1/4 inch less of 6ft2.

Click Here

Terry said on 26/Mar/18
The real James Bond types are short!so to all the people commenting on here saying Daniel Craig is too short to be Bond are just uneducated. Back to Pierce Brosnan's height then, yes he is tall, about 187cm.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 13/Feb/18
His son is actually 6ft5, possibly even a bit more

jonas said on 10/Feb/18
His son is listed 6"4 but looks 4.5 inches taller

Of course, we shouldn't just hand them out blindly

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 30/Jan/18
Rob, how about tweaking this to 6ft1⅜?


That's if you're still unsure of giving him 6ft1½

Psychedelic Earth 187 said on 16/Jan/18
Probably has dipped to 184cm by 2018. But 187cm is arguable in prime.

James B said on 4/Jan/18
Rick- that could be why they chose Daniel Craig as bond.

Average in looks and height

Z186 said on 4/Jan/18
Also, we don't need to debate the ideal height for Bond actor... As the writer actually decided his measurements so we don't have to .... In the novel From Russia With Love he clearly describes Bond as 183cm and 76kg (whether that is in shoes or not, I don't know, so I suppose the least he could be is 5'11 / 75 kg.... and he is described as having a swimmers physique, though not in the same novel if I remember correctly.

I'm not sure if @Rob knows but I think average height might have gone up by half an inch in 50 years, so you could factor that in if you wanted to be picky, but according to Northwestern University anthropologist William Leonard “We’ve pretty well maxed out in terms of stature” for humans

Z186 said on 4/Jan/18
@Ramage seems different to most who would downgrade celebs - he wants them to be taller than they actually are!
IMO Pierce would have written 6'2 in the directory is he was that or just below (187)... just seems strange that actors seem to grow an inch or two miraculously after becoming famous.

No way was Connery 188 without shoes, he is never really a head taller than many of his female co-stars- and domino (in thunderbolt) who might be five-ten in heels, is nearly as tall as him!
Women tend to tell the truth about their height more than men (because they aren't bothered) so it's often better to compare men with with known female celebs.

Peak would have been not too far off 6'2.
Current I would say a flat 6'1.

Christian-6'5 3/8 said on 3/Jan/18
@Rampage

Any height for 007 is fine as long as the actor's above average in height. I wouldn't call 6'0" too short for any action role.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 1/Jan/18
6ft3 is fine but not over. Connery at a strong 6ft2 did not look gawky at all. He looked the most masculine. I think 6ft is to low for 007.

185cm-190cm perfect range...now let's get back to Pierces height

avi said on 30/Dec/17
I think the perfect Bond height is 6'1.
6'3 (legit 6'3) is too tall.
Connery at 6'2 was even looking a bit gawky at times.

I'd even go as far as agreeing with grizz that a strong 5'11 guy who is trim can pull it off.

Daniel Craig must be 5'10 flat. His build is too muscular too. Not sure what was going through their head the day he was cast as Bond.

grizz said on 27/Dec/17
I agree with Rory- 5'11-6'3 is the perfect range for playing Bond. Over 6'3 and you're entering the henchman territory,as someone mentioned (it's a common practice in the movies that the good guy is always shorter or weaker than the bad guy, some David and Goliath metaphor,I guess).

And yes, Fleming's Bond is described as a 6footer,but bear in mind that the book was written in the 50s when UK's national average was 0.5-1in shorter than today. So,IMO, 6'0.5-6'1 is the perfect height to play Bond nowadays.
Cavill is bang-on perfect for that role, even 10 years after his 1st audition. He even doesn't have to get shredded for the role, Craig's muscular physique worked out perfectly for Bond's box office performance

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 26/Dec/17
No he claimed 6ft2 on a good day which to me implies 6ft1½ range peak and looking at Bond, pre-Bond it's plausible. Even in Remember Me just 7 years ago he looked a good inch taller than Robert Pattinson.


He's still close to 6ft1 today

The Shredder said on 25/Dec/17
He was always just 6'1 and even claimed , 6'0.5 now is correct but no lower.

Kevin said on 25/Dec/17
6'0.5 at best nowadays. 6'1.25 peak

btw Bond in Fleming's novels is said to be 183cm, so 6'0 is really be the ideal height for Bond not 6'1-6'3 like many people think.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 24/Dec/17
I strongly disagree Rob. I think at worst a fraction under 6ft1 today

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 24/Dec/17
I think Pierce still looks around 6ft1 today

Animus said on 24/Dec/17
Rob, what do you think his current height is? He looks to me like he is in the six-foot range. His arms look disproportionately long, which could indicate he has lost a lot of height.

Allie said on 23/Dec/17
Rob how do you think is his son, Dylan now? Surely he can't be just 6'4 like google claims.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 20/Dec/17
Psychedelic, I think 6ft1-2 is the most ideal 007 height but up to 6ft3 is acceptable aswell. A guy Joe Mangeniello's size would look ridiculous in the role though...he'd start to look like a henchman

Dear Rob before I ask my question I want to tell you that I'm a big fan of yours.and I'm new at this site. rob this question may be off topic but only an height expert like you can ans this.my question is that a person only looks tall at a height of 6 feet 1.agreed by the majoroty .and when ever I see legit tall person and I ask him his height the claim is mostly 6 feet 1, and mostly everybody now days lie about their height.thus do you think the people who we think are genuinely tall are and I'm only talking about 6 feet 1 men.are one inch shorter then their real height making them 6 feet in reality . and thus making the traditional 6 feet mark tall or maybe it was always tall because all of the 6 feet people claiming 6 feet 1 and all the 5 10 and 511 claiming 6 feet and making that mark short thus do you think all the 6 foot people are genuinely tall and claim 6 feet 1 because of the 5 feet 11 men rob plz ans this question I need your opinion. And by the way I think rob has Pierce height bang on .

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 17/Dec/17
I think 6ft1 to 6ft3 is the ideal height for 007

Rory said on 16/Dec/17
Bond I think should really be minimum 5ft11 and maximum 6ft3 and age wise no younger than 35 and no older than 50. In that sense Brosnan and Dalton were the perfect age and heights as Bond.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 13/Dec/17
I'm not a Craig fan...I'm sorry. I'm a traditionalist and Brosnan brought the most authenticity to the role after Connery. Dalton and Moore were on the extreme ends...one too serious the other too comical

James B said on 13/Dec/17
Him being blonde didn't effect the box office either

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 12/Dec/17
In shoes he should be near 6ft3

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 12/Dec/17
I can believe 6ft2 in the morning

James B said on 11/Dec/17
Rob i have seen all the bond films with Roger Moore recently and I must say pierce brosnan pales in comparison too Moore as 007.

Connery and Moore were the best as bond but Daniel craig and Pierce are tedious.

6'1.5 peak maybe 6'1" now

Tom King because he was clearly standing closer to the camera...

Tom King said on 4/Dec/17
I have seen Roger Federer more times and i`m 6 ft.1.5 and i was a this 0.5 in taller. I also have seen later the photos with Roger and Pierce standing on grass, not the best ground. But i think Roger is about 0.5 in taller then Pierce, and Roger is a 6ft 1in, so Pierce must be 6ft maybe out of bed in his youth a bit more, but never more than 6ft 0.25in.

Listing seems accurate looked over 6 1 in 80s maybe very early 90s.
By his bond days had already started shrinking, he looked tiny in the horrible 3rd.
He often looks a weak to strong 6 foot now but he is getting up there.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 25/Oct/17
Remember 6ft1½ is usually rounded up to 187cm (it's really 186.7cm) so it's not a huge leap to give him it. That and still roughly 6ft1 today, not convinced he's 184cm range.

Rory said on 1/Oct/17
I suppose it's possible guys like Dalton and Brosnan might have rounded down in an attempt to avoid being typecast, they may have been trying to avoid going down an action hero type career so were trying to play their height down. Having said that you can't rule out the chance that actually were just 6ft1 range. I think tbf to Brosnan in some of those 90s pictures with Dalton and Moore he might have been stood on uneven ground.

Rory said on 30/Sep/17
Yh those pictures from the 90s of Dalton,Moore and Brosnan are quite bizarre. Moore you'd have expected to have lost maybe 0.75 inch by then so he naturally would have looked around 184cm but Dalton looks 6ft2 and strangest of all Brosnan looks 6foot there, no more.

Back in his prime (GoldenEye, James Bond days) no doubt 6'1". In GoldenEye he only looked near an inch taller if that than Famke Janssen. Definitely 6ft range now. My father met him 5 years ago in Hawaii. My old man is a weak 6ft and Pierce had about a quarter of an inch on him. He has that tall appearance about him as well so I'm not surprised people would think the lad is taller than he is.

Anon said on 5/Sep/17
Never over 6', if that.

Ted said on 2/Sep/17
For some reason he never looked tall to me. Years ago, I was surprised to hear he was this height. A solid 6' 2'' is definitely pushing it.

186cm.
