Moore might have been 6'1" when he was 20, but as James Bond he never looked any more than six foot.

I do think that Moore was taller than most people give him credit for and I'm not saying that because he's now passed (still hasn't sunk in with me yet). He shared the screen with some big men like Yaphett Kotto, Christopher Lee, Curt Jurgens and Jeffrey Holder. Richard Kiel wasn't a great person to compare height against because he'd make anyone look average or short. But when you see him next to guys a bit closer to his range like Julian Glover (6ft2), Michael Lonsdale (6ft1) or Christopher Walken (6ft0½) the listed height isn't unreasonable.

I think Roger Moore was taller than most people think. He's probably the most unpopular Bond so people underestimate them. Popularity always makes people taller; e.g. the Rock is loved but it is hard to argue the dude was ever over 1.88. Connery wasn't over 1.88 either. Craig is lower than 1.78. Moore faced tall opponents in his movies. The bad guys in "live and let die" were over 6'3''(!), Richard Kiel is self-explanatory, Drax in Moonraker was also 6'1''...
1.87 for Moore, most of the day!

In Gold (1974) Roger Moore had about 1.5 inches on Milland who was 186 peak but had lost height. I do think Moore looked a legit 187 in that film.

I dont think he ever really looked 6ft 2 even in the Saint days. He certainly didn't give as tall an impression on screen as someone like Connery. I reckon peak he fell to 186cm at night. No idea what he'd be today but I'd guess 5'11 range.

there is a few guys on this site that say everyone is 4 cm shorter than their listing and always say " he is wearing lifts" this is very bad backtalking. If you dont know personally that a guy wears lifts dont say it . tell rumours is a bad thing. this guy is clear as day he didnt wear lifts and he was atleast 6 foot 1. not shorter could have been taller but if he was i dont think he was over 186. cant see this guy taller than costner.

I'm currently watching an enormously entertaining little film called, 'The Man Who Haunted Himself'! If I'd known just how entertaining it would be, I wouldn't have gone downstairs for an extended tea break, thus missing a large chunk of it!
It was made in 1970, when the naughtiest word used in film was 'bloody', (and there's a lot of that!), and an insult is being called an 'old croc, ha ha yah' and if someone's cross, it's like, 'what the Devil do you think you're doing?'
I've been laughing my butt off!
Roger is getting in all sorts of trouble with his wife, his pretty girlfriend who he barely knows and being shown the way to the psychiatrist's waiting room! That's because there are two of him!
He died on an operating table and that resulted in the creation of another one, exactly the same - how very scientific!!!
I was expecting Roger to be tall and he is! 6ft1-2 was my estimate, and he is bang in the middle at 6ft1.5! I am pleased with that!
I also find myself liking him beyond all expectations, as I am NOT a Bond fan! He is quite a gent in this yarn instead of the conceited, self-serving Bond! Of course, with the year being 1970, Roger is at his peak height.

I never really got a solid 6ft 2 impression from Moore in anything he starred in, that's why I'm slightly sceptical of this 6'1.5 listing as I feel a 187cm leading man would pull off 6ft 2 most of the time, but to me he always looked under it. 6'1.5 at midday is probable which makes this current listing reasonable but after a day on set probably 186cm flat.

If he was a solid 187 then Michael Caine was a solid 188.5 which few people have ever tried to argue. Most judge him to have been 187-8. I think nearer 186 at night is more feasible for Moore.

Always looked and stood 6 foot plus even into his forties.
Doubt he regularly wore much footwear had many barefoot shots still tall.
Greg still has him beat into the 80s so he was not over 6 2.
As for his bond he was average height and ability lazy eye was bad Dalton was ok but Connery did it first.
Craig is hit or miss obviously short for role also too intense.
Brosnan was good not any taller than Moore better actor.

I thought Brosnan gave off a taller impression on screen than Moore did, but then if Brosnan rly was taller than Moore it's hard to explain why a peak Brosnan only looks half an inch taller than a 67 yr old Moore.

No Bruno, I wasn't alive in 1973. I've no idea why they replaced 29-year-old Lazenby with somebody who was close to retirement age. Moore was the oldest Bond by far, and the shortest until Craig.

I stood about 5 yards from Ryan Tubridy in 2009. He is not 6'2.5 inches. At most he is 6'1, his very slim build makes appear taller. He stands and greets his guests as they come on and has been noticeably shorter- four inches easily - than genuine 6'5 guys like Tim Robbins and Paul O'Connell. Niall Quinn, a strong 6'4, was also quote a bit taller. Roger is probably 5'11 max today, 6'1 max at his peak.

6'1'' or 6'2'' people are common in everyday life so I don't find it impossible to believe that some famous people are actually quite tall. Moore may have claimed 6'2'' while being only 6'1'' and a bit, in my experience most men state their height as a little more than it probably is. Unless you have been measured at the doctors office with a stadiometer (prob spelt that wrong) which few people have it is likely difficult to be certain about your height.

If Caine is 6'2, which I'm happy to believe, then Moore to me seems like touching 6'1 from the earliest images of the 2 together and possibly touching 6'0 these days. On the subject of being slight - anyone Lee Marvin described as a big, genuinely tough guy isn't slight or a wimp. If anything he did too good a job of becoming what he wasn't in terms of class when he became an actor that he lost the outer layer of the rougher, working class guy he was.

James/Tom/Alex/whoever- During the period Roger Moore played 007,he wore a small piece to conceal a bald patch at the crown of his head. This isn't a secret with him-like Connery,Sir Roger freely acknowledges his baldness-although in his case,it's considerablly less than Sir Sean's. This isn't a wig. If you stole from your mom in your childhood an apple can this fact means that you will a bank robber as adult? Your argument is fail.

I read a comment on forum where the Bond heights was being debated. This guy stated he was a 6'1'' policeman and that he had seen Roger Moore in person and that he was bigger than he was. This wasn't a young Moore either. I just think this site has got it right with 6'1.5''. I do think people should try and stick to height on this site as Rob himself has requested. It's OK to mention you think Moore wasn't ideal casting for Bond given his age or whatever but continuously posting about it is going off topic.

He was 186 IMO, looked that with Peck and Lee. I got a good look at him in some of his late 70s/early 80s films weeks back and I really think that would be right, difficult to see him same height as Coburn and Garner..
Roughly 5 or 6 years back Moore was on the Paul o Grady show and he actually looked easily 6 ft with O'Grady and Jerry Hall. I doubt he'd be just 5 ft 10 now. Has he lost more height in last few years? I've not seen him of late.

Rob, do you think ultimately 6'1.25 would be close for Moore ? He looks shorter than guys 6'1.5-2 guys like James Garner and Caine, plus has claimed 6'1.5,6'1 and 6'2 in the morning all of which hints at 6'1.25-5. In the last Bond too with Christopher Walken he only just edged him, okay he was late fifties then and may have lost half an inch but that still puts him more in the strong 6'1 range peak.

All the Bonds were similar in height 6'1'' to 6'2'' until Daniel Craig. I didn't think he was right for the part a sentiment shared with many others I guess. How he proved the doubters wrong. You don't have to be physically imposing in real life to have a big screen presence. The camera loves certain people. As for Moore it's pretty clear that his height is somewhere between 6'1'' to 6'2''.

"About 30" So a guy who is just out of Uni, no experience as Bond? No thanks, the films portray him as being an experienced operative. So that means late 30's at least.
Contray to belief men between 40-55 aren't elderly. Its laughable really as I see many guys those ages doing my job everyday and keeping up with 18 year olds. Ofc once you get to late 50's and certainly your 60's there seems to be a drop in your energy levels. Seen many guys around 58 yrs starting to work part time because of this. Also the reason why in hard jobs you can go in pension at 58-60 unlike desk jobs thats now 67 yrs here.
And no Im not in that group, 35 years old here although noone thinks im over 28 yrs. Keep yourself healthy and fit as you start to age and you will be surprised at the outcome.
My oldest co-worker is 62 yrs old and noone thinks he is more than 50.
Moore did look good for his age when he was in his 40's and early 50's. Towards the end yes he was getting old but he still pulled it off. A Danile Craig type Bond? No he wouldn't have managed that.

The Bond films are guaranteed to be successful whoever plays the part, especially then when there were only two or three TV channels, no videos and no computers. No Bond film has ever lost money.

If the public hadn't liked Moore and the films been unsuccessful the producers would have got rid of him very quickly. The Moore films made hundreds of millions as a result of what you consider the worst decision in film history. These film producers must be idiots with no business acumen according to your logic.

After all George Lazenby was only 30 in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", so I don't see why they then cast someone 15 years older.

Moore was a great Bond in my opinion. Times have changed and people watching the films for the first time now might not like them particularly or relate to the humour. What matters is how they were perceived at the time and the Moore films were very successful when they were released. Twenty years from now young people maybe looking at the Craig films and laughing at how awful they are. Maybe Craig's very serious approach will be considered hilarious given the underlying absurdity of the Bond movies. A lot of young people think the original Star Wars films are terrible in my experience although there is this view they are the gold standard. Plus no man could do in reality the stuff Bond does in the movies no matter how young and fit they are. The films are fantasy.

Yeah I am not a huge fan of Moore as James Bond either. I think a lot of people and (myself including) agree that Connery was the best bond.
Credit to Moore though he is much more tolerable as bond than Daniel Craig is.

That's a bit harsh, James. I loved the humour he brought. But he may have outstayed his welcome after Moonraker. I think the unwritten rule should be that the actor is in his early 40's when he starts and late 40's when he finishes (like Brosnan). Moore looked great at the start but not so much at the end.

6'1-ish I think is safe. It can mean 6'2 out of bed or in shoes, and covers anything in between. I liked Moore as Bond, though I think a push-up or two may have helped his believability. As stated earlier, I have no problem with Connery playing Bond at 52, or Moore as Bond in his 50's. People don't just dry up and become Walmart greeters at 50. However, it might have made more sense if, at those ages, either man as Bond had found themselves in situations that sort of landed in their laps and they had to deal with them, as opposed to being active secret service agents.

When you think about it..Moore was 57/58 in View to a Kill..meanwhile Connery at that age was acting as an old wise curmudgeon in The Untouchables..so the idea of Connery say playing Bond at that age would be comical 20 yrs after hed first vacated the role. Even when he played it in Never say never again aged 53 it was played part spoof...Moore played the role for real when he was even older lol in VTAKill. Definitely should have gone after Moonraker or latest For your eyes only.

I think Timothy Dalton was the most believable James Bond character, that's not to say I enjoyed watching his films or portrayal the most though. Moore was a well suited actor to playing a suave womanizing posh Englishman which was part of the character but utterly unconvincing as a killer/combater..he shouldn't have continued into the '80s..well past it by View to a kill where the idea of him killing bad guys had become even more absurd. Solid 186 at night peak, nearer 185 at night by VTAKill.

Some Moore knockers on this site. He was a very good Bond I believe and the films did well. He admits himself that the way he played the part wouldn't work for the younger generation today but at the time he was the right man for the job. Don't believe he was much if any under 6'2'' and the only film where he really looked too old for the role was the last one. At the end of the day the films are fantasy and Moore always seemed ready to let the audience in on the joke. I don't think the Craig or Connery films are any less preposterous than the Moore films although they may play the part in a more intense fashion.

Christopher Lee towers over Moore when they stand back to back but maybe ground is not flat. Someone has posted on Youtube a clip of a 1960s Variety Show event with various stars. Roger Moore stands next to Clint Walker and English heavyweight boxer Billy Walker. Roger is taller than Billy but shorter than Clint. He is not dwarfed by 6'6'' Clint Walker though. Moore looks a few inches shorter but not by a great extent. People doubt Moore's height as being 6'2'' but I think it is probably correct.

186 is definitely arguable, I doubt he'd have been 6'1 flat or lower though. With Peck he looked 186 to me. And that also adds up with Christopher Lee. I think I saw him The Last Time I Saw Paris from about 1954 though where he could easily look 187 in a few scenes with Van Johnson, so if you go with peak height in his 20s, 187 is OK.

Moore was obviously wearing lifts there because in 1983 photographs he was two inches shorter than Caine and Connery.

Mmm, if you watch The Sea Wolves he was only about 50 at the time, shot in 1979. Doubt he'd have lost height. He looks a good two inches shorter than 190-1cm Gregory Peck, who was about 63 at the time. Now we know Peck lost height later on as he was looking 6'1 a lot. But really 187 looks too high, he really looks about 185cm with Peck.

Again no arguments. Timothy Dalton has the chance to be a good Bond in the late '80s. He wasn't the good choice from Broccoli. Look at the Oscar ceremony in 1989 when Connery and Caine stand face to face and than came Moore and he was joking a lot...Moore was the same height at age 61-62 as Connery. 2 inches shorter? Please, see more movies.

Dalton would have been too young in the 70's. The part is tailored for a guy in his late 30's/early 40's. Moore was approaching the sell-by-date when he got cast but still managed to pull it off. I think Dalton should have taken over from Roger in 1981 and gone right up to 1989.

I think Moore was young looking for his age at the time he was cast as Bond hence him getting the role. Admittedly by the time of the later films he did look a little too old for the part but the movies were still fun. Doesn't look that big on screen but get the feeling he was a pretty big guy in real life, when you see him next to tall actors he isn't usually dwarfed but stacks up well. Struck me as guy who could laugh at himself and although a big star didn't develop a huge ego. This comes across in the tongue in cheek nature of the Bond films he made. I realise some prefer the more serious films but I actually appreciate Moore in the role more these days than when I was younger. John Glen the director said when Roger was on set it was a pleasure to come into work as he was such a great guy.

Die another Day was in 2002, Brosnan was born in 1953. So yes he stopped before his 50th birthday.
Never say Never again was in 1983, Connery was 53 yrs old then. He was born in 1930.
Moore stopped when he was 58, still didnt look bad for his age though. He was only 46 in Live and let die though, i still think thats a decent age for Bond.
In my opinion anything between 35-50 is good for Bond. He is supposed to be an experienced operative not some hairless youngster out the academy.

Brosnan was far older when he was done and Connery was 40's when he starred in Diamonds are Forever.
Daniel Craig is also 40's.

Moore was tall and slim like Brosnan or Dalton. I reckon 185lbs early on and closer to 200lbs in the later Bond movies. Connery, Lazenby and Craig are larger framed guys.

Moore was always of slight build and not believable as a tough secret agent. It's hilarious to suggest he was ever 210 lbs!

"Moore was not a big guy. At six foot he only weighed eleven and a half stone."
Garbage. He was over 210lbs before he became Bond and then slimmed down to 180lbs for the role. He's barrel-chested.

watching him in episode 7 of the persuaders, walking around barefoot he's clearly at least 6'1 without shoes...

Frankly I'm surprised he was cast as James Bond considering he was already 45. That wouldn't happen today.

186-187 during the day as a young man, no doubt. Also quite large-framed, albeit not muscular and trained by any means.
You have to take into account that the villains in his Bond movies were awfully big - Jaws (7'+), Curt Jürgens (6'4''), almost all of the black guys in "Live and Let Die" (6'4''+), Christopher Lee (6'4+) and the Drax guy was also 6'1'', when he faced Christopher Walken (6') he probably had shrunk quite a bit already (and lost skeletal frame), so, I cannot blame people for getting the impression that he was not a big guy but they are wrong.

Interesting that he claimed 6'1.5" in Mario's video. It's consistent with his 6'2" morning claim. Maybe splitting hairs, but he usually gives more of a 6'1" 185-186 cm impression to me. He's probably closer to 5'10" today at 88.

Christopher Lee was 6'4" in "The Man with the Golden Gun", so Moore was six foot or 6'0.5".
Moore was two inches shorter than Michael Caine and Sean Connery irl, so he was never 6'1".
He probably wore built up shoes for movies.

...Just food for thought; I've read many accounts that Burt Reynolds wore 2inch lifts...with 2 inch heeled boots, giving him 4 extra inches. I read this from his own costumer, or whatever the guy's position was. I saw Burt in person, and his boots tell the tale. They look so tiny because he's pretty much on his tip toes, already, in them, due to lifts. One look at the back of his boots...where the curve of a heel would be, shows it all. It's extended looking, and very obvious lifts are inside. So, him being taller than Moore in Cannonball Run really isn't indicative of anyone's height. I say Moore was 6'1, probably 5'11, now. I'm 50, and have lost no height.

In "The Man With The Golden Gun" Moore looked every bit of four inches shorter than Christopher Lee. All in all, I really doubt that Moore was less than 6'1 at his peak. There is plenty of film and photo evidence to prove that he was in this range. In the Bond films, Moore appears to be as tall as Connery was with the same actors (M, Q, Moneypenny). I think 6'1.5 is a slight stretch though.

Roger Moore is no way even close to 6 1 and a half. He was 55 years of age when he did the cannonball run with Burt Reynolds,Dean Martin etc.you can see Burt Reynolds and Roger Moore standing side by side at the end Moore standing a good 3 inches shorter than Burt Reynolds who is 5 foot 11 inches. But same height as Dean Martin who was never really that tall in the first place. Now I know people are supposed to shrink a quarter of an inch after 30 for every decade after and in that case Roger Moore would have shrunk to 5 feet.. Actors ie about their height all the time. the taller the male actor the more masculine he feels..Its a guy thing to make yourself taller than your true height. Roger Moore could easily be 5 foot 7 in height now

He was 6ft1 range till the late 80's at least. Stood eye-to-eye w/h Caine, Connery and Kline at the Oscars in '88.
Possibly nearer 6ft2 in the 60's-70's.

Moore was close to 6'1" as a young man, but he was only six foot by 1983, which is why he looked 2 inches shorter than Sean Connery and Michael Caine in a photograph. He probably had special shoes in movies.

@Rampage - in the 1950's... most likely not very accurate and porbably whilst wearing shoes. They didn't bother too much with correct barefoot measurements back then.
I never saw Moore look anything over 1.85m next to Connery or Michael Caine who were the same height in the 70's, and neither has anyone else...
