Very similar height to prime Moore... definitely not the tallest Bond, Lazenby or Dalton would be the tallest so far...
Sean looks about 184cm more recently... looks about the same with ronaldinho as Frank Lampard does...

With all the pics of him beside 6-footers I think it's safe to assume Connery was somewhere between 186-187 at the most during his 'peak'
That would also make sense as he was measured at 6' 2.4" WITH SHOES in his bodybuilding days (this was 1950's, nobody was that bothered with exact barefoot measurements)

Some claimed Connery was 6'3", which I do not believe, Connery was a bodybuilder for a while, I think he was 6'2.5" in his youth, and while he was Bond he was 6'2" without shoes,
You do realise he was only about 31 or 32 when they shot Dr. No? The same age as I am now. I still consider myself a young man and I can assure you I've not lost height yet, well at least the last time I checked anyway!

yeah, i think maybe 6'0.5" is the best choice from those pictures, however you need to consider that at first Connery and Murray have both similar shoes, and also that Connery has very bad posture...i think (looking at his shoulder's level) he would edge out an honest 6' guy and if standing at his tallest he would be closer to 185 cms...

Looks more 184cm next to Andy Murray in that shot where they shake hands. At 82 as well..no doubt in my mind he was 6'2 at peak.

rob, recently he met Andy Murray (6'2") and considering that they had similar shoes, he didn't look much shorter than Andy... Click Here
actually i don't think he's more than 3 cms shorter than Andy and of Andy is 187,5 cms then Sean would be in the 185 cms zone, maybe 6'0.75"...[also with Alex Ferguson, who might be 5'10" today, he does look in the 6'1 zone]
what do you think, personally about his current height?

Joe, you dont lose height until 40 , IF that. Most people START at around 50ish, thats when they usually lose a quarter inch or something like that. After 55-60 is when you lose .5 inches- 1 inch and so on. What do you mean 6'2.5 in his ''youth''? You think you drop half an inch from 18 to 35? Seriously? someone as fit and healthy and robust as him lost .5 inches???!!! Come on, that guy was 6'2.25 out of bed and around 6'1.5 by night. still 6'2, almost 6'3 with shoes. My dad met him and my dad was 6'2.5 exactly (middayish)

I think 6'2" as peak height if the fairest choice.
In the january of 1989 he was, when he directed with Michael Caine the academy awards ceremony, as tall as Kevin Kline, who was for sure a genuine 6'1.5" guy...
Sean was 58-59 in that period, so i guess he hadn't still lost too much, not more than 0,5" for sure...they were both 6'1.5" in 1989.

No Mike, I absolutely disagree. Most of the pictures from Connery and Murray where they stand together or face to face are very bad for a correct comparison.
Murray talks about his height in his Twitter (6'1.5 - 187cm) but I can' believe that because his coach Ivan Lendl (former World Number One and great tennis player) is 6'2 (188cm) and I don't believe it that he shrunk for age 54 and Murray is slightly taller.
I gave Murray minimum 6'2.25 (about 189cm) and comparison with Connery, seems to me that Sean is now 6'1 (185cm). He shrunk but he's 84 years old now...

Sean was definitely 6'2" in his prime, not sure about today, but he was and still is the best James Bond. I grew up in a time where Roger Moore was Bond, Connery was the best and still is the best Bond. Apparently the producers saw Connery in Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan, but nothing compares to the original.

I think Sean Connery was 6'2" while he portrayed James Bond, he might have been 6'2.5" in the morning. He definitely lost height as he aged. I think he was about 6'1" when was in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. He was only slightly taller than his co-star Harrison Ford, who I would guess was around 6'0.5" in his prime.

Back in The Man Who Would Be King time, Connery and Michael Caine were very similar in height, more mm than cm between them. Although Sean is only a few years older, I think the pictures of them together show Connery started losing height a little earlier than Caine.

It amuses me that even in the face of valid info, some people still refuse to change their opinions. This sense of arrogance could in fact be why the world is so F'd up. Eon released the Bond heights. Eon is the company that produced the Bond films. Their tailors measured each and every Bond actor.
Conner: six feet one and one half inch.
Lazenby: six feet one and one half inch
Moore: Six feet one
Dalton Six feet two
Brosnan: Six feet one
They didn't list Craig, for some reason.
Maybe Connery is an out of bed 6'2" and dips a half an inch during the day. That is my exact height by the way. Or maybe he is 6'1 and 1/2 out of bed and was measured early in the AM. Who knows?
But please, let this end the debate of who the tallest Bond was. It is Timothy Dalton. Connery is most likely a weak 6'2" and let's leave it at that. Really, i trust EON over anyone else on this site. They, you know, actually MEASURED him.

He aged a huge amount between 1962 and 1972, in the Anderson Tapes he looks almost old enough to be the father of himself in Dr. No and looks more in his 50s than 40s. In a dressing gown barefoot in the Anderson Tapes, he had to have been around this, but I honestly can't see 189 or 190.

Yeah next to Atkinson he looked under 6'2. Atkinson at 5'11.5 is possible and Connery 6'1.5 -.75 is possible too.

Yes, Dave, I seem to recall reading that from the Bond tailors. Well, Connery was/is a pretty sturdy 6'1.5 guy. As an aside, and in my opinion, those Bond suits were best from the first 2 movies. All 70's suits should have been burned.

I read a thing from the Eon tailors--Eon was the company that produced the Bond films, and the tailors were in charge of making the various Bond's suits. They listed Dalton as the tallest 007 at an even 6'2". Connery and Lazenby were 6'1 and 1/2 inches, and Moore and Brosnan were 6'1" even. They didn't list Craig. SInce these dudes were measuring the actors for their various suits, I imagine this is pretty accurate. I believe Connery is 6'2" out of bed, and dips to 6'1 and 1/2 after a while. The 6'2" and 1/2 measurement from his bodybuilding days was probably in shoes.

...Granted, I see some sagging skin in Never Say Never Again (not abundantly so, just normal for a 53 year old guy), but to me, Connery looks quite lean. I know a line in the movie says he's 190, but whether or not it's accurate, I don't see him as heavier than any previous Bond outting. He certainly looks fit. As for my 201 figure, I'm just going by an actual qoute of his from the late 60's. Interestly, I just cught an old Battle of The Network Stars ('77) 2 nights ago, where Patrick Duffy was listed as 183. To my knowledge, Duffy was/is 6'2.5. But, "he" was lifting weights alot in '77. So, if Connery really was 201, the guy was maybe not buff in modern terms, but solid.

Connery was described as 190 pounds in Never Say Never when he looked way heavier than he did in the early 60s. I've read 176 or 8 pounds for him in early Bond which seems lower than you'd expect but he was pretty slim. Never Say Never Again though no way was he under 200 pounds!!

Maybe this has been covered, but I read an interview from way back where Connery, himself, described his weight for his latter 60's Bond movies as around 201 pounds. You can't be a 200 pounder, profess that swimming and occasional football and golfing is all you did for exercise, have no detectable bodyfat with your shirt off and not have some height to you. Granted, he had/has a sturdy frame. And though he may have weight trained years earlier, I've read no comments about doing that during his Bond years. Again, he had to have had some substatial height on him to carry 200 that well in, say, Thunderball. I used to think 6'1 plus. Now I'm wondering if 6'2 plus is more accurate.

188-189cm peak for Connery. Still looked a strong 6ft2 in The Hunt For Red October aged 60 opposite a young Alec Baldwin and he was still looking 186-187cm just a few years ago, so likely is 6ft1ish now.

Don't rule out 186cm either. Wasn't much shorter than Andy Murray in pics. A solid 1.5in lost at 83 is quite remarkable. Anywhere between 6ft2-6ft2.5 for a young Connery is debatable. Not buying the alleged 6ft1.5 tripe. That would put a young Michael Caine at 6ft1 flat and Nicolas Cage at 5ft11 max

I've been to that wax museum and got the impression they tried to approximate the celebrities' heights. For some reason the Wayne one has his legs spread and isn't standing tall. I seem to recall Mick Jagger's was in also in a height dropping position and had, for some reason, a blonde wig. Most of the wax figures looked pretty close to their celebheights listing, though.

The Madam Tussauds wax models are useless for guessing height. I'm just over 6ft3 and John Wayne was slightly shorter than me and it's common knowledge that The Duke was a solid 6ft4!

Looks about 6' to me,and I don't think that he has shrunk, but unless you see an actor BAREFEET, all those height discussions are a waste of time.

He appeared to be the same height as Kevin costner in the untouchables who's 6'1, or even .25 inches shorter at times maybe .25 inches taller at times too so 6'2 maybe in his peak but certainly not now. The mans 80 some odd years old I'd say he's still a very tall man.

He was never a legit 6'2.He has always been 6'1.5 barefoot as measured during his bond era and in those years he was a young man in his early 30s so he could'nt have lost height.Rob why is it that except for Timothy Dalton all the bonds have been listed half an inch more than their actual barefoot heights??

he always looked 6'2ish to me in his younger days. He was described as 6'2 a lot and he was claimed to be measured 6'1 1/2 without shoes. So I conclude that Connery was 6'2 give or take half an inch

6 ft 2 for him now anyway is literally impossible seeing him next to Andy Murray. But in all fairness Connery's height loss has been quite slow, as you say he was still looking a strong 6'1" by his last film. 1.5 inch height loss for an 82 year old man is under average I think based on the 1 inch per decade over 60 don't you think Rob?

Yeah I quite agree with you. I reckon Connery and Eastwood should have a face-off! I think they could both possibly be 185 at some point in the day if stood as straight as possible but I seriously doubt either of them are over 6'1" anymore. Eastwood can still look a full 6'1" on occasion though and then barely look 6' at other times.

Rob here he is with Andy Murray. He looks close in one photo and then easily 2-3 inches shorter in some of the others. If I had a guess I'd put Connery at '6-6'.5 today, but he's 82 and has likely lost an inch or or two. Last I saw of him he looked quite ill and wondered how long he'd last but he looks superb in these photos, fantastic for an 82 year old guy, looked tanned and healthy.

In Dr. No, Connery looked to be edging Anthony Dawson (who played Professor Dent) a little. I've seen 6'2" listings for Dawson, and I wouldn't really buy that he was shorter than a legit 6'1". So I would say that Connery gave the impression of pushing towards the 6'3" mark in that scene.

I just watched Diamonds Are Forever. I am willing to give Edgar and thebad7 right and admit myself to stand corrected when coming to the discussion we had a few months ago when arguing about Connery's leg length. In the scene where he is meeting Felix and his crew, Bond is seen without a jacket and his proportions are shown quite clearly. His legs came off as very long. I'd say that I had a solid 6'2" impression in that scene.

In Diamonds Forever yeah he did give off a 190cm impression at times. I'll admit he could often look very similar in height to Challenger #5 and Hugh's 189cm claim often didn't look too far off. I do think the 6'2.4" measurement might have been legitimate as a young man at some point in the day. To me he looked a full 6'2" in most of his films if I'm being perfectly honest. James look at his legs in the hallway of the Miami hotel in Goldfinger, difficult to see him under 6'2". Lets not forget though he was 2-2.5 inches shorter than legit 6'4" Rik van Nutter in Thunderball and that legit 6'4" ex Americn footballer in Never Say Never Again so that really but anything like 6'2.5" out.

Nope, he dwarfed Robert Shaw and he was considerable taller than Pedro Armendáriz who is also on the tall side.
Remember Shaw was wearing big lifts in his scenes with Connery as he was only 5'10" and they needed to make him look more imposing.

@James: With dress shoes, he always looks 6'3", especially in the Bond Films. Also, from the same period he did a great noir film from 1961 titled THE FRIGHTENED CITY and he worked with Alfred Hitchcock and Tippi Hedren in '64 for MARNIE. He looks 6'3" in dress shoes in those two as well, which corresponds to 6'2". That '50s bodybuilding measurement carries more weight for me than the Bond Tailors' shenanigans, coupled with the fact that he always looks noticeably taller than 6'0" and 6'1" actors, even well into his 60s.
6'2" I always bought for him, but after recently watching him in 1975's THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING, I starting seriously considering whether some change ought to be added to that 6'2" for him. He is at least a half inch taller than 6'2" Michael Caine, and what I really noticed was how long his legs are, especially in scenes towards the end of the film when Connery wears only an old-fashioned tunic.
Also, some posters mentioned Connery himself saying 6'1 1/2" on one of the late night comedy shows (I can't remember which one it was). He's always projected himself as a strong, confident guy offscreen, and I wouldn't be surprised if he made a joke of his height by saying that. Actors are very aware of the gravitas surrounding a man's height. I always liked Connery--he had a great screen presence. It's too
yeah i agree with you on that. connery always looked tall even in his later films.

Also, from the same period he did a great noir film from 1961 titled THE FRIGHTENED CITY and he worked with Alfred Hitchcock and Tippi Hedren in '64 for MARNIE. He looks 6'3" in dress shoes in those two as well, which corresponds to 6'2". That '50s bodybuilding measurement carries more weight for me than the Bond Tailors' shenanigans, coupled with the fact that he always looks noticeably taller than 6'0" and 6'1" actors, even well into his 60s.
6'2" I always bought for him, but after recently watching him in 1975's THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING, I starting seriously considering whether some change ought to be added to that 6'2" for him. He is at least a half inch taller than 6'2" Michael Caine, and what I really noticed was how long his legs are, especially in scenes towards the end of the film when Connery wears only an old-fashioned tunic.
Also, some posters mentioned Connery himself saying 6'1 1/2" on one of the late night comedy shows (I can't remember which one it was). He's always projected himself as a strong, confident guy offscreen, and I wouldn't be surprised if he made a joke of his height by saying that. Actors are very aware of the gravitas surrounding a man's height. I always liked Connery--he had a great screen presence. It's too
yeah i agree with you on that. connery always looked tall even in his later films.
LAN Jiao i think connery would have an edge on clint eastwood.

6'2.4 during age 20-late30 , 6'1.9 from age 40 to mid 50 , 6'1.5 from age of late 50 to mid 60 , mid 60 crisis make connery to drop 0.75 at late 60s of age 6'0.75 to currently. may dip under 185cm today. not under 184cm. maybe same height as clint now.

pat roch looks like a solid 6ft4., then again is a fight scene and is not a very good height reference, i think the best moment 2:12 when connery is just abau to punch him, also connery is in boxing position, no to mention roch is a good 30 pounds havier that connery wich makes him more imposing. Also, the scene and camera angles indicated that this in this scene was meant to look bigger than connery(the camera sometimes i deliverated by his side, or when facing connery he straight and connery not).

donal placeanse james was in fact much more slender but the movie called for a giant in all ways, so he enter in an intensive bodybuilding program of 3 months, and well the rest is history, also is kind of ironic, sean had to lose alot of weight when he first made dr no( you can that in his face, in some scenes he looks emaciated), also james, about the sutherland thing i have found a better shot of connery and sutherland:

also, in that movie donald was nearly pure flesh and bones, wich give him the advantage of longer body while sean was more build.
speaking of connery build, this is the skinniest build that i ever see in sean connery:

If you pause just as 0.08 approaches you'll get the best perspective as they are just about level. Connery actually comes up to the base of Ronald Rich's nose. I'm getting a 6'10" impression in that scene James, what do you think?

This clip is much better. I'd say Ronald Rich looks easily 6'8" here and at 0.03 actually looks 6'10" range due to him being closer to the camera. Pause at 0.08 as Connery passes. Connery is level with his nose, that's about 6 inches. He;s a massive guy does look legit 6'8-6'9".

Here's the scene James. Actually 6'8" looks about right, doesn't look 6'10" really, difficult to tell as if Connery is hunched he can look a foot shorter!!, looks like he'd have about 6 inches on Connery but dwarfs him in body size.

Yeah James Ronald Rich from You oNly Live Twice did look 14-15 inches taller than Donald Pleasance and easily 6 inches taller than Connery. I think he was listed at 6'8" although I as you say I believe he looked more 6'9", possibly 6'10. Perhaps he was 6'10" in shoes? Actually I recall that scene in You only live twice with that blond massive bloke was the first time I saw Connery on screen as a kid and I believed for years he was only like 5'9" or something because of that and for some reason believed he was average as he was absolutely dwarfed by him. I was actually shocked when I learned Connery was 6'2" for the first time at about age 15, I had thought for years he was 5'9", which lookiing back is ridiculous...

Connery was the classic mesomorph though wasn't he. He could look 220 pound range in recent decades although recently doesn't even look 200 as he's been ill I think) but if you watch Goldfinger for instance and him walking through the hotel corridor and in the hotel room in Dr. No when he's setting the traps. I would be surprised if he was just a 32 inch inseam. His legs looked long, 34 inseam surely.
shaun i am only 5'9 or 5'10 but when i worked out at the gym and bulked up 2 years i had a 36 inseam. If i was connery height off 6'2 my inseam would be like over 40 maybe? Although its not often that you get 6'2 people who are mesomorphs its more average height guys like 5'10 who have that body type. generally tall or very tall people have ectomorphic body types and are hardgainers when it comes too muscle like clint eastwood or hugh jackman... people were shocked when i told them i had a inseam off 36. now that i have stopped working out my inseam is only 30.
i am not sure if connery was a classic mesomorph since he could look kinda lanky and slim at times. But yeah his muscular build could make him look shorter like 6'1 in his bond films such as from Russia with Love and Thunderball also that 6'9 guy made connery in you only live twice owned sean connery.

By the way, 32" inseam isn't THAT short for 6'2". There are some 6'4" guys who have a 34" inseam and they are usually not considered short-legged, as far as I know. Phelps has a 32" at 6'4.
I wrote that it's MORE COMMON for men up to the 6'1" range to have a 32" inseam and meant that if Connery really had a 32", it would support those who argue that he is and was 6'1" and change barefoot.
I'm this height range and I wear 34 inseams, and I'm big torso build opposed to very long legs and short body. 32 leg at 6'4" is unusually short for that height but they say Phelps has the torso length of a 6'8" guy and the legs of a 5'10" guy.

Well, similar information seems to be found on other places, obviously not very scientific though:
"Sean Connery was 6'2.5" tall, and so probably would be a long length. I'd suspect his chest size is about a 44. It was popular in the 60s, as it is now, to cut the jacket on the shorter side. They were cut shorter to lengthen his legs because much of Connery's height is in his torso. That's one reason why his trousers had a very long rise. The key is to make the legs look the longest possible whilst still keeping everything proportionate. And I would believe that Connery has a 17" neck. Cary Grant had the same and he was skinnier than Connery."

@Henrik: Interesting where you found the 32" inseam. That guy is a dead ringer for Sir Sean!
He could be a 32" or a 34" inseam, but my best guess is the latter after seeing him in 1975's THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING. Towards the end of the film, Connery is dressed in a tunic, and there are several shots in which you see his bare legs; I knew he was tall, but I was shocked at how long his legs were after paying attention to it due to the activity at his page. As poster James said: he was, and still is "strong tall."

henrik, you realy trust in that site?, is from a sean connery look alike for god sake. also if he was measurament in that way, was from 60s stile of clothes that he wore in the bond films, where his pants were always at 2 inches above the heel of the shoe, where is not the real inseam.

Nic Cage has never seen 6-0 in his life. And there is no evidence of Ford being a solid 6-0 at peak.
Connery has never been 6-2, ever. Hes a 186cm guy.
sure there is, the mugshot from the fugitive.

By the way, 32" inseam isn't THAT short for 6'2". There are some 6'4" guys who have a 34" inseam and they are usually not considered short-legged, as far as I know. Phelps has a 32" at 6'4.
I wrote that it's MORE COMMON for men up to the 6'1" range to have a 32" inseam and meant that if Connery really had a 32", it would support those who argue that he is and was 6'1" and change barefoot.

No doubt he was a tall man in his prime..not super tall by any means but still i would label him as 'strong tall'.

@Edgar: Nice article on the in's & out's of tailoring. Very informative. I agree with you: Connery is a 34 inseam for sure. Some people refuse to accept the fact that Connery is 6'2"+ and the man always looks it--from 1961's THE FRIGHTENED CITY up through to FINDING FORRESTER (late '90s, I think). I just watched him last night in 1975's THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING. He's a fraction (about 1/2") taller than 6'2" Michael Caine. This film is a good template because you see Connery in flat sandals or barefoot; wearing only a robe, you can see how long his legs are. Even in flat sandals, he's still a shade taller than Michael Caine. After watching this, I'd go with 6'2 1/2" peak for Sir Sean--his look in KING corresponds to that early '50s bodybuilding measurement.

i dont know guys but this guy dont look a short legged guy, dont even a short guy, in fact looking the very short heel his shoes have(connery in fact after seeing alot of his photos is a fan of short heeled shoes), look to big to be just pierce brosnan size.
I also wear a 32 inseam, connery by no ways wears one.

henrik abaut connery proportions, there is a very good article abaut that:
Click Here
it says cleary, that pierce brosnan requiered to have an extra 7 cms in his pnats to look more proportional(he will suit your phelps description much more than connery), and his jacked to be 4 shorter, the actual tailor of other james bond said that the suit make magic because he looked taller and as good as connery, despite the fact that the tailor claims that pierce brosnan was in fact shorter, now lets get this straight, pierce brosnan has been described as an strong 6ft 1(never 6ft 2) and the tailor describes brosnan as shorter, so connery must cleary taller to the actual tailor Angelo Petruccini.
also, the fashion of the time marks that the pants must be around 2 inches above the shoe, look alot of movies of the 60s and you will se that most pants of the time were made abaut 2 inches over the shoe, it was to match the fashion impoused by england.
here is sean with that kind pant cut:

Click Here (made with a pair of jeans, i still dont know why make your legs apear short was in fashion in the 60s)
Click Here
also roger moore was regard as gaving very long legs, in fact this was the main reason why roger hate to run in bond movies, he know that his legs would instantaly show and he would look to goofy(he said that he looked like bambi)
Click Here
in this one they mention how bad the 70s fashion was for poor moore, bause the fashion stile of high waist pants make him look even more out of proportion
Click Here

Click Here
is posible to hide long legs with a long jacked or with a fake inseam(like clint eastwood did in a few of his dirty harry movies) like this one.
Click Here
showed by roger moore,
or this one showed bi clint eastwood(the clint eastwood one is less than subtle)
Click Here
in both cases the ilusion is broked as soon you bend, sit or run(moore tried to avoid this, clint wasnt that lucky and he dumped the idea by the end of the 70s)
as for connery he looked to me like he had an 34 inseam, but connery unlike roger moore, had muscular legs(he was bodybuilder) while moore had long skinny legs

It could be noted (but it might have been already, I know that tailors have been mentioned and discussed a lot) that Connery supposedly has a 32 pants inseam. This is quite short for a strong 6'2" and more proportionate for men up to the 6'1" range, I suppose. 6'2"-6'3" men usually have a 34 inseam, as far as I know. But I guess there are exceptions, and that Connery might be a Michael Phelps Sr?

harrison ford was a solid 6'0" man at his peak. connery also had 2 inches on 6'0" nic cage in the rock. connery under 6'2" just doesn't add up.

Im way more inclined to believe the Bond Tailors stuff because he flat out didnt look 6-2 plus. Its as simple as that.
miko says on 12/Oct/11
I can buy 6'2.4 out of bed, but as for his real height, he always looked nothing more than a solid 6'1. (Maybe around 6'1.5 daytime).
Looks more 6'0.5 today. Lost an inch or so.
No way was he ever 6-2 plus out of bed. Yes, I agree with 6-0.5 on his current height.

NO,NO, NO Viper. It's not as simple as that. You're blind and you have a problem with tall guys. Connery was never less than 6'2" as a young man. The Bond Tailors BS is exactly that--BS. They refuse to confirm whether or not he was measured at said height; why should anybody believe them if they're going to play that silly game. The man always looked 6'3" in dress shoes in all his films--from the '60s well into the '90s. Furthermore, he's always been noticeably taller than 6'0" and 6'1" men and he holds his own against very tall men (6'2" - 6'4" range). You might as well get over the fact that Sean Connery was--and still is--a tall guy. Deal with it.
@Ka: Agreed. He has about 2" on Harrison Ford in LAST CRUSADE--and he was 59 at the time! He had 1" to 1.5" on 6'1" Kevin Costner in THE UNTOUCHABLES from '87, and he had 6'0" Mark Harmon by 2" in 1988's THE PRESIDIO.
