I agree Viper. Al the evidence points to 6'1.5".
1. He was measured by Bond tailors at 6'1.5"
2. Eon (Bond producers) verified this measurement.
3. He himself said he was 6'1.5"
I don't understand why there is this debate when there's this documented evidence.

He was measured at 6-1 1/2 by the Bond tailors. 6-1 1/2 barefoot and 6-2.4 in shoes makes the most sense.

I also think he easily was 6'2.4 without shoes in his prime. It's strange but Connery does not look really tall even though he is or was it. Roger Moore often looks really tall but he is definitely shorter than Connery.

Why would they measure him in sneakers? They only do that in basketball. Body builders were usually seen barefoot anyway. I highly doubt he was measured in shoes especially if the measurement was in centimeters.

RisingForce, the reason it says 6ft2.4 is because that's exactly 189 cm. They measure in cm for the body building contests. This was converted to 6ft2.4.
I still believe that was a height in sneakers. In the U.S. they seem to always measure height in shoes.

I've read 215 for connery, but that could have been younger when he was bodybuilding, and then later as he got older. In his Goldfinger days, I would guess him to have been around 190lbs

James, I'd say these days Clancy Brown and Connery would be pretty close in height. Brown had back surgery a while back taking away an inch or so.

He really did seem 6'2.4" when he was younger, besides that seems like an oddly precise figure to fabricate. If Rob thinks he looks 186 cm now then maybe Sean should be given a peak height? I mean he is 78 years old.

Just finding out that Connery has never been 6'3" I was wondering if anyone knows his weight. It's just that I've read he's 220 lbs but that doesn't seem right because Clint Eastwood is 205 lbs. Also if Clint was Sean's height his weight with that body type would be about 10 pounds less. I don't see connery being 25 lbs more muscular than Clint Eastwood.

Ford could've easily have been 6ft1 at that time seeming he was only in his 40's. Connery could still have been 188-189cm. Today Connery is still 6ft2 flat or 6ft1.5 at the lowest. Ford I'll agree has lost a considerable amount of height due to injuries over the years and his age, now standing a shade under 6ft.

I think in The Last Crusade. Connery was 6'1.25" (186 cm) and Ford was a weak 6' (182.5 cm). So I'd say Connery was down quarter inch from a strong 6'1.5" ( 187 cm) in his youth. He was 58 when Last Crusade was filmed.

James, then Ford couldn't have been a legit 6ft1 in Last Crusade, because that would have made Connery 6ft2.5-6ft3! The only possible scenario I can see is Connery was around 6ft1.5 in LC to Ford's 5ft11.5-6ft, or Connery was only 6ft1 and Ford was 5ft11-5ft11.5! It has to be one of the two!

6ft1.5 tops for Connery in his youth, and most likely 6ft0.5 maybe a bit shorter today! I'd have guessed Connery was around 6ft0.75-6ft1 in Last Crusade and that was back in 1989, since then he's just steadily lost more!

Well James if you're saying Clint is 6ft and Ron claims they were eye to eye then.....
I've seen the recent pics of Sean and Harrison. Some shots there seems to be an inch diff and some there seems to be about 2 ". Ford is about 5'11" and maybe under it now. So 6' - 6'1" for Sean is a good estimate. I think 6'3" is just stupid..no offense :-)
Also, Ron, I think you should get yourself measured. If Sean was 3 - 4 " taller than you in 1990 then I'm afraid you ain't 6' or close to it.

That seems a bit overrated:-).My godfather Ben saw it at 184cm max barefoot these days.So over 188cm is not realistic for peak height.

I took pictures with him and my wife at Pebble Beach in Monterey Calif 1990. His Golf partner was Clint Eastwood who is 6 ft 4inch. They looked at each other eye to eye. Both had normal golf shoes on. I'm 6ft and was taller than me by about 3 to 4 inches. My wife is 5 ft 9inches. He was much taller than her when they walked arm in arm for 2 golf holes while I took pictures.

C'mon Hugh...6'3". Don't be ridiculous. I don't where you are getting these estimates from. Compare him to Goldblum, Neeson and Selleck (who are all around the 6' 3.5" mark these days). Are you telling me he was marginally under their height ? He's about 6'1" these days..probably a bit under that. I'd say 6' 0.5" and I would put a lot of money on that.

6ft 2.4 looks absolutely bang on accurate for much of his life. Always looked a legit 6'2 as Bond and as the Bond producers noted had excellent posture and moved well. Seems to have lost an inch only these days.

Very good pic Gonzalo! How young Sean looks! He looked much older than he=is age when under 40 and now...Better this way than the contrary. Anyway, he apperas being in good shape and no shrunk at all! I bet 6'1.5 and probably one inch or so when young. He always looked taller than he was despite his permanent slouching.
In a way, slouching people look often very tall because we are telling ourselves: "this guy must be very tall to be compelled to bend so!".

Now I'm not rounding up here at all but there is a fair enough chance that Carrey is a full 6ft2 because did look very near in height to Jeff Daniels. Also Morgan Freeman.

Sorry, but Jim Carrey is a solid 6'1 guy, he looks a 6'1 and a half guy and that it what he is. He was taller than every guy that night except Connery and Warren Beatty. Beatty Looked the same and Connery looked taller.
I mean, if Connery is still taller than a 6'1 and a half guy like Carrey, and taller by a half an inch at least, and he is 6'2 now at his 78 years old , at peak he could be perfectly more than 6'2.
Carrey is a strong 6'1, only see his movies and premieres and see what he looks. He is a very tall guy, 6'1 and a half at least.

Connery being anything over 6-2 is pure fabrication. I can even buy a flat 6-2 peak, but Ill go with the 6-1 1/2 peak measurement the Bond Tailors measured him at and his own admission of "6-1 1/2".
Yeah Mr R like I said Connery is still 6-1 at least and looks it physically to me in photos. Hes really only lost like a half inch of height.
And Im surprised Jim Carey is not actually 6-1.

Okay, Hugh and Mister Lennon. I expected a few challenges. I have not seen the pic in question, but each one walked past me as i stood up straight and tall, as they were ushered into the VIP room where I assume the pic was taken. After the pics were taken, each star went to the theater where their movie was playing. Jim Carrey was definitely shorter, but not by a lot. He would be near 6-1, but not fully. Connery might be a little over 6-1, but not by much. The problem when people use pics as measurements is that you cannot see the shoes, angles, nor if the celebs are altering their posture. I do think that seeing the stars in the flesh provides a more accurate reading. HOWEVER, it is clear from this website that even eyewitness accounts can differ greatly too. I suppose height is in the eye of the beholder!

Connery doesnt look like hes lost any height to me. If he has its only a half inch.
6-1 1/2 peak now just 6-1 seems to make the most sense to me.
Hugh, why are you also ignoring the Bond tailors measurement of 6-1 1/2? I think more than likely that supposed 6-2.4 measurement was in shoes.

I was standing face to face with Connery. I shook the man's hand for crying out loud. As for Jackson and Costner they were standing a few feet away from me so that might have been an illusion. Aswell Connery WAS measured at 6ft2.5 when he was younger.

Adam,
1. I remember Gray about 0.5" taller than Connery in Diamonds are forever.
2. The guy who played Peter Franks in Diamonds said in an interview that he was 6'2" and he was also visibly taller than Connery.
3. Jimmy Dean (6'3") who played Willard Whyte was quite a bit taller than Sean in the same film...2 inches maybe.
4. Michael Caine (6'1") was 0.5" smaller than Sean in man who would be King.(Caine in my opinion was never 6'2").
Here's some info from The World is Never Enough website:
After literally years of exhaustive research on this, I have gotten the exact and correct heights of the six Bond actors.
This information comes from my having personally sought out and gathered the information from the James Bond 007 production company Eon (they measure each Bond), from the Wax Museum, and finally, in order to get the exact current heights, from the actors themselves in person, which also allowed a comparison to my own height (6'2" 1.88m barefoot), as well as to the other Bonds. Believe whatever you will, but these are the EXACT barefoot heights, both when they were first cast as Bond and the current heights.
Sean Connery was 6'1 1/2" (1.87m) in height barefoot when he played Bond. Today he is 6'1" (1.85m) in height barefoot. The original 6'1 1/2" (1.87m) barefoot height has been verified by Eon whom measured him, the Wax Museum whom measured him, and by Connery himself, when he was asked about the measurements. The 6'1" (1.85m) barefoot height today was the current barefoot height given by Connery himself and matches the height that he appeared to be in person.
Adam,
1. I remember Gray about 0.5" taller than Connery in Diamonds are forever.
2. The guy who played Peter Franks in Diamonds said in an interview that he was 6'2" and he was also visibly taller than Connery.
3. Jimmy Dean (6'3") who played Willard Whyte was quite a bit taller than Sean in the same film...2 inches maybe.
4. Michael Caine (6'1") was 0.5" smaller than Sean in man who would be King.(Caine in my opinion was never 6'2").
Here's some info from The World is Never Enough website:
After literally years of exhaustive research on this, I have gotten the exact and correct heights of the six Bond actors.

So saying hes 6-1 1/2 peak is downgrading him? LOL Thats what the Bond tailors supposedly measured him at. Connery has even admitted to being 6-1 1/2 as well. And also I dont think hes shorter than 6-1 even today, which many people think he is 6-0 these days which I dont buy.

At least 6-2. Could have been half an inch taller. Viper has a bad habit downgrading everyone. He obviously gets some kind of orgasmic feeling when doing that...
All in all Connery wasn`t just 6-1 peak, no way. Connery was taller than the 6`0"+ Harrison Ford when he was what, 60? Also Connery towered over Robert Shaw who was wearing lifts, was taller than the supposedly 6-2 Charles Gray, taller than 6-1 Gert Frobe and so on and so on....

Nah. 6'1 and a half perhaps at the most at his peak (measured to be this height by James Bond tailors, who measured each of the actors). Later in his career, about 6'1 or 6 feet even, which is probably what he is now. Never 6'2.

My mate met him in New York this year during the Calcutta Cup game (Scotland v England). He bumped into him in the gent's and he was surprised at how much he had shrank. My mate must have had the impression he was much taller than he had expected. I have a couple of pics of him that he took but he's sitting down unfortunately. He's a lot more lean than you'd think. I stood up with my mate and asked him was he as tall as me (6'1"). He said perhaps a little shorter.

Youve met Kevin Costner (6'2), Samuel l Jackson (6'3) and several others. No good keeping making up lies and no offence but Frank2's claim is a hell of a lot more accurate. Sean was never 6'3. He seemed roughly 6'2 and 6'1 1/2 is fine for him. He was well built which could make him seem about 6'2 but if he was a 6 footer in the late 90's then 6'1 could be his peak. End of story Hugh youve never met him.

Ray, That might be his height now. I'd like to know when Mr. Connery actually said that. If it's a recent quote, then it's because he's lost a bit of height. But I would say Connery would said 6ft2.5 maybe 40 years ago. He really did give the impression he was 6ft3.

How is it really silly James?? This is what this site is all about...some discussion on celebs height. Its just a bit of fun.
I've posted this before but I will do it again: Sean Connery says when asked about his height, that he is "6 feet 2 inches, well ok, actually about 6 feet 1 and a half inches really." (I think that proves he knows his height accurately)
Also on Jay Leno in the mid nineties, Sean was asked by Jay "How tall are you ?" Sean: "About 6'1.5", depending on the state of my shoe leather". He was quoting his height here in shoes. He was in his late '60s then so 6'1.5" - ~1 inch for shoes = ~6'0.5".

Sorry Hugh, no offense but there's no way he was 6'3" back in the day. Close to 6'2" on a good day I can buy for him in his prime but anything more than that is out of the question. Also when you are standing beside someone there's no way you can be sure of their height to within 0.5". 1998 I believe he was 6'0.5" barefoot. Just out of curiosity Hugh, have you been measured by stadiometer ? I used to think I was close to 6'2" around 187 cm (~6'1.75") but was measured by stadiometer at an osteopath at literally a hair under 6'1" (185.3 cm). Cheers

Connery was about half an inch shorter than me in 1998. He was without a doubt 6ft2.5 if not 6ft3 back in the day. I suprised by how tall he was.

Sure Harrison is under 6ft these days. I can admit that. But he was 6ft1 at his peak. As for Connery, I am beggining to come around to the idea of him being more 6ft1.5. But that really depends if Julian Glover is also under 6ft2.

I agree with Frank2. He's about 6' these days. That's pretty good going for his age. If I get to 80 and lose only 1.5" I would be happy with that. You lose a cm every decade from 50 onwards. So by my reckoning he should have lost close to 2". He's quite active and well built with good posture still so 1.5" drop is about right.

I very much doubt he's only lost half and inch considering he's just shy of 80 yrs old. I think some people don't realise that someone who is a legit 6' barefoot is actually quite tall. There's so many guys telling people they're 6' when in reality they're 5'10"-10.5" and this is distorting what 6' really is.

I'm 5'11" and he was only slightly taller. But after all, he is an old man so I suspect he lost height. I'd say peak was 6'1". But he could have been 6'2" when he was younger.

If he actually said he was 6-1 1/2 in his Bond days, then I certaintly buy it. Even the Bond tailors say they measured him at 6-1 1/2. That makes me believe that his measurement in his bodybuilding days was in his shoes.

I think he has still retained most of his height. He is also fairly muscular which makes him look larger.

What 6'2 today? He seems it at times. I could be wrong. He just seems to be a tall guy.

Okay in his body building days he got measured at 6'2.4. That might be a weak 6'2 1/2 flat. So his peak is 6'2.25. I rest my case.

Don't know why The tailors claimed 6'1.5 without shoes in his Bond days. More like 6'1.5 today and I'd say 6'2-6'3 range then. Glenn and Hugh, do you agree?

Ray - that's a great post! Interestingly, I have recently got Michael Caine's autobiography in which he is pictured with Connery. Connery is definitely taller in several pics, so maybe this sheds light on the Caine questionable claims of 6'2? There is also a very good one of Roger Moore and Connery, and Moore looks about two inches shorter. A further pic shows Caine and Connery with boxing legend Joe Louis, who was said to be 6'1 at one time. Connery looks a touch taller, Caine a little shorter.

I`m not sure about it. When Ben saw him it was only one meter from one to the other man. So Sean was near Ben and both men were saying a short hello and with good posture.

No disrespect Hugh, but I think that's nonsense. 6' 2.75" !!That would mean Michael Caine was 6'2.25".That's just plain rediculous. 187 cm (a little over 6' 1.5") was his peak height. He may have been close to 6'2.75" back in the day with generous heeled shoes on. Several sources give a peak height of 6'2" which I think is rounded up slightly. Rob is usually spot on and he says 6'2" peak height. The Bond tailors said 6'1.5". Sean said himself 6'2" then retracted it and said actually 6'1.5". How much more proof do you need ?

That still makes COnnery at least 6ft2. This is the thing with Connery. He's a very fit man especially for his age. And when your that fit your guranteed not to lose that much height. So 6ft2.75 in his youth and 6ft2 now is correct.

Joe Robinson who played Peter Franks in Diamonds are forever was interviewed and he described himself and Sean as 6'2" ,200 pounds. I seem to remember Robinson having a slight advantage on Sean...maybe 0.5". Sean was only 41 when this film was made so he would have had no height loss. There's is 0 chance of Sean being close to 6'3" at any stage of his life. Another example in the same film is when he meets Willard Whyte played by Jimmy Dean who is 6'3". Dean had Sean by AT LEAST an inch. I would love to hear of some examples where he was nearing 6'3".

I think that I remember Lee Marvin being a bit taller than Sean Connery. I remember that Lee wore a steel Rolex Datejust watch with a blue face. I think I saw him wearing it in "The Klansman" made four or five years before I met him. Lee was standing just outside the train carriage in the studio in Munich where I did my scene checking passports in "Avalanche Express" and Mark Robson the famous director screamed at me in front of Lee for not checking an actor's passport, even though the actor was to blame, I did the scene as we rehearsed it. Well, not many people can say that they were yelled at by Mark Robson in front of Lee Marvin! Roger Field.

They say Connery has lost hardly any height due to the fact that he's very fit (even today) and mantains good posture. So yeah maybe it was back in 1967 when they measured him. Since he's lost 'Hardly' any height that would still put him at 6ft2. Aswell I used to think he was no more than 6ft but that was because he was standing far away. But then I went up to meet him up close and I was suprised. You'd be too.

They measured him at 'a shade over 6'2"' in 2001 when he was 71 yrs old....I find that hard to believe. That would put him probably up at 6'3" or more barefoot in his youth. I presume he was measured at that height in 2001 in his shoes....I can accept that even though the man has said on countless occasions in the past he was 6' 1.5". I may not have seen him but I have heard him say in his own words ' 6'1.5" depending on the state of my shoe leather' back in the mid '90's. The vast majority of people on this page concur with that.

From left to right: Lee Marvin, Clint Eastwood, Rock Hudson, Fred McMurray, John Wayne, James Stewart, Ernst Borgnine, Michael Caine and Laurence Harvey.
Caine looks tall but, imagine how tall the others are, that he only looks taller than Borgnine. He looks 5 or 6 cms shorter than James Stewart who was measured 6`3 (1`91) by several sources

The supposed measurements dont hold any water either, because we supposedly have 2 of them. 6-2.4 for a bodybuilding competition and 6-1 1/2 from the Bond tailors.

I`m also a big fan of Sean.And it`s very difficult say the exactly height of peoples like Sean or Ben. They are both well built and stay this also when they are older.I asked all the peoples who know Ben or saw him. Everybody said min. 192cm and max 194cm.

Glenn,
If everyone minded their business then there would be no site. So what your saying is that anyone who hasn't met these celebs shouldn't be allowed to give their opinion ?I've seen all his films and have gauged his height against other actors. I'm a huge fan of Connery so I wouldn't be downgrading him for the sake of it. If you saw him at 6'3"... that's over 6'4" in shoes ! Sean claimed, in his own words, to be 6'1.5" (with shoes) on Leno about 10 yrs ago. He was 6'1.5 or I'll accept close to 6'2" in his youth. I think Nicole is spot on. She says her Godfather is a hair over 6'2" barefoot and Sean was 1.5" inches shorter. That confirms what Sean said himself. 6'1.5" - 1" (shoes) = 6'0.5". So I stand by my claim of 6'1.5" up to 6'2" in his youth.

Don't be bullied Nicole....stand by your claim ;-) Sean never looked 6'3". Put Sean (in his youth) in a line-up with 6'4" guys like Goldblum Fry and Neeson and he would be dwarfed by 2 - 3 ". Sean had the look of a a guy between 6'1 and 6'2". Rob says he was 6' 1.25" (186 cm) by his last film which I would agree was his height AT MOST. This claim of 6' 3" (190.5 cm) would mean he has lost ( 1.75 ") 5.5 cm since his youth. Sean is still a vibrant and well built man who I very much doubt has lost this much height.(6'1.5" = peak height).

I walked alongside Sean Connery after the film at the opening of "From Russia With Love" at the Odeon, Leicester Square in London in October 1963. While in the theater, I saw Ian Fleming wearing his trademark spotted bow tie coming down the left staircase to the foyer. Sean was suntanned and wore a dark blue suit. As he was walking away from the theater to the waiting black Rolls Royce, Sean suddenly turned and wagged his finger reprovingly at one of the girls following him from behind! The crowd pushed my upper body into the limo and the door could not be closed because my feet were still outside on the street! Sean and Diane Cilento, who was dressed in white, (already waiting in the limo), were sitting in the back of the car and they both just stared at me. I was almost on top of them. All I could say was "I'm sorry, I can't help it!" I was finally extracted from the car so that they could drive off. I'll never forget that! I am certain that Sean Connery was 6'2" right on.

Sorry Hugh but Sean was beaten by at least an inch, possibly 2 by Jimmy dean (6'3") who played Willard Whyte in Diamonds are forever. Sean said himself 6'1.5" with his shoes on Leno. Granted he was 70 yrs old but that would mean around 6'. Peak height = 6'1.5" - 1.75" (186.5 - 187). Many people have given this height for him. There's no way he was ever 6' 3" (190.5 cm).

William Goldman -- legendary screenwriter and height fanaticist -- said that the only two stars he met who were taller than himself (at 6'1") were Clint Eastwood and Sean Connery. 6'1.5"+ is just about right at his prime. Shorter than the 6'4" that sometimes gets quoted, but definitely a big man. He effortlessly beats 99% of fellow actors in his movies. A notable exception is the late, great Desmond Llewellyn ("Q" in the Bond movies) who looked very lanky indeed.

As he said on Leno when he asked him about his height about 10 yrs ago. " about 6' 1.5" depending on the state of my shoe leather". This would indicate that he was around 6' - 6'0.5" at 70 yrs old. I'd say in his prime 6'1.75" (187 cm) as his tailor said. In any case, I'd say Sean couldn't care less about what height he is/was.

i have never seen Connery in person but i've seen Michael Caine and he is 6'2" like he says he is.Caine has talked about his height,complaining that he sometimes wouldnt get a part as too tall by Hollywood standards.Connery has always looked about the same height with Caine ,maybe just 0.5" taller.
I believe 6'2.5" peak height,maybe he lost half to one inch later on but still looks tall even in old age.

6.2 now is about right and impressive for his age...he does have very long legs, broad shoulders but otherwise quite skinny. Officially 6.3 when younger. I first met him during the filming of the Russia House and he towered over everyone on set. Always seemed 3-4 inches up on my 5.11, athough we both weighed around 190lbs. He was the tallest Bond, funny how they have shrunk over time = 6.3, 6.2, 6.1, 6.2, 6.0, 5.9. Perhaps Tom Cruise will get the part in the end!

I always have the feeling during watching Indiana Jones, that they tried to make ford look taller than Connery in some scenes. Perhaps they though that it was wrong the father being taller than the hero.
Viper, everyone has is own opinion, but people tend to underestimate Connery’s posture, and there just isn’t a cm of difference between guy’s like Costner and Ford. In this case we are even talking about a 57-59 years old Connery.

And I can't find a good picture of him with Jack Lord (Feliz Leither in Dr. No), but he did have a considerable advantage on him.
6 ft 2.4 as we was measured at his 20s is right. He has to much advantage on 6 ft 1 guy's to be any less than that.

Yeah thats 186cm barfoot aswell. Becasue of Sean's slender build when he wears shoes with his dinner suit it makes him look so much taller which is why i can understand why people think he looks 6"3 ish. When You look at Roger Moore in the same light you can't make him to be anymore than 185cm. Does anyone know what Daniel Craig's height barefoot is? I belive he is 5"10 but ive seen him listed as 5"11 and even 6"0 before which i can't see.

According to a website called the world is not enough all actors who played James Bond are as followed in height without shoes, Sean Connery (186cm), Roger Moore (185cm), George Lazenby (188cm), Timothy Dalton (188cm), Pierce Brosnan (185cm) and Daniel Craig (180cm). I agree with most of these and i find it interesting that the taller of the bonds played the role the least number of times i.e Dalton and Lazenby at 6"2! Ian Flemmings apparent ideal height for JamesBond was apparently 6"0 but on his official site it is 6"1 for sumreason and the most sucessful Bond's where that tall almost exactly. Its starnge how the new Bond is under 6ft but in my opinion he did a great job like the others. I disagree with Rumours that Connery's peak was even close to 6"3! I watched his first bond film the other day and he was the trimmist of all his bond films and barefoot on that beach he looked no more than 6"2 if that, especially barefoot which we all go by in height now don't we. Connery was measured at about 6'1 1/2" (186cm) for the Dr No film and he would of already reached his peak by then.
According to a website called the world is not enough all actors who played James Bond are as followed in height without shoes, Sean Connery (186cm), Roger Moore (185cm), George Lazenby (188cm), Timothy Dalton (188cm), Pierce Brosnan (185cm) and Daniel Craig (180cm). I agree with most of these and i find it interesting that the taller of the bonds played the role the least number of times i.e Dalton and Lazenby at 6"2! Ian Flemmings apparent ideal height for JamesBond was apparently 6"0 but on his official site it is 6"1 for sumreason and the most sucessful Bond's where that tall almost exactly. Its starnge how the new Bond is under 6ft but in my opinion he did a great job like the others. I disagree with Rumours that Connery's peak was even close to 6"3!

6'3 should be his peak height. Today a solid 6'2 or a little over. Now into his 70s he still looks quite tall.
