Arterton: Craig is short and wears shoe lifts!

[Captain Nash]

Quick question.
Does it really matter?
Okay so he's 1 or 2 inches shorter than the other actors. Like Sweenster says, have your short lived fun.
Though at 5'10" Craig is average height for a British male.

I'd hardly call that short.

I found it pretty funny when I saw CommanderBond.net had stuffed this story away in a 'Tabloid Trash' thread. Quick! Back inside the Eon bubble everyone.

The consensus here seems to be that Craig is really 5'9.

And the consensus here is either 5,11 or 6ft. I've only found one that has him at 5'10.

And we know they are wrong because when standing next to 6ft tall person Craig if dwarfed. Standing next to 5ft 10in adn 5ft 7in women he wasn't tall enough. We are nto talking about Famke Janssen here.
beside we all know who made hight an issue, Barbara Broccoli.
Barbara Broccoli made it an issue when she said Ewan McGregor was 'too short' for Bond.
She also said Hugh Jackman was "too fey", Colin Farrell was "too sleazy", Eric Bana was written off as "not handsome enough". I think Craig has checked at all of those boxes at least once and some of them twice

Doesn't suprise me in the least. No way is this man 5'11. Craig's posture doesn't help either. He has an awful tendancy to slouch. His height, or lack of it, was always going to be a problem for some people because James Bond is supposed to be the archetypal Alpha Male. You can mask height onscreen to a certain degree but I can't be the only person tempted to go back to Casino Royale and look at his footwear more carefully. I think Eon will have to have a polite word with Miss Arterton to keep quiet from now on in.

I had the feeling that DC may be a little shorter than 5'10''.

He might be.
IMDB has him at 5ft 10in adn that probably standing strait. Posture has a lot to do with how tall somebody looks, they may actually be 6ft tall but hunches and looks shorter.

Its not just IMDB but another Bond sight that has that data supposedly right from studio (don't remember where now) and the bubbling Craig's spy girl. She is biased and had no reason to get Craig's hight wrong, I think it probably accurate.
One thing is for sure he'll never do the Conan O'brien Show

IMDB is the only site to have him down as 5'10 (trust you to pick that one). Every other site has him down as 5'11 or 6ft.

Sweeney, Sweeney, Sweeney. You make it really hard to try and like you let alone take you seriously.

Craig is not 6ft tall unless his in his special shoes.

Pictures of him with 6th tall Tom Hanks prove he is not 5ft 11in/6ft. hell he's not taller than kidman.

He is shorter than Sean Puffy Combs


The "bond" girl let the cat out of the bag, its over, the illusion's is gone. Why does this one bother you so?

If you get the link of the image, then cut and paste the link into the the address bar and open the image, when you go back to the forum the piccies should be there.

It seems like a obsession-because that is the only word for it-with the pro-Craigs here of making a big deal about the height thing

He DOES have bad posture.I've seen plenty of pictures of him where he looks almost simian.

Secondly, he IS short.He is NOT 5'11 and he sure isn't 6 feet tall.Not.Even.Close.

No, what I meant, if I may is that you're always asserting that he's tall, and not a midget
