Arterton: Craig is short and wears shoe lifts!

[FormerBondFan]

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?

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.

Welcome Frank. A punishing 1st post!

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

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

That was my impression from watching the film. Plus I wanted to bump this thread up.

QUANTUM OF SHORT-ARSE ???????

[katied]

Arterton is no prize herself

[Milton Krest]

QUANTUM OF SHORT-ARSE ???????

he should try wearing stilts in the next one!

They should have reused the Octopussy theme for this All Time High!

[crusading_saint]

Craig not tall? Shocking!
Next you'll be telling me Sean Connery wore a wig...

I don't know, but the thing that strikes me physically about Craig isn't his height vis-a-vie the other bonds, but his body. Dude is in nasty freakin shape. To me, that signals alpha male more than "being tall".

Anyways, first of celebrities are a bit notorious about their heights. Don't think it's uncommon to lie a couple inches.

[oscartheman]

So you'd agree he's more suited to a henchman role.

Bond *is* a henchman. He's a government thug. For all the wankery spies and secret agents receive, the fact is, they are just tools of their government. That's what is cool about Quantum, they show the CIA/Mi6 as bad. Not because they've been infiltrated by some arbitrary evil group, but because they are laying in bed with bad people out of rational economic interest.

More to your point, do I think he'd be more suited to a henchman role as in, a villain of Bond's hired muscle? No, because Craig is bond to me now. He's my favorite Bond too, although it's like comparing Christian Bale to Adam West or whoever. I can't take the old Bond's as serious, even though I love them.

You can't love them when you hate everything about them.A thug is thug, so let stop calling him Bond becasue that was the one thing Bond never was and Fleming was adamant Bond was not.
