Columbia’s Amy Pascal’s claim in Sharon Waxman’s N.Y. Times piece (10.15) that Daniel Craig, the new 007, “is the same size as Sean Connery” is hooey. I’m not calling Craig a shrimp, but he’s a good two inches shorter than me. I’m 6 foot 1/2 inch, and I’d say he’s about 5 foot ten and a half inches, give or take…maybe 5′ 11″. (I stood next to him after we did a Layer Cake interview in Park City last Janaury during the Sundance Film Festival.) And I’ve stood next to Connery, and he’s at least 6’1″ or 6’2″. The website www.celebheights.com says he’s 6 foot and 1 and 1/2 inches. The site has Craig at 5’11”.
