Yes, you don't hear - 'gee, nice guy, good actor' - it's always, 'He's really short.' It used to be before TV, that when people saw movie stars they always thought they looked short - because they were used to seeing them 20 feet tall on the screen. I've met a number of TV actors and I always think to myself, 'gee, he seems taller than I thought,' maybe because opposite to the old days, now most of the time we see actors on the small screen.

As another user mentioned I think Cruise's height gets a little unfairly overdone in the media. Being in between 5'7-5'8 is not THAT short, yet it seems one of his defining "traits" and point of being made fun of. I mean yes he's below average but when you compare him to genuinely very short actors like Pesci or Mickey Rooney or Michael J Fox it's silly it gets so talked about all the time. I hardly even notice "Oh wow he's pretty short" when I see him on screen- granted he may wear tricky shoewear but still the point stands him being maybe 2 inches below the average male isn't really a huge deal.

Parker,
Yes you are absolutely right: Tom Cruise is taller than 5'7", because that was my height when I was 12 and my father is 5'5" and just got me by above my eye-level.

Hmm, I think he was already wearing lifts by Top Gun, since he looked more 5'8-5'8.5 range in that compared to Tolkan, yet in Risky Business he indeed seemed exactly three inches taller than 5'4 Curtis Armstrong. But he's never looked 5'10 on screen IMO. In Jerry Maguire for instance he looks 173/174 as well.

Tom cruise definitely a 5'7 or 5'7.5 guy. At least in his prime. I heard he wears size 12 shoes! Is there any truth to this?

what i wonder is at what film did Cruise start wearing lifts?
In Taps in 1981 and 1983's Risky Business he looked 5'7. And also in 1986's Top Gun. but by start of the 90s he was looking 5'10

Parker, good comment!
Cruise really looks taller than Baumgartner, that is true. But maybe Baumgartner is not 5'7, maybe 5'6. Izzard probably is 5'7, and he looks same height as Cruise. I have been watching pictures of Cruise for a years and It seems like Cruise is stretching himself out and he is wearing some kind of special shoes with or lifts or whatever,
To be more specific Cruise is somewhere between 5'6-5'8 (168-172 cm) but I suppose him to be 5'7 (170 cm).

His first girlfriend...what a piece of work. She wanted to see other people and he got jealous...you think? Then cheats on him but puts the fallout on him, good for Tom he dumped that trailer trash.
Not being tall for a woman means anything up to 178 cm - 5'10".

Tom for a sure as hell doubt is not 173 or 5'8. This listing is the absolute maximum I would go for him, he's probably more like 171 or 5'7.5 most of the time. He could probably wake up as a 5'8.25er guy at most but for the most part I think he would measure 5'7.5 at bedtime

Just look at this picture. He even looks to have his elevators on too. 5'7.75 is almost too generous, but I agree he can appear that height somtimes

You would not say so if he was 5'8 or close 5'9. That is how i see it, so he must be 5'7 max.

In that picture there is also 5'7 Eddie Izzard, and he also looks much taller than Tom Hollander. There is good pics of Cruise and Izzard and Felix Baumgartner who claims to be 5'7 also. Cruise does not look so much taller than Izzard or Baumgartner. I think he is 5'7 (170 cm).

Well Parker Tom is slightly south of 5ft5 and Cruise slightly north of 5ft7, so it is about (or almost) 2.5 inch difference.

Hey Rob, If you check out the movie 'The Outsiders' you will see that Cruise is at least 3.5 to 4 inches shorter than Rob Lowe, Matt Dillon, C. Thomas Howell and Patrick Swayze who are all 5'10". Also he only appears to be 2 inches taller than Emilio Estevez. This movie was made in 1983, before he fixed his teeth and started wearing lifts. So Cruise's height should be downgraded by around 1 inch.

How do you post pics, on this site? Because in a magazine here in the U.S there is a old id pic that has his weight & height listed when he was a young guy living in New Jersey at the time, he was 18, you don't grow a that much after 18, maybe some but not much.

He was obviously wearing lifts when he appeared on Top Gear with Cameron Diaz. A friend of mine was on set with him years ago (can't remember which film) and she couldn't believe how small he was, "he looks like a 12 year old." She was prone to hyperbole, but not to the point if he was average height would she have made those comments. In any case, I have to add that you never hear anything bad about Cruise (except the Scientology stuff) - he seems to be a real professional.

I think he was 5'7 in his prime, maybe slightly above it. But when he wears lifts or elevator shoes he's 5'9 or 5'10.

Tom Cruise should be downgraded by 3/4 inch, even when wearing boots he is barely taller than Jerry Bruckheimer (171cm). He also appears shorter than Lewis Hamilton (172cm) in many photographs, and was 4 inches shorter than Michael Ironside in Top Gun (Tom was bare foot and Michael was in boots at 180cm). I am guessing that Rob has a special affection for Cruise but seriously a downgrade needs to be considered.

Editor Rob the difference between afternoon/evening isn't really that much, in many cases being a couple of mm, although some people have greater amounts of shrinkage so may well lose 1/4, 1/3rd from 2pm till 8pm. If Cruise goes under 172 I don't think it really is much more than a few mm's.

Take a look again at that pic Parker posted on the 28th Feb. He is almost the same height as Cameron Diaz and everyone is shocked. He is in lifts ofc so the footwear is equal to her heels but Diaz at 5 foot 8 puts him slightly smaller.
I think 5'7.5" is the minimum for Cruise. 171-172cm would be his range.

Rob, do you think that Tom gives out a shorter appearance because of his large head and short limbs? (Relative to his long wide torso). In lifts he looks a lot more proportional because his legs look more like an average man.
I feel as though Tom has the skull, frame and torso size of a 5'9" guy, but his legs are quite short. Think the listing is spot on, probs maybe a bit lower since there's usually a notciable difference between him and true 5'8ers. Anywhere from 5'7.5-5'7.5 is what I'd wager he'd usually measure

Its funny re-reading Nicole's comment. She said that she was happy to wear heels again as she was a COUPLE of inches taller. She claims 5'11 herself so that puts Tom at 5'9.
So a very tall woman with heels makes him look short, media is crazy.
I have nicole more 5'10.5" but that would still put Tom at 5'8.5" using her estimate. I wonder what started the 5'6 comments ?

Yeah, Rob, you should probably do one of your videos for Tom! :)
I've read some italian forums where some people discussed his height and there are some people who truly believed he's barely 160!
I've also heard some jokes about his height in some italian movies/tv shows!
I personally haven't seen much stuff about Tom (maybe 1 or 2 movies), so I'm not sure what my guess is (I did see some photos some years ago and i thought around 171) but 5'5/5'6 are certainly too low! It's funny how so many people do think he's very short!
He certainly isn't tall, though! :)

Looking at him next to Dicaprio, these 5'5-5'6 claims seems absolutely absurd - even if he wears the biggest lift ever, there is no way he is below 5'7.

Met Tom Cruise years ago while working in lighting for the his first Mission Impossible film. He's just under 5'7". I laughed at Arch Stanton noting the article claiming Vin Diesel as being 6'4". He's about 5'11. The tallest "stars" I met in person were Clint Eastwood and Liam Neeson. I'm 6'3" and they were taller than me. Anyway, Cruise is a bit shorter than average. It hasn't hurt his career has it? lol

@Rob - I come across a lot of people who thinks he's 5'3. The media have done their job well.
I read recently in a Sunday supplement magazine he was 5'6 - and people of course believe that tosh.
As I've posted before, that same media can't believe there own eyes when they see him.

There was an article a few days back Click Here
I warned people many years ago that you would start to see Tom being described even shorter in a few years, and this is one more instance:
"Tom Cruise, his co-star in 2008 Second World War drama Valkyrie and last year’s Mission: Impossible instalment, who comes in under 5ft 6in"
So the journalist is implying he's a 5ft 5 range bloke...sad really, but the subject of the interview - Tom Hollander - made a good point:
"We’re standing next to each other and he’s a good two or three inches taller. With Valkyrie, I was excited at meeting this short superstar and was horribly disappointed to discover he was perfectly average"

So the journalist is implying he's a 5ft 5 range bloke...sad really, but the subject of the interview - Tom Hollander - made a good point:
"We’re standing next to each other and he’s a good two or three inches taller. With Valkyrie, I was excited at meeting this short superstar and was horribly disappointed to discover he was perfectly average"

Tom Cruise was listed at 5' 7, when he was 18 years old, most men reach their full height by the time they hit 18. He could of grown a bit more after that, but if he did it wasn't much.

It's hard to say bc his legs and arms are really short and he often looks disproportionate due to lifts. I'm 5'7.75'' in the morning and 5'7.25'' at my lowest in the evening. People usually guess my height at about 170cm which is true thus I am 171cm during most of the day. But my 6'1'' friend told me he has always thought I was 5'9'' till I told him my true height. It's a common fact that in real life taller people have a tendency to upgrade heights and shorter ones, especially women, downgrade heights all the time.
When I wear boots I feel lower average. But most of the time I do feel short. Thought I have never worn lifts or height insoles because I embrace my height and am confident in myself.
Going back to Tom he can be 5'7.75'' which is easy to believe looking at pics with Dicaprio. But his proportions are of someone who's like 5'6'' and that baffles us all the time. So telling his height for sure is just impossible heh.

Cruise looks easily as tall next to Dicaprio as the supposedly 5'9 Tom Hardy does. Either the latter deserves a downgrade or Cruise has gotten some nice lifts.

@Harpy - 'Special shoes' that don't look like Frankenstein's boots will give a max lift from barefoot of 2.5 inches. Even the one's RDJ is wearing here will give him only 3 inches from barefoot.

Cruise is standing at 5'10 next to Leo. There's been 1000's of guesses on Tom's height posted here ranging from 5'3 to 5'10. The pic with Leo IMO gives more evidence that Rob's listing is within 1cm of Tom's actual height. 171-173

The shoes that Cruise wears on this picture with DiCaprio are definately NOT bulkier or give more height than any shoe Pitt every wore on the red carpet. Comparing the heels, Pitt shoes give without a doubt 0,5 inch more.
While you are argueing that Pitt only wears normal shoes with higher heels, you put Cruise´s shoes without any minor doubt in the 2-2,25 inch area. Sorry, this is ridicilous and shows that you are really biased concerning Pitt.

I think cruise uses double lift , 1.5-2'' heal on the bottom of the shoes and 1.5-2'' lift inside the shoes. He is 5' 6.5'' max., whatever he gets after wearing his "special shoes" does not have much influence on his actual barefoot height which is 5' 6.5''.

@Harpy: What you say of said heights may be true "on paper", but a legit 5'9 guy walking around looks pretty standard "man" height. Also, I've never sensed much of a social difference between 5'5 and 5'6, except, again, "on paper". Pacino, Hoffman, and Woody Allen all look rather similar on screen, although Woody is a bit scrawny.

Even if he was wearing high heels, he'd still be 5'8.5" minimum
He's essentially the same size as Brazilian super star Neymar except that Tom is better built with a stronger frame and more explosive muscles. Neymar is not as explosive because he needs to have muscles that don't tire easily whereas Tom Cruise has the musculature of an athlete built for action sequences and extreme sports

I loved going out with taller women if they were drop dead gorgeous. And trust me every other guy in the room seeing me with a hot female did not feel like rubbing salt on a wound unless it was theirs !! I bet you are just jealous and likely wish you were dating a multimillionare actor. But I'm guessing Tom would look at you and turn his head the other way and start laughing. Tall or not I'm certain he can pick and choose which ever woman he wants. (Except maybe Deeley)"

I've been guessed anywhere from one inch shorter to two inches taller than I actually am, and ironically enough, I was guessed two inches above my true height by my uncle who's like 5 inches taller than me. And it's usually women, both taller and shorter, who underguess me.

Where's the solid proof he's sub-170 though, aside from his reputation for being "short"? Since he ostensibly wears lifts in public, there's no 'red carpet' proof out there of Tom being under 5'7.

The reason I have my doubts about Tom being 1m72 barefoot is because men in that height range can consistently get away looking 5'9 range on screen, whereas Cruise never does. In films like Eyes Wide Shut and Jerry Maguire he looks weak average at most, whereas 5'7 and changers like Mike Ruffalo often do manage to look average.

Cutie, Tom's not just an actor, he's a movie star, and he' not just a movie star, he's an action hero. As fans, we pay to see our stars and action heroes larger than life. We can forgive a character actor for being shorter than the norm. Our expectations are different with them. But we have a hard time not pointing out the discrepancy between a man who plays a giant and the same man who off-camera, is, in fact, short. What Tom Cruise goes through in terms of short jokes is no different than what Alan Ladd went through 70 years ago. The difference is the media, with the internet and so many television stations competing for attention, has grown. I'm not sure, however, that 'bad luck' and Tom Cruise belong in the same sentence, as in the final sentence you wrote. Tom seems to be doing just fine...

I think it is true that whenever media talks about the successful hollywood actors despite short height, they almost always give example of Tom Cruise and this has been happening sine last two decades now. This must have left a deep impression in the mind of most of the public that short height in hollywood equates "Tom Cruise" so no wonder average joe on the street often thinks that Tom cruise has to be 5' 2''-3'' eventhough he is comfortably 5' 7'' tall. Tom cruise just has a bad luck that he has become symbol of short height in the public media.

When Tom was a mere actor, meaning before he became a movie star, his height (or lack thereof) was not hidden. In other words, check out the movie Taps (in and of itself, worth watching). In all distance shots, where Tom is walking with other actors, he is glaring short. Five foot six and change range. Danimal is right.

I think this is pretty accurate. 171-172 is where you start to look short (not always, I know body proportions..) on Screen. Tom never looked tall or even average, at most he looked like a weak average on Screen and that's when he's above 5'9 (almost 5'10) in thick shoes.
Average guys around the strong 5'8 to weak 5'10 often looks pretty standard on screen. Tom happens to be right under that line.

Only reason why Kanye looks 5'8" is because he wears lifts inside his Yeezy sneakers. Without them though, he's 5'6.5 or 5'7 at best.
And how do you know this??? have you personally met the man? i would like to see facts on that.
he consistently looks 5'8. even 10 years ago next to cruise. looks it in every pic.

Not sure why everyone downgrades Tom Cruise. At Madame Tussauds London, I was wearing a 1.5 inch heel and I am definitely 169 cm. He seemed to have an inch heel and looked 3/4 of an inch taller than me. It is possible that the wax model could have lifts, but I really think it is safe to say that this guess of 5'7.75 for his height is very accurate.

In the USA here. Since Cruise and I are the same age (and stature), I've followed him his whole career. He is definitely taller than 172. I used to date a woman who was over 180 and there was no way I could approach her height @ 172 except if I was in boots and she was barefoot. It was esp painful with her family as one of her brothers was over 200. But since I grew up in a neighborhood that could field an NBA team, I persevered until she told me I was just too short for her to marry.
Anyway, that's neither here nor there now, but I have noticed people commenting on this site and experiencing it myself, working on a college campus, that people aren't as tall as they they use to be in the Eastern US. Growing up, the males on my street averaged around 190 and the girls around 170. Today, I see many small people on my campus that I feel normal. Outside of Scandinavia, is this happening in Europe too?

Compare the arm length of Cruise and Pike or Holmes in the pictures at the top of the page, that's the giveaway. 170-172cm is about right, and he's consistently 5'10 on the red carpet with his lifts.

He was towered by Kevin Bacon and barely edged out Emilio Estevez and was the EXACT SAME height as Glenn.
5'6 3/4" at his peak. He's probably closer to a flat 5'6" today.

The Glenn pics were curious. Cruise looked like he was slightly taller but that was mostly due to his ramrod posture. If Glenn is 5'6 5/8", you could make a case for Cruise being 5'6 3/4" to 5'7". But I think if you look at all of the evidence, 5'7 1/4" to 5'7 1/2" is a better guess (171 cm range).

Tom cruise seems like a 5'6-5'7 foot man to me his footwear is what makes us see him as taller then that but I can bet my money that he would be measured anywhere between 5'6-5'7. Think about it if he's 5'6 he can wear a 1 1/2 heel shoe plus a 1 inch lift which will boost him up to 5'8 1/2 and he has a good set of hair which will make him look 5'9 in footwear. It's all an illusion people.

Minimum 5'7" and max 5'8". I'd guess 5'7.5" is safest. Definitely wears lifts. A good example is with Depp and Bruckheimer. Tom's knees are higher than Depp's despite Depp wearing cowboy boots so a 2"+ boost is likely. His style of jeans sometimes make his Can easily look 5'8.5"-5'9" with lifts and good posture. Tropic Thunder premiere and some candid pics seem to be when he's gone without lifts.

I would say he is 169-170 cm without any shoes at all. He has been known to wear lifts in his shoes, especially in movies when he acts alongside actors who are taller than him. He has never looked taller than around 174 though. So he does wear lifts, but the lifts are not that big.

A while ago, I thought that a flat 5'8 was a good shout for Cruise but seeing that legit 5'8 guys like Joaquin Phoenix, Jeremy Renner or Sean Penn barely never look short, I'm starting to suspect he isn't the full mark. Anywhere between 5'7 and 5'8 is good for Cruise. A legit 5'8 with good posture and decent footwear will look average most of the time.

I barely comment on this page anymore , Cruise clears 5'7. All these 5'7 max or 5'7 or less comments for guys like him , walhberg , Sly are just insane.
Agreed. I also gave up, the guy is obviously closer to 5'8 but the media has done their job well.

For the record, I believe TC and Marky Mark are both 5'7 on the nose guys at night time, and that RDJ could perhaps be as low as 5'6.5, but not less than that. Cruise and Downey are lift wearers though. Pacino and Stiller generally are not.

Editor Rob it can be hard to tell with some actors.
With a guy like Downey, he is quite obvious, he isn't really trying to hide anything. He's wearing I believe 2.5 inchers a fair amount and enjoys the added height.
There are some models of skechers I've seen which are basically small elevator sneakers because the outside is designed to look like it gives a low height, while internally the insole is built to a higher height.
The half inch type lifts which can be put in most types of footwear are the ones hard to spot. I did a video of me in the smallest Dons available, which only give 1.5 inches (same as Cat Boots), beside beside Jenny in nearly 1 inch sneakers. They are also designed to help posture a little, which for a guy like Cruise/Downey I think aids their perceived height a little bit more at times.

The shredder: The problem is that anything less than a weak average listing would be too incompatible with the public image/persona of guys like Cruise, RDJ, Sly, Wahlberg, etc., so it won't happen even under the auspices of a bloodhound like Rob, who at the end of the day, still has boundaries he can't overstep. ;-) Those celebs aren't 'allowed' to be 5'6 the way a 'Sicilian from Brooklyn' like Pacino is. Cruise is type cast as an Anglo-Saxon man's man, so it's "impossible" that he could conceivably be sub-1,70.

Marco, Give us some evidence and we will believe that he's 5'5. Cruise is judging by every good photo not under 5'7. Too many people judge heights on proportions. Long legs doesn't equal being tall just as short arms or whatever doesn't equals short stature. You can be 6'1 and be quite stocky, just as you can be 5'6 and skinny. "He looks 5'5" isn't a valid argument. Many people look taller or shorter than they really are.
Tom Cruise can't hide his height with super lifts without looking absurd, he can however increase his height by two or close to 3 inches and look fairly decent(though still a bit noticeable.. but everyone knows that Tom uses lifts, it's not a big deal like it is with Brad Pitt for example). That's why he looks 5'9-5'10 in his height enhancing shoes.

But don't you think people have a tendency to presume 1,70-ish guys will seem more diminutive than they actually do. Most people's idea of what a 5'7 guy looks like corresponds more closely with the impression made by a 167/168 guy. My mother's best friend's husband is 169/170, and he doesn't really register in my 5'5 male consciousness as 'short', just 'modest'. My godmother's son is indeed somewhere between 166 and 168, a smidgen taller than I am barefoot, and I still see him as 'short'.

LOL at 5'5 for Cruise Marcos. Here's 5'5 Daniel Radcliffe with Katie Holmes

Here she is in similar heels with Cruise

I think the worst height estimate I've seen for Cruise is 5'3 on here, but 5'5 is a close second. Even the guys that think he's 5'6 range are at least within 1inch of the universal flat 5'7 given everywhere else on the internet, and can be considered a reasonable guess.
Everywhere but here that is.
He is 100% 5'6-5'9. Is he closer to 5'6 than 5'9? I personally don't think so, neither does the site editor, but that will be the never ending debate.

Anyhow, with camera tricks it's not that difficult to make a 5'5 guy look 169/170 on screen. It's been done loads of times with the likes of Gael Garcia Bernal and even Emilio Estevez. The issue is that filmmakers will often go out of their way to accentuate an actor's smallness, such as with Daniel Radcliffe in everything he's in that's not Harry Potter (e.g. What If?).

He seemed to be presented as a 5'8-ish guy in Jerry Maguire. He certainly didn't look 5'10 in that film. That's for sure. But as I said before, he had 3 inches on a 5'4 Curtis Armstrong in Risky Business.

Tom Cruise is exactly 5'8". He is still below average height. Though some jealous people see him as low as 5'5", which is totally ridiculous.

There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY tom cruise is under 5'7. He is solid 5'7 to weak 5'8 no more or no less than that. With his shoe lifts he can easily appear 5'9 range,

It's funny how if Tom were to meet Bieber he'd likely edge him out, yet Tom is still stuck with being listed at 5'7" by many sources yet Bieber has somehow convinced a lot of sources to list him at 5'9"? I guess Bieber's got the better PR people.

I would agree with Andre below. Tom and his then wife Nicole Kidman once hid behind me at a movie theater in Westwood. I felt like I towered over him at 6'1". I would guess, in bare feet, he is probably 5'6". It was VERY obvious that he was wearing engineer boots with an added sole and heel. He may also have been wearing lifts inside his shoe bringing him close to 5'8". He is a VERY tiny man. Nicole was wearing heels and with those, made it to 5'9" or so but she too over matched him in height and general size.

The thing is we don't expect 5'9 guys to seem short, but we expect them to be somewhat 'modest' looking, which well-proportioned legit 5'9-ers generally aren't.

There's usually a gap between what's an acceptable 'on paper' height and what's an acceptable real height waling around. 5'9 on paper seems rather modest, but walking around, a legit 5'9 male will seem solid average, so most people's notion of what a 5'9 guy should look like correspond more closely to what a 172/173 guy actually looks like. Likewise, 5'7 seems to be the *acceptable* on paper cutoff for a below average male height, but walking around it's really more like 5'5.5-5'6, which is why 5'6-ish guys are often much harder on themselves than they need to be.

Editor Rob unfortunately for a guy like Tom he's now got a perceived height drastically smaller than what he actually is.
And this is in general, most of the observation is from people who haven't met him. I asked people now and again and his name always comes up and is associated with short, I think a large percentage believe he is a 5ft 6 guy!

I'm 5'9.5 = 177. Exactly even 176.5. And I feel rather medium tall. Only when a person it's 181 or over I feel them taller than me. 5.9 if it is a real height measured at the doctor (people normally measure badly) is a decent height imo. Girls are not taller than me, even in heels, so one of them is taller is something different. Yes, some sportsman and tall guys are over me but most of them I feel them under me. Children and old men are also common

Big G had much looser posture than Tom did in both pics though. Tom was stretching himself to look as tall as he could and still didn't beat out 5'6 5/8" G by very much. If anything I thought those pics were some of the best evidence that Tom may be shorter than he's listed here.

At a guess I would say he was somewhere between 5'8" and 5'9".

Well Markus:
If you're like me where 40% of the female population in your average Western country is taller than I am barefoot and you factor in women's propensity to wear heels it'll invariably feel as if "everyone's taller". To use an analogy, when you go into a coffee shop or a library, one has the impression that "everyone has a Mac". "Macs are everywhere". Yes, they seem to be ubiquitous since so many people have them, yet the numbers dictate they haven't come close to eclipsing PC in market share.

If you're like me where 40% of the female population in your average Western country is taller than I am barefoot and you factor in women's propensity to wear heels it'll invariably feel as if "everyone's taller". To use an analogy, when you go into a coffee shop or a library, one has the impression that "everyone has a Mac". "Macs are everywhere". Yes, they seem to be ubiquitous since so many people have them, yet the numbers dictate they haven't come close to eclipsing PC in market share.

The average height is deffinitly getting shorter, at least on the east coast of the US. I see way too many short high schoolers and college students.

It just strikes me as odd that a guy over 5'7 would be that depressed and insecure about it. I'm 5'5, and it certainly bothers me, but you seem far more flustered than even I am, and you're a solid two inches taller than me. It's not that bad a height, and with the right build and proportions, you can easily blend in with 5'8-5'10 guys. Most 5'7/5'8 guys I encounter don't seem that bothered, and I even know 5'6 guys who are less bothered than you are.

Markus from Italy:
Most girls, even among the younger generation, are not above 5'7. That's just your perception, and I'm sure it's clouded by the fact they tend to wear heels, as well. In any case, here in Paris, from my vantage point, 5'4/5'5 for females and 5'9/5'10 for males seem like accurate shouts for the average if I factor the many of the women edging me out on the street have heels on. And this is among Caucasians. One just needs to look at things objectively and not get flustered every time you walk past a female who happens to be taller than you, leading you to presume most females are taller than you when they're clearly not. You're 'evidence' is only anecdotal, nothing more.

Anything under 5'7 is laughable in my opinion. I've been depressed for years about my lack in stature (171 cm is pretty small also here in Italy since most of the guys and girls of current generation are above 5'7 many even touching almost 6', talking of guys) and now you know what I say? It's ridiculous when it comes to height, i mean each one would easily add 1 to 2 inches to their height and that is because society sucks and everyone is attracted by height... for a 5'7 guy is more difficult to find a girlfriend than a 5'8-5'9-'6 guy is; that's a fact. Depression also leads to overweight at times (like in my case) so that you easily look shorter than you are... but I'm working on it and you should work on your weight if you're not so tall i think, coz in that way you look thinner and easily give the impression to be taller.
However Cruise might be 5'7, 5'6, 5'5'... even 5'0, but he still is and would be a great actor like any other "giant movie monsters" who are in reality pretty small.

Editor Rob somewhere in that range is believable as he had a fair bit of muscle for that role.

[Editor Rob: I don't hear much bad from fans who meet Cruise or actors who have worked with him!]
I think Billy Connolly's perception of Cruise says it all. Now Connolly may have been fooled by Tom's lifts into thinking he was around 5 ft 10 but I think he's the sort of guy who would sniff out an insufferable t**t and be more than happy to say what he really thought of him. That somebody like him who was around him every day on day could say he was a "smashing guy" I think is proof enough. And yes, actresses also rave about working with him, I've heard some gushing remarks from people like Emily Blunt, Cameron Diaz and Rosalind Pike who loved every minute of it.

mande2013:
Tom is getting all the negative **** from people who think he's choice of "religion" is weird. I mean, who the hell cares? Let him believe in his stuff.
And from all the interviews I've seen with Tom (I've seen quite a lot) he seems to be a pretty intelligent, caring and humble individual who wants to help people.
People who hate him are just hating because they can, because it's acceptable, just like it's acceptable hating on Justin Bieber.

Editor Rob when it comes to height, we should all try as best we can to be impartial and not be influenced by our feelings towards actors or famous people.

Really?? His scientology rants aside I think he generally comes across as a good natured guy in interviews and I don't get that vibe from him at all, I'm sure he's acutely aware of how lucky he is. Christian Bale and Nicholas Cage you'd have a point saying they seem spoiled.

Rob, I think it's a well-known fact that Cruise isn't a guy who sleeps a lot. Do you think he'd look a full 5'8 if he was sleeping let's say 8-9 hours a night?

Editor Rob I think you are talking only a few mm's difference between 6 and 8 hours sleep, I doubt it will change his appearance much. He keeps himself physically in good shape and seems to still have good posture.

Thanks for confirming what i thought. I always guessed he would hit 5'10 in his footwear. He always gives the impression of a 5'9 guy ( like he claims) which is easy for him to pull with lifts. A 5'7 flat guy would never manage that without very suspicous footwear.

That's not true TalkingHeads, the new generation is taller due to all the hormones in meat, dairy, etc... Traces of anabolic growth hormones have even been found in poultry and tap water. Agree with you, long term, this can't be good but one ailment they won't have is being short.

The average is lower now seeing how many short guys are in college. And especially with americans awful diets. I can buy 5'8,5 for the average, down from 5'9.

Ok now I'm seriously confused. If you pause at 00:01:35 at the beginning of Collateral, the scene when he and Statham bump and exchange suitcases, there's a clear close-up on their shoes. What's super weird is that Statham's shoes have heels that are twice the heights of Tom's.
Yet they both appear the same height. Can't wrap my brain around this one. Statham is listed as 5'9" so why would he wear elevators in a scene with Cruise? Either Jason is super short (Jet Li territory) or Cruise needs to be upgraded to 5'10". Unless the director (upon Cruise's request) shot the shoe scene (which lasts no more than a fraction of a second) specially to confuse the height watch brigade... and have them change shoes for the headshot?
Gotta say, that would be weird though.
So which is it, upgrade for Cruise or Downgrade for Statham???
