I've seen girl magazines (not mine I swear) refer to Urban as 5ft 7!! One article said Nicole Kidman married a cabbage patch kid.

Slightly OT, but here's another Ed Zwick photo for reference. If Ed is really only 5ft 7, he never looks small(even though 5ft 7 isn't small) next to 5ft 11 people, and 5ft 7 women in heels. Click Here

I'm 1.71m in the morning. 1.70m - afternoon. 1.69.4m - evening.
I would say that Cruise is around these heights.
What shoe size is Cruise?
I've read that he is US size 8.

Its always going to be the case Shawn with people close in height. As I said to Tellem, the pics he posted with Foxx make Tom look closer to 5'7, but here's 2 where Tom looks taller

Here's another where he looks shorter, but close to 5'8.
Click Here
As I've said before, when I started posting on this site several years ago I was convinced Tom was a max 5'7 (as protrayed in the media, and listed at on most sites). I've seen enough pics now of him lifted and lifless with various celebrities to convince me Rob's listing is bang on. Yes, hes definately shorter than 5'9 listed guys such as Dural,Harris and Foxx. He's definately at least 1/1.5 inches taller than 5'6.5 listed Stiller and 5'7 listed Penna. He looks 4-5 inches taller than Michael J Fox, and 2.5/3 inches taller than Hoffman.
He looks very similar in height to Spielberg.
In summary,He's close to 5'8, and I believe would hit it straight out of bed.

Hey guys I want to ask u does anyone know whether the statues at madame Tussauds in London are Accurate inb terms of heights. Because I went there and took a lot of pictures. I just wanna Know and compare. And yes I wil take into account the shoes and also the slight elevation tat some statues were placed at.

What I'm seeing from these pics:
Tom Cruise: 5ft7.5 to 5ft 7.75
Jaime Foxx: 5ft 9
Katie Holmes: 5ft 9
Edward Zwick: 5ft 7.5 (he's probably rounding down his height)
Jack Black: weak 5ft 6
Rober Duvall: 5ft 9.25
Ben Stiller: 5ft 6.5
Matt McConaughey: 5ft 10.5
Robert Downey Jr: Lifts
Michael Mann: weak 5ft 8 (if he stood up straight)
Ludacris: weak 5ft 8

I've seen Kidman up close. She was wearing beach shoes (the ones that look like converse but aren't). She was around 5ft 9.
I respect your judgment but I don't see how it could be right. I don't think I've ever heard anyone estimate her under 5'10. Check out this barefoot picture of her with Keith Urban who is listed here at 5'8.5 (who claims 5'9). He is wearing shoes so he must be close to 5'9.5 and Kidman looks a solid 2 inches taller than him barefoot.

Michael is listed as taller - big mistake. Mann is 5'7'' tops, there were countless shots from the "Collateral" premiere in which he was shorter than Tom.
But are there really some people out there who still believe the 5'9''?

Agreed Tellem - def looks shorter than Foxx in those pics. Michael Mann is listed taller than Cruise on this site, but doesn't look it in the pics. If Foxx is 5'9, and there are no lifts involved, the pics would suggest Tom is closer to 5'7...but I've seen a multitude more than put him nearer 5'8. I personally think Cruise is somwhere between Glenn and Rob's height. I think Rob's listing is correct.

I think there simply is no way Tom can be more than 5'7.5'' at the very max. after the Duvall photos and the Foxx photos.

Editor Rob more like 0.6 inch. Those are the converse style sneakers. Cruise likes all white sneakers, he has this pair and also a pair of totally white nike Air Force one...which give near 1.2 inch.

considering he's a smidge taller than 5'7 glenn, i would say 5'7.5 is about right. 5'8, however is probably pushing it. most definitely not 5'9 although he can look it with heels on.

@James. Kidman has never been 5ft 10 or 5ft 11 so Cruise never did pull off looking 5ft 10 next to her. We give female celebs more benefit of the doubt than they deserve and forget that all official heights for male and female celebs are decided by faceless agents. Kidman has always been 5ft 8.5 to 5ft 9. Paltrow 5ft 8. Winslet 5ft 5. Jolie 5ft 5.5. Etc
Ummm Kidman is 5'10.5 minimum, LOL.

If they're around 5-foot-2, dating a 5-foot-9 guy, they'll just assume he's 6 foot.

to parker's comment, you are absurd, i have spent many years in photography and all these comments of 5'8 are wild, that picture firstly is taken at an angle tilted slightly right, so whoever is on the left looks taller . judging from this pic tom's body looks no more than 5'7.5 and no less than 5'6.75. he wears lifts even in sneakers! Trust me all when I say this but when you know your height you can figure out how tall somebody is when they are close to your height. TOM is no 5'8 , and no 5'6 , but 5'7.25-50

If Tom Cruise was a hair taller than Glenn and now we know that Glenn is 5'6.75", shouldn't you downgrade Cruise to 5'7" on the dot? And do the same for a lot of celebrities whose height was determined against Glenn's?

In all fairness Tom can appear 5'9" in what can look like normal shoes. Click Here Of course they aren't normal shoes because we all know that Tom is not 5'9". His listing here is accurate but with his well hidden lifts and excellent posture he can pull off looking a legit 5'9" without lifts being obvious. So I can see where some would be fooled, but Tom's height is obvious. He's anywhere from 5'7.5" to 5'8". Not as short as the media make him out to be, but not as tall as he claims either.

Parker - In my opinion, he looks 2" shorter than his wife, in the barefoot pic. Also, how is it that you know his wife is really 5-9. Maybe she is 5-8 or 5-10. In order for Tom to be considered 5-8, she would have to be 5-10. If she is 5-9, then he is 5-7.

I'm 1.71m in the morning. Afternoon: 1.70m. Evening: 1.69.4m.
I would say Cruise is around these measurements.
He is below average but he doesn't look that short especially the way the media term him to be.
The average American man is 1.75m, so 1.71-70m is not that short.
Does anyone know his shoe size?
I'm a US Size 8.
I've read he is about this size as well.

He might be 5'8" out of bed. How do we know Katie is a legit 5'9", she could also be 5'8". Her reply "I'm... I'm... I'm like 5'9"" to the question how tall she is and her 5'8" claim in an online chat tells me, either she's downgrading her height, or she isn't quite 5'9".

Parker, the site you refer to is just a list of opinions, like this site is. But Tom did look very short in more than just a few pictures. Standing in front of 6'4'' (my height) actor Max von Sydow in "Minority Report" also made him look 5'7''. He might be 171 cm. But not more, I'm sure by now.

I read an article in a newspaper one time that said cruise wore 3 inch lifts to bring him up to 5'11" in interview with the vampire because they said brad pitt was 5'11" and the director didn't wont brad pitt towering over cruise in the movie . So if tom cruise had to wear 3 inch lifts to bring him up to 5'11" than he'd be in fact 5'8" not the 5'9 that he claims .

Cruise is an expert at concealing his short stature. It's difficult to make an accurate guess as to what his height may be.
Its not difficult at all Ryan. Here he is barefoot with his 5'9 wife with a small heel.Use the big Guys face at the back as a human tape measure. Cruise is approx an inch shorter. Not difficult to take an inch away from 5'9.

RisingForce, what is it with you? In the space of 24 hours you make Stallone, Craig and now Kidman so much taller than they are. You even got people thinking you are Stallone :D

I think 5'7'', too, Rising. Very likely after the Duvall photo and also the pictures with Katie Holmes. Was described by a german magazine which covered the "Last samurai" premiere 5 years ago as "barely 5'7''".
He is not 5'8'', but shorter.

I think Rob's listing is as accurate as you can get. The few times that he wore what could have been 3 inch elevators he was virtually the same height as Nicole Kidman who was in flats. By the way, I think Kidman is 5'11".

I think I had the Tom Cruise disease when I was in high school because I used to be 5'3-5'4 when I was 14-15,5'7-5'8 at 16-17 then I grew some and finally hit 5'9 at 17 and I used to tell people "I grew to 5'9 or I'm 5'9" and people always doubted me by saying "you're not 5'9, you're 5'7" but I wasn't that short. Why is it that when a guy says he a legit 5'9 people always label them as 5'7 ??? Is 5'7 a magical height for short guys ??? BTW I'm 19 and 5'10 and weigh 150.

Excellent comment Roger. Unfortunately it will never happen though because Tom would do his best to ruin the career of any journo brave enough to ask such a question and cause him embarassment. He is, and always will be, sensitive about his height as the world's movie going public hold it in their minds that an action star needs to be tall when he simply isn't. He isn't tiny mind you but certainly NOT 5'9" as he claims.

Really good pic with Duvall Tellem. In the more recent pic he looks 1 inch shorter,and the older ones about 1.5 inches shorter. One thing they do do is put to bed these ridiculous 5'6 theories flying around. The eye level of a 5'6 man would line up against Duvall's mouth.

Gosh, I think lifts look obvious in your photo, RF. Those shoes look pretty big and look at the length of his legs. They look abnormally long. His ankles look to be wear his jeans narrow above his shoe. Look at his left, lower leg. His ankles should be lower and his leg at that narrow spot should be thicker. Tom has bulkier legs than most, even though his upper body is slim. To me it looks like Tom has at least 1" lifts in there.

@Parker
Zwick and Cruise come up to Watanabe's eye level which is usually 4-5 inches from the top of the head.
I think Cruise and Zwick are almost equal in height in most photos but if you think Cruise is an inch taller at 5ft 8 than you can't think Daniel Craig is 5ft 9.5 or over because Craig is barely taller than Zwick. I also believed Craig was at least 5ft 9.5 until I saw those photos. Now I think Craig is 5ft 9 in the morning and shrinks down to about 5ft 8 1/4 by night. Cruise wakes at about 5ft 7 3/4 and is about 5ft 7 by night.

Tellem's photo shows about a 2" advantage for Duvall. Although that picture is not recent, I think it still shows Duvall a little past his peak. If DuVall is 5-9 there, then Tommy is near 5-7.

gillipolas - read my first post on 13th May. Tom stood next to Katie in barefoot. There's no way Tom is 5'6 if Katie is 5'9.
Also, I quite agree you could get 3 inches out of BOOTS - I was talking about shoes. Please read Rob's article.

Jay - Firstly I agree with you Tom is close to 5'8. When estimating height I tend to go off eye level rather than top of head because hair can throw you off in my opinion. Don't know if that's the correct way to estimate - What I do know is that when Rob asked for estimate's on a guy's height stood next to him, I was the only poster that got it spot on. Also, in the pics with Glenn and Jenny I estimated 2 ins, wheras a lot of posters were saying 3. Again, using eye level gave closer to the correct answer.
Click Here
In the pic above,using eye level Tom looks an inch taller than Edward Zwick.
In the pic you posted below with Ken Watanabe, I would put Cruise closer to 3 inches shorter, not 5 inches. At 5 inches Tom's eye level would fall below Ken's chin. Its only my opinion of course. Now I don't think for 1 minute Cruise is 5'9 - but he could be wearing lifts, or Watanabe is 6'1.
Either way, I think Rob's listing is spot on, but I think Cruise could hit 5'8 'out of bed' - We'll never know, but its fun guessing.
PS I do disagree with you on Daniel Craig - I don't think he ever falls below 5'9.5.

Great finds, the photos with Duvall. I cannot see a possible 5'8'' for Tom after those photos. 5'7.5'' at the very max, and even that sounds like a stretch.

Add 3/4 of an inch for their morning height. That means Rob Paul's listing of Tom Cruise at 5ft 7.75 is pretty close to Tom Cruise's morning height. Average daytime height would then be 5ft 7.5 - an inch taller than Thomas reckoned yesterday

1st of all we dont know if shes 5-11 or 5-10 as nicole kidman. Second, Im 183 (6') and i put some lifts inside yamamoto boots and i reach 6-2 and 3 quarters. very close to 6-3. Third, Tom with lifts was shorter than 5-10 brad pitt. Same as he was shorter that kidman. him wearing monsters and her wearing flats. if u see someone 5-10 close to a 5-11 one theres not much difference unless both are standing STRAIGHT and at the same distance from the camera.

if tom was close to 5-8 hed be 5-11 on his special shoes and he clearly isnt.
5-6 for tom. hes 5-9 with shoes on. shoes with 2 inch soles plus lifts inside, obviously.
If you read Rob's article on elevator shoes you will see how difficult it is to get 3 inches out of shoes - noticeable elevators (with a munster sole) tend to give 2.5 inches max. Anymore elevator inside the shoe will have your heel slipping out of the back. I think Tom's getting about 2.5 inches in these.

If anyone thinks a 5'6 man could look like Tom does against a 5'11 woman, you will never be convinced of anything. Is he 5'7 or 5'8 is the debate. Everyone is entitled to their opinion - there was a poster using the name 'Sticks' a couple of years back who insisted that Tom was 5'3, and nothing could disuade him from it. In my opinion 5'3 is nonsense, as is 5'6.

I agree though he has improved dramatically by letting Katie wear big heels etc. and to tower him sometimes publicaly. His footwear he has been wearing lately is a lot less dodgey than Sly-Dog's munsters etc.

Bud Earl, the door to bar is to your left, don't forget to tip O'Brian the bartender if you can get off the stool which looks unlikely bud. Klem, the weather is cloudy and his height is 5' 8". Say hello to Bud weather or knot you want two.

I belive now that Tom was measured at 5-6.75 or just under 170cm like it was written somewhere in the 80s or 90s. Now I don't know weather it was morning or eveninigg but I believe he is within 1/4 inch of that.

I wouldn't argue he could be below 5'7.5, but if he is then the following need to come down a half inch - Ben Stiller,Katie Holmes,Dustin Hoffman,Michael J Fox,Michael Penna.....surely Rob can't be wrong on all of them?

That's true Vibram, he had cowboy boots almost in every scene with Newman and didn't even manage to come close to Paul. Newman had to drop his posture so the difference wouldn't be so noticable. So if Tom is 5'8 then he would have been close to 5'10 in those boots, which he was obviously not.

I'd go with just 171 for Cruise, as opposed to 172. Didn't seem much taller than Glenn in those pics, even though he stood straight as a pole. 5'7.25" - 5'7.5" fits him about right I'd reckon.

Leonari - I think you are accurate there. I read Tom Cruise's biography and it doesn't mention his height once in it, however, it does mention that his father was over 6 foot. I believe his height is about 172cm and he has to wear lifts because the women in his life happen to be taller, which is understandable. Also the majority of leading actors nowadays are 6 foot plus. For some reason the media seem to make an issue of his height whereas there are others like, Tobey Maguire, Billy Warlock and Ryan Seacrest whom they choose to ignore. It is obviouly because of Cruise's high profile that they decide to harass him. Incidentally Leonari, I am glad you have decided to stay on here despite Glenn's departure, your posts are valuable.

Also notice Toms shoes in The Color of Money. There is a scene where he's working in the Toy Shop Megastore and you can clearly see he's in near-cowboy style, pointed toes, big-heeled black demi-boot things. Made him look 5ft10 with them on.

I agree with Gago. Tom has been in lifts since the eighties and probably sleeps with the bloody things on as he is SUPER-CONSCIOUS of his height. I've said it before here that both my parents met him in london with Nicole and both my parents said he was close to 5'7" and had on dogey looking footwear and that Nicole looked evry bit of 5'10" as she claims. Nicole owned Tom in height.

Hey Dylan: I firmly believe Tom Cruise is a tad under 5'8". I think thats one of THE most accurate heights on celebheights.com. I think he is my height or a cm taller. But I believe he wears slight lifts bringing him very near to 5'9" on a daily basis.

I just don't get how he can be close to 5'8, when in The Color of Money with Paul Newman, he was about 2 inches shorter, with having shoe, hair,age and posture advantage over 60 year old Newman. I strongly believe he's 5'7.

To me Cruise has never looked less than 5'7" bar one movie and that's Taps. He looks 5'6 1/2ish" throughout. The thing with Tap's is that Cruise would have been late 17/ early 18 throughout filming so it's not beyond the realms of possiblity that he may have grown ever so slightly since that film. Aside from that he's just never looked below 5'7 1/2" in my eyes. I mean in every promo shot he did with Jamie Foxx for Collateral and even throughout the films itself - there never seemed to be much difference between them. Also Cruise can appear to sometimes be reasonable taller than people e.g. Michael Mann, Ben Stiller etc. People in the 5'6" range just never look as tall over people as Cruise can occasionally or otherwise fit in as fairly average (the group shots at the premiere of Tropic Thunder for instance)

This picture of Cruise and Beckham is the shortest I've ever seen Tom look
Click Here
There is pretty conclusive evidence that Beckham is close to 6'
Click Here
Yet in the pic above with Katie and Tom,if he were to straighten up I reckon he would have 5 inches on Katie. David was wearing this footwear
Click Here
Tom looks more in the 5'7 range in this pic, and even though Katie was wearing flats she doesn't look 5'9....but of course pictures can deceive.

When I came to this site several years ago I truly believed Tom Cruise to be 5'6-5'7 because of the 'media' - I even read an article saying he was 5'5 at a medical. Sorry, its all utter BS.
In my opinion Tom Cruise is between 5'7 and 5'8, but closer to 5'8. The media have made a big thing of him being short which has propogated a myth, and because he always wore lifts to see eye to eye with his 5'11 ex wife people suspect he is wearing lifts all the time,which he isn;t. Rent out Rain Man and compare him with 5'5.5 Dustin Hoffmann. He's at least 2 inches taller than Hoffmann in every scene. Go to Gettyimages type in Tom Cruise and Ben Stiller (listed 5'6/5'7). I've already posted pictures with 5'7 Michael Penna, its clear as day Tom is taller. Most people have seen this video clip of Cruise and Stiller...and remember Stiller is listed here at 5'6.5. Lets take a half inch off and say Stiller is 5'6

5'5/5'6 for Cruise is nonsense.

Brad, you are probably the most logical guy on this site, yet you remain ILLOGICAL in regards to Cruise. The man was exposed in the late 80's of having had a doctor measure him at 5'6 3/4" (he IS the same height as Glenn, who you offer NO leaway or mercy to), YET, with Cruise you add 1 1/4" to his height. You clearly are loyal to Cruise for some reason. Cruise has NEVER seen 5'8", let alone a FULL 5'7".

I think 5'7 is a fair estimate Clay, but in my opinion it's 5'7 minimum if Katie really is 5'9. There are Pics on the net showing him taller than Katie like these:-
Click Here
Click Here
If Katie is 5'9,Tom is standing at 5'10. To get 3 inch lift out of a shoe(and I've never come across any that give 3 inches) it would have to be built up considerably on the heel and sole. In the above pics, I would guess Tom was getting a max of 2 inches from his shoes 5'8->5'10.
Look at this pic of director and cast of Collateral
Click Here
Jamie Foxx is listed 5'9 here,anf Michael Mann next to him listed at 5'8. People can make there own judgement on Cruise, but in my opinion, no way is he under 5'7.

Brad, I've met Cruise and Katie Holmes here in Malibu(they were both in sandals) and Cruise is absoutely not 5'8. With his lifts he can probably pass off as 5'10, without shoes He's about 5'7 maximum. Katie is very tall for a girl though, she towered over all the other females near her.

Gilipolas: Nobody should feel discriminated and you're right this site is for fun. BUT you arrived here yourself discriminating and using a very harsh tone towards Glenn from day one (Arnold page)! It's ok to preach if you live by your own words? But as I see it you don't! That's why I called you out on your bad english. Glenn did as well. If you had conducted yourself better and treated Glenn with respect none of this would have happened. I hope you realize that. Nobody is out to get you or discriminate you but if you come here and act up you are bound get a reaction. Remember that. Peace.

Tom strikes me as a guy who wears lifts more than the average male celeb. I mean he is a very short man and sort of feminine.

If I concentrate on the english language I make fewer mistakes. But at least you understand what I'm saying! TOM is barely capable of putting together a sentence that most folks will understand. There is a big difference. And get yourself a nickname! Incredible...

Downgrade...we all know Glenn's night height especially with bag lol, which is 5ft 6 3/4. As you can see ont he left they are both good posture witha clear difference of at least 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch at most. Thsi would make Tom 5'7.5 at the most ASSUMING he's not wearings lifts. You can figure that he has at least a 1/2 inch lift or so which wouodl easily rbing him down to from 5'6.75 to 5'7 flat...so there ya go Cruise is no more than 5ft 7.5 and there is a possibility he could be 5'6 1/2-3/4 if he were wearing typical lifts, which is very possible considering the advanced level of his career at that time and his reputation...I need say no more.

That is an interesting theory Vibram, there is no doubt in my mind that Tom Cruise does wear lifts, however, considering the heights of the women in his life like Nicole and Katie it is hardly surprising he would want some elevation even at 5'8".

Yeah I know Arsavin. Why don't the press get on Mark Whalbergs back over his height, or Robin Williams, Bruce Lee, Charles Bronson and others that are/were around 5ft7 to name but a few.
A possible theory is that when the subject of height was mentioned to Tom by an interviewer early in his career, he might have acted sensitively or over-protectively, and so the word spread around the media like wildfire for them to use as a pointer of weakness. Example: "He seemed really touchy when ever I mentioned height, he's got insecurities there man." People look for weaknesses in each other, that's only natural, and height seems to annoy tom more than anything whenever it's mentioned. When he appeared on the Jonathan Ross Show a few months back, Ross never mentioned height to him, a subject he usually brings up 90% of the time when leading male movie stars are guests on his show (I guess Toms PR's had private words with Ross' producers beforehand).

Tom - I think I understand what you mean, you are saying that elevator shoes which also have a substantial heel could give a 10cm difference from a barefoot height. You could well be right, however, my idea of elevator shoes are those which do not make it blatantly obvious that your height is boosted by your footwear, in other words standard looking shoes with little or no heel with the elevation in the rear of the sole, otherwise it defeats the object because people would just assume you are only taller because of the heels. I do see your point though.

Leonari - Totally agree with you on lifts. Look at this shoe I've copied from Rob's Elevator shoe page.
Click Here
As well as the thick outer sole, it has an internal lift.Its advertised at 3.5 inch lift(9cm) when in fact it gives you 6cm.(2.4 inches) How do I know? Because embarrasingly, I purchased a pair haha.
For a normal looking shoe, (ie one that doesn't look like a munster) you will struggle to get 2 inches (5cm), because any higher and your heel will fall out of the back. This one is advertised at 2.8 inches (7cm)
Click Here
In reality, it gives you 1.8 inches from barefoot.(4.5cm)
If you really want to get 8cm from barefoot (3 inches) you can, and no one will notice..hear you go

franky's - If Katie is 5'9 then Tom cannot be 5'6 simply from this pic that rising originally posted.
Click Here
As I've posted before, you can use the big guys head in the backgound as a human tape measure. The top of Katies head levels approx 2 inches above his eyes and Tom's 1 inch,and Katie has a 1/4 inch heel. If Katie is 5'9, Tom is around 5'8.
If we assume all things equal in the pic above with Glenn (footwear,ground) and compare them with Glenn against Rob, Tom looks to me midpoint. i.e About a half inch shorter than Rob. The height listing Rob has him at is as close as we are going to get without a stadiometer measurement.

Tom - Leonari is correct, 10cm lifts do not exist as far as I am aware, after all the idea of lifts is to give a person extra height undetected and it would not be possible as 10cm is 4", it would be like concrete blocks on each foot. Also, alot of these elevator shoes do not give the heights they claim to, just to give you an example, my brother who is 5'5" in height brought a pair of flat elevated shoes which were supposed to add 8cm, when he tried them on and was measured, they only added 5cm to his height. He subsequently contacted the supplier and was told 8cm was the absolute maximum increase and would only apply to the largest shoe size possible, apparantly my brother's shoe size was too small to accomodate anything over 5cm. He could have got exactly the same increase by buying ordinary shoes with 2" heels.

i agree Dylan, 5,8 very possible, 5.7 more probable..but it's true that no one knows how thick his concealed insole could be..i'm also convinced that his custom made elevator shoes are very hard to figure out.. he could be from a min. of 5.6 to a max of 5.8 flat.

Frankys - I think in the pictures you posted you are indicating that the soles on the footwear which Cruise is wearing could conceal a considerable amount of elevation and I would not disagree with you. However, I still believe that Glenn and Brad would have noticed if he had been wearing lifts when they saw him and if so they would have allowed for that fact when considering his height. Excellent pictures though.

Tom - I used to believe Tom Cruise was 5'7", not from evidence but because like alot of people I was brainwashed by the media. Now for Glenn and Brad to agree on something is a novelty and they both agree Cruise to be 5'8", I think both Glenn and Brad are experienced enough to know whether Cruise was wearing lifts, add to this the pictures which Parker has posted and I believe there is enough evidence to confirm that Cruise is at least the 5'7.75"(172cm) which Rob has him listed at. I have seen Tom Cruise in the flesh and it is a well known fact here in England that the Media like to build up celebrities so that they can knock them down again.

I don't wear them Rober. I just made experiments and stuffed sneakers, boots, casuals-you name it with the maximum amount to see what the increase would be (read Robs article on the matter).To be able to walk and only counting the height lifts give you , not like the various elevator shoe companies that sell shoes and include the outer heel in their advertisements you can not gain over 6.5- 7 cm and that goes for boots or half boots. Normal sneakers is below 2 inches

Hey Samuel, I agree with you that there are practical advantages to being a 5'7'' male. But come on, you don't genuinely believe what you said about sex, do you? As a 5'3" female who once had a LT relationship with a 6'6'' guy, I can attest that a significant height difference definitely allows far more fab kama sutra positions! But hey, the best sex is with someone you love, regardless of height. Cheesy but true!!

C'mon, it is obvious that Tom Cruise wears lifts, and he is around 5'6-5'7, 5'7 MAX for me, since he looks a lot shorter then katie when they are both barefoot
You might want to rethink that. Click Here Katie is a 5-9 and even her half inch sandal advantage she's still not much taller. Tom is about 5-8.

John - Are you absolutely certain he is no more than 5'7"? If so, how do you explain the pictures Parker posted?

5'7 is a decent height for a man. One advantage is that you can lie in the bath comfortably, sit on chairs comfortably, etc. Plus your taller than most girls but not so much taller than you cant do certain things in bed that a taller man just couldnt do with a short girl :P

I would agree that Cruise does sometimes wear lifts, and there is no doubt at all that in the past he has worn lifts, but more often than not they are easily detectable. No way is he wearing any lifts in this picture with Michael Penna
Click Here
You just have to look at the contour of the shoe to see that. In fact Penna's footwear looks far more suspicious. I've no doubt Cruise is close to 5'8. The flak he gets from the media is simply unbelievable, and there's no doubt they have succeded in convincing the general public he is ultra short.

i don't think he is "clearly taller then 5'7" but a great actor and seems like a good guy. the media's obsession with picking holes in tom is frankly ridiculous!

Again excellent photo evidence Parker. I have from people who have seen Michael Pena close up that he is a strong 5'7" possibly just over and Cruise looks to have a good 1 1/2" to 2" height advantage. Allowing for heels, I would say you have proved your point that he is 5'8".

Samuel - My personal belief is Cruise is approximately 5'8. I think he's taller than Glenn, but shorter than Rob. 173 when he wakes, 171/172 at night. In the pics you posted, I think the second one is either photoshopped, or there is some funny camera angle going on, similar to this one of 5'10/5'11 Rod Stewart and his wife

Here's Cruise with Katie in flats
Click Here
So I would reverse the question Samuel, Katie is 5'9 - can you really see a man under 5'7 next to her?
Here's Cruise next to 5'7 listed Michael Pena
Click Here
Click Here
Does Cruise look under 5'7 in them in very flat looking shoes?
I think Rob's height listing is pretty accurate

Indeed for his age he is in amazing shape these days. Probably better than when he was young.

The man is 171cm when he wakes and 170cm when he goes to bed. Case closed.

Doesn't look weird to me koko. Tom's got on some very chunky shoes that will probably get him to 5'10.
Look at this one against his 5'11 ex wife
Click Here
She has loose posture and flats, wheras Tom is standing as straight as he can, and probably getting 2.5 inches out of his shoes. Tom can look 5'10/5'11 in his lifts.

he can look anywhere between 5'6 and 5'9. i'm no tom cruise hater but i'll bet he's packing some really expensive lifts. either way he's not really a small guy, i'll bet he can kick some serious ass, he's in great shape lately.

THIS IS THE WEIRDEST TOM CRUISE PICTURE EVER!!!!
THE GUY NEAR HIM IS 5'11 WHILE THE GIRL IS 5'7 BAREFOOT (with those hills she was probably around 5'10)

Been saying 5'6 3/4" for YEARS. Read an article on him in 1988, giving away his true height: 5'6 3/4" (Glenn's EXACT evening height).

I don't think Cruise is 5 feet 9 in his socks. More like 5 feet 7, and he wears 3-inch built up shoes.

This page has been an eye opener to me. One of the reasons I did not think Crusie was 5'8" apart from every media quote saying he is 5'7" was an article I read by Billy Warlock, who claims 5'6" but looks 5'5". Warlock wrote an article entitled "Short Guys Are Big News" and in the article, he said, "Tom Cruise is real short and Michael J Fox is tiny", I thought that a statement like that coming from someone of Warlock's height must mean Cruise was shorter, however, I am now convinced he must be at least the 5'7.75" given at the top of the page. Thank you for posting those convincing pictures Parker.

frankys, look at the man on the first pic. It seems he thinking "wow Tom ur so short even wearing those ridiculous trainers"
Editor Rob
he's wearing Air Force One sneakers. They give 3cm in height, or about 1.2 inch.
