He gets flack cos he's Alpha role - leading man. It's all very well being a short male with a bit part like Seth Green does. It's just when a not-tall men acts Alpha it's some how misinterpreted as an aggressive, counteractive display with inferiority connotations based on lack of size.

If he's tip toeing then I wonder how he would look next to glenn in barefeet back to back without lifts, I bet Glenn would be taller :)

To Parker who posted on Feb 3rd: I completely agree with that post. I still don't get why Tom gets so much flak for his height when there are shorter celeb males who get barely to no flak. Pretty odd. Tom always seemed a good 5'7 1/2 man to me. No more, no less.

It's no problem Glenn. I was also able to track down your older picture with Sly as well as your pictures with Matt Damon, George Clooney, Don Cheadle and Colin Farrell.
Wow Cruise was really tip toeing for pictures? If you straightened up you might look his height anyway though.

Stiller I dont think is more than 5'7.
Cruise is likely 5'7-5'7 1/2 which is going to put Katie Holmes at as much as 5'9.

Maybe your right Tellem. There is only 1.5 inches between them. Stiller does have bad posture, and he could be as listed here - 5'6.5. That would still put Cruise at 5'8. Lets face it, we are never going to know how tall Cruise is without actually measuring him with a Stadiometer straight out of bed snd last thing at night. I don't know how tall Cruise is, but if Glenn is 5'7.5, Beckham 5'11, Katie Holmes 5'9 and Stiller 5'6.5 Cruise is for sure 5'8.

When Cruise is meeting some one taller he immediatly straightens up like hes tryin to prove that he aint that small -he almost looks uncomfortable straining when hes doing it. without lifts hes a solid 5'7 .2inches shorter than average usa male .

Glenn, I was able to find your other picture with Cruise. It had been posted on a forum in a discussion about celeb heights. I know you wanted the other one.

It was attached to the other picture but I managed to seperate it and enlarge it the best I could. I don't know if Rob wants to use it at the top, but if he does then there it is.

sorry parker, but stiller and cruise i see an inch, inch .5 max. i don't see 2 inches. if you'd study ben stiller's pics, which i'm sure u have, since you've posted a ton, you'll know that stiller HAS bad posture, and that pic with cruise both are slouching.

Fair enough parker, very well put, and no I don't think he's got lifts in his feet, lol! Only thing that throws me about that pic is wasn't that on a boat? If so hard to know if it was level, personally I think Katie is close enough to 5'9 to claim it, but I think if measured in reality would be 5'8-5'8.5, she's claimed 5'8 before. I really think 5'7 Cruise, maybe he is what Rob has him listed who knows, but I will say that a full 5'8 for him is a stretch in my eyes. More than likely id say Cruise is 5'7, Holmes 5'8-5'8.5

In this series of pictures of Tom's family, he does look the same height (or just slightly shorter) than Katie is. Take a look:

SO I guess, 5'7-3/4 seems to be accurate as Katie is listed at 5'8-1/2
Im not sure what height either of Katie or Tom are but one thing i can say is Katie Holmes has a lovely set of legs :)

Well here's another of the two Complex where neither is closer to the camera
Click Here
We agree their is a two inch difference, but your argument is flawed Complex. 5'6 for Stiller 5'7 in shoes, 5'9 for Cruise in lifts. You don't know that Stiller or Cruise are wearing lifts or not, so you have to go with the evidence of your eyes, a 5'6 man next to a 5'8 man.
Click Here
And above, we have got the advantage of the big guy's face in the background which is almost as good as uding a tape measure. You can see there is an approximate one inch between a slouching 5'8 man and a 5'9 woman....unless you think he's got lifts in his feet?

Not bad parker, granted Cruise is way closer to the camera. Shredder, I never said he was 5'6 (hands shredder a chill pill). I think Stiller is 5'6 and Cruise is 5'7 and Cruise wears casual lifts to hit 5'9 and stiller likely doesn't wear lifts.
Shredder, this is not an insult, but are you a girl or a guy? I'm just wondering because of the feminine way you wrote please, kinda reminded me of the "you ain't all that and a bag of potato chips" *Snap snap, "oh pleaseeeeeeeee", lol, just curious is all, I still say 5'7 Cruise, at best he's in the 5'7 range, 5'8 never, and he inflated big time when he said 5'9,don't know what he was thinking.

If Stiller is 5'7, then I think there's no chance of Cruise being only 5'7 as well.
Just look at every picture of them together.....and who's to say Stiller can't wear lifts??

I've heard Katie claim 5'8 and 5'9. Either way she's clearly a couple of inches over Tom, 5'7 for Tom i'd say.

In heels Katie is around the 6 foot mark. In dress shoes Tom would measure about 5-9 so that makes sense.

Wow Katie really towered over Tom in that one pic with her heels. She's probably 5'11 in them so 5'7-5'8 for Tom seems accurate.

Glenn, yea Katie I think does look a legit 5'9. She has admitted to being 5'8 too so maybe shes in the middle. I'd lean more toward 5'9 than 5'8 though. She is always a bit taller than Cruise at least.
Cruise I can buy at 5'8, no taller.

He's got sloped clavicles (the collar bone) which make him appear smaller IMO. If he didn't work work out to beef-up his deltoids it would look even more severe as well.

Keep in mind most here claim their out of bed heights, therefore they don't know there on heights muchless celebs, what a laugh, claiming highest height. I think it's better to claim mid-day or evening. If I go by you reasoning glenn statham would be 5'9....out of bed, but where would thatput him mid-day and evening?? Right where I have him. Lol, the new viper, that's classic, You gotta love these inflaters ;)

The flak Tom Cruise takes from the media reminds me very much of the 50's star Alan Ladd. I was always interested in all the old stars,Cagney,Wayne,Flynn,Robertson etc. The media had Ladd at 5'3 or 5'4. The myth was propogated after he starred in a film with Sophia Loren (5'8) who was made to stand in a ditch for their scenes together. To this day, he is still listed at 5'4 or 5'5 on most sites. Yet if you research quotes from people that actually knew him,or worked with him, his height was around 5'6 or a tad over, but the 'media' never allowed him above 5'5. Tom Cruise, in my opinion suffers the same prejudice....I really don't know why, when Fox,Stiller,Hoffman,Pesci are all much shorter and get little comment. It was the same with Ladd. Cagney and Roberston shorter but getting zero comment. Really strange.

I read an article once that was talking about the movie collateral that said they tried to keep 5'7 Cruise away from 5'9 Fox to avoid him looking smaller. At times they're barely seemed aheight difference between the two, but at other times there was two inches, There was also about 1.5 inches between him and 5'8ish Jason Statham. Best I could buy is that sometime in the morning or midday he may not quite reach 5'8, maybe the height listed here, that's not what I think he is, but that's the best someone could possible convince me of if they had outstanding proof, I'm stickin' witih 5'7 flat tho!

i truly believe that the only reason why people see cruise as "short" is because of the negative press.
i honestly think that if you were to take someone who had never heard any rumors or claims about cruise's height one way or another and were to show them just about any of his films, that person would get the impression of an easily average-sized person, or possibly even slightly above.
it's just the media that screws with peoples' expectations and produces false conceptions about things such as height.
in real life tom is slightly below average, but never really looks short on screen, especially in his action hero movies.
the only place tom is truly "short" is on paper, if you know what i mean....
would you say this is a fair assessment, glenn or anyone else?

In the barefoot pic with Katie Holmes (the back shot) has anyone mentioned he it looks like he is standing on one leg? That would make him about an inch taller than standing on both (it usually different depending on which leg you stand on but it should make you about an inch taller).

Glenn - Agree 5'9 for Cruise is not impossible, but I would suggest highly unlikely. But at the end of the day , without actually measuring someone barefoot, you can only go on how legitimate heights claimed, or listed are. For example, Frank Lampard the Chelsea footballer claims 6'. His club site list him at 6'. If it is true, David Beckham looks an inch shorter here:-
Click Here
(For none UK people Frank Lampard is 10, Michael Owen (No 8) claims 5'8 and is listed exactly same height as Cruise on celebs) A 5'8 Michael Owen and 6' Lampard would confirm David is a minimum 5'11, but not a full 6 footer.
Here's David in Gap boots (which I suggest would stand him at about 6'1)next to Tom and Katie:
Click Here
If David were to straighten up I think he would have a solid 4 inches on Tom, so again Tom 5'9 or a tad over in his footwear.
Here's another of the two of them. Don't know David's or Tom's footwear here but lets assume both have a standard inch or so.
Click Here
You can't see their feet, but assume as I've said David is in standard 1 inch shoes, Tom looks less than 3 inches shorter,so again Tom standing 5'9 in footwear. Here's another where you can see their feet,with Tom in what looks like normal dress shoes, again looking 3 inches shorter than David.
Click Here
So the evidence shows that Tom constistently looks 5'9 or a tad over in footwear,as in his photo with you above Glenn. Of course we don't know if he has a lift in his shoe, but that's heresay, and not evidence. The evidence is 5'9 in shoes, 5'8 barefoot.
Here's a pic of Tom from years back.
Click Here
If Nicole is 5'11,Tom standing as straight as he can must be close to that, more like 5'10.5. In this case we can SEE he's wearing lifts, particularly on the outside - That's evidence. Despite what some people say on this site,I don't buy for one minute you can get more that 2.5 inches out of shoes without them looking like Frankenstein shoes, so I think Tom is getting max 2.5 inches in the pic with Nicole, which again supports a 5'8 barefoot height.

Actually James, most of the previous male movie stars DID get a lot of flak about their supposed heights. Among them, Robert Redford, Paul Newman, Burt Reynolds, James Dean. It was known that Pacino, Hoffman, and others were pretty short. I would also add Stallone and Arnold have also had a lot of articles about their height. Tom gets it more because he is BELOW Average, yet as a movie star and masculine symbol, he is expected to be taller than average.

Shredder to know that he's 5'7.75 is insane, you would've had to either measure him at that height or he would've had to claim that height. He's never claimed that height and i'm sure you've prolly never measured him, so how can you know such a precise height?
That's like me saying Tom is 5'7.128487373 not a flat 5'7, lol! It's laughable, i'm stickin with flat 5'7, closer to 5'7 than 5'8 either way around it.

James, Cruise is one of the top male movie stars in the world. He represents one of the highest standards of masculinity. Men always compare themselves on the masco-meter with the stars that seem larger than life. Since for whatever reason, 6 feet is considered the ultimate height of masculinity, anyone below that becomes not as masculine - especially to those of us who are not rich and married to beautiful women!

What I find hard to imagine though is how a guy who is around 5ft8 is famous world wide for being short? Am I the only one who thinks that dosen't make much sense?
Because James the media has to find something to pick on. Tom Cruise,good looking action hero has to have 'faults' - There is no doubt by trying to disguise the fact he's 5'7/5'8 the movies have used certain tricks, as in Top Gun with 5'10 Kelly McGillis. He also wears lifts to get himself to 5'10/5'11, less so now, but certainly in the past with Nicole Kidman. Because of that people think he always wears lifts, even when barefoot they think he has them stiched into his foot. People believe what they read in the media, even if its utter nonsense like this.
Click Here
I've seen people posting on this site referring to it as true, even when the April 1st date was pointed out. Every article I read about Cruise mentions his height, normally in a derogatory manner. Stiller,Fox,Hoffmann etc who are all shorter never get so much of a mention of their height, and lets face it their attempt to portray Tom as a very short men has succeeded. Just at lunch last week in work a woman was making a big thing of Cruise only being 5'3. Even with all the evidence on this site, personal sitings from Glenn and Mr R,barefoot pics with his 5'9 wife,and lots of other pics - people are still claiming he's under 5'7.

When I saw Tom at Dodger Stadium a few years ago, he was for sure between 5-7 and 5-8 with his sneakers. We know from Sly that it is possible to get height enhancing sneakers, but I don't think that Tom had them on that day. (He was running the Olympic torch around the stadium, and it could have been awkward!)

I do agree with what Vibram said, shorter guys usually make up for their lack of height in looks. It would seem to me that it's better to be shorter wth a model face than tall and look like a goof. It's very rare you see 6'3-6'4 guys that look like pitt or clooney, most just don't look model like, some do, don't get me wrong, but that's how it seems.
But most like Pitt and Clooney are just average with model faces and use lifts to look tall, Cruise gets flack cuz he's short and uses lifts to look average, nothing wrong with that, it's the hand he was dealt! I still say 5'7.

I always find low-esteem blonde or gingery guys over 6ft are the ones quick to victiimize/bully dark haired guys below 5ft10.
Is it because they've got the "tall" part but not the "dark" or "handsome" parts and are just envious/frustrated in that they think all women want dark haired men?

Watch the other day Oprah's show about the 25th anniversary of Tom Cruise's career. He was shorter than Oprah (who was wearing high heels). Besides, Cruise got recently this wrinkleless, deadpan look on his face (and his hair looks different). Botox shots no doubt. It's incredible how actors nowadays screw up their working-tools (i.e. their faces) without a blink just on account of fashion and wrinklephobia. The same goes for his ex-wife Nicole Kidman that got that permanent malevolent look in her eyebrows after some cosmetic job. Such a pity...

If Tom were 5'9 then he'd prolly get listed as high as 5'10 to 5'11, heck even some celebs that are legit 5'9's can get listed as high as 6'0, The highest i've seen tom listed is here, you know it's bad when the highest you get is still in the 5'7 range.

I think Parker's barefoot post proves that there is only about an inch difference between Holmes and Cruise. She is 1.25 taller with 1/4 inch flip flops. My estimate is 5'8.75 for Holmes then Cruise's 5'7.75 would be pretty dead-on. If she is 5'9 as claimed then Cruise is 5'8. However, Cruise definitely wears lifts at times, but I only see him at the most 5'10 in his shoes with probably 1-inch lifts.

James, in response to your question about Tom Cruise and not mentioning his height on the talk show. Before an appearance, the stars' publicists meet with reps from the show and the media and make sure that they know which topics are off limits. Notice, you never hear Tom talk about Nicole Kidman, his kids, or his height because the media is told if they violate these rules, they will be denied access to the star. Another example: Joaquin Phoenix is never asked about the death of his brother River. Again, the topic is off limits.

Agree with you shreddar, and just to clarify I don't think anyone on this board is saying Cruise is 5'9 barefoot, but he consistently looks that height in flat shoes. On Jonathan Ross he looked about 4 to 5 inches shorter irrespective of footwear - 5'8 in my opinion.

5'9" for Cruise is DELUDED! This nonsense has to stop! The man is a HUGE lifts monger. If he was a genuine 5'9" he would reach into Stallone territory (6'0"-6'1") all the time with those babies on. He doesn't! The most he ever looks is 5'9"-5'10" (and that's in his BIGGEST and most brutal lifts). What does that tell ya?? 5'6.5" barefeet. 5'7" in the morning maybe fresh out of the bed? But that's MAX for Tom. A true 5'8" or 5'9" man would never get the kind of abuse in the media he does. Nuff said.

But that's MAX for Tom. A true 5'8" or 5'9" man would never get the kind of abuse in the media he does. Nuff said.

First, Pena is never 5'7, he's only 5'7 in shoes, I've seen him several times. 98% of all the actors lie about their height by adding average 1-2 inches, some of them more.

Personally I think he's a flat 5'7 but at best I say in the 5'7 range, I don't think he ever hits 5'8, the 5'9 claim is your typical inflation.
Oh and guys, Rob himself doesn't claim 5'9 and everyone here is saying he's 5'9. Wow wonder how high my height would get bumped up on this site :)

Doug, Cruise consistently looks in the 5'9 range in flat shoes, as here with 5'7 listed Michael Penna
Click Here
But people then argue he has 'hidden' lifts inside that give him 3 inches in total from barefoot. The same as these shoes give you:

OMG did anybody see Jonathan Ross size Cruise up when he walked in? He looked him over from head to toe as if to say, mmm hes actually a little taller than I expected. Cruise looked 5 ft 9 I thought in shoes, perfectly adequate height, 5'7.5" barefoot would be about right. I don't know why Cruise frequently is made fun of. He is marginally under average height for a man certainly not the short man he is portrayed as as if he is 5'4 or 5'5. Personally I think people are jealous of him and who wouldn't be.

I understand why he does it too Glenn. I honestly think that measuring out of bed after a good night of sleep is fair because everyone is at their max height.It doesn't make sense to me personally to wait until a certain time to measure yourself for your claim.
In my opinion if you can measure a height barefoot without tilting your head or tip toeing then you are that height.

I agree Glenn. I personally consider Rob more 5'9" than 5'8". Obviously he's entitled to claim what he wants and believe what he wants is someone's true height. I however consider someone's true height their height right out of bed after a good night of sleep.

At this premier Katie is wearing 2/2.5 heels. So if she is 5'9 as listed puts her over 5'11. Tom standing at 5'9.5 or a tad under. I think these shoes are giving him at most 2 inches, more likely 1.5, consistent with 5'8 and the barefoot pic with Katie.

ok - There not conclusive, but No way could Tom be less than 5'7

Agreed Tellem, he's not even listed here at 5'8 and too be honest, this is the highest listing i've seen for him, most have him at the 5'7 that he is. But agreeing to disagree is not a bad thing parker so i'm ok with that. We both have different opinions on how tall he is. But Parker Rob doesn't actually wake at 5'9 if I checked his measurements right it would seem he wake at 5'8.6 or something like that. I think at best 5'7.5 would be Cruise's morning or out of bed height, that's the most I could give him.

If 5ft7 Spielberg was in slight lifts he would still barely reach over 5ft9.5 with them, but still Cruise looks 1" shorter next to him in his dress shoes which look to have 1.5" heel.
A probability on that occasian:
Spielberg: 5ft7 + 1.5" soles + 1" lift = 5ft9.5
Cruise: 5ft7.25 + 1.5" = 5ft8.75

Think we'll have to agree to disagree on Cruise's height Complex. I just don't see him below Rob's listed height, and I think the height Rob has him listed is conservative.(evening height) Rob himself wakes at near 5'9, yet claims 5'8 for himself when I think 5'8.5 is closer.
I've tried inserting lifts in ordinary shoes and your slipping out of the back of the shoe anything over an inch, and I don't believe he was wearing lifts in his converse at the 'Tropics of Thunder' premier, where he looked 2 inches taller than Stiller, as he always does.

Im going to be fair and say that he might be 5'8.25 as a morning height ! He is more 5'8 then 5'7 though ! Face it ! He is taller then 5'7 , even Rob and Glenn think he is more 5'8 !
The height between Paul and Tom is not as much as people think , In the movie Tom's shoes are not that much and Tom still looked strong 5'7 at worst next to 5'10 Paul ! Theres a scene when Paul goes to Tom's door and Tom is in socks and paul is in shoes , making Paul more 5'11 and Tom still looked Rob's listing !

Parker I will answer that question then ask the same thing to you in the sense of "Is there anyone you think is the height listed or lower" cuz you seem to think they're all taller just like I think many are shorter. But parker I will say the answer is yes. To name a few, Seth Rogen I think is the height listed, Conan O'brien actually I think Conan may be taller than listed, Ed Harris, Will smith pretty much I think is the height listed, most of them women are petty accurate, I don't downgrade everybody. But celebs are naturally gonna get downgraded since they (along with most of the world) upgrade their own heights. For instance if a 5'9.5 guy says "i'm 5'10." There's nothing wrong with that...but no one's gonna look at him and say "you're not 5'10, you're 6'0" (well parker, rising, and glenn might lol-jk ;) But most would assume 5'10 is his max and if he were around a legit 5'10 that claimed it someone would assume him only to be 5'9 even tho he's close enough to claim it. My point is most claim their max height, so when assuming their heights yu can assume most are that height or lower which is why some think i'm downgrading. But come on guys, 5'9 for Cruise is out of control. He has the proportions of a 5'7 guy and that's what he looks, heck even if he could claim 5'8 that would be a max height inflated by a little bit but 5'9 is nuts, just no way! But in the one of him and her barefoot you can look at the ground and it seems to slope in cruise's favor for one, and for two alot say holmes may not be a legit 5'9, maybe 5'8-5'9. Plus isn't that picture on a boat? Unlikely they're sailing on perfectly straight water that makes the floor of the boat perfectly level which is why you can see it's in his favor, I'd say all things considering he looks 5'7 in the pic with holmes. 5'7.5 absolute maximum peak tops for cruise and a flat 5'7 most likely. But 5'8 and over for Cruise is a pipe dream. He uses elevators to claim an average height when really he's a tad below average, no big deal, I can't see why ppl have trouble accepting it...

shredder: If people already speculate that he's insecure about his height (and Cruise is no doubt aware of it), I doubt he'd specify it to the quarter inch in a chat room.
Parker & Leung: It's sort of weird -- some 5'7" and 5'8" guys are never seen as short whereas others are always taking ribbing for their height. Philipp Lahm is a 5'7" soccer player and is nicknamed "The Magical Dwarf" in Germany and English commentators often remark about his height. But for Xavi, another 5'7" player from Spain, his height is never referenced by the Spanish or English media. Same goes for 5'7.5" Arshavin (a Russian).

Shave his head and put a tape measure behind his back barefoot and he can't possibly go too much over 5'7, here i'll give him a little more leadway, 5'7.5 MAXIMUM straight out of bed on his best nights sleep, although i really think 5'7 or slightly under!

I've read paragraphs describing Rod Stewart and Mick Jagger as "short men" yet they're 5ft10 and 5ft9 respectively. Like Cruise, they both dated taller women so perhaps from comparisons to those women are where short rumors arose rather than a direct assault on their actual heights?

This is the thing about big super stars like Tom Cruise, people want to bring them down anyway they can. People are jealous of his success so they call him tiny and even describe him as short as 5'6" which is total nonsense. Just Look at him next to any 5'6" actor, he usually always has at least 2 inches on them. He looks to have 4 inches over hoffman alot of the time, but I personally think hoffman is more 5'4" these days. Tom is no shorter then 5'7" 1/2 at his absolute lowest height of the day.

Tom - 'look at the evidence - He must be between 168-170 ' What evidence? I've never seen a single picture or film that puts him below 5'7. Nothing. Zero. Nada Cruise is 5'8 'ish' - Danny Devito is short, as is Paul Williams,Davy Jones,Dudley Moore,Mickey Rooney,Michael J Fox,Rob Schneider and anyone else under 5'5. 5'7/5'8 is just under average
And speaking of 5'4 Rob Schneider, here he is looking 5 inches shorter than Cruise, and Cruise in turn looking 2 inches shorter than 5'10 Adam Sandler.

Tom - 'look at the evidence - He must be between 168-170 ' What evidence? I've never seen a single picture or film that puts him below 5'7. Nothing. Zero. Nada Cruise is 5'8 'ish' - Danny Devito is short, as is Paul Williams,Davy Jones,Dudley Moore,Mickey Rooney,Michael J Fox,Rob Schneider and anyone else under 5'5. 5'7/5'8 is just under average

Tom is a little taller 5'7 minimum , but could be a slightly taller then 5'8 ! ... It seems the most realistic ! 5'7 flat and full 5'9 I don't see , shorter then 5'7 is insane ! He supposebly claimed 5'8.25 in a chat room , I think that seems possible , he can look it !

Rob Lowe does not have 4 inches on Cruise. Around 3. Which again puts Tom at 5'8 or close to it. Get over it guys. Tom is slightly below average. He
Could be as tall as 5'8.5 when he wakes after a good nights sleep and shrinks down to 5.7.75" in tje evening. Tom Cruise being tiny is a myth. Nothing else.

I've never seen Cruise listed at 5'9 ever but even if he was that's just a waste cuz we all knw he's not that tall.
But just so I get this straight, ya'll are saying he's really 5'8-5'9 and he gets listed lower out of jealousy and it's spread everywhere that he's 5'6/5'7 as part of a conspiracy theory to make Tom shorter??? Possible but not likely. Honestly if he's 5'8 plus then how does he keep gettin described as tiny? The entire media hates tom and wants to downgrade his height???? That just sounds funny, kinda like everyone in the world is pickin on tom and downgradin his height but he's really taller, lol? I seriously doubt it. Personally i think it is what it is, he's 5'7

Here's one of Rob Lowe and Tom Cruise. Are we sure Lowe is only 5'10? To me, he looks 5'11, but I haven't seen his movies in a while...just the impression I had of him. In the movie I thought Cruise was 3 inches shorter than Lowe.

one more thing to add, sorry- this, of course, depends on whether or not we have an accurate listing on Katie Holmes' height, because the validity of his height inferred from that photo is clearly based on comparing his own height to that of Katie's.

I think Katie is 5'8.5 or 5'8.75 and Cruise is 5'7 flat. Google "Tom Cruise Height" and show me where you get anything over 5'7, literally everywhere he's listed at 5'7, i'm still sticking with either a flat 5'7 or 5'7 tops. Generally when you google someone's height you get inflated heights anyways, for instance if you google "Brad Pitt height" you get as high as 6'1, "matthew mcconaughey height" you get above 6'0 as well.
Click Here
Here check out this from Answerbag where someone asked how tall Tom was. This is where I said he gets argued as low as 5'3 among other height forums yet everyone thinks I make that stuff up. Here I say 5'7 tops and get ridiculed. At answerbag you get ridiculed if you say over 5'7 for him and most say they wouldn't use "Tom" and "Tall" in the same sentence ever. Barefoot he's 5'7 tops and sometimes even that seems a stretch, uses lifts/elevators to get listed as average, but 5'8-5'9 or him is starting to get a tad out of control.

Rising Force. Can you help me out here with your Horizontal lines. Complex, here is a barefoot shot you were asking for,Rising posted it some time back. Katie in shoes maybe giving her 1/4 - 1/2inch.
Click Here
Using the big guy at the back, line up a horizontal line from top of Katie's head across his face. From the horizontal lines down to his eyes - 2 inches. Top of Tom's head lies between the horizontal line and the guys eyes. Thus Tom is 1 inch shorter than Katie in her shoes, and he's not even standing straight. There is less than an inch between Cruise and his wife barefoot, of that I have no doubt.
5'6 is insane, 5'10 is insane. 5'7 min is unlikely, 5'8.5 is unlikely,He's also definately not 5'9. 5'7.75 - 5'8.25 (172/173) depending on time of day in my opinion.
To be fair to Complex, he is saying not under 5'7 now, which gives him credit as there are a lot on this site who would never be convinced on Cruise or Stallone's height even if Rob measured them both barefoot with his stadiometer.
Complex's 5'7.5 first thing in the morning against mine 5'8.25 = 3/4inch difference in opinions. Your never going to get much closer without measuring him.

5'9 is clinically insane for Cruise. I'd bet ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY ON IT. Maybe he's not 5'6 but i've heard on numerous accounts he was measured at 5'6.75 but i've never seen proof though, flat 5'7 for Cruise, he never even reaches 5'8 barefoot much less 5'9. Parker he could be getting exta height from those shoes, if you check Pitt's page a guy posted pics of him putting 2 inch lifts in high-top converse so anything's possible.
Tell you what, does anyone here have any pics of Cruise BAREFOOT where he looks 5'8 or over?? Don't come and show me pics of him in shoes, I want to see barefoot pics, I want to see all ten toes and him next to someone to compare because he's obviously a lift abuser and drops a lift in anything he can, so if it's not barefoot, it's not solid proof. Next to 5'8.5-5'9 tops holmes, he looks a flat 5'7, who can deny that!

I think 5'9 is the most deluded, we know he definately NEVER EVER reaches 5'9 barefoot not even in the morning so more likely he's 5'6 than 5'9. For now i'll give him 5'7 dead on but very most I could believe is 5'7.5 morning height, I mean he's not the tallest guy in the world, so what. It's like ppl here want him to be 6'0 or something and it's just not gonna happen. Not like it matters, he's married to holmes and is clearly dwarfed by her in heels and obviously they are both ok with that so I doubt it matters that he's only 5'7 cuz he seems happily in love, crazy happy in love, proof of that is on that oprah episode where I literally think he was virtually clinically insane, lol! 5'9 is out of the ballpark tho, maybe at best he could round up to a weak 5'8 even tho he never hits that, but i'm stickin' w/5'7. No telling what he was on when he said 5'9.

Complex - If you think Tom is 5'7 Tops, that is your opinion that you are entitled to. But using your logic on the Mcconaughey pic, it would make Ben Stiller 5'5 tops. You would then need to put Hoffman at 5'4 tops, and Michael J Fox at 5'2 tops. And 5'7 listed Michael Penna? 5'4/5'5?

Unless you think Cruise is getting 3 inches from barefoot height in those shoes?....sorry, I just don't see it.

Tom Cruise is about 5'7 I think. Not shorter or taller. Exactly 5'7. I think it's awesome that a lot of really good actors are "short". It just goes to show that you don't have to be 6'+ tall to be a successful person. Women just chose taller men because they think they are protected. Ladies let me ask you this, If you and your boyfriend/husband had to walk through a dark alley one night, who would you rather have by your side? A tall man like lets say Vince Vaughan? or a tiny 5'7 guy like Bruce Lee? Height shouldn't be an issue anymore.

But acg I don't see her wearing heels though, I work with nothing but chicks and they wear shoes look that 24/7 and they are completely flat. It's almost like they look exactly like your typical heeled shoe minus the heel and I think Kidman is more 5'10. But assuming that she is in heels then I would retract my statement.
Click Here
This is the pic I was refering too, I really see no heels there,if you look at her foot under her dress you can clearly tell there's no heels, you can see the back heel of her foot is nearest the ground. I'd guess she's getting 0.5 inches from those shoes and if you subtract his hair you would still see a difference, prolly close to 2 inches.
I've said it a million times, cruise is 5'8 in decent lifts and prolly 5'9 in big lifts and in sly like elevators with lifts he might be able to reach 5'10, he could never go over 5'10 in my eyes unless in stilts! All i'm saying acg is ya'll aren't making sense, you say there's not much difference in him and supposed 5'11 kidman in heels yet we've all seen him completely dwarfed by 5'9 katie in heels. That just doesn't make sense.

Click Here (Let's just assume for a moment Mcconaughey is the height listed here 5'10.5....how tall does that make Tom????) Personally I think Mcconaughey is shorter than listed here but even if we give him the height listed here where does that put Cruise honestly) and since alot of you say "LIFTS ARE OVER_RATED & STARS DON'T WEAR LIFTS" (which is obviously ignorant) we'll assume their both in casual footwear, even tho I doubt either one leaves the house w/o some sort of height increasing footwear. 5'7 tops!

GREAT post, Complex! I'm with you on this one: 5'6.75" for prime Cruise! Prolly shorter today since he is fast approaching the big FIVE-O. 5'6.5" barefeet?? Probably...

even in those HUGE, repeat HUGE shoes that he's wearing in the kidman pics he looks between 5'8, 5'9 max.
Are you serious?? First off, Kidman is 5'11- barefoot. Then keep in mind that she was wearing heels. That makes her well over 6' tall altogether. Now Tom looks about the same height as her, sometimes even taller when he wore his possibly height-enhancing shoes.
To say he still looked only "5'8 or 5'9 max" with those "HUGE, HUGE shoes" is pretty far out there.

Stallone hasn't been UNDER 5'9" in his adult life. The fact that you think Sly is only a half inch taller than Cruise is laughable. Cruise is a minimum 2 inches shorter. I base that on the fact that I've seen Cruise is monster shoes and he barely reaches 5'11" in them. Sly looks to be reaching over 6'1" in shoes all the time.
Remember Sly in elevator shoes next to 6'1.5" David Letterman? Sly was barely shorter. Remember Cruise in elevator shoes next to 5'11" Jay Leno? Shorter than Jay by atleast the same amount.
Once again Sly is 2-3 inches taller than Cruise.

If I was worth a few hundred million I can assure you I could get custom Chuck Taylors. I wish I was 6' 1". It sucks being tall. I wish I could find a way to be shorter and to stop my boxer dog from farting and snoring. Tellem has to meet Cruise, but 5' 7.5" is close to reality. Stallone has never seen 5' 9" in his life.

No offense, but ya'll are clinically insane if ya'll think it's a stretch that celebs can get 3 inches from shoes. Shoe lift sites advertise even more than that. Even shox give like 1.5 inches and that's w/o lifts and timberlands give a decent amount of height as well, so elevators are so much more. I slipped on a pair of elevators once that a friend of mine had and they gave a solid 3 inches of height and were solely undetectable...and that's w/o lifts. So to answer Parker's question yes I seriously believe that Cruise is getting 3 inches in his lift pics, why not, he's called short 24/7 and criticized so he uses this so he won't get picked on. Heck if ppl all over the world started criticizing me for being fat I would either lose some weight or wear something to make me look thin and thinner clothes to hide it. Kind of what cruise does.
But Parker in the one of Cruise and her stnding straight up by that statue he still looks 1.5 to 2 inches shorter if you subtracted his hair and she stood straight up. Plus has anyone looked at his heels in those, they are ginormous. I don't know what the ppl that think Cruise ever looks 5'10 is smoking but I don't see it, even in those HUGE, repeat HUGE shoes that he's wearing in the kidman pics he looks between 5'8, 5'9 max. 5'7 tops barefoot, even in the barefoot pic of him and katie he looked 1.5-2 inches shorter and alot say she's more 5'8-5'8.5, plus he was measured at 5'6.75 according to several sources, 5'8 is a HUGE stretch for him barefoot! Trust me on this one!

Thinking about Parker's last pic with Tom+lifts against Nicole+nothing soles, I imagine several scenarios...
1) They both have the same amount of time out of bed and Tom really reaches Nicole's barefoot height when he's in those lifts; which means he could look TALLER than her if they had shot the photo with Tom at max height. Since most people lose .7" we can assume as much as a 1.4" swing between the two.
2) The picture is rigged (intentionally or not) because Nicole is near minumum height and Tom is near maximum and he's benefiting from the max 1.4" swing or less.
3) Nicole is the one benefiting from a time of day advantage. This would make Tom even taller than he looks in that photo.

Tellem - If you read my post I was going off the heights listed on this site. Stiller is listed at 5.6.5 (You say 5'6),Hoffman is listed at 5'5.5 (You say 5'5 tops) If you think Tom is 5'7,we'll agree to disagree. I think he's 5'8 at midday.Not seen any shred of evidence to refute it.Here's Stiller with Michael J Fox-
Click Here
Looks around 4 inches taller than Michael, so I think 5'6 for Stiller could be a tad low - If he is 5'6, Cruise looks at least 1.5 inches taller which still puts Tom at 5'7.5 MIN. Here's Michael with his wife standing approx 3 inches taller in whatever footwear she has on-

Consistent - Tom 2 inches taller than Stiller,1.5 minimum. Sorry, He's 5'8.

Thanks Parker , Same reasons why I don't see a flat 5'7 for him , I can see him being as tall as 5'8.5 , he is most likely 5'7.75 to 5'8.25 , he is closer to that then 5'7 flat or full 5'9 !

I did read your whole post and when I responded "you do realize 5'3" to 5'5" is absolute rubbish" I meant exactly that. I was pointing out that those heights shouldn't be given any credence. Even though you said he's prolly 5'7" you seemed to give credence to those much lower estimates. At the end You suggested that the 5'7" listing might be the same as the 6'1" listings for Pitt. BTW Cruise took some pics with Kidman in heels and those are the ones I was referring to.

Acg this is just a question not meant offensive, but how can you ppl tell that celebs have no lifts? Do ya'll know what lifts are...lifts are designed to be HIDDEN and are placed INSIDE the shoe, so the only way we could ever say for sure that a celeb has no lifts is to make them take off their shoes and check inside their shoes, that's the only way, just guessing and saying "oh he had no lifts and looked 5'10" that makes no sense at all. Again I say I have a friend that puts lifts in even converse and no one ever notices. 5'7 tops for Cruise barefoot, 5'9 in lifts.
I'm simply going by what glenn said- ask him. But glenn has had loads of experience studying these celebs and seen every type of footwear on them imaginable- and then some. So if glenn ventures as far as to say that Tom looked 5'9" once without lifts, then I'm completely behind him on that.
Good chance he is not 5'9 and the sighting was a result of uneven pavement, etc... but there is no way on earth a "5'7 tops" guy could look 5'9" sans height enhancing footwear.
I think Parker hit the nail on the head with his last post.

ok - Lets imagine a flat 5'7 for Cruise, and remind ourselves, using the heights listed on this site, what Stiller and Hoffman look like pictured together.
Click Here
5'5.5 for Hoffman, and 5'6.5 for Stiller.
Now look at Cruise and Stiller.
Click Here
Click Here
Click Here
Looks to be 1.5 to 2 inches height difference. 'Lifts' comes the cry. Well Stiller could be in lifts, but we can't have that. Only Cruise wears lifts. So if Stiller is 5'8 in shoes in the pics, Cruise is 5'10 in shoes. That's a 3 inch lift EVERY time Cruise is pictured with Stiller.
Here's Cruise with 5'7 Michael Penna
Click Here
Penna's footwear looks suspicious but it can't be, only Cruise wears lifts, so again looking 5'10 (IF Penna is 5'7) = So Cruise again is getting 3 inches from his shoes - Does ANYONE seriously believe it?
Finally here he is with 5'11 Nicole Kidman
Click Here
Yes, in this picture he IS wearing lifts - but to look like that against Kidman he'd have to be getting 4 inches from a flat 5'7.
In summary, I've not seen 1 pic or a shred of evidence over 'hearsay and conjecture' that shows he can be anything less than 5'7.5.
When I first visited this site about 3 years ago, I believed Cruise was 5'7 tops. Rob had him listed at 171. Like me, he's seen enough evidence, and heard from Glenn that he's nothing under 5'7, and more likely nearer to 5'8. Facts are he's closer to 5'9 than 5'6. Robs upped him to 172. I personally still think he has him a cm too low.
For some reason the press and numerous people WANT him to be less than 5'7. I've seen ridiculous press as low as 5'4 here
Click Here
People want him to be short. Sorry, he's not. He's a tad below average.

runt..pause a second, reread my post that you commented on, then realize that I never said he's 5'3-5'5. I know he's not that low, but if you go to other height forums, there are ppl that argue he's those heights barefoot. If you woulda read my whole post you woulda seen that I gave him 5'7 not over, I never said "Cruise is 5'3" or "Cruise is 5'5", in that scenario it seems you read what you wanted to read. I think the absolute lowest for Cruise is 5'6 and the absolute highest is 5'7.5, he's somewhere in between barefoot evening height. and I could buy 5'8.5 for sly but personally I think he may be 5'8. 5'11 for sly is hysterical. At best Sly is 5'9.
But runt in the pics of cruise and nichole she's in flats and he's in MONSTERISHLY HUGE ELEVATORS and he's still an inch shorter. 5'7 maximum for cruise, sorry you guys are having a hard time accepting it but that's what it is.

I agree shredder.
Cruise ended up nearly Jay Leno's height recently and a few years ago Sly ended up nearly Letterman's height. That does back up Cruise at a minimum 5'7.5" and Sly at a minimum 5'10". I think each are about half an inch taller though.

I have difficulty with a solid 5-8 for Tom and a struggling 5-11 for Sly. I think in both cases these actors might be willing to 'prove' their height because the consensus is that they are quite shorter than these marks. Similar to the stunt that Mel Gibson pulled when he took his shoes off on that show, I think Sly at a struggling 5-11 with military posture + 10 hours of sleep should be able to take his shoes off on Jay Leno.

Brad, you're pathetic when it comes to Sly. You'll say anything to downgrade him to your RIDICULOUS 5'8.5" estimate. When Sly wants more height it's pretty obvious(look at those black boots in the Rocky movies or his Demolition Man boots). I'd bet my life there were no lifts in those Converse shoes, there was nothing weird looking about them.

Complex, you do realize that 5'3" to 5'5" is complete and absolute rubbish? Have you seen 5'3" ppl in pics with Nicole Kidman in her heels??? I guess not. In the past, I've posted Naomi Watts in heels against Nicole Kidman in heels. A 5'3" to 5'5" Cruise in lifts WOULD resemble 5-4ish Naomi Watts in heels. Trust me, Naomi/Nicole pics are not even in the ballpark of Tom/Nicole pics no matter what heels she's wearing.

Trust me, Naomi/Nicole pics are not even in the ballpark of Tom/Nicole pics no matter what heels she's wearing.

Acg this is just a question not meant offensive, but how can you ppl tell that celebs have no lifts? Do ya'll know what lifts are...lifts are designed to be HIDDEN and are placed INSIDE the shoe, so the only way we could ever say for sure that a celeb has no lifts is to make them take off their shoes and check inside their shoes, that's the only way, just guessing and saying "oh he had no lifts and looked 5'10" that makes no sense at all. Again I say I have a friend that puts lifts in even converse and no one ever notices. 5'7 tops for Cruise barefoot, 5'9 in lifts.

I think Tom is taller then Ryan ... I think Ryan is 5'7.25 -5'7.75 , and Tom 5'7.75 - 5'8.25 ! ... I think Tom has GOT to be what Rob list him as ! I rule out him being as short as 5'7 , 5'6 is the same or worst as saying 5'10 , 5'9 seems just a tad too much , 5'8.5 is possible but tops , 5'8 or a tad taller is very possible , 5'7.75 is a good guess !
I don't see how people would go ape sh!+ for him being taller then 5'7 ! Atleast Rob is close with his barefoot guess !

At the Golden Globes, Cruise had an inch over Ryan Seacrest, who himself had an inch over Ricky Gervais, who is 5'7 1/2" on this site.....safe to say Tom's "public appearance" height is a strong 5'9" at the moment

While some people keep trying to bash him because of his height or religion. He's one of the most powerful celebrities in the industry , has a lot of money, fame, looks, and has worked with some of the most acclaimed directors and actors of the world. Yeah he must be losing sleep about his height.

Everything Parker says is true, except I actually think 5'9 for Tom is a possibility. Glenn has seen Tom at this height WITHOUT any lifts, so he could be it.
I'll buy 5'9 any day before all this "5'7 tops" BS.

5'7 is the most I would give, maybe out of bed he's 5'7.5 at very best with a ton of sleep. If he were a legit 5'8 as some claim then he could get away with 5'9 and trust me, no wway could he ever get away with 5'9, ignorance I guess with ppl saying 5'8 or above for Cruise. I've heard from more than one source that he was measured at 5'6 3/4 and a flat 5'6 evening height wouldn't suprise me, I mean he's prolly 5'7 but that wouldn't suprise me, outside this height ppl argue as low as 5'3 for Cruise and most say he's prolly a flat 5'5, even on official listings he gets a whopping 5'7 and alot of height listings are generous giving things like 6'1 Pitt and 6'0 Clooney, so I say 5'7 for Cruise, not over!

Disagree Tom.On This site I think the majority think he's between 5'7 and 5'8. Me,Glenn,Brad,Shredder,James,Rising,ACG,Donatello,Lemon,Leonari. That's because we've seen the evidence. Most people outside this site (and a few on it) listen to rumours and myths and believe what they read in the press.

I agree with you TOM, for me he looks like a 5'7.5 morning max in a very good day, and they are puting him almost in 5'8 and even saying that is more probable for him to be 5'9 than 5'7 come on!! BTW I've seen publicity of tom cruise on this site I think that is one of the things that makes me believe that they are protecting tom.

"Junior's 5' 5.5" sighting is ridiculous. He's almost as tall as Katie in that barefoot boat shot and she's a tall gal. He said "spot-on" which is a Brit expression not SoCal."
So what if "spot-on" is a Brit expression? I can guarantee you I am from SoCal (if your real computer savy check my IP). Everyone here can debate all they want. Just wanted to give some insight from some personal experience. What seems to be lacking in this discussion is the simple fact that Tom is as short as the shortest you've seen him. He can only "lift" not "shrink" and I've seen him at around the 5'5.5" - 5'6" range. Certainly no taller. If anything he can only be shorter, just because he wasn't barefoot. Wishing hard enough won't help change his height.

in "the color of money" he looked 2, maybe sometimes 3 inches shorter than an aging 5'10 paul newman (if he still was 5'10) cruise is 5'7, 5'7.5 MAX...that is all

Parker says on 13/Oct/08
Clearly 1.5-2 inches taller than Ben Stiller, but 2-3 inches shorter than Beckham
Cruise Under 5'7 - no chance
5'7 Evening height - possible
5'7.5 Evening height -probable
5'8 Evening height - possible
5'9 - No chance
I'm sure you've seen this video
Click Here
And this pic when he was in converse
Click Here
He's clearly got a min 1.5 inches on Stiller and at least 2.5 on Hoffman
Click Here
Every pic and film I've seen confirms this difference, so if you have Tom 5'7 tops, then we have Stiller 5'5.5 Tops and Hoffman 5'4.5 tops. Do you really believe that? I'll accept and debate 5'7, but surely that's the lowest height he could possibly be.

When people see any 5ft7-5ft9 north european-looking white guy with black hair, white skin and light eyes they think of Tom Cruise. It's quite a rare colour combination, and to extent pred. refined to British, Welsh and Irish folk. Because Cruise is short, they think must think the 5ft9 guy with similar features as short, too, at least it must enter their head, even though 5ft9 isn't really short but beacuse of the Cruise physical similarities they're brainwashed into paring the physical features of regular guys they meet daily to stars on the screen. College girls go crazy over lookalikes don't they? I recall back to 1993 there was this guy in my school class that looked like Mark Owen from boy band 'Take That' and girls were screaming over him.

I just can't see that Parker, maybe if by dress shoes you mean lifts. But I highly doubt in the evening he can wear casual dress shoes and hit 5'9, if so, then he'd be close to 5'9 out of bed, which is impossible. 5'7 tops for Cruise, tops! He could never pass for a strong or weak 5'9...he can't even pass for a weak 5'8 in my book! I think he got so much flack about being smaller than average that he figured if he claimed 5'9 that it would get some of the ppl off his back. If he were 5'9 then the rest of the 5'9 guys in the industry should be getting just as much flack about their height as Tom, yet they arent...makes me suspicious of mr. cruise!

Tom is wise to claim 5'9, even if he may not be....there's no debating that he can easily look it, contrary to what some people want to believe.

He gives 5ft9 guys bad vibes by claiming it throughout his carrer
5'9" is way more believable then 5'6" for cruise, Complex he does use lifts to look "average". I couldn't pull that off with 2.5 inch lifts and I'm close to 5'7". So just stop with your 5'6" nonsense, if anybody should I know it would be the person who is actually 5'6". Plus look at him next to hoffman or stiller, even if hoffman is 5'4" and stiller is 5'5" that still puts cruise at strong 5'7".

Sorry Rob, don't drink while on the job. Just stating a fact. After about 4 or 5 hours it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure something like this out. Shoes can do wonders for man height (and must for him at times). At this reception he obviously wasn't "lifting" and my stated height ranges are certainly spot on.
