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".

In Cocktail he looked short next to his characters - best friends girlfriend. Its the scene where she is trying to seduce him in her apartment.
Watch it again James. That girl is Kelly Lynch,listed 5'9 here. Yes she looked taller than Cruise in her heels, but when she takes her shoes off she is shorter.

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.

Complex - He probably claimed 5'9 because that's what he is in dress shoes in the evening.

I've seen Cruise argued as low as 5'3 to as high as 5'9, i've heard 5'6 a countless number of times, 5'7 tops i'd say. He's got the Pitt affect going on except instead of using lifts to look "tall" as pitt does, cruise uses lifts to look "average". I have no earthly idea why Cruise claimed 5'9, there's just no way that's even possible.

juniordunlop, no way Cruise is 5'5.5", look at him next to 5'6" Ben Stiller: Click Here; or next to 5'5.5" or 5'6" Bono: Click Here
Cruise is 5'7.5" minimum. 5'7.75" more probable.

Its true tom does have a weird body i first noticed it in Jerry Maguire when hes walking in the airport...he is pretty stocky though that is the only reason why i think he cops a bit of flak...
but you should seriously hear the comedians down in australia who dead set think hes 5 foot 4 what a joke, its true they are jealous ****s but what can you expect when you join a group such as scientology...you will get flak about anything

I worked his wedding reception to Nicole Kidman (which was quite a bit after their actual wedding) and stood by him all night. This event took place at the Long Beach museum for aviation (not exactly sure if that is the exact name, but it is an airplane museum in Long Beach). At the very tallest he "could" be 5'6", but I would put my money on 5' 5.5". No way is he 5'7" unless he wears shoe implants that work the opposite of lifts. By the way, a very nice guy. Introuced himself to me as Tom, as if I didn't know.

yeah, glenn can look a legit 5'9 to 5'10 in some pics. and that's not counting the pics where he's next to celebs who either claim or are listed elsewhere way higher than they actually are!
proportion-wise? yeah, cruise has the build of an unusually short man- which he is not. but his unflattering build and the fact that he is still just a tad under average height make him a prime target for short jokes or misconceptions. of course this is all combined with someone who has starred in big budget action movies playing the hero- who people would expect to be 6'2- but then they meet him in person and.....
i can almost bet my life that if Tom were a solid 5'10 he'd still get almost an equal amount of flak for being "short"- just look at Stallone; hell, look at Schwarzenegger!!! Arnie actually was a legit 6'2, maybe not anymore, but he still gets a crapload of short sightings and rumors- some allegedly even dating back to when he WAS his peak height!!
glenn- though Tom may actually be taller than you(if he's 5'9, which is possible), you give a much taller impression due to your proportions- as leonari said, Cruise looks a bit weird for someone as "tall" as he is, but you look fine. i wouldn't go as far as to call Tom an abnormality, but i've seen people around his size that are way lankier, therefore giving a taller impression than he ever could hope to.
let me put it this way- it's a heck of a lot easier for me to see Brad Pitt as a sex icon, raw height aside.

leonari: look at the pics and make up your own opinion...in my humble opinion cruise is 172 cm with shoes on (no lifts though)..
James: than berlusconi is 170 cm with footwear... comparing with cruise they have the same gap with veltroni..which prolly means that cruise is 172 cm with shoes on

I don't think Cruise has a small upper body: type 'Cruise, Magnolia' into google images and he looks big-chested / broad. Itr's odd cause he looked small / sparrow-like with thta grey shirt pic with Kidman posted a few days ago, like a jockey he looked. I think Charles Brosnon was 5ft8 at best - a similar height to Cruise - but never got the short mans flack, ever from the media like Tom does. Bronson pulled off the 5ft10 look, something Tom can't quite do without camera trickery and hideous boots, though. Is it because Bronson has somewhat normal-looking leg length and straight shoulders, where as Tom has short legs and sloped/compact shoulders?

The guy clearly is NOT 5'6 to 5'7 ! Im 5'6 to 5'7 , And I'd bet Cruise is taller ! ... Cruise is atleast a little taller then 5'7 , 171cm realisticly !

I agree with Glenn. There are uglier shoes out there. But Cruise packed serious lifts in there. Trust me. Thats why he needs the 1.5 sizes bigger than what he would need when buying regular shoes without wanting to put lifts in 'em. But recently he is not pulling those out of the closet. His shoes look way more decent these days.
And yes he has a very weird body shape. His shoulders are extremely narrow. I'm his height (give or take half an inch) and my shoulders are much wider. Glenns as well btw.

Glenn, I think the thickness and size of the shoes makes them ugly. If they were smaller then they wouldn't be ugly in my opinion but the size makes the difference. Sly's Rocky Balboa premiere shoes were hideous but I like some of the cowboy boots he wore in the 70's and 80's that weren't thick but had a big heel. Downey's shoes themselves aren't that bad which is the problem considering the fact that he trys to put 2 inch lifts in them. Downey's problem is that he has no idea how to hide lifts. Vin Diesel probably has some of the ugliest boots. Way too thick and chunky. Sometimes his boots like fine though.
Now that I think of it, Cruise has much worse shoes than he wore in the picture I just posted.
I honestly think these shoes are truly hideous. I don't understand why anyone would wear them.

Maybe I'm missing something but those really seem ugly to me.
I've seen Brad Pitt and Sly wear these. They aren't as bad but they give a lot of height. These actually don't look too bad, it's just obvious why he wears them.

If he wants 2.5 or 3 inches then he should just wear those and not what he wore in the first 2 pictures. Tom really can pass for 5-10 or close to it in certain shoes.
Honestly though when I want more height, I wear cowboy boots. I like the way those look and they give 2 inches even without lifts.

i think everyone thinks he's short is because he is a small man, not just in height, but in actual size
Indeedio. He has sloped shoulders, a long neck, a short back/spine with shortish legs as well. This makes guys below 5'10 look small IMO.

When Cruise was being marketed as an action hero around the time of MI2 he wore some of the thickest, ugliest shoes I've seen a celebrity wear.

In them he does look every bit as tall as 5-9.5, 5-10 Cuba Gooding Jr. though and Cruise is slouching. That means at worst he's a weak 5-8.

Parker said on 4/Jan/09
I'm with you shredder, I too think he's 173,(legit 5'8) but definately no more than that, but Robs listing of 172 is only a cm off, so perhaps you could argue he could be 172 at night after carrying a sack of potatoes around on his back for 14 hrs.
Complex - good pic but unfortunately, without seeing their feet its impossible to make an accurate height estimate.
In my opinion Cruise is a legit 5'8, but his wife's footwear can make a big difference to any pic together.
I think Katie is as listed here (5'9)and Cruise can get to 5'9, 5'9.5 in standard footwear,dress shoes as here with his wife in mm footwear-
Click Here
Now,equip Katie with her favourite 3 inchers..
Click Here
Put her together in a pic with Tom in a pair of his flatter shoes...
Click Here
And abracadabra, he stands 5'9 and she 6 foot.
Put them in a group pic on the same night with 5'6 Marc Anthony and J Lo..
Click Here
Still looking 5'9.
Put Tom in Converse and Katie in marginally shy of 3 inchers,
Click Here
Tom maybe standing at 5'8.5/5'8.75
Now roll the years back and get him into Stallone lifts against his ex 5'11 wife
Click Here
He's standing close to 5'11. If he's 5'6, he's getting 5 inches from his shoes, If he's 5'7, 4 inches, 5'8 2.5/3 inches. Before you decide how much his shoes are giving him, bare in mind I once had these shoes

They give you 3 inches from barefoot.

Tom looks an easy 5-8 barefoot with Katie. Her sandals give her a quarter or half an inch.
Great pictures Parker. I think he's 5-8. I also think there's a better chance that he's 5-9 as he claims over the 5-6.75 figure you hear.
He's really not that short. Rob has him listed well.

He did look 5'8" - 5'9" and an average height man in "Risky Business" (1983). Didn't look small at all but was a slimmer framed man compared with today. Go's to show 5'7" men can look average before they become stockier, thus shorter-looking with age.

I really have a hard time buying anything less then 5'7" 1/2 for Tom. Complex quit trolling around these forums with your 5'6" claims. 5'6" isn't possible for cruise, I would buy 5'10" before 5'6" for cruise.

Parker , I find it hard to see how people can even see as low as 5'7 flat ! ... That guy Michael Pena looks 170cm and so does JJ Abrams looks 170cm also , and actually JJ Abrams next to 5'4-5'5 women in heels is exactly how my grandpa looks next to my 5'4 grandma in heels , and my grandpa is a measured by the army 5'7 guy , and still is ! ... This is why I don't see Tom being just 170cm , because a 5'7 flat guy next to women that height in heels will look at most the womens height , Tom always looks taller !
Rob , this is the reason I can't see him being 170cm ! ... Im not going to demand 5'9 ... I don't think he is that tall , but he has got to be 172cm !
Rob , do you think 172cm is minimum ?

I read somewhere that in the mid to late 80's, Tom was listed on a movie's cast list as being 169cm. I think it was around the time he did his first movie,(some fantasy/adventure type flick),but I can't find the article that I saw it mentioned.I still can't see him being any more than 171cm-172cm though at max.

Adam - Get an envelope or a ruler and line it up at the top of Cruise's head on the pic. If Heston was 9 inches taller you'd see Heston's full head. You don't. He's more like 7 inches taller than Tom 6'3 -7" = 5'8.
Also, with respect trying to estimate a 5'7/5'8 guy accurately against a 6'3 guy is almost impossible.

Go to the Charlton Heston -page. There is a pic (put by Gonzalo) where Tom is standing next to Charlton Heston. The 6-3 Heston looks what 8-9 inches taller. So that makes Cruise.... 5-6 to 5-7. And that is pretty much what he is!

Well dumbdude, those pics suggest Penelope was up to his eyes, which makes him a good 4.5 inches taller than her. 5'2 is a low estimate for her. Rob has her at 5'4. Even if we say 5'3, that puts Tom at over 5'7. Certainly not the ridiculous 5'4 you have claimed in this thread. Either you have an obsessive need to make every celeb as short as possible, due to your own insecurities, or you are on here making stupid comments for a lark.

I'm sorry there's no way that Tom Cruise is 5'7'. look at the proportions of his face when he stands next to someone who most likely isn't wearing lifts. if you look at the -face- you can clearly tell his body his on the small side. his head is like an inch or more smaller than spielberg's, whose 5'7-5'8. that being said, I would say his actual height is 5'5.5-5'6. 5'7'' is an average height for human beings, but i know tom is short.

I gotta agree on Tom Cruise having a slightly bulked (??) body, you have to keep in mind something :) if you are 1.72 cm and got a muscled body, you will look 1.65cm this is because once you get "big" your upper body and maybe your legs will look short when in fact it isn't really that short.
that's why a 60KG guy with a height of 1.65cm will look taller than a 80kg guy with a height of 1.75cm. it's all about proportions and body frame, small frame = look taller.
the best example is JENSEN ACKLES (from Supernatural), because his body is well muscled he doesn't look 1.85 cm onscreen, add to this a big leather jacket and you're looking at him as if he's 1.75cm.
in conclusion, i agree Tom Cruise body frame makes him look short, indeed his upper body doesn't showcase his height with or without lifts, although technically he is 1.70 - 1.72cm he definetely look shorter.
Jared Padelski is 1.93cm like me and thanks to the huge jackets and other things he looks BIG (his upper body) but doesn't look 1.93 cm, maybe 1.85 cm even though he is really 1.93cm. ;)
your body frame and what you wear makes a difference. ;) i don't think Tom Cruise is 5.6' ....he is definetely 1.71 - 1.72cm without shoes and no less than 1.70cm. absolutely not.
i agree also that Tom Cruise obsession with his height gave the opportunity to the "hateful" media to annoy him with frases like "TOM CRUISE IS SHORT" when in fact he isn't. they just found a good opportunity to write something that would cause some interest, people read magazines and a title like "TOM CRUISE.....SHORT!" ..is eye catching :-D ****s lol

If Tom was more open about his height and concealed it less, people wouldn't be as interested as they are. The truth is the man is 5'5, 5'6. This is relatively short, but not such a big deal in hollywood, lots of short actors. In most pictures you don't get a true sense of his height. But w/o a doubt, he has a short upperbody. Using this as an indicator of his true height as he has small legs too, it's only natural to assume he is wearing large lifts, and constantly. Once again this guy is 5'6 tops.

By Franco-"for men anything above 1.70cm isn't short, unless you live somewhere where everyone is 1.80cm."
I agree. I see guys that are 5'7"/5'8" everywhere. Here in Michigan it seems almost average and maybe only slightly short. I've never understood why people rip on Tom the way they do (at least not for his height). I see far more guys around his height then I do 6'1" and up.

Let's not kid ourselves, and this is coming from a 1.93 cm guy (me)......1.72 cm isn't short, period.
it may look short compared to a 1.80cm guy, and a 1.80 will be considered short compared to someone like me 1.93cm, and 1.93 will be considered short compared to a 2.00 cm guy etc.
keep in mind that here in Italy most girls are around 1.55 to 1.60cm, so Tom Cruise would be considered tall without lifts for them, a 12 cm difference and most girls here date shorter guys around the 1.60-1.65 cm. bah
also i dunno why they say Tom Cruise is short when you have someone like Danny De Vito that is 1.52cm, why don't they laugh at Danny instead and stop kidding themselves?
1.72 to 1.75cm is not short nor THAT average either, for men anything above 1.70cm isn't short, unless you live somewhere where everyone is 1.80cm. (highly unlikely).
YES, tom cruise is 1.72cm and not an inch more (without shoes).
Danny De Vito, Joe Pesci......SHORT! Tom Cruise? not. ;)
Let's not kid ourselves, and this is coming from a 1.93 cm guy (me)......1.72 cm isn't short, period.
it may look short compared to a 1.80cm guy, and a 1.80 will be considered short compared to someone like me 1.93cm, and 1.93 will be considered short compared to a 2.00 cm guy etc.
keep in mind that here in Italy most girls are around 1.55 to 1.60cm, so Tom Cruise would be considered tall without lifts for them, a 12 cm difference and most girls here date shorter guys around the 1.60-1.65 cm. bah
also i dunno why they say Tom Cruise is short when you have someone like Danny De Vito that is 1.52cm, why don't they laugh at Danny instead and stop kidding themselves?
1.72 to 1.75cm is not short nor THAT average either, for men anything above 1.70cm isn't short, unless you live somewhere where everyone is 1.80cm. (highly unlikely).
YES, tom cruise is 1.72cm and not an inch more (without shoes).

i talked with cruise sathurday he looked just under 5'9 like 5'8 but his shoes looked like elevators even thaugh they had only 1.25 outside heel if they were none lifted id say a strong 5'8 but barefeet might be closer to 171 with elevator on he looked 173 174 range they were high cut dress boots and they looked similar with elevator shoes that a friend of mine is wering but if he was wearing only the 1.25 heels he could be a 5'8 guy no more possibly less like 171 or 172

No way Cruise is "taller", "shorter", "taller"than Spielberg. Tom is SHORT. As a 6' woman, just check out a guy's upper arm. If it's really short, they're wearing LIFTS!!! Back in the daym Paul Newman always had the "forward" walk. We knew he was wearing heels, bur it was freakin' Paul Newman!!! and the acting trumped the size. Same with antonio Banderas. Now, MY favorite guy is at least 6' 2'', bur talent trumps size anyday. I'll take Sir Antony Hopkins over Josh Hartnett any day. Height is height and talent is talent. I don't mind that Tom is 5'6"...if that...you can't find a better performance than his in "Rainman"!

Tom is 5'7" and wears lifts next to Katie (and did near Nicole) when she's wearing heels so he doesn't look mini. Everyone knows he is shorter, but he doesn't want to look dwarfed. I recently saw a picture of them walking along a dock near a boat and they were in sandals. He looks the appropriate 1.5-2 inches shorter than 5'9" Katie. If I can find that picture again I will post it.

I really did bump into him, literally, last weekend (in Las Vegas at the Wynn Hotel) (believe what you will) and I am 5'8" and I was wearing Haviana flip flops (flat flatt). I was an inch to three inches taler and he was in loafer type shoes. It was so weird and his body guards pushed me away. I really captured the impression that he is 56' to 5'7" and the 5'7" is generous. I also looked up to Katy Holmes, in the eye (and she smiled sweetly and said hi) and she was in huge heels and not much taller than me, 5'8 max?
Anyway, crazy run-in and it happened with four of my friends, all who say he was 5'4-5'4" but I will be the benefactor of the doubt and say he is max 5'7'.

If you plan to respond of about the stunt industry facts I speak of. Be smart and do some research first and you will see I'm telling the truth. I said he was 5'9 NOT 5'11. The article is about Tom being 5'11. He isnt 5'11. He is 5'9 and i have seen him in his bare feet and I'm 6'1.

I Don't know. The more I look at pictures, including those with Glenn, and read about what ppl say after meeting him, including Stuntman, I'm starting to think he is more in the vicinity of 5'8"-5'8.5". What do you really think Rob? I know 'officially' you think he's 5'7.75", but I suspect you're denying him that last .25"-.75" becuase you'd be crucified by the masses if there wasn't that 7 in there, lol.

Just to be clear, I believe Tom stands at about 5'8. I don't understand the photograph I posted belowbelow, it must be some sort of camera angle/trick - didn't Rob post 3 candles once of the same size looking very different? I think this must be something similar.

Look's like the fit has hit the shan for the 5 7 and over claims. Katy's around 5 7ish herself, and with those three inch heels she has on, she looks about 5 10. If Tom were really 5 7, he'd be at least up to Katy's nose level even in those heels, but he's barely coming up to her shoulder. Still he's taller than 5 2 though. probably about 5 5 tops based on that pic. He's probably closer to 5 4 though. Which makes me think that as I've stated before, Dustin Hoffman is actually closer to 5 3.

Posted by Sam: "Tom Cruise looks 5'8. I've never seen him appear much shorter, maybe 5'7.5 but he's a pretty standard size guy."
The guys is 5'7"/5'8" and appears so consistently. Why do people continue to debate this? In honesty, I've never understood why people give Tom so much crap about his height. I agree with Sam that 5'7"/5'8" is a pretty standard height. Before anyone says anything, I agree that it IS short. If you're going by statistics he is certainly below average height, period. But when I say that it's pretty standard I mean that it isn't THAT short. There are guys all over the place this height, and they never turn any heads or are pointed out as "really short." In real life 5'7"/5'8" guys just don't suffer from the same stigma as truly very short men, be it socially, romantically, professionally, whatever. So it is short, but not dramatically noticeable, and in that sense Tom is a pretty standard guy. Far from tall, but not overly tiny.
I think Tom's arrogance and his repeated use of lifts is what causes him to get so much crap. If he just accepted that he's a bit on the short side, people would probably just let him be. He ought to stop speaking in general, too.......

There are some pictures of Cruise walking with Katie Holmes in OK magazine this week. All I will say to Rob is you have one of the listings on the site wrong. Either Katie is not 5'9, or Cruise is 5'8 (173/174) min. She had 3 inch heels on and there was little between them.

Speilberg looks well proportioned in the pic relative to his stature Height Detective, but Tom again does not. His arms look stubby, and his head and the rest of his upper body look real small. If you're a certain height..your arms should at least go significantly past your waist area. Every picture that I've seen Tom looking an inch or two taller than a legit 5 7 - 5 8ish guy like Glenn, it seems as though his arms barely go past his waist area. The pictures look kind of surreal, it almost seems as though Tom's standing on top a crate or as if something is "lifting" him up a good 2-3 inches.(wink)

I don't think so. Glenn looks like a 5 7 to 5 8 guy..his arms are lanky, and his head and body look fairly well proportioned. Tom's head and arms look relatively small and stubby compared to the rest of his body in those pics above with Glenn. I just can't see Cruise being anymore than 5 6, and that's being generous. I think he's really about 5 5 on the dot. I'm sure he looks 5 7 to 5 8 with 2 inch lifts and posture. And his ex wife, Nicole Kidman is nowhere near 5 10..she's definitely in the 5 7 range..5 8 tops. She looked no more than an inch and a half or so taller than 5 6ish Matthew Broderick in the Stepford Wives.

I used to run a custom leather shoe shop in Century City, Ca. Over the years many stars were my customers. My most memorable customers were Bruce Willis, Al Pacino, Arnold Scwarzenegger and Mr. Cruise among many others. Mr. Cruise was a fequent customer back in the late 80's to mid 90's when I retired. Measured him for shoes many times. Now I'm a firm 5'7. Being a former Naval Officer, I stand straight and tall. No hump in my back. Tom in his bare feet was still taller than me. I would say he is a good 5'8 maybe 5'9, but no taller. Just in case you are wondering with shoes off. Willis is 6'0 even, Pacino is 5'5, Arnie I would say is bout 6'1 to 6'2.

Hollywood height conversion chart:
Use this height conversion chart to get a roundabout estimate of the true heights of your favorite celebs:
Real Height of Celeb Hollywood Height that Celeb Gives
5 2 - 5 3.5 = 5 foot 5 to 5 foot 6(depends on the celeb's ego)
5 4 to 5 6.5 = 5 foot 9 (note: Cruise falls in this Category)
5 7 to 5 8.5 = 5 foot 10
5 9 to 5 10.5 = 5 foot 11
5 11 and up = 6 feet to 6ft 1
All heights after 5 foot 11 given by celebs are generally accurate, with the exception of those given by pro wrestlers, who usually add like to add 3 to 4 extra inches to make themselves seem more imposing in the ring.

Okay, that pic is a good one: Click Here
Now, according to this site, Oprah is almost 5'7", therefore if she's wearing three inch heels, she's a little under 5'10".
On the other hand, Cruise is wearing two inch heels (they're very obvious), making him almost 5'10".
Conclusion: the current estiamate is correct. Well, I'm certain he's not under 5'7" and not over 5'8" anyway...

the pic shows he can hit about 5'9". but who is say how he gets there? the thing is, with shoes like that, he could be under 5'7" and still appear 5'9ish ;)
Nolifts81, are you saying he looks 511 there??

This guy is a solid 5'7"(170 or 171 cm max). In that pic with Oprah he had elevator boots, no doubt. If you look at the front of the boot you'll see that seems that his feet is vertical in the shoe. Those are the tipical 4 inches elevator boots.

You can't be serious anonymous2, Tom is wearing 2-3 inch heeled boots in that pic, and I'm sure that he undoubtly has lifts inside the shoes.

Why is it trolling? Pics were posted of Sly looking an inch shorter than 5 7 Burt Young, the same height as the alleged 5 6 Sharon Stone, and about an inch shorter than the 5 6- 5 7 ish Kris Katan, among countless other quotes from reporter stating that he was visibly shorter than "5 8". I don't see how that's trolling, but whatever.

He isnt the master of lifts cause he always looks short.that would make Tom 5-5,5-6.he is 5-7,and wears lifts only on occasion to appear 5-9,5-10.Stallone is the master cause he usually looks tall.5-10 barefoot to 6-2!

He looked slightly shorter than Beau Bridges and Cuba Gooding Jr, who are both 5'10".
This guy is baffling, he's either been wearing lifts for ages, or he's actually 5'9".

I guess that confirms things Height Detective. Based on those pics, Katie must be around 5 foot 11 without heels, and a good 6 foot 2 with them on. and Tom is a strong 5 foot 10. That would put James Van der Beek at around 6 foot 2 and Joshua Jackson at about 6 ft 6, seeing as how they were both significantly taller than Katie on Dawson's Creek. Case closed. Tom is definitely 5 10.

Kidman is about 3 inches taller than Cruise, so if Tom is 5.5, that would make Kidman 5.8, instead of 5.10. perhaps she says 5 10.5 so Tom can say 5.7.5 ? they probably have it in writing somewhere...

Tom isn't 5'4", let's be serious. The guy is on the short side, but he's not THAT short. The reason why sometimes he looks short, and other times he looks very average, is that he fits neatly into that niche of guys who are right between truly short and average height: he is between 5'7" and 5'8". Guys this height are not average, but really are only slightly below what is normal, and are up at the higher end of the "short scale". A 5'7"/5'8" guy with good posture and decent shoes can look average height, even if he isn't quite there (keep in mind that perception and measurement on a scale are not the same). However, put that guy in barefeet and all of a sudden he might look short. I think this is where a lot of the confusion about Tom comes from. Anyway, the point is that a guy who is 5'7"/5'8" will cause confusion about his height because he CAN look normal. If Tom was 5'4" there would never be any confusion.

Tom Cruise is one of the very few celebrities that I've met in person and I would have to agree with Leonari. When I met him he was wearing dress boots and with them on he was between 5'7 to 5'8. I'm sure he's shorter when he's not wearing them, but not sure if it has ever been confirmed that he wears lifts in them.

Actually, Lea Thompson is listed as 5' 3.5" on this site. Looking at the clip, 2 inch difference is a max IMO, may be as low as 1.5" difference tbh...
So Cruise is a 5' 5" person? Why not? It's more concrete than looking at pics where he has footwear and lifts since he's so height conscious.
Glenn, Rob, what do you make of that? Time to downgrade to 5' 6" at least, or daren't you because it sounds so short?

Pete, his official height was never 5'6", he has claimed the official height of 5'9" since he started in Hollywood.

I watched Vanilla Sky last night. All I can say is that if Tom really is 5'7, he's the tallest 5'7 I've ever seen. He was 2-3 inches taller than 5'7 Timothy Spall. I know everyone will shout 'lifts', but Timothy was in shoes (putting him at 5'8) - and I'm sceptical of any shoe that can give you more than 3 inches from ground zero without a noticeable heel/wedge.

I had always thought he was 5'7" and he never looked anymore than that in his earlier films. Now when I see him he sometimes looks taller, maybe 5'8" I am not sure anymore.

I was 5'5 for a good 2 years before I grew to 5'8 but I know for sure tom criuse isn't 5'5 he is 5'7 no more no less. Its hard to say that he is 5'5 because in hollywood everyone wears lifts in their shoes and so for tom cruise when he wears lifts he is just to compensate for everyone else wearing lifts.

If the media and the actors he works with are taking such pains to say he is 5'7, he must then be 5'5. He must wear lifts constantly!

whoever put the poster at tom is 5-11 is wrong, 3 reasons, 1 hes is closer and 2 yes she is wearing heels but his shoes only make those heels an extra inch taller and since he is closer you should take off 2-3 iches kate is 5-9 so if he looks 5-11 i would say he is no taller than 5-7 or 5-8 and nicole didnt wear heels and he is up to her fore head so 3 inches less and kidman is 5-10 or 5-11 so 5-7 or 5-8 is probly right

Found that pic I took seconds before the above 1993 pic, where Cruise stretches as much as he can next to Kidman and Newman.I jumped in and they scattered except Cruise hence that pic.

HelloKitty, I was quoting colleagues who all had the opinion that Cruise is a small man, prior to that I had never heard the term 'stump' to describe someone's height.
Personally I think that the media really goes overboard in pointing out Tom Cruise

My father is an actor, and appeared with Cruise in the film Cocktail back in the 80s. My father's 5'6 and claims Cruise is about 5'8". I don't think they wear lifts on the set of films because it's redundant, they can easily make him taller through camera trickery. There are scenes in Eyes Wide SHut where is looks like he's standing nose to nose with Nicole Kidman. She's obviously kneeling. I don't understand this whole lifts thing - can this guy move around comfortable on 2 inch lifts? I mean, don't most shoes give you an Inch anyway? Average height is 5'9", average height most actors claim is 5'10" so there really shouldn't be any confusion. They lie about their height on their resumes because obviously they aren't going to be filmed without their shoes very often (unless it's die hard) so they want to give casting people an idea of how tall they will appear. But since EVERYBODY who's 5'8 claims to be 5'10 (Colin Farrel, Jamie Foxx, Mel Gibson, Robert DeNiro, etc. etc.) 5'10 just means 5'8 to 5'9 1/2... so whoc ares.

Klemen, Wade is pretty much a 6-4 guy, not a flat 6-3. He was measured at a hair under 6-4, so he can actually be 6-5 in shoes.

Speaking of letterman, I seen Dwyane wade on his show just after the finals and when wade enteres the set he apeared shorter than letterman! I know this is border line impossible but it could have been because of the camera angle or a difference in the height of the floor from where wade was standing. Anyone know wades real height he's listed as 6'4" on nba.com but i think hes around 6'3.5"ish.

@ trueheightHe's wearing lifts in that clip aswell. He tries to hide it, trying to walk very casual. That's why he jumps on the ledge of the platform, anybody who tries that with lifts would fall flat on their face but Tom has been practicing.
I've noticed Tom always stands very erected, obviuously trying to squeeze out every millimeter of his height. It looks pathetic and makes it very obvious that he's insecure about his height.

6'1 letterman and Cruise on his show. Freezeframe at 22sec, it looks to be at least 5in and Dave is leaning in. Nobody who's 5'9 would be a dwarfed by a 6'1er; not to mention his distractingly slight build.

I just saw some vids on youtube and noticed that Tom's shoulder's are really really slight. If he didn't have skinny hips as well, he would be shaped like an upsidown V

I saw on tv where there was this english dude who was a tom cruise look alike. He went around town and all the fans were hysterical when the saw him thinking he was the real tom cruise. But when he went into a exotic car dealership. after being told that he was a celebrity look alike, the salesman commented that he had his suspicions because the look alike was quite "tall" at 5'9-5'10, if he was shorter, he would literally be tom's twin.

Whoever gives the estimate of height on this websit is not considering elevator shoes. Celebs where them almost anywhere except for the set of a film. Tom is 5'7 just like Stallone is. Not that I have an obsession with height, but its common sense and a known fact that Cruise and Stallone are short.
