The 5'7 or below claims are ridiculous. He could definitely pass for 5'8 in his prime, but might have lost a fraction over the years through injuries from all the stunts. 5'7 3/4 is fair.
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 1/Feb/20
Wow! Absolute WOW! I have just turned on my telly after a nap - with an amazing dream! - to catch the last half-hour of 'Vanilla Sky'. It's one film of Tom's I have yet to see and, apart from it being star-studded, the plot looks very melancholy and deep. I've seen Kurt Russell and Penelope Cruz among the cast members, and they will be superb measuring sticks for to compare Tom's height. Yes, I'm going to buy this film. Until then, I will give Tom 5ft7.75. There is a guy in this, shorter than Tom, who's just said, "Remember in life, the sweet is never sweet without the sour!" (Or words to that effect). 🌌🌅
Never has a truer word been spoken....

No way Tom ever wear anything under 1.5" thick below his feet ever since 90s movie. All Mission Impossible film he probably wear those standard 2-2.25" elevator and some casual style he would wear 1.75-2" filming with taller actors.
Click Here when elevator lift help Tom look 1" taller than 5'8 Christian Slater while Pitt decided not to wear his lift in his hey days with Tom.

It's funny how people can say 5'11 Kidman and 5'6 Cruise in the same sentence. She's not more than 3 inches taller than him at most. (More like 2.5 ish)

@Dmeyer = If Tom wear even soft elevator shoes , they are giving always easily more than 1.25 inch,just classic shoes give you about 1.25 inch.

5'7,5-7,75 is his range 171,5-172cm , if he was 173 with just boots or small elevators he will look 5'9-9,5 , but can oftenly just look 174 with thik shoes or small lifts 5'7 flat is too low and 5'8-8,25 to high arguable is 171-172,5 , on some occasions can look as tall as 175-6cm but mostly apears 171-174cm depending on shoes , also i met the guy he looked solid 175cm while his elevator wasnt huge so 172 peak is bang on

Johan 185 cm said on 16/Dec/19
He never has seemed that bothered to me being around taller co-stars. He just wears footwear for a boost so it looks good for pics/camera, thats what i think.
I mean Kidman/Holmes are both tall women and he had no issue. He has done lots of movies with taller guys, Tom isn't one of those stars who refuses to star opposite someone because of height.
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 16/Dec/19
Yes, I noticed that, Ian! Kubrick had a habit of using tall, slender women for his nude scenes and I thought it was all part of the Kubrickesque effects.
I'm glad you mentioned that film because I have always wanted to watch it at Christmas and as that time is upon us now, 'Eyes Wide Shut' has just gone up to the top of my list. 😁🎄
⭐ My boyfriend's ex's father knew Stanley, and he was a very generous man, especially at Christmas, when he'd send his friends crates of the very best wine!
Tom gets 5ft7.75.
Ian C. said on 15/Dec/19
In Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut, no attempt was made to make Cruise seem taller. He walks around in a forest of women, all of whom are taller than he is (at least in heels). Since Kubrick was famously conscious of every detail in his movies, this must have been deliberate. (Also the incomprehensible plot. Movies that can't be understood from the exposition given in them, like 2001 or The Shining, are something of a Kubrickian practical joke.)

Rob I watched your video on Cruise and though it was done with humour mostly it is interesting how when things start to get said about somebody then everybody just rocks with it it’s actually quite dangerous. I’m glad Tom seems to be quite a confident guy.
And on the YouTube videos Rob, I think you should do more videos like that, you have an amazing personality, your humour is amazing. The height videos of single celebrities with the music are a bit simplistic and old fashioned in my opinion. You have a lot to offer, more than you maybe know ;)
Editor Rob
I did try to add a bit of humour to the topic of Tom 😉 I still think the media are a bit unfair on his height at times. 5ft 5-6 is insane for him.
in 2018 I only put up 2 videos on youtube, but starting in January this year I wanted to experiment with a few different types. 30 second height chart videos were a replacement for the mugshot 'mouseover' option on this site, because it is easier to make mugcharts appear behind subjects when doing it in short clip format.
I do plan one more longer video (about Sly) this month, but for 2020, we'll see!
Here is a
Link for anybody who hasn't watched my Tom video.
Oh, and another more recent one about

Looking at Penelope next to Woody Allen and Scarlett Johansson on Google it would suggest 5' and 5'6 are both unrealistic heights for her. You can't see her heel, but 5'3/5'4 would be a better guess. She looks 5 inches shorter than Cruise, so 5'3 woud be in line with the average guess for Cruise on this site.

I think the highest arguable height for him is 5'8. In good footwear he can pass as a 5'9 guy.
It's fair to say he's been a lift wearer through his career, but never to Stallone/

Cruise can certainly seem a little height conscious for sure and filmmakers play to that to make him seem more like 5'9", which is how he refers to himself, than his actual height, though he has not been caught in as flagrant lifts as the similar heighted Robert Downey Jr.
Paddy73 said on 22/Oct/19
There always seems to be a fixation with Tom Cruise height doesn’t there (that’s why we are here after all! ) .. they defo seem to use some kind of trickery in some of his movies, often depending on who he is co starring alongside. I watched the film ‘ American made’ the other day and because Cruise is often in scenes alone or far away from the other actors he seemed to be a 5.7 sort of height range. The giveaway is his proportions . Can use special shoes as much as poss but... can never hide the fact you have short arms .. torso etc . If indeed short. I know as am also about 5.7 !. What I am wondering though is at pushing 60 years old .. do you not think Tom Cruise May be experiencing some shrinkage by now Rob? Or indeed is he going to get away with it somewhat because he generally stays extremely fit and the same weight throughout the years. The guy doesn’t look like he’s put on more than half a stone since Top Gun in 1986 despite the lifts and heels.
Editor Rob
A mid 50s guy might not have lost height...but, with the amount of work and physicality Tom puts into his roles a small fraction isn't impossible now.

Tom's shoes are looking classic next to Pablo?!First = they are looking very high shoes then possibility to insert an internal heel....(The particularity of good elevator shoes is= as discreet as possible....)The stadiometer that measured Pablo Moto's 166.5 cm is maybe the same type of stadiometer that measured Arnold 188 .....Rob listed him 164,5 =clearly under the measure of the stadiometer....(read Rob's comment about the stadiometer in Pablo's page...)And 164.5 is maybe even a bit generous for him...second = The guy who measured Pablo with his fingers = logically the measure that you have to read is the measure just under the fingers not over the fingers =

Rising174cm said on 7/Oct/19
Michael Douglas is closer to the camera, it's not a good angle and we can't see their feet. I'm 100% sure James Corden is taller than Douglas these days because Douglas can look only 5'7" himself at 74-75, but if you see this recent appearance on Corden's show, Douglas looks to be wearing lifts:
Click Here
Also, there's no indication Corden was tip-toeing with Anderson and is in fact leaning/slouching himself more than Anderson. Either way, Corden doesn't look under 172 cm there and standing straight, he's much more likely 173 range.
As for Tom, he's always clearly been around 5'7.5". He's shorter than true 5'8" guys like Sean Penn, James Corden,
Zac Efron and Jeremy Renner, but clearly taller than 5'7" flat guys like Michael Pena and pretty much identical in height to 5'7.5" peak Steven Spielberg as well as about the same height as 171 cm guys like Jerry Bruckheimer and Lewis Hamilton, though definitely not taller than Hamilton. Of course, Tom wears lifts most of the time and when he does, he can look more like 5'8.5".

The pics of Parker are pics with Tom very probably wearing lifts(I posted recently in Leonardo's page here comparisons with -imo- good pics that show me Leonardo is max 5"10') .In my comparison We have a pic with the whole bodies of Rob/Samuel Anderson and the whole bodies Samuel Anderson/James Corden very close one to the other one.And we have finally James Corden and Tom close one to the other one.

Man in Black said on 11/Sep/19
I think the listing is spot on, although I think it's probably morning height/peak height. When you're a strong 5'7.5" you only have to add 2.2 inches to your footwear to look a weak 5'10" perceptibly. In movies you can trick that even more as we know. In his earlier movies I dont think he had to wear anything apart from a thicker heel. On red carpets Cruises girlfriends have all been at least 5'9 which is tall for a girl, and doesn't help his cause, and that's where where the elevator shoes come into play.

Imo the comparisons i posted on 24 August are more indicative of the real height of James Corden = Samuel Anderson is not standing in an advantageous posture in the pic next to James,Rob is standing in a poorer posture than Samuel in the pic ...but the differences of heights are the same...Then logically by considering the postures,James is clearly shorter than Rob imo

He's 5-7.
I can believe 5-6 3/4 at an absolute low at night
Bradley said on 31/Jul/19
The wolfer is wrong, he's been as listed or 5-8 for decades. The press won't ask his height or his management would 86 them next time...like Scientology questions.
mande2013 said on 31/Jul/19
@Wolfman: I believe you. I'm also short: less than an inch taller than you are. I've also seen Vincent Cassel in person, ran into him by an ATM machine in Paris. I swear he's only average height. Nothing like the 6'1+ Rob has him at. Actress heights tend to be less inflated I think. I've crossed paths with Sophie Marceau, as well, and she seemed Rob's listing more or less. I've seen Tom Cruise in person, but I was a small kid at the time so couldn't really judge, although even then, I could make out he was shorter than average.
Wolfman said on 27/Jul/19
Go with two guys who had no stake in the game: Bill Goldman and Gore Vidal. They both spent years in H'wood writing screenplays and both remarked constantly about the shocking shortness of male movie stars. (Read Vidal's seven-novel US history cycle and in the latter four books he spends a lot of page time on this, with fictional movie settings and fictional stars discussing this phenomenon.) … I grew up next door to a guy who went on to spend ten seasons in the NBA, about half that in Sacramento and Oakland. The first party I went to with him, in L.A., was in 1994. Cruise was there. I'm short: 5-feet-5 and one-half inches, barefoot. Cruise was maybe an inch taller than me. Eddie Murphy was there, too; also a very short guy, just slightly taller than Cruise. In New York one night we got on an elevator and there was Bruce Willis. Smaller frame than I imagined, thinner through the shoulders, and a big head. Didn't look six feet tall. My NBA buddy is 6-feet-9, and his brother is a legit 5-11, played tailback at Syracuse. Willis was not as tall as the brother, who was there with us. … Unless these actors were former athletes, like Dwayne Johnson, they're almost always tiny people.

Danimal 5'9 3/4" said on 21/Jul/19
I've said it dozens of times in the past and I'll say it again, I had a magazine in the late 80's, that had an article on celebrities TRUE heights and they had Tom Cruise at 5'6 3/4". That is what Tom WAS 30 years ago. He's probably around 5'6" today, barefoot.

💝😁🎁🎂 Happy Birthday Tom! 🎂🎁😁💝
Yes, it's one of our biggest film star's Birthdays today; it happens to be that of Tom Cruise. Today, our boy turns 57, and still looks the bee's knees! 🐝
My favourite films of his are 'Rain Man' and the Christmassy movie 'Eyes Wide Shut', in which he stars with his one-time wife, Nicole Kidman. It opens with the married couple getting stoned on cannabis, and Nicole becoming well and truly spiteful, verbally, which is so often the worst kind. Tom puts on a fine performance as a deeply hurt man, and his actions thereafter endanger his very life. That scene in which all the conglomerates are in a circle - in masks - is really frightening and mysterious. They are REVOLTING masks, but I find Tom's to be quite amusing!
Of course, when people are in a circle, opportunities abound to make height comparisons, but this film stars lots of women too - beautiful, model-type girls, who seem on the tall side, so Tom still looks rather below average, but nothing outrageous, by any means. I'd say Tom looked around 5ft7.5 in this.
As for 'Rain Man', this film was truly a one-of-a-kind. It was the first movie to go into detail with the subject of autism, and though there have been others since, and perfectly good ones, nobody dealt with the subject quite as well as Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise. Both actors are below average, Dustin being shorter than Tom, but they made for a realistic-looking couple of brothers, height-wise, some two decades or so apart in age.
The latter of the films I described, 'Eyes Wide Shut', was the last film to be made by Stanley Kubrick.
Have a great Birthday Tom!

@Pierre,
5'9 in footwear is what I put for Cryer, so yes we agree again. 5'8.5 barefoot, 5'9 range in footwear.
Pierre said on 1/Jul/19
0Parker = Jon Cryer has no pics with Rob or Josh and is listed 5"8.5' here not 5"9'(36 votes are giving him easily more 5"8'than 5"9'),and Mimi is not the left girl in little heels but the girl next to her in massive heels in your pic.In all the pics Mimi /Milo, Milo is always easily taller than her and you can see in the complete vue i posted
Click Here Milo's legs are not perfectly straight too and even his neck isn't straight...And she's closer to the camera...I don't talk about the angle of the pic that is in favor of Mimi(see the angle of the wall behind them)She's never looking like Rob next to Milo if both are standing straight,she's never 5"8' range

Hmm so 5'8" Mimi Rogers is same height roughly as Cruise who would have thought. I will eat my hat if that producer is really 5'7", she is at least 5'9.5" in heels there and he is an inch taller. Noway under 5'10" in shoes, lowest I would guess him is 5'9".

You wouldn't be able to tell who was taller if they stood next to one another. I would bet on Tom though, that people believe 5'9" for Bieber is just a joke. His gf is 5'6" and he isn't even 2 inches taller.
Tom would destroy him in a fight, doesn't say much my grnadmother would destroy Bieber.

So, Justin Bieber jokingly challenged Tom Cruise to an MMA fight on Twitter:
Click Here
But that's not what interested me. As you can see, someone came up with an estimated Tale-of-the-Tape. If you read the the comments, it's not the ridiculous 5'9" Bieber estimate that keeps getting brought up, but the 5'7" listing for Cruise. It was just interesting that all these years later how much of the public has bought into the propaganda of Tom Cruise as being unusually short. I'm of the mind that he's closer to 5'7" than 5'8", but it was funny how much taller the general public thought Bieber was than Cruise, when we have Cruise taller (barely) than Bieber here. lol

I can't understand all this consensus about Tom Cruise being little. Family Guy makes fun of him all the time making him seem like he's as tall as a little kid, when that's not true at all. If anything, I'd call Tom weak average but certainly not short, not anywhere close to that in fact.
-----------------
There are people who even say he is 5'4"-5'5" and they are being serious. Josh Hutcherson or Daniel Radcliffe in particular who is 5'4.5" and believes Cruise is little...not realising that Cruise would be towering over him.
Cruise just has been saddled with that image partly because of his marriage to Kidman a legit 5'10 ranger and Holmes a 5'9" range woman. Those are tall women and they also wore heels so ofc a guy under average would look short.
Pierre said on 20/May/19
@Bobby = I personnally just try to guess his real height here nothing more than that,you can see generally in my comments i explain why i guess x or y height.But if you're not ok with my guess and you guess Tom is even 5"11' it's your right and i have personally no problems with that.

Jay Ong said on 4/May/19
@Pierre = Yes it will be very hard to judge ones person's height with footwear because even if he was only wearing vans or chuck taylor converse shoes which only gives us 0.5 to 0.6 inch additional height, we can still put lifts inside of it. Like mine, when i wear vans shoes I can put a lift inside like folded socks which will give me instant 0.5 to 0.75 additonal boost aside from vans itself. But, I see a photo of Tom Cruise with Katie Holmes barefoot at the boat in Sydney. I see no more than 1.5 to 1.75 inch difference. Katie at 5'9". Making Tom at 5'7 1/4" at worst.
Pierre said on 2/May/19
@Ong = Of course it will be hard to post a pic with Tom 5"6' because you probably know very well he wear lots of times advantageous shoes.His partner in Top Gun gave an interview inwhich she said Tom was wearing lifts in the scenes next to her,i think it's very easy to try this interview in web.I posted recently my guess with pics of Sean Penn next to others celebrities and next to Tom...Show me your pics now if you want.
Parker said on 2/May/19

There is a big probability he's max 5"6'
Its all about opinions Pierre - IMO its a zero chance he's max 5'6. He is minimum 5'7, Max 5'8, again IMO.
Jay Ong said on 2/May/19
@Pierre = Sean Penn is at 5'8". Cruise is atleast 5'7". Also, difference between them is half inch to 3/4 inch. I don't see a full inch difference. That makes Tom a 5'7.25" to 5'7.5". Can you please post a photo that can support your 5'6" claim on Cruise?
Pierre said on 1/May/19
@Jay =Why not chance?Next to some Guys Sean Penn looks max 5"7' and Tom looks a little bit shorter than Sean...Do the maths again...There is a big probability he's max 5"6'
Jay Ong said on 29/Apr/19
@Pierre = Weak 5'6" for Cruise??? Not chance. You state that meaning he could be around 5'5.5" to 5'5.75" and there's no way he is that short. He is a minimum 5'7" and worst is at 5'6.75" and that will only happen to him if he had a bad day. Meaning less sleep and restless days. Tom Cruise is really a 5'7" guy. In a reality he's 5'7.25" now as before he is 5'7.5".

@Pierre = What would you guess Tom Cruise height? Honestly for me 5'7" is the smallest he can APPEAR in the public and highest would be 5'7 1/2". Depending on the situation. Good sleep 5'7 1/2" bad sleep would be 5'7" to 5'7 1/4".

I think Rob has pinned TC right on. My mistake on my previous post. Everyone please google "Tom Cruise and Mimi Rogers pictures" and you will see it in getty image page a lot of pictures of them together. I see TC's peak height at 5'7 1/2" next to 5'8" Mimi Rogers. As for now, Tom mis at 5'7 1/4" since he lost a quarter of inch during his stunt works in his action films.
Conclusion: peak height: 5'7 1/2"
current height: 5'7 1/4"

Ian C. said on 13/Apr/19
How could it have been possible that Tom Cruise was cast as Jack Reacher? The Reacher of the novels is six foot five and heroically strong, and Reacher's size and strength often figure in the plots, so casting Cruise as Reacher was essentially a rebuke to the fans of the books.
Casting Cruise as Reacher would be like, I dunno, casting Gary Oldman as Dracula, or Julie Andrews as Mary Poppins. You take a beloved character from a series of popular books and cast someone completely physically inapt as the character.
Ricky muliawan hansyar said on 12/Apr/19
172 cm is best fit for him

Tom was about 5 feet 7 inches when younger but is now probably 5 feet 6. That makes him roughly the same height as 'the short Beatle' Ringo.

Click Here .I have watch another time the first video and i think the difference between Guy Montagné and Christophe Dechavanne is at least 2.5 inches=imo the guy without hairs has a strong head and forehead and lots of time slouch a little bit to talk to the other guy.
Pierre said on 9/Apr/19
Yes Tom is taller than Dustin in Rain Man but watch that =
Click Here =at around 3:06 and 3:20 = i think the left guy without hairs(Guy Montagné) is 2 or 2.5 inches taller than the right man(Christophe Dechavanne).I know approximately the height of the left guy because i was standing next to him in a supermarket one time.I'm around 5"11.25' during the day and i'm around one forehead taller than him.He's listed 172 in France(around 5"7.75')and then i think this list is good.Now the right guy next to Dustin(Dustin wear comfortable heels imo,watch them at around 2:58) =
Click Here =they are standing in around the same posture at around 3:43 /3:46

His peak height can be even 5'11" but in fact he is almost 5'8", he can peak 3 inches for sure

Just watching Rain Man as I type this. Cruise is at best 1 inch taller than Hoffman in most scenes
I felt it was at least 2 inches as in dance scene below - The escalator scene 3-4 inches

Just watching Rain Man as I type this. Cruise is at best 1 inch taller than Hoffman in most scenes, both wearing standard dress shoes. Hoffmans posture is slightly slumped as well. In the famous coming down the elevator shot though, Cruise is probably wearing a slightly more generous heel.
Jay Ong said on 5/Apr/19
Rob,
There's no way Tom is 5'7 3/4". In lifts or elevator shoes he only appears at 5'9 1/2" to 5'9 3/4" max. He never appear looking 5'10". Fact, without lifts or elevator shoes he is only 5'7" to 5'7 1/4" max barefeet. Just compare him to Lewis Hamilton and
Zac Efron, he never appears taller to both of them even with boost.
Jay Ong said on 5/Apr/19
Hi Rob,
Is Lewis Hamilton really a 5'7 1/2" guy? If that's so then Tom must be really 5'7" flat. Whatever Hamilton's is Cruise is 1/2 inch shorter. Unless Lewis Hamilton has more lifts than Tom. But in comparison to
Zac Efron, Cruise look 5'7 1/2". What's your thought on this Rob? For me I see Tom Cruise a strong 5'7" guy to 5'7 1/4" max.
Editor Rob
I don't know if the road they were on gave either favour, but we know lewis did come in around that range for a measurement - of course it could have been 172cm, a height he has looked too...whether he wears lifts, or just has great posture is debatable.
Ricky muliawan hansyar said on 4/Apr/19
I'm sure average height (General) for man is 5ft7.5-7.75 inch (not 5ft8 inch) .Hollywood superstar Tom cruise,teen idol Justin bieber, Bollywood superstar shah rukh khan, top singer from england zayn malik and popular host Ryan seacrest is Good example for 5ft7+ range guys.this sample is come from different country superstar

Both cruise and Hammond are 5'7" tom wears lifts to reach 5'9" 5'10" and up to 6ft
Ricky muliawan hansyar said on 2/Apr/19
I think at low condition he is 171.5 cm, wake up in the morning he is 173.5-174cm range and then in normal condition he is 172-3 cm range. That's my opinion,so 172 cm is perfect list for Holywood Superstar Mr Tom cruise.tq

I still think 5'7.5" is a possibility but no way he is less than that.
cmillzz said on 24/Mar/19
@TheBat, even if he was weak 5’8, that wouldn’t be considered short compared to the average American. “Short” would be like 5’6 or 5’5.
TheBat said on 23/Mar/19
Yeah this listing seems right. He's short but not tiny like Daniel Radcliffe or Jerry Ferrara.

As listed today and back in the day. The G had this right. G approved. I saw it myself.
billionaireslayer said on 18/Mar/19
5'6 he was shorter than Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men, with Jack having 25yrs on him, and Jack maybe being a strong 5'7 or very weak 5'8 in his prime. Did not look much taller than a 5'4ish Dustin Hoffman.
cmillzz said on 16/Mar/19
Without his lifts, he’s 5’7 flat at most.
Paul Wood said on 14/Mar/19
I've always thought he's not 172cm. I think he's 171.5cm (5ft 7.5in)
Mister lennon said on 14/Mar/19
I still think 173 mnimum.
Man in Black said on 13/Mar/19
I was watching The Color of Money last night. Obviously Cruise was a young guy in that, but interesting to see. In the scene where Newman visits Cruise at his job, Cruise's footwear is decently visable, a kind of cuban chelsea boot with a strong 2" heel. In this scene he's probably got about a half inch on Newman, but Newman is slouching by comparison and a much older man at this stage in his career. Newman is wearing more normal looking footwear though.
JD 5'9" said on 13/Mar/19
Does he always wear lifts. He seems to edge out Simon Pegg who I don't think is under 5'8". I guess he's a strong 5'7" guy without lifts.

In Jerry MaGuire he does look his "shortest".
Parker said on 18/Feb/19
Long time posters have all seen the barefoot pictures often posted here of Katie & Tom together, In my opinion, there is not more than 1 inch between them in Katie's favour, so that puts Tom in the 5'7-5'8 range. Split the difference and go for 5'7.5. Explains why he can look 5'9+ in footwear.

mande2013 said on 14/Feb/19
I'm not a massive fan. In any case, I could certainly believe he's potentially like 5'6.75 barefoot or something, but I seriously doubt he's anywhere near as low as 167.
Pablis96 said on 13/Feb/19
Personally I think he can be a little below 170 so something between 167 and 169.I truly belive that.He is using constantly different kinds of elevator shoes from more discreet to elevators with huge input.Without all this height miracles he is a little bit below 170 for sure :) by the way ,great actor ,icone of Hollywood :)

Click Here = Imo 5"8' 3/4 for Katie Holmes is debatable = here next to Patrick Stewart listed 5"8'(At Patrick Stewart page 31 votes are giving him 5"7.9') they are looking on the same step/posture and she looks at most the same height as Patrick imo(by considering hairs of course).
Click Here .Here their shoes= Patrick has classic heels and Katie slimer heels but Patrick has not a big advantage on her imo(in the last pic she's clearly closer to the camera ).At Patrick Stewart page 31 votes are giving him 5"7.9'.By this comparison with Patrick Stewart i would guess Katie holmes more 5"8' or weak 5"8'.
Peter175 said on 28/Jan/19
Tom at flat 5'7 doesn't make sense.
This guy is every bit a weak 5'8 now that I've seen his older films where I know for a fact he didn't have lifts
ArjunaKorale said on 26/Jan/19
Tom is the MOST DYNAMIC ACTOR of our generation. People can criticise his personal beliefs as much as they like but when his time is ‘up’ & he is gone from cinema, people will realise what they have lost. However, I don’t believe that he is a tall (or even average height) American man. I know your site lists him as almost 5 ft 8 but I care to disagree with that. I think 5 ft 7.5 inches (closer to 171 cm) tall for Tom is an ever so slightly more accurate estimate!
Rising - 174 cm said on 9/Jan/19
@Parker: In fairness, they seem like they could be a bit thicker than 1" even without lifts. I'd say 1.2" range is pretty likely, but that extra fraction is a wash since Rob still lists Katie at a full 5'9" as opposed to 5'8.75". I see more 3" difference in the pic, though, but you can't tell from that angle how big Katie's heels are. If you ask me -- and admittedly no one did -- they look like possible 3" heels from the back:
Click Here They're also not completely flat in the front making 3" all the more plausible. but I don't see more than a 2.5" difference in this pic from the same event:
Click Here It was getting rare for Tom to appear without some sort of lifts or elevators by 2011, but the boot itself looks pretty normal from that last side angle.
Parker said on 8/Jan/19
Lawson said on 7/Jan/19
5'8 3/4" katie with 2.5" heels = a 5'11.25" Katie in the pic above. Cruise is 2.5" shorter in that pic above beside her. So Cruise is standing 5'8.3/4" with 1. 3/4" (lift shoes)/heels. Cruz is 5'7-5'7.25" tops when barefoot and Katie is 5'8 3/4" barefoot. Do we really need to carry on the argument with that pic above ? I don't think so.
The argument would be the shoes only look standard 1 inch - How do you know they give 1.75"?
Timson said on 26/Dec/18
5-7.5 max. Probably under
Rising - 174 cm said on 16/Dec/18
I haven't seen enough myself to agree with Rob and MJKoP that Cruise edged Spielberg without shoes. I couldn't find any on set pic fitting MJKoP's description, but the Minority Report Berlin premiere is a bit tough for me to overlook because there's a series of pics that day and Cruise is dropping some height in the full pics, but looks half an inch shorter so is Cruise really dropping more than half an inch? Also, the pics with Clinton aren't perfect, but I don't get the impression Cruise was taller there either:
Click Here Click Here I get why some will give the edge to Cruise, though. He has looked taller than Spielberg more often than vice versa, but that could be Tom's shoes and posture. With that said, I wouldn't be surprised if Spielberg was 172 cm peak either. I still have Tom more like 171.5, but I'd be less surprised if Tom was a full 172 than a flat 171. He's not a particularly short guy, but his footwear makes him tricky.
@Junior: I don't see how Cruise could be a flat 5'7" if Jamie Foxx is 5'9.5" minimum because Foxx has never looked a full 2" taller than Cruise, much less 2.5".
Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Here's shots of their shoes from the side:
Click Here Click Here Click Here Tom's shoes look pretty normal that night, imo. He has often worn 5-6 cm elevators the last decade as you say(more 5 cm the last few years), but he can pass for a 174, even 175 cm guy at times and has looked like he'd measure 176-177 cm in them making him 171-172 range barefoot.
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 13/Dec/18

You wouldn't be surprised at that. There will come a time when Tom falls to 5ft 7 and under and the argument will be that he never was above it.
michael loughrie said on 6/Dec/18
Good listing!
NewFace said on 28/Nov/18
I am not sure he's as tall as 172cm. The reason being I always thought he looked pretty small in one of his first movies, Risky Business. There was another small actor I can't remember the name of in it that didn't even seem much shorter at all in comparison.
Secondly, even in converse it is very viable to be 6cm taller quite easily if you stick some decent lifts in the high tops. This would mean he would easily clear 178cm in his lifts. Does he ever look that tall? With hair this would mean he would look comparable to some 5'10" or 5'11" guys lacking in the bonce department with his decent posture.
178cm might be a limit though in normal looking footwear for 172cm, but it would be very easy to achieve in almost any sort of footwear. It gets increasingly harder to walk after that. I'm sure Rob can also easily get to 179cm quite comfortably but will have problems walking when he gets to 180cm....

Michael, 5'10" 178 cm said on 26/Nov/18
He can’t be as tall as 5’8” in real life. Tom almost always looks short in movies he stars in. He only looks taller in the Mission Impossible films because he wears lift and because they use special camera angles to give the illusion of him being taller. Tom can’t possibly be taller than 5’7”, why could I say this? Well, if he was as tall as 5’8”, then the media wouldn’t be calling him short and they wouldn’t be listing him as 5’7” on every website instead of 5’8”. He looks more than an inch shorter than Jeremy Renner who is listed as 5’8 1/4” on here and just look at how comically short he is compared to his ex-wives Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes who are 5’10 1/2” and 5’9” respectively. Yeah, so I’m not buying into the fact that Tom can be that close to 5’8”. He is 5’7” flat imo.

MJKoP said on 13/Nov/18
There was as full-bodied picture from the set of War of the Worlds where Tom was more than just slightly taller than Steven. Glenn(yeah, I know) even described Cruise as "towering" Spielberg. Perhaps uneven terrain? Can someone possibly find it???
MJKoP said on 13/Nov/18
I'd give Cruise a slightly higher peak height than Spielberg. Rob described him as "marginally taller"(as reflected in his listings) and I agree with such an assessment.
Rising - 174 cm said on 10/Nov/18
@Greg99: Rob has Spielberg 5'7.5" peak. The 5'7" is his estimate for his current height. Tom only looks slightly shorter in some pics, but can also look slightly taller. It probably depends on shoes, posture and angle, but the fact that neither ever seems to look more than a little taller than the other tells me they're very close to the same height. I'd give both 5'7.5" peak and Cruise is probably still that tall while Spielberg is likely 5'7" max now at over 70.

Everyone now agrees that Tom is around 5'7", the added 3/4 is very solid.
savfdfff said on 26/Oct/18
idk. Could have been a weak 172 cm at peak. I would say he is around 171 these days if that.
Anonynon said on 18/Oct/18
I find it funny as hell how google has Tom Cruise at 5'7", and you also have Bow Wow at 5'7". No wonder everyone thinks 5'7" is short. If his height is actually what is listed here, Cruise is definitely not what I'd call short, just below average. Everyone takes a shot at Cruise for being so short which is stupid. I think it's just a case of Cruise constantly taking pictures with women taller than him (with heels) which makes him look short.
HonestSlovene said on 12/Oct/18
172 cm peak and strong 171 cm now.
Editor Rob
He still holds up well in films, look at Never Go Back (well, don't look too much...it's not that good) but with a guy like Aldis Hodge or Cobie Smulders, he just doesn't look a short guy.
Rising - 174 cm said on 6/Oct/18
I don't believe Cruise is taller than Downey, but they could be the same height. @Pierre: Glad we agree on that. That event is one of the best for determining Tom's real height. Aside from Katie, I think there might be a few decent pics to compare Tom to McConaughey and Stiller. His shoes often looked pretty normal promoting Lions for Lambs too, but he may have worn small lifts then.
