5'9.9 ??? I read the average was 5'9.2.

When woman wear heels nobody complains but when a guy wears lifts people do nothing but complain. Talk about double standard. Midget says on 2/Jul/09
Funny pic Anonymous. Katie makes Ton look like Papa Smurf there, although she is much closer to the camera and wearing very tall heels. Haze says on 2/Jul/09
toms 5'7.5 at best. i just cant see anything over that for him. he was looking taller than glenn (who probably forgot his portmans) but not by much. the shredder says on 2/Jul/09
I think Tom is not a strong 5'8 like Rob , but I do think he is 5'8 , 5'6.5 is a joke , he is not as short as people think , could he ? Ahleks says on 2/Jul/09
Two and a half inches taller than Hoffman?
I don't think so.

More like 1/1.5 Brad says on 1/Jul/09
Getting owned by Tom just bothered G. It was an inch easy with a 1/2" advantage in the footwear dept. with the Portmans. Parker is correct. MD says on 1/Jul/09
In 1988, when he said his weight, derek, could have very much been the truth, then. He was quite thin when he first came on the scene. Ali says on 1/Jul/09
Unbelievable, Tom Cruis is listed at almost 173cm!
This guy is 170cm max and very likely shorter. 5'6.5
or so. TELLEM says on 1/Jul/09
more like 5'7.5 next to 5'6 ben stiller. thats not 5'8. he isn't 5'8. hes 5'7.5 Metric says on 1/Jul/09
Shawn - true. Glenn was probably in his Portmans. Lol Metric says on 1/Jul/09
Parker - Fox is only 5-2. Parker says on 1/Jul/09
Metric - Go and look at the barefoot pic with his 5'9 wife, its been posted on many occasions. That should stop you scratching your head. Looks 5'8,looks 1.5 inches taller than Stiller, looks 2.5 inches taller than Hoffmann, looks 4 inches taller than Fox, 5'8. derek d says on 1/Jul/09
Metric you're right he does look quite thin in Risky Business (140 ish tops) His 5'9 claim is just plain stupid though, and if you're going to lie about your height then you might as well up your weight WAY up too so that it adds up.
If Cruise wasn't in lifts next to a 5'7 ish glenn then he's definitely on the high end of 5'7, but if cruise WAS in minor lifts then he should be no more than 5'7 flat. Shawn says on 1/Jul/09
He was more than 0.5 inch taller than Glenn. He was a solid inch taller. How big do you friggin people think an inch is? And we don't know Glenn's footwear either, but he likely was wearing boots. A 6'2" dude who I speak with at my gym met Tom ages ago (early 90s) back the the YMCA here in Toronto. He said around 5'8-5'9. Metric says on 1/Jul/09
derek d - When Cruise was younger I doubt he weighed much more than 125-130 lbs!??
Look at him in Risky Business.
He is tiny tiny! NO biceps, chest or shoulders!
Regarding his height:
It's a mystery to me why Cruise has not yet been downgraded following Glenns exposé!!???
He wasn't more than 0.5 inch taller than Glenn and we don't know his footwear. But he was probably in minor lifts??
5-7.75 for Cruise is pure fantasy.
Scratching my head... Me says on 1/Jul/09
I agree with derek d, at 5'9 147 he would look sickly thin !! I say at most he is 5'7.75 in. Nismofreak says on 30/Jun/09
Just seeing Tom Cruise, no way does he look anywhere near the 5'8 mark. I can't imagine him just being .25 inches smaller than editor Rob. I think he is a weak 5'7 flat.
PS - The average height of a male in the US, is 177.6 cm (5' 9.9"). Almost 5ft '10 inches... derek d says on 30/Jun/09
His "147 pounds - at 5 feet 9 inches" quote does not make sense. If this was true he woudld look very thin. Even at 5'7 ish which he probably is, at 147 lbs would look thinner than he has looked. My guess would be 5'7 - 5'7.75 at 155 lbs. Brad says on 30/Jun/09
Correct Shawn, G was "Ported" out and low cut Iron Maiden booty shoes with Tom on right. 5' 8" or as listed above. Shawn says on 29/Jun/09
Wrong Danimal. He's taller than Glenn, I'd bet my life on it. Even it's only by half an inch, I still say he's taller than Glenn. Bifrons says on 29/Jun/09
I saw him at a Krispy Kreme donuts with Penelope Cruz and Jay Leno in Burbank a few years back. Before he turned around, I thought he was a young boy. He didn't appear to be much taller than Penelope. I'm 5'10". He's quite a bit shorter than me. Danimal says on 28/Jun/09
5'6 3/4". RisingForce says on 28/Jun/09
I agree with Brad. 5'8" or just under. The lowest I'll buy is 5'7.5", don't forget the barefoot picture with Katie. If he's shorter than that then Ben Stiller isn't even 5'6". bam says on 27/Jun/09
parker that is wrong, but so is james. You'd have to look up the percentile for 5'11.5 That would tell you the percent of men at or shorter than 5'11.5. I think the percentile is in the sixties, however. Clay says on 27/Jun/09
The average height for a male in the US is 5'9 and a half. George says on 27/Jun/09
lol, are you guys still debating photos of this dude? he wears height enhancing footwear and lifts just like Pitt and Stallone therefore comparing him to other celebrities is not only useless but plain stupid as well. Cruise can look as tall as 5'11 but that's when he's packing 3-4'' lifts! pwned! Kevin says on 27/Jun/09
Last week, Conan O'Brien did a segment where he used a life size manakin of Tom Cruise. The manakin was noticably taller than 6'4 Conan so I would have to say Tom Cruise is around 6'5-6'6. So there! It's settled! Parker says on 27/Jun/09
James says on 26/Jun/09
Well, the average height for men is between 5'8 and a half to 5'11 and a half..the majority(90% ish) of the world's men are found in this range....
James - 5'8 is the 25th percentile
Click Here
Meaning 25% of the male population are that height or shorter - that leaves 75% taller than 5'8. Your 90% figure is well off - more like 50%. Clay says on 26/Jun/09
Shawn, maybe 5'8 in dress shoes. Barefoot nothing more than 5'7. DMaN says on 26/Jun/09
id say hes 5foot7.5 Shawn says on 26/Jun/09
Exactly. Glenn was most likely wearing boots, while Tom had on dress shoes, so footwear is still equal. Tom had a solid inch on Glenn. He's between 5'7.5"-5'8" barefoot. Brad says on 26/Jun/09
I'll tell lies to a 5' 10" blonde named Cheryl or Tabitha. He's 5' 8" or just a smidge under with the posture. He has PP "Pitt Posture". Stealth shoes. I don't know what they are, trainer cross with a low cut soft leather boot or somethin. James says on 26/Jun/09
Well, the average height for men is between 5'8 and a half to 5'11 and a half..the majority(90% ish) of the world's men are found in this range....Kate holmes is 5'9 and she is MOST definitely taller than him...that would make him 5'7, a hair shorter than my mother. Barry Langcaster says on 26/Jun/09
This guy is floating on cushions half the time that make him apear 5'9, his true height is in the 5'7 range for certain , as I said this guy is floating on large cushions of air in his shoes bouncing around and apearing taller. Lenad says on 25/Jun/09
172cm at most. In Risky business he was shorter than most other males. In some cases by quite a margin Shawn says on 25/Jun/09
Brad said he's 5'8. One thing I've noticed about Brad is he tells no lies. He was adament Glenn would be measured at under 5'7" way back. If Brad says Cruise is 5'8", I've gotta believe he is, or atleast damn near it. Rob has him right. RisingForce says on 25/Jun/09
I'd be surprised if Tom was more than 5'8" out of bed. Frank2 says on 25/Jun/09
"ACG says on 24/Jun/09
I think there's a chance Tom wakes at 5'9."
More likely he wakes up next to somebody who's 5'9". James says on 25/Jun/09
I think Tom on a good day wakes up at 173-174cm tops. Roger says on 25/Jun/09
ACG, why do you write such nonsense? Do you try to compete with Ali for most retarded celebheighter? ACG says on 24/Jun/09
I think there's a chance Tom wakes at 5'9. Ahleks says on 24/Jun/09
Linda says on 22/Jun/09
Tom is 5'7, im 5'7 and a half... Yeah im taller than a guy:)
You sure are taller than Glenn! leonari says on 24/Jun/09
Haze: He was owning Glenn? Owning? Not even a full inch is "owning" somebody now. You are joking right? They were very close. A full inch difference max!! Thats hardly "owning" my friend. leonari says on 24/Jun/09
kokoboy: you are so funny... Haze says on 24/Jun/09
how tall does acg think this guy is? 5'10? hey acg how can he be any taller? he wasnt taller than 5'6.5 glenn by much. get real. toms around 5'7.5 wich would explain why he was owning sub 5'7 glenn. but toms lifts dont fool me. they obviously got u confused though kokoboy says on 24/Jun/09
this picture shows he's near the 5'9 range Click Here CaptainSpaulding says on 24/Jun/09
Yea guys dont forget Tom wears massive lifts in all his movies and in public aswell. So whatever height he ever looks, you need to subtract an inch or 2.
This is why I cant believe some people think Toms 5'9", because hed possibly look 5'11" (above average) with his custom made elevator shoes but he usualy looks below average even with lifts. leonari says on 23/Jun/09
ACG: Please... Tom is 5'7.5". Stop this delusional behavior dude RisingForce says on 23/Jun/09
Banderas and Stallone aren't quite short. They're probably 5'9" ive or take. Pacino is 5'5", 5'6" and Williams is 5'6"-5'7" so they'd fall into that category, but not Banderas and Stallone who are average. James says on 23/Jun/09
Nichole is a weak 5'11 though John says on 23/Jun/09
Quite a few legendary actors are actually quite short:
Al Pacino, Antonio Bandares, Robin Williams, Sylvestor Stallone ACG says on 23/Jun/09
Linda says on 22/Jun/09
Tom is 5'7, im 5'7 and a half... Yeah im taller than a guy:)
If you're 5'7.5, then you ARE taller than A guy.....just not this one. derek d says on 22/Jun/09
James says on 22/Jun/09
Maybe Derek?
Yeah its possible, of course thats just my opinion I could be wrong. But considering he was starring with a 5'11 actress I don't see why he wouldn't of worn them. uk says on 22/Jun/09
yeah vibram the average use to be 5"8 i wish it was still that and not 5'9 for some reason. Linda says on 22/Jun/09
Tom is 5'7, im 5'7 and a half... Yeah im taller than a guy:) Vibram says on 22/Jun/09
Shawn, the 5ft7 stars of the 60 and 70s that were all leading, dominant men in blockbusters, never received mocking by the press. Examples: 5ft7 Richard Burton; 5ft7.5 Kirk Douglas. Both men were below the national average man in the 1960s which was 5ft8.5.
Height obviously didn't pay such an important role in the 60s cos those writers/editors/interviewers would of at least said/written demeaming material. The reason: more insecurity in mens mind these days to touch such subjects. Ahleks says on 22/Jun/09
He wore big lifts in Eyes Wide Shut. James says on 22/Jun/09
Maybe Derek? Clay says on 22/Jun/09
Ben Stiller is about 5'6.... if he's lucky. 5'9 for Cruise is beyond silly. Anonymous says on 22/Jun/09

Looked 5'9 in Eyes Wide Shut
Sure did. With lifts obviously. Dave in LA says on 21/Jun/09
Cruise is no more than 5'4'' in barefeet same height as my sister.
Height is unimportant in film, its all a sham regardless. People just like to believe they're real. 177cmmm says on 21/Jun/09

Vibram, Ewan McGregor isn't as big a star as Tom Cruise. Hell, very few people are. Tom's probably the most bankable star in Hollywood right now, and has been for the better part of 10 years now. A guy in that position is going to be ridiculed for his height, REGARDLESS of whether he's 5'7 or 5'8. So you're argument of him HAVING to be 5'7 because no true 5'8 man would be ridiculed for his height is complete and utter bull****. Ben Stiller, Al Pacino, Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, and many other stars are shorter than Cruise yet don't get anywhere near as many potshots for their lack of inches. Why? Because most of them are character actors/comic actors, not handsome leading men that can carry Blockbuster films like Cruise. Clay says on 20/Jun/09
Adam, Harris was trying to sound humble. Actors are unimportant ? LOL give me a break, celebs like Cruise control the world. Actors, famous actors are anything but unimportant. And by the way have you met Cruise ? No so why say he has the mind of a 12 year old, is it just pure jealousy on your part ? Anonymous says on 20/Jun/09
why even respond to ACG? he's a guy that can't even interpret glenn's height (with clear PHOTOGRAPHIC PROOF). McGregor is NOT 5'10.5", thats laughable adam says on 20/Jun/09
Like Richard Harris said "Actors ARE unimportant." And Remember that Harris himself wasnt that tall. Only an even six-footer.
Cruise is about 5-7 and has a mind of a 12-year old. Clay says on 19/Jun/09
Frank2, Give me a break. Everyone has nothing but nice things to say abour Cruise. He's nice to everyone, even the unimportant people. Vibram says on 19/Jun/09
ACG, McGregor is no way 5ft10.5 - only his agency lists that height. Do your detective work and compare him next to 5ft7, and close friend, Charley Boorman. Type "boorman mcgregor" into google images and see for yourself there's 1.5 inch difference at best.
McGregor has never been insulted by the media for being small because he DOESN"T LOOK IT; he looks medium and passes for 5ft10 easily.
Cruise does look a small man trying to be medium in most of his films, and on the red carpet, he tries too hard. He has short legs and sloped shoulders and is quite stocky. Even Bruce Lee (5ft7) looks taller than Cruise. It's all about proportions; compare say Jackie Chan (5ft9) to Johnny Depp (5ft9 as well).... Depp will always appear taller due to his higher shoulder height, longer legs and more gracile build. Dural says on 19/Jun/09
Hey ACG, at the beginning of his career his official height was 5'8.5". Rob lists him as 5'9.5". ACG says on 18/Jun/09
McGregor is 5'10.5!! Vibram says on 18/Jun/09
If he was 5ft8 (173cm) he wouldn't really look as short as he does, nor would the subject of his apparent "lack" of height be brought up as often as it does by the press. He is no more than 5ft7.25 (171cm) and most probably 170cm now being 46 next month. Stop being generous all of you.
Ewan McGregor is 5ft8.5 at best (174cm) yet he's never made fun of for being short at all, and he was a Jedi. Tommy says on 17/Jun/09
Sam it was Vibram who wrote 5ft9 are treated like they are diseased
i told him he was wrong Doug says on 17/Jun/09
5'7-5'9" guys get treated as if they are diseased? Weirdo. 40% of guys are in this range! sam says on 16/Jun/09
tommy your world view is messed up - 5'7 through 5'9 guys hardly get treated like their diseased!!! sometimes you might just be the shorter one in a group but I really don't think they're judging your character. that's rediculous. A-Bomb says on 16/Jun/09
Well Katie holmes is living in Melbourne over the next four months filming her next movie here. Tom is apparently going to be here with her a bit over that period. So I'm going to keep an eye out in the least stalkerish ways I can possibly think of ;)I'd be so surprised if we weren't near spot on in height (172cm). Time may yet reveal. 5 '7 dude says on 15/Jun/09
I doubt hes at that listed height...% 7 is just a couple inches shorter then average height, and Cruise never looks just a bit shorter - he looks a lot shorter..
I dont think I've ever seen him taller than any of his male co-stars , and he sometimes looks small to his female ones..Id reckon hes 5'5".. the shredder says on 15/Jun/09
I agree with Brad on Tom Cruise , he is much more 5'8 , heck even Rob said James Tolken thinks he is more 5'8 , sure he can be a little shorter but NO WAY 5'7 flat or shorter IMO ! Frank2 says on 15/Jun/09
"Is Tom Cruise a nice guy Frank2?"
I can't say from personal experience. All I know is what I've heard form people who've worked with him and that's he tends to be a prima donna and can sometimes act like a jerk. I thought the fact he was chauffeured around in a Porsche was somewhat odd. Haze says on 15/Jun/09
toms 5'7.5 give or take .25" in either direction. to me its obvious EEEEEE tommy says on 15/Jun/09
Vibram says on 12/Jun/09
Any guy of or under 5ft9 gets treated as though they're inadequate & diseased, so it doesn't matter if Cruise is 5ft7, 5ft8 or 5ft9, he's still considered an inferior heighted man. Why would a 5ft7 man go through the effort to make himself appear 1-2 inches taller? It must feel real bad if say your 5ft7 wear lifts to reach 5ft9 --which is still an inferior height-- then get home, take your shoes and lifts off and have to go through that horrible feeling of being 5ft7 in socks. I'm sure the latter process would cause more psychological damage than being 5ft7 and choosing normal footwear with no lifts would ever do.
i'm 175-176cm and nobody thinks i'm inferior everybody consider my height pretty normal even taller guys ,you know it's an average height
i can understand if you tell me you have problems if you are 5ft6 or under
but 5ft8 5ft9 5ft10 are all common heights if these heights are inferiors
most people are if you think like that Brad says on 14/Jun/09
At 5' 8" plus 2" stealth customs and military posture he blended in well with people when I met him. James says on 14/Jun/09
Is Tom Cruise a nice guy Frank2? Anonymous says on 14/Jun/09
exactly frank2 thats precisely what i said. How can someone who's supposedly 5'7.75" get so much crap for being 'short'? don't tell me because the media was out to get Tom freakin Cruise (pre-insane couch jumping scientology crap) who was then the biggest (no pun intended) movie star in the world? He's probably not 5'6", i think we can agree on that, but there is NO way he is this close to 5'8" barefoot. You are not thinking logically if you truly believe that hes essentially a 5'8" man Parker says on 14/Jun/09
I still think Cruise in my opinion is closer to 5'8 than 5'7, but definately closer to 5'7 than 5'9, but I wouldn't put my mortgage on it. My brother has been measured for a medical a smidge under 5'8, and I recently measured my 20 year old son using Rob's aerosol technique at a flat 5'7. When their together they look the exact same height - I wouldn't be able to tell which of them was closer to 5'8 without measuring.
If Cruise is a flat 5'7, then Rob would need to reduce Michael Penna's height listing by at least an inch

Click Here
Also need to reduce Ben Stiller's height listing by an inch or two
Click Here Caesar says on 13/Jun/09
Vibram, that's the dumbest thing I have ever read. About 40-50% of all American males are 5'9 or under, and you think they are all treated as if they are "inadequate and diseased"? That they would all develop psychological trauma? Wow. The reality is most people don't think about their height at all unless they go to the doctor's for a physical. Why would Tom Cruise feel inferior? He is one of the most famous actors of all time. He has a far better life than basically all of us who post here. Frank2 says on 13/Jun/09
"Excellent story Frank2. When you saw Cruise did he ever give the impression that he was 5'10"+ in his shoes or was he always shorter than 5'10"?"
He looked at least two inches shorter than me and I'm dead-on 5'11" so with shoes I'm about 6". His shoes looked really built up. I mean, he'd have given the Frankenstein monster's asphalt splitter's enhanced boots a run for their money. CaptainSpaulding says on 13/Jun/09
Im 5'9" myself and iv never been treated or felt inadequate Vibram lol, I feel pretty much average or barely under average when I go to crowded places like a mall. Plus people will believe me if I jokingly tell them im 5'10"-5'11".
And id say Tom Cruise is 5'7.25", and 5'8.25" in lifts Midget says on 12/Jun/09

Imagine him with Cruise 5 hours after the just under 5' 6.75" measurement coming in at a shade under 5' 6.5"? "Here I am with Tom Cruise, I'm 5' 8". Chimpanzee screaming laughter. Let him have his own site, just muzzle the chimapanzees reading it. Frank2 says on 12/Jun/09
The joke was on all who believed he was 5'8". TELLEM says on 12/Jun/09
ACG says on 12/Jun/09

Oh, and glenn at 5'6-5'7 is a joke.
How can it be? Glenn was measured at under 5-7. Frank2 says on 12/Jun/09
I saw Cruise when he was on the Fox lot making MINORITY REPORT. He wore huge lifts and was still shorter than me. He's no more than 5'7" barefoot. I'd put money on it. He's also the only guy I know who was chauffeured around in a Porsche Turbo Carrera. He and Spielberg had phony name plates on their parking spots as if that was so important. Spielberg drove a huge Lexus SUV, a gift for using Lexus in the film. I think he also got a free Lexus SC. Both men had an entourage of bodyguards while Rupert Murdoch, the owner of News Corp and Fox and a gazzilionaire, drove himself to and from work with no assistance. The only exception being right after 9/11 and it didn't take long for him to go back to driving himself. I had quite a lot of respect for him while working there.
But I sometimes wonder about celebrities. Many end up acting like spoiled kids. Donatello says on 12/Jun/09
Glenn was probably wearing boots in the pic with tom. I still think he is 5'7" 1/2 or maybe close to 5'8". Brad says on 12/Jun/09
Cruise isn't 5' 9". He isn't under 5' 8" or the Rob listing. You forgot to delete the 5' 6"-5' 7" in your follow-up, he is a joke, or was. Look at him with Jenny, that's your 5' 8" guy, it sure is scooter. ACG says on 12/Jun/09
Oh, and glenn at 5'6-5'7 is a joke. ACG says on 12/Jun/09
Hey Brad- do you think it's possible for Cruise to be 5'9? You seem positive that he isn't under 5'8, so at your 6'6 vantage point how can you tell the difference between 5'8 and 5'9??? Brad says on 11/Jun/09
One of the photos was pre '94, he's 5' 6" flat with Tom. bbfan2009 says on 11/Jun/09
This is another height that confused me, based on Glenn's pics. He was slightly taller than Glenn. Well Glenn is 5' 6.75" (aft) and hits as low as 5' 6.5", so add a bit on, and the 5' 7" claims for Cruise make sense.
BUT based on those pics, I think he's 5. 7.5". But who knows the footwear. 5' 7" legit could be true. Time of day also complicates things too. Haze says on 11/Jun/09
yea some people need to loosen up a lil in their estimations. i mean it would be nice if we were able to nail down a celeb within 1/8 of an inch of their true height. but the fact is we cant. i always thought tom was 5'7.5 and thats close enough to his listed height for me. the shredder says on 11/Jun/09
I agree , Tom is between Rob and Glenn's height , but I don't know why some of you guys are going ape Sh!t over him being 5'8 ! it is possible he is as tall as that , you guys are acting like people your claiming he is 6'2 or something ! Parker says on 11/Jun/09
Agreed Gago, I think Tom would fall between the height of Glenn and Rob,But Rob is a minimum 5'8.25, and could claim 5'8.5 in my opinion. The height Tom Cruise is listed is bang on...a smidge under 5'8. Brad says on 10/Jun/09
The Cruise-Glenn photos are tricky street poses,angle,tricky shoes and tricky dates (G is 5' 6" pre '94). TELLEM says on 10/Jun/09
rob at 5'8.25 would have 1 inch over tom cruise. Gago says on 10/Jun/09
Why is everything so complicated? People, who say Tom is 5'8 and 1.5 taller than Glenn, then you need to go and look Rob and Glenn photo, where is a legit 1.5 difference, so ask yourself, is it the same difference in the Glenn/Cruise photo. I bet with hair and posture advantage Tom will still be shorter than Rob, who is a strong 5'8. Brad says on 10/Jun/09
Portman to Cruise stealth. I've seen his stealths, they can't be as big as those things Glenn had on. Just add 1.5". He's not under the listed height above. Anything pre '94 he admits being "5' 7"" so 5' 6" is reality. Roger says on 10/Jun/09
Tom seemed to have a weak inch on Glenn in the photo with the suit on, in the other one difficult to judge as Glenn leaned slightly towards Tom.
Tom in a suit of course means suspicous shoes were very likely, but here's of course the problem - we don't know what Glenn wore. Had Glenn worn his "Portmans" on the more recent photo (I believe it was from 2004?), it would make the case for a weak 5'8'' as I can not imagine his lifts would give him more than the Portmans. So both photos are not worth that much for estimating. Let's not forget, the very first one was shot when Glenn was a potential 5'6'', as it was from 1992 I think.
Judging from what could be read on German newpapers, a series of very friendly articles on Tom (more like hymns, it was getting embarrassing. The reporter described Tom as some sort of Ueber-mensch) wrote he's 173 cm. More often, 170 cm or even 168 cm could be read.
I think 168 cm is not likely, he's never that short. But not more than 171 cm fresh out of bed for him. RisingForce says on 10/Jun/09
Oh I forgot Roger, you've measured these celebrities and you know for a fact that they aren't the heights we estimate them at. Parker says on 10/Jun/09
Well I agree with Brad, not on the Glenn photo, I didn't see more than an inch between them, but I do think he's close to 5'8. I've seen enough other pics of Tom to guess him at 5'8 or a tad under...exactly as Rob has him listed in fact.
Pavement and footwear factors come into play in the Glenn/Tom pics. Dylan says on 10/Jun/09
Leonari - Thank you. That clears up the Hirsch mystery for me. Brad, cannot say that Glenn is 5'6.5" in all his photographs on this site and still insist Cruise is 5'8". If Glenn is 5'6.5" in those photographs with Tom Cruise then Cruise is 5'7" maximum as ther is not more than 0.5" difference between them. Brad cannot have his cake and eat it. theo says on 9/Jun/09
tom 1 cm taller than glenn.. 171 cm or 172 cm min height for tom.. so mess about 1 cm gimme a break.. end of story.. xD Midget says on 9/Jun/09
I with Leonari,Roger and Rising- there wasn't more than 1" difference between Tom and Glenn in his pic. Tom surely isn't taller than 171cm barefoot as even with lifts the size of shoe boxes he would still struggle to crack 178cm-179cm in them. Look at him with Nicole in pics-she had flats, he had lifts and he was still a fraction shorter. Roger says on 9/Jun/09
Gotta agree here with what seems to be the majority - where were 1.5 inches to be found on those photos??? Strange that almost every regular poster here has his one "pet celeb" that he makes taller the he / she is. Rising has Sly, Brad Tom.
I saw an inch between Glenn and Tom at most. What did I and the others oversee, Brad? Mathew says on 9/Jun/09
Cruise wasn't as much as .75" taller than Glenn. leonari says on 9/Jun/09
Dylan: The Hirsch picture with Glenn is totally unreliable. Hirsch was in front by half a foot. That can distort the perception of height. Penn is taller than Glenn but has the worst posture ever. Cruise is probably a strong half inch taller than Glenn but not more. But there is no basis for Brads claim that tom was 1.5 inches taller. Thats just to keep up his strong belief that Tom is at least 5'8". I can't believe that Brad thinks there is only half inch btw. Stallone and Cruise. Incredible. Dylan says on 9/Jun/09
Brad - Leonari is right. There definately was not a 1.5" difference in height between Glenn and Cruise in those photographs, in fact I thought they looked exactly the same height even though Cruise was maintaining his upright posture and Glenn was leaning slightly. It is easy to say in hindsight that Cruise owns Glenn but he definately didn't in either of those two photographs. Okay, I don't know about their footwear but if Glenn were wearing portmans, I think we can safely assume Cruise was wearing lifts especially in the first photograph. What still confuses me is how Glenn can look the same size as Cruise and yet look hardly any taller than Hirsch who gets dwarfed by Sean Penn, yet Glenn insisted he looked down on Penn when he met him. Brad says on 9/Jun/09
At 5' 8" he owns Glenn by 1.5". Glenn isn't 5' 7.5" evening....he's 6 hours out from his crib and toys bro. 177cmmmm says on 9/Jun/09
who cares wther hes 5'5 5'6 5'7 or even 5'8
he still below average leonari says on 8/Jun/09
Brad: you saw 1.5 inches btw Glenn and Tom?? In those pics? Get real man. That wasn't even a full inch! Brad says on 8/Jun/09
He had a 5' 6.5" Glenn by 1.5". Portman to custom cancel out. Dig? Dylan says on 8/Jun/09
Sheila Tilert - If the person you met was 6'3" then it wasn't Tom Cruise. End of story. Ahleks says on 8/Jun/09

JerryA: Are you on drugs? do you know how little 0.25 inches are? Stop making a fool of yourself .Please RisingForce says on 8/Jun/09
OK Jerry, you say 5'7.25" is possible, but 5'7.5" is ridiculous? An inch is tough to notice, much less a quarter inch. Hahahah. Sheila Tilert says on 7/Jun/09
I met Cruise back in '87 and he was clearly 6'3". I am 5'10" myself and he towered over me. I do not know what you people saying he is 5'7" are talking about. He does not even need to use lifts in his shoes, he is that tall. Roger says on 7/Jun/09
I think if we try to remember how Tom was only very slightly taller than 5'7'' Glenn, and prob. wore lifts, anything above 5'7'' is highly unlikely. I think Brad has him wrong. mofo says on 7/Jun/09
Opinionated whers the respect this guy was maverick. I doubt he wore stilletos on set of top gun and he did'nt look has short has 5ft6. He looked more like 5ft9 (with lifts obviously) in that film and looks occasionly 5ft8 so i say 5ft7.5 on a good day.
btw 5ft4 thats hilliarious really funny guy you are (In more ways than one but still funny)!
But seriously wheres the damn respect for Top Gun hmmm!!!! the shredder says on 7/Jun/09
opinionated can't be less then a jackass ! he sound retarded ! JerryA says on 7/Jun/09
5'7.5??? RisingForce, I've never heard anything so ridiculous IN MY LIFE. I'm 5'6.75 and I've met Tom and we are exactly the same height. There is NO WAY that there was more that 0.5 inches difference between us which still means that the maximum his height can be is 5'7.25, which is a clear .25 off your guestimation, which seem to have no evidential basis!!!

Ed Zwick is 5'6''. Brad says on 5/Jun/09
Heavy on the insoles. Nigel says on 4/Jun/09
He wear TallerHeels type Height Increasing insoles, I thought everyoone knew that! burby says on 3/Jun/09
Slightly OT, but here's another Ed Zwick photo for reference. If Ed is really only 5ft 7, he never looks small(even though 5ft 7 isn't small) next to 5ft 11 people, and 5ft 7 women in heels. Click Here Wasim says on 3/Jun/09
David5'5 ,you're absolutely spot-on.Tom is standing on a slanted part of the ground,while Emilio Estevez on level ground.Just goes to show the ground you're standing on matters like hell. TELLEM says on 3/Jun/09
he's 5'7.5. end of. SHAUN says on 3/Jun/09
I'm 1.71m in the morning. 1.70m - afternoon. 1.69.4m - evening.
I would say that Cruise is around these heights.
What shoe size is Cruise?
I've read that he is US size 8. Parker says on 3/Jun/09
Its always going to be the case Shawn with people close in height. As I said to Tellem, the pics he posted with Foxx make Tom look closer to 5'7, but here's 2 where Tom looks taller
Click Here
Click Here
Here's another where he looks shorter, but close to 5'8.
Click Here
As I've said before, when I started posting on this site several years ago I was convinced Tom was a max 5'7 (as protrayed in the media, and listed at on most sites). I've seen enough pics now of him lifted and lifless with various celebrities to convince me Rob's listing is bang on. Yes, hes definately shorter than 5'9 listed guys such as Dural,Harris and Foxx. He's definately at least 1/1.5 inches taller than 5'6.5 listed Stiller and 5'7 listed Penna. He looks 4-5 inches taller than Michael J Fox, and 2.5/3 inches taller than Hoffman.
He looks very similar in height to Spielberg.
In summary,He's close to 5'8, and I believe would hit it straight out of bed. jack THE ripper says on 3/Jun/09
Hey guys I want to ask u does anyone know whether the statues at madame Tussauds in London are Accurate inb terms of heights. Because I went there and took a lot of pictures. I just wanna Know and compare. And yes I wil take into account the shoes and also the slight elevation tat some statues were placed at. burby says on 3/Jun/09
What I'm seeing from these pics:
Tom Cruise: 5ft7.5 to 5ft 7.75
Jaime Foxx: 5ft 9
Katie Holmes: 5ft 9
Edward Zwick: 5ft 7.5 (he's probably rounding down his height)
Jack Black: weak 5ft 6
Rober Duvall: 5ft 9.25
Ben Stiller: 5ft 6.5
Matt McConaughey: 5ft 10.5
Robert Downey Jr: Lifts
Michael Mann: weak 5ft 8 (if he stood up straight)
Ludacris: weak 5ft 8 derek d says on 2/Jun/09
Jay says on 2/Jun/09
@derek
I've seen Kidman up close. She was wearing beach shoes (the ones that look like converse but aren't). She was around 5ft 9.
I respect your judgment but I don't see how it could be right. I don't think I've ever heard anyone estimate her under 5'10. Check out this barefoot picture of her with Keith Urban who is listed here at 5'8.5 (who claims 5'9). He is wearing shoes so he must be close to 5'9.5 and Kidman looks a solid 2 inches taller than him barefoot.
Click Here David5'5 says on 2/Jun/09
Hi all! Greetings from Spain. I think Tom Cruise is about 5'7. Really no more.

shawn, in your pic, which is far worse than mine, shows tom cruise next to the camera and luda farther away which of course will make tom taller. Roger says on 2/Jun/09
Michael is listed as taller - big mistake. Mann is 5'7'' tops, there were countless shots from the "Collateral" premiere in which he was shorter than Tom.
But are there really some people out there who still believe the 5'9''? Shawn says on 2/Jun/09
TELLEM, the Ludacris pic proves nothing. Here's another pic from that EXACT same encounter which has Cruise looking the taller of the two.
Click Here Parker says on 2/Jun/09
Agreed Tellem - def looks shorter than Foxx in those pics. Michael Mann is listed taller than Cruise on this site, but doesn't look it in the pics. If Foxx is 5'9, and there are no lifts involved, the pics would suggest Tom is closer to 5'7...but I've seen a multitude more than put him nearer 5'8. I personally think Cruise is somwhere between Glenn and Rob's height. I think Rob's listing is correct. Anonymous says on 2/Jun/09
Tellem - FYI, Your pic below (tom cruise, michael mann, and 5'9 jamie foxx:) looks tilted. Roger says on 2/Jun/09
I think there simply is no way Tom can be more than 5'7.5'' at the very max. after the Duvall photos and the Foxx photos. Parker says on 2/Jun/09
madrigal says on 1/Jun/09
Jack black is known to wear sneakers to these events and cruise in this pic is almost 100% wearing some lifts.
Here are the shoes Cruise was wearing that night which Rob has already said give you about an inch
Click Here
Look like ordinary sneekers to me.
[Editor Rob: more like 0.6 inch. Those are the converse style sneakers. Cruise likes all white sneakers, he has this pair and also a pair of totally white nike air force one...which give near 1.2 inch.] TELLEM says on 2/Jun/09

Michael Mann is listed at 5'8 on this site, but he looks more 5'6 next to jamie don't you think? Mind you if Cruise was wearing Jamie's shoes everybody would be shouting LIFTS!!
And Cruise? suprise suprise, looks like a 5'8 man. Don says on 2/Jun/09
considering he's a smidge taller than 5'7 glenn, i would say 5'7.5 is about right. 5'8, however is probably pushing it. most definitely not 5'9 although he can look it with heels on. madrigal says on 1/Jun/09
Heres a pic of ben stiller jack black and cruise,
Click Here
Jack black is known to wear sneakers to these events and cruise in this pic is almost 100% wearing some lifts, at the most 2 inches. so if you put jack black in front of cruise straight and cruise w/o lifts then cruise will not even show in the back, making the argument that cruise is b/w 5'6.5 -5'7.25 derek d says on 1/Jun/09
Jay says on 31/May/09
Awww RisingForce is hurt.
@James. Kidman has never been 5ft 10 or 5ft 11 so Cruise never did pull off looking 5ft 10 next to her. We give female celebs more benefit of the doubt than they deserve and forget that all official heights for male and female celebs are decided by faceless agents. Kidman has always been 5ft 8.5 to 5ft 9. Paltrow 5ft 8. Winslet 5ft 5. Jolie 5ft 5.5. Etc
Ummm Kidman is 5'10.5 minimum, LOL. TELLEM says on 1/Jun/09

he is very very close to 5ft 7 barefoot i think the shredder says on 1/Jun/09
Most people can't judge height , I have a cusin that claims 5'8 and I SWEAR is 5'10 or 5'11 , I even looked at him barefoot next to my uncle that is no shorter then 5'8 himself ! I don't care what he says , he is not anywhere near as short as 5'8 ! Anonymous says on 1/Jun/09
madrigal - you are calling me 'absurd' because I think he's 5'8 or close to it..yet you yourself think he could be 5'7.5?? I think your the one that's absurd. RisingForce says on 1/Jun/09
Dural, I'm now measuring 5'8" because I've been sleeping better than I was when I measured 5'7.75". Ahleks says on 1/Jun/09
Dural says on 31/May/09
Girls are the worst at judging height.
Agreed.
If they're around 5-foot-2, dating a 5-foot-9 guy, they'll just assume he's 6 foot. Les says on 31/May/09
I think hes almost 7'1"
a strong 7'.5" madrigal says on 31/May/09
to parker's comment, you are absurd, i have spent many years in photography and all these comments of 5'8 are wild, that picture firstly is taken at an angle tilted slightly right, so whoever is on the left looks taller . judging from this pic tom's body looks no more than 5'7.5 and no less than 5'6.75. he wears lifts even in sneakers! Trust me all when I say this but when you know your height you can figure out how tall somebody is when they are close to your height. TOM is no 5'8 , and no 5'6 , but 5'7.25-50 EJ says on 31/May/09
If Tom Cruise was a hair taller than Glenn and now we know that Glenn is 5'6.75", shouldn't you downgrade Cruise to 5'7" on the dot? And do the same for a lot of celebrities whose height was determined against Glenn's? Dural says on 31/May/09
Rising, didn't you say you're 5'7.75" out of bed? Most people think of themselves they are taller than they really are, so they estimate other people taller too. Girls are the worst at judging height. Many people call 5'8" short, but can't tell apart if someone is 5'8" or 5'6". Jay says on 31/May/09

I'm 5'8" and my 5'4" cousin just told me that I looked 5'10". In fairness she was in sandals and slouching while I was in sneakers. But I get comments all the time that I look taller than 5'8". I agree leonari, most people have no clue about height. leonari says on 31/May/09
I agree with RON. With decent shoes and excellent posture LOTS of people guesstimate me at 5'9.5 or 5'10". Talking about people who have no clue about height...so basically the majority. Ron says on 30/May/09
I stand 5'8", it is a deceiving height. I get comments all the time from people who swear i am at least 5'10". I believe it is due to the fact that i stand up straight all the time, and from what I have seen so does Tom. We are in the gray area when it comes to height, not really short but not tall either. James says on 30/May/09
Tom has actually pulled of looking as much as 5'10 or a bit over next to Nicole Kidman. RisingForce says on 30/May/09
In all fairness Tom can appear 5'9" in what can look like normal shoes. Click Here Of course they aren't normal shoes because we all know that Tom is not 5'9". His listing here is accurate but with his well hidden lifts and excellent posture he can pull off looking a legit 5'9" without lifts being obvious. So I can see where some would be fooled, but Tom's height is obvious. He's anywhere from 5'7.5" to 5'8". Not as short as the media make him out to be, but not as tall as he claims either. A-Bomb says on 30/May/09
This is all such b.s. - Cruise is cleary 6'0", Rob come on man get real! This site is losing credibility by the day with Tom this low. How can I take any other height listed here seriously when you can't open you eyes to the truth about Tom Cruise! :P leonari says on 29/May/09
Bud Earl: Let's give Tom 5'10? Or what tha hell 5'11"? What are you on brotha? I want some of that stuff to lose contact with reality like you and estimate Tom at 5'9" Antonio says on 29/May/09
Parker - In my opinion, he looks 2" shorter than his wife, in the barefoot pic. Also, how is it that you know his wife is really 5-9. Maybe she is 5-8 or 5-10. In order for Tom to be considered 5-8, she would have to be 5-10. If she is 5-9, then he is 5-7. RisingForce says on 29/May/09
Jay, in case you haven't noticed I've been ignoring you. I don't feel like wasting my time arguing with someone who thinks that Daniel Craig is 5'8". Gago says on 29/May/09
Parker, in that photo with Katie from the back, how can you say it's exactly an inch, all you can see is the back of the head, i don't think it's correct to measure people from the back of their head. Roger says on 29/May/09
Yes, Bud Earl, you met him. Dream on. SHAUN says on 29/May/09
I'm 1.71m in the morning. Afternoon: 1.70m. Evening: 1.69.4m.
I would say Cruise is around these measurements.
He is below average but he doesn't look that short especially the way the media term him to be.
The average American man is 1.75m, so 1.71-70m is not that short.
Does anyone know his shoe size?
I'm a US Size 8.
I've read he is about this size as well. Dural says on 29/May/09
He might be 5'8" out of bed. How do we know Katie is a legit 5'9", she could also be 5'8". Her reply "I'm... I'm... I'm like 5'9"" to the question how tall she is and her 5'8" claim in an online chat tells me, either she's downgrading her height, or she isn't quite 5'9". Parker says on 29/May/09

Parkers May 10th post is good, it has Cruise shoulder to shoulder next to a 5ft7 Michael Pena. 5ft 7.5 to 5ft 7.75 for Cruise, but no more. Roger says on 28/May/09
Parker, the site you refer to is just a list of opinions, like this site is. But Tom did look very short in more than just a few pictures. Standing in front of 6'4'' (my height) actor Max von Sydow in "Minority Report" also made him look 5'7''. He might be 171 cm. But not more, I'm sure by now. Chad says on 28/May/09
I read an article in a newspaper one time that said cruise wore 3 inch lifts to bring him up to 5'11" in interview with the vampire because they said brad pitt was 5'11" and the director didn't wont brad pitt towering over cruise in the movie . So if tom cruise had to wear 3 inch lifts to bring him up to 5'11" than he'd be in fact 5'8" not the 5'9 that he claims . Parker says on 28/May/09
Ryan says on 28/May/09
Cruise is an expert at concealing his short stature. It's difficult to make an accurate guess as to what his height may be.
Its not difficult at all Ryan. Here he is barefoot with his 5'9 wife with a small heel.Use the big Guys face at the back as a human tape measure. Cruise is approx an inch shorter. Not difficult to take an inch away from 5'9.
Click Here Ryan says on 28/May/09
Cruise is an expert at concealing his short stature. It's difficult to make an accurate guess as to what his height may be. Without the lifts, he is a very short man. 5'6 1/2" seems to be the consensus of most people regarding Cruise's height. |
