Tom Cruise Height
Tom Cruise height: 5 ft 7.75 in (172 cm)

American actor best known for starring in films like Top Gun, Mission Impossible and Minority Report. The Biggest star in Hollywood has attracted a myriad of articles that seemingly target his 'apparent' lack of stature. His height is regularly listed as being either 5ft 7 or 5ft 9 in the earlier days. In 1988 he said "I have always been pretty much the same weight, 147 pounds - at 5 feet 9 inches". Ex-wife Nicole remarked in 2001, 'Now I can wear heels again'. She also said she was a couple of inches taller than him.

Scottish comedian Billy Connolly once remarked that Tom wasn't short...that 'Tom was at least 5ft 10' and that he's a "Smashing guy. Everybody thinks he's a small guy. He's not. I think they would like him to be wee. I think they're jealous b***ards."

Though Richard Harris was quoted in Mirror Newspaper, 2001 saying "Tom Cruise is a midget and he has eight bodyguards, all 6ft 10in, which makes him even more diminutive. It's an absolute joke. Actors are unimportant.".

Brad , funny that you nailed G on the money but was awful with the height challenges next to a measured man .
CK says on 1/Feb/12
How much do you think Cruise weighs now?
CK says on 1/Feb/12
Yeah, but G also said that Sly Stallone is 5'10.75". G may have even been in his Portmans with Cruise in elevators? How would he get an accurate estimation from that? Just sayin'.....
Brad says on 1/Feb/12
G had Cruiser nailed as listed. People who stand by the C-ster know he's as listed.

@TruebloodFan - If Cruise was measured at 5'9" I would be surprised, but would happily concede my previous opinion that he is shorter. It is of course only my opinion and based on observations that cannot be completely verified, along with a general feeling that he is below average height. As to whether 5'9" is "short"? You only have to view the 'General Height' page on this site to see that a lot of posters talk about 5'10" as short and even 6' as average! I think that is mad thinking but it is out there.

Definetly between 5'7 and 5'7.5
TruebloodFan says on 31/Jan/12
even if someone measured Cruise barefoot in Times Square at 5'9, there would still be people saying 'awww, he's short!' that's how powerful an idea is. especially if it's presented by the degenerate media. of course he's not 5'9, but 5'6 is a joke.

Editor:Rob - He He, Cruise and Pitt over 200lbs? They must have their elevator shoes made of lead!!
1.85 m, 83 kg says on 31/Jan/12
Relatively short man.
the shredder says on 31/Jan/12
LOL at 200 lbs for Tom , I was 200 lbs before at G's height ... It is big FAT even if working out ... I'm at the gym working to get to 155 down from 175 , 180 .
[Editor Rob: I'm now about 161-2 myself, I was 156ish around pre christmas.]

I met Tom Cruise in Dubai when he was filming MI i am 5'6 and he was maybe an inch taller he was wearing crazy tall shoes like the ones in this video Click Here

@Parker

I try to find the pics, maybe I was wrong and Cruise was slightly taller, but the difference was clearly less than on TRL. On TRL Cruise has a heel advantage over Pena and small lifts (3cm max).
the shredder says on 30/Jan/12
Rob , Even though he said in 88 that he was 147 lbs , you agree that he looked heavier in Top Gun
[Editor Rob: yeah he could look a bit more. A few years prior to that he probably was sub 150 before he put on a bit more muscle.

i remember reading one crazy article saying he was 200 lbs and brad pitt 220lbs.]
Silent d says on 29/Jan/12
172cm.
CK says on 28/Jan/12
@Parker, his height is constantly changing between photos... it all comes down to what does Cruise have inside his shoes(if anything)? Alex, who won the height challenge says Cruise is 5'7.25" to him, I think 5'7.5" for Cruise, and Shredder thinks 5'8". Untill someone measures Cruise barefoot, like you said, I'll guess we'll never know his real height down to the mm.

if michael pena is 5'7 then tom can look 2 inches taller than him Click Here Click Here
Click Here
wich means he is in lifts... tom is for me 170-171 a downgrade would be better
Parker says on 28/Jan/12
Dural says on 27/Jan/12
The problem is, there are other pictures out there with Pena and Cruise looks the same height.

Can you post some Dural - I have honestly not seen one where he looks the same height

Here's a few I've come across

You can use the markings on the wall behind in the last one.......he actually looks 2 inches taller than Pena to me. I really find Tom's height confusing at times, and please don't start shouting 'lifts'. There's no way he had a lift in shot with Pena in trainers.....in fact Pena's shoes looked more suspicious to me.

I'm 99% convinced he's between 5'7.5 and 5'8.5, with a 1% chance he could be a smidge taller or shorter 5'7.25-5'8.75 - We'll never know.
xzk says on 28/Jan/12
He's still 5'6 to 5'7. This guy has fooled you with the wedge and impeccable posture.

Tom has GOT to be 5'8 with Pena who has GOT to 5'7 If Tom has no insoles !
Parker says on 27/Jan/12
CK says on 25/Jan/12
For now, I think anything between 5'7" and 5'7.75" is possible for Cruise.

Reasonable estimate CK.

Tell me what you think of these pics.
Here's Danny Trejo (listed at 5'5.75 on this site and pictured with Rob) with 5'7 listed Michael Pena

And Pena with Cruise

With footwear advantage and good posture he's looking 5'9 at least with Andrew Garfield:

Again, forcing his posture he can look north of 5'9
