acg-no,katie is always taller,but tom is usually taller than me lately."
you're shrinking zomg!!!!! :D naaaaah, its Tom elevating with elevators. Louise says on 12/May/08
Tom is around 5-6 or 5-7 max. I met him yeeeears ago and he was way older than 21 so i guess its impossible to grow taller. My 2 cents.
Adam says on 12/May/08
He can look about the same as his women Holmes (about 5ft 9in I think) who, despite his descretion and modesty on Opra he is madly in love with. glenn says on 12/May/08
acg-no,katie is always taller,but tom is usually taller than me lately. ACG says on 11/May/08
glenn, when you see tom and katie, does tom always look taller than katie?
And in PARADE magazine they described katie as 5'10 and tom as 5'7..... Adam says on 11/May/08
Just watched that Opra show where Cruise made a total cringe-worthy spectacle of himself ( I could hardly bare to look). glenn says on 11/May/08
exactly dmeyer.cause you and me saw her. leonari says on 11/May/08
she wears the flattest ballerina shoes and he his biggest lifts.make the math!! he is a tad below 5'8 Aratirion says on 11/May/08
I guess she's a legit 5'9. Cruise is just wearing the biggest shoes that exist. Furthermore they ain't straight and she's further away from the camera. Charliemoto says on 11/May/08
"glenn says on 9/May/08
nacom-ever see him in the flesh? didnt think so.i see him bi-monthly lately.almost everyday last week."
bring us new pictures then! we want to see this (not to doubt your word) but out of curiousity! you're great so you can do it!
:D bring us fresh pix to debate our lives. dmeyer says on 11/May/08
katie is nothing under 5 ft 8.75 and possibly 5 ft 9.25 like 175 176 range glenn says on 11/May/08
she is 5-9.i see them all the time. John says on 10/May/08
Katie Holmes looks 5-7, 5-8 in flat shoes, 5-9 in heels ( or more), I don't buy the 5-9 she claims. She doesn't look sooo tall. In the pic posted, Tom is 2 inches taller than her. Barefeets (5-7.75) he gets the same height of katie on flat shoes. James W. says on 10/May/08
He gives a 5'11 illusion there because the perception and angles are skewed to making Katie looking shorter. But shes behind him. I bet if she was standing next to tom in this pic straight side by side he would have an inch over her tops. That man sure knows how to use those lifts and keep a 'tall' posture. Anonymous says on 10/May/08
I bet people wouldn't even mention his height if he wasn't with tall women all the time. That's why they're always making fun of him. Katie Holmes is 5'9 and thats very tall for a woman as it is, so the average man would look small with her if she's always wearing 3/4 inch heels! She would be around 6 foot + and a man would seem smaller if hes not taller than the woman hes standing next to. I would say hes about 5'7-5'8 too. sven says on 10/May/08
in the daniel pic he looks like a 5-11 or 6ft guy amazing lifts... Anonymous says on 9/May/08
why was he married ONLY to tall women(Minnie Driver, Nicole Kidman, Katie Holmes? Well I suppose he likes them taller than himself or in general is into tall chicks. So what?
Anon_V: which co-stras are so extremelly tall? You talk with from your a... Aratirion says on 9/May/08
Not allowing specific people to costar with him would result in an even more wierd article in any newspaper of this world than his Oprah appearance or his Scientology crap. He lost a lot of sympathy (rightly).
Furthermore it's easy for cameras not to let him appear shorter than the other ones. Anon2008 says on 9/May/08
Maybe because he doesn't give a ****. daniel says on 9/May/08
he sure looks pretty tall in this pic with katie holmes, i say his wearing one of the tallest lift there is in the market
Click Here miko says on 9/May/08
Cruise is a solid 5"7 guy, who with lifts can look a solid 5"9. sven says on 9/May/08
acg he can easy wears lifts in that pic...in that pic he looks 5-9 or a bit more in shoes glenn says on 9/May/08

Why does he "allow" extremely tall women to costar with him? Wouldn't that make him appear shorter? runt says on 8/May/08
Hey ACG, that's an interesting pic because Jennifer Lopez does look her reported 5-5 if she's wearing the same kind of heels as 5-9 Katie Holms. However, she should have a little more on Marc Anthony if he's only 5-6? Brah says on 8/May/08
"Did you ever see him in flip flops? Didnt think so!"
We have already seen a picture of Tom Cruise BAREFOOT next to Katie Holmes in flip flops. He appeared between 5'7" and 5'8". sven says on 8/May/08
i agree tom cant be 5-6 is at least 5-7,possible 5-8 but not under,in lifts can be 5-9.25/5-9.5 is impossible for a 5-6 man hit 5-9.5 with normal looking shoes.... Nacom says on 8/May/08
Tom wears a built up shoe. If you look at certain pictures of him he wears the same shoes - weird looking disabled type shoes - especially when he is looking taller. He is about 5'5-5'6 with his lifts makes him 5'8ish (as seen above). Did you ever see him in flip flops? Didnt think so! Click Here ACG says on 8/May/08
Take a look at this. Click Here
Marc Anthony is 5'6.....to argue that Tom is the same height is nuts. glenn says on 8/May/08

I'll go with 5'7" - 5'8" as a guestimate but I haven't realy done my homework on Tom. glenn says on 6/May/08
5-6 isnt worth debating.i saw tom all week.5-8 to 5-9.5. Random person says on 5/May/08
Okay seriously now, isn't 172 = 5'8? James says on 5/May/08
Anonymous indeed there is a lot to debate about Tom Cruise's height. 5ft6 seems a bit low for Tom personally. James says on 5/May/08

My opinion regarding 56 estimates for Tom Cruise are total rubbish, not even worth bothering debating. Ed T. says on 4/May/08
A co-worker of mine who used to work at the U.S. Tennis Open in Forest Hills, NY, saw Tom Cruise up close, while Cruise was attending a match about 16 years ago. He said that Cruise was short and that 5'7" would be his maximum estimate as to Cruise's height. He implied that Cruise was closer to 5'6". Charliemoto says on 3/May/08

Tom Cruise is 5'7.75 to 5'8 max. kln says on 3/May/08
remember he can't be 5'6 because he's taller than ben stiller. James says on 2/May/08
Tom at 5'9...never. 5'8 is possible but footwear is just so key. Even with fancy designer shoes on he doesn't look 5'9. So I can't say 5'8. Looks 5'7. Always did. sven says on 2/May/08
sarkozy is 5-5?are you sure?I dont think Lonnie says on 2/May/08
You seem quite positive about his height anonymous. I did read once that he was only 5'6" but assumed it was an exaggeration, however, if you have met him without his lifts then I suppose your estimate is as accurate as any on this page. Anon2008 says on 2/May/08
If Cruise is 5-6 then he would basically have to wear shoes that give him 3 inches in those pics if Glenn has 1 inch with shoes. glenn says on 2/May/08
rob-is that brad again on the glenn page and here? either way i want shoes banned.and if it is brad,is there anything we can do to get rid of this guy? anything legal? harrasment? he is a stalker of mine.but he is a guy.usually its the opposite sex.how gay is that? Anonymous says on 1/May/08
I met Tom Cruise in Boston when he was filming a legal movie, I was an extra. They had to saw a bus stop sign pole in near half when TC stood next to it for a shot.
He normally has lifts, but they wouldn't fit in the shoes he had to wear for that shot so he lost some apparent height. My best guess? I'm 6'0, he's 5'6 tops (his hair is very poufy, adds height.) His height doesn't hurt his build, it makes him look more buff, which suits him. Suits most anyone, whatever height. Shoes says on 1/May/08
Try 5' 8". Look at him taller than Glenn. Both wear lifts. ACG says on 1/May/08
Dude, that article posted by Just A Thought was an April Fool's joke.
That's what I meant when I said look at the date..... sam says on 1/May/08
cruise should be officially declared 5'8 leonari says on 1/May/08
these magazines are ridiculous. I just read one where they put Cruise at 160 cm...Can you believe that?? glenn says on 1/May/08
just typical press exaggeration. ACG says on 30/Apr/08
Just A Thought.: Did you not notice the DATE of that article?!?!? James says on 30/Apr/08
I still think this guy is 5ft8 or a fraction under. Just A Thought. says on 30/Apr/08
I came across something a little startling. This might break the height speculation on Cruise: In the April 1, 2008 article of the British newspaper, "The Telegraph," it is said that Tom Cruise is 5foot 7...but ONLY in elevator heels. I couldn't believe it when I read it. Here's the website link (Read #2):
Click Here
And here is the quote:
"The only Hollywood star estimated to be shorter than President Sarkozy is Tom Cruise, who reaches 5ft 7in, but only in elevator heels. Before taking on his role in Top Gun, Cruise insisted that all of the extras should be played by plastic models."
President Sarkozy is exactly at 5 foot 5. Just a note.
Also when you read the article the journalist made a few mistakes of writing 3foot 7 and not 5 foot 7. Just another note.
What do you make of this Glenn? Is this a little too farfetched? I mean, "The Telegraph" is a highly respectable newspaper of Great Britain. Heck, it's what everyone reads there. R says on 30/Apr/08
Ok, I'm a little confused here. A lot of people here on this site claim 5 7 while others are saying 5 8 or 5 9. What exactly is the height? I've heard that Cruise is 5 6.5 / 7 but wears incredible lifts that gives him 2-3 extra height. A little help, anyone, please? Lonnie says on 30/Apr/08
Glenn, you say he looks 5'9" yet you are 5'8" and in both photographs you look as tall as him, if not a shade taller in the first photo if you were standing upright and not leaning and you say it is possible in the first photo you may have been 5'7". I agree with you that he may have been on tiptoe in the second picture because there is definately something about his posture which suggests it, however, even then he does not have a clear height advantage. I have to agree with Leonari and James on his height. Without footwear I would estimate 5'7". Having said that, I have never met him but you have! Leung says on 28/Apr/08
Rob is right on the money with Cruise at 57.75. JOSH says on 27/Apr/08
Nicholson and sutherland looked a good 2-3 inches taller than cruise in a few good men. He might be a full 5ft 7 but no way over that. Heightdetective says on 27/Apr/08
The argument that Tom Cruise is "short" is stupid. 171-172cm is a little under average height for male adults in most 1st world countrys, yes, but really not SHORT. I mean, short means a human who gets dwarfed by other average humans and i dont think that this guy really look like a midget beside people with average height, maybe a little under, but really not that tiny to justify the word "short"
I think the press exaggerate to call cruise "short" and present him like a midget glenn says on 27/Apr/08
no,but 5-7 could be too low.when you see him walk by you looking 5-9.5,5-10.you wonder.and looking 5-9 now that i think of it in low cut shoes in the pic above.its quick to judge and shoot off like that.but when you see the person.it changes your perspective.99 percent of the time he looked 5-9 min to me.once 5-7.i had thick boots on though.im thinking more on the 5-8 range.rob has him right.5-7 possible,but too low as well. leonari says on 27/Apr/08
I totally agree James. You seem to be one who has common sense. Those who say 5'9" need to be slapped. James says on 27/Apr/08
Sorry but Cruise barefoot is no more than 5'7. No less either though. He got away with that extra .75 there with possible lifts. More common in hollywood than people think. glenn says on 27/Apr/08
the right pic i suspect a possible lift.the left pic no lifts,but im bent over a bit,and maybe,just maybe i was 5-7 then.i was 21 there.i mightve hit 5-8 then or at 22.im not sure.plus cruise was tip toeing a bit this night.i caught him in pictures doing it. GF says on 27/Apr/08
glen, he looks clearly taller than you in both pics. footwear? Davey says on 26/Apr/08
Cruise is 5`7 if hes lucky. Anthony says on 26/Apr/08
I just talked to my friend who's on the NYPD and has done security for Cruise and has met him one on one many times. I asked him if he's really short, to which he responded "Yes." I asked him if 5'7 was accurate, to which he responded "Yes," quite confidently I might add. I should point out that my friend is also 5'7. Gabrielle says on 26/Apr/08
Well if he's really 5ft7 AND THREE QUARTERS then he's not that short. My father's 5ft8 and a half, and I don't consider him short at all. Not tall either though--just average height. antonio says on 26/Apr/08
i met him at the "mostra del cinema di venezia" in 1999, i was very close to him and he was as tall as me. I'm 173 cm Corey xoxo says on 25/Apr/08
He looks a lot smaller than katie! maybe katie was wearing heels in those pics i dont know... Mistoh says on 25/Apr/08
YES Rocky...
How could a 5'7.75" person be considered short? This height range is so common.
If Tom Cruise is short then he is wearing lifts -or- Glenn is standing with bad posture. One of the things that directors look for in a potential actor is POSTURE.
They can make actors/actresses look any height they want.
To sum it up, I think Tom Cruise is at the most 5'6" OR for some reason he really is 5'10" plus. I could not give you an honest assesment unless I really met the guy in person. Rocky says on 25/Apr/08
Tom Cruise has to be shorter than 5'7.5'' if people call him short - there are plenty of people that height nowadays. Not to mention that his build, looks, and hair compensate. Bill says on 25/Apr/08
Tom cruse looks 5'8.5!!! He looks about a 1/2 inch to an inch taller than Glenn. Remember, he ALWAYS LOOKS TALLER IN MOVIES B/C OF LOW CAMERA ANGLES AND OFTEN SHORTER FEMALE SUPPORTING ACTRESSES CONSTANTLY NEAR HIM!!! PLUS, HE PROBLY WEARS LIFTS, SO THATS 3 REASONS WHY HE PROBLY LOOKS 5'10ISH ON THE SCREEN derek d says on 25/Apr/08
Its funny how Tom being on the tall end of short (5'7 - 5'7.75) was married to 5'10 - ish Nicole Kidman and now is married to 5'9 Katie Holmes, lol guess he doesn't really care about their height differences... Also look at Sly, jesus he was married to 6'0 Brigitte Nielson and now his 5'9 current wife LOL man these guys don't make things easy for themselves do they. dmeyer says on 24/Apr/08
shoes are very importand at 5 ft 11 i had converse and my friend at 6 ft had thick nike shoes 1.5 in 3.8 cm over barefeet and i had 1.5 cm over barefeet thats 2.3 cm advantage like just about 1 in he seemed about 2 in taller Anonymous says on 22/Apr/08
folks who see that either Glenn or Cruise in the above pics has a major advantage over the other is blind or retarded. They are very similar in height. Maybe even the same on the dot.
One thing is for sure: Cruise career is going downhill and it's well deserved. This man was a very decent actor in his youth. He lost his gift and changed it for pure mainstream bull**** roles. To be honest: I can't watch his face anymore. This ridiculous fake smile is making me go bezerk. I doubt that he will make a comeback and become evrybodies darling once again. His whole behavior is just to extreme and if you ask me He lost his looks as well. Lonnie says on 22/Apr/08
I disagree that he has a clear height advantage over Glenn, in fact in the first photograph if Glenn were not leaning and was standing as upright as Cruise, I think Glenn would definately be taller. The second photograph they look about the same height, perhaps Cruise as a slight advantage however, it looks to me like he is standing on something. I have never seen Tom Cruise slouch, he always seems to adopt a perfect posture and the people I have found do this are usually those who are conscious about their height. Anon2008 says on 22/Apr/08
lol jax, those things freak me out too (the shoes) glenn says on 22/Apr/08
he might be slightly tip toeing though. ACG says on 21/Apr/08
if he's not wearing lifts on the left, he's without a doubt 5'9 min. he has a clear height advantage on glenn and glenn isn't leaning in that much. Donkey Kong says on 21/Apr/08
100% not wearing lifts...that makes Glenn 5' 6.5". Anonymous says on 21/Apr/08
If Tom is 100 percent not wearing lifts on the pic on the left, then, Glenn, it's so bad you messed things up leaning forward.. jax says on 21/Apr/08
glenn, thanks for explaining your photos.
He is such a loon anymore. If Tom Cruise has wedge sneakers (sorry, those things are still freaking me out! LOL!) I wouldn't be surprised if he has a vast collection of lifts in all kinds of styles.
I dunno... there are times when he looks without a doubt 5'8" or more and then others when he looks considerably shorter.
I'm not entirely convinced either way, but I'm leaning towards shorter. glenn says on 21/Apr/08
oh,another thing.the pic on the left he is 100 percent not wearing lefts. glenn says on 21/Apr/08
he sure can look 5-9.5 to 5-10 in all kinds of shoes.in the flesh.in person.so all those shoes must be sophisticated lifts? maybe.but i think that means he might be closer to my height than i originally thought. jax says on 21/Apr/08
Seriously, those wedge-sneakers that Tom Cruise is wearing are freaking me out. I don't know what freaks me out more... that they're wedge sneakers or that he is soooo obviously wearing wedge sneakers.
A guy like Prince is out there flaunting his high-heeled glamour boots and other guys are totally discreet about their lifts... but Tom's wedge sneakers... I don't get it.
I'm starting to think that unless I see full length photos of Tom Cruise barefoot, I'm going to assume he's on the very short side and wears lifts 24/7.
Maybe Tom wore lifts in the photos of him with Glenn? Jason says on 21/Apr/08
That Jason isn't me ... I don't know (have an opinion) how tall Tom is exactly. I would guess 5'7''-5'8''. jax says on 21/Apr/08
I don't know what to make of these shoes Tom is wearing. They appear to have at least a 2"+ heel in them.
It's hard to tell if Katie is wearing heels as well, but I kinda doubt it. It looks like Tom's lifts help him reach Katie's height.

[Editor Rob: measure yourself at 1pm...then go with that height, you might be nearer 5ft 7.75 than 7.5 at that time. That'd be my opinion.] Jason says on 20/Apr/08
If you want to see something funny, freeze frame on the scene in Top Gun when Maverick is walking up to Charlie parked on the side of the road (right after she chases him through the base gates). You'll see that Tom's cowboy boots have 5-6 inch heels to make him eye-level with 5'10" Kelly McGillis. I have no idea how tall Tom really is in real life, but would he need that kind of lift if he was 5'8"? leonari says on 20/Apr/08
eddiehaskell: I totally agree. These full 5'9" for Cruise claims are such bull****...to the point where I get kinda mad...
Listen:I got measured two days ago. I am exactly 5'7.5" (171 cm) tall /short , I don't care how you fellas wanna call it. I was measured at 4 pm and I barely slept the night before. Now I also have a rather big upper body like Cruise and rather shorter legs. I analyzed countless pics of him during the last 24 hours: There is no way in hell that this man is an inch or even 1.5 inches taller than me. When I wear the right shoes with lifts I can look 5'9" - 5'9.5" no problem. You know I respect you a lot Glenn. I am a supporter from day one.
BUT: there is no way Thomas Cruise Mapother IV is a 5'9" guy. Hell even when he wakes up after 12 hours of sleep, if one would measure him the moment he gets up he wouldn't reach 5'9". Close to it probably-but never 175 cm. I rest my case and there is no one who could convince of the opposite except if I would stand barefeet next to this guy and see that he is 4 cm taller when we both stand total straight. eddiehaskell says on 20/Apr/08
Oprah is listed here at 5'6"...if her heels gave her 2.5" - wouldn't that make Tom 5'8.5" with shoes on? She actually looked a hair taller to me.
If Tom's shoes gave him an 1" that makes him 5'7.5"....even less if he had a small lift in.
I'd say he is 5'7 - 5.7.75" glenn says on 18/Apr/08
i agree.i have a 5-9 friend i swear is 5-8.so its a small possibilty.but being we saw barefoot pics of him and katie,he did look 5-7.5 in those pics.however,with pics one can never be too sure.he could be 5-8 from those pics. Andre says on 18/Apr/08
Everyone has their opinion ACG, just accept it. Who are you to tell us anyway? ACG says on 17/Apr/08
or 5'6 7/8ths ?!?!
seriously when glenn says he can't be lower than 5'7, just accept it. even 5'7 flat usually sounds too low for tom. he could even be 5'9 for all we know. don't forget he looks close to 5'10 to glenn on a regular basis.
the only thing he's abnormally short for is a stereotypical hollywood leading man(6'2).
for what he actually is(40 something white american man) he fits well into the range of average, concerning height. Lonnie says on 17/Apr/08
How about 5'6 3/4"? Random Person says on 17/Apr/08
Isn't 172cm considered 5'8? glenn says on 17/Apr/08
andre you are right.but he isnt lower than 5-7.his range is between 5-7 and 5-8.25.most likely 5-7.5. Andre says on 16/Apr/08
Oh there is a way Glenn.. Have u measured him lately or let's say ever? ;) All I say is everthing in that range is possible. Take Stallone as an example glenn says on 16/Apr/08
no way is cruise lower than 5-7. Andre says on 15/Apr/08
Im guessing that Cruises lift give him at least 2 to 3 (somewhere between that f.ex. 2.4,2.5,2.6 or so) inches. Below that is out of the questionA. He could be 5'7.5, 5'7 but as well as 5'6.5 runt says on 15/Apr/08
boxers with long skinny necks tend to have glass jaws and that's never a short fighter. A lot of lanky fighters have to do a lot of 'neck ups' to strengthen their necks. It still didn't work for Tommy Hearns. glenn says on 15/Apr/08
height helps in a fight.no doubt.but it isnt everything and shorter guys have more agression and agility.cruise has been looking 5-9.5 to me alot lately.so i wonder about 5-8? Some guy says on 15/Apr/08
Dude, you're right about Tyson. Other shorter fighters like Roberto Duran (5'7) beat up larger foes. Duran beat Iran Barkley (6'1 at 168 pounds even though Duran's best weight was 135). The guy who gave a prime Roy Jones all he could handle was 5'7 Montell Griffin. The guy who gave a prime Evander Holyfield all he could handle was 5'6.5 Dwight Qawi. The list goes on, but bottom line is height isn't the most important factor in a fight or defending yourself. Dude says on 14/Apr/08
He hits 5'9" in shoes. Maybe he sports lifts but he clearly hits 5'9" with footwear on is my point. And He could not jump on the couch like he did so easy with heels on so I am guessing the lifts (if any) were smaller than normal. I doubt he can be below 5'6", 5'7" is minimum.
And tommyknocker he may be scrappy, I knew many guys 5'5" to 5'7" that beat the piss out of several 6 footers in my presence, as did I at 5'9". (Summers at the Jersey shore) So unless a man is weak or very little (well under 5' and lite weight), you may be surprised. Look at the guys Mike Tyson (about 5'9.5") knocked out during his early years. Strength and Weight plays more of a factor than height in a fight. I bet Tyson would have knocked out Shaq or Patrick Ewing for example. Anonymous says on 14/Apr/08
tommyknocker: and you would be considered a fool in Hollywood as well as outside. you are so primitive...I pitty the fool. glenn says on 14/Apr/08
correct anonymous. tommyknocker says on 12/Apr/08
he's 5'6"-5'7" and would be considered a shrimp outside of hollywood. in candid shots he's always considerably smaller than other men (just saw one of him and beckham), and he's wearing heels. he's shorter than the women most of the time too. its funny cuz he often tries to play a tough guy in movies (far and away, top gun, mission impossible, etc), and because in movies no one mentions how tiny he is, in the real world people would be giggling and pushing the little napolean around. Anonymous says on 12/Apr/08
yea he had lifts on in that video, and Tom is not 5'9 at all. Dude says on 10/Apr/08

Rob , If you measure a guy at 5'7 1/4 with loose posture at around mid night what would his real height be with good posture in mid day ? ... The reason why I ask is because thats how I measured my uncle ! When my uncle stands next to my 5'7 grandpaw he looks more then 1/4 taller , More like 1.5 atleast !
[Editor Rob: he could be 5ft 8, depends on what loose posture is...] James says on 10/Apr/08
Tom Cruise look like more of a 5ft8 guy than a 5ft7 guy. Both Tom Cruise, Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwazernegger heights are underestimated. For instance people think Tom is 5ft5,5ft6, or 5ft7 when he is infact virtually 5ft8. People think Sly is 5ft8 or 5ft7 when he is probably 5ft10 or a bit more as well. Rinkydick says on 10/Apr/08
Well GSP I thought i saw Nicholson at far taller in A Few Good men, but maybe the milatary boots make sense, but I stand by my claim. It could be lifts. Who the hell knows? glenn says on 10/Apr/08

rust me tom cruise is like 5'6-5'6.5 look at Tom Cruise and Oprah Winfrey, they're the same height and she's 5'6.5.
Click Here Anonymous says on 9/Apr/08
yea i still think 5'8.25 is BS, I think he's less than that. I think he's like 5'6-5'6.5! dmeyer says on 9/Apr/08
check getty images editorial type 72212855 you willsee a friend ofmine standing in front of tom cruise my friend had elevators on wish give 2 in over barefeet he is about 5 ft 7 and plus 2 in 5 ft 9 with shoes on cruise looks an easy in taller cruise had high cut dress shoes cruise had surely about 2.25 lifts like 1.25 plus 1.25 about 2.25 in total shoes but he loks about 1.25 in taller than my friend so 5 ft 10.25 with shoes on so i think he has to be near 5 ft 8 like 5 ft 7.75 in rob list him at i cant se cruise under 5 ft7.5 and likely near 5 ft 8 since my friend who is 5 ft 7 cant achieve 5 ft 9 in and cruise does i met him sevral times cruise can lok near 175 cm ecaus of lifts and my friend no more than 5 ft8 to 5 ft 8.25 sam says on 9/Apr/08
well again Tom cruise gets the worst rep for his height because he is seen as one of or even the biggest stars in hollywood Blue Scarab says on 8/Apr/08
Why has Tom gotten a bad press for being short,5'8'' is medium height.There are countless actors around his height but they aren't badgered about their heights like him.What is it about him that prompts this dissent with regard to his height. the shredder says on 8/Apr/08
I think Rob found that somebody claimed that he claimed 5'8.25 ? ... I can buy that before 5'7 flat or full 5'9 ! glenn says on 8/Apr/08
he did? when? the shredder says on 7/Apr/08
Tom Cruise is 5'8.25 , He even claimed it ! sam says on 7/Apr/08
by the way, how much height do you guys predict tom's shoes usually give him sam says on 7/Apr/08
its problably because he's so HUGE in terms of movie star status and not that huge in terms of actual size. he's really not small though, you're right "C" its pretty rediculous people make such a fuss about it. C. says on 6/Apr/08
I think I'll always be baffled why people think Cruise is so "short". There are plenty of smaller actors out there yet never get as much grief as this guy does. Maybe because it's because he's half insane and also an A-lister? Who knows. glenn says on 6/Apr/08
rob-get rid of that loser. Mummy says on 6/Apr/08
Normal footwear for Glenn? Not. Never. Check out the Iron Maiden shoes. GSP says on 5/Apr/08
Rinky..I thought nicolson only looked like 1 inch more and he ahd military boots but I havent seen the movie in awhile.
A solid 5'8 isnt short imo...even 5'7 isnt really short..when you start getting 5'5 and lower then its really noticable.
Most guys are within a few inches of me either way and im barely 5'9. Seems like more are taller than not though. I wish I was 5'11 but 5'9 isnt short and there is no use being bugged by something so stupid. I mean even a 6 footer is only like 4 % taller than me. Big ****ing deal lol.
I think I started being bothered alot by height when I started visiting this site and noticed how celebs around my height get so much **** for their height and also just things like ("OMG there is no way he is 5'8 my dreams are ruined because he ist 2% shorter than I though") type of comments lol.
It also pisses me off when I get reffered to as a smallish guy when if i was 1-2 measesly inches taller I doubt I would ever get those comments. James says on 5/Apr/08
Check out his shoes in War of the Worlds, wonder how tall he got to wearing those? sam says on 5/Apr/08
my friend said he met him in new york back when he did top gun, and said "no way he's 5'9, problably 5'7..." leonari says on 5/Apr/08
Thank you Rinkydick!! Finally someone with common sense. This 5'9" talk for Cruise has to stop people.
Maybe he scratches 5'8" on a good day. I doubt it but ok. But folks saying he is 5'9"...he does not wear lifts??
Whats going on?? James says on 5/Apr/08
Tom Cruise really is not short as some people make him out to be, if anything he's verging on average. I asked my bro how tall Tom was and he said "5ft6" no wonder people think he is pint sized which he is described as in newspapers. Of course he's not pint sized he's just shortish really. glenn says on 5/Apr/08
the one on the right mightve been a slight lift.or at least pavement.the left one he seemed to have no lifts.but i put my bookbag on the ground as the pic was taken,hunched.i did take a pic of him standing on his tip toes next to paul newman and nicole kidman,at this very moment.i jumped in,the other 2 scattered,tom stayed with me for the pic.nicholson had a habit of looking 5-10 in those days. Rinkydick says on 5/Apr/08
In A few good men he looked to be far shorter than Jack Nicholson(who I believe is no more than 5ft9) ACG says on 4/Apr/08
negative, both glenn and cruise had on normal footwear in the two above pics(i think) NY's own Holden Caulfield says on 4/Apr/08
Why is Tom marked shorter than Glenn when he actually appears to be taller in these two photos. Maybe he wears lifts, but maybe Glenn also wears lifts eh? ;D chopski says on 3/Apr/08
I've got 2 points. First, 'lifts' in the Hollywood sense are shoes with a wedge on the inner sole, so the outer heel can look perfectly normal. Second, I have to agree with others as at 5'7" with a girlfriend who is 6'1" in dress shoes, personality goes a long way. I'm not rich either! the shredder says on 3/Apr/08
Rob , do you think he can be 5'8 - 5'8.25 ?
[Editor Rob: he can look it to a lot of folk.] Anonymous says on 3/Apr/08
hes like 5'9" in 2nd pick his head leaning forward and the 5'8" guy is standing tall James says on 2/Apr/08
He aint really that short its just becuase hes so famous and in action films that the press just poke fun at him becuase he is slightly more than an inch under average. There just jelous if you ask me. Leung says on 1/Apr/08
As people like James and glenn have already pointed out, in most instances Cruise looks only slightly shorter than average. Cruise is borderline 58 or accurately 57.75 that he is listed on this page. Anonymous says on 1/Apr/08
sam, my dad says he is 6 feet tall, and he was in his prime. now, with ihs posture he is around 5'11'' barefoot. but in pictures of his wedding and youth he really appeared ot be about 6'1''. so to answer your question, yes, older people really do shrink and hte first step is bad posture. glenn says on 1/Apr/08
i agree james to a point.i assume like the rest of the world its his lifts that make him taller.like i said,identical to me is possible.im 5-7ish late at night.maybe he is 5-7.5 mid day like me. James says on 1/Apr/08
glenn Toms never looked as short as 5ft7 he just look a bit under average really glenn says on 1/Apr/08
oh you met him anonymous? Anonymous says on 31/Mar/08
hell no, he's not 5'8 max, more like 5'7 tops. He's a legit 5'6. glenn says on 31/Mar/08
im just saying he always looked 5-9 to me come to think of it.all kinds of footwear.low cut casuals as well.so maybe he is around my height.sometimes the lifts are obvious.most of the time i cant detect. paul says on 31/Mar/08
ok maybe 4" stacks is a bit of an exaggeration, but shoes like that can give you like 2-nearly3inches, all im trying to say is that there is no way that cruise is any bigger than 5'7.5-no chance runt says on 31/Mar/08
paul, I'd like to see a photograph of cruise's 'stacks'. I've seen photographs where it's fairly obvious that he was wearing dodgy footwear but nothing ever looked to me to be 4" 'stacks'. dural says on 31/Mar/08
5'9" katie holmes is taller then him barefoot. there is no chance he is anything near 5'9.5. paul says on 31/Mar/08
tom cruise is known to wear very big shoes called stacks that give you almost 4 inches, id say as small as he could be is 5'6 and his max height would prob be about 5'8 ACG says on 30/Mar/08
yup, i sure as hell would believe 5'9 or even 5'10 if that was what everyone claimed and it was listed all over the net-i mean just from looking at him alone...if nobody claimed he was 5'7-8ish i never would doubt him at 5'10. he looks it, but probably isn't.
glenn: lifts, "you guess"? i not trying to nitpicking here, but are you implying that Tom might be that height of 5'9.5 liftless? and did you mean he looked as though he was 5'9.5 barefoot? so he'd be closer to 5'11 in regular shoes(if they were what they appeared to be)?
sorry for all the questions! glenn says on 30/Mar/08
yeah tom does look pretty tall lately.5-9.5 or so.and dmeyer saw it too.but its lifts i guess.he could be 5-8. leonari says on 30/Mar/08
Joe: Glenn also said thats in Lifts. Joe says on 30/Mar/08
He looks about 4 inches shorter than 6'2 Will Smith. Now I ain't saying Tom's 5'10, but by the looks of it his heels aren't that much taller than Will's.
He is a weak 5'9. Unless you believe he wears 3" heels everywhere he goes. ACG says on 30/Mar/08
5'9 a joke? not entirely.....glenn said that Tom looked 5'9.25 on a regular basis last year. glenn says on 30/Mar/08
highly unlikely 5-9.but not impossible for tom.5-8 for stallone is impossible.5-7 to 5-8 for tom.more on the 5-7.5. leonari says on 29/Mar/08
He is 5'7". But I find it very strange that more and more folks believe this man is a weak 5'9"...
what a joke. sf says on 29/Mar/08
I was going to meet Tom Cruise back around 1987 or so, but it never happened. And, it would have happened under the best of circumstances - barefoot and in wrestling shoes. At the time Iowa had dominated the sport of wrestling - had won 9 national championships in a row and was expected to win its tenth. Well, it got upset by my college - Iowa State University, which won the national championship that year, beating Iowa. There were plans in the works to do a movie on Dan Gable, the Iowa coach at that time, and, also at that time, considered the most dominant wrestler ever. Tom Cruise was picked to play Gable. A friend of mine, Brad Penrith, a National Champion at Iowa, was going to teach Tom to wrestle, so that's how I was going to meet him. Dammit - never happened. They scrapped the movie, all because Iowa lost. Anyway, it was in the development, don't know if it would have happened for sure or not, but never got the chance to find out. My friend is 5'6". Would have been great to see the two standing next to each other in wrestling shoes which have NO heel. sam says on 29/Mar/08
little question for your guys, your opinon on this: my dad claims he's 5'6 though i know he's shorter, i saw him measured in his mid fiftees and he was barely 5'5. is it possible he was once this height and lost it or could he have been exagerrating from square one... the shredder says on 29/Mar/08
I think he could be as tall as 5'8.25 ... I agree with Glenn atleast 5'7 , even on a bad day !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Parker says on 29/Mar/08
I really don't understand these 5'6 and under estimates for Tom. The UK Sun newspaper did the usual 'heightist' spread in the centre pages yesterday,mocking attractive women going for shorter guys. They had Tom listed as 5'4. Watch Rainman. If Tom is 5'6, Hoffman is 5'3. I've seen a photo of Hoffman with MJF. Looks a good 2-3 inches taller, so we would need to downgrade MJF to 5' even.........I don't think so. glenn says on 28/Mar/08
all i know is tom is at least 5-7.i cant say what trickery was involved and i dont list the heights here. runt says on 28/Mar/08
Also, if you look at the third pick of Naomi 5-4.5 +Heels, she is the same height or taller than a barefoot 5-6.5 person runt says on 28/Mar/08
Anonymous, with the heels that Nicole is wearing in the first pic, she's over 6-1. At 5-5 to 5-6 Tom would have to fight 7-8 inches with shoes and lifts. Anonymous says on 28/Mar/08
runt,
Take a good look at the first pic. Everyone knows Tom Cruise is the biggest lift wearer in Hollywood...Cue first pic...Nice big inchy shoes with some lifts. BIG difference in height...
Glenn,
I'll bet 10 bucks that Tom was wearing inchy dress shoes plus lifts in both of your photos. Do you remember if you were waist to waist with Tom (in other words: same leg length)? If so (which I'll also bet), how is it that your back (waist to top of shoulders) looks longer than Tom's in the first pic (left)? Now, I'm not downsizing either you or Tom, but I refuse to believe that you list him as 5'7.75 when he himself looks taller than you...go back to the time when you met him on both occasions...remember his shoes AND his reputation for wearing big lifts (No Denial, please). Now imagine him without shoes (and you the same). Would you still say to me that he is really 5'7.75?
Tom Cruise: 5'6.5 MAX (If he is lucky). runt says on 28/Mar/08
Here's a little reminder that sometimes Nicole did wear heels and therefore it is IMPOSSIBLE for Tom to be 5-5 to 5-6
Click Here
Click Here
And here is Nicole with Naomi Watts (5-4.5) and some of you say Naomi is only a half an inch shorter than Tom

i agree.at least 5-9 in movies. ACG says on 26/Mar/08
exactly. i don't see why he is said to be "stereotyped" as 5'5 or 5'6. My dad thought he was at least 5'9 from seeing him in his movies. he really doesn't give a short impression at all..... afterlife says on 25/Mar/08
wow I always thought that tom cruise was like a 5-9 or 5-10 tall guy, his movies doesn't make him look that short GSP says on 25/Mar/08
"Joe Cool, you are being hilarious, he is already 45 now, he is not going to shrink 2 inches in the next 5 years. My bet is that 5 years from now Cruise is still going to be the same height."
My be is 10 years from now he wont be much shorter. Most people only lose .05-1 inch in their 50s and 60s...after that though the loss can get bigger. GSP says on 25/Mar/08
"Lmao...Tom Cruise makes me feel tall. I am 16 and 5'8, I hope I can grow to 5'10 which is average height here in the States."
Why does he make you feel tall? Your only 1 inch taller than him.... dennis says on 25/Mar/08
personally, i think you're all bonkers...talking about whether a girl would choose between a 5'7 guy or a 6'1 guy. Choosing men is dependant on a variety of things such as:
height, wealth, personality, looks, religion, personal hygiene, status, friends, age, prospects, career, child compatability etc ad infinitum...
only a character from a cartoon (2 dimensional) would choose only one of these... ladybug says on 25/Mar/08
according to these photos either tom is 5'8 or glen is 5'7. how strange that glen has become a celeb of sorts on this forum at least. a minor one but a celeb nonetheless. glenn says on 25/Mar/08
doug-i get autographs for a living.thanks for being on the site.anonymous is hysterical.havnt never met tom.i think i snuck in an inch at around 22.i had childhood asthma too.maybe somewhat mild.but all of my childhood friends are in the 5-7 to 5-9 range,so i dont feel leftout.and a few from 5-4 to 5-6 as well.none over 5-9.none.childhood friends are the keywords though. Leung says on 25/Mar/08
Joe Cool, you are being hilarious, he is already 45 now, he is not going to shrink 2 inches in the next 5 years. My bet is that 5 years from now Cruise is still going to be the same height. kln says on 24/Mar/08
well my neighbor who was also my classmate in highschool was 5'5 at age 18, he had a beard and very deep voice, he is now 19 about 5'10, i know his father father was 6'1 so maybe thats why, maybe he will keep growing i don't know, but its wierd to me because this guy had a friking beard, looked way older than me and still grew taller, i looked younger and i didn't grow, so i don't know what to believe anymore, but i know that its possible to grow taller very late when its genetic, but i don't think you can intentionally make your bones grow longer. i know it sucks to be/feel short Kevin says on 24/Mar/08
Lmao...Tom Cruise makes me feel tall. I am 16 and 5'8, I hope I can grow to 5'10 which is average height here in the States. Anonymous says on 24/Mar/08
5'8-5'10 is average for American men, 5'3-5'5 for women. Tom Cruise is 5'5-5'6 (could be less), which is pretty short for a guy and if he was 5'7, he would be still consider close to average at least like a normal male height at least. Think about it Nicole Kidman is 5'11 and she towered over him, no way Tom Cruise is at least 4-5 inches shorter than Nicole. I don't know, he doesn't look 5'7 at all, I seen 5'7 guys a couple inches taller than him. vibram says on 24/Mar/08
Some men continue to grow into their 30's. Look at the Karate Kid - he was 23 when he played the 1st part and 28 in the last! He played a 15/16yo juvenile. I think if you don't start shaving until after 25, and your face looks young like a teen, then I think you could develop for another 5-10 years yet. Marcelo C. says on 24/Mar/08
Undarfast: As far as I know (medicine and science considered), a human being could grow up to the age of 22 aprox. (mainly for men, as women grow up to the age of 18/20 years old). Yet, try to get other opinions. Doug says on 24/Mar/08
UDARFAST if your a later bloomer puberty wise you can some guys grow when they are 20 and ending puberty. But Tom Cruise also wears lifts too. Also Glenn can I ask impersonally what your job is (related to this?) and how you meet all of these celebs? Just wondering, but thanks for the info on this site. UDARFAST says on 24/Mar/08
Can you grow after 20?????? do you guys know? Joe Cool says on 23/Mar/08
idk but if he was 5-7 or 5-8 he'll shrink around age 50 so he'll go down to 5-5 or 5-6, p.s. nicole kidman burned him kinda with the "finally i can wear heals" comment Anonymous says on 23/Mar/08
Spungo, you're wrong, he's not 5'9, he's shorter than that, and he's not 5'7-5'8 listed either, his true height might be 5'6-5'6.5 tops. He might be smidge over 5'7 with his shoes on. g says on 23/Mar/08
well Jim , respiratory illness at young age is a facto0r on your height.
So I think cigs are an impact , I could have been 1 or 2 inches taller If I hadnt had asthma when I was a child. Jim says on 22/Mar/08
GSP
I doubt cigs have any impact on height. and FYI lifting weights has no impact on stunting your growth whatsoever. If you look at professional athletes, all they do is workout and train for their life. However if you lift incorrectly or lift too much for you to handle, that can cause an injury to your back that could result in a stunth growth, but lifting alone has no correlation with height. You might have a bad posture that could very well make you lose a inch or two. Hang from a bar a few minutes a day as that will help straighten out your spine. Go to the gym and go to the machine where the cables and pullup bar is and just hang from it after your workout. You could get a good inch or 2 inchs back from a curve spine after a while. Also I heard intense biking helps the legs grow. As long as your growth plates havent closed yet, you can add on height. Calcuim and Amino Acids are crucial when it comes to growing as well. So you might as well give it a try and measure yourself after every few weeks and see if theres any results. You have to be patient though, as intaking large amount of nutriotion that will help you grow doesnt show right away, as it make take even a few years before you see results. Even if you dont lgain any height, its good for your body anyways, so you might as well try it. rulen says on 22/Mar/08
yeah he is about 171. I saw him in a restaurant and he was like me. Iīm also 171.
Tall girls donīt like me and i also donīt like them... but the girls about 155 - 175 are very interested... all girls say iīm very pretty but short ^^ .
Everybody say i could be a real model and could have all girls when i would be 10 cm taller. but what you wanna do ... there are many bigger men but they are ugly...
so i had to quit very much contacs with women who are a bit taller than me... I had to break some hearts but the humans donīt like to see a man with a taller girl
thatīs why I also donīt like big girls near to me sven says on 22/Mar/08
gsp i have 29-30 inches legs...where do u read that average leg height is 32-34?
I think legs must misured from hip to ankle....if i measure my leg from hip to ankle are 36.2 in GSP says on 22/Mar/08
Jim yeah i very well might have stunted my growth. I smoked heavy both weed and cigs from 15 on and lifted heavy weights..skipped meals.. was stressed ect. Probably screwed myself out of an inch or two. I just wish my lower leg was 2 inches longer..Actually 1-2inches there and perhaps 1 more inch in my spine an i would be perfect height. O well. iNsecure says on 22/Mar/08
i find hard to believe many girl dont drooling on a tallest guy like the one in Nba or Guiness World Record but they are more prefering a 5'11 Brad Pitt,Tom Cruise,Leonardo and other Celeb that are shorter than Nba. Jim says on 21/Mar/08
and also GSP
maybe you stunted your growth? Did you have a huge injury regarding the spine area when you were younger or not didnt get enough nutritions? signs of a stunted growth are short legs and one limb being longer then the other, or just looking disporportional all together. Jim says on 21/Mar/08
GSP
I really wouldnt advise wearing lifts, think of the embarrassment if you get caught, and it wearing lifts is very prone to getting caught. When you go to someones house and they ask you to take your shoe off, and they see your 3 inches shorter all of a sudden....Seriously go to a athletic shoe store like finish line and buy the thickest insole. Look for the ones labeled high arc. and Buy a pair of timberlands. You could get a good 2 inches, maybe a little more even, without any lifts with that. GSP says on 21/Mar/08
Jim
Thanks for your reply. I think I have short legs. They are only 30 inch inseam at best. Most people seem to be 32-34. The most I would ever consider wearing is a 1.5 inch lift. So 2.5 inch total over barefoot. I dont reallt care that much though Im a decent height. Just a little irritating being a little below average when I was actually like 4 inches over average height when I was 13 lol. Damn you early puberty lol. Chris175 says on 21/Mar/08
yeah spungo he wears lifts giving him a footwear advantage, he is probably closer to 5-7 Jim says on 21/Mar/08
to GSP, Im not sure if I hit puberty late or early. its tricky for me because the last time I grew was about sophmore year . However I didnt get any facial hair until I was 17 and I got my first acne pimple at the age of 19. I dont know if that relates more to genes though because both of my parents have really good skin. My mom is 57 and the oldest age estimate I heard recently was 40. When I was small I did play alot of sports and I ate like 5 times a day as I had a very fast metabolism. I might have a really realyl late growth spurt, who knows, I might get lucky. And GSP, if your only 5 foot 9 but have long legs and a good proportion upper body, you`ll give the illusion of being a few inches taller then you really are. Alot of shorter guys have stumpy legs and have a big head and neck which makes them look really goofy. If you look simon cowell, he make good examples of short people who have bad proportion. however if you look at someone like mark walhberg and matt damon, they both have really good porpotion, even if mark has a huge upperbody, his legs are good length and his head is normal size. So my advice to you gsp, if you do have stumpy legs, dont wear shorts, wear jeans. Go get a pair of timbalands,and put a thick insole in it. That way when someone sees you have insole in your shoe, you can use athletes foot as a excuse. Even the thickest insoles will probably add a few cms at most, but its alot better then getting caught with a 3 inch lift in your shoe. Also, if the weather is nice try to wear a jacket or a hoodie as much as possible as they will make you appear taller. I hope that helps man. Spungo says on 20/Mar/08
Tom looks taller than the 5'8" guy in both pictures. I say Tom Cruise is 5'9". |
