At wake-up from a Volvo. Imagine 7 hours criss-crossing midtown after just getting there from another borough with his bag of tricks. Rising is correct: weak 5' 8". Katie is a solid 5' 9".
Cruise says on 20/Nov/09
Clay - On the lowest of the two heights Rob measured Glenn, he was just a fraction over 5'6.5" and that was probably after he had a long rest in the car. If you think that second measurement Rob took was a fracton off 5'7" then it is you who are making yourself look a fool, big time!! Clay says on 20/Nov/09
Glenn's lowest height of the day (not to mention with spine strain) was 5'6.75, or a fraction off of 5'7. Stop making yourself to look like a fool Brad! Anonymous says on 20/Nov/09

William H Macy and Tom Cruise in same Photo.William Macy has been Regularly quoted about 5'9" . Tom cruise Easily looks 1.5 or 2.0 inches shorter
This is premier of Magnolia. Brad says on 19/Nov/09
Runt n roll: correct, like Priestley, Vin, Ice Cube, Matt etc....you know what he's gonna be in. Yes James, but Sal's Mickey-D's runs woke him up in the Volvo bed and he did have to go to the hotel restroom as Rob saw looking down upon the street. Ooops, I hear that damn hyena again at the Bronx Zoo, he saw an Emile Hirsch photo. Munster Koo-Koo clock: "Awwwk! NY sandals!". miko says on 19/Nov/09
With Glenn in the 2" Portmans, he probably had the footwear advantage on Cruise! RisingForce says on 19/Nov/09
After seeing dozens of pictures of Tom and Katie including them barefoot, the only way Tom is 5'7" flat is if Katie is closer to 5'8" than 5'9".
To those of you who think he's 5'7", can you please provide some good pictures where he actually looks that short? I haven't seen many. His 5'9" claim is ridiculous and I wouldn't give him a solid 5'8" either, but he's clearly a 5'7.5", weak 5'8" guy. James says on 19/Nov/09
Also on day two of the meeting if you look at the pics glenn litralley looks like he has just woken up. Brad says on 19/Nov/09
I met a laughing hyena but he was the first hyena in history to read english and he died from laughing after reading old Glenn posts "Bruce is 6' 1", Sly is 5' 10.75", I'm 5' 8" by so & so". Cruise had the G and he lost the footwear battle with him. Rob's listing is A-OK. Brad says on 19/Nov/09
Correct Shawn. I've met some chimpanzees, not the mail carrier. runt says on 18/Nov/09
Brad says on 13/Nov/09
"Glenn wasn't close to Cruise's height. They weren't side by side. Glenn had his massive Porties on, Cruise can't compete with that garbage G wore standing outside Madison Square Garden as Natalie Portman walked by, those were like blue Munster boots. Edge in footwear: G. Rob's listing is as close one can get. The G, have you met your cab driver?. Wilson 6'? Stiller must be in Portmans plus wedge."
LOL as usual. It's important to note for those who weren't here during the G era that he never submitted a full-length photo and often claimed to be wearing trainers. He was exposed when someone found the Natalie Portman photo elsewhere on the net. They posted it and it was the only full length celeb photo of G ever seen--and he just happened to be wearing big boots?!? And he didn't even decently own Natalie Portman! Joseph says on 18/Nov/09
I would agree with Shawn, that in those pieces of footware, Cruise is at least and inch - if not more - taller than Glenn. Given that Glenn is portmanized, and Cruise has a slighty more refined taste in shoes, he could be at least 173. linke says on 18/Nov/09
I doubt tom is anything over 5'7 barefoot. Shawn says on 17/Nov/09
I'd urge everyone to really LOOK at the picture of Glenn and Cruise. Cruise's shoulders, chin, and eye level are all higher than Glenn's. He has a slightly, only slightly, more relaxed posture. To top it off, Glenn is a bit closer to the camera. That's almost an inch and a half difference. Cruise being on his tip-toes is utter BS.
Brad, have you ever met your postman? Brad says on 17/Nov/09
Correct Shawn, you can't miss a guy with that pony-tale n hairdoo from a window. He wasn't stupid, he knew he was toast after hours on his feet. The near 5' 6.75" measure after this car show and especially the photo with Jenny spelled doom. He never came back for another. Nope, never met Rakim or saw the pair, I split NYC area by '84. josh says on 17/Nov/09
brad i know this is random but have you met rakim before? James says on 16/Nov/09
I wonder how tall glenn would have measured if he was out for 12 hours walking around Manhatten? Dylan says on 16/Nov/09
G knew his own height so he must have known that even sleeping as long as Rip Van Winkle in a car wouldn't have made him 5'8". Brad says on 16/Nov/09
G admitted he had a car downstairs, He doesn't own one and uses mass transit. It was a sleeper loaner to get a wake-up height as he knew his height was under 5' 7" hours out from The Bronx. The third measurement would have crucified the little guy, he had enough, he got outted. Shawn says on 16/Nov/09
James, Rob told us on day two of their meeting and height measurement, he saw Glenn (or if not him, someone who strongly resembled him) outside of the hotel window near the entrance of the hotel thinking he was coming up. Instead, Glenn walked into a car parked outside the hotel. Several hours later, Rob gets a call from Glenn saying he'd be coming up. Logically, it's safe to assume Glenn slept in the car in the hopes of achieving his maximum height and "fooling" Rob and all of us into believing he was 5'8". Unfortunately for him, it turned out his maximum height upon waking was 5'7 and 1/8th of an inch, and he didn't keep it long, as the shrinking in 20 minutes showed.
Rob, if there's any major discrepancies in how I related the story, please correct me. Metric says on 16/Nov/09
James - You should direct that question to Rob. Parker says on 16/Nov/09
What I find astounding when I read these threads, is that Rob throws up a photograph emphasising without words that Cruise is a min 1.5 inches taller than Glenn ( In the photograph, no idea who has what footwear on)
Click Here
Yet people are still saying Glenn was taller or the exact same height in the photograph - Its true what Tellem once said - people will see what they want to see. James says on 16/Nov/09
Looks more like 2.5 here

Woulden't rule out Brad Pitt wearing lifts but Tom Cruise of course is just likely to wear big shoes as well. RisingForce says on 16/Nov/09
The gap looks smaller than it is because they're mid-stride, James. And mid-stride pictures aren't accurate when it comes to comparing height.
Here's a shot of them standing that night. Click Here
The angle is a bit low, possibly favoring Pitt a bit, but Pitt looks close to if not 4 inches taller there. James says on 16/Nov/09
Brad how did this whole glenn sleeping a car rumour prior measurment start?
The higher angle might be making the gap look smaller here

mId - Oh Glenn was a nice guy alright, just so long as you didn't doubt his 5'8" claims, then it was "Rob ban this loser" or else he would give a torrent of abuse and threats challenging everyone to meet him face to face in the bronx. Considering he was such a little man, he must have had a death wish! Brad says on 16/Nov/09
Cruise tip-toeing with a 5 foot 6 and change guy who pestered him for autographs, don't think so. Might be Butch Patrick in that shot, not G. mId says on 16/Nov/09
if glen was about 5'7 in most of the pics and if he usually wore those shoes you can look at him in the pics as a 5'8 guy with normal shoes on. so in a way he was 5'8 in the photos when comparing other celebs to him.. ofcourse the celebs shoes can vary too and the fact that may of them sleep all day party at night.. meaning "morning" height :) anyway.. I miss Glenn here :/ I never had a problem with him.. I thought he was a nice guy. AKK says on 15/Nov/09

Even Glenn said Tom Cruise was his height or atleast a half inch taller. That would automatically put Cruise at 5'7". Also, in one of the shots of Glenn and Cruise, Glenn stated that Cruise tip toed. Anonymous says on 15/Nov/09

Just think, he wore those monsters and never told anybody. Nat' is 5' 2" tops, that's a 5' 6.5" guy in Portmans. G's bag of stuff is by the barricade. Throw up the Iron Maiden booties. Dylan says on 15/Nov/09
Thank you Burby! I would say the heel gives about 1.5" without whatever the inner sole gives. They didn't do much for Glenn in that photograph though, he looks shorter than ever! It seems laughable that he tried to get people banned for doubting his 5'8" claims. burby says on 15/Nov/09

Anonymous - Well said. I had no idea what Portmans were until I came on this site, the only Portman I have ever seen is Natlie! Brad seems certain they give a greater height advantage than lifts. Anonymous says on 15/Nov/09
can anyone post a link showing what "portmans" look like? I'm extremely curious given all this talk regarding Glenn's supposed footwear Brad says on 15/Nov/09
In that outfit? Naw, dress shoes, his stealth isn't that great, I've seen it. He'll wear whoppers with the Mrs.. G is in typical Porty-Priestleys which edge the Cruiser. Correct Burby, 5' 6.5" plus that head distance equals the Rob figure. Go meet him, you'll be surprised he isn't shrimpy like rumoured. Very military posture. Anonymous says on 15/Nov/09
"Again, G is in Portmans, Cruise most likely was in dress shoes with less height."
You really don't think Tom Cruise (the guy with all the money and the height complex possibly as a result of the media endlessly calling him short) might've been wearing custom lifts? Even his Airforce 1's that Rob says looks normal looks way bulkier than normal AF1's. I know this because i used to own a few pairs myself (high tops and mids) and they were never as chunky looking as the ones he wore. I don't just mean at the heel, the Airforce 1's he wore resemble the behemoths Kobe 2 in terms of sheer size and how large it looked on his body James says on 14/Nov/09
Well Brad who knows what Stiller has on here
Click Here
ALso half the time with Stiller he has crap posture
Click Here
As for Frank2 well he saw Colin Farrell at only 5'8 and Denzel Washington at a potential flat 6'2 nuff said. burby says on 14/Nov/09
Look at the photo Anonymous put up, Cruise has Glenn by about 1.5", when a person is 5'6.5" they get owned by the above. Glenn isn't edging Tom, Tom is owning Glenn. When a person is barely taller than a VERY short Emile Hirsch, they are quite short. Look at where the line is and the shape of their heads. Toms smile says it all. Brad says on 14/Nov/09
Frank2 met Owen and he had him by 2". Look at him with Stiller. With Vince....you know what he has on. Danimal says on 14/Nov/09
Clay says on 13/Nov/09
Brad how can you say G was 5'6.5 and then say Cruise is a weak 5'8? Glenn actually looked like he edged Tom if my mem. serves me correct.
Brad doesn't realize that he is doing EXACTLY what Glenn did. He is looking really foolish in the process, claiming Glenn is a 5'6.5" guy, yet turns around gives Cruise 5'8", when he was obviously the EXACT same height as a slouching Glenn... Comical indeed. You have no credibility with that statement Brad. NONE. Cruise - 5'6 3/4". Glenn - Same. Brad - Confused. James says on 14/Nov/09
Brad its intersting you don't think Wilson is 5'11
again here he is with Vince Vaughn who is very close to your height Brad
Click Here
He does look a good 5'11 there not really under. Brad says on 14/Nov/09
Again, G is in Portmans, Cruise most likely was in dress shoes with less height. Cruise was taller than a 5' 6.5" G. Cruise has slight head lean as well. G photos are a joke due to his footwear and "I'm 5 feet 8, tell him to stop saying I'm 5' 6.5" I'm serious!" height expert wisdom. Rob's listing is close enough to nailed. Maybe Cruise could get some Sly NYC sandals. Anonymous says on 14/Nov/09
Anonymous says on 13/Nov/09
Brad if Cruise is indeed 5'8" then wouldn't that put Glenn VERY close to that aswell? The pic of them two standing side by side show less than an inch in disparity.
No it doesn't - closer to 2 as Rob is trying to point out without words.

Anonymous Cruise had 1.5 on him not just 1 inch or less. Dylan says on 13/Nov/09
Anonymous has raised a good point. Cruise always wore lifts and according to Brad Glenn wore Portmans. Now whatever Portmans are, as I haven't a clue, though I am assuming they are some sort of boot with a higher than average heel, wouldn't the lifts and the portmans have cancelled each other out? Anonymous says on 13/Nov/09
Brad if Cruise is indeed 5'8" then wouldn't that put Glenn VERY close to that aswell? The pic of them two standing side by side show less than an inch in disparity. And yeah you're gonna say glenn was wearing portmans, but cruise probably had expensive custom lifts. James says on 13/Nov/09
Brad but Owen Wilson does look 6ft next to Vince Vaughn dosen't he? Brad says on 13/Nov/09
Actresses like to deflate because producers nag on taller actresses with short leads...a lot go on auditions without heels. Yes Dylan, a 5' 10.75" Sly made the G a happy guy. I never met my astronaut myself. Brad says on 12/Nov/09
Weak 5' 8", I'd agree with Rob's figure in a G NYC minute as well. Katie 5' 9", TC 5' 8". Dylan says on 12/Nov/09
Parker - Katie Holmes has given her height is 5'9" but she has also stated that she is 5'8" perhaps Cruise got her to add an inch to her height to make him look taller, we already know he exaggerated his height as 5'9" which is nonsense. Having said that, as I said in my last post, I will go along with what Brad says because he is usually correct. If it had been Glenn giving Cruise's height however, I would probably have deducted an inch or two as Glenn tended to inflate the heights of celebreties to make him look taller. Brad doesn't have to resort to that. James says on 12/Nov/09
Brad says on 12/Nov/09
G said Stiller was 5' 7" and Owen Wilson 5' 11". Stiller needs no comment, that's G in full glory inflate and Wilson has never been 5' 11" in his life, look at him with Stiller. Cruise eats up a 5' 6" Stiller by a duece
I disagree
Click Here Parker says on 12/Nov/09
Dylan says on 12/Nov/09
I don't see how you can tell the height difference in a photograph like that.
Dylan - Read Rob's article on how to measure a celebs height on the right. Top of head to eyes =4.5 inches. Have another look at the photograph.
Click Here
Use the big Guy's head in the background. Top of Katie's head lines up about 2/2.5 inches above the big Guy's eyes....Tom's about an inch. Allow 0.5 inch for Katie's heels and I would estimate about an inch difference in their barefoot height. So if Katie is 5'9, Tom is 5'8. If Katie is 5'8, Tom is 5'7.
Regardless of height, Tom in standard 1 inch footwear = Katie barefoot height. The height difference when she is wearing 2-4 inch heels, would be 2 or 3 inches i.e Tom's eyes would line up with her mouth as they do here:
Click Here
Its why I'm confident he was not wearing lifts that night - the same night he was looking 2 inches taller than Stiller
Click Here
I agree with Brad, he's close to 5'8, but no taller. Dylan says on 12/Nov/09
I have to admit that although I always believed Cruise to be 5'7" the fact that Brad claims he is 5'8" or thereabouts is bordering on changing my opinion. So far Brad has been very accurate on his height assessments with everyone on celeb heights, including Glenn and Brad never gives inches he deducts them if anything. So I have an open mind on Cruise's height. Brad says on 12/Nov/09
G said Stiller was 5' 7" and Owen Wilson 5' 11". Stiller needs no comment, that's G in full glory inflate and Wilson has never been 5' 11" in his life, look at him with Stiller. Cruise eats up a 5' 6" Stiller by a duece. Dylan says on 12/Nov/09
Parker - I didn't realise she was pregnant at the time of that photo but she definately looks it and as I say, Tom looks flabby! I don't see how you can tell the height difference in a photograph like that. When I was a kid they used to say the only way you can tell who out of two people are taller is to stand back to back. I notice from that picture her shoulders are quite a bit higher than Tom's. Brad says on 12/Nov/09

Only thing is, Stiller is nowhere near 5'7". He's 5'6" AT THE VERY MOST. I'd say he is 5'5½". Matthiew_- says on 11/Nov/09
Looks an inch to 1.5 inch taller than Jack Black on Jame's pic (considering posture issues ) ...
Jack Black IMO is 5'5.5 , but even guessing he is 5'6 like he is listed here that makes for a 5'7.5 Tom Cruise at best , and we all know that Tom is a classic lift wearer ... Parker says on 11/Nov/09
Dylan says on 11/Nov/09
I don't think you can tell his height in that picture of him and his wife. One thing is for sure though and that is they both look pretty flabby and overweight to me.
One thing you can tell is that he is only an inch shorter - as for being overweight, she was about 6 or 7 months pregnant Aleks says on 11/Nov/09
Well, maybe Cruise didn't wear flats either in this picture. Dylan says on 11/Nov/09

Take out the 1" sandal and Cruise put in 2 feet down posture and it is 1": he's 5' 8". G has the advantage, he wears Portmans or Priestleys. 1/2". 5' 6.5" and 1.5" is 5' 8". Look at Cruise's chin in line with G. Parker says on 11/Nov/09

Lifts do magic. Frank2 worked with him, and he was wearing incredibly high lifts. And he was still only 5'9" with them on.
Well if Frank2 said that (and I can't recall him doing so)he was contradicting himself. Frank2 always maintained Cruise was a flat 5'7 barefoot. That means in standard shoes he'd be a little over 5'8, and just under 5'9 with a small lift. If he was wearing 'incredibly high lifts' your talking about a 3 inch gain from barefoot, which would put Cruise at 5'10, not 5'9, according to Frank2 of course. I doubt Cruise has ever worn shoes that give him 3 inches from barefoot. the shredder says on 7/Nov/09

I don't mean to go off topic but I think if glenn lost weight he woulden't shrink so much during the day. If he was the right weight or slightly under weight for his height then he might have been measured at 5'7-5'7.25 for the measurment last April. Since 180 lbs is a big amount overweight for his heihgt? But I don't know if body weight has that much of a part to play in it all? Glenn would probably be too tied up with his job to hit the treadmill at the gym nowdays.
[Editor Rob: I doubt it would have made any difference if he was 20lbs lighter.] James says on 6/Nov/09
Brad well to be fair G could look near 5'8 with Kanye West.
Cruise looking 5'9 here
Click Here Brad says on 6/Nov/09
The Danimal questioning G on 1/22/06 about being 5' 8" with a 5' 3" Shania Twain should be awarded. You shoulda brought it on big time like me. He was 5' 6.5" and Ported out leaning in on a heeled Twain. G U-gotit. Shoulda brought it on brother, you saw his farce bro. One of my G spies named Tyler said he saw G recently in huge boots with a "santa bag of stuff, he really needs the money as he wholesales". Looked like hell, really chubby, dresses like bum.

On the special features disc of the MI3 film, Tom's co star Michelle Monaghan clearly states in an interview that she is 5'7" tall and that SO IS TOM! Is there really anymore doubt that he isnt over 5'7" tall unless propped up in super "Little Big-Man" booster boots? runt says on 5/Nov/09
Here's what bothers me about the 5'7.75" estimate: That could be a midday figure which puts Cruise at 5'8"+ in the morning, which puts him at 5'9.5" in flat shoes out of bed. Why would an undersized action hero with that kind of height only claim 5-9 early in his career? Especially one that wears lifts? We've got Bruce Willis at 5-11 claiming 6-1, we've got Robert Deniro at 5-8 being listed at 5-10. Doesn't it seem likely that a guy like Cruise at a weak 5-8 would claim 5-10? 5-9 is too small of a lie for a lift-wearing action hero who is 5-7.75 midday. James says on 5/Nov/09
Danimal the thing is though Cruise rarely looks a weak 5'7 in photos
Click Here Metric says on 5/Nov/09
Willis at 6-1 was un friggin believeable!! Glenn never did explain how he saw Arnold at 5-11 (which I believe) but Willis at 6-1 (which is pure manure) when in pics Arnold always towers Willis!???
Go Glenn, go! Brad says on 5/Nov/09
G laid out in a Volvo for a 1/2 a day for a 5' 7" figure. Put him 7 hours out with his bag and 180 pound frame criss-crossing NYC and you get 5' 6.5" tops. Cruise is a weak 5' 8" guy in photos, G is a solid 5' 6.5" in photos. Look at him getting destroyed by Jenny. Do the addition and we know Cruise isn't going to wear Portmans with a suit with the paps. You see Rob's listing, it is correct. G Unot ese. Danimal says on 5/Nov/09
5'6 3/4" (Glenn's EXACT height)...The crazy thing is the amount of time Brad obsesses about Glenn (who is long since gone)having never been over 5'6.5", he completely contradicts himself with Cruise's estimate and pulls as Rising Force, by stating he's OVER AN INCH taller than he actually is. Cruise is a WEAK 5'7" guy, JUST LIKE GLENN (G). Furthermore, this comes from a guy who is 6'6". NO WAY can anyone from that height accurately peg 5'7" from 5'8".
Tom is 5'7" on his BEST of days. On his worst, he dips below that mark. JUST LIKE GLENN (GGGGGG UNIT). Brad says on 5/Nov/09
G inflated to benefit his 5' 8" dreams. Portman to Portman with Emile Hirsch destroyed such logic. File under Willis at 6' 1" and I've only met my postman. James says on 5/Nov/09
Well Shredder in the pic I posted you can see that Clinton is virtually eye to eye with Clinton. the shredder says on 5/Nov/09
James , the W is shorter then Will Ferrell and its hard to judge him and Clinton , in some pics Clinton is taller ! Brad is right , The 6'3 W is what The G sees ! Brad says on 5/Nov/09
Cruise stood with lots of people I've known for 20 years, he's as Rob has listed or 5' 8" in military. 5' 7" is a joke, he had G clean by 1.5". TC ain't gonna wear that Portman-Priestley garbage on his feet...that's for sucker MC's. Folks, meet him someday, he stands like a statue of a Paris Island soldier. phelipebrazil says on 5/Nov/09
no way is he as high as 5'8, truste me, that's impossible! I know that cause I'm 5'8.5 and I met him in Rio few months ago,he was wearing sandals I could say he's 5'7 (with sandals). No more than 5'7. Anonymous says on 5/Nov/09
I don't know what the big deal is. We all know that he was shorter than his ex-wife Nicole Kidman, but he is not 'short' by any standard. Nicole Kidman is taller than the average man. 5'8'' is pretty average among the general population, especially among his generation (he is 47). Aleks says on 4/Nov/09
I see 5-8 men all the time, they don't stand out as small people. They never do.
I wonder how 6-6 Brad can accurately say Cruise is 5-8 by meeting him. Remember, the smallest 5-8 guy on earth also said Cruise was 5-8. Lozzer says on 4/Nov/09

you'd think five eight is a solid height, close to average, why worry. I'm even a little over 5'8 and it still seems kinda small. A true 5'8 isn't all that tall. You don't really get that solid feeling problably until you're like 5'10 Brad says on 4/Nov/09

Brad I believe your judgment as you seem to be a good judge of height, but what did Tom's shoes look like when you met him? Sorry if you have explained it here before. Brad says on 4/Nov/09
Will Smith at 6' 3" is something G would say to justify being 5' 8". Correct Dustin, ever see G in Portmans which he never mentioned? Parker says on 4/Nov/09
Aleks says on 2/Nov/09
You should reconsider, Cruise isn't 5'8" or anything close to it. Never been in his life. The 5'6¾" measurement from the late 80s seems accurate.
He already has Aleks = 4 years ago when I first came to the site Rob had Cruise at 171 - after viewing a plethora of photographs and personal sightings, he realised he was taller than Spielberg and put him up to 172. Aleks says on 3/Nov/09
Tom is no more 5'9" than Bruce Willis is 6'1". Aleks says on 3/Nov/09
I'd bet money Rob would be clearly taller than Cruise without lifts on.
Sadly, I'd be surprised if Rob had the chance to encounter Cruise anytime soon, even more if he could take a pic with him wearing flats. Stallone and Nicholson are true 5-8 guys.
If Cruise was really 5 feet 8 inches, he wouldn't feel the need to stand up like a soldier (ala Glenn next to Rob) all the time. Why would he be considered a small guy if he were this height? After all, isn't 5'8" pretty close to average? James says on 3/Nov/09
Belive it or not 6'3 isn't as far fetched as it seems, I don't think Will Smith is 6'3 of course but he at times he can look kind of close to it.

Cruise doesn't look close to 6 ft there. He's closer to the camera than Smith and about 4 inches shorter. Smith is at best, a weak 6'2" so Cruise looks like he's at best, a weak 5'10" there. Rob G says on 2/Nov/09
James, in the last two pictures he doesn't look 6ft to me. Solid 3 inches+ between him and Smith, he looks about 5'10"ish / 5'11" there. Brad says on 2/Nov/09

He's in football blades, and standing legs apart with relaxed posture. I think Rob's listing of 5'11.5 is spot on.
Now look at some pics with Cruise

David's leaning in a bit, so I would guess a 3inch difference there
Click Here
Again David leaning in, but looks a min 4 inch difference there. I know David was wearing some thick looking boots that night, so probably had some footwear advantage?

In most pics David does look to have 3 or 4 inches on Tom, so again I think Rob's etstimate of 172 for Tom is right on the button. the shredder says on 2/Nov/09

Shredder, check out the picture I found out Swayze and Tom Selleck where Swayze looks over 6 feet! It's on Patrick's page. the shredder says on 28/Oct/09
Matt Dillon most likely got taller , he was only in his teens in those movies , he could have been 5'10 for The Outsiders , then got taller as he got older because he looks 5'11 minimum ! I agree Patrick Swayze looks about 5'9.5 with Matt , but in the movie he was even taller then Rob Low !
Tom Cruise did not look that short in the movie , no shorter then C.Thomas Howell who most likely was about 5'8.5 when the movie was filmed , not saying that Tom is that height , Tom is 5'8 ! Not 5'7 or 5'9 ! James says on 27/Oct/09
