James how does Cruise look 5'9" in that picture next to Chris Rock who is clearly kneeling in. We don't even know if Cruise is in lifts. Katie has about 2-3 inches on him there with weaker posture too(although she might be in heels).
Parker says on 7/Nov/09
Aleks says on 6/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
James , WTF Glenn was not that fat ! He said he weighed 190 lbs , sure thats overweight for a guy that is barely 5'7 , but its not like hes SUPER Obese ! Im a legit 5'6 guy and I look pretty good at about 175 lbs ! Im not that weight now , but that is a good weight for me because I use to work out at that weight ! The diffrents between Glenn being measured means crap , unless Glenn was Super Obese and poor posture ! Aleks says on 6/Nov/09

6' 1" for Willis probably was to support a photo G doesn't want seen of a pre '94 G getting his 5' 6" (if that) self getting owned by 5". It supports a 5' 8" G-ster. I guess he forgot his Iron Maiden booties. The Rob figure is good to go, just add ketchup to the fries and ignore the guy in the Volvo snoring. James says on 6/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.

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

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

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?

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

Before Glenn was measured (and proven wrong) most people agreed with his 5-8 listing.
Now if G saw Cruise being the same height as him, that means Cruise is most likely 5'6½" or 5'6¾".

Aleks he does look 5'8 in your pic because in those heels Katie Holmes would be 6ft. Parker says on 19/Oct/09
Parker says on 11/Oct/09
valeri says on 10/Oct/09
and there's substantial proof to cruise being a flat 5'7.
Is there? I've been on this site for 4 years but must have missed it.
Just thought I'd repeat my post of 11th October, because the statement still stands. Aleks says on 19/Oct/09
His body proportions are way too small for him to be over 5'7".

You see a 5-foot-8 man here?
I seriously don't. burby says on 18/Oct/09
I can hear Frank2 right now:
Frank2: 5'9" in Portmans, did he have a wedge in there? JJ says on 16/Oct/09
TELLEM That's a max 2 inch difference dude, I wouldn't say look how short he looks. Now Schneider on the other hand... TheMan says on 15/Oct/09
Sandler might be closer to 5'10". Duece looks 5' in this photo could be sloped ground. Aleks says on 15/Oct/09
Sandler is bending, yet, he is at least a full inch taller. Cruise is having a military posture. James says on 15/Oct/09
For starters Adam Sandler is 5'10 and next to Pitt the camera angel is weird as well.
Also he only looks a solid 1 inch under Duvall Parker says on 15/Oct/09
Your right Tellem, he looks 2 inches shorter than Adam Sandler.........hang on, what's Rob got Adam Sandler listed at?? Hmmmmmm. Brad says on 15/Oct/09
Breaker breaker 1-9 we got ourselves a Portman convoy this here is da Frank2 rubber duck, copy? Frank2 rubber duck yeah I see a pair of blue Portmans on a bald ponytailed guy holding a big bag of pick guards and drumheads, over? That's a roger, he's all wet in front on The Plaza coming in at 5 feet nine in Portman. TELLEM says on 15/Oct/09
look how short he looks next to 5'9 adam sandler: Click Here TELLEM says on 15/Oct/09
if cruise was 5'8, then he wouldn't look so short next to a 5'10 man like brad pitt: Click Here
didn't cruise wear lifts to get closer to brad pitts height?

2 inches shorter than 5'9 robert duvall: Click Here
Click Here James says on 15/Oct/09
Brad lol and that was such a long time ago as well. I am suprised you can remember what you said to glenn all that time ago. Parker says on 15/Oct/09
Love it Tellem - You think Cruise is 5'7.5, but the possibility of him being a half inch taller is a joke!! - you've given me the best laugh I've had in ages. Thankyou my friend
All the Best. TELLEM says on 15/Oct/09
your right parker, i've now realized that cruise does look more than half inch taller than glenn. more like .75 inch taller than 5'6.75 glenn. so that makes tom cruise 5'7.5 not 5'8 like you say. cruise is probably in lifts aswell. 2 inches shorter than 5'9 ed harris. 5'8 for cruise is a joke. Brad says on 15/Oct/09
Glenn: "I'm 5' 8". Brad '06: "Yer 5' 7" and 5' 6.5" in all your pictures". Glenn: "Rob, I'm telling you, if he continues saying that stuff I want him banned I'm serious...". He's getting owned by a 5' 8" Cruise because he's never seen 5' 7.5" in his life. He wears Portmans because he is short. Will says on 15/Oct/09
Mr. Tom Cruise is 5'7 1/2" tall. At the age of 47, he is not that tall. But all the white men who are 6 feet tall and over are regarded as big and tall. Tom falls into the shorter category of men's height. Tom wore 4 inch lifts in his shoes and still looked short. He still did not look 5'10" even with his added lifts on. No, Tom Cruise is not 5 feet 9 inches tall. He only looked 5'8 1/2" even with his normal one and a half inch men's dress shoes on. I know as a fact that Tom wears a size 9 US men's shoe. So his feet are of average size. burby says on 14/Oct/09
Glenn: I'm 5'8"
Tom: Negative Ghostrider your Portmans are full...
This is a height site, wearing boots ruins height gauging and perception. James says on 14/Oct/09
Aleks has kind of got a point Parker says on 14/Oct/09
TELLEM says on 13/Oct/09
thanks for the pic rob, he doesn't look 5'8 next to glenn.
LOL Tellem, your words about only seeing what you want to see are coming back to haunt you. Rob has deliberately posted a link showing the start of Cruise's hairline to top of his head is 2 inches, and Glenn's about a 1/2 inch, but you don't think he looks 5'8 next to Glenn.
People see what they want to see - you never spoke truer words. Shawn says on 14/Oct/09
Atleast an inch, 1.2 inches if Cruise stood straighter in the Glenn pic. Don't just look at the top of their heads. Look at the shoulders, head, and eye levels. I remember in the early 90s shot, Cruise looked even taller than Glenn than in the shot Rob posted. Footwear is probably equal, with Glenn's boots. Aleks says on 14/Oct/09
miko says on 13/Oct/09
Cruise had height on Glenn, and it's more than possible that Glenn had the footwear advantage, we all know about his Portmans.
And how do you figure Cruise wasn't wearing monster lifts himself? Brad says on 14/Oct/09
Glenn wore those to gain height, they were 2" at the lowest. You don't go a few years not telling anybody on this forum you wear stuff like that in photos or are 5' 6.5" in photos. James says on 14/Oct/09
Cruise always looked like an average height guy next to Letterman. RisingForce says on 14/Oct/09
I don't see the big deal about the "Portmans". So Glenn was photographed wearing boots? Is it illegal to wear boots? Last I checked many people wear boots for reasons other than gaining height. There were also pictures of Glenn in 1.1" Adidas from the day he met Robert Downey Jr.
The "Portmans" were a pair of boots that add about 1.75" and that style of boot is available in just about any shoe or boot store. I don't know why people are acting like those are Stallone elevators. TELLEM says on 13/Oct/09
i can buy 5'7.5 for tom cruise but thats it. he isn't 5'8. and i'd bet more money hes 5'7 flat like frank 2 has said. TELLEM says on 13/Oct/09

thanks for the pic rob, he doesn't look 5'8 next to glenn. TELLEM says on 13/Oct/09
thats correct parker. you put ben stiller at 5'6.5 to add your 5'8 tom cruise claim when you can't explain why 5'5 max dustin hoffman in sandles was real close to ben stiller's height in shoes? James says on 13/Oct/09
Yeah that i remember that link. As I said around 1.5 over 5'6.5-5'6.75 glenn which would make Tom Cruise just about 5'8.
Hold on a sec didn't glenn say Tom Cruise was on his tip toes in that pic? miko says on 13/Oct/09
Cruise had height on Glenn, and it's more than possible that Glenn had the footwear advantage, we all know about his Portmans. Parker says on 13/Oct/09
Glenn and Rob, 1.5 inch measured difference

Cruise and Glenn

Looks a solid inch difference to me. Rob G says on 13/Oct/09
I see max one 1" difference, maybe more like 0.75". TELLEM says on 13/Oct/09
1-1.5 inch over glenn is ridiculous. it was a quarter to a half inch MAX over glenn. like i said, ppl only see what they want to believe.
[Editor Rob:
remember I posted this link early in the year: Here.] Parker says on 13/Oct/09
TELLEM says on 12/Oct/09
LOL it wasn't an inch parker. c'mon....you only see what you want to believe.
A bit unfair Tellem - its not just me who saw Cruise an inch taller than Glenn - the Editor,ACG,Shredder,Rising,Brad,James.......are you saying we all see what we want to see? - But you don't? Aleks says on 13/Oct/09
Glenn said Cruise was the same height as him, so if you think Cruise is 5-8, you must still believe Glenn is 5-8 too. James says on 13/Oct/09
In glenns pic from 2001 I remember that Cruise would have had around 1.5 inches on glenn if he stood straighter.
By the way what has happened to Leonari? Rob G says on 13/Oct/09
James says on 12/Oct/09
This is like how people wan't Brad Pitt to be 5'10 even though he is probably closer to 5'11.
Pitt IS 5'10" James, no exuses, barefoot shot with Paltrow says it all.
IMO Cruise wasn't full inch over Glenn, but who of those two had bigger shoes?:-). If I remember correctly he didn't look more than 1-1,5" under Holmes in their barefoot picture. I say 5'7.5" suits him well. Again barefoot picture says it all. RisingForce says on 13/Oct/09
Nope Brad, you're wrong. Glenn's lowest measurement wasn't even 5'6.5". the shredder says on 13/Oct/09
I just watched The Outsiders , and even then he did not look as short as 5'7 , He was even taller then C.Thomas Howell and no way was Ponyboy 5'7 max in that movie ! Brad says on 12/Oct/09
As Rob's listing is okay with me. I don't care about 1/4". He has military posture. Look, Glenn is 5' 6.5" below that pre '94, of course Cruise eats him up by an inch at least. TELLEM says on 12/Oct/09
LOL it wasn't an inch parker. c'mon....you only see what you want to believe. Anonymous says on 12/Oct/09
"Mr. Tom Cruise is 5'7 1/2" tall. He is not even close to being 5 feet 8 inches tall. Tom is just a man of average height."
If hes 5'7.5 then how exactly is he "not even close" to 5'8? Dumbass. James says on 12/Oct/09
This is like how people wan't Brad Pitt to be 5'10 even though he is probably closer to 5'11. Parker says on 12/Oct/09
TELLEM says on 11/Oct/09
how about the one next to glenn? parker, you've been here 4 years, how the hell did you miss that one?
I didn't, like the editor, I thought Cruise looked about an inch taller than Glenn in both pics. Of course I don't know about what footwear either were wearing, or pavement, but not withstanding that, Cruise looked to be between Glenn's height and the editors height (comparing Glenn with Rob, and then Cruise) - about 5'73/4 in fact, as listed.
derek d says on 12/Oct/09
Parker, cruise is obv just wearing lifts with him lol.
How do you know...were you there when Cruise put his shoes on LOL. RisingForce says on 12/Oct/09
Has everyone forgotten about the barefoot picture of Tom and Katie? Tom is taller than 5'7" flat. Rob has him listed perfectly. derek d says on 12/Oct/09
Parker, cruise is obv just wearing lifts with him lol. Aleks says on 11/Oct/09
He probably wears elevator shoes too. TELLEM says on 11/Oct/09

Yep next to that guy Cruise looks at least 5'8. Parker says on 11/Oct/09
Here's a guy on youtube who claims he's exactly 5'7, stood with Cruise.

Mr. Tom Cruise is 5'7 1/2" tall. He is not even close to being 5 feet 8 inches tall. Tom is just a man of average height.

Frank2 was right. Lots of irrational people suffering from illusions of to Cruise being 5'8 when one glimpse at that guy,even in his movies clearly show that he doesn't possess the body proportions of a 5'8 man. Now roberyt downey jr,maybe,cruise,clearly not. At a height of 5'7-5'8 an inch makes a considerable difference in body proportions,and there's substantial proof to cruise being a flat 5'7. As Frank2 said it best "I'm off this looney tunes site" peace Shawn says on 10/Oct/09
Not surprised Parker. On this site, I would say he and Stallone are the two most debated heights. James says on 10/Oct/09
Brad is not quite a foot taller than Cruise. I think in the evening Tom Cruise would be 5'7.25 though. Parker says on 10/Oct/09
These debates go round and round. Trust the editor. When I came to this site in 2005, I thought Cruise was 5'6, Rob had him at 171. Since then Rob has increased him to 172. I've seen enough photographs and heard enough reputable eye witness accounts to agree with him. A smidge under 5'8, or a strong 5'7, describe it however you want. He's between 5'7 and 5'8. The majority of other sites have him at 5'7 which is close enough. This is one of the few sites that argues over 1/2 and 1/4 inches in height.
One thing for sure though, there seems to be an obsession about his height. Apparently the phrase 'How Tall is Tom Cruise' is searched on average 917 times a day.

A friend of mine was at a movie premiere and walked next to Tom for a minute, before the bodyguards got between them. My friend is 5' 7" and said he was looking Cruise straight in the eye, that he was exactly the same height. Aleks says on 10/Oct/09
Spielberg is 5'7", Cruise is shorter, what else do you need? anonymous says on 9/Oct/09
if you get measured by a doctor and your 5'8. your 5'8. TELLEM says on 9/Oct/09
brad's a foot taller than tom cruise. i would trust a guy whos a foot taller for height estimations, i'd go with someone whos a lot closer to cruie's height than brad is. several ppl who have seen tom cruise on here, including frank2 say hes 5'7 flat.look at him w/ glenn. glenn used to state 5'8.5 for tom cruise when glenn used to think he was a 5'8 man. the guy wears lifts which is the reason he appears "5'8, 5'9" and the height inflations on other actors is the reason hes pegged at 5'8. hes 5'7. James says on 9/Oct/09
TELLEM call me slow but what makes you think Tom Cruise is only 5'6 range or 5'7? In pics he looks 5'8 or even 5'9 and sometimes 5'7 at the lowest.
Even Brad thinks Tom Cruise is 5'8. TELLEM says on 9/Oct/09
well then what is 5'8 james??? because he obviously isn't that height. i would call it a FARCE. James says on 9/Oct/09
Any pics you have with Cruise stunt man? Stunt Man says on 9/Oct/09
Ive worked with tom he is a solid 5,7 thats it. John P says on 8/Oct/09
Cruise at 5'11, you gotta be kidding me. Thats actually a pretty good height for a guy. James says on 8/Oct/09
5'9 is a farce 5'8 isn't TELLEM says on 8/Oct/09
watching the firm last night, and next to 5'9 ed harris he was clearly 2 inches shorter. anon25 says on 8/Oct/09
I think he's 5'7 1/2. It's too bad this guy gets such a bad wrap, even though it's his fault due to his bizarre behavior regarding Scientology. He's a good actor and looks amazing for 47 years old - he looks like he's in his early 30s.
Criticizing guys who wear lifts is silly; higher height makes guys look better, and Tom's appearance is a huge part of his business as an actor. Many people change their appearances in far more draconian ways, including dangerous surgeries. James says on 7/Oct/09
The most Tom Cruise could be is a solid 5'8 but of course he is a weak 5'8. Out of bed on a very good day possibly 173-174cm for Cruise. TELLEM says on 7/Oct/09
5'7 is correct, 5'8 is a farce. TELLEM says on 7/Oct/09
5'7 is correct, 5'8 is a farce. Aleks says on 7/Oct/09
Lol. Cruise at 5'11".
We're not going anywhere, guys. Clay says on 7/Oct/09
Dan, Cruise wears lifts to make him look taller and in that movie they used camera tricks to make him look taller also. He is no more than 5'7. 5'11 for him is beyond lunacy. Shecky says on 7/Oct/09
Pfft. My wife attended the play his wife was in. He walked right past her, and my wife attests that she, at 5'5", was visibly taller than he. Draw your own conclusions. James says on 7/Oct/09
TELLEM I don't think there looked over 6 inches between them in the Wedding Crashers. In fact in pictures I'd say there looks 6 inches tops between the 2. Parker says on 7/Oct/09
Even if Stiller was 5'6, it still puts Cruise closer to 5'8 than 5'7. I wouldn't sweat it James, people believe what they want to believe. Trust the editor with most height estimations, he's pretty good. TELLEM says on 6/Oct/09
James says on 6/Oct/09
Aleks says on 6/Oct/09
Wilson isn't 5'10½" either. Try 5'9", 5'9½".
Guess Vince Vaughns 6'3
WATCH wedding crashers. there's more than 6 inches between vaughn and wilson Dan says on 6/Oct/09
Tom is taller than 5'7"! How tall is Cameron Diaz, like 5'9" or something? Well I was watching "Vanilla Sky" the other night and she was in a scene with Tom. She came into his room with a blanket wrapped around herself and wearing 4inch heels. She walked over to Tom and he was TALLER than her by several inches.
I'd say 5'11". Either that, or Cameron needs a downgrade. James says on 6/Oct/09
Aleks says on 6/Oct/09
Wilson isn't 5'10½" either. Try 5'9", 5'9½".
Guess Vince Vaughns 6'3 TELLEM says on 6/Oct/09
then explain why he was barely taller than a 5'5 dustin hoffman in sandles? Aleks says on 6/Oct/09
Wilson isn't 5'10½" either. Try 5'9", 5'9½". I KNOW I\'m right says on 5/Oct/09
Some dumb people on here who don't know jack. Tom Cruise...5'8" Ben Stiller also 5'8" and Tom Cruise next to him, Tom seems taller. But maybe lifts then. Woody Harrelson, and Jamie Foxx ar 5'10", and Owen Wilson is 5'9". Ben Stiller next to Ricky Gervais..the same height. Gervais has said he's 5'8" more than once. If anyone disagreed with me. Well, I know I'm right. James says on 5/Oct/09
Thats silly no was is he only 5'6 max. He's not dwarfted by 5'10.5 Owen Wilson either. TELLEM says on 5/Oct/09
stiller isn't 5'6.5. hes 5'6 max. a 5'7 tom cruise w/ trememdous posture had a 5'6 terribly slouched ben stiller by 1.5 inches. James says on 5/Oct/09
I thought Stiller was 5'8 and Robert De Niro 5'9 when I saw Meet the Parents. |
