tom was in india recently , saw him in agra just pitty over ppl who say he is 5 ft 8 and below , he was definately 5 ft 9 if not more and i m confident he was 5 ft 9 bcoz i am myself 5 ft 9 and still very insecure with my height and always noticing other ppl height's , so i for sure definately know how 5 ft 9 looks like , he was wearing thick boot so was around 5ft 10 with them but no lifts bcoz i myself use lifts in my shoe therefore i know how somebodys foot will look with lifts..so ppl accept he is at the very very leat 5 ft 8.5 ...

About an inch taller than the G'ster. Sorry Danimal but its practically impossible for him to be anything under 5'7". The very least I could imagine for him is 171cm. There is a barefloot evidence to indicate he is nothing less than a strong 5'7" guy.

Same height as Glenn (former site contributor). Morning - a little over 5'7". During the day 5'6 3/4". Maybe 5'6.5" now at 50 years old. NO WAY is he even close to 5'8". He was the SAME HEIGHT as Glenn.

Shredder. I agree that the heel on his shoes is 1.5 inches, however, I am sure that they are elevator shoes which could account for around 2.75". Incidentally, I saw photo of Tom Cruise with Catherine Zeta Jones on the today show this morning, it was only head and shoulders so I have no idea about the footwear but she appeared to be about an inch taller than him.

you forgot one thing, we just can't be sure that Olga Kurylenko and Downey Jr. are 5'8, those are just Rob's guesses, and you can't compare male celebrities based on pics where are they in dress shoes or boots beacuse you don't know who is wearing lifts and who isn't

How can you be so sure that he didn't wear lifts in those boots?
He could , but like Rob said he would only be getting about 1/3 of inch more , why would he go through all that ?
rafa says on 14/Jun/12
the shredder Cruise is clearly under 5'8" barefoot.
He has looked 5'8.5 minimum in low cut shoes which would put him about 5'9.5 minimum if measured in shoes , with Rob saying would only be getting about 1 cm more if in lifts , also he has looked 5'8 in pics barefoot ... Top gun with 6'2 Antony Edwards and 5'10 Michael Ironside , with Katie barefoot looking just a bit shorter , only time he would look 5'7 is in bias pics that are not in his favor , which is rare , but him looking 5'7 does not mean he is the same with 5'9 or 5'10 ... 5'7 is just to short for him , but I would say If Olga is 5'8 bang on then that is max for him . Remember he can look over 5'9 with good posture and boots giving him about 2 cm more then people , a 5'8 even guy can still look pull it off , a 5'7 flat guy ? he would need 3 " heels which is not the case , under 5'7 ? ha ha .

Those shoes he is wearing in that photo with Olga certainly look like lifts to me.
LOL , looks like a 1.5 inch boot , which only gives 1 cm or 2 Cm over the normal ... Her at 5'8 would make her 5'8.5 in her shoes and him about or over 5'9 in his boots

Tom is no more then 5'8 , but not under about as listed , he can look an easy 5'8.5 or 9 with footwear advantage , if he looks 5'10 it most likely is lifts with posture or standing on a platform ... he looks on average the 5'9 that he claims , but has boots mostly , but can still look 5'8.5 easily with low cuts , a guy just 173cm max can still look 5'9 with footwear advantage , Rob and Brad to me are spot on a weak 5'8 , even though Rob is over 5'8 I think he might edge out Cruise by a bit ... Pics where he looks 5'8 people would say that he is in big lifts and get others saying 5'7 max , ... btw Olga is smoking !

I saw the same pictures (with Olga). Tom does not need to be upgraded, Olga needs to be downgraded. Her 5'8" comes from what was publicized by her modeling agency. Those heights are usually inflated.

Shaun said on 13/Jun/12
Yeah I agree, they are very close in height. Take away Cruise's footwear advantage and she are practically the same height. And she is a legit 5'8" I think as I remember Daniel Craig had to wear lifts in his scenes with her and Gemma Arterton and Kurylienko often barefoot to make the height difference more pronounced, Daniel Craig being 5'10" ish. There is a photo of the, walking in the desert and Kurylenko looks about 4 inches shorter than Craig in his lifts.

In looking at it I think Cruise has slight footwear advantage is is about a half inch taller so they could essentially be the same height, 5'7.75-5'8" range.

Here's an excellent one. With 5'8" Olga Kurylenko in flat shoes he's looking nearer 5'9". I doubt he's got much of a lift in those shoes they look pretty normal? If anything Olga could be 5'7" and Cruise exactly as listed here? Any thoughts Rob?

Putting 5'8" for Cruise would be extremely innacurate 5'7.75" isnt bad, althought I think 171.7 cms is more accurate

Well, Billy Connolly, who would be the first to piss take a top Hollywood actor of short stature and pretense, was incredulous when he met and worked with Cruise that he was subject to the short myth and yeah, most people who meet him say he is taller than the media had implied. But maybe his lifts are deceiving people. Proportionally I have to say he looks 5'7"-5'8".

Editor Rob a small lift is always very hard to tell, like a 1/4 or 1/3rd inch. Those kind of lifts can be put in most shoes.
but with normal shoes he does look about that much taller.

@Parker - No not kidding at all. I believe Rod is currently around 5'8". My point is why is it "ludicrous" for people to claim someone is shorter, but OK for them to claim they are taller.
The reason that 5'5 is ludicrous is when you see him with his 6'1 inch wife without her heels you can see he's clearly a minimum of 5'10.

The fact that you think he's 5'8 actually proves my point.
Apologies - I'm not posting any more Rod Stewart debates on Tom's page.

@Parker - No not kidding at all. I believe Rod is currently around 5'8". My point is why is it "ludicrous" for people to claim someone is shorter, but OK for them to claim they are taller.
The reason that 5'5 is ludicrous is when you see him with his 6'1 inch wife without her heels you can see he's clearly a minimum of 5'10.

The fact that you think he's 5'8 actually proves my point.

P.S. It obviously didn't help Rod's cause when he said he was "almost 1.56 metres tall" in a radio interview back in 2007. An obvious mistake, but you can't help wondering what he meant to say?

@Parker. Sorry, but, I think if you look at any of my posts you'll see that I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised by anything. I still don't buy all this old tosh about tall wives making anyone appear smaller than they actually are! Surely this site is about trying to get past that kind of rubbish.
Could there even be reverse psychology in operation? Like "of course he LOOKS short with her, but she is really tall".

After reading these posts I lost all the respect I had for Tom Cruise, whose performance in "A Few Good Men" I still consider to be the best performance Hollywood has ever produced. But to go from a Navy lawyer who taught us a great lesson about honor to an actor who would lower himself so much as to artificially enhance his height by wearing ridiculously elevated shoes, it's a long way.
I am 6'1" (185.5 cm) in the morning and 6'0.5" (184 cm) before bedtime, and I still wish I were a little taller, at least 6'2". However, I would never wear those shoes just so that the other people would think I'm taller. Even if everybody else thought I was 6'3", I would still know I'm only 6'0.5".
I wonder how Mr. Cruise feels at night before going to bed, knowing that he is at least four inches shorter than what his "image" has been showing us lately. He must be very miserable, I guess, and I pity him for this. It just goes to show you that people are no more and no less than what they make of themselves, that obsessions are the greatest force behind human actions in general, and that the old saying "people always want what they don't have" is true...

I was in Washington about a year ago and decided to take in the wax museum. The likeness of Tom Cruise was on display standing on the floor. I'm 5'10"and he was my height as I stood beside him. As I was leaving the museum I commented to the staff that I had heard that Tom Cruise was a short 5'7"and he seems to be a lot taller than what I had been told. They just said that all the celebrities were measured and that is their true measurements. I still have my doults about how true this is. It would be good to know.

@Parker says on 10/Feb/12 None of his 3 wives were less than 5'8 and often wore heeled shoes
I fail to see what impact that might have on any assessment of his height?
A tall woman with a shorter male tends to give people(especially the media) the perception that the man is short. You'd be suprised - Rod Stewart was once listed at a ludicrous 5'5 in some sections of the media.

Do you therefore conclude they must be taller than their listing? No - because "short" fits their screen persona. The real question to ask is why does Tom have to "be taller" than he actually is - its all about image and what the public will buy.

Well, those seem like pretty solid explanations, guys. I mean, a weak 5'8 is on the lower side of average/high end of short. In real life situations it wouldn't be a big deal.

I wonder how this whole myth started that the guy's really short.
None of his 3 wives were less than 5'8 and often wore heeled shoes. Then Top Gun comes along with associated stories of 5'10 Kelly McGillis hurting her back during filming whilst downgrading her posture all the time (Tom and Kelly didn't care, it was the director/ producers that didn't want a taller female lead). Cue stories of him being short, bogus height listings in magazines, and suddenly bald taller men with fat guts working in the press had something to seize on. Tom Cruise is only 5'3/5'4/5'5/5'6.....I've seen him quoted at all those heights............then the public started believing it....hell I thought he was 5'6 before I started posting on this site.
Hands up, the guy did look 5'7 in 'All the Right Moves' - apart from that pic/film made when he was 20, he's never looked less than 5'8 to me. Most sites have him listed at 5'7. That seems fair - Most sites wouldn't put 5'7.75, because most of the public would read that as 5'7. Only the height obsesives on this site argue over 0.1 of an inch hahaha!!

@Tommy - I get where you're coming from when you talk about the myth of TC being "really short". But I think this is only a reaction to the myth that Tom and his image brokers have tried to create about his height. Once it gets about that someone has a "little help" in the shoe department, and is not as tall as he might claim, the speculation as to how much they might be stretching the truth can get stupid. I don't subscribe to him being "really short" - unless you consider 5'7/8" "really short"!

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

@Parker, his height is constantly changing between photos... it all comes down to what does Cruise have inside his shoes(if anything)? Alex, who won the height challenge says Cruise is 5'7.25" to him, I think 5'7.5" for Cruise, and Shredder thinks 5'8". Untill someone measures Cruise barefoot, like you said, I'll guess we'll never know his real height down to the mm.

You can use the markings on the wall behind in the last one.......he actually looks 2 inches taller than Pena to me. I really find Tom's height confusing at times, and please don't start shouting 'lifts'. There's no way he had a lift in shot with Pena in trainers.....in fact Pena's shoes looked more suspicious to me.
I'm 99% convinced he's between 5'7.5 and 5'8.5, with a 1% chance he could be a smidge taller or shorter 5'7.25-5'8.75 - We'll never know.

All ways makes me laugh when people come out with such statements. She is listed at 5'9 everywhere including this site, go read the last post from people that have actually met her. In contrast to shorter men, most taller women, especially actresses actually downplay their height in order to be considered for parts.
And Ahleks - you think there is only 1 inch between Cruise and Hoffmann?

My dad's about 5'7 but always claims to be 5'9. I know most men who are shorter have this small man complex. My friend nick is also about 5'7 and he claims to be 5'9". Of course men want to be taller - it means a lot to them to be looked at as strong and solid. Lets face it though, katie holmes is exactly 5'8 and even in flats she seems about the same height or taller - and tom wears lifts!

Getting owned by Tom just bothered G. It was an inch easy with a 1/2" advantage in the footwear dept. with the Portmans. Parker is correct.

Metric you're right he does look quite thin in Risky Business (140 ish tops) His 5'9 claim is just plain stupid though, and if you're going to lie about your height then you might as well up your weight WAY up too so that it adds up.
If Cruise wasn't in lifts next to a 5'7 ish glenn then he's definitely on the high end of 5'7, but if cruise WAS in minor lifts then he should be no more than 5'7 flat.

He was more than 0.5 inch taller than Glenn. He was a solid inch taller. How big do you friggin people think an inch is? And we don't know Glenn's footwear either, but he likely was wearing boots. A 6'2" dude who I speak with at my gym met Tom ages ago (early 90s) back the the YMCA here in Toronto. He said around 5'8-5'9.

Just seeing Tom Cruise, no way does he look anywhere near the 5'8 mark. I can't imagine him just being .25 inches smaller than editor Rob. I think he is a weak 5'7 flat.
PS - The average height of a male in the US, is 177.6 cm (5' 9.9"). Almost 5ft '10 inches...

His "147 pounds - at 5 feet 9 inches" quote does not make sense. If this was true he woudld look very thin. Even at 5'7 ish which he probably is, at 147 lbs would look thinner than he has looked. My guess would be 5'7 - 5'7.75 at 155 lbs.

This is why I cant believe some people think Toms 5'9", because hed possibly look 5'11" (above average) with his custom made elevator shoes but he usualy looks below average even with lifts.

Shawn, the 5ft7 stars of the 60 and 70s that were all leading, dominant men in blockbusters, never received mocking by the press. Examples: 5ft7 Richard Burton; 5ft7.5 Kirk Douglas. Both men were below the national average man in the 1960s which was 5ft8.5.
Height obviously didn't pay such an important role in the 60s cos those writers/editors/interviewers would of at least said/written demeaming material. The reason: more insecurity in mens mind these days to touch such subjects.

ACG, McGregor is no way 5ft10.5 - only his agency lists that height. Do your detective work and compare him next to 5ft7, and close friend, Charley Boorman. Type "boorman mcgregor" into google images and see for yourself there's 1.5 inch difference at best.
McGregor has never been insulted by the media for being small because he DOESN"T LOOK IT; he looks medium and passes for 5ft10 easily.
Cruise does look a small man trying to be medium in most of his films, and on the red carpet, he tries too hard. He has short legs and sloped shoulders and is quite stocky. Even Bruce Lee (5ft7) looks taller than Cruise. It's all about proportions; compare say Jackie Chan (5ft9) to Johnny Depp (5ft9 as well).... Depp will always appear taller due to his higher shoulder height, longer legs and more gracile build.

I doubt hes at that listed height...% 7 is just a couple inches shorter then average height, and Cruise never looks just a bit shorter - he looks a lot shorter..
I dont think I've ever seen him taller than any of his male co-stars , and he sometimes looks small to his female ones..Id reckon hes 5'5"..

I agree with Brad on Tom Cruise , he is much more 5'8 , heck even Rob said James Tolken thinks he is more 5'8 , sure he can be a little shorter but NO WAY 5'7 flat or shorter IMO !

"Is Tom Cruise a nice guy Frank2?"
I can't say from personal experience. All I know is what I've heard form people who've worked with him and that's he tends to be a prima donna and can sometimes act like a jerk. I thought the fact he was chauffeured around in a Porsche was somewhat odd.

Any guy of or under 5ft9 gets treated as though they're inadequate & diseased, so it doesn't matter if Cruise is 5ft7, 5ft8 or 5ft9, he's still considered an inferior heighted man. Why would a 5ft7 man go through the effort to make himself appear 1-2 inches taller? It must feel real bad if say your 5ft7 wear lifts to reach 5ft9 --which is still an inferior height-- then get home, take your shoes and lifts off and have to go through that horrible feeling of being 5ft7 in socks. I'm sure the latter process would cause more psychological damage than being 5ft7 and choosing normal footwear with no lifts would ever do.
i'm 175-176cm and nobody thinks i'm inferior everybody consider my height pretty normal even taller guys ,you know it's an average height
i can understand if you tell me you have problems if you are 5ft6 or under
but 5ft8 5ft9 5ft10 are all common heights if these heights are inferiors
most people are if you think like that

He's probably not 5'6", i think we can agree on that, but there is NO way he is this close to 5'8" barefoot. You are not thinking logically if you truly believe that hes essentially a 5'8" man

I still think Cruise in my opinion is closer to 5'8 than 5'7, but definately closer to 5'7 than 5'9, but I wouldn't put my mortgage on it. My brother has been measured for a medical a smidge under 5'8, and I recently measured my 20 year old son using Rob's aerosol technique at a flat 5'7. When their together they look the exact same height - I wouldn't be able to tell which of them was closer to 5'8 without measuring.
If Cruise is a flat 5'7, then Rob would need to reduce Michael Penna's height listing by at least an inch

Vibram, that's the dumbest thing I have ever read. About 40-50% of all American males are 5'9 or under, and you think they are all treated as if they are "inadequate and diseased"? That they would all develop psychological trauma? Wow. The reality is most people don't think about their height at all unless they go to the doctor's for a physical. Why would Tom Cruise feel inferior? He is one of the most famous actors of all time. He has a far better life than basically all of us who post here.

"Excellent story Frank2. When you saw Cruise did he ever give the impression that he was 5'10"+ in his shoes or was he always shorter than 5'10"?"
He looked at least two inches shorter than me and I'm dead-on 5'11" so with shoes I'm about 6". His shoes looked really built up. I mean, he'd have given the Frankenstein monster's asphalt splitter's enhanced boots a run for their money.

I saw Cruise when he was on the Fox lot making MINORITY REPORT. He wore huge lifts and was still shorter than me. He's no more than 5'7" barefoot. I'd put money on it. He's also the only guy I know who was chauffeured around in a Porsche Turbo Carrera. He and Spielberg had phony name plates on their parking spots as if that was so important. Spielberg drove a huge Lexus SUV, a gift for using Lexus in the film. I think he also got a free Lexus SC. Both men had an entourage of bodyguards while Rupert Murdoch, the owner of News Corp and Fox and a gazzilionaire, drove himself to and from work with no assistance. The only exception being right after 9/11 and it didn't take long for him to go back to driving himself. I had quite a lot of respect for him while working there.
But I sometimes wonder about celebrities. Many end up acting like spoiled kids.

This is another height that confused me, based on Glenn's pics. He was slightly taller than Glenn. Well Glenn is 5' 6.75" (aft) and hits as low as 5' 6.5", so add a bit on, and the 5' 7" claims for Cruise make sense.
BUT based on those pics, I think he's 5. 7.5". But who knows the footwear. 5' 7" legit could be true. Time of day also complicates things too.

Why is everything so complicated? People, who say Tom is 5'8 and 1.5 taller than Glenn, then you need to go and look Rob and Glenn photo, where is a legit 1.5 difference, so ask yourself, is it the same difference in the Glenn/Cruise photo. I bet with hair and posture advantage Tom will still be shorter than Rob, who is a strong 5'8.

Portman to Cruise stealth. I've seen his stealths, they can't be as big as those things Glenn had on. Just add 1.5". He's not under the listed height above. Anything pre '94 he admits being "5' 7"" so 5' 6" is reality.

Tom seemed to have a weak inch on Glenn in the photo with the suit on, in the other one difficult to judge as Glenn leaned slightly towards Tom.
Tom in a suit of course means suspicous shoes were very likely, but here's of course the problem - we don't know what Glenn wore. Had Glenn worn his "Portmans" on the more recent photo (I believe it was from 2004?), it would make the case for a weak 5'8'' as I can not imagine his lifts would give him more than the Portmans. So both photos are not worth that much for estimating. Let's not forget, the very first one was shot when Glenn was a potential 5'6'', as it was from 1992 I think.
Judging from what could be read on German newpapers, a series of very friendly articles on Tom (more like hymns, it was getting embarrassing. The reporter described Tom as some sort of Ueber-mensch) wrote he's 173 cm. More often, 170 cm or even 168 cm could be read.
I think 168 cm is not likely, he's never that short. But not more than 171 cm fresh out of bed for him.

Well I agree with Brad, not on the Glenn photo, I didn't see more than an inch between them, but I do think he's close to 5'8. I've seen enough other pics of Tom to guess him at 5'8 or a tad under...exactly as Rob has him listed in fact.
Pavement and footwear factors come into play in the Glenn/Tom pics.

I with Leonari,Roger and Rising- there wasn't more than 1" difference between Tom and Glenn in his pic. Tom surely isn't taller than 171cm barefoot as even with lifts the size of shoe boxes he would still struggle to crack 178cm-179cm in them. Look at him with Nicole in pics-she had flats, he had lifts and he was still a fraction shorter.

Brad - Leonari is right. There definately was not a 1.5" difference in height between Glenn and Cruise in those photographs, in fact I thought they looked exactly the same height even though Cruise was maintaining his upright posture and Glenn was leaning slightly. It is easy to say in hindsight that Cruise owns Glenn but he definately didn't in either of those two photographs. Okay, I don't know about their footwear but if Glenn were wearing portmans, I think we can safely assume Cruise was wearing lifts especially in the first photograph. What still confuses me is how Glenn can look the same size as Cruise and yet look hardly any taller than Hirsch who gets dwarfed by Sean Penn, yet Glenn insisted he looked down on Penn when he met him.

OK Jerry, you say 5'7.25" is possible, but 5'7.5" is ridiculous? An inch is tough to notice, much less a quarter inch. Hahahah.

I met Cruise back in '87 and he was clearly 6'3". I am 5'10" myself and he towered over me. I do not know what you people saying he is 5'7" are talking about. He does not even need to use lifts in his shoes, he is that tall.

I think if we try to remember how Tom was only very slightly taller than 5'7'' Glenn, and prob. wore lifts, anything above 5'7'' is highly unlikely. I think Brad has him wrong.

5'7.5??? RisingForce, I've never heard anything so ridiculous IN MY LIFE. I'm 5'6.75 and I've met Tom and we are exactly the same height. There is NO WAY that there was more that 0.5 inches difference between us which still means that the maximum his height can be is 5'7.25, which is a clear .25 off your guestimation, which seem to have no evidential basis!!!

I've seen girl magazines (not mine I swear) refer to Urban as 5ft 7!! One article said Nicole Kidman married a cabbage patch kid.

Slightly OT, but here's another Ed Zwick photo for reference. If Ed is really only 5ft 7, he never looks small(even though 5ft 7 isn't small) next to 5ft 11 people, and 5ft 7 women in heels. Click Here
