Actual Heights of Hollywood Icons: Don’t Believe All You See on TV
Tom Cruise – 5’7″
Although Tom Cruise is best known for his action-packed roles, his 5-foot-2 frame is often the subject of discussions. One such time was when he portrayed the towering Jack Reacher, a character described in the books as six feet five.

Still, his stature has never diminished his screen presence. He uses camera angles and sometimes heeled boots to appear taller, especially next to taller co-stars. But these measures are just for TV; Tom’s ex-wives, including Nicole Kidman, were taller than him.
