People making fun of Tom Cruise Height
It is very ridiculous to make fun of someone’s height. The apparent height of Tom Cruise is 5 feet and 7 inches.
Here I am mentioning apparent height because the actor has spent his entire career trying to make his true height as unapparent as possible. He has used many tricks to look tall and fool the public in movie scenes and photos. To look taller he uses smoke and mirrors, heeled shoes.
During the 1980s the height of Tom was actually referred to like 5 feet and 8 inches or sometimes in some places it was mentioned as 5 feet and 9 inches. An actress had once mentioned that while filming she was in really flat shoes and even in the flat shoes she was much taller than the actor.
But Tom has a problem with actors who are taller than him. Most of the time he denies working with actresses who are taller or are of the same height as him. For all his life in film, career Cruise has created a fictional height for himself.
It is not at all okay to make fun of someone’s height
But this is very sad. The height of a person cannot justify his or her qualities and potentials. All heights are great. It is a gift of nature and we can’t do anything about it. All height should be embraced because it is glorious the way it is.
In relative terms, he can be considered shorter than other actions superheroes. He is also an action movie star. In comparison to other heroes, he is shorter them.
Many actors like Alan Ladd who is Five feet and six inches only, Jack Black is 5 feet and 6 inches tall, Dustin Hoffman is 5 feet and 6 inches only. Height is just a relative term. He can be considered taller to some and shorter to some actors.
Is Tom Cruise Short?
Now when you think about it and ask yourself the question, Is Tom Cruise actually short? So the average American male height is 175cm or 5 feet 9 inches. And Tom Cruise is 5′ 7″ so considering that Tom Cruise is shorter than an average American male, Yes Tom Cruise is Short. But we don’t think that has ever bothered him.
The most prominent example is his dating preference. Tom Cruise has mostly dated women taller than him. If he were conscious about his height he wouldn’t have dated women taller than him. But that being said, his height is not a scale of how good of an actor he is which is evident by the success of his films.
