Despite his size, Tom Cruise is one of the most respected actors in cinema today.
Tom Cruise is one of the most experienced and respected actors in Hollywood, mainly for his professionalism and great roles that have brought him several awards in his career, including Golden Globes and People's Choice.
The American actor and producer is also the star of two very popular franchises: Mission Impossible and Top Gun, in which he has demonstrated not only his ability as an actor, but also a great presence in front of the cameras.
Therefore, it is no coincidence that data on the actor's physical appearance is sought by his followers. However, some have been disappointed with his height, as they claim that it does not fit with the projection on cameras.
HOW TALL IS TOM CRUISE?
The presence of the actor in a production can be a guarantee of a sales success, since only with his name can he arouse the interest of the public. However, recently a writer refused to incorporate him in his project.
According to Lee Child, although he enjoyed working with Tom Cruise and “he is very talented, physically he does not fit the description of the character that I make in the novel.”
The writer, who has worked with Cruise in Jack Reacher, said this because the actor is 1.70 meters tall and weighs approximately 68 kilos (5.5 feet and 150 pounds).
Although the actor's height could cause him inconveniences, it is his energy and agility, which have led him to reject the use of doubles in his scenes, that compensate for his lack of height.
With the release of “Top Gun: Maverick” the debate has been rekindled about the use of doubles in films, a resource that the protagonist, Tom Cruise, refuses to use.
Even during an interview on “The Graham Norton Show,” the Mission Impossible star revealed that his production team asked him not to smile when he was filming his action scenes.
“I'm a very physical actor and I love doing them. I study and train and take a long time to figure it all out. I've broken a lot of bones! The first time doing any stunt is stressful, but also stimulating. I've been told several times during the filming of a stunt to stop smiling!” he said.
TOM CRUISE EXPLODED AGAINST THE “MISSION IMPOSSIBLE” CREW
Prior to the premiere of the new installment of “Mission Impossible,” a video went viral on social media showing the actor exploding against the members of the film's production.
Cruise's professionalism clashed with the error of his workers, who did not respect the measures against COVID-19, causing the actor's anger. FIND OUT ALL THE DETAILS HERE.
