Tom Cruise is often considered shorter than many of his peers, but the claim that he’s “super short” is somewhat exaggerated. He stands at about 5’7″ (170 cm), which is around average height for a man in the U.S. However, his height has become a topic of discussion due to his portrayal in movies alongside taller co-stars. Cruise is known for wearing lifts in his shoes or using camera angles to appear taller on screen. So, while he may be shorter than some Hollywood stars, he’s not unusually short by any means.
