Tom Cruise has never been taller than 5'7. I don't know where people are getting 5'7.75. If anything, he's shrunk from his peak height of 5'7 in 1986's 'Top Gun' where Cruise appeared tiny compared to every other pilot in that film, and of course Kelly McGillis who at 5'10 towered over Cruise.
While we can't answer the latter, we can say that Cruise stands at a below-national-average height at 5 feet 7 inches, and his ex-wife at 5 feet 9 inches. Hollywood's elite come in all sorts of sizes. The Social Network star Armie Hammer swoops at 6 feet 4 inches, Howard Stern's big stage presence can be explained by his massive 6-foot-5-inch build and, at his prime, Hulk Hogan outflexed Michael Jordan by an inch at 6 feet 7 inches. Jane Lynch meets eye to eye with Jon Hamm, both at 6 feet.
