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.
OK, so no one's saying that 5-foot-7 is tall or anything, but, for as long as we can remember, Cruise's height has been a hot topic of conversation. Which is particularly amusing because we don't recall anyone mentioning anything about Robert Downey Jr. or Javier Bardem's stature. Yet, they too stand 5-foot-7.
