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.
Plenty of people can't juge height even when they stand next to people. It is no myth, Tom Cruise is shorter than most think, he is surely not 5ft8.25. Take a good look at the shoes he uses at events and galas. He always uses lifts (2.75 inches) I know because I use them all the time.
