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.
Case in point: Vladimir Putin, according to published reports, is 5' 7 tall. That's the same height as Tom Cruise, and on the low end for American males in the 40 - 49 age range. (We are aware that Putin is not American.) Because you perhaps haven't had the chance to meet Putin or Cruise or President Obama or Ruth Bader-Ginsburg in person, it's hard to evaluate them as people.
