He also often plays characters who look bigger and mightier. But who would have thought that the height of the Mission Impossible actor is 170 cm?
The Key Is in the Heels
Even so, Tom Cruise has never been seen as small in front of the camera, such as when he posed with his ex-wife Nicole Kidman (177 cm) and Kate Middleton (175 cm) where they looked the same.
Even though they are wearing high heels, but how does Tom Cruise overcome the gap of several centimeters?

Not out of wit, the 61-year-old actor uses a shoe lift or high-increasing soles. He is also known to wear Cuban heels that make him increase in height up to 7 to 8 cm.
In addition, Tom Cruise also has another way to be no less tall than his partner in the camera. He uses the camera perspective when posing so that it looks the same as a photo of himself with his ex-wife, Katie Holmes who has a height of 175 cm.
In addition, some couples always wear shoes without heels when attending various events. This was stated by Nicole Kidman in an interview in 2001.
During an appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman, Nicole Kidman was asked about her divorce from Tom Cruise. She even made a joke about her ex-husband's height.
"Yes, at least I can now wear heels. Let's forget about it (about the divorce)," he said, drawing laughter from the studio audience.
But despite his height, Tom Cruise managed to prove that he has a myriad of advantages that make the directors glance at him.
He also always performs optimally in all his films and dares to do dangerous actions like he did in Mission Impossible and Top Gun.
