Okay, we all know Tom isn’t tall. The general consensus seems to be he’s 5’7". That doesn’t make him a midget but he’s below the average height of an American man (which is 5’10"). So here’s a [picture](http://cdn03.cdn.thesuperficial.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/25/tom-cruise-blonde-mystery-woman-jerry-bruckheimer-walk-of-fame-star-ceremony-0625-7-435x580.jpg) of Cruise and his new mystery girlfriend. He’s towering over her and she’s wearing heels. So how short do you figure this woman is? Five foot? Four eleven? (I posted in this forum rather than Cafe Society because this OP is mostly snarking and I expect the thread will continue in that vein.) ---

If she’s with him she’s one slice short of a pizza is all I can say. ---

Word is the church had her created through some genetic manipulation specifically for Tom. ---

Fer chrissake Tom, pull down that sweater and get a pair of jeans that fit your middle aged ass. ---

I don’t know and neither does Tom. The E-meter doesn’t measure height. ---

I’m assuming that Tom Cruise wears lifts even in his bedroom slippers, but even so that woman has to be under 5 feet. ---

Minor nitpick: The average height of an American man is 5’9.5". According to this website (Yeah, it’s not a perfect source of information): > **[Tom Cruise](https://www.whosdatedwho.com/dating/tom-cruise)** > > 24 June 2023... Tom Cruise news, gossip, photos of Tom Cruise, biography, Tom Cruise girlfriend list 2023. Relationship history. Tom Cruise relationship list. Tom Cruise dating history, 2023, 2022, list of Tom Cruise relationships. the women that Tom Cruise has dated are the following: Melissa Gilbert: 5’4.0" Heather Locklear: 5’5.0" Rebecca De Mornay: 5’5.5" Cher: 5’8.5" Mimi Rogers: 5’8.5" Nicole Kidman: 5’11.0" Penelope Cruz: 5’6.0" Nazanin Boniadi: 5’3.75" Sofia Vergara: 5’7.0" Katie Holmes: 5.9.0" Yolando Pecoraro: unknown Cynthia Jorge: unknown I got the heights from the Internet Movie Database, which isn’t a perfect source of information either. So five of the twelve were taller than him and one was about the same height. My offhand guess looking at that picture is that the new girlfriend is about 5’ tall. ---
