I don't think his height is accurate

It says he is 6'4 1/2". But every time you see him near anyone, he towers over them. My grandpa was 6 even, my dad 6'1", and my brother 6'3". I am only 5'7" which is decent for a female, but not model height. I only wear flats and yet none of them so obviously tower over me. Every picture of him has him towering over everyone around him, and those women wear heels, usually tall ones, and most men are between 5'9" to 6'2" in today's world, which makes it hard to believe most of Hollywood is Tom Cruise short. I mean I guess it's not super important, but I would think other fans would also be curious about how tall an actor really is when he towers so much over others.
I don't know, I guess it's just always confused me to think he is barely taller than my brother when he looks to be near the top of an NBA scale. Anyone else with me on this? -

All of the obviously short men in Hollywood, including Paul Newman, claim/ed to be 5'10". In Newman's case, I have it on good authority that he was exaggerating by a good 4 inches. Even Russell Crowe, whom I love, claims to be 5'11" when he's more like 5'9".

I've been lucky enough to see him up close and he really is that tall, and might I say even more beautiful in person than I thought possible. Lastly, he was the nicest man. Even after being ushered out of the theater, he went out the side with all of his fans and signed every last autograph and took pics until no one was left. Extremely polite, courteous, and thankful.

In Hollywood they have the 3 inch rule. You can knock 3 inches off the published height and you'll be closer to the truth. Cruise is 5'4 btw ,and wears very well made height increasing shoes.Newman was 5'6 as was stated by Larry King shortly after his death. Stallone 5'7 and even Arnold is actually no more than 5'10 as most bobybuilders are in the 5'2-5'10 range.
