Okay, I know this is probably a super common question, but it just hit me again after watching the new Mission: Impossible trailer. How tall is Tom Cruise actually? I swear, in every movie he looks like he’s towering over everyone, but then I see paparazzi photos and he seems… not so tall. What’s the deal? Is it all camera angles and movie magic, or does he wear special shoes? I’m genuinely curious how someone can appear so different on screen versus in real life. Does anyone know the real story?
