Tom Cruise

Edit Post

Tom Cruise's height is reported to be around 170cm give or take. Anyone wonder why he has never gotten LL surgery done? Especially since he has the time and money.

His height is an issue for him. When going out in public, he reportedly commonly wears elevator shoes and in movies in close scenes with taller actors he at times stands on elevated platforms to reduce the height difference. With LL surgery he could avoid all that.

He could if he wanted to, but he's successful enough as he is.  He's not the only short successful Hollywood actor by the way.
My guess as to why he hasn't done it:
He is an A list celeb, too much to risk, may be a problem with the various contracts and endorsements he has.
At 50+ he is now a little old to undergo this I would say

He really doesn’t have the time to do LL I mean he could if he wanted to and he could also afford the best doctors but the problem is he on average does let’s say 2 movies a year which all together probably take around 7-8 months of filming not counting possible reshoots so he wouldn’t have enough time to undergo surgery or recover with his schedule and on top of it it’d be obvious he did LL everyone knows he’s only like 5’6-5’7

Because he is really handsome, he is not that short and of course because safe LL exists only in the last few years with internal methods and Cruise is relatively old to care about changing his height after all his successful carreer.
But even if he did it, hollywood reporters would have found it and the backlash he would suffer for being insecure would have done much more damage than being considered as short but still very handsome.

It's funny because everyone always told me I look like Tom Cruise my entire life. They would all say "but Tom Cruise is short and you look just like him, why is your height such a problem?" Well, he's 5'7"/5'7.5", and I was 5'5" and some change (around 5'5.5" give or take). People didn't realize those two inches are HUGE (5'7" really is the final "cutoff," and even that is still short to many women, but at that height, you can at least compensate with other stuff like looks, money, etc.).

I always say, every inch between 5'5" and 5'8" is very, very important.

itslike every inch between 5 ft 10 and 6 ft1

Not everyone shares this view, but I think as long as you're average height and above for the region or country where you live, your height shouldn't really be a problem or concern.

There is also actor, Peter Dinklage. Even with his dwarfism, for some reason he hasn't decided or choose not to undergo LL.  Considering his age now, it probably wouldn't be a good idea. But considering he would vastly improve his proportions if he did LL and if he did his arms too, his dwarfism wouldn't be that apparent. At a height of 135cm he could theoretically lengthen both Tibias and femurs and achieve a height of at least 150cm, making him taller than Danny DeVito.

If you're talking about going from average to tall, then yes. But I was talking about going from a height where almost every woman is going to reject you based on your height alone/a height where you always will look short in a crowd to a height that, while still "short," won't get you rejected most of the time (based on height alone) and where you can appear average-ish. I'm 5'8" and some change now after LL (evening height), and it is absolutely no problem for me at all. Don't need to be any taller

every standard deviation in males is aprox 3.5 cm  or  1.37 in , in my opinion every 4 or 5 cm you jump to another league

5 cm seems little compared to say your total height, but compared to 20 cm that is the gap between the  5 Percentile (166cm) and 95 Percentile (187cm) is very significant, every inch is very important

I think that the reason tom has not resorted to cll is that his height simply does not bother him enough 

Having had success, money, fame, women for decades, I suppose go a long way 

or maybe he is afraid of the surgery itself and the criticisms of the people,  bloody hell maybe he does not know about cll
