Tom Cruise is renowned in the showbiz world for being on the short side. So it is odd that he seems to go for women who emphasise this fact.

The 5ft 7” actor was married to Nicole Kidman for 11 years and upon ending their relationship the Moulin Rouge actress said "now I can wear heels."

The pair had had a four inch height gap.

Cruise is now married to DawsonÂ’s creek actress Katie Holmes who is also taller than him by two inches.
