How tall is Tom Cruise, and other facts about the famous actor, brought to you by Entity.

Have questions like, ‘How tall is Tom Cruise?’ or ‘How did he discover Scientology?’ been plaguing your brain since “The Mummy” came out?

Tom Cruise makes almost every girls’ “hot older men” list, and while we agree that he is so-very-attractive, we have stumbled upon some surprising facts about Mr. Cruise and we thought we would share. If you’ve ever wondered…

1 Tom Cruise is only 5 foot 7.

My teenage dreams of looking up into Tom Cruise’s dreamy eyes have immediately unraveled… and looking down at him from my perch at 5′ 9” just doesn’t have the same enchanting appeal.

How tall is Katie Holmes then? At only 5′ 7”, all of Cruise’s wives have been taller than him. Mimi Rogers is 5′ 8”, Nicole Kidman is 5′ 10.5”, and Katie Holmes is 5′ 10”. I’m sure they had to find a way to make low heels look cute.

2 Tom Cruise grew up wanting to be a Catholic priest.

For someone we so strongly associate with Scientology (as in the only thing we know about Scientology is that Tom Cruise practices it), it is pretty surprising that he was raised Catholic and originally aspired to become a Catholic priest.

His first wife, Mimi Rogers, is the one who introduced him to Scientology, which he eventually converted to and continues to practice.

In his wedding to his third wife, Katie Holmes, his best man was David Miscavige, no less than the leader of Scientology.

3 Tom Cruise is also a producer.

On top of his extensive acting career, Cruise formed his production company in 1993 with his ex-talent agent Paula Wagner. “Mission Impossible” (1996) was the first film Tom Cruise produced, and it was co-produced by Cruise/Wagner Productions.

Who knew our favorite, handsome actor was so multi-talented?

4 Tom Cruise is the only actor to make the Forbes list of most powerful people… twice.

In both 2001 and 2006, Cruise made the Forbes list of most powerful people. Less surprisingly, various magazines also gave him the title of “World’s Sexiest Man” and “Most Beautiful People in the World.”

5 In Japan, there is a national Tom Cruise Day.

The holiday falls on October 10th. Cruise was apparently given this national holiday because he is the Hollywood star who has made the most visits to Japan.

Hopefully you’re now a little more informed about what’s behind the beautiful face that is Tom Cruise.
