God knows we give Tom Cruise enough grief about wearing high heels/lifts. In our defense, HE KEEPS WEARING THEM. This man is terrified that people will think of him as an unhinged, lift-wearing midget (credit: Agent Bedhead). In truth, he’s not a midget. He’s like… five-feet-six maybe? Nothing terrible, he’s just petite for a man. But his size limitations are made worse by the fact that Tom loves tall(er) women, both in marriage and as costars.
So Tom went to Japan today to promote Knight & Day with Cameron Diaz. Camy is wearing heels, as you can see. And Tom is wearing… his famous lifts. I told this girl to avoid pairing his heels with skinny jeans, but does he listen? NO. Anyway, the Legend of the Lift has grown so strong that even HuffPo is calling Tom out on it, questioning how tall Tom looks standing next to Camy. Poor Tom!
You can barely notice them and women wear high heels, whats the big deal if he wants to wear a shoe with a heel on it? I think he looks pretty good for his age, although really shiny in these pics. LOL who put all that oil on his face? I don’t like that shirt thing he is doing. He needs to wear just one shirt at a time. Otherwise Tom is still a good looking man.
So sad.. that is just a terrible thing to see.. *wipes my eyes*
would it just kill cam to pull a brush through that mop on her head. geez! so damn sloppy lookin!
mary-kate olsen, you are so not honey. 🙁
Oh Cameron needs a facial and to use some primer before applying her makeup. I can see every pore.
Camy is looking OLD! She obviously does not take care of herself.
He’s aging pretty well, though, isn’t he? I can understand his desire to wear lifts – he looks so leeedle next to his ladies!
I think Camy looks good and I just love her smile.
Cammy is looking older (surprisingly as she is getting older!!!) but thats great that she looks like herself and isn’t plastic
Go Cameron! Ageing gracefully and she is still beautiful
lifts or no, tom is waaaaaay prettier than cam. plus, he combed his hair. team tom on this one.
WTF happened to Cameron Diaz face? She shouldn’t look that old right? She’s only 37, right?
i want cami’s shoes.
Am I the only one who thinks those shoes are normal for a guy? My husband is a police officer and the boots he wears have a small heel on the also.
Wow,
she is so not hot
Good Lord! What in the scary hobo hell is going on with Cammy’s face? Cover her eyes on the last pic and check out that nose and chin. *shudder* That girl needs a – well, I don’t know what.
@kelbear
it’s not about the little heel you can see on the outside, his shoes are elevated on the inside. He’s essentially standing on his tippy toes and trying to hide that fact.
I don’t think it’s a big deal, it’s not like the heels are ridiculous or anything like that, they’re hardly noticeable, i mean… they’re not the first thing you look at when u see a photo of him.
And I think Cam looks perfect for her age, she’s getting older for God’s sake!
Love her shoes!
I think Cammy is aging well, doesn’t look fake, and I love those shoes. But I agree about the messy hair.
LMAO @WYIJM
Love those shoes Cam! The rest is just meh.
Hm. Im 40 & look way younger then Cammy.,mimd you I dont wear wrinkle causing cover up.
I think its the cover up making her look older then she really looks.
Otherwise I love her!
It’s hard to separate a girl and her heels – so I say, you go Tommy!
Love Cameron’s outfit and the shoes are HOT. The only thing is her hair – it’s too greasy/messy looking. And her face? I’d rather look at that than the jacked-up shit other actresses do.
I just said to my husband, who was reading over my shoulder, ‘Wow, Cameron Diaz really isn’t aging well. She looks 50!” and he said, “At least she isn’t full of fillers and plastic surgery.”
He is right. Women can’t win in this industry in terms of aging, and we fellow women are their worst critics.
I’m surprised to write this but Tom Cruise is aging much better than Cameron Diaz. I think his lifts need to be a little higher, think Pee Wee Herman and the big shoe dance
Cammy is a chain smoker. Aging gracefully, ppl?
The only bad things I’ll say about Cameron Diaz are that all too often she looks like she needs a good bath, and that she should take better care of her skin.
BUT – I do appreciate the fact that she’s not jacked ten different ways. I like her more for looking her age.
You know what? I think TC is crazy, and have no respect for him.But on this issue? Who cares. To me it’s cosmetic, like hair dye or tanning or botox. In other words, if it makes the wee man happy, then good for him.
Cameron looks great, very fit and fabulous shoes. But skinny plus age plus sun exposure (plus close-up in unflattering pic)= not so great skin. Still kudos to her for keeping it real, unlike her very vain costar.
Ruby I mostly agree with you..
but would it kill the girl to use a C serum or some sunblock?!
Kaiser exactly. I really wish she would use sunblock, heck she could still play out in the sun, but put on some damn sun block!
diaz truly looks ugly in the bottom pic.
@WYIJM now I understand what everyone is talking about Thanks!
Wow, why didn’t you warn us that close-up of Cameron was coming! Serious scroll-down fug!
Holy cats! Cammie looks AWFUL! I also appreciate the fact that she hasn’t done anything (noticeable in these pictures) to her face, but DAYUM! She is looking more & more like a squished frog!
High heels or Low heels, he’s still a greaseball. If he were really comfortable in his skin, it would make no diff how tall he was. The man’s ego goes on forevah !
It’s funny to call him out on this. Many actors wear lifts. I photographed one who is very popular right now in the comic to film genre and I shot his lifts in his shoes. No one even thinks to call out other actors, just pick on Tom. By the way, when I photographed Tom he wasn’t much taller than I am and I am 5’2″. I can understand why he would wear lifts but it doesn’t really have much to do with his acting abilities, does it? = )
Hard flash was not flattering for that close up of Cameron Diaz
Tom Cruise hasn’t aged. I don’t know what his secret is but I’m thinking he might be regularly feasting on the blood of Scientology virgins.
I saw him in person once and he is a tiny little man but with BIG charisma.
Robert downey jr wears lifts too! nobody says a damn thing. i am tired of this tom hate
I love Cameron’s shoes.
You can barely notice Tom’s shoes, the jeans are too tight for a man though, his legs looks shorter.
Yet he still is shorter than Cameron,at least he looks handsome.
TC looks like he might be wearing a man-sized Bump-It too 🙂
I like Tom Cruise. He know’s it would be hard to photograph them two together if she was 6 or 7 inches taller than him. He is a professional and know’s how to do promo’s properly. No shame in that.
Better than rediculous hair-plugs or bulking up undershirts….women wear high heels and make-up and dye their hair, so why can’t a short man wear something to stand beside a tall woman without looking out of place???
As for Cameron Diaz..I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…she’s morphing into Ellen Barkin…
Tom is wearing shoes with the “hidden” high heel. The lifts are on the inside. Its why his feet look a little weird and why his shoes are always glossy black so it deflects the true size.
When did Cameron turn into Goldie Hawn? 🙁
I can’t stand the whole TC thang. He and his ilk need to go to ground fora bit. Take the Smith’s as well.
If Cammy has to go for a visit, I’ll take her shoes.
Anyone who complains about how Cammy looks forgoes the right to complain about any Botoxed women. Cammy looks like a natural woman nearing 40 looks without any help and as someone only a few years behind her I think it’s great that she has that confidence.
That last photo of Cam isn’t great. She’s never been a very good actor in my view and if she’s getting by on her looks then I think her run is just about over.
Cam’s shoes are fantastic!
@kelbear – I dunno, I’m picturing your strapping police officer husband out bravely protecting his city, wearing boots with a strong, blocky heel. Then I’m picturing Tom, out attending a film premiere, wearing lifts in boots with a heel. Maybe it’s just because I don’t like Tom, but it’s apples and oranges in my mind!
@girl – The image of Katie helping Tom get ready for his big night by putting in his “man-sized Bump-it” is cracking me up!
Squished frog – ha ha!
The problem I have with Tommy’s lifts are that they force him to walk like a woman in heels. The lifts do something to the way he stands. Walking downstairs in 4″ lifts – his stride is NOT NORMAL for a guy. Actually he is doing it quite well!
‘Robert downey jr wears lifts too! nobody says a damn thing. i am tired of this tom hate”
That’s ’cause RDJ is made of awesome and Tom is….well, not.
What I am wondering is what he did to his face… he looks great! It looks like the same thing Brad Pitt did. It made them look mysteriously younger but without any tell-tale signs of having work done. I like it.
Cammy’s shoes are great and she looks like a woman who spends lots of time out in the sun which she does so she does look older here than many other 37 year old women. But I applaud her for no botox or plastic surgery so far. Tom’s jeans are too small as usual which is how he always wears them. I saw him once walking in NYC and he is quite tiny even with lifts.
He should just OWN his size like Stephen Dorff does.
I looked their heights up…Tom is 5’7″ and Cameron is 5’9″…plus wearing 3″ heels, which should have made her 5 inches TALLER if I did the math right…right?
They are shiny because it is incredibly hot and humid right now in Japan. A coworker just got back from there and said in the 90’s with close to 100% humidity.
I actually think Tom looks really good here. Sure, he is wearing his lifts, but for all his quirks he is still a damn fine looking man. Too bad he had to turn out so squirrely.
And I really don’t understand what the problem is with the picture of Cami? She has a big smile and looks pretty. ? I’ll bet she’s one of those people who has had acne forever, and who’s skin will never look like porcelein but you know what? People with skin like that actually age better because their skin is naturally thicker and more oily. She’s counting her blessings now.
I like the fact that Cameron Diaz is aging without fillers and botox. The problem I have with her hair isn’t just that she needs to brush it, but that
about 4 inches of it is dry and needs to be hacked off.
Choose Me, I actually think Goldie Hawn looks ages better at her age than Cameron does nearing 40.
I really never got the appeal of Cameron Diaz. I NEVER found her attractive and now, she just seems to be getting worse looking IMO. Not aging well at all.
I just watched Something about Mary over the weekend, and forgot how cute and pretty Cam was back then. I’ll give her credit for not going all plastic, but I feel like she should still take better care of her hair and skin. It’s not like she can’t afford the best.
Those are some of Tom’s more subtle lifts, I’ve seen him wear some doozies. I think people pick on him about it because it’s clearly something that bothers him, but he would NEVER admit to it because of his ego.
Tom has never gotten over the fact that his late (and estranged) father was 6’2″.
I like Tom. He as masculine as can be. There is no indication that he is wearing any heels as the headline screamed.
@Cleo – You mean Stephen Dwarf? Lol couldnt resist.
Cam just needs to get rid of the excessive shine. She is still attractive, the shine just really, REALLY detracts from it.
I’m not a fan, but I think he looks great. Prince has worn heels for years, and women still go nuts for him.
I am 5’3″ and my BF is 5’5″ and I love it! We are just the right height for kissing and ahem, other activities.
He is not troubled by being shorter than the average man and it’s endearing.
I have always wished that Tommy Girl would just let all the pretense go and just BE THE HEIGHT HE IS. I mean, he’s got lots of other actual problems to deal with, like the fact that he’s crazy, a control freak and possibly a gay man trying hard to convince everyone that he’s straight.
I would say being short is the least of his worries.
Plus, don’t you hate it when people try to “fool” you by wearing shoe lifts or making their hair really poofy to seem taller? Just be yourself.
Cameron Diaz really does look like she needs a bath most of the time. I am not hating on her shiny self because I live in the South where it’s 100 degrees with 99% humidity, and you wanna talk about shiny? I got your shiny. But…. I dunno, I think there’s a difference between oily and greasy. Oily is when you walk outside and your mascara runs and it’s not your fault. Greasy is when you were oily 2 days ago and haven’t bothered to bathe.
cameron needs to go back to her looks in the mask
it doesn’t hurt to gain a little weight so you don’t look that manly jesus
Cam looks really old, and though Quazy, Tom does look very handsome for his age. And very thin lately
Hm. Im 40 & look way younger then Cammy.,mimd you I dont wear wrinkle causing cover up.
I think its the cover up making her look older then she really looks.
Otherwise I love her!
=========
Im 46 and I look younger than she does
I don’t think Cam looks that old necessarily, it’s just that her smile reminds me of The Joker.
Please, Cam looks old people.. One thing about taking care of your skin ezspecially people who are of latin or African decent if you have oily skin growing up that perserves your skin the older you get and Cam is of latin descent. She may smoke but I think she took after her mother, who is white and everyone know most not all white people in America do not age well.. She looks like she is 20 years older than what she should. not hating on her but she really should do something about her skin. She is also too skinny. i don’t see what arod sees in her except a foot in the door to Hollywood.
He looks great; takes care of himself and it shows. Looks like minimal work too.
I just don’t have a problem with him b/c he’s so good to his extended family — kids, mom, sisters, in-laws etc. More Hollywood people should be like him in that way.
Cami is gorgeous but really hasn’t been taking care of herself. Hope she doesn’t go plastic surgery more than she already has.
I wonder if JT really hurt her.
B/T/W robert Downey JR, Depp, stephen Dorph, gibson, Taye Diggs —- all wear lifts
