Tom Cruise looking taller than Katie Holmes at MotoGP Race


Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were seen at the Red Bull US MotoGp on Sunday in Laguna Seca, California. They flew in a private jet to Monterey where they boarded a helicopter to Laguna Seca to watch the race. Seen boarding the helicopter with them and at the event were three unidentified people, two men and a woman. One of the men and the woman are shown flanking them in the group photo.

In some of these photos Tom and Katie look like impersonators to me. There’s something fake about their leather jackets and shades and their uber-cool poses. Look at the odd way they’re standing that makes Cruise look taller than Holmes. How was that angle achieved? He could have been standing on something or maybe he’s positioned on the incline because he’s taller than her in most all of these shots, including the one taken farther away. It’s also possible Katie has perfected her slouch.

Cruise is thought to be 5’7″ and Holmes is about 5’9″ tall. Although Cruise appeared slightly taller than Holmes in their official wedding photo, most event photos show Katie towering over her husband because she wears heels. This photo of the two out to dinner in February is probably a more accurate representation of their height difference.

Fellow Scientologist Jason Lee, one of my son’s favorite actors, was also at the race. I didn’t spot him in the photos of Katie and Tom boarding a helicopter with their entourage.

    weird couple 😯

  2. nag says:

    Maybe it was them and Katie was wearing flat shoes to compensate for Tom’s insecurity of height issues.

    There was a famous comment from Nicole after she was divorced that she could now wear stilettos. 😉

  3. geronimo says:

    Just the camera angle. Plus he’s probably wearing lifts. Or they’ve shrunk Katie. Or all three.

  4. Anon says:

    Hey Tom! WE SEE WHAT YOU DID THAR!

    Even if she is wearing flats, he would have to wear lifts to be taller than her..

  5. SeVen says:

    Hes been hitting Suri’s barley water.

  6. Carrie says:

    He’s standing on a step…

    Her weird half smile gives me the creeps every time I see it.

  7. Megan says:

    Maybe HE is wearing heels!

  8. Cory says:

    I saw a full picture, he is wearing a thick sole and Katie is in super flats. But when you consider that He is 5, 7.8 and she is 5,9′ the difference is magnified because she wears super high heels all the time. I doubt he has a complex about his height, the media and his critics would like him to have it.

  9. Sherri says:

    Just an FYI Cory…Tom has a major complex about his height. It was made very public while the movie Interview with a Vampire was being made. He had serious issues because Brad was taller than he was, so on and so forth.

  10. Granger says:

    I think it’s hilarious that Nicole said she could finally wear heels again after divorcing Tom, because now she’s married to another guy who’s shorter than she is! When you see her out, she’s almost ALWAYS in flats. Nothing wrong with that — it’s just funny.

  11. xiaoecho says:

    If creepy Cruise had a height complex, he wouldn’t go for taller women…..would he?

    I reckon he’s wearing lifts and she’s stooping slightly

  12. Mommy says:

    Maybe with the right vitamins, not to be glib, Tom has achieved his secret wish to be 5’4″

  13. CiCi says:

    xiaoecho – i firmly believe his height complex is what MAKES him go for tall women. His dating tall women sets him and his relationship apart and makes him stand out. If he dated a tiny woman who was smaller than him – it would just show how small he was and they would appear very small as a couple. (We’ve all seen small couples out.) If you’re going to be small anyway (can’t help your physical stature), your image has to be big (if you’re in H’wood) in order to stand out. Being small and being with an even smaller person only draws attention to how small a couple you are.

  14. geronimo says:

    I’m with you, CiCi. Exactly that, a smaller woman would draw far more attention to his own height. I don’t believe he’s 5’7″, more like 5.5/6″. Anyway the scientos probably told him to find a tall woman so they’d produce nice tall babies to fight off the evil that is Xenu.

  15. Blackalicious says:

    Such a butch couple.

  16. jinx says:

    He’s been wearing these strange custom wedgie *tee hee* sneakers, that are pretty interesting looking. If he falls off them he could get injured they are so tall, another site compared them to Posh Spice’s high heeled sneakers worn to throw out the first ball at a game, pretty funny – why is she hiding her lovely purple hands in all the shots? If you go to the trouble of having your hands turn purple – show us.

    Also, nice carbon footprint assholes.

  17. daisy424 says:

    Katie is pale. Look at her eyes, she looks doped.
    If she was my daughter, I would kidnap her and Suri and get them the hell away from him and his cult.

  18. snappyfish says:

    Tom Cruise is nowhere near 5’7. I have always heard that he was 5’4 – 5’5. He wears lifts. He always has. Nothing wrong with being short.

    It just seems to bother the crap out of him….must be the thetans he has yet to expel from his vessel. Tom go find an e-meter and audit those suckers out.

  19. Missy says:

    Katie gives off the impression that she is not comfortable in her own skin, Tom, you married a tall woman,get over yourself

  20. CiCi says:

    Geronimo – yes, I too think he is more like 5.5/6.

    There is nothing wrong with being short, of course, but in all fairness – for a while there he had QUITE a movie image to live up to and I understand his wanting to be taller. But doesn’t Tom realize that he has a short person’s body – and raising its height only looks funny. ie., Look at the close up of their heads. Katie has a tall person’s neck – next to Tom, who clearly doesn’t. It’s weird.

  21. kate says:

    c’mon now, tommy boy! nothing wrong with being a short leading man – after all, it works for al pacino! but as always, he looks insane and she looks doped. and i hate the way they “match” their looks.

  22. photo jojo says:

    My guy is about 5’19” and I am 5’7″… and I love me some heels, and he loves it when I wear them. No way I’d wear flats just to make someone else feel better… a guy who is secure in his manhood wouldn’t ask, nor would he wear lifts. 🙂

  23. countrybabe says:

    I don’t think he’s 5’7 either. Katie is more like 5’10. I see she’s cut her hair again.

  24. poopie says:

    ACCKKKKKK… The $cientologists have done “leg shortening” surgery on katIE !!!!!!she looks TOTALLY uncomfortable next to him… do we EVER see the two of them not standing so close together they look like conjoined twins???????? EEEWWWWW..

  25. journey says:

    geez, you mean the scie-fiends can’t make jiminy cricket as tall as his carefully chosen wife? next thing you’ll tell me that they can’t make their sci-fiend princess kirstie alley as skinny as she’d like to be. what’s a mind control cult to do when their hoo-doo-voo-doo doesn’t work? what ever you do katie, don’t drink the kool-aid!

    as for the comments about why doesn’t tom choose a short woman: he probably feels short people are inferior, that’s why he chooses tall women and why he wears lifts. look at hitler, he surrounded himself with tall blonde aryans, and saw nothing ironic in his revulsion of short dark people who looked just like him. self-hatred makes people really stupid. even makes them join cults. 😉

  26. Bodhi says:

    He has those wierd Posh wedge sneakers; I bet he was wearing those.

    Daisy, I agree! Her parents must have some opinion as to thier daughter’s drastic changes

  27. Jason B says:

    These two are the epitome of a “Public Relation’s Marriage”. If only Nicole Kidman could really talk about her relationship with him.

    The entertainment industry feels that if America really knew the deal with Tom it could affect his ability to draw at the big box office.

  28. Mairead says:

    So, we’re agreed – the man has a dose of the “Dudley Moores”? 😈

    But they are looking remarkably matched of late – even in the last thread the photo made them look of similar heights. And Katie’s slouch isn’t that bad here 😕 And she’s looking more and more like a female version of him by the day. It’s a tad disconcerting.

    But Tom should really wear the shoe versions of the MBTs – at least then he can pretend it’s to tone up his legs and improve his cellulite 😈

  29. daisyfly says:

    Shorty McShortshort isn’t 5’7″, 5’6″, or 5’5″…without his manpumps.

  30. Jen says:

    The “he’s whispering sweet nothings in her ear” pose these two always do for the camera drives me crazy. It’s especially goofy in these shots because they’re both wearing ear plugs.

  31. Kat says:

    Doesn’t even look like Katie anymore. Maybe it’s a stand-in double. And you are right, her eyes are weird, like she’s drugged up.

  32. Shannon says:

    His boots have huge lifts but are well-engineered to look like they don’t. Find a picture of his feet from this event and take a look at the top of his foot. They’re angled just like high heels.

  33. emily says:

    she looks like she is on drugs…very creepy couple!
