A recent photo of Tom Cruise and Aussie reporter Richard Wilkins from a London press event has gone viral—not because of the movie they were promoting, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, but due to a noticeable height difference. Wilkins, who is 6’2″ (1.88m), appears much taller than Cruise, who is reportedly 5’6″ (1.7m). Fans quickly pointed out the dramatic visual contrast, with some joking that the photo seemed “warped.”
While the height discrepancy caused a stir, the focus soon shifted to Cruise’s legendary stunt work. When asked about his first stunt, Cruise revealed he started climbing out of windows at age three to look at the stars. Despite acknowledging fear in his risky scenes, he explained that he doesn’t let it stop him.
Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning has a $400 million budget and is already receiving rave reviews, with critics calling it an adrenaline rush and the wildest Mission movie yet.
