Short stars and their leggy loves


Some of Tinseltown’s tallest women cannot help but fall head over heels for some of the smallest stars around. The long and short of it is that for some Hollywood hotties size really does not matter and they are prepared to ditch their high heels for love. Despite his slight stature Tom Cruise has always had the knack for romancing sexy sky-scraping women like Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes. And now it seems more and more miniature men are jumping on the big bandwagon and dating women who tower above them.
TOM CRUISE AND KATIE HOLMES

Standing tall at 5ft 10ins Dawson’s Creek star Katie Holmes towers over husband Tom Cruise. But Katie has never appeared bothered by the difference in height until she appeared on the David Letterman chat show. Letterman poked fun at the height and age difference between her and then-boyfriend Tom Cruise. Brunette beauty Katie was stunned when cheeky Letterman asked, “You seem like, I’m guessing, maybe it’s possible... that you might be a little taller.” She told the chat show host, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Letterman replied: “I’m sitting here and I’m thinking Tom Cruise has got the loveliest woman in the world. How does that happen, for God’s sakes...? He’s shorter than you are,” before introducing a clip from her new movie. Holmes hit back, stating, “I think he’s sexy.” But TomKat caused even more of a stir when their wedding pictures were released and the Top Gun actor appeared to have grown four inches. Tom has a history of falling for taller women. His second wife, Nicole Kidman, was four inches taller than him. On the day their divorce was granted she famously exclaimed: “At least I can wear high heels now.”
