Tom Cruise has been praised by fans after ditching visual effects to make him appear taller in Top Gun: Maverick.
Camera tricks have been used throughout the 59-year-old's career to make him appear at least the same height as his co-stars in the likes of Mission Impossible and The Last Samurai.
And in a famous promotional shot for the 1986 original Top Gun film, Cruise's 5ft 10ins lover Kelly McGinnis leans on his shoulder in order to make the pair appear the same head height.
