At just 5ft 7.75in tall, it's rare that Tom Cruise finds a celebrity male shorter than him.
So the 49-year-old actor must have been delighted when he found out that Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond was on the guest list for the premiere of Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol last night.
Cruise grinned widely posed up with Hammond, who, at 5ft 7in is estimated to be just 2cm shorter than Cruise, outside the BFI Imax in Waterloo last night.
But neither Cruise nor Hammond had any chance of competing on the height front with Hammond's fellow Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson, who is almost a foot taller than Hammond at a towering 6ft 5in.
The one man shorter than Tom Cruise ! Richard
Hammond was dwarfed by marginally taller Tom Cruise at the Mission:
Impossible - Ghost Protocol premiere in London last night
Despite speculation that Cruise's wife Katie Holmes would be joining him at last night's London premiere, the star instead went solo on the red carpet for the star-studded event.
After arriving at the premiere, Cruise stuck to his usual protocol by spending hours meeting his fans, and even speaking to their mothers, before making his way inside.

of cameras as he arrives at the UK premiere of his new film Mission:
Impossible - Ghost Protocol in London
The actor was snapped posing for the hordes of cameras outside the IMAX, where the film is being screened in 3D.
But once the flashbulbs had started to subside, or as other guests made their way up the red carpet, Tom went straight for his fans, who had been waiting outside in the cold and the rain for a glimpse of their idol.
And they got more than a glimpse as Tom stopped and chatted with them and posed for photos, which left a couple of his female fans somewhat excited, as they looked at each other and screamed.

He was joined at the premiere by co-star Simon Pegg, who was joined by his wife Maureen McCann, and who looked very smart in his grey suit.

it
And Gillian Anderson was also on the guest list looking very festive in her long red dress with black trim and plunging split at her cleavage.

Other guests included Sinitta and Caprice, who defied the icy temperatures in a very short strapless red dress.
The film sees Cruise's character Ethan Hunt take on a new mission after a bomb attack on the Kremlin in Russia forces the U.S. President to initiate 'Ghost Protocol', which means that the entire IMF - Impossible Missions Force, a fictional independent espionage agency employed by the US government - has been disavowed.
