Tom Cruise’s presence on the Cannes red carpet sparked speculation about shoe insoles

For the first time in three decades, Hollywood icon Tom Cruise made his red carpet appearance at the Cannes Film Festival.

The actor and his co-star Jennifer Connelly addressed fans ahead of the opening of their current picture, Top Gun: Maverick.

However, the actor’s latest appearance at the event has fueled rumours that he was using lifts in his shoes.

Fans were quick to notice the difference in Cruise’s height as he walked the red carpet beside the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, who also attended the premiere of his film.

Fans claim the Jack Reacher actor donned shoes with inserts inside to add height.
