LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Ben Stiller, the American actor renowned for his roles in movies such as ‘Meet The Parents’, ‘Night at the Museum’, ‘Tropic Thunder’, and ‘There's Something About Mary’, stands at a height of 5ft 6 inches (167.6 cm), as per Celebrity Heights.

Even though Stiller once claimed himself to be 5ft 7 inches tall, he once confessed he uses shoe lifts and a good sense of humor to navigate the challenges of height.

Is Ben Stiller taller than co-star Jenna Felman from 'Keeping The Faith'?

Ben Stiller’s height of 5ft 6 inches (167.6 cm) makes him shorter than his ‘Keeping The Faith’ co-star Jenna Felman, who stands 5ft 10 inches (177.8 cm) tall.

Adjusting his height with a pair of shoe lifts might be a simple task for Ben Stiller, but when it comes to acting out intimate scenes with Elfman in front of the entire crew, must have been a different challenge altogether.

Maintaining a sense of humor probably helped break the ice in those situations.

"When I realized I would be able to wear these elevator shoes so I could actually be in the same frame, then I started to feel good about the experience," the ‘Keeping the Faith’ star told TV Guide Online.

He once said to Screen Slam in 2015, "The last thing I want to be is a 5ft 7ins guy walking down the street with a 6ft 2ins model, like, 'Hey! Look at me! Look what I can get now I got my d**k caught in my zipper!'" he quipped.

"You learn a lot very quickly in showbusiness about how people, particularly women, react to 'celebrity', and I think it's a learning curve," he added.

Who is taller, Ben Stiller or Tom Cruise?

Tom Cruise’s height is 5 feet 7 inches (170 cm), whereas Ben Stiller’s height is 5ft 6 inches (167.6 cm), making the latter shorter.

Irrespective of the difference in height, the two are close friends, according to The Things.

The enduring friendship between Stiller and Cruise has stood the test of time, with both offering unwavering support to each other during challenging moments.

Cruise even made a surprise cameo in Stiller's film ‘Tropic Thunder’, showcasing the depth of their bond.
