It’s a great moment for fans of Tom Cruise and more particularly Top Gun. This Wednesday, May 19, 2022, the star returned to the Cannes Film Festival to present Top Gun: Maverick.
But unlike some cinema colleagues, do not expect to discover it in films specially broadcast on platforms. “I make films for the big screen. My films will not be released directly on the platforms. Going to the cinema is sharing an experience, whatever our culture or language. I will see the films in theaters when they come out. I put on my cap (to not be recognized). I like to see the trailers”dropped the one who received a beautiful statement from Lady Gaga.
Passionate about the seventh art since his earliest childhood, it was at the age of four that he knew he wanted to work in this environment, having Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd and Charlie Chaplin as idols. His first stunt dates from this time. “It’s like asking Gene Kelly why he dances? (laughs). I was 4 and a half years old. I had a parachute toy. I wanted to do the same. I made myself a parachute with my sheets, I climbed onto the roof. When I started I thought ‘this is not a good idea’ (laughs). I hit the ground so hard that I saw stars for the first time in broad daylight. I thought, ‘this is interesting'” he said with humor.
Accustomed to stunts since, Tom Cruise has still given full view to his fans in Top Gun but also in the next Impossible mission. Although he is world famous, the one who revolted Gad Elmalehdoesn’t intend to stop going to the cinema. Besides, the actor whose face caused strange hallway noisesgave his technique for going out incognito: sunglasses and a cap. Who knows, some fans may have already shared a session with him without knowing it.
In order to put Top Gun in the spotlight 36 years after the release of the first part, Tom Cruise had the right to a tribute of size. During his climb of the steps during the Cannes Film Festival this Wednesday, May 18, 2022, the Patrouille de France that he met the day before flew over the redcarpet at the same time. A nice wink.
