Tom Cruise doesn’t just do his own stunts, he also sometimes ropes in co-conspirators – willing or not. In a recent interview, 35-year-old actor Glen Powell opened up about a heart-stopping prank pulled by Tom Cruise during the filming of the blockbuster hit Top Gun: Maverick. Powell, who plays Lt.
Jake ‘Hangman’ Seresin in the film, revealed that Cruise once pretended to lose control of a helicopter they were flying in, plummeting over the city of London . The incident occurred as the duo was returning to London after reshoots at Pinewood Studios. Powell recounted the moment to GQ with a mix of terror and admiration.
‘Tom goes, “Oh no, oh no,” and he starts dropping the helicopter over London,’ Powell shared. Powell recalled thinking, ‘Am I about to be the unnamed guy that dies with Tom in a smoking hole in the middle of London?’ Despite the brief scare, Powell’s respect for Cruise only grew. He described the Mission: Impossible star as deeply knowledgeable about every aspect of film production.
