Cinematic performance by Tom Cruise: On Wednesday he flew in a helicopter to the premiere of his film “Top Gun: Maverick”.
Extravagant performance from the air: Tom Cruise (59) flew in style in a helicopter to the premiere of his new film “Top Gun: Maverick” in San Diego, California on Wednesday evening. Upon arrival at the USS Midway, a US Navy aircraft carrier, Cruise disembarked the helicopter, radiant and confident in a black suit and iconic aviator sunglasses, and approached the photographers on the red carpet.
Under his jacket, the actor also wore a white shirt, light gray tie and black vest. He combined it with black dress shoes made of smooth leather.
Although Cruise has held a pilot’s license himself for almost 30 years, he did not fly the black helicopter, which had his name and that of the film written on it in white letters. “I fly this helicopter, but not today,” Cruise confirmed, according to “Entertainment Tonight”.
“Top Gun” sequel in cinemas from May 26th
In addition to Cruise, his co-stars Jennifer Connelly (51), Miles Teller (35), Jon Hamm (51), Monica Barbaro (31) and Lewis Pullman (29) were also present at the premiere. The long-awaited sequel to the popular action film series hits theaters on May 26th.
