Glen Powell spoke with The Hollywood Reporter on the red carpet of the ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ movie premiere.
Transcript
00:00Well, you know, Tom does not half-ass anything, as we all know.
00:11Tom put together a flight program for all of us so that by the time we graduated to the F-18
00:17that we wouldn't be passing out or puking in naval assets, and he trained us for exactly that.
00:23So when you have Maverick training you how to fly, and that enthusiasm, it really rubs off on you.
00:33And I got my pilot's license off of this movie.
00:35I've been flying around because of Tom.
00:38It's like his enthusiasm, his love for aviation becomes all of our love for it.
00:42Craziest thing you saw?
00:43Tom do.
00:45Craziest thing I saw Tom do was we were literally shooting on the flight deck,
00:51and he literally had a conversation with us.
00:53Jumped in his P-51, took off into the sunset, and literally, as if it were planned,
00:59he went wing-up on cue, and you're just like, this guy's the coolest dude in the world.
01:03He's just the best.
01:04I mean, Tom Cruise is Maverick, but he's as cool off-screen as he is on.
01:09And the beach volleyball scene was very famous in the first one.
01:12You had a beach football experience.
01:15Yeah, all greased up playing sports again, yep.
01:18What would you have picked to shoot and show off of me?
01:20I will say, if you are going to play a competitive game of beach football,
01:26I would not do it greased up.
01:27It's very hard to hold on to a football.
01:31Yeah, you can't throw a good pass when you're greased up, that's for sure.
01:36But, yeah, I was cut off the beach grease, for sure.
01:39Yeah, thank you guys, appreciate it.
