The star of the military action movie “Top Gun: Maverick” Glen Powell admitted that he was extremely frightened by a prank, which once arranged for him a colleague on the project Tom Cruise.
According to the actor, Tom Cruise pretended to lose control of the helicopter while piloting it, while Glen Powell himself was its passenger. The prank happened when the two of them were returning to London after another stage of the movie “Top Gun: Maverick” at Pinewood Studios, located about 18 miles from England’s capital.
“Tom suddenly starts screaming, ‘Oh, no, oh, no!’ and the helicopter abruptly loses altitude over London. I thought at the time: “Well, am I going to be the nameless guy who dies with Tom in a smoking hole in the center of London?”, – he said.
Glen Powell also noted that someday he’d like to be “like Tom Cruise” and get his pilot’s license. “He has his own helicopter, after all, and he knows how to pilot jets,” he added.
