Tom Cruise did NOT pilot the $70 million fighter plane he is seen 'flying' in Top Gun: Maverick
However, veteran producer Jerry Bruckheimer has come clean and admitted that although they had clearance to put Cruise and other actors in the F-18s, they were merely passengers in the cockpit.
In Top Gun: Maverick he flies other planes and is seen apparently flying the Super Hornet via cameras installed – but experience Navy pilots are holding the stick. 'I have done more aerial sequences than any other actor, from Top Gun to American Made to Mission Impossible Fallout [that saw him put that helicopter into a controlled spin and perform the first ever on-screen High Altitude Low Open, or HALO, skydive out the back of that C-17].
'I was always looking towards Top Gun. Even though I hadn't yet committed to it, I was already developing a visual language of what we could do. I was always developing and studying the rigs. I was interested in making those movies anyway, of course, but it was also a progression in storytelling, in understanding how to do it, from a technical standpoint and a story standpoint. I don't make a movie just to make a movie. And I've been that way my whole life.
Passenger: Veteran producer Jerry admitted that although they had clearance to put Cruise and other actors in the F-18s, they were merely passengers in the cockpit Cruise learned to fly when he was 31 and made The Firm with director Sydney Pollack. When the movie wrapped Pollack gave him a gift of flying lessons, saying: 'You gotta learn how to fly now, or you're never gonna do it. I know it's one of your passions – you gotta go do it. It's gonna take you forever to do this…' Six weeks later he took Pollack to dinner and told him that he had learned to fly.
