Tom Cruise didn’t start acting until he was just 18 years old. He began his acting career in modest roles, like most new performers do. In 1983, he was a member of The Outsiders’ ensemble cast, but it wasn’t until he featured in Risky Business that same year that his career really took off.
His stardom was cemented once he served as the pilot of the first Top Gun in 1986. The Navy’s TOPGUN flight school, which prepares fighter pilots, was the focus of the film. Along with co-stars Anthony Edwards as Maverick’s right-hand man, Goose, and Val Kilmer as Iceman, Tom Cruise portrays the impulsive adrenaline junkie Pete “Maverick” Mitchell.
His Portrayal Was Liked By Viewers And Reviewers
Action, plane stunts, tragedy, and well-known songs were all featured in this action-packed movie. His portrayal in the movie was well-liked by viewers and reviewers, who yearned to see more of him on the big screen. The rest is history.
Tom Cruise, one of the most experienced actors in the business, went on to star in movies like Jerry McGuire, Born on the Fourth of July, and the Mission: Impossible series, among others. Given that he was born in 1962 and was just 24 years old when Top Gun was released, Tom Cruise played a youthful man in the movie.
In Joseph Kosinski’s Top Gun: Maverick, Maverick, who is now a captain, continues his journey as he is chosen to train a fresh crew of pilots for a perilous mission. Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw, the son of Goose, Maverick’s best buddy who passed away in the first movie, is one of these accomplished pilots.
The Movie Scheduled Postponed
Given that Top Gun: Maverick is soon to be released in theatres, Tom Cruise’s age in the movie is particularly intriguing. The actor is currently 59 years old. However, the movie was initially scheduled for release in 2019, but it was postponed for a number of reasons, including the COVID-19 pandemic.
Cruise would have been 57 years old if the movie had been released on the original planned date. The story won’t finish there, either, as Cruise will return for the May 27 release of “Top Gun: Maverick.” This time, Captain Mitchell will instruct a fresh generation of pilots, including Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw, the son of his closest buddy Goose (Miles Teller).
