With the premiere of Top Gun: Maverick just around the corner, Tom Cruise is still promoting the film and saw no better option than to bring The Late Late Show host James Corden back on top of a plane, piloted by the actor himself, of course.
At this point we already know that Tom Cruise he can do everything, there is no acrobatic that surpasses him. Many will say that he is crazy, while others say that he is an adventurer and that he is an actor only to do the extreme activities that he wants. However, from the first top gun (1986), Cruise he never stopped climbing buildings, piloting and jumping out of planes and learning all sorts of things.
to advertise Top Gun: Mavericka film that hits theaters on May 26, Tom Cruise had no better idea than to repeat his 2018 plan, where he led james corden (anchor of The Late Late Show) to jump out of a plane, as in Mission: Impossible – Fallout. However, four years later, the actor convinced the Englishman to get back on another plane, but this time driven by the very same Cruise.
In the video, when Cruise tells him the plan he has in mind to do together with Cordenin one day top gunthe presenter tells him: “You are an actor, not a pilot. With all due respect, if you’re playing a lawyer, I wouldn’t want you to represent me in court.”. After that, Corden runs away
“I’m so excited that James is doing this“, said Cruisebefore piloting to Corden in a 1944 propeller plane.”Was that the first late night show I asked? Hell no. He was just the first, the only one who said yes.”
Yes ok Corden He didn’t seem very enthusiastic about the plan, in the video he not only admitted that “when he calls Tom Cruiseyou have to say yes“, but we can also see that he received quite a high-flying experience and that he was like an involuntary participant/student of top gun. The best of all? He had as a teacher Tom CruiseNot even in dreams does that happen.
To begin, with the presenter already sitting on the plane, Cruise explained to Corden that, in the event of losing the engine or something happening, he was going to turn the plane over so that the Englishman jumped out and could open the parachute. Obviously this didn’t help Corden calm down, after all his life was in the hands of the actor and his piloting skills.
Already in the air, the presenter quickly placed a sign in the window that said “Help me“. Following this, another plane appears to challenge them and things pick up speed. Cruise he does not hesitate to make turns and pass close enough to the mountains to get away from the other pilot. “You did it well“, the actor told Corden after they landed, to which the Englishman replied: “The fact that this is your idea of a fun day tells me how different we are as human beings.”
Just when Corden I thought that they could now go for a drink in peace, like normal friends who get together in a square, Cruise He tells: “The next plane has air conditioning”. This time, both will get on a jet suitable for modern aerial warfare, again piloted by the actor. However, first Corden have to undergo training Top Gun.
Given the presenter’s refusal, Cruise He tells: “You are my Goose”in reference to the best friend of Maverick in the original 1986 film.”when you say i’m you Gooseit excites me and then I realize that Goose dies at the end of the movie“, answer back Corden. “Are Goose in the first half of the movie“, he insisted Cruise.
As the flight was in the morning of the next day, Corden Y Cruise they play a little volleyball and do typical camping activities to kill time. When it’s time to get on the next plane, the host sits back, puts on his helmet and jokes about how he looks compared to Cruise: “You look like a fighter pilot, I look like a hamster.”
Unlike the previous flight, james corden it seems that he gained confidence and wanted to give him a bit of the wave of his segment Carpool Karaoke singing Danger Zone from Kenny Loggins Y Old Time Rock and Roll from Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Bandtwo famous songs from Top Gun.
But since the presenter was already grabbing the hand of enjoyment, Cruise it began to go faster, to turn and to fly near (and between) mountains. “This is absolutely ridiculous. This is the craziest thing… this is the stupidest thing I’ve ever done.”He said Corden. Then, to close with a flourish, Tom Cruise He swooped down and then climbed up and turned the plane around, all with a smile on his face.
james corden Y Tom Cruise flipped:
back on land, Cruise praised Corden for how he handled everything: “you can be my wingman anytime”. To which the English replied: “Did you know? I think I’m fine”.
