Tom Cruise plays his action roles himself without the need for stunt doubles. Tom Cruise, an American actor and film producer, undoubtedly gives his all in his films, and this time was no exception.
The winner of three Golden Globe Awards, he has starred in films of great critical and commercial success. The actor is considered one of the highest-paid and most influential actors in Hollywood. In 2020, with a net worth of $570 million, he was ranked as the second richest actor in the world by “Forbes” magazine.
Tom Cruise's films have grossed more than $4 billion in the United States and more than $10 billion worldwide, making Cruise one of the film industry's highest-grossing actors of all time. This is because the producer puts his all into his films just as he did in the recording of the scenes for “Top Gun Maverick”, a film that will hit Argentine cinemas on May 26.
The second part of “Top Gun” will be released soon and fans of the movie are looking forward to it. Let us remember that more than 30 years ago the first “Top Gun” movie was released, which was a true phenomenon of popular culture, which promoted this sequel also starring Tom Cruise. Thus, the actor wants to give a second part that lives up to the first, so he subjected his team to a very risky routine.
Incredibly, the stunt scenes in “Top Gun Maverick” were recorded by the actors without the need for stunt doubles. This is typical of Cruise who in the latest “Mission: Impossible” films has been shown to not need stunt doubles. Thus, the producer considers that his films must be real, so he created "Special Training" for the new protagonists of the film.
Tom Cruise will once again step into the shoes of Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, who now instead of being the intrepid rookie, will be the flight instructor for the new aviators. The actor worked alongside trainers from the United States Navy and prepared exercises, drills, and breathing underwater so that the actors of the second edition of “Top Gun” could resist the pressure. According to a promotional video released by Cruise, the training lasted three months, during which they were also physically prepared like military personnel.
