Tom Cruise scared Glen Powell with a helicopter prank.

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.

Glen Powell previously revealed that it was Tom Cruise who convinced him to take part in “Top Gun” after he auditioned for the role, which was eventually played by Miles Teller, but didn’t get it. “I have to give Tom credit, very often people just try to put you on the hook to do some movie and none of the promises are kept. But he fulfilled every single one of them. And I’m really proud of this movie and my role in it.”
