​​LEWIS PULLMAN TALKED ABOUT THE INTENSIVE PREPARATION FOR "TOP GAN"

Lewis Pullman, star of Top Gun: Maverick, detailed the intense flight training that Tom Cruise provided for the actors. More than 35 years after the release of the iconic film, Maverick took off in theaters around the world over the weekend, becoming one of the highest-grossing openings of Cruise's career.
Directed by Joseph Kosinski, Pete "Maverick" Mitchell trains a group of fighter pilots for a dangerous mission in enemy territory.

In an interview with THR, Pullman detailed the intense and interesting experience of going through the training regime from Tom Cruise,
revealing the desire of the main star and producer to achieve the best results from the performers. Pullman explained that Cruz gave the performers a "slow lift" before eventually having them go through a busy path to participating in aerial maneuvers. Check out Pullman's words about Cruise's unique training course below:

"You know
Tom was very generous with his time and his own energy. He created this whole training camp for us. I don't know if I can ever be above this. It's just crazy. But Tom gave us a very slow climb, so we didn't bully ourselves. He understood the task well and what we needed,
to be confident and show excellent performance on these aircraft, performing all these serious aerobatics.
