This guy fly's jets, helicopters, drives race cars, does his own stunts. whether or not you like him you have to admit, this guy is the real deal and has balls of solid titanium

The fact that Cruise is actually a pilot just makes the Top Gun franchise that much better. What a friggin' legend.

Tom Cruise, makes you feel, like you haven’t done enough with your life. He’s that amazing.

My respect for Mr Cruise He is the definition of owning it. Incredible actor, stunt, pilot... simply the best!!

As a pilot, I can tell you that the amount of time it takes to get to that level of comparability in that caliber of plane is immense. He has obviously spent an extraordinary amount of time and money flying with instructors and on his own. Good for him to pursue that passion...

No matter what you think of him, the fact that he wants to give the audience a real deal experience of his action sequences is why we all go to his movies

This is totally hilarious. Tom Cruise has a terrific sense of humour and carries it off so well. Would love to have had that flight ..

The comedic side of Tom Cruise is actually interesting. Much respect to him for ever and always

I have huge respect for Tom Cruise. Nobody pushes themselves through the training required to become a fighter pilot merely for money. He genuinely cares about producing very high quality movies for his audiences.

The man is pushing 60 and still cooler than most twentysomethings will ever be.

"I'm gonna jump" "And I'll catch you" Lol same energy

Tom is truly a amazing man. Has the guts and talent to overcome any obstacles in his path, and a real inspiration for us all. This is how to be happy and humble. Thank you Tom!

Tom really looks like he’s in his element here. More relaxed than I’ve seen him in regular interviews lol

This makes me love Tom Cruise. His sense of humor and perfect delivery in this entire segment is amazing.

Tom: hes still on our tail? James: i don't give a shit ! 😅

Tom made everything looks easy wow and the amount of trust James has to Tom is incredible

I think we all agree that Tom Cruise is a brilliant actor, pilot and stunt man but can we please give him credit for his sense of humour BECAUSE THAT MARSHMALLOW PART ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT!

Tom Cruise is the definition of living life to the fullest lol

I like James' reaction to the parachute like he's assuming the worst thing that could happen in a plane 😂

This is one, if not THE ONE, of my favorite collaborations.. so funny and entertaining.

Tom is on another level in this life. Absolutely inspiring.

Tom Cruise has been a pilot IRL since shortly after the first Top Gun. He enjoyed the role so much and the feel of flying, he decide to get his pilot license.

James.... you LUCKY LUCKY BASTARD! That is an experience of a lifetime ❤

Love James, he makes me laugh constantly with the stuff he comes up with. They both truly had fun.

Imagine being so good at everything that flying a jet is another skill. What a legend.

I knew Tom Cruise was a pilot but now after watching Top Gun 2, learning about the training course he designed for the actors, and watching this I can tell he really is a pilot's pilot. It's obvious he's passionate and cares about aviation immensely.

That is no doubt some sophisticated piloting of two very different high caliber aircraft. Mad respect to TC for that. Like icing on the cake that is his vast movie career.

I love Tom Cruise. He seems so fun and has an excellent sense of humor. He's a great man ❤️

Tom Cruise is a true badass. He’s one of the best and most dedicated actors out there.

its so easy to forget that he is a PROPER pilot and has been doing this for longer than a lot of commercial aircraft pilots have

No denying that was a GREAT episode. Tom Cruise is one of America's greatest movie stars and personalities. Love him! And I was not a pilot but I was in VF-1 during ODS.

The difference between James after landing when they went skydiving and when they landed in this video is crazy 🤣

At this point I feel like he's not playing Ethan or Maverick in action movies. He's playing himself because he's so badass

Tom really looks like he’s in his element here. More relaxed than I’ve seen him in regular interviews.

Maverick was simply awesome!! Loved the flying.

This is awesome, i still laugh out loud during the campfire time, Tom has great chemistry with James

My Tom Cruise story. My dad is in the movie business and he took me to about 20 movie premieres in Hollywood/Los Angeles when I was a teenager and their after parties(when the venue allowed). I can’t count how many movie stars I met. But Tom was the most impressive by far. His character was a pleasant surprise and pleasure to witness. The majority of actors/actresses didn’t want to mingle at the after parties much or at all. He’s the only one that I’ve ever seen literally spend hours meeting and saying hi to people, literally a lined formed, he looked at each person in the eyes, making them feel like they were special and genuinely engaging with every single person. I asked my Dad about that and he said Tom considers the moments he shares with his fans and supporters as his duty as a lead an actor and to the film. Truly impressive human.

Tom cruise is the definition of living life to the fullest

Top Gun 3 should feature james as Tom’s wingman.

One of the reasons Tom Cruise is one of my favorite actors. This video was AWESOME. Would love to see Tom Cruise start an aviation UKposts channel!

I’ve been a pilot for 42 years and I’m very impressed with the skill that Tom showed up. Congratulations. Keep on you’re doing a great job.

Riding as a backseater in a jet withTom Cruise is ultimate bucket list level.

Tom cruise is just incredible. What a human being ❤

These 2 are awesome together, making funny skits; so creative!

Tom Cruise is not a movie star. He’s THE movie star.

Tom Cruise doesn't make movies. Hollywood makes movies of Tom Cruise's average days. Seriously this guy is a beast in energy, talent and skill.

I love Tom Cruise's sense of humour! 😂😂😂😂

I never get tired of coming back to this episode

36 years since the first movie, and Tom doesn't look like he's hardly aged at all - Outstanding 👍

The fact that Tom can do this with a straight face shows some comedy skills.

Giod timing on his part getting this movie out now and paying deep respect to our fighter pilots. God bless you Tom and all our pilots who patrol our skies to keep us safe

There’s nobody on planet earth as professional as Tom cruise. I really adore the guy.

Love him or hate him you cannot take away from Tom Cruise that he puts his heart and soul into his movies. Doing his own stunts, learning new skills and taking risks is what makes him a fabulous actor. He’s not a young man anymore but he’s still at full throttle, fair play Tom, I for one salute you 💙

…Now that’s how you promote a movie 🍿🤩

I love Tom Cruise he owns many planes and knows how to fly. This is freaking hilarious 😂

That dude is quite literally the textbook definition of Adrenaline Junkie! If there’s a exciting new rush or a dangerously new thriller…Tom Cruise is already all over it.

This is the best interaction I've ever seen him have with a talkshow. There wasn't any obtrusive questions, solatious gossip. They genuinely had good fun together. It was awesome.

This promo piece has better production values than most movies. Love him or loathe him, Cruise gives 110% to everything he does.

Tom Cruise the definition of a true "Movie Star". Hollywood has not fully appreciated him.

Tom has a great sense of humor, that is so good to see.

I never knew Tom Cruise is a legit certified pilot. That’s dope! Just got a new found respect for him

No matter what he does, Tom Cruise simply cares deeply about that magic excitement of movies and he's never lost it. I love that he cares even more about realism and practical effects. In an era of massive cynicism, Tom Cruise keeps the fun and wonder in movies. The fact that he flies jets is just incredible haha

this should have been a Blockbuster Movie already !! Tom and james 😂😂 Great Guys ❤

These 2 are HILARIOUS TOGETHER

Man, James is a lucky guy. To go flying with a legend in his own time. That would be the coolest thing ever.

Of all the movies and interviews and bits he's ever been a part of, I think Tom was his most real self in this. Him cracking up with the burning marshmallow was priceless! LOL

James is so lucky to do this. Really funny too. Great job

That is one unique dude. He’s good at everything and does it all and studies and works hard every craft he puts his mind to. Tom might get there someday.

Massive props to the film crew on this, it all round looked amazing, the ground scenes could easily fit into a movie and the Air scenes were even better

There'll never be another Tom Cruise. He's insane.

Flying is so much fun! What a blast watching this.

Could you imagine being a 18yr old kid in WW2 and hearing these things flying overhead.

Total respect for Cruise - He is the definition of owning it. From his own stunts to learning how to do everything himself whether it's flying, racing, scaling a high rise and more. You have to appreciate his skills and his acting talent. I love his humor here. I love the "get it done" mentality.

I love that plane. My father would have love it. He loved old planes, and learned late in life to fly.

My favorite All-Time Hero & Actor, Tom Cruise

It is absolutely unbelievable to me that Tom is turning 60 this year. The man is living life better than people half his age

They recorded insane quality footage for a late show that gives the original Top Gun a run for its money. Tom is a legend and a national treasure.

That's the crazy thing: Tom IS a real pilot - turbine- and multi-engine certified and everything.

Years ago, I thought Tom might have gone off his rocker (I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about) but I've come to realize that he is just a passionate individual who really enjoys what he does and who really cares for others. He is definitely one of my favorite people.

The moment I knew Tom Cruise was no joke is when I seen him strapped to the side of a military cargo plane and it took off in the air 15,000 feet. Dude is balls to the wall nuts all about his own stunts, love him or hate him he's a beast. This is the best duo in television hands down.

Tom Cruise really is an amazing one of a kind man. Incredible actor and very very talented.

imagine getting flown in a jet by Tom Cruise - what would I give for that.

Im convinced Tom Cruise is an Alien 👽😂 he is absolutely amazing at everything he does, no human can be that multi talented, and he does not age at all, looks fantastic for someone in his 60's 👌🏻

Tom is just living the best possible life, man. It's gonna be such a shame to lose him one day. Legend.

These two guys together will be the perfect duo for a action comedy movie. Don't you think!?

Tom cruise is a real life hero he is a very hard working man so he can do whatever he decides to do no limitation for him

This video is more exciting than most of movies. I love u Tom

Every movie promo should be this entertaining & funny! These two together are brilliant. 😄

Love him or hate him, you HAVE to admire this man's desire to fully commit to a role AND his passion / love of movies. There is NO ONE just like this man in the industry anymore.

The fact that someone could feel any emotion besides the absolute joy of the lifetime of hundreds of people in a plane like that is beyond me.

Tom is a man's man. How can you not like this guy.

Shout out to all the other camera people and pilots who were in the air and filming to make this happen! World class

Props to Tom and James for doing this stuff for our entertainment.

There work really really well together. James is just so non threatening and funny as F 😂😂😂

love these two together

He is 60 years old and still coolest than other young actors

Hate him or love him you really gotta give it up to Tom. Wow. Is an incredible actor. Flies helicopters. Planes. Does all of his own stunts. An absolute craftsman. This is nuts.

Tom is living life to the full, what a great human being.

Tom Cruise losing it as he's doing the bit at 9:50 is freaking hilarious. He is objectively one of the coolest dudes on the planet, I have so much respect for him and his dedication to his craft and life itself. What a legend

As a commercial airline pilot of 38 years I can say that it takes an extensive amount of simulation time along with an immense mental aptitude to be able to navigate these rare private cargo fleet lines. This is in fact the only plane of its day to be marked with the circle starlight 44 emblem (which was only reserved for the best of the best) AND is THE ONLY plane of its era to have not 1 BUT 2 inverted 45 degree wingspans which MUST BE be deployed manually inside the cockpit with a special hand clutch which allows this beauty to perform continuous barrel rolls as perfectly displayed by Cruise! Hats off to YOU Tom for making this look so damn easy because it is incredibly difficult to make these type of manovers!!!
