'Top Gun' sequel's filming delayed as Tom Cruise learns to fly fighter jets to make stunts look realistic
The lead actor's decision to perfect his stunts and learn how to fly jets could mean a possible halt in production for months
According to a new report, actor Tom Cruise has been delaying the shooting of the hugely anticipated 'Top Gun' sequel, just so he can master a new skill — piloting fighter jets. The actor has been spending all his time and energy in learning how to fly the jets in order to ensure his stunts in the new movie look as realistic as possible.
According to the Sun, the lead actor's decision to perfect his stunts and learn how to fly jets could mean a possible halt in production for months.
Cruise, who is set to reprise his role as Maverick for the upcoming sequel to the 1986 movie, has always been considered notoriously daring, especially when it comes to performing his own stunts for movies.
