I have not watched “Top Gun” in a few years, but, hey, it’s on now. I sat here going, “Dag. I wonder if I’m older than he was when he filmed this.” Finally, I win. I beat you by three years!
But, seriously. Imagine being 24 years old AND being Tom Cruise AND starring in this crazy-ass movie AND having to sit next to foxy Val Kilmer?
Like, what was the casting call like for that movie? “Are you smoking hot? Do you wanna be yelled at by the Principal Stricklin? Do you wanna be a sidekick to Anthony Edwards while he still has hair? Do you wanna do a sex scene that has a musical score by a band that’s also a German city? Well, then, this audition is for you.”
