Tom Cruise once frightened his Top Gun: Maverick co-star Glen Powell during a skydiving excursion some years ago.

Powell recalled the incident on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, stating that Top Gun actor Tom Cruise nearly killed him.

“We were gonna go do some reshoots in London. I say, ‘I wanna go skydiving while I’m out here,’ and he says, ‘The skydiving here is great’,” The actor said.

Powell continued: “[Cruise] sends a helicopter for me but it got so windy that the skydiving team – I was with the UK skydiving team – said it’s so dangerous we should not go skydiving. I said, ‘Alright, I’m no hero.

“So we scrapped it and went back, and then Tom hit me up a couple of weeks later and was like, ‘Hey man, what are you scared?’ You never took me up on skydiving.”

“So, with the girl that I was seeing at that time, it was our second date, we went skydiving and when I got there, I found out that Tom’s only request was that Glen cannot go skydiving with another person,” he said

“He has to go solo the first time. So I literally have to jump out of this plane by myself, but the worst part is that I couldn’t find my tab when I was falling.

“My first thought was like, ‘Oh Tom just killed me, he’s gonna feel so bad.’ I’m looking for the tab and I went, ‘You’re not Tom Cruise, you’ll never be Tom Cruise, why did you do this?’

“And then I finally pulled it, I was way below altitude, came in hot, made it.”

Tom Cruise is well admired and recognized for his extraordinary acting abilities. The 60-year-old actor has received numerous awards, including three Golden Globes, three MTV Movie Awards, and two People’s Choice Awards, yet shockingly, he has never won an Oscar.
