Letterman made a remark regarding the actor from Top Gun: Maverick’s absence from the Oscars in 2023.

Cruise and Top Gun: Maverick both received six Academy Award nominations, but Cruise, who served as one of the movie’s producers, was not there.

“We don’t know where Tom Cruise was,” Kimmel who hosted the latest awards ceremony answered.

“We heard production issues.”

“What does that mean?” Letterman asked. “That’s nonsense.”

“Exactly. It’s very non-specific,” Kimmel said. “But we have no idea what happened.”

Letterman went on to say that Cruise “should’ve been” at the Oscars “celebrating his big jet pack Maverick show.”

“Yeah. It seems like he should’ve been there, but he was not there. Maybe he feels like he wasn’t going to win so he didn’t want to come.”

“But between you and me, he should have been there right?” Letterman then asked Kimmel.

“Yeah of course,” Kimmel answered. “He’s the prince of Hollywood.”

“More to the power of your success,” Letterman added. “If Mr. Big Shot was not there, the show was still never more successful. Nice going, Jimmy.”
