Fans think they’veuncoveredthe picture of Tom Cruise’s helicopter “prank” on Glen Powell during theirTop Gun: Maverickdays.

In an interviewpublishedyesterday with GQ, Glen said that the noted Scientologist offered him a helicopter ride back to London from their reshoots at Pinewood.

“Tom goes ‘oh no, oh no,’ and he starts dropping the helicopter over London,” Glen recalled. “I was like, ‘Am I about to be the unnamed guy that dies with Tom in a smoking hole in the middle of London?’”

This tale is whysome peoplefelt drawn to revisit Glen’s March 2023 Instagram post captioned, “Over and Out.”

I mean, it’s possible this is a recreation of the moment, but that is some strong vein action.

Glen further said that Tom sent him to a six-hour “film school” movie, which consisted of Tom speaking to the camera and Glen alone in the movie theater. “He said, ‘This is just for my friends,'” Glen added.

Hahahaha all so fun and definitely not terrifying!
