An excerpt from the book was recently published by The Daily Beast, in which Kilmer reminisces about his time making the cult movie Top Gun, and his personal equation with co-star Tom Cruise.
It seems the actor had the same approach early on in his career when he played the lead role of fighter pilot Maverick in Top Gun.
According to Kilmer, he had developed a bit of a ‘Party boy’ reputation on set, which somewhat put him at odds with Cruise.
Today, of course, Tom Cruise is well-known for his hyper-focused approach to action movies.
