when'd you watch it uh i saw it on friday oh so you're still
buzzing i'm still i'm buzzing is enough time i wasn't expecting
yeah i'm going to begin guys asking about obviously this is the sequel to the original
had you guys all seen the original when this kind of like came up you were like [ __ ] that maybe i
better go back and catch up i mean i saw it reach like freshly from that that space i saw it like
my college years of my sophomore year of college so it was just one of those things that was fresh
on the mind thinking that there was no way that there's a sequel made like it just didn't
feel like a possible thing so um and at that point when i got the audition i was like oh
this is it's too good to be true i saw it when i was a child i was a big action
film uh lover and uh i thought it was very different from what i was used to seeing like the
the shooting and and the banging explosions and the foot chases fights and stuff like that
i thought it was cool to be in the air fighting shooting bang
i saw it as a kid i saw it like eight or nine years old on an air force base my dad was in
the air force so i saw it uh in a room full of pilots and and other folks who support aviation
and uh it was absolutely amazing but i think we probably all went back and watched it again
as homework like probably before the audition and then again after the audition mm-hmm
and while filming and while filming yeah i know so tom was really keen to get everyone on that kind
of uh to learn how to basically to pilots and to to do this i was wondering because i spoke
to Miles [Teller] and he said he picked up all his skills and then he's kind of dropped it but then glenn is
trying to like pursue it even further what about all of you guys are you this something that you've
got a real passion for that you wanted to to keep keep doing you know they've actually encouraged me
to say like hey let me dive into it and get my my my license yeah i'm a couple hours in
yeah i went back and started working on my i just have to finish my ground school actually
yeah so ground school is kind of what uh what the stage wrong which is what tom uh ended up he
overheard a conversation of us wanting to continue to pursue this and then the next day he's like i
want you guys to come to my trailer with me and then we we it's this beautiful trailer by the
way and then like we just see a bunch of magical magical imagine you see pictures of like every
amazing movie moment that he's been a part of like just in this shelf so you're like oh wow this is
history and then in the middle yeah oh yeah sits us down and then pulls out these boxes beautiful
ribbons and we're like what is this like what have we done to it and then we opened it up right he
goes he starts off he does he goes he goes i heard that you guys yes we're all excited about aviation
and i wanted to give you something because all i ever wanted was for you guys to love it as
much as i love it and so then we all open the box at the same time right yeah the the ribbon
yeah pop it open it's an ipad and inside are it's essentially the rest of our ground school paid for
for us to like do the academic portion of it and then there's a the coolest part to me it was just
like a beautiful detail was a hundred dollar gift card in order for us to buy all the dictionaries
available on the uh the apple store so we got like it was for webster's it like it gave you
the list of the sources very very detailed yeah very detailed it was it was a wonderful thoughtful
gift to like to help us pursue the next step of uh our pilot's license i mean all of you you're
professionals you've been doing this now for a little while but when you're in a scene with tom
cruise in top gun is every little voice inside you just goes this is pretty cool yeah i remember the
first time i seen him if you don't freeze up yeah we we did a particular scene where you know we did
it a lot of times and you know he gets introduced into the scene and you know obviously he's not
there he's not there he's not there and then this one time he's actually there and you're just
looking like holy sh you know we're saying we're talking about yeah yeah yeah and i mean and just
to sit there and watch him work is like wow i'm so used to seeing you in the theater now i'm watching
it up close that is magical in the process like even during that scene it was cool to see that
every lens he already knew he'd work according to the lens which is we we do that sometimes but
in regards to like not just like going from a close-up to a medium shot but he knew like exactly
the differentiation of like how many millimeters and the distance the camera was and therefore like
he knew the exact frame already without having to check the monitor which is just i'm looks
unbelievably impressive my favorite moment is in that scene like originally in that scene he calls
each one of us individually and asks us to answer a question and i remember like i'm sitting back
like just like all cool like whatever man you're going to answer the question and literally i don't
know what happened i just looked up and it was tom cruise was standing in front of me and i was like
take his breath away he's like full i just lost he was fully lost in the moment it was
amazing it was so good to find the words even with all those dictionaries thank you so much
thank you ladies and gentlemen you're watching hey you guys hey you guys how are you guys
