Whether the sweat is due to the stressful situations the characters find themselves in or the hot interiors (or both), Cruise’s Maverick and his compatriots always seem to be drenched.

Most of the actors appearing in the movie are constantly covered with copious amounts of sweat.

While the Mean Tweet is funny just because it’s hard to imagine ever mixing up Tom Hanks with Tom Cruise, it also hilariously points out an aspect of Top Gun that’s hard to miss. It seems like, in the above clip, Hanks is lightly poking fun at the other star, jokingly “taking it personally” that anyone would ever confuse him with Cruise. From his Scientology beliefs to his bizarre talk show appearances (his couch-jumping Oprah segment quite literally redefined the general public’s relationship to celebrities), Cruise’s media appearances have sometimes done him more harm than good. While Hanks has maintained a reputation as a nice guy and an easy-to-work-with star, Cruise has had a decidedly more controversial public persona over the years.

“Tom Hanks is so sweaty in Top Gun,” the Tweet reads, “get a shower you smelly little dwarf.” After a brief pause, Hanks replies, “That, I take personally.” Check out the full video below: SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAYĪppearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live during the popular “Mean Tweets” segment, Hanks has a perfect reaction when a fan mistakes him for Cruise’s Maverick character in Top Gun. While the two actors have followed drastically different career paths, with Hanks opting for more prestigious dramatic work and Cruise deciding to go all-in as an action hero with the thriving Mission: Impossible franchise, both men are the epitome of the classic Hollywood movie star, and continue to churn out hit films year after year. 1983’s Risky Business, followed by the 1986 aerial combat hit Top Gun, made Cruise a massive star and a household name. It was 1988’s Big that really propelled the actor into superstardom, and he would go on to star in a number of great films, including Forrest Gump, You’ve Got Mail, Apollo 13, Cast Away, Saving Private Ryan, Toy Story, Catch Me If You Can, and the commercially successful Da Vinci Code franchise.Įqually as well known, Cruise, who is only about six years younger than Hanks, also saw his acting career take off in the 1980s. Hanks, who just recently appeared in Finch for Apple TV, is one of the most recognizable actors working in Hollywood today.
