Tom Cruise did many of his own stunts in the sequel Top Gun: Maverick and he proved that again to celebrate the movie’s success. Top Gun: Maverick is now heading to Paramount+ after a great run in theaters.

Tom jumped out of a helicopter over the ocean to celebrate and thank fans for loving the film. It became Paramount Pictures’ biggest hit and Tom’s personal highest-grossing film. As he sat at the edge of a helicopter, he shared, “Hey everyone, Here we are over sunny South Africa. And we’re filming ‘Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning’ parts one and two.”
