Only Tom Cruise can thank his fans this way for supporting Top Gun: Maverick

Top Gun: Maverick is undoubtedly one of the biggest and most-loved films of the year. With the film receiving the same kind of love every time it is re-released across the world,  Top Gun: Maverick is set to premiere on Paramount+ and Prime Video soon. While the film will be available on Paramount+ on December 22, it will stream on Prime Video from December 26.

In a daredevil gesture that can only be thought of and executed by the world's greatest action superstar, and if I may, the last superstar of the world, Tom Cruise jumps off a flying airplane thanking people for supporting the film. 

In the video shared on social media, we see Tom Cruise travelling with his Mission Impossible director Christopher McQuarrie, who flatly and smartly refuses to join Tom Cruise on that stunt. This sequence was part of his upcoming film, Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning.

Here's the video:

Before swivelling down from the skies, Tom Cruise profusely thanks the fans, and says,  "Thank you for coming out to the theatres, and supporting Top Gun: Maverick. Thank you for allowing us to entertain you. It is truly an honour of this lifetime."

And in a line that is delivered with sardonic wit and delicious irony, Tom Cruise wishes all of us a very happy and safe holidays before diving down the skies as he continues filming for Dead Reckoning, which will be released in two parts.
