During a thoughtful moment, 'Top Gun: Maverick' star Glen Powell reflects on the action film's sweaty and sandy diversion, the already-famous dogfight football scene.
told USA TODAY how hard the original"Top Gun" stars competed . But late"Top Gun" director Tony Scott surprised them all with the filming date, dumping a truckload of sand and telling the actors to play. "Everyone had their calendar circled, with 'This is dogfight football day. Break out the coconut oil and the spray tan, let's do this!'"says Kosinski."And I knew I just had to shoot the hell out of it.
"Each of us went crazy. We'd all seen the original 'Top Gun' scene," he says."I was eating more grass than a bunny rabbit and protein bars. I was in peak form. It was like, 'Oh, yes.'"Only Cruise, 59, insists he did not work out differently to prepare for the big game. "I just did it," he says. "There was a lot of male insecurity, guys were eating protein paste," says Powell, who recalls the prep work continuing right until game time. "Everybody had resistance bands and weights on the beach, trying to get one last pump before we played football."Kosinski made the most of an epic autumn day on the beach in Coronado, California. Former pro football quarterback Matt Moore worked as a choreography consultant to help get the most physical bang onscreen.
Cruise repeated his infamous volleyball fashion choice: shirtless with blue jeans."Maverick wears jeans, it's what he does," Kosinski says.
