Tom Cruise celebrates four decades of 'Top Gun', Farah Khan says '40 years of admiring you'
Mumbai, May 14
Tom Cruise is celebrating 40 years of his action drama film "Top Gun", which is all set to re-release on the big screen. Indian filmmaker-choreographer Farah Khan says the moment marks four decades of her admiring the Hollywood icon.
Cruise shared a glimpse of himself from the 1986 movie directed by Tony Scott. He went on to write in the caption section: "I'm excited to celebrate 40 years of Top Gun with you all. It's so much fun to see these two films back on the big screen!"
Farah, who is an ardent fan of Cruise and doesn't leave any chance of professing her love for him on social media, took to the comment section and wrote: "TOMMMMMM its great to see you back.. 40 years of admiring you."
This is not the first time Farah fangirled over the Hollywood star. She first shared that she is "eternally grateful" to Cruise for being shirtless in a post in 2020. Earlier this year in April, she gushed over the Hollywood icon saying she "digs him" in his comment section.
Talking about "Top Gun", the film was inspired by an article titled "Top Guns".
The stars Cruise as Lieutenant Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, a young naval aviator aboard the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise. He and his radar intercept officer, Lieutenant Nick "Goose" Bradshaw are given the chance to train at the United States Navy's Fighter Weapons School at Naval Air Station Miramar.
Cruise is now looking forward to the release of his film "Digger," where he will be seen playing Digger Rockwell. The cast also includes Sandra Hüller, John Goodman, Michael Stuhlbarg, Jesse Plemons, Sophie Wilde, Riz Ahmed and Emma D'Arcy.
The plot is still under wraps. However, as per the logline of the upcoming film, it describes Cruise's character as "the most powerful man in the world" who "embarks on a frantic mission to prove that he is humanity's savior before the disaster he's unleashed destroys everything."

Farah Khan's fangirling over Tom Cruise is honestly the most relatable thing ever. 😂 From "eternally grateful for being shirtless" to "4 decades of admiring" - she never fails to make my day! Also, Top Gun is a timeless classic. Maverick and Goose forever! 🔥
I appreciate Tom Cruise's commitment to cinema, but sometimes the Hollywood obsession in Bollywood circles feels a bit one-sided. We have amazing Indian action heroes too. That said, Top Gun is undeniably a great film and Maverick's arc is legendary. Hoping "Digger" brings something fresh!
40 years of Top Gun! 🛩️ I grew up watching this film on VHS with my dad. The beach volleyball scene, the motorcycle rides, and of course "Highway to the Danger Zone" - absolute nostalgia. And Farah Khan is living her best life as a fan, more power to her! Where are my fellow Indian Tom Cruise fans at? 🙌
Tom Cruise is the definition of longevity in Hollywood. From Top Gun to Mission Impossible, he's been consistent. Farah Khan's comments are cute but also a bit extra - but hey, we all have our celebrity crushes! 😅 Excited for the re-release, hopefully theatres in India will show it properly.
Farah Khan has been on a roll with her Tom Cruise admiration! But honestly, who can blame her? The man is a cinema legend. Top Gun changed the game for aviation movies in India too -
