We all are waiting anxiously for Top Gun: Maverick, the sequel to the classic 1986 flick Top Gun. They have just begun filming and there is very little known about the follow-up, but we know it will be huge. Tom Cruise (duh) returns as the titular Maverick, and Val Kilmer reprises his role as Iceman. Take a look at Top Gun cast then and now, how these celebrities now look and what they’ve been up to since they first took our breath away.
We know that Tom Cruise is an exception and he still looks amazing even 33 years later, but it's not the same for other actors of Top Gun. The rest of the cast looks 30 years older like normal human beings.
