Agutter stars as Sister Julienne in the drama series. Asked if she would ever bring up the issue with Cruise, Agutter marveled, "Imagine. ‘Excuse me Tom, but look we’re trying to film. I don’t know about you, but just get your helicopter out of here quickly!'"

Cruise, known for being his own stuntman in several of his projects, did not actually fly an F-18 aircraft in "Top Gun." The Navy did not permit the actor to operate the machinery, although it can be seen in the movie.
"He flies a P-51 in the movie and he flies helicopters. He can do just about anything in an airplane," producer of "Top Gun: Maverick" Jerry Bruckheimer told Empire Magazine.
