In 2010, there were plans to make a sequel of Top Gun. At the time Paramount hoped to land the 52-year-old for a small appearance. Then original director Tony Scott decided to direct, and Cruise’s role was said to have grown to lead status. But the 2012 death of Scott shelved Top Gun 2 for years.
Now we are just waiting for Tom Cruise to sign the film and seal the deal.
A tweet recently went viral with a picture of Tom Cruise’s lookalike in Pakistan Air Force. Is he the real double or a doppelganger?
The lookalike was identified as Squadron Leader Yasir Mudasser, a JF-17 pilot of Pakistan Air Force.
Squadron Leader Yasir was photographed while briefing Pakistani Ambassador to Italy Tehmina Janjua about the aircraft during the Paris Air Show. Sporting his black wrap-arounds and a candidly casual and carefree poise Sq Leader looked like Tom Cruise straight out of Top Gun.
Many people thought that the picture was a still from the movie until it was inspected closely and many others even mistook the pilot for the Hollywood heartthrob.
