Tom Cruise is looking back on an emotional reunion that occurred on set of “Top Gun: Maverick” between his character Maverick and Val Kilmer’s Iceman.

Suffice to say, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house when Kilmer had his big screen reunion with Tom Cruise, 36 years after the original “Top Gun.” The moment was so powerful that not even Cruise could keep the tears in. “I just want to say that was pretty emotional. I’ve known Val for decades,” Cruise said during a recent appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” “For him to come back and play that character…he’s such a powerful actor, that he instantly became that character again…you’re looking at Iceman.”
