Val Kilmer recalls partying, pranking Tom Cruise on Top Gun set in new memoir
, out now, Kilmer discusses his experience making the film, which began with him very reluctantly meeting director"I didn’t want the part. I didn’t care about the film. The story didn’t interest me," the erstwhile Iceman writes.
"Tony Scott’s British enthusiasm was the pick-me-up my ego craved," Kilmer writes of the late filmmaker. "Ultimately, he overwhelmed my disdain for the project with pure unadulterated positivity. Every day he would exclaim, 'This is incredible! This is beautiful! This is beyond belief. You guys are going to be kings.'"
Kilmer adds that his "favorite moment" with Cruise was "a small prank in which I gave him an extremely expensive bottle of champagne but placed it in the middle of a giant field and made him follow scavenger-hunt-style clues to find it."
