When Tom Cruise Revealed How Lady Gaga Helped Compose Top Gun: Maverick Score

As a die-hard Little Monster, I can unequivocally declare that Tom Cruise has earned his badge as a devoted fan of Lady Gaga, and quite possibly the most dedicated one to walk this Earth! His unwavering admiration for her talent and artistry is truly heartwarming.


As a die-hard fan, I can confidently assert that no other admirer comes close to Tom Cruise in terms of fervor and dedication – a true Little Monster extraordinaire! Let’s rewind to 2022 to provide some context for my claim.

During his interview on The Late Late Show with James Corden in May of that year, the famous actor couldn’t stop praising Lady Gaga, who had written the theme song for his upcoming movie Top Gun: Maverick. In April 2022, it was announced that Gaga would be writing this song for the sequel to the original 1986 Top Gun film. When she released Hold My Hand, a heartwarming ballad, the actor (known for his Mission Impossible roles) was genuinely impressed.

In recognition of her outstanding contribution, Cruise thanked Gaga for her song, stating it perfectly matched what the Top Gun crew required. “She shared her song with us and it breathed life into the entire movie,” he enthusiastically praised the ARTPOP artist at one point. “It opened up the emotional depths of the film we hadn’t accessed before. The pieces came together so harmoniously, and her song, which she composed, seamlessly integrated as the underlying melody and rhythm of our film.”

Apart from contributing to the film’s soundtrack, it was disclosed on Corden’s show that the singer was instrumental in creating the movie’s music score as well. Notably, this task was shared with renowned music professional, Hans Zimmer.

In case you were curious about whether Tom Cruise’s appreciation for Lady Gaga a few years back was only on his end, let us clarify that it most definitely wasn’t a one-sided feeling.

The day prior to the actor’s late-night show appearance, the singer paid tribute to Cruise on Instagram with a heartfelt message, expressing gratitude for his visit to her Las Vegas residency. “I adore you, my friend,” Gaga wrote alongside a picture of her sweetly kissing the Oscar-nominated actor’s cheek.

In my viewpoint, I can’t help but express my admiration for this exceptional woman once more. She’s not just an actress or a pop singer; she’s a jazz artist as well. Her talent knows no bounds. Interestingly, my last live performance, which was two years ago, was also a Lady Gaga concert.
