Athletistic/ Formula 1. Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton has opened up about how he nearly made a cameo in the second Top Gun movie starring Tom Cruise.

“In fact, Tom Cruise and I are friends. He’s one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. He invited me on set many years ago.

I was offered to act as a fighter pilot. However, the filming had to take place during the Formula 1 season. Time constraints made this mission impossible. The most frustrating phone call I’ve ever had was when I told them I couldn’t film,” Vanity Fair quoted Hamilton as saying.
