Jay Ellis is flying high on the success of his new role in, but even he'll admit that getting to meet Prince William and Kate Middleton at the recent royal premiere of the film in London left him feeling a little insecure!«It was absolutely insane,» Ellis raved to ET's Rachel Smith as the pair met up in Times Square to check out the new billboards and surprise some lucky fans with tickets to the film.«They tell you all these [rules of etiquette] like, all these things that you have to do,» he shared of meeting the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. «They speak to you first, you reach out your hand… 'Your royal highness, nice to meet you.»«And then the first question you ask is like, 'So, um, how are you?'» he continued with a laugh. «No one knew what to say.

Val Kilmer’s daughter, Mercedes Kilmer, is reflecting on her experience witnessing her father lay down scenes on the set of "Top Gun: Maverick." The 30-year-old actress recalled being present when Kilmer, 62, made his anticipated cameo in the upcoming Tom Cruise flick as Tom "Iceman" Kazansky, the arch-nemesis of Cruise’s Pete "Maverick" Mitchell. According to the New York Post, both stars appear together in a scene, reuniting the pair in which Iceman and Maverick Mitchell come face-to-face and each deliver heartwarming performances that marked a culmination for the film franchise.

In 1983, producer Jerry Bruckheimer was flipping through the May issue of California magazine when he was struck by a story. "Top Guns" read the headline, with a large photograph from inside the cockpit of an F-14 fighter jet.The story opened: "At Mach 2 and 40,000 feet over California, it’s always high noon." "I saw that cover and I said, ‘We gotta do this.This looks great,'" recalls Bruckheimer. "It's 'Star Wars' on Earth." And at the box office, "Top Gun" did nearly reach "Star Wars" proportions.
