Top Gun: Maverick star Tom Cruise recreates the iconic Les Grossman dance moves from Tropic Thunder

In his illustrious Hollywood career, Tom Cruise has brought to life, many memorable characters like Maverick and Jerry Maguire. However, if there is one character that left us gobsmacked to another universe, it was the hot-headed studio executive Les Grossman from Tropic Thunder (2008). The Ben Stiller directorial was a weird yet wonderful roller-coaster ride that starred Ben himself along with Robert Downey Jr. and Jack Black, in the lead the roles. When fans flocked the theatre screens to watch the movie, never in their wildest dreams did they imagine that Les Grossman was played by Tom freaking Cruise!

Tom recently surprised the Hall H crowd at San Diego Comic-Con 2019 to unveil the brand new trailer of Top Gun: Maverick. The actor also appeared on Conan O'Brien's Conan-Con to talk about the highly-awaited 2020 release. During their conversation, Conan asked Cruise about his Les Grossman avatar. After rewatching the end-credits sequence where Grossman breaks out his hip-hop moves to Ludacris' Get Back, Tom was seen recreating the dance moves in Conan-Con, much to the applause by the crowd present.

Meanwhile, recalling his meeting with Stiller for Tropic Thunder, Tom revealed that he actually went for hip-hop classes and stated that he would play Les Grossman only if he had "fat hands" and could dance on-screen. While Ben was hesitant at first, after seeing a demo of what to expect, he was sold. The rest, as they say, is history!
