Let’s talk about Tom Cruise, shall we? The legendary actor is not just lighting up the screen with his incredible performances; he's also setting the bar incredibly high for his fellow Top Gun: Maverick costars. A source close to the star exclusively told Closer Weekly that the 56-year-old powerhouse has inspired the entire cast to step up their fitness game, following in his own rigorous workout routine.

Now, here’s the deal: Tom isn’t just any guy who hits the gym occasionally. This guy is a workout fanatic. He wakes up before the sun even thinks about rising and spends two to three hours in the gym every single day. And guess what? His dedication doesn’t stop there. Tom has personally motivated his handpicked cast, including the likes of Glen Powell, Miles Teller, and even Jennifer Connelly, to adopt marathon and triathlon-style routines, even on their off days. Imagine running up to 12 miles, lifting weights like it’s nobody’s business, and knocking out 200 push-ups without breaking a sweat. That’s the level of intensity we’re talking about here.

Glen Powell Steps Up His Game

Glen Powell, who has recently been seen in rom-coms and dramas like Set It Up and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, is taking his training seriously for this action-packed flick. The 30-year-old actor knows that stepping into a role in Top Gun: Maverick means more than just acting; it’s about embodying the character, and that starts with fitness. Glen has been pushing himself harder than ever before, driven by the desire to prove himself in this big-budget production.

According to the source, Glen is incredibly hard on himself. He hasn’t had an overnight success story, and he’s been working tirelessly in smaller roles for years. Now, he’s ready to show the world that he’s ready to play with the big boys. And who better to model his work ethic after than Tom Cruise? In many ways, Tom is the ultimate role model for Glen, setting an example of dedication, perseverance, and passion for the craft.
