The Top Gun star then elaborated on his reasons for remaining dedicated to acting.
“There’s been so many levels of reward with the filmmakers that I’ve collaborated with, the crews, the people, the cultures that we’ve worked in.
Everything that I’ve learned and continue to learn about storytelling, about life, about leadership, about character and every aspect of filmmaking,” he said.
“It’s been exceptional, it really is exceptional. I feel very fortunate to be able to make the films that I make and I love it. I love just making movies,” he added.
