With the black specs on and easygoing poise, anyone could mistakenly believe that picture was of their Hollywood’s heart-throb straight out from the movie Top Gun.
“It’s funny. One never imagines that you’ll get this kind of attention when you’re training day-in-day-out,” the pilot told AFP. No wonders our pilot was taken aback from this not so expected treatment during one of his routine practices.
The news is all over social media and the huge fan followers of Tom Cruise can’t wait to see more glimpses of their dreamboat’s lookalike.
