Tom Cruise makes royal request for "Top Gun 2"

With fans anxiously awaiting details following news of "Top Gun 2," Tom Cruise stirs the pot with a royal offer. According to the UK's Daily Star, Tom Cruise has extended the offer to Prince Harry to join the cast of "Top Gun 2."

This seems like a reasonable request, right?

In an exclusive interview with an American agent, The Daily Star reports that Cruise "knows it's a long shot" to convince the dashing Brit prince, but there's no hurt in trying.

This isn't just a PR stunt, folks. The agent says "he doesn't just want Harry as a gimmick casting, but someone who offers real experience and knowledge of flying in combat."

With a thirty year gap in between the films, fans of the original are excited, nervous, and a bit nostalgic — to say the least.

For all of you reminiscing on Cruise's glory days, this is for you:
