"I mean, look, the amount that I've learned from Tom on 'Top Gun: Maverick,' it's the greatest film school I've ever had," Powell gushed over the 62-year-old actor.
"I learned from [super producer] Jerry Bruckheimer, Joseph Kosinski, Chris McQuarrie, Tom Cruise. That education, I've taken it onto every project since I shot that movie."
