Tom Cruise Talks Working with Lady Gaga on ‘Top Gun’ Music

After making an epic helicopter entrance at the San Diego world premiere of “Top Gun: Maverick,” Tom Cruise spoke to “Extra’s” Rachel Lindsay about the long-awaited sequel, as well as working with Lady Gaga on the movie’s song “Hold My Hand.”

How did his collaboration with Gaga come about? He answered, “I called her… We shot most of the film and we had Lorne Balfe to produce the score, we had Hans Zimmer… There was a door that we were trying to open musically… We were searching for a long period of time… She composed the score… She sent the song over… The moment we heard it was just, here’s this artist, we are in England, and she is all the way over in America. It was almost as if she was talking to us… It was perfect.”
