Tom was a fresh-faced 24-year-old when he appeared in one of his most famous films: Top Gun. The actor won the lead role of Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell in the action flick, which became the highest-grossing domestic film of the year with $357million. The star looked worlds away from his current self during this period, which also saw him appear in films like The Color Of Money (1986) and All The Right Moves (1983). Tom spoke about his rise to fame during this time, saying it was strange being suddenly recognised in the street.
