The bromance between Tom Cruise and James Corden remains strong… and skybound.
The Top Gun: Maverick star persuaded The Late Late Show host to get back into another plane with him – four years after he encouraged him to jump out of one.
Cruise picked up the Brit, who revealed he was leaving the late-night world in April, for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the desert, piloting him in a vintage fighter plane for the afternoon.
“I’m very excited that James is doing this,” he says in the 15-minute segment. “Was he the first late-night show I asked? Hell, no. He was just the first one… the only one who said yes.”
Cruise and Corden end up in a dogfight in the classic plane.
Just when Corden thinks he’s survived, Cruise informs him the two will be going up again — this time in a jet fit for modern aerial warfare.
First, however, is the Top Gun training. “You are my goose,” says Cruise. “When you say I am your Goose, it makes me feel excited and then I realize that Goose dies at the end of the film,” replies Corden.
Corden, who is better known for driving with celebrities in cars around LA rather than planes in the desert, and Cruise do get to bust out a few bars of Kenny Loggins’ classic Top Gun tune Danger Zone during their overnight campfire stay.
“This is crazy,” says Corden, not underplaying the situation, which makes for a perfect Late Late Show viral segment.
“You can be my wingman, anytime,” concludes Cruise as they disembark. “You know what? I think I’m good,” laughs Corden.

James Corden shared a new version of “Top Gun 3” on “The Late Late Show” this week.
There’s a rumor about how CBS might be handling who replaces James Corden after he exits The Late Late Show, and it may surprise you to hear what they’re considering!
Brian Steinberg Senior TV EditorWhen James Corden cuts ties with CBS’ “Late Late Show” next year, he may leave with more than people expected.CBS is considering replacing Corden’s distinct program with a multi-host panel, according to three people familiar with the matter, a sign of how late-night is changing as viewers sample the best of the programs via social media rather than watching them in their wee-hours’ time slot. Corden has decided to leave “The Late Late Show” in the spring of 2023. A panel format could encompass a wide range of concepts, such as the news-roundtable program “Politically Incorrect,” which Bill Maher led on ABC late-nights between 1997 and 2002, or even the frenetic game-show stylings of “@midnight,” which aired in late night on Comedy Central between 2013 and 2017.
On the heels of his latest Tom Cruise stunt, The Late Late Show‘s James Corden has reunited with another frequent guest, Harry Styles, who trusted the comedian with making a music video for his song “Daylight.” In his directorial debut, Corden shot the video in Brooklyn for $300 in three hours. The duo knocked on a couple of doors until four young women opened their apartment for Corden, Styles and their crew.

Tom Cruise put his pilot's license to good use as he took "The Late Late Show" host James Corden on a few "terrifying" flights in the sky ahead of the "Top Gun: Maverick" release on Friday, May 27. "I'm very excited that James is doing this," Cruise admitted in a special segment where he prepped to fly Corden in both a vintage fighter plane and a modern war jet.
Tom Cruise has terrified James Corden by re-enacting an aerial stunt scene from his film Top Gun: Maverick with the late night TV star. Cruise persuaded The Late Late Show host to go on the daring adventure while promoting the movie, a sequel to fighter-pilot action movie, Top Gun, which comes out in cinemas Friday. The stunt was even more hair-raising than the previous time the pair were filmed jumping out of an aeroplane for Corden’s talk show four years ago.
