OK, so I fell in love many years ago watching Top Gun, I then subsequently worked my way throught the armed forces, ahem, until I finally settled on and married a pilot.

My crush waned, my marriage has lasted, however watching Tom last night on Top Gear I still think I have a crush.....

Anyone with me or should I go and sit on the naughty step....?

Mary, mary, mary.

I am very disappointed in you - just go and sit on the naughty step and have a good think about your behaviour

Did love him in TopGun though.

I did fancy him in Top Gun (young and naive). Since then, he has become more and more of a twat imho but I did think he came across really well on Top Gear.

Do I need to go on the naughty step for wanting to be Cameron Diaz ?

I think I might have a girl crush on Cameron though - god she is sooo perfect

traceybath · 26/07/2010 17:50

Actually - do you know I just watched it and he is quite cute

frasersmummy · 26/07/2010 17:52

he came accross as a lovely guy on top gear didnt he..??

flyingdoll · 26/07/2010 18:04

He seems like a lovely bloke, Cameron is stunning and lovely. Isnt Tom a bit...gay? Worst kept secret in hollywood apparently.

If you're heterosexual and lusting after Tom Cruise, either get the minor film "Sleep With Me" out on DVD, or save the effort (it's not really very good) and admire Quentin Tarantino's cameo as a film buff giving his views on Top Gun just from the quote. You can imagine Quentin's delivery: Woody Allen on Speed.

Given there's lots of swearing, here's a link to it rather than pasting it inline.

OMG Tokyonambu I feel weak. I never saw it that way..ever..e.v.e.r.

Me too. They both looked incredible.

clpsmum · 26/07/2010 18:38

Well move up im joining you on the naughty steop except i think my crime is worse. . . i never actually fancied Tom until saw him on Top Gear! I always fancied Iceman rather than Maverick but since seeing Top Gun i must confess to more than a little crush and to watching Jerry Maguire and Top Gun today!

Maryqueenofchocs · 26/07/2010 18:44

clpsmum you have issues. Iceman was hideous. Too much square jaw and beady eyes...

You need to sit at the front on the naughty step, as being the most disturbed.

YABU. He's a buck-toothed midget and a nut job as well.

He's got the look of a dwarf pony, maybe 10 hands high, eating an apple through a wire fence.

frasersmummy · 26/07/2010 19:29

right the naughty step is not big enough now .. i think we need a contemplation room

YunoYurbubson · 26/07/2010 19:31

Do you love him so much you want to jump up and down on a sofa shouting about it?

Sidge · 26/07/2010 19:36

I think he's gorgeous. Mad as a bag of badgers, but so pretty.

The sort you'd want to shag but then kick out pretty sharpish so you don't have to talk to him.

A bit like David Beckham.

Maryqueenofchocs · 26/07/2010 19:53

Lol at expat & yuno

sidge could I kick him out after he'd bought me uber gorgeous bag and diamonds?

Cruise? 'Ad 'im. Beckham? Done 'im twice. Acid flashback anyone??

StayingDavidTennantsGirl · 26/07/2010 20:41

D'you remember the scene in Top Gun where he's just in those tight white underpants.

TechLovingDad · 26/07/2010 20:42

I thought Tom came across really well.

Cameron Diaz, well, how hot is she? The perfect partner! (After DW of course)

Lauriefairycake · 26/07/2010 20:54

I too think he came across really well.

Clearly I've accidentally read too much shit in trashy mags and he's not as mad as a box of frogs after all.

I'm sure I'd read somewhere it was a faked marriage to katie Holmes and he was gay as a maypole.

I thought he was very sexy last night.

Maryqueenofchocs · 26/07/2010 21:06

I just keep thinking of the house smooch scene with the swooshing voile curtains....ummmmmmmmmmmmm

My fave film as a teenager was Top Gun and maybe I went on a subconcious mission but my now DH looks like tiny tom (only 6 foot tall). So much so that we had people taking photos in HK when we visited. I've no idea who they thought I was as sadly, I'm no Katie Holmes.
For his birthday in August I have bought him a Top Gun "Maverick" T shirt.

moragbellingham · 26/07/2010 21:56

Bodhi (Point Break) was also a contender
