I've never watched Top Gun..

..says Val Kilmer's daughter

- GRAEME CULLIFORD

THE daughter of Top Gun star Val Kilmer has never seen the film that made her dad famous.

Mercedes, 30, says the 1980s classic is “not my cup of tea”. But it has allowed Val, 62, to return to the big screen this week in sequel Top Gun: Maverick following his cancer battle.

Actress Mercedes says that instead of bragging about starring alongside Tom Cruise, her dad – who plays Tom “Iceman” Kazansky – would joke about the 1986 original’s tight-fitting Navy gear and muscle-bound scenes.

Mercedes says: “I’ve never seen Top Gun. It’s not the kind of film I like, to be honest. It’s not my cup of tea.”
