They have JUST 8-year age gaps, the problem is: that Jennifer Connelly is superhuman, she still looks hot at 51! But most actresses look terrible in their 50s.
Are there any 50s actresses left for Tom Cruise to do love scenes?
Nicole Kidman
shareWhat's age appropriate?
shareShe is the same age as the character she is playing, Penny Benjamin.
shareSo, what's age appropriate?
Early to mid 50s.
sharewhy?
shareBecause Top Gun was released in 1986. This movie was released in 2022. The movie itself was filmed in 2019, and a 2019 calendar was shown in the film, so we'll be using that year.
1986 to 2019 is 33 years. Maverick was banging a General's daughter, Penny Benjamin, prior to the events in 1986. Ruling out Mav committing statutory rape, we'll assume she was at least 18. 33+18=51. Jennifer Connelly, who played Penny in this film, was 48 during filming. That would put Penny at a more realistic 21 in the first Top Gun.
Isn't math cool?
Actress/character age discrepancy of 5.9 % is inappropriate?
Man having sex with woman who is how much younger is inappropriate?
What are you talking about? I drew you a picture a child could understand. Nowhere did I mention "inappropriate." I stated factual information as to "why" the filmmakers chose to hire a 50 year old actress.
shareI mentioned age appropriate in this post: https://moviechat.org/tt1745960/Top-Gun-Maverick/635588580d43a0210854e97f/Any-age-appropriate-actressesbesides-Jennifer-Connelly-left-for-Tom-Cruise-to-do-a-love-scene?reply=66094044cca11065663fcc4b and this one: https://moviechat.org/tt1745960/Top-Gun-Maverick/635588580d43a0210854e97f/Any-age-appropriate-actressesbesides-Jennifer-Connelly-left-for-Tom-Cruise-to-do-a-love-scene?reply=660ae345a2b9e3144cbdfe39
So what is an age appropriate/age inappropriate actress for TC to do a love scene?
Are you 12? Maybe English is not your 1st language? Honestly, I'm lost. Why would anyone put a link to the same thread they're commenting on? You do know how to insert quotes, yes? Even though there's no need to quote when we have the ability to scroll up and read, lol. If you're looking for an answer, just to justify your existence, then I'll give you my opinion. As long as both parties are of legal age and are happy together, there is no such thing as appropriate or inappropriate.
shareThank you!
shareYou have to be trolling at this point.
"Age appropriate" in the context of this thread, means an actress that is within the same age range as the character she's playing, which has been well documented and explained here.
If you want to know what is the appropriate age for a random relationship with Maverick, then start your own thread. This one is for how appropriate the actress is to the character, not what is appropriate for a 50+ year old man.
Any age-appropriate actresses(besides Jennifer Connelly) left for Tom Cruise to do a love scene?Is one particular female character, not any female character Tom Cruise can do a love scene with?

Yes. Penny Benjamin.
shareWhy?
shareWhy? Because, fuck you, that's why.
shareWhy is this limited to only one character?
Any age-appropriate actresses(besides Jennifer Connelly) left for Tom Cruise to do a love scene?And not any female character that Tom Cruise can do a love scene with? share

Because that's the character written in the script and this thread is about which actresses are age appropriate to play that character as it is written, in the movie that was presented on screen.
If you want to have a discussion on what alternative characters could have been written into the script instead of Penny Benjamin and subsequently what would be the appropriate age of that character, then start your own thread with that discussion.
so whats the point of this thread?
Is sonans the OP saying that Jennifer Connolly is the only woman Tom cruise's age who is hot enough to qualify doing a love scene with him ?

shareWell Julia Roberts is 56 but I don't think she does much acting nowadays.
shareDiane Lane. She’s almost 60 but doesn’t look it. Or, if foreign actresses are permitted for consideration, South Korean Lee Young-ae. She’s 50 but often looks a decade younger. Perhaps a plot involving North Korea?
But, I’m pretty sure that Connnelly will return as Cruise’s love interest unless she demands too much money.
Eva Mendes.
