Jon is genuinely a fan of the movie just as much as the rest of us. We saw the movie yesterday and it was touching (yes, I cried) and thrilling (we applauded at the end). 👏👏

[@redomega24]

Amen

[@shawnchief28]

Jon is a great actor and is a great fan of Top Gun as we all are!

[@whiskeyjack9]

Saw the movie yesterday and I couldn’t agree with Jon more. Absolute classic. Tom Cruise deserves the highest of accolades for this movie

[@shaikhjasem8846]

Watched it 3 times. Man. What a movie! After 20 years I never had such a great movie experience.

[@eakbar8able]

Jon Hamm is a excellent actor and a wonderful personality. Love him. Great interview! Saw Top Gun back in '86. Looking forward to seeing Top Gun-Maverick 👍🏽

[@Slaphappy1975]

Nostalgia only played a small part in the movie's success. It's a blockbuster because it has never-before-seen aerial action, a big emotional core and Tom Cruise in top form. It's freaking great!

[@paulsoldner9500]

Nostalgia got half the audience and Tom Cruise's fanbase got the other half - for the opening weekend. All the millions who came in the following weeks came because the films is *so fucking good*!!

[@Narrate918]

You can never have too much Hamm

[@carpetsnake83]

He was great in the movie he’s character and performance grounds the movie and stops it from becoming unrealistic

[@djsmith2871]

His performance and contribution to the film will be underrated, much like the role of Viper was in the first. It sets the tone and the bounds within which shenanigans ensue.

[@mikefriend1514]

Jon Hamm was so utterly brilliant in MAD Men and deserves many more roles than he gets.

[@dondraper3871]

3:15: in Greek, nostalgia literally means the pain from an old wound. It's a twinge in your heart far more powerful than memory alone. This [movie] isn't a [sequel]... it is a time machine. It goes backwards and forwards. It takes us to a place where we ache to go again. It is not called [Top Gun Maverick]. It is called [Top Gun] the Carousel

[@dondraper2344]

Bravo

[@adamthomas8205]

Well done

[@bien.mp4]

love it

[@kinnymane8593]

Need to re-watch mad men again after reading that. I still remember that episode

[@MauriceMoore1983]

Time to re-watch Mad Men for the eighth time.

[@arnoldsherrill2585]

I was in my early thirties- when I first saw Top Gun., and it is the only movie I have ever seen in my movie watching experience 3 times. Here it is 36 years later, and when I hear those opening bars of the Top Gun theme I still get chills. From all the reviews I have seen so far as well as the trailers all I can say is for people who have never experienced Top Gun get ready for a ride, you will never forget. To this day danger zone and Mighty Wings from the original soundtrack still running a shiver down my spine and make my heart beat like I just came back from a run, and all I was doing was sitting still

[@billsmith8961]

Love Jon Hamm. Was great in the movie. The movie is going to be an all time classic. It’s that good. Pure Entertainment. It regards to sequels or parts or whatever you want to call it. It’s up there with Godfather 1 and 2. Meaning some will say 2 is better than 1. .

[@danielmunoz456]

Coming from an amateur cinephile who watches as many A24 movies in theaters as possible, this movie blew me away. So awesome, touching, heart pounding. A must see in theaters.

[@Number3boyz]

Great movie and Jon played his role perfect. Couldn’t cast a better actor for it.

[@artisaprimus6306]

Jon Hamm did a great job in the movie" Beirut". His acting in this movie is good enough where you resent his character for plotting against Maverick. Good stuff.

[@kevinlucas8437]

Jon is fantastic if you haven't seen him in Mad Men he is amazing. This movie looks incredible can't wait tosee it !!!!

[@juliansydney9819]

First American interviewer that shuts up and lets the guest speak👏👏👏

[@soundpro707]

Top Gun Maverick is how you treat a beloved character while bringing in a new flare. Disney and Bad Robot need to take some notes.

[@danielg623]

Baby Driver, Mad Men,Top Gun..... this man needs to be in more movies!

[@F4RR3L2]

Don't forget The Town.

[@allans7281]

John was excellent- you could just feel his disdain for Maverick. The movie rocks! Everything you see is real and it’s hard core

[@TYodaT]

The Queen's callsign would definitely be Monarch

[@nocalsteve]

I saw the original Top Gun thirteen times in the theater.

[@sulaymanmajeed-sloanel397]

That’s legendary.

[@nocalsteve]

@@rv2167 Attack of the Clones? I couldn’t make it through the second time, years after the first time.

[@jameswilliams-zr8co]

top gun opening score over the credits ! harold flatermeyer is a genius !

[@williamj.dovejr.8613]

I want a one shot movie with Jon Hamm as George Reeves Superman.

[@sachaallari592]

YES! I had the same thought! Hell even a short film!

[@gabrielvazquez1691]

How can you not be a fanboy for TOP GUN

[@Villalobos63]

Watched Top Gun with my pops for the first time as a kid and I’ve been hooked ever since I watch the movie a few times a year tbh. And when the trail dropped I was like take all my money!

[@lakeozarkrei3767]

Love Jon Hamm - seems like he'd be a blast to drink a beer with👍

[@waltrauda.5320]

Wäre dabei 😉😘

[@nancypilcher5948]

Teary eyed when the shot with iceman and maverick. Luv it n want to c it again

[@jonathanhamm6940]

This is a feedback that really warm my heart I'm very grateful, thank you so much for supporting and prayers for my career please where are you watching from

[@bodhixxx1]

Jon was so tight in this film damn I loved his delivery one line he says ( no spoilers) "In what"?

[@VanquishedAgain]

"He's supersonic" .... "in what?" 😅

[@laurenleclaire3104]

Great interview. Love John Hamm. WE are from STL and I know he is rooting for the BLUES tonight in Game 6

Nice of Jon to sign a cartoon I sent him. Glad he's getting good parts again.

[@dwmy3825]

I respect this guy Great actor and shows an enormous respect towards Tom

[@hillsview455]

Great movie, my whole family and kids we all watched it together and they loved it. I want to watch it again.😊

[@andrewf2]

Hamm was great as the FBI agent in The Town.

[@lukasfoster8505]

I’ve seen this movie three times already. I’m very tempted to go see it again. That’s if it’s still in theaters.

[@QuantumOfSolace1]

Amazing follow up to the original - genius! This is how a movie needs to be made!

[@DBravo29er]

TGM is just chef's kiss. It's SO GOOD.

[@Awesomekiid13]

I saw it for the second time sunday night, it was awesome!

[@ER0CK5_]

Crazy that Karate Kid with the Cobra Kai series and now Top Gun: Maverick as the sequel to Top Gun, both went decades in between continuing the story. Both have such a great mix of nostalgia for the fans of the original and excitement and storylines in their own right for the new generation of fans.

[@photodude24]

Jon Hamm was amazing as Cyclone. Ed Harris was amazing as Cain. Amazing casting.

[@Yonner666]

Watched it in 4dx last week and was completely blown away.

[@chrisbalsamo968]

Looking forward to seeing the movie soon. It’s been way past due.

[@zvonkothebronco1070]

Saw it yesterday and i will be seeing it again!

[@LindaEll89]

Awesome, me too, have fun. 👍😉👍🇳🇱

[@ZdenekLU]

I'm glad they waited until the cinema was opened. I watched in 4DX, that was my first time with this tech, and it was AWESOME. I was clapping, cheering, wowing which in my country almost never happens in cinemas. That was The Movie Experience. Last time I had so much fun were to final Avengers movies and LOTR.

[@andrewhungocar5736]

America’s big stick (sweet teddy Roosevelt shout out)

[@matthewmc4363]

Can’t wait!!!!

[@jdean2131]

Jon Hamm is way cooler than the 3star Admiral he had to play….but he did an outstanding job!

[@davidhoward7691]

Great film. Hit every single note and more from the original

[@ryiin]

Great interview

[@balkee42]

Jonathan Hamm. Freakin legend

[@VictorDiGiovanni]

Looking forward to this. Cobra Kai is the benchmark for mining nostalgia and coming up with an eruption of diamonds.

[@judsonkr]

Truth.

[@Jamthecoolerator]

This has got to be weird--finally doing press for a movie they made almost four years ago.

[@anthonyboitnott7140]

There was a theater in eureka I used to go to

[@parklloyd6690]

3:15. Nostalgia. The pain from an old wound. IYKYK. (Teddy would be proud.)

[@melroze]

They should do a reboot of Mannix with Jon as Mannix.

[@gusm2752]

Mannix. Wow we’re going back a few years. Good one.

You were awesome Jon Hamm!

I did in 4DX at Dania Beach. it was awesome

Cyclone! I enjoyed and understood his character’s disapproval of Maverick but his nod at the end said it all! Saw twice GREAT MOVIE!

A great authoritative figure in any movie

Has John Hamm and Clive Owen ever been in the same room together? I think they are the same person... 😂

[@jerrylewis788]

So is Robin Williams and Melinda Gates.

[@Vampyre82]

What? I love them both but they are nothing alike.

[@delrey874]

He's great actor 👏👏

[@stephenmccollum1391]

Must see in theater 🎥 This may have saved movies in cinemas

[@Rosary716]

Such a great guy.

[@FamousTVvoice]

What make/model watch is he wearing?

[@kennethbailey6634]

I agree with what he says,if go no other reason the film industry. You get to do what you like and get paid big.If you are in front or in back of the camera.Just imagine getting $300,000- millions for one movie. And the contacts and who you know gets you just one or two more. As long you don't do nothing stupid and buy property anywhere in the USA. You are in your way to a pretty good life.

[@49ers_1m8]

They got to cast him in the next Batman movie as Harvey Two-Face

[@belair344]

Yes know you here san diego l never got go see it filming

[@annabethcullen6887]

the screen 40 screen x that he mentioned is how I watched it

[@buster_roo]

2:40 a peek behind the curtain. That's not a prosthetic. Legit Jon Hamm dad bod action.

[@anthonyboitnott7140]

I saw that lol.

[@anthonyboitnott7140]

Sir John Hamm

[@bitterbold]

TG2 was the best theater experıence I've had in the last decade. It's not a movie. It's an event.

Did anyone else immediately think of the carousel pitch from Mad Men when he said the word "nostalgia"? Just me? Ok.

My condolences to Jon about the Blues. I know what disappointment feels like (I'm a Leafs fan), even though the blues have had far more success than I'm used to. The Blues are such a wagon!

how is it possible for a person to be as charming as the hammster??! looks like a dude's dude and just the right amount of bro energy to be funny without being obnoxious.

Jon Hamm was underrated, I Hated Jon Hamm character in the movie and i think that is why it is good about it, he deliver the Character that've been set like that quite well

Awesome Guest Chair! I see what you did there... ;)

Hamm seems like such a nice guy and with that said you must admit the guy is great at playing not such a nice guy. Would love to see him high five the Queen.

Jon Hamm was great in Mad Men, but what made me like him is the episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm where he becomes Larry. Gold. Gold, Jerry. Gold.

So true :D

What does that mean?

[@kelex12]

@@surf101- From Wikipedia: "Soup to nuts" is an American English idiom that conveys the meaning of "from beginning to end", derived from the description of a full course dinner.
