Tom Cruise is SHADED by hunky actor Manny Jacinto after all of his lines were cut from Top: Gun Maverick - but says he wasn't shocked: 'Tom Cruise is writing stories for Tom Cruise'

Manny Jacinto seemingly threw shade Tom Cruise's way after revealing all of his lines were cut from 2022's Top Gun: Maverick. The hunky actor, 36, was cast as LT Billy 'Fritz' Avalone in the blockbuster Top Gun sequel that also starred Glen Powell and Miles Teller. While the film helped Powell and Tiller achieve A-list status, it did little to boost Jacinto's profile as he was reduced to a background actor in post-production.
