Tom and Miles are currently basking in the triumph of Top Gun: Maverick, which became just the second film to gross over $1 billion since the pandemic began.
The film is also the highest grossing of Tom’s career and the first of his films to break the $1 billion mark at the worldwide box office.
Miles, who spoke to the publication at Thursday’s American Century Championship in South Lake Tahoe, said his team is using the hugely successful film in negotiations.
“That’s definitely what my team said for those future negotiations,” he said of the film, which grossed $1 billion at the box office.

“For him to share Top Gun with me and a lot of these other young actors. To get us into this world was just such a wild ride, and it’s still taking it,” he said.
Tom appears amidst a slew of newer sex symbols like Glen Powell, but the film also briefly reunites him with Val Kilmer, who played his rival in the original.
One of the subplots involves his character rekindling his romance with an old flame, played by Jennifer Connelly, who was 15 in real life when the first film came out.

One project Miles won’t be back for, however, is another season of The Offer.
The miniseries follows the making of the 1972 classic film The Godfather.
‘I do not know. From today’s perspective I would say no. I mean, once they did The Godfather, that was it,” he said.
