Italian voice double of Tom Cruise flies a fighter jet prior to recording Top Gun: Maverick.
MiGFlug is a Switzerland-based aviation and space adventure company specializing in fighter jet flights for anyone. More than breaking through the sound barrier, MiGFlug allows its customers to break through the dream barrier, in 14 different locations worldwide.
For the occasion of Top Gun’s long-awaited sequel Maverick, MiGFlug cast a very special actor: Roberto Chevalier, best known for providing the Italian voice of Tom Cruise in most of his movies. Roberto didn’t only lend his voice to Maverick 30 years ago, his voice covers his comeback to the screens in Italy as well.
Unlike the actor, a voice double usually doesn’t take part in the action on a set… and in Roberto’s case - on a jet. But how can his voice take the role of a fighter pilot without ever having experienced the real thing?
Because MiGFlug's raison d’être is to realize people’s dream to fly a jet, Roberto Chevalier got offered a front-row seat on one of its jets. Look at it as Method Acting where an actor inhabits the role of his character to encourage sincere performances...
Boarding an L-39 Albatros Jet, Roberto took off for a dazzling 45-minute flight in the sensational scenery of the Swiss Alps. Together with his pilot, he was in for loops, rolls, spins, and a flyby above and around the Matterhorn.
Roberto’s maiden flight was documented and resulted in a short film documentary. The film is carried by his voice and it talks of a dream to finally catch up with the skies. Ironically this time it was his voice that stayed grounded as the whole experience made the actor speechless while he was at it.
