I'm an 80s boy and I still cannot comprehend how beautiful this woman is.
same
it’s the Irish blood.
@@emeidocathail7808 why irish?
She was my teenage crush
The term achingly beautiful is probably what your searching for.
Still classy and gorgeous at 51. Love the chemistry between Tom Cruise and her. This film really needs to be experienced in the theatres, particularly IMAX. Long live the cinemas!
She is drop dead gorgeous😍
Honestly, she looks about 38...
Shes older than me and she looks 35. Very GOOD 35, too.
She's just like the P51 Mustang ageless and beautiful from the first time you see them, beauty like that nevers ages, just more desirable.
"Still classy and gorgeous at 51"
Because you can't be classy unless you're under 51?
Her character added a lot of value to the movie (which was great) and added another emotional dimension. She was an old friend and a good listener as much as she was his ex/girlfriend. She has a commanding presence. The Iceman scene was also really powerful. Wow!
Absolutely agree. She has this charming, yet calming presence of a mature woman, its just lovely to watch her on-screen. Loved the scene with Ice and Mav as well the end part- "lets not ruin the moment with this question" LoL ! I never thought Top Gun would have such nostalgic value here in India. I was in a packed IMAX theatre with people cheering Tom Cruise's entry with jacket, bike et al and all the wisecracks and throwbacks etc. I have watched Top Gun probably dozens of times since my teenage days, and I don't mind watching TG-Maverick again in some time ! I am sure most of that cheering crowd thinks likewise.
Actually they got back together and that Tom Cruise took her up in a plane for. some private time.
The plot of this movie is I'm Tom Cruise and I'm awesome. Everything I do is amazing. And just when you thought he couldn't be any more narcissistic, of course he has to be more than the teacher. He has to be the hero. Every scene is extremely predictable. The character development is minimal...virtually nonexistent for most. The soundtrack was good. Some of the humor was ok. The charisma was there. Nothing against the actors at all. The problem was the movie itself.

@@user-wu4bo1hz3p Ya, I thought it was OK. Just all right, not as good as I thought it would be. I did like watching Jennifer Connelly.
She's always been a classic beauty, from Career Opportunities to Top Gun 2. Love her!
I think she probably looked her best in Dark City. Seeing her in that tight black dress, bright red lipstick singing in a noir 1930s style gentlemen's club made her so friggin stunning! Not to knock on her now but she still looks absolutely gorgeous. I was so excited to see her again in Alita, and man was she looking good in her black sleeping lingerie in that movie... XD
just ooozes class. A divine and special lady
"Classic beauty" lol. She shad massive plastic bobs in career opportunities. Not my definition of classic to say the least. I think she reduced the size later in her career and looked better.
@@ShaferHart I’d love to see what you look like.
Jennifer is truly a talented actress and Beautiful woman!
I've been crushing on this girl since high school
I saw a late night showing in London. It really is a love letter to classic film and cinema. The music and soft melody leading to the Danger Zone song at the beginning will bring a tear to your eye. The movie has everything. A fantastic pace, great story telling and heals the pain from the first. Tom Cruise has defeated any concept that cinema is dead. This movie needs to be experienced in the theater. Jennifer looks incredible as well!
I agreed saw it last night
I agree. I expected it to be entertaining but it was actually a very good movie. I will buy it when it comes out on DVD.
I feel terrible, but I didn’t like this movie. I thought it was cheesy and heartless.
@@jimparsons4312 Don’t feel terrible. You’re a very small minority who didn’t like it. My theater was full and everyone cheered. The movie is doing great and has broken the memorial holiday weekend record previously set by Disneys Pirates of the Caribbean
@@jimparsons4312 I hope peace finds you like a cold breeze does on a winter night.
This lady is timeless to become beyond gorgeous.
I really liked her hair in the movie it softened her features. She was also very likable and I like that she has not filled her face with fillers and is as Kelly would say, age-appropriate
Agree 100%
Agree can highly recommend this film
I saw the movie last night, and I thought that too. In a close scene you can clearly see wrinkle around her eyes and it was actually nice. She's beautiful and doesn't need any kind of botox to look better.
Yes, she looks much better in this than in Snowpiercer, for example
Exactly, they're nornal looking by the way I'm so happy it was no unnecessary, steamy sex scene ( I'm not prude, just tired of sex scenes) it was a very good action and feel good movie. Thank you
Jennifer Connelly looks stunning in Top Gun: Maverick. She has great chemistry with Tom Cruise too. ❤️
I did not know whose character she was playing (I avoided the internet or reading anything about this), and when watching the movie, I had a big grin after it was revealed WHO she was.....as Stryker yelled...."And 1 Admiral's daughter!" What nice link to the original. She looks GREAT at 51 and Tom is 60! He's another "Benjamin Button".
@@gjaram they shot the movie in 2018 so she was 47 then
@@nikitamohanan2124 - She still looks good now but thanks for pointing it out.
@@gjaram I never said she doesn't look good whether it's now or ever before so I don't understand what you are trying to insinuate here??? I was just stating they shot this movie or most of it 4 years ago back in 2018 which is a fact, so she was not in her 50s when she shot this particular movie but 47 just like Tom Cruise was not 60 while he was shooting this film. That's all. I know she looks far better than most actresses her age or less than half her age like many of those Disney or Nickelodeon star actresses. She looked great in Top Gun Maverick and I like that they did not airbrush or CGI her wrinkles or lines on her face in the movie which makes her look realistically and naturally beautiful as opposed to Hollywood's plastic surgery enchanced beauty standards. Not shaming those who chose to do it but it was nice to see an older couple like her and Tom romance on screen and look their age for the most part.
@@nikitamohanan2124 Wasn't implying you were saying anything. I'm just saying she looked then, and looks good now 4yrs later. Perhaps you're misinterpreting what I wrote.
Jennifer Connelly was so "In-Control", "Smart" and "HOT" in this movie. The audience loved how she played on Maverick. And the knowledge that Penny Benjamin finally got her man, is Marvelous.
Sweet and wonderful woman . No nonsense or egoistic celeb behaviour . 😊
Old school 😄
Probably one of the smartest thing they did in Maverick was to give life to a character that was only mentioned in the first film. I know it's a small detail and anyone could've written it but somehow, I remember being fascinated by it. It also helped that I watched the first Top Gun movie hours before going to the cinema (I've only seen the original Top Gun when I was a kid and had fragments of memories of it prior to re-watching). And really, I always had a crush on Jennifer Connelly so having her in the movie is a treat because I never get to see much of her films. "Satisfying" is a word that best describes Top Gun: Maverick for me.
she is sooooo classy
She’s the Best!!!! Talent, Looks, Smart, Personality and Nice.. Producers of Top Gun: Maverick hit a Grand Slam with JC!!!!
'Looks' have faded; looking excessively bony.
Amazing actress, even more amazing woman!
Seeing J.C. after not seeing her for a while was very exhilarating; She is just absolutely gorgeous/stunning. Still. Gets better with age. XXX Forever, Jennifer Connelly!
Jennifer is such a beautiful lady and a terrific actress. Glad that she's Co-starring in what is sure to be another Tom Cruise blockbuster! 😀
She is very beautiful and classy. I have always love her.
Simmm a melhor 😍arrasou no filme 🤩
total class act - really adore her
She’s so lovely, she deserves all the best!!!
She dosent even know you even exist!!!
It's nice she was so impressed about Prince William and Catherine Duchess of Cambridge. They are just so relatable and amazing humble
In my 40's, she's still one of the most beautiful actress
Finally saw this yesterday, 3 weeks after a release, on a Sunday afternoon to a SOLD OUT theater. This movie, from the very instant it began till the very last scene, captivated me. The thing that humanized him the most was this relationship. It made it obvious that inside that bravado and tenacity is a man who is still vulnerable. She definitely made this movie even more compelling than I had anticipated. The entire thing was just phenomenal. It was the kind of movie, you can NOT miss on the big screen. Incredible film.
Agree 100%! 👍
Totally agree amazing movie
So articulate. She has a way with words and what a knockout
So cool that her character was mentioned in the original.
Top Gun Maverick is the first time I've seen Jennifer Connelly look like shes having fun on screen in an awfully long time.
She usually plays sad and depressed people. It was good to see her smile for a change instead of pretty-cry as she usually does.
She has always been beautiful since she came to Hollywood , from her teenage years to now… still beautiful! Wow!
Stunning woman and a tremendous actress. It was a treat to watch .
She is truly gorgeous, natural and stunning.
Had a huge crush on Jennifer in the 80’s and she’s still beautiful.
I love Jennifer Connelly - especially because of her earlier work.. she’s always been amazing! What a real true woman.. I don’t think there’s any other actress who has aged throughout the years with so much integrity and dignity.. a true professional and a beautiful person!
She has always been so beautiful and feminine. Still looks great.
true history
fr! i love her role in Labyrinth especially
Julia Louis-Dreyfus
This movie brought people back into the theaters after our hibernation with COVID. Seeing the movie was exciting but also having interaction with a crowd of people eating my popcorn, Goobers and large soda.
I watched Top Gun: Maverick today and it was a masterpiece. And Jennifer Connelly was amazing ❤️
I first laid eyes on Jennifer Connelly in the 1990 movie "The Hot Spot" starring her and Don Johnson. That movie wasn't much, but I remember staring at the young 20 year old Connelly and thinking, "That woman is unbelievably hot". She was not only amazingly beautiful, she had a kind of natural innocence and purity that could not be faked or duplicated. I've seen most of her movies since then, and she has done nothing but become a wonderful actress while aging naturally and gracefully. Today she's 51 yrs old, and I would consider her still more beautiful than 99% of the Hollywood actresses today who are in their 20's to 40's.
Pretty much.
yeah she's probably top 5 hottest actresses of all time
SIMP
@@austincarlson9270 you got that right
I agree
I like her a lot she did a great job in Top Gun Maverick. I saw it last night. Best seen in IMAX. Kudos to Tom Cruise and producers and actors and crew they really made movie magic. She plays a romantic love interest and that's rare for a woman to have that role at that age bracket. Their relationship felt genuine and many have had the experience of a previous love interest coming back around years later.
I agree, despite Jennifer being in her early 50s she’s still nearly 10 years younger than Cruise. So it’s very honest, believable and appealing even if it’s only to middle age patrons old enough to remember the first Top Gun movie.
Jennifer Connelly always a class act and tremendous actress.
Jennifer Connelly is such a beautiful lady inside and out. It is always refreshing to see her on film. The camera still loves her.
On of the best movie of the century ! Waited 36 years and it gonna gross over billions world wide . Love ❤️ you Tom .
Yes ! I predict. Correctly and it just passed Billion.
I didn't realize she's 51 years old, I'm 38 and have always had a crush on her lol
Same on both fronts, 38 and always had huge crush, an ideal woman.
@@bmwmpower5829 Love her dark hair.
Don’t care for the eyebrows.
I love her eyebrows. 😢
I cried when he was having flashbacks of Goose when he got kicked out of the bar. Great movie!
I feel you
I was working on Naval Base Coronado when this movie was shot several years ago. They built a bar right on the beach on our base just for this movie! It was awesome! Cant wait to see it!
Jennifer Connelly! 😍😍😍😍
So wait, she’s playing the Admiral’s daughter?!?! Awesome!!!!!
She is one of my all time favorites!
Jennifer Connelly to this day is still hot stuff.
Jennifer Connelly does kinda look like a younger Demi Moore at times 😇😍
Jennifer Connelly is wonderful and thoroughly deserves being in this movie. Always manages to be an understated yet effective presence on the screen.
One of the most beautiful and talented actresses 💙👌🏽
OMG she still looks SO GOOD !!!
My 19 year old daughter who didn't know the franchise loved it. We watched the 1986 movie half an hour before arriving at the theater. Have seen it twice. My wife who can't stand to leave the house to go to the movies went for the figure of Tom Cruise and loved it too. Top Gun: Maverick" proved that cinema doesn't have to be aimed at a single audience, it doesn't belong to a single "tribe". Teens, adults and seniors can enjoy the same experience, without needing a manual. It's been a while since I've seen so many people of different ages at the theater watching the same movie, I believe since the 90s maybe. Top Gun Maverick: the movie that saved the experience of going to the movie theater.
Saw it past weekend in an Imax theater in SA. With my husband 💕. What a great feel-good movie . No strong swear words, lots of action, tension, all-in-one .....best.
Well, there was that one strong swear word when they were dogfighting that enemy plane that made a crazy maneuver... 🤪
When Tom and Jennifer characters first see each-other in the movie it was in the bar and the background music was a David Bowie song!!
She just continues to get more beautiful as the years pass by
Love the nod to David Bowie in her debut scene, reminds me of a younger girl who played Sarah across from the Goblin King many years back. She is still my inner 8 year olds wildest crush. Still gorgeous. Labyrinth is my go to comfort movie still to this day.
I have never forgotten the last scene she was in the movie Requiem for a dream. Everytime i see her in a movie, this scene pops back in my head!
Great movie, good to see the chemistry between actors and the story line was solid! My wife and I would see it again!
Jennifer Connelly is one of my favourite female actresses!! Authentic, beautiful and classy 🤍
Saw the movie. We need more movies like this.
Saw it 4 times. What a great movie. Very patriotic.
Peggy Benjamin is one of the most adorable, independent and unforgettable character that Ms. Connelly has impersonated!
Jennifer is absolutely stunning and she and Tom had great chemistry.
Michael Strahan, the interviewer, did an amazing job here! He let structured the interview around her role and her own experiences (vs. making it all about Tom) and he gave her time to speak. Jennifer is incredibly eloquent, as usual :)
Whodathought that an NFL player would be so good?
True but everything you said is very simply done. It's just that all the interviewers in the world right now are really bad at their job
@@gbjames64 Says something about team sport experiences!💫
I've always been a Jennifer Connelly fan, but in this movie she looked amazing. Can't wait to see her in more movies. This should give a career a boost.
As a teen back in 80’s Jennifer Connelly was like a dream girl high school boy like me would dream about, she’s still looking fantastic and beautiful as ever. The movie TG 2 matches Tom and Jennifer was a right choice. I’m glad these two talented actors from my generation still kicking it strong 👍
It’s movies like this that make me miss working at Blockbuster in my high school years. It was my favorite, and likely will remain, my favorite job. I miss those days. What a great film!
i love their chemistry
Connelly is just SO right for this movie, and I didnt think her role felt squeezed in as some say. It felt natural, cool, fun and good :)
For sure the theater that I was in , everyone were cheering , laughing , shouting , clapping and holding they’re breath .
All the emotions that we have in us came out in the movie
TopGun … and at the end we all stood until the screen finished running to the end !!
I would love to watch that movie just to see her, Jennifer Connely. She is not only a great actress and extremely beautiful woman but the daughter of an Admiral of the US Navy.
Excellent interview, Jennifer is warm, gracious, friendly and a fantastic storyteller. Great chemistry with Tom. Always love her.
The onscreen chemistry between Tom Cruise and Jennifer Connelly was🔥 - it's whatever didn't exist between him and Kelly McGillis in the original film.
Agreed. I'm so glad they went with JC for this one. I don't care about looks or body shape but she really fit perfectly and the chemistry between them was so much better
Zero chemistry with Kelly. Glad they rectified that with Jennifer.
@@Googaify '[You] don't care about looks or body shape' ? Yeah, right. LOL I can just imagine the look on your face and _can't_ even begin to imagine what you'd be thinking had they paired Cruise with some triple chinned, 500 LB blob with monstrously, gargantuan mammaries hanging to the floor, 3 or 4 tires around 'her' waist, and a protruding uterus grotesquely stuck between the legs.
Lies.
I have always loved her in her films and I am happy to see her in a higher profile movie this time 😀
Its interesting how she does play the abused or drug addict or sexual tensions in movies. Almost like a be careful for what you wish for but looks amazing type of deal aswell. So my favorite actress when it comes to just the reality of certain situations. I think she plays it very well, i also think she did good in Alita Battle Angel too.
She is such an attractive person. Loved her amazing screen presence in Top Gun 2😊😊
I love that she was cast as the love interest. It's rare to see an age appropriate actress cast as the love interest for an older actor.
On the other hand, she's not the average 50 years old lady.
Not that age-appropriate if their characters hooked up in the 80s - she was 15 when the first one came out, lol.
Yes, refreshing! Kudos to Tom for casting someone age appropriate.
Tom’s had a lot of plastic surgery and treatments done himself
@@benoitnadeau5845 Tom not average 59 year old either.
Such a beautiful classy lady and a wonderful actress. ❤️
It’s been a very smart move to include beautiful and talented Jennifer Connelly as Penny Benjamin, Maverick’s love interest. It gives continuity to the original story given that Kelly McGillis character Charlie wouldn’t be on the movie for obvious reasons. Maybe she could have made a cameo though.
She is in the movie…
Everyone who has the time and money should see Top Gun Maverick as soon as possible, I generally like artier movies (my favorite movie in the last 10 years is Uncut Gems) but you cannot shake off the sense that this may be one of the greatest mainstream movies EVER
So pretty, so classy and still very dreamy. Loved seeing her in Top Gun Maverick one of the best movies I've seen.
So talented, graceful, poised, intelligent, and beautiful. I will never not be in love with Jennifer.
It has been a long time since a movie made me feel so many feelings at the same time. Pure entertainment movie.
Jen is such a legend herself and very talented also beautifully gorgeous ❤
I wanna watch it so badly especially after seeing this interview. She’s so down to earth and beautiful 💯☺️
I fell in love with her after watching blood diamond... !!!
it IS such a fun moviee!! i was clapping and cheering in the theatre for sure. never experienced anything like it. "satisfying" indeed as she said!!
She is still so pretty, I like her in her old films also like Phenomena, and Labyrinth, Dark Water was good, she's been in so many great films its amazing how many she's done, Dark City, and the Rocketeer the list goes on, and on.
Jennifer Connelly is ... timeless.
But, for the record. 1997 to 1998 was her in world dominating beauty mode...
She's the reason I went to see this movie tbh lol. Been a fan since Labyrinth.
And one of my favorite movies ever is Blood Diamond.
easily one of the most beautiful women in history. She was gorgeous as a teenager and she's still gorgeous in her 50's.
Jennifer Connelly is the pinnacle of human beauty! ♥
This woman never age
I loved seeing her as Penny. Fantastically played character. Love that she and Tom have a strong castmate chemistry.
Love the movie! I saw the first one when it premiered and It was a closure to the first one. Brought back many memories. 👍🏼
Forever remembering Career Opportunities…..
A bit thinner now but She’s still got those gorgeous eyes. Drop dead gorgeous in her younger days. Still very beautiful.
Good job Strahan!
The perfect choice. An 80's and beyond icon, and muse of my generation.
Saw Top Gun Maverick today. Awesome! Loved it!!
Proper Woman! a rarity in Hollywood ......as is the film, no woeness, no THE message, just old fashioned entertainment....no doubt it will smash all box office records 👏
Agree 100%! 👍
2022 and this woman is breathtakingly beautiful, she and Sigourney Weaver are real role models of women they age with dignity and beauty.
she is so beautiful
I fell in love with Jennifer when I was 9 in 1987 after watching the movie Labyrinth, and I still find her an unbelievably attractive and beautiful woman in her fifties.
Great interview, Michael. You're truly genuine in everything you do. #GoodPeeps! :-)
Jennifer is just such a wonderful lovely person . I got to meet her during the making of blood diamond in Maputo Mozambique as I did a bit of work on the movie. A real lady and a gem !
Wow so nice to know that...
I don't know anything about Jennifer Connelly but now I do! She did a fantastic job, my favorite movie ever!
