Did you know Tom Cruise and Jennifer Connelly, currently starring in ‘Top Gun: Maverick’, inspired one of Disney’s most famous animated couples? We’ll let you know which one!
Jennifer Connelly definitely where you don’t necessarily expect her! While she was in the first Top Gun thirty-six years before appearing in the credits of Maverick, the American actress was also a bit in the cast of a Disney animated classic from the 90s!
Jennifer Connelly indeed inspired the animators of the cult feature film Aladdin, released in theaters in 1993, for the character of Princess Jasmine.

At the time of Aladdin, Jennifer Connelly was a young rising star of the seventh art, seen in particular in the credits of the feature films A Place to Take and The Adventures of Rocketeer.

The most amazing? For this same Aladdin, Disney studios were also inspired by Tom Cruise for the title role! Which makes you realize that Cruise and Connelly have already given each other a little cue almost two decades before Top Gun: Maverick.
DR
It should be noted that to create the character of Aladdin, the animators also had in mind a certain Michael J. Fox. Who, he has never played in Top Gun.
