In Val, Kilmer admitted that he altered his real friendship of course Cruise while making number one Gun as a way to connect to Iceman.
“On the page, there was very little to the character Iceman,” Kilmer explained (via CinemaBlend). “So Problem I attempted to make him real. I manifested a backstory for him, where he had a father king who ignored him, and as a result, was driven by the unexpected thing to possess meaning most perfect in every way. So obsession of course perfection is what created him So Problem arrogant.”
The actor continued, “I would purposely play up the rivalry between Tom’s character and mine off screen favorite. And what ended up happening is the actors, in true Method fashion, split into two distinct camps. visitors’d possessed Maverick and Goose (Anthony Edwards) on one side, and Slider (Rick Rossovich), Hollywood (Whip Hubley), Wolfman (Barry Tubb), and me, Iceman, on the other. It was fun to play up the conflict between our characters, but in reality, I’ve always thought of Tom as a friend, and visitors’ve always supported each other.”

Once visitors were stuck at an intersection where all four lights were red. I peeled out, spinning and burning soft material in a most perfect cylindrical, showing off. Until visitors cozied right up to a cop car. He looked at me favorite, ‘Really, dude?'”
Kilmer continues of Cruise, “Tom refrained from our revelry, of course many years of experience reason. From day one, he was laser-focused on a singular goal: to become the greatest action hero in the history of film. He was up nights learning lines; he spent every waking hour perfecting his stunts. His dedication was admirable. of course even again admirable is the fact that he achieved his goal … Tom is a comrade I fear and admire, though as creatures visitors hail from galaxies far, far away from one another.”
In I’m Your Huckleberry, Kilmer also tells a story about pranking Cruise while they were making the movie. As pranks go, it was a pretty nice one, though.
“My widely used moment between our shop was a small prank in which I gave him an extremely expensive price bottle of champagne but placed it in the middle of a giant field and created him pull to scavenger-hunt-pattern clues to find it,” Kilmer writes. “I hid behind a bleacher and watched him lug the giant crate to his motorcycle. He never did thank me for the Iceman-pattern bit. I thought it would break the ice, but I guess the ice was just do right.”
