People are blown away by Miles Teller’s character, Rooster, in Top Gun: Maverick. He is the son of Goose, who was played by Anthony Edwards in the first Top Gun movie. But are they really related to each other? Let’s find out.
Teller’s Rooster steals the show as a pilot in the mission training group in the new movie. His relationship with Maverick, played by Tom Cruise, is rocky. Goose, his father, could only be seen in photographs.
Both of them have done well in Hollywood. Anthony, who is 59, is a seasoned actor who has been in many movies. Miles, too, has worked in movies for more than a decade.
Is there a real-life connection between Miles Teller and Anthony Edwards?
Miles Teller and Anthony Edwards are not related, even though they played a father-son pair in the two Top Gun movies. The rumors about how close the two actors are to each other are not true.
Miles Teller is actually the child of Merry Flowers and Mike Teller. He was born in Downingtown, PA, which is a suburb of Philadelphia. His mother works in real estate, and his father works as an engineer at a nuclear power plant.
On the other hand, Anthony Edwards was born in California, in the city of Santa Barbara. He has four kids: a son named Wallis and three girls named Esme, Bailey, and Poppy.
Miles said in an interview that he hasn’t met Anthony Edwards yet but hopes to one day. So we know for sure that the father and son on screen are not related in real life.
How Maverick and his father got along in “Top Gun”
In the first Top Gun movie, which came out in 1986, Anthony Edwards played Maverick’s best friend, LTJG Nick “Goose” Bradshaw. In the movie, he is Maverick’s Radar Intercept Officer and his best friend.
Miles Teller plays Lt. Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw in the sequel Top Gun: Maverick. This character is the son of Goose, who was played by Edward. He is an F/A-18E pilot in the mission training group, and his father Goose was seen in a photo.
So, the father and son characters in the two movies don’t actually meet each other. In the first version of Top Gun, Goose’s son is a young boy. But in the new movie, Goose is dead and Rooster is an adult.
