Lewis Hamilton turned down role in Top Gun sequel

Lewis Hamilton's busy Formula One schedule meant he had to turn down a role in the upcoming Top Gun: Maverick movie, but the five-time world champion says he still harbours Hollywood ambitions.

Hamilton is no stranger to the movie industry and in recent years played cameo roles in the Cars franchise as well as Zoolander 2. The role in the Top Gun sequel promised to be bigger than his previous appearances, but he was forced to turn it down due to a lack of free time in his hectic schedule.
