Barry Tubb appeared in the 1986 blockbuster 'Top Gun,' but he didn't act in the 2022 sequel, 'Top Gun: Maverick.' Now, Tubb is suing Paramount Pictures, the production company behind both films, for using a behind-the-scenes image of him from the first film in the later release. According to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital, Tubb is seeking unspecified damages for the unauthorized use of his likeness.
The court documents claim that a third party doesn't own the copyright to the photo used in the film, but that Tubb does own his own image. Still, Paramount used it 'for purely selfserving commercial purposes and their own business interests.' The documents also call the company 'an unapologetic, chronic, and habitual infringer.
Paramount Pictures didn't immediately return Fox News Digital's request for comment. Tubb's lawyers shared that the actor isn't interested in making a public statement, but, 'He believes the lawsuit and the exhibits speak for him. He's disappointed that it had to come to this, but trusts that the legal process will produce a just result.'
