Costar Hamm was also at theTop Gunpremiere, and opened up toKelly Ripaand Ryan Seacrest about the rules the cast was given ahead of their meeting with the royals.
“It’s a little anxiety-producing because they give you these rules that you’re meant to sort of follow. You’re meant to say, ‘Your Royal Highness’ — if they offer their name, then you can use their name, but you can’t do it first,“Hamm recalled. “And you can’t offer your hand, they have to offer their hand. Then you have to bow, but you can’t bow too low.”
