The Top Gun star was spotted with his hood up as temperatures plunged below freezing on Sunday morning.
And he was forced to do some exercises to keep warm between takes.
The movie heart-throb was seen jogging on the spot and lunging as he tried to stay alert while filming the reboot of the Arnold Schwarzenegger 80s classic.

But the reboot is tipped to be more faithful to King's vision.
