His father is well-known for his roles in films like Independence Day, While You Were Sleeping, and Spaceballs. Though Pullman grew up living in both Los Angeles and Montana, his family largely kept him away from the entertainment industry.Gregg DeGuire//Getty ImagesPullman has opened up about how his father tried to keep his work as an actor away from their family’s life at home, and how he didn’t watch much TV growing up. Instead, his family focused on music and the arts, with Pullman eventually discovering acting in high school. “My dad kept his career very separate so that we could have a somewhat normal upbringing,” Pullman said in a January 2024 interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “There was always an element of mystery behind his career. We were a very creative family, everyone is in the arts to some degree, but we weren’t allowed to watch TV.”In a September 2023 interview with Vanity Fair, Pullman joked, “None of us can do our taxes worth shit, but we can put on a nice, decent performance.”Gregg DeGuire//Getty ImagesHe’s an accomplished actor.Pullman has steadily built a strong career in the entertainment industry. He gained widespread recognition for his role as Robert Floyd in Top Gun: Maverick (2022), alongside Tom Cruise.

I didn’t come home feeling like I was dragging any sort of demons with me. It was a very warm and loving experience for me that I was excited to keep going,” he said of his role as Calvin in an August 2024 interview with The Wrap.Pullman has also starred in the Western sci-fi series Outer Range and joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the superhero Sentry in Thunderbolts.He appeared in the 2024 thriller Skincare, too. In an August 2024 video interview with MovieWeb, he described his character, Jordan, as “a Russian doll of all sorts of different reveals.”“I just was really drawn to this idea of a person who is sort of a drifter. There’s a lot you can’t tell whether it’s true or not. And there are parts where he’s very successful at his game that he’s running. And then there are parts that he’s not so successful. But I think it was interesting to try and identify,” he added.In 2023, Pullman spoke with People about his early decision to become an actor and how his father’s advice helped him through it—although he wanted to “do it his own way” at first. “Once I decided that's what I wanted to do, my dad was never like, ‘You’ve got to do it,’ or ‘You shouldn’t do this,’” Pullman said. “He was just like ‘Give it a shot. Whatever kaleidoscope you want to look at life through, if it feels good, do it.’”“He knows what gets me excited, what makes me nervous, what scares me,” Pullman added. “And then he also has so much experience in the business and with the craft. So all of his advice is catered towards me. I don’t know where I’d be at without it.”He’s a musician.Outside of acting, Pullman is a drummer for the band Atta Boy. The indie group has been together for over a decade, releasing multiple albums. In 2020, the band members regrouped for the first time in eight years. “We were curious to get back together and see what our sound was because it had been eight years since we were in the same room together,” Pullman said in an interview with AudioFemme. “My personal goal was to refine what our sound was and reintegrate and just kind of challenge ourselves to push each other into new realms.”He won an award at the 2019 Newport Beach Film Festival.Pullman won an award for Outstanding Achievement in Filmmaking, Ensemble Cast, for his role in Them That Follow alongside his co-stars Kaitlyn Dever, Olivia Colman, Walton Goggins, Thomas Mann, and Jim Gaffigan.He made his first appearance at the Oscars in 2023.Pullman attended his first Academy Awards in 2023 following the success of Top Gun: Maverick, as it became 2022’s “biggest-grossing film.”“I’m a little excited, but also terrified,” he admitted to GQ UK ahead of the event. He stepped out in a custom Thom Browne tuxedo, finished with grosgrain edge detailing and a Kentucky bow tie, a nod to his Montana roots. “I want my clothes to reflect where I come from. I don’t want to feel like I’m just a mannequin,” he added.Mike Coppola//Getty ImagesHe was a presenter at the 2023 Costume Designer Guild Awards.Pullman presented the award for Excellence in Contemporary Television at the 2023 Costume Designer Guild Awards alongside his Top Gun: Maverick co-stars, Greg Tarzan Davis and Monica Barbaro.

It’s like Smartless, but less smart. And less funny.”Pullman and Gerber enjoyed a very public date night in June 2025.On June 10, the couple was seen sharing a kiss while attending Tyler Childers’ concert at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.

And they’re like, ‘No, I like that person before.’”View full post on YouTubeBut Gerber noted that she’s “being healed” by her relationship with Pullman, who’s eight years older than her. She said it helped that they started with a friendship before exploring a romance. “I really feel like if you have the opportunity to date a friend, do it because, it just is so much better,” she added. “I would never want to fight with my friends. I never want to be mad at my friends. I respect my friends. It just is a whole other thing.”Pullman joined Gerber on a holiday trip in December 2025.On December 29, Pullman was seen with Gerber on the beach at her family’s annual holiday trip.
