Tom Cruise has admitted that he regrets making a judgment regarding his job early in his career.
The Hollywood actor received considerable notoriety for his performance as Joel Goodsen, an adolescent dropout, in the 1983 film Risky Business.
Early productions included the military film Taps (1981) and the indie comedy Losin' It (1982).
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly at the British Film Institute, he discussed his early experience in low-quality production films.
"I did a film, it was called Tijuana at first, and it was with Curtis Hanson, who went on to direct L.A. Confidential," the Mission Impossible star revealed.
"Coming out of Taps, which was, we spent six weeks with rehearsals, and there was an environment that [producer] Stanley Jaffe and [director] Harold Becker had created that really defined the rest of my career," he told me.
The 62-year-old actor expressed regret about the production quality, telling the newspaper, "The quality wasn't there; what they told me it was going to be and what it ended up being were two different things."
"It was an incredible learning experience because it was the first time I realized some people didn't know how to make movies, and some people didn't have the same level of passion or quality commitment," Tom Cruise said before to retiring.
