Tom Cruise is remembering how dancing in briefs helped launch a decades-long movie career.

Of his iconic scene in 1983’s Risky Buisness — in which he danced in only a shirt, briefs, and socks — Cruise, 60, joked on the red carpet “Look, I grew up dancing in my underwear in my house. Who didn’t?”

Cruise, who is currently promoting his new film, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, revealed that Risky Business is what helped start him down the path to becoming an action star.

Risky Business writer and director Paul Brickman said he worked with the actor on its famous opening shot of Cruise sliding into the center of the frame after Cruise choreographed the dance sequence.
