Laurence Fishburne made a surprising admission about which of his many films impacted his career the most.
He admits starring in 1979’s Apocalypse Now transformed his career.
The 57-year-old actor appeared alongside the likes of Martin Sheen, Marlon Brando, and Robert Duvall in the Francis Ford Coppola-directed war film, and he’s confessed that the film proved to be a turning point in his career.
The Hollywood star told Collider: “That movie was really the beginning of me thinking of myself as an artist.
“It was the beginning of my understanding of cinema, it was the beginning of my understanding of the world because I was suddenly taken out of Brooklyn and I was in the Philippines in the middle of Asia.
“I was in a place where most of the people looked like me, so it opened up a whole world of possibilities. My work with Francis on Apocalypse Now and all the films I did afterward with him really shaped me and formed me as an artist.”
He also admitted Clint Eastwood has been another influential figure in his career.
