Tom Cruise reportedly compares his job to being a soldier in Afghanistan or an Olympic athlete during the deposition that was taken as part of his $50 million libel suit against Life & Style.

According to documents obtained by TMZ, the actor at one point discusses location shoots in the Middle East, saying that they’re similar to serving a military tour in Afghanistan.

“That’s what it feels like. And certainly on this last movie, it was brutal. It was brutal,” he’s quoted as saying.

In terms of his physical preparation, Cruise reportedly states, “There is difficult physical stamina and preparation. Sometimes I’ve spent months, a year, and sometimes two years preparing for a single film.”

“A sprinter for the Olympics, they only have to run two races a day. When I’m shooting, I could potentially have to run 30, 40 races a day, day after day,” he explains.

As Gossip Cop already noted, Cruise admitted elsewhere in the deposition that Scientology played a role in Katie Holmesdecision to divorce him.
