The 'Puss in Boots' actor said as a kid when he watched the 1953 Disney film he was amazed by it, reported People magazine.
"The first time I saw the Disney version, I was, I don't know, 6 years old. I remember it produced an incredible impression in me. I dreamt about that character. I remember getting in bed and seeing myself flying over London," he said.
The 54-year-old star admitted he took the philosophy of always striving for more than a normal life from the film, which has stayed with him ever since.
