In 1983, the public discovered in Risky Business a young actor who would become one of the most influential men in Hollywood: Tom Cruise.

In the thread, he does what all the teenagers of the time dream of doing: sneaking daddy's Porsche 928.

Those with good memories will remember that in the film, the car ends up at the bottom of a lake.

This was obviously not the case in reality, since this 1979 Porsche 928 put on sale in Houston next September by Barrett-Jackson, the American auto auction giant, is indeed the one who played a leading role in the film.

Driving school

So it is also the car that Tom Cruise, aka Joel, drove, but it gets better.

At the time of filming, young Tom did not yet know how to drive a car ... with a manual gearbox.

So he learned to do it behind the wheel of a Porsche 928, which is still classier than learning to drive a Clio.

The car description does not say if the clutch has since been changed.
