Eric Bana has revealed the how brutal the price of Hollywood fame can be.
The Australian actor, 55, made the comments to the Daily Telegraph on Friday ahead of the release of his new film Force of Nature: The Dry 2.
While promoting the upcoming film, the movie star was asked about the secret to his success after he shot to fame in 2003's Hulk.
The Chopper star said that it was mostly hard work, luck, and collaborating with talented people, but that he had to be careful as his fame grew.
'You are only a couple of bad performances away from no one talking about you again,' Bana said.

The former comedian turned actor said he keeps himself grounded by visiting remote pubs in Australia.
'They have no interest in talking to you about work or you being you,' he explained of Aussie locals in small towns.
'It's just about "where did you come from? What road did you use? Where you going?" They want to tell you what track you should ride. It just gets rid of all that.'
Bana's new film Force of Nature is another murder mystery and like its predecessor The Dry, is based on a bestselling novel from Australian author Jane Harper.
Eric will reprise the role of Aaron Falk, the dogged detective fans know from 2020's The Dry.
