As with a meal that left a bad taste in their mouth, picture someone discussing their experience with a subject they didn't enjoy in school. The actor in question is Brenton Thwaites, an Australian who has starred in movies like "Maleficent" and television shows like "The Get Down."

Thwaites talked about his impression of drama class in school, saying that he thought it was a boring subject that mostly covered theater history rather than the artistic elements of acting that many students might find interesting. His remark brings to light a common frustration among young students who occasionally find it difficult to connect with or find interesting subjects.

Thwaites' observation is equivalent to declaring that you don't enjoy baking since you never mix ingredients or taste your creations—all you ever do is read about the history of cake-making. Many students who might favor experiential, hands-on learning over theoretical studies will find resonance in this viewpoint.

Thwaites became a successful actor in spite of his early resistance to drama. His journey serves as an example that a person's future path is not always determined by their early experiences or dislikes. Thwaites' story illustrates how passions can change over time, much like how someone who didn't enjoy baking might eventually find happiness and success in the pastry arts.

In addition to addressing the more general theme of personal development and the unpredictability of one's career path, Thwaites provides a relatable insight into the difficulties of establishing interest in subjects during formative years through this anecdote.
