Ted Cruz had big dreams when he was teenager, according to a video of the Republican presidential candidate recorded when he was about 18.

Cruz, who appears to be standing in front of the fountain at his church in Houston, Texas, in 1988 when he is asked about his "aspirations."

"Aspirations? Is that like sweat on my butt?" Cruz said.

"What I want to do in life? Well, my aspiration is to, uh, oh, I don't know, be in a teen t-t film like that guy who played Horatio. You know he was in 'Malibu Bikini Beach Shop.' Well, other than that, uh, take over the world, world domination. You know, rule everything, rich, powerful, that sort of stuff."
