Milo Ventimiglia's dream of being a fighter pilot was ruined when he discovered flying made him nauseous.The 'Heroes' star - who plays power-absorbing character Peter Petrelli in the hit US TV show - was desperate to fly the high speed vehicles, but soon found out his weak stomach would prevent him from ever being a pilot.He said: "I had a couple of options of what to do in my life. One, I wanted to be an actor. Two, I wanted to be a doctor. And third, I wanted to be a fighter pilot. "During the strike, when Hollywood was shut down, I went up in a fighter plane. And I also spent some time with the Air Force Reserves. It was amazing. It was one of the coolest things I'd ever done."But I got sick. It's hard not to. There's actually a photograph of me before I got into the plane - my hair is polished, I'm looking good and I'm standing up tall. And then there's one of me after I finished the flight and I look a little crooked!"Milo - who is rumoured to be dating his 'Heroes' co-star Hayden Panettiere - also revealed despite the second season of the show being poorly received in the US, he thinks the storyline will get back on track in the third season.He said: "We're going into filming our third season starting on May 1. And we are back with new episodes in September!"
