If no one saw it, how could the images ruin him?
The box office of his movies since then should lay to rest the idea that his career is ruined.
Hmm well a bomb doesn't help, either. Eyes was a disaster, Last Samurai didn't do very well, and War of the Worlds was a disappointment. He did better with Mission Impossible and that futuristic Spielberg movie (forget the name he had his eyes removed in it) but I think they both sucked. Certainly think he has not had a great role other than the three I mentioned.
