Is the Church of Scientology about to lose its poster boy?
Tom Cruise’s often ridiculed relationship with the church could be coming to an end, according to American tabloid magazine Star.
Apparently, the Hollywood superstar is ready to give up on his pledge to stop ridding the world of thetans (immoral spirits), created by ancient alien dictator Xenu in order to spend more time with his daughter Suri.
Scientology has gathered a good deal of infamy since Cruise helped it hit the headlines ten years ago.
The cult has a reputation of being hard to leave, and a source close to Cruise claims that Hollywood’s top gun will have to get a fine team of lawyers to help him extricate himself from the church.
Of course it’s possible that this story has been leaked in order to drum up some press around Cruise ahead of Mission Impossible 5’s July release, but it’s not like Cruise has done anything strange for press before.
Other famous Scientologists include Beck, John Travolta, Elizabeth Moss, Giovanni Ribisi and Bart Simpson.
