Will Smith Admits to Studying Scientology With Tom Cruise

From TomKat to Travolta, it seems like everyone in Hollywood's a Scientologist.  Celebrity Mound reveals the latest possible converts: 

 

 Are Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith the latest celebs to join the Church of Scientology?

 

Smith, a friend of famous Scientologist Tom Cruise, tells Men’s Vogue, “I’ve studied Buddhism and Hinduism, and I’ve studied Scientology through Tom [Cruise].”

 

A source tells Us Weekly that wife Jada, 36, is also intrigued by the religion, saying, “She’s more gung-ho about Scientology than Will.”

 

Smith, 39, who was raised Baptist, says in Vogue, “Ninety-eight percent of the principles [in Scientology] are identical to the principles of the Bible. . . . I don’t think that because the word someone uses for spirit is ‘thetan’ that the definition becomes any different.”

 

Smith’s grandmother may disagree. Smith once said, “My grandmother would get up out of her casket [if I became a Scientologist].”

 

You tell Us: Do you think Scientology is similar to Christianity?

  • Well if he isn't he may be one soon and it probably has very little to do directly with Tom Cruise....I know his wife Jada has been dabbling in Scientology for a while now. Your wife potentially being a Scientologist probably ways more heavy than a...
  • I am saddened to hear that Will and Jada are falling into a false religion. There is only one true living God and He is Jehovah, who sent his sinless, blameless Son Jesus down as a living sacrifice so that we might all be saved. But salvation is a...
