Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise is the most recognized devotee. His fidelity -or fanaticism- of him is so marked that he does not see Suri, the daughter he had with the actress Katie Holmes because the girl is Catholic. When in 2012 she separated from the protagonist of Mission Impossible, Holmes enrolled the girl in a religious school, withdrawing her from Scientology after commenting that they were "washing her head". That caused the organization to prevent Cruise from seeing his daughter, who has already turned 15 because they believe that her mother was possessed by an evil spirit.
John Travolta
Another celebrity who follows this belief is John Travolta. Although he has been committed to Scientology for several years, in recent months his devotion has begun to falter. Different painful circumstances that he went through on a personal level made him reconsider continuing in the creed because he did not find the answers he was looking for there. According to what is said, Travolta has already begun the farewell to him after half a century of iron convictions.
Kelly Preston
In 2019, Travolta's eldest son died at the age of 16: he suffered from seizures repeatedly. He never received medical treatment. In 2020 the actor's wife, Kelly Preston, died of breast cancer without having agreed to fight the disease through traditional medicine.
Preston was also part of Scientology, and she was not allowed to receive clinical treatments because they go against this current: her faithful belief that everything that happens is for something, in which no intervention should be made. Already in his agony, Travolta turned to the best doctors, a decision that Tom Cruise himself criticized him for.
Will Smith
In recent years Will Smith has joined this belief. In the case of the protagonist of Men in Black, it is said that he entered through his partner, Jada Pinkett Smith, and his son Jaden. But nowadays, Will would be very involved. The information was leaked from a former member, who after leaving the group became one of the denouncers of the practices that the faithful of Scientology must carry out. Asked about it, Smith prefers not to mention the matter.
Demi Moore
Demi Moore joined when she was dating Tom Cruise. She lived through one of her darkest stages, but she was able to get out on time. At the time she commented that there were certain guidelines to follow that she did not like. Hers did not last long, since after distancing herself from the actor, she opened up about Scientology, although it was not easy for her: it is said that she managed to get ahead due to her world fame, but it is not so easy for those who do not have an image public.
Brad Pitt
Brad Pitt also integrates this very particular list of Scientology. According to what he reported, in the 90s he was about to die from a treatment that the organization ordered him to do to detoxify himself from drugs. Far from going to a rehabilitation center -what has been said: medical assistance is prohibited-, they performed a "purification" on him that placed him in a serious state, according to what the actress Juliette Lewis, his girlfriend at the time, commented at the time. Juliette tried to push him away, to reason with her, but she couldn't. Time, later they separated.
