I knew there was something I liked about Will Smith…aside from his winning smile and rocking bod. I am thrilled to report there is at least one Hollywood hotshot who isn’t interested in jumping into the deep end of the Scientology crazy pool. Hollywood.com reports that we have Will’s grandmama to thank for this last stand against Hubbard and his aliens. Will Smith has turned his back on pal Tom Cruise’s efforts to convert him to Scientology because he doesn’t want to upset his late grandmother. Smith admits he has spoken with Cruise about the church the Mission: Impossible actor is a fervent campaigner for, but he could never follow writer and thinker L. Ron Hubbard’s belief system. He says, “I’ve talked to Tom about it–(there’s) lots of incredible, wonderful concepts (but, my wife) Jada (Pinkett Smith) and I don’t necessarily believe in organized religion. “I was raised in a Baptist household and my grandmother would get up out of her casket (if I became a Scientologist).” I don’t know that Grandma would appreciate the slam on organized religion in general, but I’m pretty sure she’d give Tom a good hard thump with her Bible if the toothy-media magnet tried to clear Grandma Smith’s thetans. |
