John Travolta Defends Tom Cruise

Travolta defended Cruise who is his friend and a fellow Scientologist. There were videos released from 2004 showing the star of Mission Impossible speaking on behalf of his church. Cruise was arguing that scientology could resolve many problems worldwide.

According to Travolta, the tabloids have gone too far in this matter. He told an Australian paper, "[Tom] has – we all have – the right to practice how we feel."

Travolta added, "It finally becomes unfair."  

Travolta was in Australia to honour Kylie Minogue with an award for her commitment to humanitarian causes. Travolta’s co-star from the musical Grease, Olivia Newton-John, performed at this event.
