Despite his friendship with Tom Cruise, who is one of the most famous Scientologists, Smith claims he does not adhere to this ideology. There were rumours started by an article published in the magazine Radar, which Smith has denied.
The 39-year-old actor told the New York Daily News, "You don’t have to be Jewish to be a friend of Steven Spielberg. You don’t have to be a Muslim to be a friend of Muhammad Ali. And you don’t have to be a Scientologist to be a friend of Tom Cruise."
The star of I Am Legend insists that he is Christian, and the most important thing for him is respecting everyone’s beliefs.
