Celebrities are either rushing to become Scientologists or to leave Scientology lately. You’d think that everyone would be accepted into the controversial religion, but one actor says that Tom Cruise, a noted Scientologist, didn’t want him to convert.
While making an appearance on Conan last night, Russell Brand told Conan that while on the set for Rock of Ages, he kept dropping hints to Cruise that he was looking for a new religion – through his usual and witty antics.
Brand told Conan, “That man had no interest in getting me in Scientology at all.” When Conan asked if he felt hurt that he wasn’t recruited, Russell replied “If there’s a cult that don’t want me, I wanna know why.”
