Celebrities Who Got Involved with Scientology

#1: Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise is Scientology’s most visible figure, having joined in the late 1980s after being introduced by actress Mimi Rogers. Already a rising Hollywood star, he quickly became not just a member but a global face for the church, blending his personal faith with his larger-than-life screen presence.

Cruise’s connection has remained steadfast for decades. He has credited Scientology with helping him overcome personal challenges and has fiercely defended it in public. His outspoken loyalty, including controversial comments about psychiatry and mental health, cemented his role as the religion’s ambassador and kept Scientology in constant public conversation.
