Rumors have always surrounded Tom Cruise and his highly secretive religion, Scientology. Newest allegations, however, say that the church put multiple women through an audition process before they were allowed to date Mr. Cruise, in an effort to find him a wife or girlfriend. The Church of Scientology has officially denied these reports. Of course, they’re not the only ones denying a potential love affair, so is his ex-wife Katie Holmes and her alleged boyfriend, Jamie Foxx.
Last week, reports ran that Tom Cruise, the world’s most famous scientologist, may need a little help picking out a girlfriend or potential wife. A Vanity Fair article that was written over a year ago indicates that the Church of Scientology officially vetted Homeland’s Nazanin Boniadi to be Tom Cruise’s love interest.
You may know the 31-year-old actress for her role on this season’s Homeland. She plays a CIA analyst in the award-winning action drama thriller. But the alleged vetting took place much earlier than this, back in 2004.
At the time, Ms. Boniadi was among dozens of women considered for Tom. Then 25, the actress was allegedly selected because of her medical degree and slender frame. Boniadi spoke to the Post and confirmed that she was at one time a Scientologist, however she refused to comment on the Tom Cruise situation, revealing:
“I’d rather not talk about that. It’s something that I’m not happy to...Like I said, I have so many positive things happening in my life, it’s a shame not to talk about that.”
The article was fairly graphic in it’s description of what Nazanin allegedly had to go through. According to the article, this includes changing her hair color, fixing her smile, months of invasive questioning and filing down some of her teeth, in an effort to make her even more attractive.
Of course, Cruise wasn’t the only one to make news for a potential dating bombshell last week. That honor also went to his ex-wife Katie Holmes and friend (ex?) Jamie Foxx. According to an article in In Touch:
"Katie and Jamie have been dating for a while. They’re very Mission: Impossible about their romance.A hotel employee confirmed that Katie had stayed at the hotel with Jamie and that she was taking his car. So the driver drove her home to her Chelsea apartment.”
