On August 17, Daily Mail quoted its own source as saying that Tom Cruise had not visited Scientologyโs headquarters in the town of East Grinstead (West Sus๐โฏ๐, England) for about 3 years. Worth mentioning, during that time, the actor born in 1962 mainly lived in England to perform Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning ( Mission Impossible: Karma ) part 1. He also often flew helicopters around the country. fog. Tom Cruise visited Birmingham or the Cotswolds but never once landed in East Grinstead. Scientology also has a branch in Central London but failed to attract the Top Gun star .
Scientologyโs UK headquarters is Saint Hill Manor, which was purchased by cult founder L. Ron Hubbard in 1959. He and his family lived there before converting his home into a church.
Previously, Tom had a habit of landing in West Sus๐โฏ๐ on an AS350 helicopter to visit the church.
Tomโs abandonment of the habit raises suspicions that he has grown cold towards the cult that caused him to abandon his two marriages and his only biological daughter.
In July 2021, international media reported that Tom was increasingly distant from Scientology because he was not seen at Saint Hill Manor even though he was in England filming.
Sources indicate that he often spends his free time staying at the manor. However, at that time, some people explained that the stressful COVID-19 pandemic situation caused gatherings to be limited.
Representatives for Tom Cruise and Scientology did not respond when contacted multiple times by the press.

Tom Cruise joined Scientology in 1986 through the introduction of his first wife, Mimi Rogers (married 1987-1990).
He is said to be the most famous member and also sponsors the most money for the sect. He is also close to the current leader, David Miscavige. This person was one of Tomโs groomsmen at his wedding to Katie Holmes in 2006.
Many people believe that Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmesโs refusal to join the cult was the main cause of their marriage breakup in 2001 and 2012, respectively. Since โgoing their separate waysโ with his third wife, Tom has also cut off ties with his only biological daughter, Suri Cruise, just because Scientology didnโt like it.
Tom and Nicoleโs two adopted children, Bella and Connor, also joined the cult following their father. They are also said to not see their adoptive mother again according to the sectโs orders. Bella currently lives in Croydon (UK), is married and works at Saint Hill, which has about 400 employees. Meanwhile, Connor is a fisherman and chef, living near the sectโs branch in Clearwater, Florida, USA.
Scientology in the UK is small. According to the 2021 census, fewer than 2,000 people in England and Wales claim to be Scientology members. However, this sect has churches spread across the globe.
