Will ‘helps Tom boost his cult’

Will Smith is not just Tom Cruise's best friend – now it seems he may have been recruited by his pal to introduce people into the Church of Scientology.

Smith has notoriously dodged questions concerning his position on the controversial movement, but now his actions could speak louder than words.

The 39-year-old raised suspicions after he was said to be handing out cards for a Scientology 'personality test' to the crew on the set of film Hancock as a wrap present.

In the past, the I Am Legend actor said: 'I was introduced to Scientology by Tom, and I'm a student of world religion. I was raised in a Baptist household. I went to a Catholic school, but the ideas of the Bible are 98 per cent the same ideas as Scientology and 98 per cent the same ideas of Hinduism and Buddhism.'

Earlier this week, 45-year-old Cruise threatened a £50million legal case against the publishers of a new unauthorised 'tell-all' book that claims he is second in command of the religious sect.

He was also furious at his one-year-old daughter, Suri, being dubbed the devil's child.
