Still a believer. Tom Cruise spread out in a new interview about his unremitting devotion to Scientology more than 30 years after he joined the controversial faith.

Chatting with ITV News on the Thursday, October 20, London premiere of his latest movie, Jack Reacher 2: Never Go Back, Cruise, 54, was once requested about his thoughts on Louis Theroux's 2015 documentary, My Scientology Movie. The film options young actors "auditioning" for parts taking part in high-profile Scientologists in scenes that recreate accounts from ex-members about incidents involving senior church management.

Despite the destructive tone of the film, Cruise replied to the reporter’s question by raving about the sure affect L. Ron Hubbard’s organization has had on him.

“It’s one thing that has helped me incredibly in my existence; I’ve been a Scientologist for over 30 years,” the actor responded. “It’s one thing, you realize, without it, I wouldn’t be the place I'm. So it’s a beautiful religion. I’m incredibly proud.”

Though Cruise (arguably the most high-profile Scientologist) stays dedicated to his religious beliefs, there were many celebrities — including Leah Remini and Paul Haggis, among others — to depart the Church of Scientology.

Many ex-Scientologists have claimed leaders force individuals to shun somebody who leaves the church. Those who have left the church are allegedly categorised as “suppressive” people.

However, a rep for the Church of Scientology prior to now informed Us, "We never comment on individual parishioners' lives. On the issue of Church religious practices, we do not know who your anonymous sources are, but they got it all wrong. The answer to your question is no. Scientologists respect the faith of others, associate with and befriend members of every religion. Scientologists do not cut ties with non-Scientologist friends or family members because they have chosen another religion. Given that Scientology is a new religion, Scientologists often have family members and friends who are not Scientologists and who may practice another faith or no faith at all. This causes no conflict for Scientologists."
