Despite growing up Catholic, Cruise is now a devout Scientologist. Mimi Rogers, his first wife, was the one who brought him to the religion. Since his debut, Cruise has become open about his Scientology beliefs, devoting much of his life to its rituals. David Miscavige, the leader of the Church of Scientology, was even the best man during his wedding to Katie Holmes in 2006.
