Cruise did not persuade Becks

The LA Galaxy player has been speaking about his close friendship with the Hollywood hunk and wife Katie Holmes


Soccer ace David Beckham has denied claims that his pal Tom Cruise persuaded him and wife Victoria to join Scientology.

The LA Galaxy player has been speaking about his close friendship with the Hollywood hunk and wife Katie Holmes since the Beckham family made the move to the States and described them as "amazing people" who were "just so positive about life".

"We respect their religion. We respect everything they do and believe in. But they have never turned around to us and said, 'You have to be a part of this', because that's not what they're about. It's never been about that,” the Mirror quoted him, as saying.

"They are amazing people who are just so positive about life and they have been great to us.
