Questions have been swirling about whether Will Smith will become a Scientologist.
Back in December, Shaun Robinson of Access Hollywood asked Smith the loaded question, “What about Scientology do you embrace?”
“I
was introduced, [to] it by Tom and I’m a student of world religion,”
Smith said. “I was raised in a Baptist household, I went to a Catholic
school, but the ideas of the Bible are 98 percent the same ideas of
Scientology, 98 percent the same ideas of Hinduism and Buddhism.”
Will even admitted in Men's Vogue that he agrees with the basic tenets of Scientology.
Still, in a poll completed about a month ago on the Vizu Answers research network, 60% of respondents did not think that Will Smith would become a Scientologist. However, since then new information has come out that Will and his wife are plowing over $1 million into a school with ties to Scientology. Maybe those basic tenets are starting to sink in.
