Washington, October 28 (ANI): David Beckham has smashed rumours that his pal Tom Cruise was making attempts to convert him and his wife Victoria to Scientology.

Fashions favourite couple have been good friends with Cruise and his wife Katie Holmes since they shifted to the U.S. in 2007, and spend much of their time together watching films or playing with the kids.

However, the 33-year-old ace soccer player, raised as a Christian, insists that any claims that Cruise had been trying to push them towards Scientology are baseless.

“I respect any person’’s religion but he’’s never pushed anything on to us. Friends don”t do that,” Contactmusic quoted Beckham as telling Britain’’s GQ magazine. (ANI)
