A new documentary reveals that Tom Cruise tried to convert his then-girlfriend Penelope Cruz to Scientology and asked her to forgo her Buddhist beliefs.

Mark 'Marty' Rathbun, former Inspector General of the Church, spoke out in a new documentary called 'Scientologists at War' on Britain's Channel 4, TV3.ie reports. Rathbun says top Scientologists were tasked with helping Tom recruit Penelope for auditing, which is the cleansing of negative influences in order to heighten spiritual awareness and access untapped potential in Scientology.

After three years together, Tom and Penelope split in 2004. It was later reported that Tom's Scientology beliefs were the main reason for their break-up.

Penelope is now married to Javier Bardem. Penelope is pregnant, and expecting her second child with Bardem. They have a two-year-old son, Leonardo, together.

According to TV3.ie, Marty said in the documentary: ''Cruise started making some noises about getting some help [from the Church of Scientology, and] Miscavige had me drop me everything.

''I helped him on his divorce from Nicole and then I was auditing him and I was helping him get Penelope auditing. I was helping him in all aspects of his life.''

Tom and his second wife Katie divorced in June 2012, after six years of marriage, and they have a seven-year-old daughter, Suri, together.

In other news, Yahoo! UK reports that Penelope Cruz is in the running to be the next Bond girl for the newest installment of the franchise. If the rumors are true, the 39-year-old actress would be the oldest woman to play the part.
