Marriage Impossible? As Tom Cruise Continues His Hunt For Wife Number Four, His Friend Says That Scientology Has Changed The Actor In A Negative Way

Tom Cruise is reportedly ready for love as he enlists the assistance of the Church of Scientology in searching for his next wife. The 51-year-old actor seeks a highly-intellectual woman in her 30s. The woman similarly needs to be involved in the entertainment industry in order for her to understand the demands that come with being Tom Cruise's girlfriend.

Most importantly, she has to be a member of the highly controversial church for at least 5 years. While Cruise met a young lady at a recent gala event sponsored by the Scientology Celebrity Centre International in Los Angeles, his reps claimed that nothing serious took place: "Tom seem impressed, but he's keen to see who else might be out there."

The 'Top Gun' actor was recently married to 34-year-old actress Katie Holmes. The marriage had to end because Holmes feared that her then-husband would enlist their daughter, Suri, to an elite yet intense Scientology boot camp.

Before Holmes, the actor had a decade-long marriage with actress Nicole Kidman which ended in 2001. His first marriage was with another actress Mimi Rogers who introduced him to Scientology.

For German actor Sky Du Mont, it would be difficult for Cruise to find the perfect wife because of his heavy involvement with the church. Du Mont became friends with the 'Vanilla Sky' actor during the filming of 'Eyes Wide Shut'. He co-starred with Cruise and his former wife Kidman in the said film. Their closeness wasn't imaginary for they even went on a ski vacation together.

In a German television program, Du Mont hinted that he could no longer recognize the Cruise that he knew: "He has really changed through this Scientology, which I think is a real shame. He was a great guy. I was really good friends with him."

He also recalled how Cruise disregarded him at the Bambi Awards in Berlin: "I ran into him again. Said hi to him and he simply looked right through me. He never even acknowledged me. He's really changed through this Scientology."

He ended his talk by praising Cruise's former wives for choosing to leave the actor than to enter the church.
