Keri Russell has laughed off rumours that she will be following Mission: Impossible III co-star Tom Cruise into Scientology.
Russell, who is Jewish, giggled at the rumours circulating about her changing faith, saying that they were "nonsense".
She told The Daily Mail: "I had all my Jewish grandmothers calling, going, 'Is Keri a Scientologist? Do we have to be worried?'
"I was like, I'm never going to live it down."
Russell, who plays an agent in MI:3 but found fame in the US show Felicity, said the journalist who wrote the article was threatened with legal action by her manager who told him: "I am going to sue your ass!"
