Smith not convinced by Scientology

Will Smith has insisted that despite being taught about Scientology by Tom Cruise, he hasn't been converted to the religion.

Smith claimed that he is a "student of world religion" and likes to know about different people's beliefs but doesn't personally enjoy organised religion.

He told Men's Vogue: "As far as Scientology goes I don't necessarily believe in organised religion.

"I was raised in a Baptist household, went to a Catholic church, lived in a Jewish neighbourhood and had the biggest crush on the Muslim girls next to our neighbourhood.

"Tom Cruise introduced me to the ideas. I'm a student of world religion so to me it's hugely important to have knowledge and to understand what people are doing."
