Will Smith has responded to recent allegations he is set to become the new celebrity face of Scientology.
The I Am Legend star insists that joining the organization is not a condition of being Tom Cruise's buddy.
He tells Rush & Molloy: "You don't have to be Jewish to be a friend of Steven Spielberg. You don't have to be a Muslim to be a friend of Muhammad Ali.
"And you don't have to be a Scientologist to be a friend of Tom Cruise.
He adds: "I am a Christian. I am a student of all religions."
Radar magazine claims in its April issue that Will – along with wife Jada Pinkett and Kimora Lee Simmons – are the latest recruits to the Scientology fold.
The piece alleges: “The Church has also set its sights on African Americans, opening up a center in Harlem in 2003 and making a strong play for Hollywood supercouple Will Smith and Jada Pinkett.”
One thing's for sure - if Will does resist the pull of Scientology, he's gonna miss out on some crackin' parties.
