[1] Possibly a Scientologist. Quoted in Vogue, 11 December 2007, Smith stated, "In all of the experiences I've had with Tom [Cruise] and Scientology, like, 98 percent of the principles are identical to the principles of the Bible." See also Ben Widdicombe, "Will Smith boosting Scientology", NY Daily News, 9 January 2008. Also MSNBC's Courtney Hazlett, quoting a source, "He's been getting more and more involved... And it isn't just him, it's definitely Jada, too." After such statements started hitting the media, damage control ensued. Will Smith's publicist issued a statement saying "I can tell you with 100 percent certainty that Will is not a Scientologist." Will Smith himself gave a rather ambiguous statement to Rush & Molloy at the NY Daily News, "I am a Christian. I am a student of all religions."
