Carrey hits out at Cruise and his ego
Metro, 27 February 2007
Jim Carrey has taken a swipe at Tom Cruise for manipulating people through Scientology. The actor said Cruise uses his ego to 'bend the will' of others while the religion 'was corrupt'. Carrey, 45, added that he would never join his friend in the faith or be part of a group that is 'controlling'.
The Number 23 film star, who is dating Scary Movie actress Jenny McCarthy, said: 'I don't think I'll ever belong to an organisation, because organisations corrupt. It's tough when egos get involved and they're trying to bend the will of another person, rather than allowing them to come to it if they see it.'
Cruise, 44, was recently announced as the new 'Christ' of Scientology. Friends say he has been told to spread the word of his faith throughout the world.
