    He’s a scientologist that made a scientology propaganda movie together with his son. Doesn’t get more cringe than that.

          Dang, that’s disappointing.

          I thought Will Smith was one of the better celebrities. I don’t keep up with this stuff, though.

        I sometimes wonder if those celebrities are being paid though. I have no evidence of that, it just seems like something Scientology would do to try to gain traction.

          I mean, they purposely recruit Hollywood stars to help lend credence to their cult. They don’t treat them the same as the normies and just basically shower them with praise and adoration to make them think Scientology is awesome.
