His Two Secrets

95 Comments

[Blind Gossip] This foreign-born movie actor had a serious problem that he hid for years.

He was a terrible alcoholic.

He is vague about how he got sober, but does mention rehab and AA.

It’s actually more interesting than that.

He hasn’t really talked about another significant influence around that time.

It turns out that one of his costars – who is a huge American movie star – intervened.

He did [a movie] with [Movie Star] and [Movie Star] could tell that he was suffering. He invited him over to [his church] and had some people talk to him. [Foreign] wound up getting a little more deeply involved with the church than he likely intended to.

So did Foreign go through the church’s detox program? And is Foreign now a full-blown member of the church?

It’s hard to tell. He’s dodgy about it. He does still go there occasionally. Don’t know if he goes because he’s into it or if he goes because he feels obligated or grateful to [Movie Star].

There are other famous actors who have been members of the church but who have also been dodgy about it (or flat-out lied about it), so it is not impossible to imagine that Foreign is doing the same.

So, while his alcoholism is no longer a secret, his relationship with the church remains a secret.

      Clue says “church”. Scientology isn’t a church. It’s a brain washing cult.

      Cults aren’t religion.

  10. Co-star is Tom Cruise, “religion” is Scientology

    Not a fan of Cruise or his movies so I have no idea who the actor is. I just hope he’s smart enough not to get too involved in the Scientology racket.

  19. Simon Pegg
    Tom Cruise and the CO$.

    Nope, but he respects what they did for him. And he is friends with Tom Cruise and values that. He’s open about it.

  20. Foreign Actor: Don’t know

    American Movie Star: Tom Cruise

    Do you think Foreign is a member? Not sure but having lived with an alcoholic the foreign actor was given a real gift. It gets very ugly if you cannot get sober. It will break your heart it is so hard to watch.

  23. Foreign Actor: Simon Pegg
    American Movie Star: Tom Cruise

    [Optional]: Not yet, but I think he’s probably close to signing up. Run, Fat Boy, Run!

  36. Foreign Actor: Simon Pegg

    American Movie Star: Tom Cruise

    [Optional] Do you think Foreign is a member?
    No, probably just considers it an obligation considering what they helped him through.

  37. I think the actor is the utterly unfunny but thinks he’s hilarious Simon pegg who has been in the news this week saying Tom has been remarking on his new 8 pack. So Tom cruise obvs. Not sure if he’d be into the scientology but you never can tell!

  39. Simon Pegg and Tom Cruise

    Always suspicious about Pegg’s alcoholism confession. It came so out of the blue. He never seemed to have classic hallmarks of it. Almost as if it was a cover for something else…

  45. Simon Pegg and Tom Cruise – apparently he might be more interested in scientology than a normal person should be.

    Credit to Tom Cruise for helping him out but Scientology is a cult and not only exists to make money.

  50. This is about Scientology. I wouldn’t join the church but have been told over and over again that their classes are really really good – espceially if you are battling alcoholism or drugs.

  52. Foreign Actor – Simon Pegg
    Movie Star – Tom Cruise.

    as for being a member, I suspect not but unwilling to burn any bridges to keep working…

  54. Simon Pegg, Tom Cruise and The a church of Scientology.

    I don’t think he’s a member, but getting sober is hard and you gotta use what works to keep you on track.

  57. Foreign actor: Gary Oldman?

    American Actor: No clue. I think Tom Cruise right away because Scientology. But I don’t think they’ve done any projects together. Therefore my guess is probably wrong.

    I look forward to guesses.

  59. Tom Cruise a definite and maybe Henry Cavill for the other.

    I have no clue about whether he is or isn’t. I could see him just being polite and attending the cray cray just show his gratitude.

  63. Colin Farrell
    Tom Cruise

    Minority Report – I don’t think he’s a Scientologist. But I think it does have a program for addicts that seems to be successful – whether placebo or not.

  66. Hmmm – Foreign Actor: Simon Pegg

    American Movie Star: Tom Cruise

    [Optional] Do you think Foreign is a member? If he isn’t now then he’s on the road to it.

  68. Shot in the dark but I think this may be Simon Pegg. I remember reading an article where he talked about rehab. He also seems cagey when interveiwers ask him about his friendship with Tom Cruise and what he thinks about Scientology

    Foreign Actor: Simon Pegg

    American Movie Star: Tom Cruise

    [Optional] Do you think Foreign is a member? I really hope not, I thought he was smarter than that.

  69. Not sure on the Foreign Actor: from the American actor being in Marvel films it could be one of multiple, Benedict Cumberbatch maybe?

    American Star : Chris Pratt and his creepy culty Hillsong church.

  77. Colin Farrell and Tom Cruise

    I think Colin was a full blown alcoholic when they were filming Minority Report.

    He’s now probably caught up in Scientology

  78. Henry Cavill for the foreigner? Shot in the dark on that one.

    Tom Cruise for the American movie star.

    SCIENTOLOGY IS NOT A CHURCH! Sorry for yelling but it is a cult.

    Whoever the foreign actor is, he’s probably been sucked in by those people as they do not want you to leave. They love to blackmail people so even if he is a member, he may not want to be.

  80. Simon Pegg, UK native, and his friendship with Tom Cruise and Scientology church, they have been in Mission Impossible series together, his latest interviews with confession of alcoholism.
    Good for him for fighting his personal demons, not sure he’s chosen the best way possible, religions could be bonkers

  88. Foreign Actor: Simon Pegg
    American Movie Star: Tom Cruise

    I have no idea whether Pegg is now a member or not. I hope he’s not, and that he’s vague about AA/rehab because he doesn’t want to broadcast it.
