Tom Cruise who? Turns out Scientology very nearly had another Hollywood hunk at the helm, before Brad Pitt narrowly escaped death during one of their most gruelling programmes.

Yep, a former church member has revealed the Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood star was sucked into the sci-fireligion by his ex-girlfriend Juliette Lewis. He even reportedly completed two of their low-level courses in 1991 and 1993!

Scientology defector Samantha Domingo has also spilled that Brad endured their Purification Rundown – a highly controversial detox technique that claims to help people sweat out their “toxins”.

“Juliette got in trouble because she got back into drugs,” says Samantha of Brad’s lady love at the time. “She was in my course group but refused to study.”
