9 More Insane Demands That Famous Actors Made For Movies

2. Tom Cruise Demanded A Scientology Tent

Say what you want about Tom Cruise, but he's definitely not a shy Scientologist. He's pretty much the religion's most public spokesman and he took that to a different level entirely on the set of War Of The Worlds.

As revealed by journalists who visited the set near Los Angeles, there was a "fully staffed tent of the Scientology organization right next to the food tents for the journalists and extras." Lee Anne De Vette, Cruise’s sister and spokeswoman called it a "gift" to the crew.

To Cruise's credit, he was quite open about why he wanted the tent there:

"I believe in freedom of speech. I felt honored to have volunteer Scientology ministers on the set. They were helping the crew. When I'm working on a movie, I do anything I can to help the people I'm spending time with. I believe in communication.""The volunteer Scientology ministers were there to help the sick and injured. People on the set appreciated that. I have absolutely nothing against talking about my beliefs. But I do so much more. We live in a world where people are on drugs forever. Where even children get drugged. Where crimes against humanity are so extreme that most people turn away in horror and dismay. Those are the things that I care about. I don't care what someone believes. I don't care what nationality they are. But if someone wants to get off drugs, I can help them. If someone wants to learn how to read, I can help them. If someone doesn't want to be a criminal anymore, I can give them tools that can better their life. You have no idea how many people want to know what Scientology is."
