'No religious talk with Cruise'
11/07/2007 17:20 - (SA)
New York - Victoria Beckham and
her soccer star husband might be moving near their friends Tom
Cruise and Katie Holmes in Los Angeles but the former pop star
is clear about one thing - it's not about religion.
The Beckhams have struck up a close friendship with actors
Cruise and Holmes, who are both Scientologists.
Cruise has been
spotted watching David Beckham play for Real Madrid in Spain
and the wives photographed shopping and dining together.
But Beckham, 33, the former "Posh Spice" member of the
1990s band The Spice Girls, told a television interview to
mark her family's move to the United States that religion was
nothing to do with their friendship.
"There's been so much made of the Scientology, the this,
the that. They are genuinely lovely people. Wonderful family,"
Beckham said in an interview to be aired on Thursday on NBC's
Today program.
Beckham said religion was not an issue when the couples
socialised and it had not even come up.
Ardent follower
"They do their thing. We do our thing," said Beckham, who
was married by an Anglican Church of Ireland bishop near Dublin
in 1999.
The Beckhams, who have three sons, were among a
star-studded guest list at Cruise and Holmes' Scientology
wedding in Italy last November.
Holmes, 28, who was raised a
Catholic, gave birth to daughter Suri in April that year.
Cruise is an ardent follower of the religion founded by
science-fiction writer L Ron Hubbard.
David Beckham agreed to move his family to Los Angeles
after signing a five-year contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy
team.
