Tom Cruise: Suri, no pictures Updated: 2006-06-29 09:50
Tom Crusie has refused to release pictures of baby daughter Suri because of
his Scientology beliefs.
The 'Top Gun' actor and his fianc¨Ĥe Katie Holmes
celebrated the birth of their baby girl in April but are yet to make their first
public appearance together as a family.
It has now been claimed Tom is reluctant to show off
Suri because Scientology doctrine teaches followers of the sci-fi cult to avoid
taking newborn babies out unless absolutely necessary.
A friend of the actor told Britain's Grazia magazine: "Tom insists he'll do
it in his own time. He won't be bullied into showing his world his precious
angel. Tom wants to obey Scientology rules about keeping babies out of the
public eye."
Tom is a devout follower of the bizarre faith, founded by science-fiction
writer L. Ron Hubbard, and is open about his beliefs.
Before Suri was
born, it was claimed that Katie would have to give birth in
silence. Scientologists believe babies should enter the world without any
outside noise to stop them from being mentally scarred by the delivery.
