A four-year-old video of Tom Cruise talking about his belief in Scientology has been leaked on the internet.
The nine-minute video's release comes as Andrew Morton published a book about the Hollywood star, alleging that the 45-year-old actor ranks second in command in the Church of Scientology.
"This is a fair, even-handed treatment of Tom Cruise's life," the British author, who shot to fame with the publication of Diana: Her True Story, said. "He's a man who deserves attention."
The church responded with a 15-page statement, calling Morton's book Tom Cruise: An Unauthorised Biography "a bigoted, defamatory assault replete with lies" and saying Cruise "is a Scientology parishioner and holds no official or unofficial position in the Church hierarchy."
Rogers and Cowan, the publicity firm that represents Cruise, issued a statement criticising Morton for not interviewing "one person who has known or worked with Tom" in the past 25 years. The statement also derides Morton for writing "outlandish and malicious lies to sell books."
The book's publication comes as a 2004 video of Cruise extolling Scientology's virtues made its way to the internet. The video was still on gossip website Gawker.com on Tuesday.
Cruise is shown speaking in great detail about the religion. He discusses his faith while the soundtrack to his Mission: Impossible films plays in the background.
"It's rough and tumble, and it's wild and woolly and it's a blast," he says. "It's a blast. It really is fun, because... there is nothing better than... going out there and fighting the fight and, suddenly you see, things are better."
"Being a Scientologist, when you drive past an accident, it's not like anyone else; as you drive past, you know you have to do something about it, because you know you're the only one that can really help."
