Since he was young, Tom Cruise wanted to become a priest. He enrolled in a Franciscan seminary school. After one year in this school, he caught the acting bug and took off to New York.

It’s incredible how Cruise ended up becoming one of the most prominent actors of his era and a devout Scientologist. The little boy who wanted to be a priest ceased to exist and now he’s the star of the six-film Mission Impossible franchise.
