Tom Cruise wanted to be a Catholic Priest!

Before he became a Hollywood megastar, Tom Cruise was a devout Catholic who even planned to become a priest and studied at a seminary, but he was thrown out of the strict religious school after stealing liquor from the monks who ran the institution, according to his best friend from the time. Cruise, who was born Thomas Cruise Mapother IV, had a troubled upbringing thanks to his abusive father. He seems to have sought solace in the Roman Catholic Church, and was persuaded to apply to St Francis Seminary School in Cincinnati, Ohio by Father Ric Schneider.
