David Beckham respects Scientology but insists close friend Tom Cruise hasn't tried to convert him.
The soccer ace - who has become good pals with the Hollywood actor and his wife Katie Holmes - admires the couple's strange beliefs but insists he does not regularly discuss the sci-fi cult with Tom or Katie.
David - who is married to Posh Spice Victoria - said: "We respect their religion. We respect everything they do and believe in.
"But they have never turned around to us and said, 'You have to be part of this', because that's not what they're about.
"It's never been about that. There's been nothing shoved down our throats because friends don't do things like that."
The 32-year-old star says Tom and Katie have helped him and Victoria settle into Los Angeles life since David joined US soccer team Los Angeles Galaxy in July.
He added: "They are amazing people who are just so positive about life and they have been great to us."
Since moving to Hollywood, David has also become good friends with Jennifer Lopez's husband Marc Anthony.
He told Arena magazine: "We talk about all sorts. What's happening that week, that day. What Jennifer's up to, what Victoria's up to. I speak to him at least three or four times a week."

One can always tell when there's not enough going on, as writers start to think this sort of thing is newsworthy. Leave Beckham and Cruise alone and go find some real news.
