Despite animosity between their wives, Tom Cruise is still trying to persuade David Beckham that “Scientology is a life-changing and wonderful thing.”

Cruise, who attended Beckham’s LA Galaxy soccer game in Los Angeles yesterday, has prevously tried to convert David’s wife, Victoria, over to the controversial religion — but with little success.

A source said: “Tom hasn’t quite given up on persuading David that Scientology is a life-changing and wonderful thing.

“But he tends to see David privately. He thinks David is more malleable than Victoria. She is less pliable, stronger and more opinionated.”

Cruise, 45, and David, 32, have gone out on the town in Los Angeles several times in recent months as well as going running together in the city’s Fryman Canyon.

Victoria Beckham’s relationship with Cruise’s wife, Katie Holmes, has reportedly come under strain because of her reluctance to embrace Scientology.

“Katie and Tom want to surround themselves with fellow Scientologists these days, and they are distancing themselves from anyone who is not a believer,” a source said.

“For Tom, a non-believer like Victoria is very dangerous. She is opinionated, strong-minded, privately very against Scientology and has voiced her doubts.”
