She digs it,” the 42-year-old actor tells the magazine.When asked if he’s become more passionate about Scientology, Cruise says: “I’ve always been passionate about it. I’ve always talked about it when people asked about it.”He also confirmed there was a Scientology massage tent on the set of his upcoming film, “War of the Worlds.”“I also had a cappuccino tent on that set. And I made sure the crews were fed well, too. And if someone wanted an assist from a (Scientology) volunteer, it was there for them,” he says. “People are curious about it – they’re always asking me about it, they want to know what Scientology is.”—-When asked by the interviewer if he’s going to propose to Holmes, Cruise whispered, “It’s gonna happen, man. It’ll happen.”
