Tom Cruise refuses treatment for broken ankle

It's been revealed that Tom Cruise is refusing treatment for a broken ankle he suffered on the set of Mission Impossible 6 due to his religious beliefs.

RadarOnline.com has quoted an anonymous source who has reportedly told the publication that the actor is looking to “Scientology to cure him”.

The actor broke his ankle while performing a stunt that saw him jump across a building.

The 55-year-old’s injury was so bad that he needed to undergo surgery – only according to the online publication he never underwent the operation.

“According to the Church’s faith, it believes that illnesses and accidents like this come because there is a Potential Trouble Source in someone’s life,” the source said.

“A PTS comes because a member is connected to a ‘Suppressive Person’, which is usually someone who has left the Church or is a non-beliver.”

In Tom’s case he is has been surrounded by a number of supposed SPs in his life including ex-wives Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes - both who are Catholic and who left the church after their divorces.

Katie now lives with their daughter, Suri, in New York and it’s rumoured that Tom hasn’t seen her in three years.
