"Tom Cruise is allegedly planning to build a $10 million bunker underneath in preparation for the end of the world.
The 'Top Gun' star, who is a devout follower of Scientology, is said to believe evil intergalactic ruler Xenu will attack Earth and so has designed a place to hide underneath his Colorado mansion.
A source told America's Star magazine: "Tom is planning to build a $10 million bunker under his Telluride estate.
"It's a self-contained underground shelter with a high tech air-purifying system where up to ten people can survive for years."
Scientology's founder, science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, claimed extra-terrestrial beings were sent to Earth by intergalactic ruler Xenu, who then destroyed the aliens with hydrogen bombs in a volcano. The aliens' souls attached themselves to chosen humans, known as thetans, who will be one day be saved.
Tom is a devout follower of the bizarre sci-fi cult and has been hailed by leaders of the faith as the "chosen one" who will spread the word of the religion.
The 45-year-old actor is currently in Berlin filming World War II drama, 'Valkyrie'.
He has been joined by wife Katie Holmes and 17-month-old daughter Suri, but his adopted children with first wife Nicole Kidman - Isabella, 14, and 12-year-old son Connor - are said to have spent the summer at a Scientology camp."
"Tom Cruise was left furious after a crew member on his latest film set passed wind during a minute’s silence.
The Hollywood actor - who is currently shooting World War II drama ‘Valkyrie’ in Berlin - had paused filming to honor the anti-Nazi heroes portrayed in the movie when one employee decided to use the tribute to break wind.
Fellow star Christian Berkel - who plays anti-Hitler plotter Albrecht Mertz von Quirbheim - said: “The film’s director Bryan Singer, the screenplay writer Christopher McQuarrie and Tom Cruise asked us all to observe a moment’s silence shortly before we started filming.”
A source on the set told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper: “Fortunately the mystery gassy man didn’t completely ruin the touching gesture.
“Quite rightly, Tom is furious. We were filming at the Bendler Block in Germany where the anti-Nazis were executed.”
The source said Cruise decided to ask for the minute’s silence to show respect for the deceased and appease the German government, who only allowed the movie to be filmed if post-war Germany was shown in a positive light.
The source added: “So for somebody to pass wind in a situation like that is unforgivable.”
The silence was filmed and now Cruise and the producers will go through the footage to identify the culprit, who is likely to be fired."
