NEW YORK: Scientology rescued Tom Cruise from life as a "functional illiterate" by providing tools to cope with his dyslexia, the actor tells People magazine in its latest issue. The Hollywood superstar recalled how he had been labelled dyslexic at the age of seven and tried desperately to hide his learning disability from the other children at school. The dyslexia remained a thorn in his side right up until the 1986 film Top Gun that made Cruise a bona fide mega-star. The same year, a friend gave Cruise a picture book on The U.S. Church of Scientology, founded by science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard. "Everything fell into place," Cruise said. "Many people had tried to teach me, but no one had taught me how to learn or how to study." AFP
