A Norwegian woman and former member of the Scientology has claimed that the church had put her through a secret audition to check if she was worthy of being Tom Cruise's wife.

During an interview with Australia's Women's Day, Anette Johansen revealed that in early 2005 she was contacted by the church to film a training video, Radar Online reported.

Johansen, 27, said that the people, who had contact her for the tape, asked her so many questions about her life, family background and everything she had done in Scientology.

Johansen said that she remained in the dark about her true audition tape, until she read an article by former Scientologist Paul Haggis' about the church's search for a new wife for Cruise following his divorce from Nicole Kidman.

 

The report further revealed that Marc Headley, a former senior Scientologist, who was in charge of putting together a reel of women for Tom to review, confirmed her claim, saying that Johansen was indeed auditioned to be Cruise's wife.
