Victoria Beckham is reportedly set to star in Tom Cruise’s new Scientology film.
The Spice Girl has apparently been lined up to play an alien bride in The Thetan - based on the bizarre sci-fi cult, which believes in alien life forms.
Victoria is said to be “thrilled” about getting her big Hollywood break. A source told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper: “Victoria is really hoping to make a go of it in Hollywood. This could be the perfect start for her, with good pal Tom Cruise in charge.”
The 32-year-old - who made her first attempt at acting in the 1997 Spice Girls movie Spice World - will play the bride of an alien leader called a thetan, which Scientologists claim is an immortal spiritual being, present in all humans.
Cruise - who is bankrolling the project himself after it was rejected by all the major film studios - is said to have picked Victoria for the role after being impressed by her “comic genius”.
Victoria - who is married to soccer superstar David Beckham - is currently looking to buy a property in Los Angeles after recently landing a presenting role on a new US fashion program.
This story is funny as smack. If anyone can/should play an alien it’s Victoria.

scientology isn’t as ridiculous as these blogs make it sound.. ‘thetan’ is another word for ’soul’.

Is Tom Cruise so desperate that he wants to hire V.B for his movie?!!! the only thing she seems to be able to do is shopping ! She’d better spend time with her children, especially since one of them is ill. Honestly, she and her husband are pathetic, always craving attention from the media and pretending that they can’t have a private life….yeah, right…..
