"Pulp Fiction" star John Travolta, who is a member of Scientology, has no plans to see the documentary "Going Clear" that reportedly shows the church in bad light.
Directed by Alex Gibney, the documentary has interviewed former church members to shed some light on the religious organisation that boasts Travolta and Tom Cruise among its followers.
""No, I haven't and I don't really care to," Travolta told Tampa Bay Times in a telephonic interview.
"I haven't experienced anything that the hearsay has (claimed), so why would I communicate something that wasn't true for me? It wouldn't make sense, nor would it for Tom (Cruise), I imagine."
Travolta called "Going Clear" a product of "people who were disgruntled with their experiences" with Scientology, while the church "has been nothing but brilliant for me."
"I've been so happy with my (Scientology) experience in the last 40 years that I really don't have anything to say that would shed light on (a documentary) so decidedly negative.
"I've been brought through storms that were insurmountable, and (Scientology has) been so beautiful for me, that I can't even imagine attacking it," the 61-year-old star said.
