It has been claimed that the soccer superstar and his famous wife, Victoria Adams, have been persuaded by the head of the Church of Scientology to join the controversial religion.

Though soccer superstar David Beckham and his wife Victoria Adams insisted that actor Tom Cruise never tried to convert them to Scientology, recent reports claimed that the Beckhams has become the target of the belief system. According to reports, the head of the Church of Scientology has been eyeing the British star family to be the religion's followers.

A former Scientologist Marc Headley claimed that the religion leader David Miscavige wants to use fellow follower Cruise to recruit the famous couple into becoming Scientology's believers. Allegedly, Miscavige even has a wall of photographs showcasing pictures of the Cruise family with the Beckhams inside his office.

"Tom's a good friend of the Beckhams. The church leader David Miscavige has literally hundreds of pictures of him with Beckham and Victoria and all the kids. They'd love to get them into the religion, said Headley. "There was talk about introducing David to Miscavige. They redid the field with the best turf you could get - just to impress him."

Further, Headley who used to produce promotional films for the controversial religion explained that the leader even persuaded the former Manchester United star to become a guest at the Church's Gold Base headquarters in Helmet, California, but said that the offer was rejected by Beckham.
