David Beckham Dismisses Scientology Claims.... Soccer ace David Beckham has brushed off reports his Hollywood pal Tom Cruise is trying to convert the sports star and his wife Victoria to Scientology.

The Beckhams have become close friends with Cruise and wife Katie Holmes since they moved to the U.S. in 2007.

But the Los Angeles Galaxy star, who was brought up as a Christian, insists that claims Cruise, a devout follower of Scientology, has been attempting to convert them to the religion are false.

He tells Britain's GQ magazine, "I respect any person's religion but he's never pushed anything on to us. Friends don't do that."

Beckham made a lucky escape in Los Angeles on Friday(24Oct08) when he avoided getting a speeding ticket.

The Los Angeles Galaxy player was driving at high speed in his Porsche 911 when he was pulled over by a traffic cop in Hollywood.

But the officer simply gave Beckham a stern warning and let him off without a fine.
