Can't really picture Tom Cruise as a priest? Well, he's far from the only celebrity who ever aspired to the religious order. Huffington Post rounds up 10 more:
- Jack White: At 14, the musician thought he "might have had the calling to be a priest," he once said. "Blues singers and people who are singing on stage have the same feelings and emotions that someone who is called to be a priest might have."
- Eva Mendes: She thought about becoming a nun, but was put off by the fact that they make roughly zero dollars per year.
- Anjelica Huston: Her father was an atheist, but "I longed to be indoctrinated," she's said. She wanted to be a nun, but when she told her father at age 6, he said, "That's wonderful, honey. When are you going to start?"
- Michael Moore: "I went to the seminary to become a priest," the director once said.
