WE'VE always known Tom Cruise is a bit looney, but his latest scientology propaganda video leaked on the internet crosses the line into the downright creepy.

The video has emerged at the same time as a controversial, unauthorised biography.

It contains startling allegations, which have been denied by The Church of Scientology.

Cruise, one of the most high-profile members of the group, had no immediate comment to make on the book, according to his publicist's office, while the church described the book as "a bigoted, defamatory assault replete with lies". 

In the book, penned by British journalist and writer Andrew Morton, who lifted the lid on Princess Diana's marriage in Diana: Her True Story, a mostly unfavourable portrait is painted of Cruise as a calculating control freak.

However, in the video, Cruise says as a scientologist you just "see things they way they are, in all its glory, in all its complexity."
