New York, March 22 - It looks like Tom Cruise's cousin William Mapother is apprehensive to talk about his belief in Scientology.

The 'In The Bedroom' star did not give a definite answer when asked, "Are you now a Scientologist?"

"I have kind of an unusual feeling about questions like that. On the one hand, I'm grateful that people are interested . . ." the New York Post quoted Mapother as saying.

He added: "At the same time . . . there's kind of an ever-wavering boundary between the things I'm willing to talk about, and the things I'm not.

Referring to Cruise's belief in the religion, he said: "And part of the reason that I find myself particularly cautious in this area is because of the things my cousin has been through." (ANI)
