Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise requested the Church of Scientology custom-build him a luxury SUV so he could accommodate his then-pregnant wife, Katie Holmes, according to a former high-ranking staff member.

John Brosseau, a 30-year member who has since left the church, has claimed he worked on two motorcycles, an airport hangar and the lavish vehicle for the actor -- all while he was getting paid $50 a week while “supposed to be working for the betterment of mankind”.

The Scientology whistle-blower is speaking out for the first time, as it emerged the FBI had launched an investigation into the church for using free labor -- in part, according to former Scientologists, to service the demands of its celebrity icon Cruise.

Having been denounced by the church after participating in an explosive New Yorker feature, an infuriated Brosseau has now released a secret dossier of work he completed while inside the super secretive church -- complete with amazing photos showcasing the Ford Excursion limousine the church supposedly built for Cruise!
