Freaky Fridays: L. Ron Hubbard & Walt Disney?


L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the crazy Scientology cult, had big plans in 1955. He wanted to lure celebrities into his so-called church and one of the biggest entertainment titans that year was Walt Disney.

Hubbard offered his followers huge bonuses if they could lure any celebrities into the bizarre religion and reportedly tried to target Walt Disney himself. Of course, Walt's attentions were focused elsewhere in 1955. Though even if DISNEYLAND weren't occupying his attention at the time it's unlikely he would have given Elron the time of day.
