Tom Cruise wants to travel in space and meet aliens.

This Science Fiction film also stars Morgan Freeman, Olga Kurylenko, Andrea Riseborough and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister on "Game of Thrones").

When asked about the possibility of other whether humans are alone in the universe or not, Cruise responded:

"I don't think you can actually count it out. It might be a little arrogant to think we were the only ones in all the galaxies throughout the universe - but I've never met one!"

These days, though, it is possible for a wealthy actor like the 50-year-old Cruise to get into space. Virgin Galactic is hoping to start commercial space flights this year and with a price tag of $200,000 per ticket, the rich and famous seem to be lining up already. The "brainchild" of English billionaire Richard Branson, Virgin Galactic flights would last 2 hours with tourists experiencing weightlessness for 6 minutes. Virgin Galactic is hoping to organize longer trips as well. Though Tom is definitely interested in the idea, he will let others go before him.

"I'm going to let a couple of other people test it out first but it would be great," he says. "I was always hoping when I was a kid that we would be traveling to different planets by now."

Tom Cruise is a well-known Scientologist, so his views on space travel and meetings aliens come as no surprise.
