The Church of Scientology has posted its slide show from this year’s L. Ron Hubbard Birthday Event, and it contains some real surprises.
Hubbard, Scientology’s founder, was born on March 13, 1911, and his birthday is Scientology’s most holy day on its calendar. (Hubbard died in 1986.) To celebrate his 115th birthday this year, current leader David Miscavige held the Birthday Event at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, Florida on Saturday, March 14.
We’re always curious about which of Scientology’s celebrities show up to this thing. Elisabeth Moss was in the front row in both 2024 and 2025. Would she be there this year? John Travolta has often showed up at the Birthday Event — he’s a local, living in Florida. And Tom Cruise has made it a few times. In 2019, in fact, we saw both Travolta and Cruise in the front row.
Well, after looking closely at the photos posted by Scientology, we’re confident that 2026 was a banner year for Miscavige, as all three of his biggest celebrities — Tom Cruise, John Travolta, and Elisabeth Moss — were in the front row giving him a standing ovation!
Now, this isn’t something that Scientology necessarily wants the rest of the world to know, so the images of these celebs are not perfect. But we think they’re good enough to conclude that these three were in attendance, along with a lot of other familiar faces.
