"But I'd been offered everything from a High Fidelity to a John Waters film, and I just turned it all down."

In a previous expose surrounding the double tragedy, Beck told Vanity Fair magazine, "We never met to discuss the film. I did explain to her I wasn't looking to act right then, and with the album, tour schedule and a baby on the way, it wouldn't be feasible."

And he tells Spin he has no plans to turn his back on Scientology, which boasts Tom Cruise, John Travolta and Lisa-Marie Presley among its other celebrity followers.

He states, "My father was doing Scientology in the 60s, so it's something that has been around for most of my life.

"I was raised celebrating Jewish holidays, and I consider myself Jewish. But I've read books on Scientology and drawn insights from that."
