Michelle Pfeiffer admits she accidentally once joined a cult

Michelle Pfeiffer revealed that she was once in a cult, only she didn't know it at first.

The Batman Returns actress talked to The Telegraph's Stella magazine and admitted she had accidentally become a part of a cult and didn't realize it.

She befriended a "very controlling" couple when she first came to Hollywood, this couple believed in breatharianism. Breatharianism is the belief that one can live without food and water. Her new friends tried to get her to be on a diet that "nobody can adhere to."

She realized they had been a part of a cult when she helped her first husband Peter Horton research a role on Rev. Moon Sun-myung's Unification Church. During the research "on this cult," Pfeiffer realized that she had been "in one."

According to E! News, the cult "worked with weights and put people on diets. Their thing was vegetarianism."

In addition to trying to get her to diet, she was continually told by the couple to come visit them. "I wasn't living with them but I was here a lot and they were always telling me I needed to come more."

Pfeiffer added, "I had to pay for all the time I was there, so it was financially very draining." Though Horton inadvertently helped her realize she had been in a cult, the actress didn't reveal how she left.
