[b]Hugh Jackman, (You all remember wolverine in x-men) who is set to play St Paul in an upcoming film about the apostle's life, has spoken out about his own religious faith.
In a candid interview with Parade magazine ,Jackman said he was "brought up very religious".
"I'm a Christian. I used to go to different evangelists' [revival] tents all the time. When I was about 13, I had a weird premonition that I was going to be on stage, like the preachers I saw, "he said.

Jackman added that acting gives him a sense of peace. "There are things driving me that aren't all healthy—[needing] approval and respect to fill some hole who-knows-where in me,"he said.
"Am I worthy? All those fears. Through acting, I'm able to find a level of bliss and peace and calm and joy. And it feels natural."

He also called himself a "religious person" and said he dedicates each one of his performances to God.
"This is going to sound weird to you. In Chariots of Fire the runner Eric Liddell says, 'When I run, I feel His pleasure. 'And I feel that pleasure when I act and it's going well, particularly on stage, "Jackman said.
"I feel what everyone's searching for, the feeling that unites us all. Call it' God. 'Before I go on stage every night, I pause and dedicate the performance to God, in the sense of 'Allow me to surrender.'
"When you allow yourself to surrender to the story, to the character, to the night, to the audience, transcendence happens. And when that happens, there is nothing like it on the planet. It's the moment people experience when they fall in love, which is equally frightening and exciting. That's what it feels like."

Jackman has previously distanced himself from the evangelical church, telling Parade magazine in 2009 that he found it too "restrictive".

It is thought that his new film, Apostle Paul, will focus on Paul's conversion, his ministry and his imprisonment. Jackman will also produce the film, along with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. The screen play is currently being written by Matt Cook. [/b]

So god gets an endorsement from an actor.
Wow!

I have come to realize over the years that great things of value do not need clever marketing, advertising or celebrity endorsements.

Well congratulations to you hater, Some actors have been and many will still be instruments for the expansion of God's kingdom.

If i won the lottery, i would invite my families and friends to celebrate with me. Thats more like the mandate our Lord Jesus Christ gave when he said Go ye into the world and preach the gospel. Too bad there's nothing you or anything else can do about it but wail.

If

And I agree with you completely on this one.

From time immemorial, clowns and actors have been Instruments for the expansion of the imaginary kingdoms of Santa Claus, The Tooth fairy, the lion king, and a host of other children's fairy tales.

Just when will YOU grow up ?

Pointless.Tell me something ive not already heard from a desperate god-hater. None of those have a kingdom, neither do they claim to be the creator of the universe. Fairy tales are for children, God created all things.

Ill grow up when you use your brains.

Ive done things im not proud of and i think at a point in time many people too have done such things, including this man. The dividing line is that you have chosen to sear your conscience, frown at moral constraints and fine tune the divine morality standard to adjust to your superficial freedom.

like seriously, celebrities are the measurement of the existence of your god, Ha ha, even smart 10years old wouldn't say this you just wrote. Well, since celebrities leads the path, follow suit, because that's what primitive minds do, they follow the masses on what is in vogue.


But leonardo da vinci though, He's the reason we have anemometer,Helicopter,parachute,armoured car, giant crowbow,revolving bridge amongst other inventions by him, one of his invention you can't do without is clock, Yes, he also invented it. One way or the other Da vinci has enhanced humanity with his invention out his brilliant mind and you lack an ounce of his intelligence that's why god is your standard of living. Can you imagine your god saying he has unconditional love for his children and still went ahead and built hell fire for people like me who don't love him back.

Bros.,check am now, Leonado and your God, which one mumu pass?

hahahahahaha couldn't even answer the question, you just had your way round it like a 16 month old child yelling 'me too'.

This is what religion does to the brain, Its stops the critical thinking process in your brain and makes you adopt god as the answer to all you problems but sir',I tell you what, If great minds were like you, then you wouldn't have the phone you using to view this, you wouldn't have the internet as well.
