Years ago, especially during the Trump presidency, Hollywood actor Rainn Wilson (probably best known for The Office) always whined and tweeted about Trump, religion, conservatives and anything that Hollywood told him to hate. But something has changed with this guy…. Suddenly Rainn Wilson has found religion and is speaking the truth. Wilson even admitted on a podcast that God “freaks out” communists in Hollywood, which of course it pure fact.
I’m still not a fan of the guy, or the lame show, but good for Rainn Wilson for finally waking up.
Rainn Wilson, who rose to fame playing Dwight Schrute on “The Office,” talked on a recent podcast about the need for a spiritual revolution.
The actor spoke about his religious journey and trying to navigate Hollywood and modern culture as a person of faith on the “No Small Endeavor” podcast, hosted by theologian and professor Lee C. Camp.
Wilson also noted how he has been discussing faith for a “good 12 years,” noting, “Frankly, I think it freaks people out. I think that most of Hollywood, especially comedians in Hollywood, talking about God is the uncoolest thing you can ever possibly do.”
He further added that “comedians will call themselves nerds and say, ‘Oh, I’m so uncool, I’m so uncool.’ But it’s this weird thing. It’s like, Hollywood is about who’s sitting at the cool kids’ lunch table.”
Regarding Hollywood and talking about faith, the actor explained, “So do I, do I have any smoking guns? Do I have any kind of like, emails…? No, not really. I can just kind of sense a collective eye roll about it. It certainly doesn’t help my career. I’m not doing any, any of this for any self-promotion or, or career.”
