I love this! The new Marvel Black Panther movie has taken the nation by storm — everyone’s talking about its success. But IRJ reports that one of the movie’s main stars is a Christian, who — at one point — turned down roles as she sought after her Christian faith:
Actor Letitia Wright, who plays Princess Shuri in the superhero flick, said she recently learned to depend on her Christian faith instead of her success in Hollywood. Early in her career, the 24-year-old star took a seven-month sabbatical from acting to focus on her faith.
“I just needed to take a break from acting because I really idolized it, so I came off of it and I went on a journey to discover God and my relationship with God and I became a Christian,” she said last week on ITV’s “This Morning.”
The conversion, Wright said, gave her “so much love and light.”
“I felt secure,” she explained. “Like I didn’t need validation from anyone else or from getting a part. My happiness wasn’t dependent on that — it was dependent on my relationship with God.”
