Hugh Jackman Set to Play Apostle Paul: Had "Premonition" When He Was 13This 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." -Hugh Jackman (Australia)—[CBN News] Actor, Hugh Jackman is talking about his faith as he prepares to play one of the most well-known characters from the Bible and early church. (Photo via CBN News) After playing significant roles in movies like Wolverine and Les Miserables, Jackman is set to play St. Paul the Apostle in an upcoming film. "I am a Christian," he says in an interview with Jesus Daily. The film, Apostle Paul, is suspected to depict Paul's conversion, ministry, and imprisonment. The movie will be produced by Jackman along with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck with screenplay currently being written by Matt Cook. Jackman reportedly says he used to attend different evangelists' revival tents when he was younger and that acting gives him a sense of peace. "When I was about 13, I had a weird premonition that I was going to be on-stage, like the preachers I saw." He considers himself to be a "religious person" and that he dedicates his performances to God. He said, "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." Just like many he says that, "there are things driving me that aren't all healthy—needing approval and respect to fill some hole in me." "Through acting, I'm able to find a level of bliss and peace and calm and joy. And it feels natural," he says.
