"It did frighten me. I was slobbering, crying, sweating. My cheeks blew up. I was purging. It was almost too intense. It almost drove me away." -Denzel Washington

In a recent interview with GQ magazine, outspoken Christian Denzel Washington shared about a spiritual experience he had during a service at West Angeles Church of God in Christ, the church he still attends.

It happened thirty years ago when the preacher was preaching about just "letting go," and Washington decided to do just that.

"I had this tremendous physical and spiritual experience," said Washington. "It did frighten me. I was slobbering, crying, sweating. My cheeks blew up. I was purging."

"It was almost too intense," he said. "It almost drove me away. I called my mother, and she said I was being filled with the Holy Spirit. I was like, 'Does that mean I can never have wine again?'"
