Everyone knows that the most commonly practiced religion in Hollywood is the worship of self, even if most celebrities won’t admit it. 
There are also plenty of stars who dabble in New Age practices, who call themselves “spiritual but not religious,” and a solid number of famous people who follow Eastern religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism. 
And while lukewarm “Christians” are prevalent enough in Tinseltown, when it comes to being a Hollywood A-lister, it’s very unlikely that any will admit to being a full-fledged, church-going, sacrament practicing Catholic. It could be that the celebrity lifestyle doesn’t align with Catholicism. Or, perhaps there’s an invisible barrier preventing Catholics from reaching A-list status. More likely it’s a combination of both.
However, there are a handful of Catholic celebrities who wear their faith loudly and proudly. It may mean that they’re shunned by their peers, but despite that, these famous players have decided that their religion means more than fitting in.
<h4>Mark Wahlberg</h4>

Many millennials think of Wahlberg by his former stage name, Marky Mark. Wahlberg has collected plenty of impressive Hollywood accolades including a BAFTA Award, nominations for two Academy Awards, three Golden Globe Awards, nine Primetime Emmy Awards, and three Screen Actors Guild Awards. 
Besides just achieving success on the screen, the 52-year-old father of four is also a devout Catholic. 
“I attribute everything good and everything positive in life to my faith,” Wahlberg said during a 2023 <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mark-wahlberg-says-once-he-started-putting-my-faith-and-focus-on-god-good-things-happened-to-him" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a>. “As soon as I started putting my faith and focus on God, good things started happening for me.”
“And even when they didn’t, [faith] gives you the coping skills to deal with things that are inevitable, like loss and failure and those things,” he continued. “But, you know, again, my faith and my family, those are the most important aspects of my life.”
In 2022, Wahlberg appeared in “Father Stu,” a movie based on the true story of a boxer who became a Catholic priest. The actor said it was “his calling” and “mission” to get the movie made.
The meditation app Hallow, the most downloaded and used Catholic app in the world, launched a partnership with the actor in 2022 as he was promoting the movie. At the time, Wahlberg urged his 18 million social media followers to pray the rosary with him.
“You got to stay prayed up. God bless you,” he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/stay-prayed-up-mark-wahlberg-urges-his-18-million-followers-to-say-the-rosary-with-him" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> at the time.

Yes, Lieutenant Dan from “Forrest Gump” is also a practicing Catholic in addition to promoting causes that help veterans.
He said he’s found success despite being openly conservative in Hollywood. 
“I’ve had a blessed career in the movie and television and theater business,” Sinise <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gary-sinise-talks-about-being-a-conservative-in-hollywood-and-how-it-affected-his-career" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in January 2023. “I’ve done amazing things, I’ve worked with amazing people, and it really played a major role, if not the key element, in what I’m doing today on the service side.”
Sinise discussed his journey to becoming Catholic in 2019. He said he was led to the church by his wife, Moira Harris, who converted herself after being cast in a play. The actor said he surprised his family by choosing to join the church about a decade after his wife. 
“I surprised my family. I’d gone through the confirmation classes and whatnot myself behind everybody’s back and I didn’t tell anybody that I was doing it,” he <a href="https://cruxnow.com/church-in-the-usa/2019/02/actor-gary-sinise-describes-his-road-to-the-catholic-church" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Catholic News Service.
“On Christmas Eve 2010 I told the family I was taking them to dinner at Morton’s Steakhouse and have Christmas Eve dinner,” Sinise continued. “And on the way there, I pulled into the church, and everybody asked, ‘What are we doing here?’ I said come on in. We walked into the church. The priest was there, and he confirmed me. It was beautiful.”

The actor who portrayed Jesus in Mel Gibson’s massively popular drama, “The Passion of the Christ” (2004) is himself a Catholic. The 55-year-old actor credits his entire career to saying a daily rosary. He also credits his devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary with helping him be cast in “The Thin Red Line” (1998), which was the starting point of his career.
While filming “The Passion,” Caviezel is said to have experienced a dislocated shoulder, pneumonia, and hypothermia, among other ailments. 
“When I was up there on the Cross, I learned that in His suffering was our redemption. Remember the servant is no greater than the master,” he <a href="https://aleteia.org/2019/03/20/jim-caviezel-gave-what-may-be-the-greatest-catholic-address-of-the-21st-century/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> while addressing a roomful of college students. “Each of us must carry our own cross. There is a price for our faith, for our freedoms. I have been literally scourged, hit by the whips, crucified, struck by lightning, yes, open heart surgery — that’s what happens after five and a half months of hypothermia.”
He spoke about his faith similarly in 2018. “I never thought that being a Christian would be an easy road, but that my heart, even on a cross in the freezing cold, nothing could stop my burning heart from loving Jesus. It’s important. And I took it as an actor because I want people to see why I am proud to be a Christian,” Caviezel <a href="https://relevantradio.com/2018/03/jim-caviezel-catholic-hollywood-love-greater-motivator-fear/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> at the time.

Actress Patricia Heaton is another mainstream actress who was cast on a hit sitcom despite being conservative, and Catholic to boot. She discussed growing up in a devout family during an interview in 2022 after meeting Pope Francis at the VITAE Summit in the Vatican.
“My sister is a Dominican nun,” she <a href="https://www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/2022-09/actors-reflect-on-pope-francis-call-to-promote-common-good-vitae1.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> at the time. “My grandparents met Pope John Paul I. My mom was one of 15 children. I have some 100 first cousins on my mom&#8217;s side. So, we&#8217;re a very Catholic family. Meeting the Pope is such an incredible honor that I never thought I would have.”
Unlike some of her peers, Heaton said she hasn’t been ostracized for her faith.
“As much as people want to paint Hollywood as a sort of anti-religious place, I have found that going into work, we&#8217;re all there to do a job,” Heaton said during the same conversation. “We&#8217;re all there to be professional. We all respect each other. We share opinions, different opinions. And because we love each other and we have a common goal of creating something wonderful for people to enjoy, the differences in our religion or politics or whatever, in my experience on a set, have not been a problem.”
Besides sharing bible quotes with her followers, Heaton also openly discusses how she’s pro-life.
“I don’t understand why pro-life people want to know if they are ‘welcome’ to join the democrat party,” the actress <a href="https://twitter.com/PatriciaHeaton/status/1227643710646566914" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared</a> on X in February 2020. “Why would any civilized person want to support a barbaric platform that champions abortion for any reason through all nine months funded by taxpayers?”
<h4>Shia LaBeouf</h4>

One of the newest Catholic converts in the Hollywood community is actor Shia LaBeouf, best known for getting his start on the Disney series “Even Stevens” and later moving into film roles, including the “Transformers” franchise.
Now the celeb is a practicing Catholic as well after receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation on New Year’s Eve 2023. And he may go even further than that.
His sponsor told Catholic News Agency that the 37-year-old star is also considering becoming a deacon in the future. LaBoeuf credited being cast in the film “Padre Pio” (2022) with influencing his decision to convert after going through turmoil and scandals, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/shia-labeoufs-conversion-to-catholicism-becomes-official-confirmation-sponsor-says-he-may-take-it-further" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
LaBeouf said he was “never an atheist,” but was previously agnostic. The actor further explained how the role in “Pio” saved his life.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/patricia-heaton-slams-people-defending-hamas-following-terrorist-attacks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Actress Patricia Heaton</a> reacted to the Irish Women&#8217;s basketball team being trounced by the Israeli team following the Ireland players&#8217; &#8220;overt anti-Semitism&#8221; at the game.
In an <a href="https://x.com/PatriciaHeaton/status/1755803244494770589?s=20">X</a> post on Thursday, the 65-year-old actress said the &#8220;Irish women&#8217;s basketball team got a good whoopin&#8217; after displaying overt anti-Semitism toward the Israeli team.&#8221;
&#8220;They should have been forced to forfeit the game for their behavior, but that beat down was even better,&#8221; she added.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

— Patricia Heaton (@PatriciaHeaton) <a href="https://twitter.com/PatriciaHeaton/status/1755803244494770589?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 9, 2024</a></blockquote>
It came after the Irish women&#8217;s basketball team refused to shake hands before and after the game with the Israeli players on Thursday at the 2025 Women&#8217;s European Championship qualifier in Riga, Latvia, where Israel trounced Ireland 87 to 57, the <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/basketball/2024/02/08/ireland-refuse-shake-hands-israel-anti-semitism-row/">Telegraph</a> noted.
Ireland Basketball previously issued a <a href="https://ireland.basketball/-basketball-ireland-statement-regarding-upcoming-fiba-women-s-eurobasket-qualifier-with-israel">statement</a> in January about how it might not play against the Israeli team when it said it had &#8220;raised strong concerns about these fixtures with Israel, including the option not to play the games&#8221; following the response to the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel that left at least 1,200 Israelis dead.
The game was initially to be played in Israel in November, but was moved to February amid the war in Gaza. 
Two days before the match, Ireland&#8217;s team issued a statement blasting Israeli basketball player <a href="https://www.reuters.com/sports/basketball/ireland-refuse-handshake-with-israel-after-anti-semitism-allegation-2024-02-08/">Dor Sa&#8217;ar </a>who called the team &#8220;quite anti-Semitic.&#8221;

&#8220;It&#8217;s known that they are quite anti-Semitic and it&#8217;s no secret, and maybe that&#8217;s why a strong game is expected,&#8221; Sa&#8217;ar said. &#8220;We have to show that we&#8217;re better than them and win. We talk about it among ourselves. We know they don&#8217;t like us and we will leave everything on the field always and in this game.&#8221;
Before tip-off on Thursday, Basketball Ireland issued a statement that read, &#8220;Basketball Ireland informed Fiba Europe yesterday that as a direct result of recent comments made by Israeli players and coaching staff – including inflammatory and wholly inaccurate accusations of anti-Semitism, published on official Israeli federation channels – that our players will not be partaking in traditional pre-match arrangements with our upcoming opponents,&#8221; the outlet noted.
&#8220;This includes exchanging of gifts, formal handshakes before or after the game, while our players will line up for the Irish national anthem by our bench, rather than [center] court,&#8221; the statement added. &#8220;Basketball Ireland fully supports our players in their decision.&#8221;
Following Ireland&#8217;s team&#8217;s actions at the game, the team&#8217;s head coach James Weldon <a href="https://ireland.basketball/20240208185355-weldon-hails-incredible-maturity-of-players-as-ireland-lose-87-57-to-israel">said</a>, &#8220;I would prefer to be talking about basketball and not this, we didn&#8217;t engage in the pre-match activities as a direct result of those unwarranted and unacceptable comments from the Israeli camp about our players.&#8221;
&#8220;It was hugely disappointing, we came here for a game of basketball, we wanted to win, but didn&#8217;t come out on the right side of the result on this occasion,&#8221; Weldon added. &#8220;We had three international debutants in this game, we&#8217;re building a squad, so there&#8217;s positives to take from this game.&#8221;
After the Israel team&#8217;s victory, Israeli head coach <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/09/sport/irish-womens-basketball-israeli-handshake-spt-intl/index.html">Sharon Drucker</a> said, &#8220;I&#8217;ve been in sports for many years, I&#8217;ve never seen such things in my life.&#8221;
&#8220;There was no game where you don&#8217;t give concessions, shake hands, congratulate each other,&#8221; Drucker added. &#8220;They took a step in an absolute way and they received their punishment today.&#8221;

The 65-year-old actress, who has been outspoken in her support for Israel following the terrorist attack on October 7 that left at least 1,200 Israelis dead, wrote on <a href="https://x.com/PatriciaHeaton/status/1755377574371328079?s=20">X,</a> &#8220;I wish our government would do this for the American hostages…&#8221;
Her post included a video from a portion of the ceremony that took place at the Les Invalides memorial complex in Paris on Wednesday &#8220;in memory of the 42 French nationals&#8221; who were murdered.

In the clip, a violin and piano played in the background as the camera panned to photographs of the citizens who were killed in the attack. Loved ones of the victims were also in attendance.
During the ceremony, French President Emmanuel Macron spoke about the attack, calling it the &#8220;biggest antisemitic massacre of our century,&#8221; <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/macron-hosts-memorial-for-oct-7-the-biggest-antisemitic-massacre-of-our-century/">Times of Israel</a> noted.
He labeled the attack, &#8220;barbarism… which is fed by antisemitism and propagates it.&#8221;
The French president also vowed that France would work &#8220;every day&#8221; for the release of the remaining French hostages and said, &#8220;Their empty chairs are there.&#8221;
&#8220;Nothing can justify or excuse terrorism,&#8221; he added. &#8220;All lives are equal, are invaluable in the eyes of France.&#8221;

The post came after someone wrote to her, &#8220;Are you ok with the call to 1.2 M ppl to &#8216;evacuate&#8217; in 24 hrs or they will be bombed? When they have no water, power, food, cars, fuel, homes, roads to go anywhere? How did &#8216;just defending itself&#8217; become carpet bombing &amp; blockading supplies to a ppl? Be a better Catholic, pls.&#8221;
Another person wrote, &#8220;And what do the illegal settlers in Israel teach their children? It ok to kick people out of their homes so we can live here? What example is the Israeli right wing govt setting? What other example would you like to see of genocide? Isn&#8217;t this enough for you?&#8221;

Superstar Patricia Heaton revealed that she set a person goal to read the entire Bible in just one year and shared that while it wasn&#8217;t always easy, she did in fact finish on Sunday.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/patricia-heaton">64-year-old</a> actress shared a video on <a href="https://twitter.com/PatriciaHeaton/status/1604512980774707201?s=20&amp;t=m09K-TPgXwyAEmkEvzoxSg">Twitter</a> with her hundreds of thousands of followers that detailed what she called &#8220;a year in the making&#8221; as she reflected on the plan that worked best for her to &#8220;read the Bible all the way through.&#8221;
&#8220;A year ago today [Dec. 19] I decided I would finally, for the first time in my life, read the Bible all the way through,&#8221; Heaton shared as she explained she got the plan from the gospel coalition. &#8220;And I finished it today. I can&#8217;t believe it.&#8221;

&#8220;You know somedays were just revelatory,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I saw things I&#8217;d never seen before. And somedays were kind of a slog. You know, just going through it and pushing through and just feeling like &#8216;I don&#8217;t even know what any of this is about.&#8217; Mostly, Old Testament stuff.&#8221;
The &#8220;Everybody Loves Raymond&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/actress-slams-disney-for-replacing-tim-allen-with-chris-evans-in-lightyear-asks-why-they-would-completely-castrate-this-iconic-character">star</a> said that even though she didn&#8217;t understand some of it, she didn&#8217;t let that stop her from accomplishing this year goal.
At one point, &#8220;The Middle&#8221; star talked about how she went through and noted all the &#8220;names for God in the Bible&#8221; as she shared things she wrote down like that he&#8217;s a &#8220;provider,&#8221; &#8220;healer, &#8220;a shepherd,&#8221; &#8220;righteousness,&#8221; &#8220;the beginning,&#8221; &#8220;the end&#8221; and so much more.
&#8220;It&#8217;s a great way to start your day,&#8221; Heaton explained. &#8220;There were times that I didn&#8217;t do it for a few days and then I had to do a big catch up. But it was always the best to just plow through everyday. Set that time aside and set some time aside to meditate on it and pray.&#8221;
And now that she&#8217;s done, the actress revealed that she was going to wait until January 1st and do it all over again. But she said this time maybe with a new plan. She closed out her video by stating &#8220;I highly recommend it.&#8221;

Superstar Patricia Heaton had an incredible message for those Christians who might be feeling &#8220;disappointed or despairing&#8221; following the election results of the 2022 midterms in which a Republican red wave did not manifest.
In a lengthy thread from the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/patricia-heaton" target="_blank" rel="noopener">64-year-old</a> conservative actress, Heaton <a href="https://twitter.com/PatriciaHeaton/status/1590373618311368705?s=20&amp;t=Mp0L8iF7N3R7yGhmRD53sA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a> to her hundreds of thousands of followers that the results were a reminder that &#8220;our security does not rest in men or governments&#8221; but in God.
&#8220;For those of you who are Christians and who feel disappointed or despairing of the election results, it is a blessing to be reminded that our security does not rest in men or governments, which are finite and will eventually crumble, but in God alone who is ever sustaining,&#8221; the &#8220;Everybody Loves Raymond&#8221; star&#8217;s post read.

Actress Patricia Heaton Has Incredible Message For Christians After Tuesday’s ‘Despairing’ ‘Election Results’

Actress Patricia Heaton Has Incredible Message For Christians After Tuesday's 'Despairing' 'Election Results'

2022 Midterms

Christians

Politics

Patricia Heaton is an outspoken conservative Christian and a successful Hollywood actress, proving those two identities are not mutually exclusive. Heaton stands out from the crowd precisely because her position is so unique in the entertainment industry.
Anyone who watches movies and television knows that Hollywood is overwhelmingly liberal. Conservatives may exist in the ranks, but they either keep silent about their views or they’re relegated to small parts in indie projects. Heaton is an exception to this rule as she built a decades-long career, most notably starring as Debra Barone on the hit CBS comedy “Everybody Loves Raymond” opposite Ray Romano from 1996 &#8211; 2005.
It was a career-making gig that led to other opportunities and arguably made Heaton a household name.
The 64-year-old actress did not become a television star by hiding her political views. Though Heaton does reject some core beliefs of diehard conservatives — like her stance on LGBT issues — the mom of four boys is explicitly pro-life and anti-death penalty. She grew up Catholic and frequently tweets out bible quotes to her close to half a million followers. Fans love her because she’s down to earth and relatable, and isn’t afraid to express her controversial views among her A-list peers. 
Most recently, the former star of “The Middle” made headlines for lambasting the new Disney movie, “Lightyear.” Heaton spoke out about how fellow conservative Tim Allen, who voiced Buzz in the franchise originally, was replaced by Chris Evans.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Saw the trailer for Buzz Lightyear and all I can say is Disney/Pixar made a HUGE mistake in not casting my pal <a href="https://twitter.com/ofctimallen?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ofctimallen</a> Tim Allen in the role that he originated, the role that he owns. Tim IS Buzz! Why would they completely castrate this iconic, beloved character?
&mdash; Patricia Heaton (@PatriciaHeaton) <a href="https://twitter.com/PatriciaHeaton/status/1536737444804034561?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 14, 2022</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
“Saw the trailer for Buzz Lightyear and all I can say is Disney/Pixar made a HUGE mistake in not casting my pal @ofctimallen,” she <a href="https://twitter.com/PatriciaHeaton/status/1536737444804034561">shared</a> on Twitter. “Tim Allen in the role that he originated, the role that he owns. Tim IS Buzz! Why would they completely castrate this iconic, beloved character?”
“Ok so the current Buzz Lightyear movie is an origin story &#8211; but the reason the character became so beloved is because of what @ofctimallen created. Why remove the one element that makes us want to see it? #stupidHollywooddecisions” Heaton continued in a follow-up.
It seems that Heaton isn’t the only one less than thrilled with the replacement. “Lightyear” was a veritable <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gay-kiss-included-woke-toy-story-spinoff-lightyear-struggles-at-box-office">box office disappointment</a> despite the hype, which could also have had something to do with Disney adding in a same-sex kiss that was originally cut. The company did it as a form of protest against Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Bill, but doing so politicized the movie which could have turned parents off.
As so many actresses are openly advocating for abortion following the reversal of Roe v. Wade, Heaton stands out as a vocal pro-life advocate.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
I don’t understand why pro-life people want to know if they are “welcome” to join the democrat party. Why would any civilized person want to support a barbaric platform that champions abortion for any reason through all nine months funded by taxpayers?

“I don’t understand why pro-life people want to know if they are ‘welcome’ to join the democrat party,” the actress <a href="https://twitter.com/PatriciaHeaton/status/1227643710646566914">shared</a> on Twitter in February 2020. “Why would any civilized person want to support a barbaric platform that champions abortion for any reason through all nine months funded by taxpayers?”
“P.S. I didn’t vote in the last presidential cycle and will not be voting in this one. I am not a Trump supporter,” she continued. “Love them both.”
Heaton has tweeted detailing her pro-life stance. Critics came after her for it, but the sitcom star stayed strong.
Twitter is Heaton’s preferred method of voicing her opinions with followers. In September of 2020, the actress had a message of caution for her followers ahead of Amy Coney Barrett being appointed to the Supreme Court.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Friends, be prepared for social media to be filled with an onslaught of arrogant pronouncements based on breathtaking ignorance of religion in general, Christianity specifically and Catholicism in particularly by people who wouldn’t recognize God if He bit them on the bum.
&mdash; Patricia Heaton (@PatriciaHeaton) <a href="https://twitter.com/PatriciaHeaton/status/1307847773581193218?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 21, 2020</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
“Friends, be prepared for social media to be filled with an onslaught of arrogant pronouncements based on breathtaking ignorance of religion in general, Christianity specifically and Catholicism in particularly by people who wouldn’t recognize God if He bit them on the bum,” she <a href="https://twitter.com/PatriciaHeaton/status/1307847773581193218">wrote</a>.
Critics feared that having Coney Barrett on the court with a conservative majority would lead to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, a prediction which eventually came true in June 2022. 
Heaton’s pro-life views extend beyond abortion. In 2006, she publicly opposed a constitutional amendment in Missouri that permitted the harvesting of stem cells from donated eggs and aborted babies.
The actress agreed to participate in a fundraising video which opposed the amendment.
&#8220;Amendment 2 actually makes it a constitutional right for fertility clinics to pay women for eggs. Low-income women will be seduced by big checks, and extracting donor eggs is an extremely complicated, dangerous and painful procedure,&#8221; she said during the 12-second spot. It was yet another example of personal convictions getting publicized.
But the video was received badly, and played back-to-back with an ad featuring Michael J. Fox supporting the same amendment. Both commercials were broadcast during Game 4 of the World Series in 2006.
&#8220;Oh my God, it was a disaster,&#8221; Heaton admitted during a New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/31/theater/not-everybody-loves-patricia.html">interview</a> following the incident. &#8220;Not only was the ad so bad, but why was it put on? It took the focus off of what we&#8217;re talking about, which is very serious, and made it look like a feud or something, a Hollywood tabloid subject, a media thing of pitting people against each other.&#8221;
It may seem like the three-time Emmy Award winner goes looking for trouble. However, Heaton historically only voices her opinion on some topics. She had a rational message for her fans following the events on January 6, 2021.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
If you’re a common sense person, you probably don’t feel you have a home in this world right now. If you’re a Christian, you know you were never meant to.
&mdash; Patricia Heaton (@PatriciaHeaton) <a href="https://twitter.com/PatriciaHeaton/status/1347594164045692930?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 8, 2021</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&#8220;If you’re a common sense person, you probably don’t feel you have a home in this world right now,&#8221; she <a href="https://twitter.com/PatriciaHeaton/status/1347594164045692930">shared</a> two days later, &#8220;If you’re a Christian, you know you were never meant to.&#8221;
“Respectfully, this world is only temporary. I love many things here too, and yes, we are called to love our neighbor and be good stewards. But this ain’t it,&#8221; the actress continued in a follow up. &#8220;We are meant to serve Christ while we are here.&#8221;It’s a refreshing take in an industry that is rife with rampant narcissism and materialistic goals.
Another reason fans love Heaton is her candid take on plastic surgery, which she freely admits to having done.
“I think there’s good plastic surgery and bad plastic surgery,” the “Everybody Loves Raymond” star told <a href="https://people.com/tv/cosmetic-surgery-made-patricia-heaton-feel-more-confident/">People</a> in 2018. “I had four C-sections. I gained 50 lbs. with every kid and I’m 5’2″. Wasn’t pretty. It just does something to your body.”
“I was really in the prime of my career when that was all going on, so it just felt better and made me more confident to reconstruct my stomach, take care of all that stuff,” she continued.
“I also love beauty products and I love fillers and Botox, if you do it so that you still look like yourself, you just look like your best self,” Heaton said.
But she grants there should be limits when it comes to how much you get done. “We’ve all seen people who have gone way over the top with that stuff. Obviously, that’s not what you want to look like. I think in our industry in particular, any actress who has had too much work done stops working because you start looking kind of strange, and the camera really picks up stuff,” she explained.
As a Christ-loving, pro-life, self-deprecating Hollywood actress, Heaton stands out among the entertainment crowd in the best possible way. She’s managed to build a respectable career without compromising her values, which is something any up-and-coming conservative actor should aspire to.

Actress Patricia Heaton slammed Disney/Pixar for replacing Tim Allen with Chris Evans as the voice of Buzz Lightyear in the new film &#8220;Lightyear,&#8221; and asked why they would &#8220;completely castrate this iconic, beloved character.&#8221;
The 64-year-old TV actress took to Twitter Tuesday after she said she caught a glimpse of the trailer of the new animated film based on the iconic spaceman made popular by Allen in the &#8220;Toy Story&#8221; franchise, who she said &#8220;owns&#8221; the role.

The animated children&#8217;s Disney/Pixar movie has reportedly been banned in several Middle-Eastern countries such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for its same-sex kiss, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/disney-pixars-lightyear-banned-in-saudi-arabia-over-same-sex-kiss-report">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported.
The children&#8217;s movie was banned by the UAE Media Regulatory Office &#8220;due to its violation of the country&#8217;s media content standards,&#8221; according to a <a href="https://twitter.com/UAE_Forsan/status/1536272169260285952?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1536272169260285952%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailywire.com%2Fnews%2Fdisney-pixars-lightyear-banned-in-saudi-arabia-over-same-sex-kiss-report">tweet</a> from media outlet UAE Forsan. The piece noted that the post didn&#8217;t specify exactly which standard had been violated, but industry insiders speculate it&#8217;s because of the kiss between two female characters.
The scene was reportedly initially cut from the movie, but was reinstated after the Disney controversy over Florida&#8217;s Parental Rights in Education bill, which some critics dubbed the &#8220;Don’t Say Gay&#8221; bill, <a href="https://variety.com/2022/film/news/pixar-lightyear-same-sex-kiss-1235209179/">Variety</a> reported at the time.
Variety further notes that one of the characters is reportedly a significant female role by the name of Hawthorne (voiced by Uzo Aduba). The romantic relationship between the two female animated characters was never hidden, but a kiss between them had reportedly been cut from the movie.
However, none of the sources Variety spoke to about the alleged cutting of these kinds of scenes in Pixar films could provide &#8220;first-hand knowledge of Disney executives directly&#8221; eliminating the LGBTQ scenes. The outlet noted that it was more an example of self-censorship by Pixar.
&#8220;Lightyear&#8221; hits theaters June 17.

As the nation heals from the horrible violence that unfolded on Capitol Hill last week, actress Patricia Heaton has given voice to the &#8220;common sense&#8221; Americans who feel alone in a sea of divisive rhetoric.
In a tweet on Friday, the former &#8220;Everybody Loves Raymond&#8221; star reminded everyone, especially Christians, that the world was never meant to be their final home.
&#8220;If you’re a common sense person, you probably don’t feel you have a home in this world right now,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/PatriciaHeaton/status/1347594164045692930" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">she wrote</a>. &#8220;If you’re a Christian, you know you were never meant to.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

One follower stridently disagreed with Heaton&#8217;s stance.
&#8220;The world is our home. It is a wonderful creation that God said is GOOD. We are created beings and will be resurrected as created beings &#8211; like Jesus. It might not be your home, but it sure is mine and I love it and will do all I can to care for it,&#8221; said the follower.
&#8220;Respectfully, this world is only temporary. I love many things here too, and yes, we are called to love our neighbor and be good stewards. But this ain’t it,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/PatriciaHeaton/status/1348022906387800064" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Heaton responded. </a>
&#8220;We are meant to serve Christ while we are here,&#8221; she later added.

Heaton has been a stalwart pro-life advocate. In February of last year, she denounced the Democratic Party for hosting a “barbaric” platform.
“I don’t understand why pro-life people want to know if they are ‘welcome’ to join the democrat party,” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/actress-patricia-heaton-rips-democratic-party-and-its-barbaric-abortion-platform">said Heaton</a>. “Why would any civilized person want to support a barbaric platform that champions abortion for any reason through all nine months funded by taxpayers?”
“P.S. I didn’t vote in the last presidential cycle and will not be voting in this one. I am not a Trump supporter,” she added.
In late 2020, as the Republicans pushed the nomination of Justice Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, Heaton warned Christians, especially Catholics, to be prepared for a high-level of religious “ignorance.”
“Friends, be prepared for social media to be filled with an onslaught of arrogant pronouncements based on breathtaking ignorance of religion in general, Christianity specifically and Catholicism in particularly by people who wouldn’t recognize God if He bit them on the bum,” <a href="https://twitter.com/PatriciaHeaton/status/1307847773581193218" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">she tweeted</a>.
Since the riot last Wednesday, tensions have remained. In a video posted on Sunday, former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger likened the rioters to Nazis.
“I’m very aware of Kristallnacht, or the Night of Broken Glass,” Schwarzenegger said. “It was a night of rampage against the Jews carried out in 1938 by the Nazi equivalent of the Proud Boys. Wednesday was the Day of Broken Glass right here in the United States.”
“They did not just break down the doors of the building that housed American democracy,” he later added. “They trampled the very principles on which our country was founded.”
