Actor-comedian Russell Brand has announced that he will be "taking the plunge" and getting baptised as it is an "opportunity to leave the past behind". The comedian and actor posted a video and said that he was cementing his Christian faith after a difficult year, which included facing serious sexual assault accusations, reports pagesix.com.
In the video announcement, Brand said: "This Sunday, I바카라m taking the plunge. I바카라m getting baptised."
"What바카라s been explained to me is, it바카라s an opportunity to die and be reborn. An opportunity to leave the past behind and be reborn in Christ바카라s name."
Referencing a verse from the Bible, he added: 바카라Like it says in Galatians, you can live as an enlightened and awakened person.바카라
The 'Rock of Ages' star said the prospect of baptism was "so inviting and beautiful."
"People are so cynical about the increasing interest in Christianity and the return to God, but to me, it바카라s obvious," he said.
바카라As meaning deteriorates in the modern world, as our value systems and institutions crumble, all of us become increasingly aware that there is this eerily familiar awakening and beckoning figure that we바카라ve all known all of our lives, within us and around us. And for me, it바카라s very exciting.바카라
The 48-year-old initially wanted to get baptised in the River Thames, but after discovering it had high levels of E. coli in it, he decided against it.
This new development comes months after the actor-comedian was accused of raping, sexually assaulting, and abusing four women for seven years.
Brand denied the allegations that first surfaced in September 2023.
He had said that he was 바카라very, very promiscuous바카라 in his past and that all sexual interactions he had at the time were 바카라absolutely always consensual.바카라
