Chuck Norris, shown above with his wife Gena, is known for his tough guy roles is also a Christian who speaks up for the need for movies that are encouraging and uplifting.
“You know,” he said, “when you try to do it without God in your life -- which I tried for a lot of years in my film business and in the film world -- and even though I was successful, I was very unhappy. I had a huge hole in my heart and once I met my wife and reestablished my faith in God and things turned around for me and made ‘WALKER’ more successful and made my life a lot happier.”
Chuck Norris also spoke about how encouraged he is that so many family-friendly films are now on the market and were being honored by Movieguide® at their annual gala.
“I knew that if you got some good films up there that were faith-based, they would do well at the box office,” he said. “People are really hungry for that on television and in film. When FACING THE GIANTS came out, which was a low budget film that was made for a hundred-thousand dollars, it touched the hearts of a lot of people and it touched my heart. In fact, it’s one of my all time favorites.
We need films of hope,” he said. “We need films that show we can accomplish anything if we have God on our side.”
