Ryan Phillippe was ‘craving’ relationship with God after being in ‘darker place’
Ryan Phillippe opened up about “craving” a relationship with God after embarking on a “spiritual journey” following the filming of his latest movie.
In the new action thriller “Prey,” the 49-year-old actor played a Christian missionary who has a crisis of faith when he finds himself in mortal danger.
During his interview with Fox News Digital, Phillippe, who was raised in a religious household, shared that his own faith is “incredibly” important to him.
He continued, “I have a firm and fervent belief in God and that things happen for a reason and that we should put positive energies out into the world and treat people with respect and spread as much love and light as we can to offset the darkness that we see around us everywhere.”
“I spent a lot of time in prayer and studying things of that nature I find very fulfilling,” Phillippe added. “I feel like it’s the most important thing that you could spend your time thinking about or learning about or trying to understand. So it’s become a very, very important part of my life.”
Phillippe told Fox News Digital that he became more committed to his faith and his relationship with God after production wrapped on “Prey.”
“It’s interesting because I was kind of in a darker place when we filmed this, and it was right after filming it where I went on this spiritual journey where I started going really deep inside,” he recalled.
“I got back into reading the Bible and various other religious tomes, but I found myself drawn to this notion of spirituality,” Phillippe continued. “You get to a point in life, a certain age, and the things that you thought would bring you pleasure or make you feel satisfied – these would be success or money – and it doesn’t. It doesn’t.”
“And so you look for more,” he said. “And I’m so thankful for what I’ve been given and for the experiences that I’ve had and for my children and everything else. But I wanted to have a relationship and understanding with God, and I was craving that.”
“And I’ve got to tell you, since I started that journey, I have not been more at peace. My depression is gone,” Phillippe added. “I shedded addictions so I’m a big proponent for people going inward and trying to understand those aspects of life.”

‘Prey’ Official Trailer
Vertical has released a new trailer for the upcoming thriller Prey, starring Ryan Phillippe and Mena Suvari.
Prey is written and directed by Mukunda Michael Dweli, and stars Phillippe, Emile Hirsch, Dylan Flashner, Tristan Thompson, Michaela Sasner, Jeremy Tardy and Suvari. The film tells the story of a young Christian missionary couple who are on a plane that crashes in the middle of an animal preserve, filled with dangerous animals.
“After an extremist militant group threatens their lives, a young couple is forced to flee their Christian missionary post in the Kalahari Desert,” reads the film’s official synopsis. “After being granted passage aboard a rickety plane, piloted by a corrupt smuggler, their escape to safety is nearly in reach. But when their aircraft loses power and crash lands, they discover a bigger threat awaits them as they find themselves stranded in the middle of an animal preserve populated by maneaters — lions, leopards, and hyenas. Injured, frightened, and being tracked by the extremists, this ragtag group of passengers must fight for survival from both man and beast where only the strong will survive.”
‘Prey’ is set to premiere in theaters and on-demand on March 15, 2024.

‘Motorheads’ Starring Ryan Phillippe Ordered to Series at Prime Video
“Motorheads,” a coming-of-age ensemble drama from John A. Norris (“All American”) and Jason Seagraves (“Hacksaw Ridge”), has been ordered to series by Amazon’s Prime Video.
The show follows a group of outsiders in a once-thriving rust belt town who form an unlikely friendship over a mutual love of automobiles. While some characters navigate the hierarchy and rules of high school, others are racing from a dark past.
“’Motorheads’ is a gripping story, anchored around the series of ‘firsts’ that accompany young adulthood,” Lauren Anderson, Amazon MGM Studios’ head of AVOD originals, unscripted and targeted programming, said in a statement. “We have an incredible group of actors bringing John’s (out)cast of characters to life and we are excited to share this wistful, nostalgic journey with our global, Prime Video customers.”
Ryan Phillippe (“Shooter”) has been cast as Logan, a former NASCAR mechanic who now owns his own auto body shop in his hometown of Ironwood, Pennsylvania. Logan is having trouble keeping his shop afloat, and lives in the shadow of infamous brother, Christian Maddox.
