Comedian-actor Zach Galifianakis talks about faithActor and comedian, Zach Galifianakis, is a funny guy. But he also has a serious spiritual side, a Christian magazine points out in a recent profile. Galifianakis is the plump, bearded comedian who gained national attention for his oddball character in the comedy film, “The Hangover.” His latest film, “Due Date,” opened last week. But Galifianakis is also an accomplished pianist, the owner of a farm in North Carolina, and a fan of Eckhart Tolle, author of “The Power of Now,” Jessica Misener of Relevant magazine notes. For the rapper, a new life, a new messageLecrae Moore moved around a lot as a child. He was constantly the new kid in school. It’s often a struggle to fit in when you always have to make new friends but Lecrae had a gift. He could rap. Street battles were no problem. Breaking into some freestyle for his classmates was a piece of cake. But walking a straight line was difficult. Moore had a tough childhood. He grew up without a father. His male role models were rap artists like Tupac. “My world view at that point in time was what I saw on television,” he said recently on a visit to CNN Center. “I just [rapped] about what I esteemed to be, what I wanted to be like. Most of that was gangsterism, false sense of masculinity, money, women.” |
