Lisa, now 60, thankfully felt supported and hear by the writers and creators of the show, explaining, “I’m sure there were some parts that I wasn’t offered, but that’s OK. I don’t feel like I had any backlash because of it.”
This was not the only time the actress made a choice between fame and faith. She famously turned down the role of Rachel on “Friends,” feeling it would deal too often with sexual topics.
“I don’t regret not taking that opportunity. My kids, on the other hand… I remember my daughter once said, ‘Are you telling me that [Jennifer Aniston’s ex] Brad Pitt could have been my father?”
The star also has been friends with many other like-minded stars, including late “Happy Days” star Erin Moran.
Moran even claimed that Whelchel is the one to have helped her find Jesus Christ after the two met for the NBC made-for-T.V. movie “Twirl”.
Lisa herself found God by chance when she was just 10. Dressed in their only nice dresses, she and a friend decided to go somewhere fun in their special clothes. They wound up at a neighborhood church.
Whelchel realized that she could get free donuts and orange juice every week if she attended Sunday school. Over time, of course, it became more than that.
“Every time I walked through those church doors, it felt like my heart had found its home.”
It’s clear that the actresses’s faith has led her on the right path throughout her career and family life. In addition to her fulfilling marriage with Pete, Lisa finds immense joy in her children and three grandchildren.
According to her, they hold the utmost importance in her life, reflecting the deep love and significance she places on her role as a parent. She frequently shares adorable moments of her grandchildren on Instagram, showcasing her immense pride in them and the deep affection she holds for them.
”Just to know your children are solid, have good hearts, and have found spouses who are amazing people who love them — there is no greater joy,” she says.
We are certainly impressed that she was able to be so forthright in her faith at so young an age.
“Doesn’t Look Like Keanu,” People Are Concerned About the Latest Photos of Keanu Reeves
Keanu Reeves is accelerating his journey in the world of professional motorsport, recently participating in a racing series for hobbyists at the iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway. While fans were excited to see him embrace this new passion, many expressed concerns for his safety amid the high-speed competition.
The 60-year-old actor competed in the Toyota GR Cup over the weekend. Among 33 competitors, Reeves secured 25th position in Race 1 on Saturday and improved to 24th in Race 2 on Sunday.
Reeves raced in the No. 92 BRZRKR vehicle, a nod to his graphic novel “The Book of Elsewhere,” co-written with China Miéville. Released in July, the novel is a continuation of Reeves’ BRZRKR comic book series, which began in 2021.
During Saturday’s race, Reeves spun into the grass just past the halfway mark of the 45-minute event. Despite the mishap, he avoided any crashes and remained unharmed, rejoining the race shortly after.
Worried fans swiftly took to social media, expressing their reactions after witnessing the incident during the actor’s race. One fan emotionally remarked, ’’Hope he is OK,’’ while another person emphatically urged, ’’PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.’’ A third worriedly added, ’’Don’t get hurt!’’
Some fans noted that Reeves doesn’t look quite like he usually does, “This doesn’t look like Keanu Reeves?” However, he’s probably just tired, as racing is quite an exhausting sport. On the other hand, most people were generous with their praise. One wrote, “I’m proud of him. He’s doing what loves and enjoys doing. Live life to your fullest. Great job Keenu!” Another added, “I think it’s really cool that he’s interested in so many different things and puts himself out there and TRIED! More than most people can say, plus, we all have our off days. Keep on keepin’ on, Mr. Reeves!” It’s no wonder they say that Keanu Reeves has no haters.
