Ryan Phillippe feels “at peace” after going on a “spiritual journey”.
The 49-year-old actor revealed that he has grown closer to God since filming his new action-thriller film Prey.
The Hollywood star, who was married to Reese Witherspoon from 1999 to 2007, told Fox News Digital: The journey where I started to really go deep.
“I started reading the Bible and various other religious texts again and found myself drawn to this concept of spirituality.
“When you reach a certain age in life, the things you thought would bring you joy and satisfaction, things like success and money, but they don't. They don't.
“So you ask for more. And I’m so grateful for what I’ve been given, what I’ve been through, my children and everything else, but I’m so grateful for my relationship with God and I wanted to have understanding, and I longed for that.”
Ryan believes that his spiritual journey actually helped him overcome depression and “addiction.”
The movie star has recently established a completely new outlook on life.
Ryan said: “Since I started my journey, I feel more at peace than ever before. My depression is gone. I have broken my addiction and I hope people turn inward and try to understand their addiction. I'm very supportive of that aspect of life. ”
