Meanwhile Cuba is turning over a new leaf, staring in his first Christian film...
From Page Six
Cuba Gooding Jr. seems to be relying on Jesus Christ to get him back in Hollywood’s good graces after years of scandal that brought his flourishing movie career to a halt.
Once Tinseltown’s top leading man, Gooding is co-starring in “The Firing Squad,” a Christian film based on a true story about prisoners who find Christ as they await execution in an Indonesian prison.
Kevin Sorbo and newcomer James Barrington round out the cast.
Gooding hosted a private screening of the film at Grey/Ven CEO Scott Weissman’s East Hampton estate.
“People were crying,” one attendee claimed to Page Six.
Gooding gave a speech introducing the movie and quipped to Weissman, “I thought you were going to have fried chicken and hot dogs, but you got like real rich-people food.”
Sources told Page Six that Gooding is focusing on work again after facing several sexual assault accusations, including pleading guilty to forcibly touching a woman. He made the rounds in New York last week, including a stop at “Extra,” where he opened up about his fall from grace. He told the outlet his Christian faith has helped him get through the dark times.
