Regina Hall has considered becoming a nun “several times” in her life.
The 54-year-old actress attended a Catholic school and she seriously thought about becoming a nun before she became a Hollywood star.
During an appearance on the Good Hang podcast, Regina shared: “I went to Catholic school, and so we had the nuns, who I loved. I loved my nuns.”
The movie star always found nuns to be “loving” and she considered following in their footsteps.
Regina explained: “I did [consider becoming a nun]. I did several times when I was in high school. And then again, when I was older, and I was too old.”
The actress considered becoming a nun at 41, two years after the cutoff point.
She explained: “With some orders it’s a sleeping partner number thing \u2014 four … Some [orders, it] could be a certain amount of partners, some might be how many attachments that you have [had]. Some you know, in the world \u2014 it’s hard \u2014 and some is age.”
Regina previously considered pursuing a career in journalism, describing the industry as “interesting”.
The actress told the Today show in 2022: “I was in school and I read a book, it\u2019s called \u2018Democracy in America.’ Now, that book really resonated with me that if you do not have the press, if you do not have journalism – a free press – Hothen you cannot maintain democracy.”
However, Regina’s plans changed suddenly after her dad passed away and she needed to find a way of making money quickly.
The movie star said: “I had a friend who was like, \u2018If you need to earn some extra money, you could do commercials.\u2019 And that\u2019s how I was introduced to it.
“But my father\u2019s death, I was young. I was 23, so it was sobering and painful, but it sort of redirected my journey.”
Regina enjoyed her career breakthrough in The Best Man, the 1999 comedy drama film. However, she almost missed out on the role.
She said: “I had a move because one of the girls in my acting class used to be an exotic dancer and I said I need to learn a dance and she said, \u2018You don\u2019t have to know anything. You have to do this one move and that\u2019s it’. And I did that and they stopped the music. The producers said, \u2018Can you do anything else?\u2019 and I said, ‘yes’ and then I just got my clothes and said, ‘thank you’ and I left \u2026 because I was like, well, I\u2019m not gonna get it.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
