Patton opened up about her transformative role in Finding Faith, a new film that delves into pain, healing, and spiritual awakening.
Catching up with Paula Patton is always a pleasure. The last time we met was years ago when Robyn Thicke made the introduction and her glow hasn’t dimmed a bit. But this time, our conversation wasn’t just light-hearted—it was profound.
A Role That Mirrors Real Life
In Finding Faith, Patton plays a woman fighting through emotional darkness—and the parallels to her real-life journey are striking.
“I didn’t go through exactly what Faith did,” she shared, “but I’ve known pain. I’ve numbed it with alcohol. And when I stopped drinking seven years ago, I had to strip away everything—the career, the friends, the ego—and truly understand my worth.”
For Paula, this wasn’t just another role. It was personal.
The Healing Power of Performance
“This film was cathartic,” she explained. “There were moments where I had to revisit parts of myself that I thought I left behind. But doing that brought me healing.”
Her performance is more than acting—it’s a reflection of growth and self-restoration. She channels past struggles into every scene, offering authenticity that resonates on screen.
Mental Health in the Spotlight
We touched on a topic that’s becoming more urgent in the entertainment world: the mental toll of embodying heavy roles. Paula is all for having therapists on set.
“When you’re acting for 15 hours a day, it becomes more than just a job—it’s energy you carry with you,” she said. “Any support that helps artists stay grounded and emotionally healthy is essential.”
Her perspective brings attention to the importance of mental wellness in an industry that often demands emotional labor.
A Message of Hope and Redemption
Patton hopes Finding Faith connects deeply with viewers—especially those struggling with guilt, loss, or spiritual doubt.
“It shows that there’s a way through,” she said. “That God is always waiting. Prayer, faith, and grace can carry you through anything.”
It’s a film with heart, soul, and purpose—crafted not only to entertain but to heal.
An All-Star Cast with Depth and Chemistry
Paula also gave a heartfelt nod to her co-stars, including Demetrius Grosse and Stephen Bishop.
“Demetrius is incredible—so strong, grounded, and gentle. He acts from the gut,” she said. “And Stephen… well, audiences will see how his role unfolds. We had great chemistry across the board.”
