55-year-old actress, Michelle Pfeiffer, just admitted in an interview with The Sunday Telegraph that she once belonged to a cult!
The newspaper reports that Michelle said it happened when she was 20 and she had just moved to Hollywood. She met a husband and wife who believed that people could live on air. That's right. Air. No food. Just air. Well, almost. The couple did permit the eating of the occasional vegetable. How sweet of them. They called their little cult, Breatharianism.
"They worked with weights and put people on diets," she recalls. "Their thing was vegetarianism. They were very controlling. I wasn't living with them but I was there a lot and they were always telling me I needed to come more. I had to pay for all the time I was there so it was financially very draining."
Michelle finally realized that she was in a cult when she met her first husband, the actor Peter Horton, who was working on movie about cults.
"I was in one," she said.
The news might surprise you but many young impressionable actors and actresses are easily influenced when first arriving in Hollywood and get mixed up with all kinds of crazy things. Yes, even Scientology.
It's always in the quest to belong...
