Ethan Hawke said his great-grandmother believed he was destined to embrace priesthood but he was elated when she settled that his "calling" was acting.
The 47-year-old actor, who plays a priest who is having a crisis of confidence in his faith after his son dies in military service in his latest movie "First Reformed", got to live his grandma's wish on screen.
"My great grandmother felt certain that when I was born that I would receive the calling and that I would be a priest. I remember being very concerned about, 'What is this thing, the calling?' She was like, 'God will come to you and talk to you.' And I was like, 'OK, I don't want that to happen. When will it happen?' And she was like, 'Well it will be in silence.' So I thought, 'Right, I am avoiding silence at all costs!'
