Hollywood is one of the most aggressively secular institutions in the country.
Religious beliefs are often frowned upon.
And Candace Cameron Bure revealed one big change about faith in Hollywood.
Fear of cancel culture is waning among the faithful in Hollywood
The entertainment industry is one of the most left-wing industries in the country.
And one that’s been hostile to people of faith.
Outspoken Christians can get pigeonholed into faith-based movies and TV by Hollywood.
Many actors choose to keep their faith to themselves for the benefit of their careers.
Actress Candace Cameron Bure and her brother Kirk Cameron became two of the most outspoken Christians in Hollywood.
Kirk Cameron eventually walked away from Hollywood after starring in the ABC sitcom Growing Pains to make faith-based TV shows and movies.
Bure told Fox News that people in Hollywood are becoming more open about their faith on the red carpet for the Movieguide Awards.
“I feel like people are just a little less afraid of being canceled now that they can share their faith openly or whatever their opinions are [even] if they’re not congruent with some other people’s opinions,” Bure said. “And, so, I love seeing this in our country, and I’m hopeful. I’m very hopeful.”
The Movieguide Awards are the Christian version of the Oscars, where the best in faith-based entertainment is honored.
Candace Cameron Bure left Los Angeles behind
Bure and her husband, former NHL star Valeri Bure, moved from Los Angeles to the country with their three kids.
Her family lived in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood that was devastated during the Los Angeles wildfires for over 30 years.
“It’s been so hard, and I have so many friends that lived in the Palisades that lost their homes. It’s going to be a journey. It’s going to be a long time for recovery,” Bure stated. “In the meantime, the community has come together, and we’re all doing what we can to help.”
The Full House actress is pitching in with recovery from the wildfires.
“Even though I’m not in Los Angeles right now, I’m filming a movie. I’m still in touch with everyone, still have a store that’s open to gather great items for our families that have lost everything,” Bure explained. “And we’re going to continue to do that. I think that’s the beauty about a community, and Los Angeles has really come together to help.”
Movie and TV productions have been leaving Los Angeles for the rest of the country and overseas because of the high cost of production.
Bure was hopeful that President Donald Trump’s special ambassadors to Hollywood – actors Mel Gibson, Sylvester Stallone, and Jon Voight – could bring some productions back to Los Angeles.
“I would love to see it come back,” Bure said. “However, totally open to all the other states that are currently creating revenue and having more entertainment come into them, I think that’s wonderful too. Love creating jobs.”
She no longer films most of her movies in Los Angeles.
“I’m eager to see it. I hope that they bring a lot of business back to Los Angeles and Hollywood because it’s been, unless you’re a huge, big budget show, it’s been very difficult to work here,” Bure explained.
“It’s honestly why I do the majority of my movies in Canada, because you get better tax breaks up there,” Bure continued. “So, I am hoping that we get to do a lot more back in the states, specifically in LA, because this is Hollywood, where it all started. Entertainment belongs here.”
