<p dir="auto">Denzel Washington just got baptized and became a minister — and no, it wasn’t in preparation for a movie role.<br />
On Saturday, Dec. 21, the Gladiator II star, 69, was baptized at the Kelly Temple Church of God in Christ, located in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City. He also was presented with a minister license, which will allow him to be ordained in the future.<br />
During the ceremony, which was live streamed via Facebook by the First Jurisdiction Church of God in Christ Eastern New York, Denzel — who was casually dressed in a gray T-shirt and black sweat pants — opened up to the congregation about embracing his faith just days ahead of his milestone 70th birthday.<br />
"In one week I turn 70,” he said, according to Archbishop Christopher Bryant, per Page Six. “It took a while but I'm here."<br />
“If [God] can do this for me, there’s nothing He can’t do for you. The sky literally is the limit,” he added.<br />
