LONDON 19th May. Kelsey Grammer was the star guest on This Morning today to tell the team how divine intervention led him to make his new true story movie JESUS REVOLUTION. 


Talking to Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary, Grammer explained how this role came to him. “I said a prayer to myself, I want to do something that matters, and the next day, the script came”. 


Grammer was in the UK for a family vacation and took time out of his schedule to speak about this passion project. Grammer remembers from his youth the famous 1971 Time Magazine front cover ‘Jesus Revolution’ chronicling the movement that swept a divided America. After speaking to Greg Laurie, played by Joel Courtney, he was convinced this was the right role for him. Both Hammond and O’Leary well up watching the trailer. 


JESUS REVOLUTION was released in the US earlier this year, grossing an extraordinary and unprecedented $51 million at box office. 


JESUS REVOLUTION will be in UK and Irish cinemas on June 23rd.
