Pat Boone: ‘The Lord Is Using Every Last Ounce of Me for His Purposes’
By Movieguide® Staff
Hollywood legend Pat Boone recently discussed several upcoming projects, his recent book IF, and his recent hit movie, THE MULLIGAN.
At the age of 88, Boone said he is excited to use his final years for the glory of God.
“I’m just asking God to use every minute, and every ounce of energy I have, in this last part of my life,” Boone said of his accomplishments, old and new, on a recent episode of the Strang Report.
THE MULLIGAN is a recent faith-filled movie that emphasizes family through the lens of golf.
Movieguide®’s founder Dr. Ted Baehr recently sat down with Boone to discuss his focus on family-friendly projects.
Movieguide® previously reported:
Boone, a previous Movieguide® Award winner, is best known for his appearances in classic movies like 1959’s JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH and STATE FAIR. The singer also earned credits for his work on famous movie soundtracks like 2006’s SUPERMAN RETURNS.
“I’ve never made a movie that wasn’t G-rated,” Boone told Dr. Baehr. “They’ve been very successful. I know that G-rated films have a bigger potential audience, usually, which you’ve proven to me and to the industry, then all these X-rated, evil things that often cost millions and millions of dollars and they flop.”
“Meanwhile, G-rated films have a better chance, as I know, and you’ve proven of being seen by a lot of people and doing people good and preserving what I know is the reason that the movie industry in America was our greatest export,” he continued. “We exported to the world, a vision of America, that the rest of the world bought into back when all of our movies had happy endings. The good guys won, and the bad guys were punished. Pictures of American life were the envy of the world.”
Boone concluded with a message of hope to filmmakers today.
“We can still tell good stories about good things that people can do,” he said. “And give hope, and a sense of well-being about a future that we can still have, if we will seek that light. If we will bathe ourselves in that light now.”
Aside from his work on the big screen, the award-winning singer and composer also said that he plans to release a new song called Yahushua.
“I wrote all this in this song Yahushua, and we’ve done a video now, and it’s going to be coming out,” Boone said. “I’m trying to relate to you the myriad of things that God is giving me to do in these last hours, these last days or months. I’m feeling good, I’m healthy, I can still play golf, even with the arm that was hurt recently in an accident. I’m still going, but the Lord is using every last ounce of me for his purposes, which was always my goal.”
