Disgraced actor Cuba Gooding Jr. is looking to Jesus Christ to get him back in Hollywood’s good graces after years of scandal that left Cuba’s career in tatters, Media Take Out has learned.
Cuba has the reputation of drunken inappropriateness among women, and possibly men. He was accused of s**ually assaulting multiple women. And most recently, Cuba was implicated in Diddy’s alleged cross country s** trafficking, involving both men and women.
But Cuba’s looking for a comeback, and Gooding is co-starring in “The Firing Squad,” a Christian film based on a true story about prisoners who find Christ as they await execution in an Indonesian prison.
Cuba hosted a private screening of the film at Grey/Ven CEO Scott Weissman’s East Hampton estate.
According to Page Six, Cuba told the wealthy Hamptonites, “I thought you were going to have fried chicken and hot dogs, but you got like real rich-people food.”
Cuba’s longtime girlfriend Claudine De Niro was with him.
Page Six added this:
[social_warfare]Sources told Page Six that Gooding is focusing on work again after facing several sexual assault accusations, including pleading guilty to forcibly touching a woman. He made the rounds in New York last week, including a stop at “Extra,” where he opened up about his fall from grace. He told the outlet his Christian faith has helped him get through the dark times.
