You've got to have faith if you are going to embrace Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism or something else.

Many stars receive a calling from God and have embraced a new religion, others have chosen to convert to a completely different one instead.

From Orlando Bloom who is a fully fledged Buddhist, to Snoop Dog who’s converted several times, find out which stars began practicing a new religion...

Julia Roberts

The Oscar winner became interested in Hinduism after filming ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ in India.

Speaking to ELLE in 2010, she said: "I'm definitely a practicing Hindu."

Roberts also revealed that her Christian family go with her to "chant and pray and celebrate".

Snoop Dog

The rapper has changed his religion several times.

Snoop, who was previously a Muslim, changed his name to Snoop Lion in 20212 after announcing he was converting to Rastafarianism.

After being accused of appropriating Rastafari culture by musician Bunny Wailer, Snoop Lion went back to being Snoop Dog in 2018 and called himself a “Born Again Christian”.

He went on to release an album titled “Bible of Love”.

Orlando Bloom

The ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ star started practicing Buddhism whilst he was studying for his exams as a student.

During an interview with the global Buddhist network, Sokka Gakkai International, Bloom recalled how he was first introduced to the spiritual philosophy by his best friend David.

He said: "It was one of those 'Aha' moments of 'Wow, this is meeting my mentor, meeting someone I've looked up to so much.'"

Isla Fisher

The ‘Now You See Me’ star - who was born to Scottish parents in Oman and moved to Australia at age of six - got married to Jewish comedian Sacha Baron Cohen in 2010.

Before tying the knot with the ‘Borat’ actor, Isla said she would do anything to marry him, including converting to Judaism in 2007.

She said: "I will definitely have a Jewish wedding just to be with Sacha.

"I would do anything - move into any religion - to be united in marriage with him. We have a future together, and religion comes second to love as far as we are concerned.

"I love the focus on family, food and laughter.

"You know, I didn't get to go to university because I've been acting since I was a kid. So, for me, studying theology was also fascinating. I love Judaism."

Karlie Kloss

The former Victoria’s Secret model wasn’t allowed to attend family gatherings at her boyfriend’s Josh Kushner’s home until she converted to Judaism.

She told Vogue during a 2019 interview about her decision to convert ahead of their wedding in 2018.

She said: "Changing part of who you are for someone else can be seen as weak, but you know what? Actually, if you've been through what I've experienced, it requires you to be anything but weak. It requires me to be stronger and self-loving and resilient. I really did not take this lightly.

"It wasn't enough to just love Josh and make this decision for him. This is my life and I am an independent, strong woman. It was only after many years of studying and talking with my family and friends and soul searching that I made the decision to fully embrace Judaism in my life and start planning for a future with the man I chose to marry."
