Actor/Musician Reveals How Faith Grounds Him: ‘You Got to Have That Anchor’
By Movieguide® Contributor
The BREWSTER’S MILLIONS: CHRISTMAS cast is opening up about joy, faith and the importance of Christmas.
“Christmas is happiness. It’s that time of the year where people are jolly, right, and I’m just excited for people to see this movie. I think this movie is going to make people a little bit more jolly and happy,” Romeo Miller told Movieguide® at the red carpet premiere this week.
“Faith is everything, you know. It’s so hard to do anything without believing first,” he shared. “You have to believe in something before you see it, right?”
Miller previously talked about how faith through works isn’t true faith.
“You can give, serve, help others etc, but if you aren’t truly believing (have faith) then you aren’t touching God,” he said on X. “We all have waiting periods but our faith should stay active.”
“God…you got to have that anchor,” he said on the red carpet. “So, for me it’s always been God. Being able to be obedient when others aren’t right so being a God-fearing man is big.”
For Miller, the Bible serves as a great guidebook as he makes decisions in his life.
“When you read that Bible, it gives you guidelines to how to overcome a lot,” he told Movieguide®. “So God that’s how I stay grounded and good people. You got to have the right people around you.”
“This was like a divine project because so many things…I was in a terrible car accident when I got the call for this…I was in a wheelchair…Joseph called me like, ‘Yo, we got this movie.’ I’m like, ‘I think I may be able to do it in a wheelchair,’ but God made it happen.”

Actress Telma Hopkins also calls her faith “everything.”
“I am a believer. A proud, proud believer,” she told Movieguide®.
In speaking of what family means to her, she said, “Family, you can’t replace it with money or anything else. That’s what’s important, and this is the time to — well, no, every day we should remember this — but this time in particular we can take the time to reflect on what our family or maybe someone we haven’t talked to. I mean, think about maybe there’s someone you can reach out to in your family that you haven’t talked to in a while. Those are very important elements of this time of the year.”
The synopsis for the movie reads: “When Morgan Brewster, a wealthy heiress who has lost her way, faces a Christmas challenge to inherit her uncle Monty Brewster’s grandfather’s fortune, she must learn the true meaning of love, faith, and family by giving instead of receiving, all while navigating the charming chaos, and the true meaning of the holiday season.”
It came out yesterday, Dec. 5, and will stream exclusively on BET+.
Rain Pryor said BREWSTER’S MILLIONS: CHRISTMAS “is about hope and giving. Because in order to receive, we must give, and we should give freely without expectation, and that’s the holiday spirit, right, and I think this story…really shows that.”
Pryor hopes that audiences walk away with hope and the Christmas spirit.
“[It’s] important it is for us to just give freely of ourselves, freely of our hearts, freely of our minds, freely of our spirit, and then everything falls into place when that happens, you know. So I hope that’s what they walk away with… and joy!” Pryor finished.
