Dillon influenced by Buddhism
04/09/2005 - 12:08:03Crash star Matt Dillon has created his own tailor-made religion by mixing his Catholic heritage with his new admiration for Buddhist beliefs.
The 41-year-old actor spent time filming his directorial debut City Of Ghosts in Cambodia in 2002, and immediately became fascinated by the Buddhism ever since.
He says: "Making a movie in Cambodia… I wouldn't say I'm now a Buddhist, but I respect Buddhism. I think it's a rational religion - the simple idea of staying in the middle path, keeping the balance.
"I'm no longer a practicing Catholic. I think there's some good in most faiths."
