Lou Reed Insurance broker sentenced for scamming Hanks Pfeiffer reveals she was once in a cult

ittle known fact about Michelle Pfeiffer: She was in a cult, once. The three-time Oscar nominee, Lwho was most recently seen alongside Robert De Niro in Luc Besson’s mob comedy “The Family,” told The Sunday Telegraph’s Stella magazine that she was manipulated by a “very controlling” couple of “kind of personal trainers” during her early days in Hollywood. “They worked with weights and put people on diets. Their thing was vegetarianism,” Pfeiffer said. “They were very controlling. I wasn’t living with them but I was there a lot and they were always telling me I needed to come more. I had to pay for all the time I was there, so it was financially very draining.” The actress said they were pushing her toward practicing Breatharianism, which is a lifestyle based on the belief that absorbing energy from the sun trumps nourishment from food - a diet Pfeiffer said “nobody can adhere to.” Pfeiffer didn’t realize she was in a cult until she was introduced to her first husband, Peter Horton, who had been cast in a Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson film about Rev. Sun Myung Moon’s Unification Church.
