Actor K.J. Apa says he believes God “anointed” the new faith-based romantic film I Still Believe, which stars Apa and Britt Robertson and is based on a true story.
“The story itself is so powerful,” Apa told ABC’s The View.
The movie is based on the romance between Christian singer Jeremy Camp and his first wife, Melissa, who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer shortly after they met. Apa and Robertson play Jeremy and Melissa.
It was co-directed by Jon and Andrew Erwin, who also co-directed I Can Only Imagine and Woodlawn.
I Still Believe, which opens in theaters this week, is rated PG.
“It’s a story about, ultimately, love – two people who love each other so dearly and are willing to go through everything with each other, no matter what that it is or what that looks like,” Apa said. “… As soon as I read that first script and I spoke to the Erwin Brothers about it, I was pretty terrified of the story just because it was a huge responsibility to play a real-life person. I wanted to get it right and honor everyone in the film.
“But I feel like God really anointed this film, and I’ve never been so proud of anything in my entire life.”
Apa plays the guitar and sings in the film.
“Why I was kind of hesitant to play the character is because I’m not the most confident singer, but I feel confident with a guitar in my hand,” Apa said.
