O.J. Simpson has found God, according to a new report from the National Enquirer, which cites his manager Norman Pardo.
“O.J. is very religious now, and he’s been counseling other inmates with Bible studies for months,” Pardo told the magazine, according to Radar Online. “When I talk to him on the phone, all he wants to discuss is religion. He’s obsessed!”
According to the report, Simpson would like to become a TV Evangelist. His manager said negotiations are in the works for a TV deal.
