Country music star Carly Pearce is taking a new step in her career with her first acting role in My Jesus, an upcoming film inspired by Christian-country singer Anne Wilson’s life and music.
Pearce confirmed her involvement in a November 9 Instagram announcement, sharing her excitement about joining the project. Her appearance marks her first move into acting, although details about her character have not been disclosed.
The film is based on Wilson’s book My Jesus: From Heartache to Hope, which explores her journey through personal loss, faith, and the unexpected beginnings of her music career.
Wilson gained attention after a video of her singing went viral, eventually helping establish her as a successful Christian music artist.
Aliza Kate Barlow will portray Wilson in the film. The cast also includes Gavin Casalegno, Monica Potter, Charles Esten, and Beau Bridges.
Kay Oyegun, known for her television writing work, is directing the film from her own screenplay.
Production is underway, bringing Wilson’s personal story to the screen while giving Pearce an opportunity to explore a new creative direction beyond country music.
