Dyan Cannon, the actress known for her roles in classic movies, recently shared some thoughts on friendship and faith. At 88 years young, Cannon is now co-hosting a podcast called “God’s Table Hollywood,” where she and others discuss finding purpose through faith-based conversations.
Cannon found herself in the headlines after an interview at the Hollywood Beauty Awards. When asked about having friends in Hollywood, she playfully said she had “friends with benefits.” The comment caused a stir, but Cannon clarified that she didn’t realize the modern meaning of the phrase. She explained that she simply meant friends who bring positivity and support into her life.
“I thought friends with benefits meant friends who benefit your life!” she said, emphasizing the importance of kindness and helpfulness in true friendships.
Cannon, who was once married to Cary Grant, values her faith and tradition. While she’s open to finding companionship, she’s cautious about modern dating trends like dating apps. A friend warned her about the potential pitfalls, and Cannon worries about people’s motives.
For now, Cannon is enjoying her independence and focusing on her podcast. She believes it’s important to be happy on your own and not settle for less just out of loneliness. She also values the freedom to pursue her career without sacrificing her personal beliefs.
“I think we all have to be true to our highest sense of right, not listen so much to what the world says we should be doing,” Cannon stated.
“God’s Table Hollywood” brings together a group of strong women with different viewpoints, creating engaging discussions about faith and life’s important questions. Cannon is excited to be part of a show that encourages thoughtful conversation and staying true to one’s values.
