Regina Hall Says She Seriously Considered Becoming a Nun, Rejected at 41 Over Order’s Age Limit

Her Catholic school experience shaped a lasting pull toward religious life.

Overview

  • In a recent appearance on Amy Poehler’s Good Hang podcast, Hall said she weighed joining a convent at multiple points in her life.
  • She revisited the vocation at 41 but said the order she explored limited entrants to age 39.
  • Hall described the appeal as a life focused on prayer without material attachments or romantic heartbreak.
  • She said she continues to practice her faith and feels a sense of familiarity with the path she once considered.
  • Hall has previously suggested she may have been a nun in a past life, and she is promoting One Battle After Another, which opens in theaters Friday.
