Hitomi Mochizuki gets up close and personal with Shawn Mendes here – but only for professional reasons. Because the 24-year-old is something of a spiritual influencer. And the singer isn't the only star seeking spiritual support. Gurus are currently the trend par excellence in Hollywood. In the video, society expert Rob Shuter reveals which shamans Gwyneth P altrow and Justin Bieber rely on.
VIP shamans get around $10,000 an hour
"These people tell celebrities anything they want to hear," explains Shuter. And would play with the ego of the stars. Because "traditional religions" would not work for many stars. There you would be told, "You're just a small part of this big world." But what they'd rather hear is, "You're a big part of their own world." And that's where the shamans come in, the Hollywood ones are now waiting on every corner for VIP customers who are willing to pay. Working together often creates a close bond, in some cases even a kind of dependency.
Justin Bieber is said to have only done what Pastor Carl Lentz advised him to do for a while. Princess Märtha Louise of Norway and her sex shaman, the American Durek Verrett, are now even engaged. And thanks to the good names of his loved ones, he has already landed other prominent clients – such as actress Gwyneth P altrow.
As a spiritual companion to the stars, you sometimes get an unbelievable hourly wage of around 10,000 dollars. So retraining to become a guru would definitely pay off.
