The Baldwins

Born in a small town on Long Island, New York, he's one of six children — two girls, Elizabeth and Jane, and four now-famous boys: Alec, Billy, Danny, Stephen. Their Catholic parents were respected community members — his dad was a schoolteacher, his mum founded a breast cancer care centre — and the Baldwin brothers were popular: Alec, then and now the leader of the Baldwins, became president of his school's student body, followed by Billy and Jane. He first took coke at his high school prom.

But he was clean and out of rehab by the age of 23, having met his Brazilian wife, Kennya, when he was Kennya has been instrumental in Stephen's conversion from Catholicism to born-again Christian. When Alaia was first born, Kennya hired a Brazilian woman, Augusta, as a housekeeper. As she worked, Augusta kept singing about Jesus and Kennya asked why: Augusta replied that her local church in Brazil had told her that she should take the job with the Baldwins because, if she did, they would become believers and have their own ministry. And I thought, 'What's up with that?

Something shifting for no logical reason — well, then, Jesus Christ could come back for real.

Things are no longer as they were before. Now the impossible is possible. And if the impossible is possible, and a woman came and told my wife that we would lead a ministry…". Which it may have been, though it's hard to believe that God caused all that tragedy just to inform one fairly successful actor that he should jack in his career and start skateboarding for Jesus. But anyway, Stephen set up a company called Global Breakthrough Ministry and staged a very popular arena tour around the US, which mixed extreme sports and evangelism.

A spin-off video called Livin It , which he directed, has gone on to sell , copies. Over the past few years, however, he says he's tried to calm down and listen to the Lord more — and this, weirdly, has led him to do a series of reality shows in the US, including I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here , which he hated, and Celebrity Bull Riding Challenge , which he enjoyed. Both Americans are great performers; funny, reactive, quick to get the joke.

Sure I do," booms Stephen, and flips up his trouser hem to reveal his iPhone tucked into his sock. It's a great place to hide a small 38 revolver! I didn't know the Jesus freak thing was on the horizon! Anyway, he tells me, he can't do the films he used to, because of the gratuitous violence, bad language and sex. If he were offered The Usual Suspects today — which is unlikely — he would have to say no. Off we go again, this time to Nigel Hall on Floral Street, where a stylist whizzes Stephen in and out of some nice clothes. He can't be that skint: Stephen is a laugh throughout.

It impacts directly on his life: It would be OK if they were married, but until that happens, "until he is acting in a way we feel acceptable according to our faith", then no. Earnest, smiley young people sit on cushions to hear their pastor speak. They sit a lot longer for Stephen's talk: It's 45 minutes of fun.

But then, the day after, we speak again on the phone and I ask him what he'd do if one of his girls came out as a lesbian and the other became a stripper. I have two or three very dear friends who are homosexual and they know I'm born again and we have an understanding that we're just not going there…". For the next 20 minutes, we have an intense discussion — argument, really — during which Stephen reveals that he's all for gay men who, through their faith, reject their homosexuality and get married: And he's definitely not for gay marriage. That's really the only issue for me.

And so Stephen and I part company, both feeling disappointed in each other. It's a shame, but it's one of those things. You can really like someone, but when you disagree so decisively on the way you should treat others, you can never really be friends.
