Anchored in Faith: ‘Camp Rock 3’ Star Malachi Barton Says Jesus Christ Is What Drives Him
Disney star Malachi Barton, who leads the highly anticipated “Camp Rock 3,” is opening up about what keeps him grounded amidst the intense pressures and constant scrutiny of Hollywood fame: his unwavering Christian faith. The 19-year-old actor, who has been in the spotlight since age six, told Variety, “Honestly, what drives me is Jesus Christ, and being a light of God in a business where there isn’t a lot of that. That’s what gets me stoked when I wake up.” With 7 million followers on TikTok and 3 million on Instagram, Barton is no stranger to the public eye, but he credits his relationship with God as the anchor that keeps him steady in a world that often celebrates chaos. “There’s so many crazy things that go on,” he said. “I use God to say, ‘I’m not here for all that crazy stuff. I’m here to do my job and have fun doing what I love through a filter of God.'”
Barton’s faith has been a constant throughout his career, which includes major roles in “Stuck in the Middle” and “Dora and the Lost City of Gold.” He acknowledges the unique pressures of fame, especially in the age of social media, where opinions are “thrown at you 24/7.” To navigate this, he turns to the truth of Scripture, with his Instagram bio citing Joshua 1:9: “Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” For Barton, the foundation of his life is clear: “My relationship with God is my number one. I’ve continued to remind myself that the only opinion that matters is His.” As he steps into the legacy of the iconic “Camp Rock” franchise, Barton’s testimony is a powerful reminder that even in the brightest spotlight, true peace is found in the One who never fades.
