It wasn't just the Hollywood crew having a press conference yesterday at the Inbal Hotel, but a group of US evangelic ministers too, and in the same room.
As one outlet said: "In the same room a contingent of Hollywood celebrities spoke to the media about their experiences in the Holy Land while evangelical pastors from the United States answered questions about their own tour here. Both groups were in Israel on vastly different tailor-made tours, ...But despite the varying perspectives of the country, the conclusion of both groups seemed to be the same: A visit to Israel can be fun, fulfilling and surprising on many levels." (Jerusalem Post)
And what did Austin do?
He pretty much F'd it up.
Noooooo.... not that way.
He talked about :
Floating
“ 'We don’t see people floating in the Dead Sea or doing trips in jeeps in the Golan Heights. You don’t see that in the United States when the news reports about this part of the world.' ”
Fun
and ...
Family.
Austin "noted that American media only shows certain things about Israel and added that he cannot wait to show his family back home the pictures of all the fun things he did." (Israel National News)
