Glenn Close has just opened up about her childhood with The Hollywood Reporter. Apparently, she spent most of her childhood in a cult that was known as the Moral Re-Armament when she was seven years old up to when she was 22.

"You basically weren't allowed to do anything or you were made to feel guilty about any unnatural desire," she shared. For two years, Glenn Close and her family had to live in the cult's base in Switzerland. It was "a very glamorous, exclusive hotel" until they had to relocate back to Connecticut.

It was only when the actress attended college at the College of William and Mary that she decided to cut all ties from the cult. She said, "Many things led me to leave. I had no tool box to leave, but I did it."

Glenn Close refused to divulge how she got out of the cult. She said, "I'm not going to go into all of that. You can't in an interview." However, she the "101 Dalmatians" actress did admit that the impact of the cult stayed with her for years. She said, "I wouldn't trust any of my instincts because my beliefs had all been dictated to me."

Her father, Dr. William Taliaferro Close, who was the personal doctor to the Congolese dictator, Mobutu Sese Seko, was the one who decided that his family would join a religious sect, which was a homophobic one.

She added, "If you talk to anybody who was in a group that basically dictates how you're supposed to live and what you're supposed to say and how you're supposed to feel, from the time you're 7 'til the time you're 22, it has a profound impact on you."

Her father, who got his medical degree from Harvard, was actually one of the best physicians in Africa. In fact, he played a leading role in the battle against the first Ebola outbreak in Congo, which was called Zaire back in 1976. He was the one who spear-headed the distribution of medical supplies and medications to combat the Ebola virus.
