Say What? Jenny McCarthy Wanted To Be A Nun? (VIDEO)

Jenny McCarthy appeared on the “Piers Morgan” show on CNN discussing her childhood desire to become a nun.

The former Playboy model has penned a new book where she reveals, “I, Jenny McCarthy, wanted to become a nun. That’s right: a nun. Being raised Catholic on the south side of Chicago, I was taught to believe that my goal in life was to do good things so that I could ensure my place in heaven.”

She adds, “So, it was only logical in my young innocent mind that I should become a nun — and guarantee my spot to hang out with Jesus and his buddies. I even put a towel on my head in the shape of a nun’s veil, and blessed those around me with my awesome holiness.”

McCarthy’s desire to be a nun faded after visiting a convent with her mother.

She explains, “Standing before me was Sister Mary F. in a pair of jeans, a rock concert t-shirt and a really scary tight perm. My eyes bulged out of my head as I stared at her veil-less head. I thought veils were glued to the nuns’ heads! I thought their wardrobes consisted solely of habits.”

Sister Mary F. asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?,” McCarthy said, “A nun … and a mom.”

The nun explained that if you are a nun you can’t have children so Jenny realized she would have to choose a different career path.

In her book “Bad Habits: Confessions Of A Recovering Catholic”, she writes, “Even though I didn’t become a nun and have done my fair share of sinning, I’ve come to realize that you can still fight for justice and truth without having to wear a habit. I just chose to wear a push-up bra instead. Some people might call me a sinner and blame me for my Bad Habits, but I prefer to look at myself like a student in this awesome school called life.”
