Joe: Rise of the Cobra<\/a> was #2 at the box office this weekend&#8211;not bad for a movie highly anticipated by boys who grew up with G.I.

Along the way, he also offered a surprising nugget on his spiritual outlook: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;People that are your <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/Inspiration\/Angels\/Guardian-Angels.aspx\">guardian angels<\/a> just come from funny places. I remember I got so pissed off one day about something. I don&#8217;t remember what it was now, but I had one of my friend&#8217;s little boys with me. I had to take him out for the day and I was like &#8216;God, I hate this, I hate it so much.&#8217; He looks up and says, &#8216;You shouldn&#8217;t hate anything.&#8217; I was like, &#8216;You&#8217;re right! I&#8217;m sorry.&#8217; He was so young. He could barely even walk and he was like &#8216;You shouldn&#8217;t hate anything.&#8217; That&#8217;s a lesson I hope I don&#8217;t forget.&#8221; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Even actors need some heavenly guidance once in a while.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/idolchatter\/2009\/07\/watch-trailer-gi-joe-rise-of-t.html\"><strong>Watch the movie trailer for G.I.
