Among moviegoers who caught the midnight screening of the much-anticipated movie “Fifty Shades of Grey:” Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson.

He shared with his Twitter followers Friday morning that he had seen Mr. Grey and Anastasia and called it a “great movie.”

But fans of Wilson, who tweets out a Bible Verse of the Day with the hashtag #BVD, did not respond with positive reviews. Several of his followers even thought his Twitter account might have been hacked.

Thanks for the early showing of #50ShadesOfGrey late last night..

.@DangeRussWilson I'm more than a little confused, Russell. I thought you professed to be a Christian. And yes, I'm judgmental (John 7:24).

Wilson defended his choice to go see the movie, and followed it up with a nod to a film in a much different genre.

Saw a movie filmed in the town I call home. Provocative/disturbing no doubt but that does not make me less Faithful.

Have a blessed day! 😇

Now on a more serious & lighter note…

#ScarFace is an all time ultimate classic!
