Al Pacino Meets With Pope Leo XIV, Becoming First Movie Star to Get Audience With First American Pope
Al Pacino met with Pope Leo XIV on Monday, becoming the first movie star to get an audience with the first U.S. Pope.
“The meeting was a moment of profound spiritual and cultural inspiration, centered around shared values that lie at the heart of both the Catholic Church and the film: family unity, love, compassion and the importance of contributing to the common good.” The statement continued: “These values, which Pope Leo XIV has consistently emphasized in his recent messages to the world, resonate deeply with the story of the Maserati brothers: a family whose legacy was built not only on innovation and excellence but on profound mutual respect, solidarity and a shared vision.” The previously announced “Maserati” cast – who did not attend the papal audience – comprises Anthony Hopkins, Andy Garcia, Jessica Alba, Michele Morrone and Salvatore Esposito.
