Al Pacino Becomes First Movie Star to Meet With Pope Leo XIV

Al Pacino met with Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican on Monday, becoming the first movie star to have an audience with the new pontiff.

“We are honored to announce that this morning His Holiness Pope Leo XIV received in a private audience at the Holy See a delegation from the film Maserati: The Brothers, including Oscar winner actor Al Pacino and the film’s producer Andrea Iervolino,” Iervolino said in a statement, per The Hollywood Reporter. They join previously announced cast members Anthony Hopkins, Michele Morrone, Andy García, Jessica Alba, Salvatore Esposito, Lorenzo De Moor, Maya Talem, Victoria Sophia, and Annie Bezikian. “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,” he said, “a family whose legacy was built not only on innovation and excellence but on profound mutual respect, solidarity and a shared vision.”
