Whoopi Goldberg recently revealed her surprising invitation to Pope Francis for a role in Sister Act 3. During her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on May 8, Goldberg shared her memorable encounter with Pope Francis at the Vatican.
She recounted meeting the pontiff and humorously offering him a part in the highly anticipated sequel, Sister Act 3. Goldberg noted that she couldn’t resist the opportunity to ask him, despite the unconventional nature of her request.
“I actually met the Pope at the Vatican,” she explained, “and I just had to offer him a role in Sister Act 3.”
The Oscar-winning actress shared, “I wanted to thank him.” “I really like this man, because, you know, when people talk about, you know, who you want, this is supposed to be the guy that you talk to,” remarked the 68-year-old, noting that she approves of Pope Francis’ stance on issues like divorce acceptance in the Catholic Church.
The Ghost actress mentioned, “He’s annoyed a lot of people because he said some things people don’t think are correct, but I do.” “Because, you know, you’re the pope. You say, ‘Listen, we welcome everybody. We want everybody at our party. We want everybody. We don’t — you know, we’re not going to judge you. Only God judges you,’” explained The View’s co-host.
Whoopi revealed Pope “seems to be a bit of a fan of 1992’s Sister Act,” which led the actress to offer him a role in Sister Act 3. “I offered one. He said he’d see what his time was like,” added the actress. Responding to a question about meeting the pope, Whoop replied, “I did because I felt like, ‘Alright, he does get it.’”
“It’s a tough gig, you know, it’s like being the — you’re the top guy, right? And everybody’s saying, ‘That’s not what this says,’” she continued. Whoopi added, “Worldwide, you’re the top guy. And when you say something like, ‘Listen, we want everybody,’ people go, ‘No, we don’t.’”
While the likelihood of Pope Francis appearing in the film remains slim, Goldberg’s playful approach added an extra layer of excitement and anticipation to the project. As fans eagerly await the next installment, her quirky story serves as a testament to her enthusiasm for the film and her unique sense of humor.
