Angelina Jolie met with Pope Francis at the Vatican on Thursday after a screening for Unbroken, and she wore a conservative black suit and greeted him with a warm smile.
While the pope did not attend the screening, Universal Pictures said in a statement, "Pope Francis, aware of the incredible life story of Louis Zamperini, graciously welcomed the opportunity to view the film." Jolie added, "To be invited to screen Unbroken at the Vatican is an honor and a tribute to Louie's legacy as a man of faith and someone who exemplified the power of forgiveness and the strength of the human spirit." Aha! So that's what this trip was all about!
After the screening, Jolie and daughter Zahara were taken to a room in the Apostolic Palace for a VIP meet and greet with the pope, and the Oscar winner was given a rosary.
