The Vatican is downplaying media reports that Pope Francis “will play himself” in an upcoming film.
The film production company ENVI Pictures issued a statement on Monday saying Pope Francis will appear in the film “Beyond the Sun”.
The Prefect of the Secretariat for Communications, Msgr Dario Edoardo Viganò, said “the Pope is not an actor”.
He said no scenes for the movie involving the Pope were filmed “for purpose”.
But Msgr Viganò did not rule out video clips of the Pope being in the film, as has happened before.
Any profits from the film will be used to support two Argentine charities for children.
