Pope Francis makes history with acting debut in new family movie, Beyond the Sun

The present Bishop of Rome, Pope Francis, will definitely go down in history as one of the coolest popes the Vatican city has ever had.

The 79-year-old pontiff caused a major buzz on social media during his visit to the Central Africa Republic in December. While blessing some internally displaced people in Bangui, the leader of the

worldwide Catholic church was pictured briefly holding his microphone like rappers do, inspiring hilarious memes with the hashtag#Popebars.

Now reports are in that Pope Francis will be making history as the first Pope to be ever featured in a movie with his acting debut in upcoming Christian family movie, Beyond the Sun.

Last year, the pontiff also dropped his first album titled Wake Up!; a Christian rock album which has a compilation of Pope Francis’ speeches as well as music tracks of prayers and hymns by various Italian artists and producers.
