Pope Francis greets Antonio Banderas at General
Audience
(Vatican Radio) Amongst the
30.000 people present in St. Peter's Square on Wednesday for the weekly General
Audience was Spanish filmstar Antonio Banderas.
Accompanied by his
girlfriend, Nicole Kimpel, Banderas was greeted personally by Pope Francis at
the end of his catechesis and after having made an appeal for prayers for his
upcoming visit to the Greek island of Lesbos in solidarity with refugees
fleeing conflict.
After the meeting Banderas
tweeted: 'nice chat with Pope Francis before we start filming in Rome'. Ahead
of the audience he had let his followers know he was excited and looking
forward to the meeting.
The new film he is referring
to is shrouded in secrecy. What has transpired is that Banderas will be playing
the lead role in a film on the life of fashion designer Gianni Versace directed
by Bille August.
The Oscar winning Danish film
director made the announcement recently and said that he will be focussing on
personal aspects of Versace’s life and highlighting unexplored aspects of his
work.
Antonio Banderas is United
Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Goodwill Ambassador.
