Actress Angelina Jolie has met almost everyone that matters in the world—from rock stars and presidents to refugees and royalties. But yesterday, she met someone special-Pope Francis at  the Vatican after the screening of her movie-Unbroken.

The UN Special envoy and Director together with two of her children were at the Pontifical Academy for Sciences for the screening of the film, which tells the story of Louis Zamperini, an Olympic track star whose B-24 bomber crashed in the Pacific during the second world war.

Vatican spokesman, the Rev Federico Lombardi said the film shows “positive human and spiritual values, in particular forgiveness”.

Even though Pope Francis didn’t watch the film, he made time to meet Jolie and exchanged a few words with her—after the screening when she was brought up to the Apostolic Palace along with two of her children, a brother and a cast member.

It’s not all the time that a celebrity gets to meet the Pope and shake hands with him so Angelina Jolie was super excited about the meeting. She released a statement to say;

“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. These are universal themes at the heart of the human experience everywhere.”
