As viewers may recall, the singer's rebellious behavior shakes up the nuns' routines and transforms the church choir into a lively musical ensemble.
The Oscar-winning African American actress appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last week and shared an interesting story related to the film. She mentioned that she was granted an audience with Pope Francis, the spiritual leader of the Catholic world, at the Vatican last October and offered him a role in the movie.
'I know that the Pope is a fan of musicals. I've been trying to get an appointment with him for a solid 10 years, but it kept getting pushed back. Finally, His Holiness granted me an audience. I briefed him about the film and offered him a role. He gave me the classic 'time will tell' response. I don't know if he'll act in the film, but personally, I'm hopeful.'
