Ever curious about how potential Popes spend their free time? Look no further—Pope Leo XIV, recently elected, enjoys gaming and movies just like the rest of us, according to a family member.
As previously reported, Edward Berger’s gripping papal thriller Conclave captivated audiences last year, even drawing attention from real-life religious figures. Some participants in this week’s papal election reportedly turned to the film for insights, praising its "strikingly realistic" depiction of the process—including Robert Francis Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV.
In an interview with NBC, John Prevost, the Pope’s brother, recounted their final conversation before the appointment. Amid chats about Wordle and Words with Friends—yes, the Pope plays daily—the older Prevost joked about whether his brother had studied Conclave for pointers.
"He’d just finished watching Conclave," Prevost shared. "So he knew the drill. We kept it light—just a way to distract him before the big day."
Directed by Edward Berger, the award-winning Conclave pulls back the curtain on one of history’s most clandestine rituals: electing a Pope. When Cardinal Lawrence (Ralph Fiennes) oversees the process after the sitting Pope’s sudden death, he uncovers a conspiracy threatening the Church’s core.
