New Pope Watches 'Conclave' Movie, Plays Games While Awaiting Conclave

If you've ever been curious about how a future Pope spends his free time, look no further. According to a close family member, the newly elected Pope Leo XIV enjoys gaming and watching movies, just like many of us.

As previously reported, Edward Berger's gripping papal thriller Conclave captivated audiences last year. The film's "remarkably accurate" depiction of the papal election process drew the attention of real-life religious leaders, including those involved in this week's actual conclave to elect a new Pope. Among them was Robert Francis Prevost, now known as Pope Leo XIV.

In a recent interview with NBC, Pope Leo XIV's older brother, John Prevost, shared insights from their last conversation before the conclave. They discussed their daily gaming routine, playing Wordle and Words with Friends together. John also inquired if his brother had watched Conclave for any pointers.

"He had just finished watching the movie Conclave," John revealed. "So he knew how to behave. We talk about that kind of stuff — I just wanted to take his mind off the upcoming conclave and share a laugh."

PlayDirected by Edward Berger, the BAFTA and Oscar-winning film *Conclave* delves into one of the world's most secretive and ancient events — the selection of a new Pope. The story follows Cardinal Lawrence (played by Ralph Fiennes), who oversees the clandestine process following the unexpected death of the beloved Pope. As the Catholic Church's most influential leaders gather from around the globe and are secluded within the Vatican, Cardinal Lawrence uncovers a conspiracy and a secret that could undermine the Church's very foundations.
