If you've ever wondered how a prospective Pope spends his downtime, wonder no more. According to a close family member, the recently elected Pope Leo XIV enjoys activities just like many of us—he plays games and watches movies.
As we reported earlier this week, Edward Berger's thrilling film Conclave captivated audiences last year. Its "remarkably accurate" portrayal of the papal election process has even influenced real-life religious leaders, including those who participated in this week's conclave to elect a new Pope. This includes Robert Francis Prevost, who has just been elected 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 games of Wordle and Words with Friends, revealing the Pope's love for gaming. John also inquired if his brother had watched Conclave for tips on the upcoming election.
"He had just finished watching the movie Conclave," John revealed. "So he knew how to behave. We talk about things like that to take his mind off the conclave and just laugh about something."
Directed by Edward Berger, the BAFTA and Oscar-winning *Conclave* delves into one of the world's most secretive and ancient events—the selection of a new Pope. The film follows Cardinal Lawrence (played by Ralph Fiennes), who oversees the covert process following the unexpected death of the beloved Pope. As the Catholic Church's most powerful leaders gather from around the world and are locked in the Vatican, Lawrence uncovers a conspiracy and a secret that could shake the foundations of the Church.
