‘The Young Pope’s’ Jude Law: Why Those Memes Give Him Hope
Jude Law would never have imagined he’d play the Pope.
“If you asked me two years ago, I would’ve laughed at the idea,” the actor said at the Television Critics Association press tour for HBO’ “The Young Pope” on Saturday. “But I was keen to work with [director Paolo Sorrentino] and I would’ve jumped at the opportunity.”
Fortunately, Sorrentino felt that the papal robes fit, and now that Law is doing press for the show, he’s embraced everything about it whole-heartedly, including how “The Young Pope” has taken social media by storm. The memes and imaginative song lyrics inspired by “The Young Pope” have taken over Twitter as the show nears its premiere.
