inside the Sistine Chapel. Mamoa, who was filming “Fast X” at the time, shared photos he took of himself admiring the artwork from inside the Apostolic Palace“I just also wanted to say, if you ever felt that I disrespected your culture, it wasn’t my intention,” Momoa told “Just Jared.” “I came here when I was 19 or 20 to experience the Sistine Chapel.

I’ve always wanted to and now that I can, I gave a wonderful donation to bring my friends and crew because we only had a couple days off to experience these places.“And then I found people wanted to take pictures with me, which is very odd, during a trip to the Vatican with all this wonder and they want to take pictures with me, which I don’t get, but regardless, I did. “I was very respectful and I asked for permission from what I thought, would be okay.

I would never want to do anything to disrespect someone’s culture. If I did, I apologize. It was not my intention. I paid to have that private moment and gave a nice donation to the church.

I love you. I’m sorry if I offended you.”The controversy comes as the domestic doyenne received criticism for Netflix’s documentary about her life, legacy and the 2004 insider trading conviction that put her behind bars for five months.Stewart also was not pleased with the RJ Cutler-directed documentary “Martha” even though she was in it..
