Conclave stars John Lithgow and Ralph Fiennes recently spoke about how during a break from filming, the three went into a wine shop to buy some wine for a party and all the locals were starstruck.“It made you feel like a total nobody to walk down the streets of Rome with Stanley,” recalled Lithgow at the time. “On the way home from work one day, at like 6:30pm, we stopped off to buy some wine.

We’d all been invited to the same party, so Stanley, Ralph Fiennes, and I went into a wine shop.“We just had the car stop and let us out, and we went in to buy wine for the hostess.

And Stanley, of course, bought about eight bottles of wine. And everybody in that store, customers and service people alike, they [behaved] like a Beatle had walked into their door.”Now, in a new interview with The Guardian the trio spoke further about the incident.“That food show [Stanley Tucci: Searching For Italy] is very much the Stanley show and the world has got to know you so well and like you so much.

In Rome you were virtually worshipped in that wine shop,” Lithgow said.Tucci agreed, adding: “That was really funny. I remember when we went to a grocery store.
