Sylvester Stallone’s daughters shocked to learn Pope Francis is a fan of their dad

Pope Francis is a fan of their dad, they told The Post. During a trip to Italy with their parents, Sophia, Sistine and Scarlet Stallone met the pontiff, who told Sly in Italian, with the help of a translator, “We grew up with your films.”“He brought it up to him that he was watching the films and we all looked at each other like, ‘Oh my gosh,'” said Sophia, 27. “I think that is probably the only person on Earth who I would never guess,” continued Scarlet, 21.“Our dad’s known by the pope?

Like what?” added Sistine, 25.In the scene, which was filmed for their reality series “The Family Stallone,” which debuted its second season this week, Francis also said he was “honored” to meet the “Rocky” star, and called his daughters “the three Marys.”“I think we peaked in meeting people that are famous,” said Sophia. “That was it.

That was the top.”Being in papal presence was hard to put into words, said the trio, whose mom is former model Jennifer Flavin. “There’s a feeling I can’t even describe that is such a lightweight feeling when you’re meeting him,” said Scarlet. “I don’t know if it was my nervousness, but I felt so holy.”Sistine described it as an “out-of-body” experience.“You almost feel his presence before he even walked in the room, like there was just energy that just washed over us,” she added.The sisters, who grew up in Los Angeles, said a series about their famous family has been a long time in the making. “We’ve always gotten approached to do a reality show,” said Sistine.“Every single network has tried to sort of get an inside look on who our family is.

And I think the timing just was never right.”“I mean, we were all middle school and high school, so we were all really at our awkward stages,” continued Scarlet.
