Jude Law Dresses as the Pope On Set of 'The Young Pope'

Jude Law wears a full Pope costume on the set of The Young Pope on Tuesday (August 4) in Rome, Italy.

The 42-year-old actor is co-starring in the HBO mini-series with Diane Keaton and Sebastian Roché, as well as newly announced cast members James Cromwell, Silvio Orlando, and Scott Shepherd.

“The clear signs of God’s existence. The clear signs of God’s absence. How faith can be searched for and lost. The greatness of holiness, so great as to be unbearable when you are fighting temptations and when all you can do is to yield to them. The inner struggle between the huge responsibility of the Head of the Catholic Church and the miseries of the simple man that fate (or the Holy Spirit) chose as Pontiff. Finally, how to handle and manipulate power in a state whose dogma and moral imperative is the renunciation of power and selfless love towards one’s neighbour. That is what The Young Pope is about,” director Paolo Sorrentino said in a statement about the mini-series (via Variety).
