The visit of Jason Momoa at the Sistine Chapel in Rome it sparked a real case. The actor is in the capital where the set of the new chapter of the Fast and Furious film saga was set up and took the opportunity to discover the wonders of the Eternal City.
Jason Momoa at the Vatican Museums: the case breaks out
One of the obligatory stops, when visiting Rome, are the Vatican museums: Jason Momoa wanted to admire the Sistine Chapel with his own eyes, a real jewel envied by the whole world. The actor, during his tour of the Vatican Museums, wanted to pose against the backdrop of the Universal Judgment of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel. Just the shot led to the birth of the controversy.
Normally, in fact, it is forbidden to take pictures photo inside the Sistine Chapel. On social networks there are many users who have expressed their disappointment about what happened. One, in particular, recalled that the place is covered with signs that read “No photos, please” and are used to remind tourists that photographs cannot be taken. Anyone who has visited the Vatican Museums at least once knows that one is literally hammered by this request.
The criticisms that have rained are not so much about Jason Momoa, an actor beloved by the general public also for his participation in the TV series Game of Thrones. The social media people don’t like that celebrities are allowed different things than “mere mortals”.
Such a controversy had already broken out in the summer of 2020, during the visit by Chiara Ferragni and Fedez to the Sistine Chapel. The two, on their respective social profiles, had published photos and videos that portrayed them in the Vatican Museums. Even in that case, the shot in front of the Last Judgment had caused a lot of uproar, especially on the net.
On that occasion, Fedez responded in kind, explaining that the photos to the Sistine Chapel are allowed to those who book a private visit to the Vatican Museums. This is another reason that leaves several users baffled who have expressed their dissent.
In general, many ask the reason for the prohibition to take pictures: if this prohibition were due to reasons of conservation of the wonderful fresco, in fact, it should be applied on every occasion and not put aside in front of those who can afford a private visit.
Who is Jason Momoa
The protagonist, despite himself, of the social controversy is Jason Momoa, an American actor and model known to the general public especially for playing Khal Drogo in the TV series Game of Thrones. Born in Honolulu in 1979, Momoa is married to actress Lisa Bonet, with whom he had a daughter, Lola Iolani Momoa.
Momoa is in Italy, and more precisely in Rome, because he is busy with the filming of Fast and Furious. The crew working on the tenth chapter of the film saga dedicated to the world of motors and clandestine car racing, made a stop in the capital, chosen as the location for the production.
The actor was photographed on a motorcycle through the center of Rome, while shooting some scenes of the film. In addition to the capital, other shots of Fast and Furious 10 they are also planned in Genzano and in the Castelli Romani.
