Italian director Paolo Sorrentino has asked Jude Law to play Pius XIII a conservative, American Pope known for smoking cigarettes in his mini TV series ?The Young Pope.? Law said he was taken by surprise by Sorrentino?s offer. Law stated, ?Like a ton of bricks it landed on me that I had to play a pope and I didn?t quite know where to go or what work to do to offer it some weight and believability, but Paolo constantly reminded me that it was a piece about a man who happened to be the pope.
