Traitors winner Harry Clark on his unlikely meeting with the Pope
Clark says arranging a meeting with the Pope “wasn’t easy” and that he and the production team tried everything they could. “I even rang the Vatican and they put the phone down on me,” he says, adding: “I sent emails. I even sent him a DM. Like, who do I think I am?”
However, it paid off and soon Clark was in the Vatican nervously waiting to meet Leo XIV, unsure whether to shake his hand or what questions to ask.
“Suddenly everything just falls silent and the Pope just walks around the corner,” Clark says, explaining a “sense of calmness” overcame him.
As the Vatican took over filming from the documentary crew during the private audience and did not use sound, Clark has recalled his experience of meeting the Pope.
Clark remembers: “He shook my hand first and he just simply went to me, hey Harry, I heard you want to meet the Pope? Well, here I am. And instantly I just went, wow. This is amazing.”
