Jason Momoa Apologises to Outraged Fans for Snapping Pic in Sistine Chapel Despite Photo Ban
06:18 GMT 15.05.2022 (Updated: 19:04 GMT 19.10.2022) The chapel, which is a part of the Apostolic Palace in Vatican City, was decorated by the Renaissance artist Michelangelo, who painted the chapel's ceiling. His fresco The Last Judgement is considered one of the greatest works of art in human history.
Jason Momoa had to apologise after taking photos and videos during his trip to the Sistine Chapel.
The Hollywood star, who is now in Italy filming "Fast X", posted several pictures from the Apostolic Palace on Instagram*, forgetting that photography is prohibited there, since flash could harm the priceless artwork.
"I LOVE YOU ITALY what a beautiful start to our day off enjoying ROMA," the actor captioned his post.
This resulted in a major backlash, as users were furious that Momoa received "special treatment", while jeopardising the art. Multiple commenters stressed that no one is allowed to take photos in the chapel, so the actor issued a video apology to explain himself.
"I just also wanted to say, if you ever felt that I disrespected your culture, it wasn’t my intention", he said. "I came here when I was 19 or 20 to experience the Sistine Chapel. I've always wanted to and now that I can, I gave a wonderful donation to bring my friends and crew because we only had a couple days off to experience these places".
Momoa noted he had asked for permission first and thought it would be okay.
