Olivia Pope and the Pope! 'Extra' Was with Kerry Washington in NYC as Pontiff Arrived
“Extra's” AJ Calloway was with “Scandal” star Kerry Washington in NYC as Pope Francis and his motorcade drove by.
Afterward, Kerry gushed, "That was amazing! We saw him in his little Fiat!"
She further explained, "He's my celebrity crush, Pope Francis, because he is so generous and such a revolutionary. He is so compassionate. I'm not even Catholic, but I just think what he stands for in carrying the message of God -- not being about judgment, but about service -- is really extraordinary."
