Jason Momoa apologizes after taking photos in the Sistine Chapel – CNN

Momoa, 42, is currently in Rome shooting "Fast X", the 10th installment in the "Fast & Furious" film saga.

Around 500 Ukrainian fighters have been trapped at the plant in the last pocket of resistance.  “Our courage impresses the world, our music conquers Europe,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Telegram.
