Angelina Jolie has met with Pope Francis and felt "honoured" to be invited to the Vatican.

Meeting the head of the Catholic church earlier today she screened her movie Unbroken, telling the story of Olympian and prisoner of War Louis Zamperini for the Political Academy of Sciences.

Speaking in a statement, Angelina said: "Being invited with my film to the Vatican is an honour and a great tribute to the story that I have told in 'Unbroken'.

"The story of the hero Louis a great example of strength and forgiveness."

Universal Pictures Italia went on to say: "Pope Francis, aware of the incredible life story of Louis Zamperini, graciously welcomed the opportunity to view the film and is expected to attend the screening at the Casina Pio IV, headquarters of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences and Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences."
