The Mirror Mirror starlet's post comes after her shoot for the fifth installment of her popular Netflix show, Emily in Paris, was delayed due to Pope Leo's announcement as the New Pope.

"All the news helicopters covering the new Pope are causing mayhem and making so much noise," the tipster added.
Taking to Instagram, the Emily in Paris' official account shared on May 7 that they were officially back in production with a snapshot of Lily Collins sitting on a moped.
