    Pope Francis really is a breath of fresh air in what has been a bit of an old fuddy-duddy club in years gone by. We have covered a few of his refreshing viewpoints on topics such as parenting, homosexuality and public breastfeeding (HERE) and now we hear that he used to be a bouncer? The gift that keeps on giving.

    Yes folks, way back in the day when the pope was a student he earned a few bob on the side working as a bouncer in Flores, Argentina. The Daily Beast reports:

    I was the world’s worst bouncer,” Francis told the congregation of San Cirillo Alessandrino in a Roman suburb shortly after his election in 2013. He cut a less-than-intimidating figure, according to several biographies written about him…

    …before he became pope [he was known] as “el Flaco” or the thin one and later, “Carucha” or “baby face”.

    Pope Francis also fell prey to the charms of the opposite sex, dating a woman before he joined the priesthood and swore himself to a life of celibacy. This wasn’t without the odd speedbump though, like when he met a rather ravishing lady at his uncle’s wedding. The Daily Beast again:

    I was dazzled by a girl I met at the wedding of an uncle of mine, her beauty, her intellectual radiance surprised me. I was confused for some time, she kept on coming into my mind. When I went back to the seminary after the wedding, I couldn’t pray for a whole week, because when I wanted to do so, this girl appeared in my head.

    We’ve all been there mate. I would say rub one out and call it a day but I’m not sure that’s an option for a man in your position.
