But turns out he's not just a stranger trying to cause a ruckus for laughs — the expert photobomber plays the very necessary role of translator to the Pope. BIidentified the hilarious unintentional photobomber as Monsignor Mark Miles, a man who has served as the Pope's translator for awhile now, due to the fact that the Pope speaks Spanish, Italian, French, and German, and rarely English.
He even appeared in photographs with Barack Obama, though not quite in same way that induces chuckles like his peeping behind the Pope and Trump.
