CNN International Correspondent Larry Madowo has revealed a surprising past ambition: he once aspired to become a Catholic priest.

Madowo disclosed his former dream of serving in the Church, even attending a Catholic seminary during his secondary education.
He humorously described his current journalism career as a "backup plan," since he felt he "was not chosen" for the priesthood.
Madowo, known for his reporting on Africa, engaged followers on social media about his revelation, playfully asking if it's "too late" to return to the seminary if the Pope were to call.
