Who is Lunna LeBlanc? Nude OnlyFans model seeks Pope Francis' blessings for her risque Playboy photoshoot
After the official Instagram handle of Pope Francis was caught liking scantily clad models' pictures on two separate occasions, an OnlyFans model has been inspired by the alleged likes and has asked Pope Francis to bless an upcoming racy photoshoot. Brazilian model Lunna LeBlanc has reportedly said she sought the pontiff's formal blessing for her photoshoot for Playboy Denmark.
The official Instagram account for Pope Francis was caught liking racy pictures of two different Instagram models, Natalia Garibotto and Margot Foxx. COY Co — Garibotto’s management firm — subsequently quipped that she had "received the POPE’S OFFICIAL BLESSING." However, the Holy See's office asked Instagram to carry out an investigation, releasing a statement saying, "We can rule out that the ‘like’ comes from the Holy See, which has turned to Instagram for explanations."
According to the Daily Star, 23-year-old LeBlanc — real name Letícia Martins — follows the Pope on Twitter and said of the upcoming photoshoot, "I would like the Pope to say a prayer for the success of my Playboy." She says she is inspired by the Pope's messages and particularly identified with one of his messages which said, "The Father says to each one of us, like Jesus, You are my beloved Son."
The message in question was tweeted by Pope Francis on January 10, stating, "The Father says to each one of us, as He did to Jesus: 'You are my beloved Son'. We are God's beloved children. This is our deepest identity. It is the first point of the spiritual life and we are reminded about it by Jesus first public gesture. #BaptismoftheLord."

However, the model has received backlash over the request. According to the publication, LeBlanc said, "I was told that my request was invalid and that I was too sensual to be able to follow something from Pope Francis." She continued, "But only God must judge." It is not clear, however, whether LeBlanc has made any actual attempt to reach out to Pope Francis for blessings.
This is not the first time LeBlanc has gone viral. In December 2020, a photo shared by LeBlanc of her sunbathing went viral after she wrote that exposing private parts to the sun could help increase libido. She had shared, "Did you know that exposing your private parts to the sun can provide you with more energy, increase your libido, improve the circadian rhythm (which regulates the entire functioning of the human body) and still help you get a good night's sleep?"
Last year, she told the Daily Star that she was "traumatized" after spending the first lockdown without sex and worried about spending the second lockdown in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the same way. She said, "It was traumatizing. I don't want a lockdown without sex anymore. Nobody can take it."
The publication also noted that the model had undergone plastic surgery before opening her OnlyFans account. She spent upwards of $30,000 on plastic surgery, having done liposculpture, put prostheses in her breasts, butt bioplasty, rhinoplasty and several facial procedures. She stated that her goal for getting plastic surgery was because she did not want to use Photoshop on her OnlyFans photos.
