TV Host Mario Lopez Visits Western Wall in Jerusalem During Israel Visit
by Shiryn Ghermezian
Television host and actor Mario Lopez toured Israel this week and stopped by the Western Wall in Jerusalem.
A photo of the “Extra” host at the holy site was posted on Instagram by America’s Voices In Israel, which organizes week-long missions to the Jewish state for Hollywood stars and other well-known figures.
Lopez also filmed a video in Jerusalem, that he later posted on social media, in which he admitted to crashing a Jewish couple’s wedding photo. He shouted “Mazal tov” to the couple off-camera and said, “I’m getting a lot of love here in Israel. They’re very, very nice people.”
Lopez arrived in Israel on Sunday with his Jewish manager, Mark Schulman, and another friend. His itinerary included a visit to the Sea of Galilee and he was baptized in the Jordan River.
