Complex conjugation inducing a trivial map on the fundamental group

Let $V$ be a smooth projective complex variety defined over the rationals such that $G=\pi_1(V)$ is a non-abelian finite simple group. Assume that $V$ has a real point. Can the map $G\to G$ induced by complex conjugation be trivial?
