At 84 years old, legendary actor Al Pacino is embracing a new chapter in life—fatherhood. Known for his iconic roles in films like The Godfather and Scarface , Pacino welcomed his fourth child, Roman, last year. Roman’s mother, film producer Noor Alfallah, co-parents with Pacino, but the star admits that much of their interaction is virtual. Despite the distance, Pacino finds joy in the small moments, sharing how he plays harmonica for his son over video calls and enjoys their “fun” connections. Becoming a father again at this age has clearly influenced Pacino in meaningful ways, even inspiring him to write his autobiography, Sonny Boy . The title comes from his mother’s nickname for him, and the book serves as a personal gift to his young son—a way for Roman to know his father’s life story.
Reflecting on his long career, Pacino reveals how writing the book made him look back on his upbringing in the South Bronx and his meteoric rise to fame. He vividly recalls almost being fired from The Godfather during the first weeks of filming, only to cement his place in cinematic history with the iconic restaurant scene that changed everything. Pacino jokes about what might have happened if Robert De Niro had replaced him as Michael Corleone—a hypothetical twist that would have rewritten film history. Despite his legendary status, Pacino remains humble, admitting he doesn’t feel irreplaceable.
Pacino’s ability to blend humor with deep reflection shines through in his interviews. When asked about his films, he admits he would have liked to win an Oscar for Scarface , a film that initially flopped but later became a cult classic thanks to the hip-hop community. Still, he doesn’t dismiss his win for Scent of a Woman , recognizing that every role has its unique impact.
For someone who has seen and done so much, Pacino still dreams big. He’s optimistic about the future of cinema and doesn’t fear the rise of AI or what happens to his likeness after he’s gone, trusting his children to manage his legacy. As he continues to embrace new experiences, whether it’s fatherhood or reminiscing about his legendary career, Al Pacino remains as captivating as ever.
