The 84-year-old actor Al Pacino recounted a troubling incident involving a fan. In his recently published memoir titled “Sonny,” he explained that he went to a bar with Richard Hackman, the brother of Gene Hackman. After drinking heavily, Pacino struggled to stay on his feet.
As he was leaving the bar, he encountered a fan who offered to give him a ride home in her car. Al Pacino accepted and got into the vehicle. However, after a while, he realized she was not heading in the direction of his home.
“I asked, ‘Hey, what’s going on?’ And she replied, ‘I’m kidnapping you,'” he noted. The actor emphasized that the fan’s behavior didn’t seem flirtatious or joking. He told her he wanted to get out of the car, but she refused.
“I opened the door as if I was about to jump out of a moving car. I was drunk, but I was ready to leap if I had to,” the actor admitted. Realizing that he was in danger, the fan eventually stopped the car and let him out.
In 1973, Al Pacino missed the Oscars despite being nominated. He shared that he struggled with the fame that suddenly surrounded him and even sought therapy to cope with his anxiety and unease.
A year ago, Al Pacino became a father for the fourth time. His girlfriend, Noor Alfallah, gave birth to a son they named Roman. The couple now claims they are just friends sharing parenting duties for their child.
