Legendary actor Al Pacino, 84, has finally broken his silence on the most important role of his life – father to his one-year-old son, Roman! Yup, Al’s back at it again, proving that fatherhood is never out of style, no matter how many gangster movies you’ve starred in.
Al, who welcomed Roman with Noor Alfallah back in June 2023, has been keeping things pretty hush-hush on the baby front. We’re talking stealth mode here, as if he’s been training Roman to be the next great silent film actor. But in a rare moment of pure “awww!”, the Hollywood icon spilled some tea on his tiny tot during a recent interview.
Chatting with The New York Times (because where else does one casually discuss diaper changes and bedtime stories?), Al got sentimental about how his little guy is “coming into the world more now.” Yes, Roman is officially doing baby things like…learning. Yep, that’s it. Learning. The suspense is killing us, Al! Is it walking? Talking? Mastering the art of Pacino-level smoldering stares? Only time will tell.
But wait, there’s more! Al admitted that Roman has become one of his muses, right up there with pizza and dramatic monologues. His son is apparently a driving force behind his upcoming memoir, Sonny Boy. You can practically hear Al saying, “Just when I thought I was out…they pull me back in!” except this time, it’s about story time and bedtime routines.
In a plot twist worthy of his own movies, Al confessed that Roman has inspired him to “stick around a little longer” – because let’s face it, who wouldn’t want to hang around and see what kind of world domination their mini-me will achieve? Pacino’s still got a few tricks up his sleeve…and Roman’s one of them.
