Al Pacino opened up about his special bond with his youngest son, Roman, in a recent interview with the BBC. The iconic actor shared that despite his age of 84, he has found immense joy in being a father to his 16-month-old son, who he co-parents with his former partner Noor Alfallah. With his upcoming autobiography Sonny Boy on the horizon, Pacino expressed how this new chapter in his life has been nothing short of extraordinary.
Even though Pacino and Alfallah no longer reside together, the actor emphasized the importance of staying connected with his son. “He sends me texts every now and then,” Pacino disclosed, highlighting the genuine interest he has in everything his little one does. Their interactions often involve Pacino playing the harmonica, creating a unique and enjoyable way for them to bond.
The motivation behind Pacino’s decision to pen his autobiography was largely fueled by his desire to be present in his son’s life during significant milestones. Reflecting on the unpredictability of life, Pacino expressed his hope to remain a constant figure in his son’s life and instill a lasting legacy for him to cherish.
The arrival of their son in June 2023 brought immense excitement to Pacino, who has always cherished the role of fatherhood. According to a source close to the actor, Pacino’s enthusiasm for being a dad again was palpable, showcasing his unwavering love for his children.
During an interview with The New York Times, Pacino humorously suggested that his son should start his acting journey by watching Adam Sandler’s film, “Jack and Jill,” in which Pacino made a cameo appearance. Reflecting on the timing of the cameo, Pacino shared how it provided a much-needed opportunity during a challenging financial period. Despite misconceptions about his involvement in a Dunkin’ Donuts commercial, Pacino clarified the humorous anecdote, emphasizing the unfair assumptions made about his cameo in the film.
