The world-famous American actor and director Alfredo James (Al) Pacino was most remembered by the roles of gangsters - Tony Montana in the film Brian De Palme "Scarface" and Michael Corleone in the trilogy of the famous Francis Ford Coppola "Godfather". He made his acting debut in the movie in 1969, when he first played a supporting role in the film "I, Natalie." In 1971, the actor caught a key role in the film "Panic in Needle Park." It was after this drama that the actor noticed Coppola, and we fell in love with him as a gangster.
American and Italian
As a child, the actor lived in the Bronx, where, according to many, hundreds of nationalities immediately mixed up. The boy's favorite pastime in the evenings was that he liked climbing the roof and listening to all kinds of cues that came from the open windows of the houses. On a sunny day at school the boy looked at the swarthy Italian and thought of himself: "But I'm also Italian!" And for today, already being rich of the abnormal, Señor Pacino tries as often as possible to visit sunny Italy.
By the way, half Italian Alfredo Pacino appeared nashvet in America, in New York. And it happened on April 25, 1940. The boy was the only child in the Italian-Italian family Salvatore and Rose Pacino. As soon as the baby turned two, his parents divorced. Rose Pacino, having taken her child, moved to live with her parents in the Bronx. At that moment of life, there was much to be desired: three rooms for 10 people, a diet of water and water, and in the role of the educator a very strict grandmother with a peculiar kind of a man. But these same conditions did not prevent the boy from finding in himself an actor's talent, which developed at the moment of communication between the boy and his aunts (communication with the help of gestures and facial expressions).
All his isolation of the outer and inner space of the boy compensated for his truly turbulent imagination: Alfredo Pacino loved to tell his classmate about how his childhood is full of all unusual adventures. At one point the teacher heard these stories and were touched to the bottom of his heart, decided to send the future actor to the school for the study of art. Alfredostal's first children's role was the voice: behind the scenes the boy was asked to reproduce the sound that the person produces at the time of severe nausea. The boy did it. But so masterly that everyone forgot about the performance and rushed to help the young little actor.
After that there was an acting studio, a play on the theatrical scaffold of Broadway. This can also include the first award for the role of a drug addict in the play under the title "Does a tiger wear a tie?".
Al Capuchcino
It was this nickname that gave the actor friends because of his incredible love of coffee. His noma is an infinite number of cups a day. Such a love for coffee at the lord Pachino was born at the moment of his playing in small performances at cafes and small theaters. He often spent the night in the back of the cafeteria and drank coffee alone. By the way, the food at that time was worth for the beginning actor is expensive, but the hot drinks were to him quite pokramanu.
Actor Chris O'Donnell, who was Al Pacinopo's partner in the film "The Scent of a Woman" about his friend-caffeine, responds like this: "Pacino's" owl "is his nature. His appearance always reminds you, as if he had a lot of things to do with him. On the set, he always comes with the words: "God, I could not sleep for a second!" Of course, who would have doubted it. I myself have not once witnessed how, after midnight, drinking coffee with liters! ".
The curious fact is that coffee has been the strongest drink that the actor uses for twenty years. In the period from thirty to forty years Al Pacino not only drank, but also used drugs, explaining all this by the fact that he is trying to overcome the suddenness of his fame and calm his shattered nerves.
"One hundred feet above the land of insurance"
At the time of filming, the actor is always completely reincarnated as a hero. This he even frightens his colleagues in the acting department. AlPachino's partner in the film "The Sea of Love" Elen Barkin once confessed that Pachinotak managed to scare him, that his hands were shaking for a long time. And one of the directors who offered the actor to play the bandit, said: "There is so much hidden violence in this man that he was able to destroy the line beyond which the viewer can feel comfortable. Of course, I understand that he is an actor and performs his work, but I myself was scary from his reincarnation ... "Pacinone only enters the role, he lives in it and dies in it. At the time of the filming of the "Serpico" thriller, the actor communicated with real cops, and even the speed prohibition tried to arrest some driver. When the game was played, he undertook to explain to his acquaintance the difficult contract, but taking the document with the hands, he realized that he was not a lawyer. But playing a blind colonel in the film "The Smell of a Woman", once leaving the shooting site, the actor fell and damaged his eyes. After this incident, Al Pacino stated that, while preparing for this role, he was trying to defocus his eyesight, so at the moment it was, you might say, blind because of what he forgot to screw up his eyes. Entering the king, he seems to forget about everything around. His bruises are not cinematic, but most real. During the work in the film "Above the fight," the actor slipped and broke his nose. And shortly before the shooting of Justice for All fell, the gunner fell in the film Carlito's Way to his eye, discharging a gun (lucky that the cartridges were idle). And finally, water from the films of the famous Copolly so much I managed to get lost in the wires, that after flying into the searchlight, I stuffed myself a huge bump.
"Love does not know and was destroyed"
When the conversation turns to love, Al Pacino always cites these words of Shakespeare. About the personal life of the actor does not particularly like to talk, so everyone is always tormented by the question of who the next woman is for him, in the company where he appears in public. All ladies always want to see this man-like husband. Actress Beverly D'Angelo lived with him for 5 years, but the actor left her. For a whole decade, Diane Keaton was in his heart, until she asked him to marry nannies. Al Pacino has three children. The first child, the girl Julia, was given to him by Jana Terent, who was a teacher of dramatic art. But only to recognize his paternity, the actor passed the DNA examination. And in 2001, Beverly D'Angelo gave him two twins - Olivia and Anthony. At the moment, he acted to do everything to devote most of his time to his children.
In 2011, the Internal Revenue Service for the actor was a pawn-off, due to his huge dog-state due to unpaid taxes. Representative AlPachino all the blame shifted to ex-business manager Kenneth Stahr. In the course of the trip, it was found out that this man had not only peddled Segior Pachino around the finger, but also Sylvester Stallone and Uma Thurman. As a result, the charges against the actors were completely dropped.
