Al Pacino is one of the most iconic actors in the world.
He has many years of experience on his belt and it’s safe to say that this man has done it all.
But this week, it’s his personal life that’s hitting the headlines.
He’s expecting his fourth child at age 83!
And the news has divided the online community.
“This is so selfish. A child needs their father and for a good deal of their life, to be denied is so very sad,” one wrote.
“Congratulations to him on his new baby. No matter the woman’s intentions, at least there will be a little Al Pacino left when he’s gone, & I’m so hoping his child survives him & goes on to be great himself/herself!!!” another added.
A third offered: “She is 29 and he is 83….remember love has no boundaries…apparently…I’m sure it is true love, and he has a prenup in place and she won’t want a penny from him for herself!”
“He is competing with his old colleague, Bob De Niro.
They are both trying to ‘outdo’ each other one last time Before the Final ‘curtain call,’” another opined.
Another added: “Is he nuts? Poor child.”
And that’s not all …
Friends of the couple have now spoken out about those gold digger rumors.
Scroll on to see what they have to say …
Al Pacino is one of the most timeless actors out there.
The actor and filmmaker’s career spans over 5 decades.
Making him a very much loved face in the world of showbiz.
Pacino was brought up in a relatively normal family environment in the Bronx.
With his mother and grandparents.
As a teenager, he went by the nickname “The Actor.”
And he attended the High School of Performing Arts… much to his mother’s disapproval.
He worked casual jobs such as being a messenger, a janitor, and a postal clerk to fund his way through school and college.
Then came a big break.
Pacino successfully auditioned for The Actor’s Studio.
This is a membership organization for professional actors.
And this is also where he met acting coach Lee Strasberg, who would later appear with Pacino in some of his most iconic movies.
Pacino’s big break came when he landed a role as a heroin addict in The Panic in the Needle Park (1971).
Which ultimately caught the attention of director Francis Ford Coppola.
It was Coppola who landed Pacino his role in The Godfather in 1972…
And believe it or not, Pacino landed this life-changing role over the likes of Jack Nicholson, Robert Redford, and Robert De Niro.
After his role in The Godfather…
He went on to star in many more big movies such as Serpico (1973), The Godfather Part II (1974), Bobby Deerfield (1977), Scarface (1983), The Godfather Part III (1990), and The Devil’s Advocate (1997).
And he has won countless awards.
Including Academy Awards, Tony Awards, an Emmy Award, and an Oscar.
So there’s no denying …
That Al Pacino is a very successful man.
Including in his personal life!
Despite never being married, Pacino has previously fathered 3 children. His eldest child is Julie Marie, who was born in 1989 to acting coach Jan Tarrant.
Plus …
Anton James and Olivia Rose, who were born to actress Beverly D’Angelo, who Pacino was romantically involved with between 1996-2003.
He’s also dated many women.
Including the likes of Tuesday Weld, Jill Clayburgh, Marthe Keller, and a 10-year relationship with actress Lucila Polak.
And now, there’s been an exciting announcement.
As Pacino is set to become a father for the fourth time.
He parted ways with ex-Meital Dohan in 2019.
And since then has been dating Noor Alfallah.
A source told Page Six: “Pacino and Noor started seeing each other during the pandemic.”
“She mostly dates very rich older men… She has been with Al for some time and they get on very well.”
“The age gap doesn’t seem to be a problem, even though he is older than her father.”
“She moves with the wealthy jet-set crowd, and she comes from a family with money.”
TMZ has confirmed that the pair are expecting a baby!
But they’ve also reported that Pacino initially demanded a paternity test.
Pacino was reportedly “shocked.”
As he “had medical issues that would have commonly prevented a man from impregnating a woman.”
The paternity test did indeed proof Pacino was the father.
And now, friends of the couple have opened up about the rumors Noor is a gold digger.
“She is a good girl with an old soul, but she has a spirit that is very youthful. She is fun,” an Alfallah source told Page Six.
“A guy in his 70s or 80s would feel young around her. She has a generosity of spirit.”
She “is no gold digger. She’s a very decent, good person.”
“She is very positive and not an opportunist,” they concluded. “She loves old people and these guys are fascinating.
