LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The interest in Al Pacino's personal life has increased as he settles into getting ready to resume his fatherly responsibilities. Looking back on his life, the actor has experienced many remarkable experiences he would not want to revisit. The 83-year-old star, who is expecting his first kid with fiancée Noor Alfallah, 29, will become a father for the fourth time.
Pacino, who turned 83 in April, is the father of three children: twins with his ex-girlfriend Beverly D'Angelo and a daughter with his ex-girlfriend Jan Tarrant. As he prepares himself for another baby, here's an untold story that Pacino faced at the age of 20, which he never wants to live again.
Pacino was on his way to an acting job when police pulled him over
Al Pacino was just 20 years old when it occurred in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, on the evening of January 7, 1961. When he was stopped by numerous police officers, he was still a young actor who was traveling to an acting gig with two other actors, Vincent J Calcagni and Bruce Cohen.
The officers got suspicious about their car circling the block several times. When they approached the vehicle, the young actors had masks, gloves, and a .38 caliber pistol in the back seat, as reported by Vintagenewsdaily.
Al Pacino and his buddies were taken into custody, accused of having a hidden weapon, and were photographed for their mugshots. Additionally, it was claimed that their bond was set at $2,000. None of the three, however, was able to make the payment and was imprisoned. Pacino allegedly stayed behind bars for three days, as per reports.
Pacino was 'very helpful' when being questioned
Three days passed as Pacino, and his buddies waited to resolve the matter. The gun they had in the rear turned out to be fake. Police record state that Pacino was "very helpful" when being questioned, which is the opposite of how many of his characters could have acted. We fail to imagine Tony Montana assisting the police. But maintaining his composure undoubtedly helped the young legend in having the allegations against him finally dismissed, as reported by Looper.
Now, given that Pacino was a troublemaker and street child in his early adolescence, it's unlikely that he would be caught in such a questionable circumstance. Nevertheless, he finally put that life behind him and began an acting career lasting over 50 years after being cast as Michael Corleone in 'The Godfather' in 1972.
