Actor Al Pacino considers fatherhood at 84 a “mini miracle”when talking about the arrival of her last child, Roman, who is 16 months old.
“It’s wonderful to have children. I loved it,” she says. “It changed me for, if you want to say, better. It changed me for my entire life. And the idea that you are putting your attention on other human beings who are your children… there is love,” the actor stressed in a interview with PEOPLE magazine.
Pacino welcomed his youngest child in June 2023. When asked how fatherhood feels different this time around, he said. “Well, it’s always the same. It’s always the same. It’s a mini miracle. That’s all I can say.”
PEOPLE remembers that Al Pacino has had many iconic roles throughout his career: Michael Corleone in “The Godfather”, Tony Montana in “Scarface” and Frank Serpico in “Serpico”, to name a few.
However, being a father is perhaps his most rewarding role of all. In his new memoir, ‘Sonny Boy,’ Pacino writes fondly about his four children: 34-year-old Julie (with acting coach Jan Tarrant), 23-year-old twins Anton and Olivia (with actress Beverly D’ Angelo) and 16-month-old Roman (with producer Noor Alfallah).
‘Sonny Boy’, on sale this October, is “the memoirs of a man who no longer has anything to fear and even less to hide, and in its pages all his great roles, essential collaborations and important relationships receive deserved attention, as well as the controversial link between creativity and the commercial side of the business,” according to the publisher.
The common thread in the narration of this story is his love and determination towards cinema.
