Al Pacino Is Daddy Again
Welcome to the world, Roman Pacino, son of living legend Al Pacino, 83, and Noor Alfallah, 29. Pacino’s representation confirmed on Thursday that their child was born. Page Six speculated about what day the baby was born, having spotted a car seat in a photograph of the couple’s vehicle taken on Wednesday after they dined out in Los Angeles. But what does a couple of days matter in the arching yawn of one’s life? This is something Al Pacino can teach his son, surely. Life is long. Don’t sweat the small stuff.
What matters is that the baby is here, and Pacino has entered the old dads club, along with fellow actor Robert De Niro, who just welcomed a child at 79, and Mick Jagger, who had his most recent kid at 73. (Coincidentally, Noor Alfallah also dated Jagger for a time.) Rupert Murdoch was 72 when his daughter with now-ex Wendi Deng was born. Clint Eastwood and Rod Stewart were practically young bucks at 66 when they had children. It’s a decorated club,and the club house serves dinner promptly at 5 p.m.
Pacino, who was born in 1940, is a fan of fatherhood, though he grew up without his own father in the picture. “I get a lot from it,” he told The New Yorker in 2014 about having kids. “It takes you out of yourself. When I do a movie, and I come back, I’m stunned for the first twenty minutes. These people are asking me to do things for them? Huh? I’m not being waited on? Wait a minute. Uh-oh, it’s about them! That action satisfies. I like it.”
Mr. Godfather has three other adult children. He has twins, Anton and Olivia, 22, whose mother is actor Beverly D’Angelo, and he shares Julie Marie, 33, with acting coach Jan Tarrant.
Though amenable to fatherhood, he’s less keen on marriage. Pacino told the Irish Independent in 2012 that marriage is “a state of mind, not a contract” and “When I think about the law and marriage, I ask myself, When did the cops get involved?”
