Al Pacino Says He Appeared in ‘Jack and Jill’ Because He Was ‘Broke’ and ‘F**ked’
Image
Finally, it seems we have an explanation as to why Al Pacino starred in Adam Sandler’s “Jack and Jill.”

The Al Dunkaccino rap has lived rent free in many a cinephile’s minds since the infamously maligned film came out in 2011. Now, Pacino is claiming that he only took on the role because he lost all of his finances as part of Ponzi scheme.

“I was broke. I had $50 million, and then I had nothing,” Pacino wrote in his memoir “Sonny Boy,” citing that he started “to get warnings that my accountant at the time, a guy who had lots of celebrity clients, was not to be trusted” circa 2011.

Pacino said that he “had property, but I didn’t have any money” due to his over-spending. Perhaps he shouldn’t have turned down “Star Wars”….

“In this business, when you make $10 million dollars for a film, it’s not $10 million.

Robert De Niro, 80, shared a smile with his social media followers as he posed with his new daughter, 10-month-old Gia. The legendary actor parented baby Gia with his partner, film producer and martial arts instructor Tiffany Chen. The two tend to keep a low-profile relationship and went public in 2021.

De Niro said he sees “a lot of similarity” between his younger self and his new daughter. Reminiscing on an old picture of him and his father, he told People, “It reminds me of my two youngest little girls… I see it also in one of my grandkids.”

The father of seven could not contain his joy about being a dad again. “The fact that they’d all be together is everything to me,” he said.

Robert De Niro Tears Up Discussing Being a Dad to Baby Gia, Says It’s “Wondrous”

Living screen legend Robert De Niro became uncharacteristically verklempt while discussing his newborn daughter in an interview this week, telling AARP that parenting his baby girl is “wondrous.”

“I’m an 80-year-old dad and it’s great,” De Niro told the magazine for its latest cover story. “Everything that I’m consumed with or worried about… this and that… just goes away when I look at her.”

At that point in the sit-down, which mostly covered De Niro’s seven-decade-spanning career, working with Martin Scorsese and their latest, the Oscar-nominated Killers of the Flower Moon, the veteran actor and nine-time Oscar contender began to tear up. “That in itself is wondrous.”

De Niro, traditionally affable but solidly stoic while discussing his life and work, then quickly composed himself as he shared details about his growing bond with his baby girl; he even compared the experience to time with the daughter...

Robert De Niro reportedly reprising Taxi Driver character Travis Bickle for Uber ad campaign

Robert De Niro has played plenty of amazing roles throughout his career, but one of the most iconic is Travis Bickle from Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver. According to The Sun, the actor is set to reprise the role as Travis Bickle in a series of Uber commercials currently being filmed in London.

If someone trots out their Robert De Niro impression, chances are extremely good that “You talkin’ to me?” is the first thing out of their mouths. I’m not typically a betting man, but I’ve got to imagine that we’ll be hearing Robert De Niro utter that iconic Travis Bickle line yet again in the Uber commercials. Insiders added that Uber is hoping to include “famous passengers as cameos” in the campaign as well.

Al Pacino Will Become a Dad Again at 83 Years Old
Image
Longtime friends and sometimes co-stars Al Pacino and Robert De Niro will soon be able to set up playdates with their children. Just weeks after it was reported that De Niro had just welcomed his seventh child at the age of 79, TMZ reports that Pacino will very soon become a dad for the fourth time as well. The 83-year-old actor is expecting his first child with 29-year-old girlfriend Noor Alfallah, who is already eight months along, very close to giving birth. According to TMZ, the Godfather star and Alfallah have been dating for just over a year, and the news took Pacino by surprise.

Pacino has never been married, though he previously fathered 33-year-old Julia with Jan Tarrant, who he'd been dating in the late 1980s. He later had twins, 22-year-old Olivia and Anton, with actress Beverly D'Angelo; the pair were romantically linked in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

By the time she made her way to a cramped room, she was naked, standing in front of nearly a dozen male cast and crew members including Josh and Benny Safdie.

Robert De Niro Has Absolutely No Plans To Retire From Acting Anytime Soon (Exclusive)
A few days shy of his 75th birthday on Aug. 17, Robert De Niro hit the beach in Santa Monica, CA and took a dip in the Pacific.

Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence had the support of their parents for the NYC premiere of Joy on Sunday night.

Russell comedy-drama, was accompanied by his lovely mother, Gloria Campano: the pair smiled for the cameras just days after they were spotted taking a stroll through the city together, wearing matching plaid outfits.

Jack Nicholson selling off blaze site
Jack Nicholson is selling a plot of land where his house burned down. 'The Departed' actor's 1,300-square-foot Hollywood Hills house went up in flames back in September 2011, and the damage was so bad he razed the plot with a bulldozer. The plot is listed at $595,000, TMZ reports. Before the fire Jack - estimated to be worth some $400 million - had been renting out the property which stood on it. He originally bought the plot in 1975 for just $49,000, so could stand to make a considerable profit. Jack, 75, is not the only actor who's had trouble with their house burning down recently.
