In his recently released memoir, "Sonny Boy," legendary actor Al Pacino opens up about a shocking incident that happened early in his career. The 84-year-old star reveals that he was once kidnapped by a fan while he was heavily intoxicated.
Pacino recalls that he was out drinking with Richard Hackman, the brother of fellow actor Gene Hackman, during a cross-country trip. He had a few too many and ended up getting lost and unable to find his way back home. Fortunately, a kind woman offered to drive him home.
However, as they drove, Pacino realized that they were not heading towards his destination. Confused and alarmed, he asked the woman what was going on. To his shock, she revealed that she was kidnapping him.
Despite his inebriation, Pacino's street smarts kicked in and he immediately knew he had to get out of the car. He told the woman that he was not going to go along with her plan and even attempted to jump out of the moving vehicle. Thankfully, his determination was enough to convince the woman to take him back home.
Pacino explains that the incident happened when he was already famous for his role in "The Godfather," but he insists that the woman's actions were not just a sly attempt at seduction. Being from the tough South Bronx neighborhood, he knew how to handle threatening situations and was able to escape unharmed.
This memoir, released in October, has been filled with candid revelations from the iconic actor. In another chapter, Pacino shares a traumatic childhood memory where he was seriously injured by an iron fence. He still remembers the pain and the difficult recovery he had to endure.
Pacino also opens up about his financial struggles in the past, admitting that he was once "flat broke" due to a corrupt accountant. In 2011, he took on a role in Adam Sandler's film "Jack and Jill" out of necessity and not because he wanted to. However, he ended up enjoying the experience and becoming good friends with Sandler.
Now, with his finances back on track, Pacino acknowledges the importance of planning for the future and seeking advice from experts. He jokes that he has to rely on people who are smarter than him to handle his estate.
