Meet Al Pacino, Male Gigolo. The 69-year-old film legend has confessed that as a young struggling actor he once sold his body in exchange for food and shelter.
Pacino — who would go on to star in classic motion pictures like The Godfather Trilogy, Scarface, and Carlito’s Way — had been living in his family’s native Sicily after dropping out of school to pursue his dream of acting.
“At 20, I lived in Sicily by selling the only asset I had – my body,” Pacino told The New York Post Monday. “An older woman traded food and housing in return for sex. I woke mornings not really loving myself.”
The critically-acclaimed actor is set to play right-to-die doc Jack Kevorkian in an upcoming HBO biopic set to start shooting later this year.
In 1999, Kevorkian was famously sentenced to a federal prison term as a result of his involvement in an assisted suicide that was videotaped and later shown on 60 Minutes. He was released after serving eight years.
Al Pacino has signed on to appear in the latest 007 venture, James Bond: Quantum of Solace. The sixty-seven year old screen legend is reportedly set to play the head of the international terrorist group first introduced in Casino Royale. Read the rest of this entry »
