At 84 years of age, All Al Pacino, the legendary Godfather actor, can think of is his legacy and mortality. One might wonder, it’s normal for older people to reflect on their past. However, Pacino’s reflection is not spurred by age but by the birth of his son, Roman, whom he fathered at 83.  Not only that, he took a step further and put pen to paper to write his autobiography, Sonny Boy, so Roman can connect with him through his words, in case the inevitable happens before the 16-month-old boy’s grown.  Al Pacino on aging HE GODFATHER CODA: THE DEATH OF MICHAEL CORLEONE, (aka THE GODFATHER: PART III), Al Pacino, 1990 / Everett The memoir, which he titled the nickname his mother gave him, details his alcohol addiction during the peak of his career and his brief brush with death after he contracted COVID-19. Pacino’s history with alcohol started at the beginning of his career when he used alcohol as his companion to navigate the trying times of being a rising star.  When Pacino finally became a household name in 1972 for his role in The Godfather, his troubles became dealing with the unexpected spotlight, and alcohol was his crutch during this period as well.  SCARFACE, Al Pacino, 1983 / Everett The break in the camel’s back came in 1983 when he acted in Scarface; the psychological impact of the role made him face reality, and he decided to have a turnaround.

I didn’t have a pulse.” Al Pacino / Everett Thankfully, the paramedics revived the star to continue the six movies he’s currently working on.
