Maybe: “You look good to still be alive.” You can’t lie about your own age! Actually, that expression “You look good for your age” comes in. When celebrities have birthdays, it’s all over the news. Pacino: Well, this is what we’re plagued with, you have to understand.

If someone wants to know your age, they can look it up. What do you think that guy is? How much time does he have left?Īlso, you’re Al Pacino. Pacino: Yeah, when you leave, we’ll go over it.
#Al pacino in the godfather 1 movie#
(Somehow this is Pacino’s first role in a Scorsese film, and the first time the three men-along with their costars Pesci and Harvey Keitel-have made something all together.) The movie has the feel of an old and august gang reuniting for one last job and looking back, sometimes ambivalently, on many lifetimes of work about violence and love and loss. In The Irishman-based on Charles Brandt’s true-crime book I Heard You Paint Houses, about the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa (played in the film by Pacino) and the underworld into which he disappeared (represented by the hit man Frank Sheeran, played by De Niro)-the two men give surprisingly emotional performances, suffused by their history with each other and, in De Niro’s case, with Scorsese. In the interim, both De Niro and Pacino made innumerable classics, and also 2008’s Righteous Kill, the first film in which they shared multiple scenes. It wasn’t until most of the way through 1995’s Heat that they finally appeared in the same frame of the same film, facing off across a diner table, and even then it was for only a few electric minutes. In 1974 they both starred-in separate timelines that never intersect-in The Godfather Part II.
