Al Pacino, 84, shares son Roman, one, is ‘learning new things’ and has ‘come into the world a little more’

Al Pacino says his one-year-old son Roman is “learning new things” and “coming into the world a little more” as he gets older.

The Scarface actor became one of the oldest known new dads in the world when his girlfriend Noor Alfallah, 30, gave birth to Roman in June 2023.

Now their baby has become a toddler, and Al is keeping an eye on the legacy he will leave for his youngest child.

He revealed that Roman’s arrival was part of what spurred his decision to write his memoir Sonny Boy, which will be published next week.

In the book, the Oscar-winning actor has written a passage in which he “muses about” his son, he revealed in a new interview with the New York Times.

The Godfather star revealed that Roman was “obviously one of the reasons” he decided to put his story between the covers.

“And that’s been a campaign for me to stay a little longer if I can,” added Al, who suffered a near-fatal bout of COVID-19 in 2020.

When asked if his decision to have a child at age 83 was a result of coming face to face with his own mortality, Al was perplexed.

‘Wow, that was something. I really have to think about that. Don’t know. Maybe? I don’t even understand it,” he said, leaving the door open to the possibility.

When Roman gets old enough to start watching his father’s movies, Al thinks he should “start with” the Adam Sandler comedy Jack And Jill.

During the 2011 Thanksgiving romp, Al makes a cameo playing himself, in a parody of a cheesy Dunkin’ Donuts commercial.

‘I find that funny. It came at a time in my life when I needed it because I found out I had no money left. My accountant was in jail and I needed something fast. So I took this,” Al recalled.

In 2010, Al’s ex-financial advisor Kenneth Starr was sentenced to seven years in prison on a series of charges, including money laundering and fraud.

Kenneth, who had a string of famous clients over the years, was found to have run a $33 million Ponzi scheme and was nicknamed “mini-Madoff.”

Jack And Jill was apparently a necessary windfall for Al in the aftermath of the scandal, although the film had one negative side effect.

“There’s something I do in that movie: They had me do a Dunkin’ Donuts commercial. Do you know how many people think I actually made that commercial?’ Al was surprised.

His new interview came two months after Noor made a rare public comment about their family situation, praising Al’s abilities as a parent.

She remained steadfastly private about her son – rarely allowing his face to be shown to the public – but described him as a “combination” of her and Al.

While out and about in Beverly Hills in August, she was asked if she would ever consider marrying Al, and she gave a surprising answer TMZ.

Noor had previously noted that she had no plans to walk down the aisle with Al, describing herself as “not the wedding type” in November 2023.

However, during her interview in August, she was asked again if she could tie the knot, and that time she replied, “I don’t know.”

Noor, who was reportedly born in Kuwait but raised in Beverly Hills, has full physical custody of Roman but shares legal custody with Al.

Under the terms of their agreement, Al Noor provided $110,000 in advance child support, according to court documents.

He was also scheduled to pay her at least $30,000 a month – an amount that could be increased depending on his income – plus $15,000 a year into an education fund.

Al also has three adult children: Julie, 34, with acting teacher Jan Tarrant, and twins Anton and Olivia, 23, with Coal Miner’s Daughter actress Beverly D’Angelo.

Noor and Al have been dating since at least April 2022, but were friends long before that and became especially close during the COVID-19 lockdowns.

“Al lives down the street from my house and we spent every day together, playing chess and watching movies,” she explained. Vogue Arabia.

“It was like film school with Al Pacino. “Have you ever seen Scarface?” he asked me. “No,” I replied, “although I know the rules. Say hello to my little friend.”

Her “favorite” film of his was Bobby Deerfield, a little-known 1977 romantic drama starring Swiss actress Marthe Keller, with whom he was in a relationship.

When Noor became pregnant, Al was reportedly ‘shocked’ and demanded a DNA test to prove his paternity as he believed he could not father a child due to his health problems, sources claim. TMZ.

It was reported that Noor acceded to Al’s request and agreed to undergo the test, which revealed that the baby was indeed his.

When Noor was 22, she famously dated Mick Jagger, then 74, but she has insisted their age difference ‘didn’t matter to me’.

She explained, “The heart doesn’t know what it sees, it only knows what it feels. It was my first serious relationship, but it was a happy time for me.’

Noor added that Mick was in ‘good shape’ for his age and described him as ‘much fitter than me. I really respect that he is so disciplined,” via Hello! magazine.

He has never been married but has been involved with a string of stars, including actresses Tuesday Weld and Jill Clayburgh and supermodel Veruschka.

Al also had a one-off romance with Diane Keaton, his love interest in The Godfather trilogy, who tried to persuade him to marry her but never succeeded.

She has said she “worked hard” to get him to commit and eventually left him in 1990 – the year The Godfather III was released – after issuing an ultimatum.

Diane revealed that she was “crazy about him” when they first met while filming the original Godfather movie in 1971, she said. People.

‘Charming, hilarious, a non-stop talker. There was an aspect of him that was like a lost orphan, some kind of crazy idiot savant,” she said. “And oh, beautiful!”
