Al Pacino’s Godfather III co-star George Hamilton says the actor faces a “very difficult” choice between his career and his newborn son.
Hamilton, 83, told DailyMail.com exclusively that his fellow actor would only have “a few years” with his fourth child whom he welcomed earlier this year with girlfriend Noor Alfallah.
He also addressed the controversy surrounding the birth of Pacino’s son, given the actor’s advanced age, saying that “women of a certain age are offended by it.”
“Al is one of my best friends, we were on Godfather and we were in Italy together all the time,” Hamilton told DailyMail.com.

“He’s one of the best friends I’ve ever known. Al isn’t a selfish person and he doesn’t fill the room with himself – he’s so self-deprecating.’
As for the birth of Pacino’s son Romain earlier this month, the actor blamed older women for the controversy surrounding his son’s birth at age 83.
“I think there is a rift, women of a certain age are offended by this. It’s more straightforward when it comes to ego, I could understand,” he said at a dinner celebrating Hamilton’s new ambassador role at Gallery Gmurzynska.
‘The difficult thing is: what do you give a child at that age? It is very difficult. With me being an actor when I had a kid I knew I wanted to spend time with them and that’s the only gift you can give a kid.
“I know Al’s intention is to do that. But when you’re an actor like Al, you’re so stretched out in terms of work.
“But I know he’ll do his best, it’s just a shame we’re no longer alive.” But I think women don’t like it and women will say that to me.
“If I were in the same situation now, it would be very difficult: I would be torn between giving up my career and spending time with the kid, because that’s all the kid will have in those few years.”
When asked if he thought Pacino would end his career, Hamilton said: “No, I don’t think so, but I don’t think it’s going to work either. I think Al must be Al.’
