Al Pacino: Happy to act his age
HERE’S a meme doing the rounds depicting acting legends Al Pacino and Christopher Walken in 2012’s The Stand Up Guys, with their trousers a little too high and their faces a little too grouchy.
‘Grumpy old men: awesome edition,’ it’s captioned. It’s what springs to mind when seeing Al Pacino for the first time, in the glare of epilepsy-inducing flashlights at the London premiere of Danny Collins. With his wild charcoal-grey hair, a guiding arm on his elbow and glazed look, you’d be forgiven for thinking he’s entered old age. It turns out that’s just the effect of the hectic red carpet. And his hair.
