Al Pacino reflects on an unpleasant childhood memory. The 84-year-old Oscar winner details the injury she suffered when she was 10 in her new memoir.sunny boy,
Pacino called the incident involving his penis “one of the most embarrassing experiences of my life”.
“I seem to be cheating death on a regular basis,” the actor writes in the first chapter of the book. People“I was like a cat with more than nine lives. “I have had more accidents and mishaps than I can count.”
The story about which Pacino is “hesitating to tell now” is as follows: “I was walking on a thin, iron fence, dancing on the rope. It had been raining all morning, and certain Suddenly, I slipped and fell, and the iron rod hit me directly between my legs.”
“I was in so much pain that I could barely walk home,” the author said. An old man saw me writhing on the street, picked me up and took me to an aunt’s apartment. Once upon a time, a young Pacino and his family were waiting for a doctor to arrive for a house call.
Pacino wrote, “I was lying there in bed, with my pants all the way down around my ankles, as three women in my life – my mother, my aunt, and my grandmother – were looking at my penis in great consternation. She was there and provoking.” “I thought, Oh God, please take me now, when I heard them whispering to each other while I was observing.”
As the “Scarface” star said, his penis “remains intertwined with trauma.”
He added, “To this day I get upset thinking about it.”
“Sonny Boy” also tells several other stories from Pacino’s childhood, including a brief period with his divorced parents. As a child, he also spent time stealing food and jumping subway turnstiles with friends.
“Making mischief and running away from the authorities was our pastime,” he writes.

‘Godfather’ star told the new York Times He was “sitting in my house and I was gone” after reportedly fainting while battling the virus in 2020.
“I had no pulse,” he shared in an interview published earlier this month. “Within minutes they were there – the ambulance in front of my house. There were about six paramedics in that living room of mine, and two doctors, and they had costumes on that looked like they were from outer space or something.
“I didn’t see the white light or anything,” he added. “Nothing here. I never thought about it in my life. But you know actors: It feels good to say that I’m a The bar is dead. What is it when there is nothing else?”
Despite some tough times, the “Dog Day Afternoon” actor finds solace in having his kids — Julie, 34; twins Anton and Olivia, 23; and Roman, born in 2023 – as his “consolation”, and his extensive work as his legacy.
As he said, “It is what it is.”
“I didn’t ask for it. It just comes, like a lot of things just come,” Pacino said, before adding that he did not find the subject of death “morbid.”
