Al Pacino credits daughter for his Oscar in 'Scent of a Woman'
Academy Award winner Al Pacino shared how his four kids, including his 2-year-old Roman, have impacted his work as an actor. While talking about the positive impact his kids have had on his acting career, E! News quoted him as saying, "A lot of my work had a little improvement because of them." Pacino, who is dad to Julie Marie, 35, with ex Jan Tarrant, 24-year-old twins Anton and Olivia with actress Beverly D'Angelo; and Roman, 2, with ex Noor Alfallah, explained how Julie influenced his Oscar-winning performance in the 1992 movie Scent of a Woman. "I was playing a blind man, and I remember my oldest daughter was at the time 3," the actor continued. "I visited blind institutions and they were great to me," reported E! News. "I said to my daughter, 'Hey, Julie, do a blind person. Can you do a blind person for me?'" the Oscar winner recalled. "She did it and I thought, 'Wow, I can't do this because kids are geniuses.' They have that genius and she was blind and she just did it, no preparation, nothing." But, in addition to his children motivating his work as an actor, as evidenced in his new film The Ritual, currently in theatres, Pacino has been vocal about how his youngest son has given him a renewed feeling of vitality. "I want to be around for this child. And I hope I am," he said in October. "I hope I stay healthy, and he knows who his dad is, of course." Roman's youthfulness is so much fun for Pacino to engage with, even if it's on a video call, reported E! News. "Everything he does is real," he explained. "Everything he does is interesting to me. So, we talk. I play the harmonica with him on the other video thing, and we have made this kind of contact. So, it's fun." In addition to the fun Pacino has been having with his 2-year-old, he continues to find joy in his work, like he did while working on The Ritual. "I loved it and it was a privilege to have this opportunity," he continued in his interview with E! News. "You never think that until afterward because it's such a struggle doing films--it's not easy work. But at the same time, it's great." Pacino added, "I looked forward to going in. It's difficult when you don't look forward to going to work. I've had those experiences, yes, but I had [fun] on this one."
