Legendary actor Al Pacino is expecting another child with his girlfriend, who is already eight months pregnant, according to reports. Pacino, of course, is now 83 years old, while his girlfriend Noor Alfallah is 29 years old.
The news that Pacino’s girlfriend is expecting comes just weeks after his 79-year-old pal and fellow acting legend Robert De Niro gave birth to his seventh child.
Given the advanced ages of both De Niro and Pacino, the internet had quite predictable reactions to the news that they’re both becoming new fathers in their 80s.

It’s been a couple of years since movie fans have seen Pacino on the big screen, as he last appeared in Ridley Scott’s House of Gucci back in 2021. Prior to that, he made appearances in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and starred in Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman back in 2019.
De Niro, on the other hand, has remained prolific as ever in recent years. Last year, he starred in two films, including the David O. Russell-directed and star-studded bomb Amsterdam.

His 29-year-old girlfriend says she expects a lot of napping, soiled diapers and incoherent babbling. And the baby will be a handful, as well.” pic.twitter.com/u8onM2HVjG

The Oscar winner also has another two projects lined up for 2023, as he’s starring in the family comedy About My Father alongside Sebastian Maniscalco and in Martin Scorsese’s Killer of the Flower Moon in a role that looks like it could have him contending for another Academy Award.

Killers of the Flower Moon, which also features fellow Best Actor winners Leonardo DiCaprio and Brendan Fraser alongside Jesse Plemons, Lily Gladstone, and John Lithgow, will hit movie theaters in the United States on Friday, October 20.
In the coming years, De Niro is also set to appear in films such as Inappropriate Behavior, Tin Soldier, and Wise Guys, the latter of which will see him play dual roles in the Barry Levinson-directed film. Pacino, on the other hand, isn’t currently attached to anything.
