Al Pacino Reveals Inspiring Acting Advice and How to Survive in Hollywood
In a recent interview with the Guardian, Al Pacino revealed inspiring acting tips and personal details about becoming an actor in Hollywood. The 74 year old actor revealed that he was once homeless and that it is extremely difficult to walk around because he is so famous.
Here are some of the highlights from the interview:
I’ve learned to live without anonymity. I haven’t been in a grocery store or subway for years. It’s hard for my children to go out publicly with me. Fame is different now than it was 20 years ago – I don’t know what the hell it is now! If I have a rare time of being somewhere and not being recognised, it’s a luxury.
It’s never been about money for me. There were times when I was young when I could have used money: after college I was often unemployed and at one time I slept in a storefront for a few days. But I’ve never been materialistic. Except that I am, of course, because my lifestyle makes me a spender!
The interview is a great especially for an actor who made his acting debut in 1969 in the movie ‘Me, Natalie’. Since then he has made his mark in Hollywood playing criminals, police officers, and lawyers. Check out the full interview here.
