Al Pacino is plagued by remorse
A friend of Al Pacino told the Daily Mail that the actor was plagued by strong remorse after the news of the death of his former partner and close friend. “The Godfather” actor would “forever regret not taking his chance with her when he had it.” According to the source, Pacino is said to have said, even years after the breakup, that it was “never too late for a new beginning if something really happened” – this opportunity has now finally been taken away from him.
15 years of relationship and no wedding in sight
Al Pacino and Diane Keaton met on the set of The Godfather in 1972 – their roles in the trilogy made both of them famous. During the filming of “The Godfather II,” the colleagues’ chemistry increasingly spilled over into their private lives. From then on they were a couple – on and off – for 15 years. Their relationship ended in 1990 after the release of “The Godfather III”. The reason: According to Keaton, Al Pacino was said to be not ready for marriage.
Deep friendship instead of bad blood
In an interview with People, Keaton further explained that she believes it “wouldn’t have been a good idea” to get married. She’s “really glad” she didn’t do it and is sure her ex-partners – including Al Pacino – are “happy” about it too. In 2017, the “Scarface” actor presented Keaton, whom he affectionately called “Di,” the American Film Institute Lifetime Achievement Award. The Hollywood icon received the award for her outstanding cinematic achievements that sparked cultural change. Al Pacino ended his speech by saying, “I will always love you.”
