Al Pacino, 85, gets VERY cozy with another woman decades younger than him as legendary star films in Rome
Al Pacino grinned ear to ear when he got a kiss from a young woman in Rome on Monday.
The 85-year-old cinema icon — who was recently trolled for a fashion faux pas at a meeting with the new pope — was spotted dropping by the restaurant Il Bolognese in Piazza del Popolo for dinner when he received a smooch from the Italian journalist Caterina Di Terlizzi, who is several decades younger than the Godfather star.
His dinner outing comes amid his visit to the Eternal City to film the auto-themed biopic Maserati: The Brothers.
Al seemed to be in fine spirits when he was seen at the restaurant in an all-black ensemble featuring a casual black shirt and a thin jacket, along with baggy sweatpants and and black-and-white trainers.
He could have been trying to stand in for his friend Leonardo DiCaprio — who once dated the daughter of his former partner Lucila Polak — as he wore a simple black baseball cap, which is a standard item for the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood star.
Al, who also covered up with reflective aviator sunglasses, appeared to be sitting next to Di Terlizzi while they chatted at a table with their other guests.
Both were pictured smiling, and at one point she wrapped one arm around him and turned in for a big smooch on his cheek while resting her hand on his as he beamed pleasantly.
After the kiss, the Oscar winner leaned over to give her a hug.
Later, the Italian journalist was spotted taking a break to smoke a cigarette, and Pacino whipped out his phone, revealing that he is still using the comical Shrek case which went viral among fans in recent years.
According to Di Terlizzi's LinkedIn page, she has worked as a freelance journalist for NBC News for the past two years after receiving her master's degree in Journalism and Multimedia Communication in 2023.
Pacino's run-in with the young journalist comes after he welcomed his fourth child with his ex-girlfriend Noor Alfallah in June 2023, just over two years earlier.
Fans were shocked at the time due to the actor's advanced age when his son Roman was born, especially as Pacino's representative confirmed that he and his then-girlfriend were expecting their first child together just a month after his good friend Robert De Niro, 81, welcomed his own baby — his seventh — with his 46-year-old girlfriend Tiffany Chen.
In addition to baby Roman, Pacino shares his oldest daughter, 35-year-old Julie, with the acting coach Jan Tarrant, and he has 24-year-old fraternal twins with his ex Beverly D'Angelo, whom he dated from 1997 to 2003.
Al's ex-girlfriend Noor was spotted last month when she took their son — who has turned out to be a dead ringer for his famous father — out for a fun day at a park in Los Angeles.
In March 2004, Noor told Vogue Arabia that she and the Cruising star had bonded over their shared love of movies.
'Al lives down the street from my house and we started spending every day together, playing chess and watching movies. It was like film school with Al Pacino,' she recalled. 'I guess it just became something more.'
She graduated from the University of Southern California's Cinematic School of Arts and went on to get a master's degree in film/TV producing from UCLA, according to Deadline, which she has used to great effect as a film and television producer.
She has also been linked to men several decades older than her in the past, including Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, whom she dated when he was 74 and she was 22.
Although the end of Noor and Al's relationship is fuzzy, he confirmed in October of last year that they now have only a 'friendship' as they co-parent their young son.
