Al Pacino Reveals Kidnapping Attempt in Memoir

In his memoir 'Sonny Boy', Al Pacino recounts a terrifying near-kidnapping incident from his early career that occurred after a night of heavy drinking with Richard Hackman, brother of actor Gene Hackman. At the time, the 84-year-old actor was unable to find his way home when a woman offered him a ride, which quickly turned sinister when she admitted, 'I’m kidnapping you.' Recognizing the danger, Pacino drew on his South Bronx upbringing to bluff his way out, threatening to jump from the moving vehicle if she did not stop. Ultimately, his act of defiance succeeded, and she relented, safely returning him home. The incident highlights the risks faced by celebrities and offers a glimpse into Pacino's experiences during his rise to fame.
