Al Pacino is excited to become a father again at the age of 83.
The Godfather star is expecting a child with girlfriend Noor Alfallah, 29, who he was first linked to in April last year.
There’s not long to wait before the new arrival as Noor was understood to be eight months pregnant when the news broke last month.
Al has now spoken out about the news for the first time, saying it feels ‘really special’ to be becoming a father again in his eighties.
In a video, the actor is seen strolling down the street when he’s congratulated on expecting his newest child, and thanks the reporter with a smile.
He adds in the video obtained by the Daily Mail: ‘It’s very special, you know.
‘I’ve got many kids. But this is really special coming at this time.’
Oscar winner Al is already dad to Julie, 33, with ex Jan Tarrant, and to twins Anton and Olivia, 22, with Beverly D’Angelo.
He will become a father for a fourth time with girlfriend Noor, who has previously dated Rolling Stones legend Mick Jagger, 79, and billionaire Nicolas Berggruen, 61.
The news comes after Al’s ex, Meital Dohan, admitted they split after two years because the actor was not interested in having children.
She told the Mail at the time that the ‘incredibly love story’ ended because ‘we’re both at different places in our lives.’
‘Two years is a long time and I was like, “We love each other, but where is this going? I really want to have kids.”
‘It’s harder when someone’s that much older than you, because I still have a family to build, while he already has a family… at his age, it’s a rigid decision.’
Al’s baby news comes very shortly after his co-star Robert De Niro was announced to have welcomed a baby at the age of 79.
He welcomed a baby girl this year with girlfriend Gia Virginia Chen-De Niro, 64k making him a father for the seventh time.
Robert is also dad to Drena, 51, Raphael, 46, and twins Aaron and Julian, 27, as well as Elliot, 25, and Helen, 11, with three different women.
He recently congratulated Al on his own baby news, saying: ‘God bless him, I’m very happy for him.’
