Al Pacino was a prostitute?

In his 20s?

I didn't know he had such a sordid past. High school dropout. Spent time in jail for possession of a weapon. At age 20, he traded sex for food and lodging. I wonder if he's lying about sleeping with an older woman and if it was instead an older man?

[quote] However Pacino, 69, admits he often awoke to regret his decision. He says, "At 20, I lived in Sicily by selling the only asset I had - my body. An older woman traded food and housing in return for sex. I woke mornings not really loving myself."

I don't find that too far fetched. Older women have "taken in" younger men before. Particularly widowed ones. He didn't say he was paid money, just given food and a place to stay. Women want more than just sex, most want companionship also. He could leave at any time.

Who knows, he might have had some males too and just doesn't want to admit it. He sure would've had a larger clientele and made money.

by Anonymousreply 38March 4, 2019 6:47 PM

My friend, a gay guy, found himself in a situation where the older lady who took him in wanted sex or at least some sort of sexual interaction with him.

My friend was homeless after a series of bad decisions and a family friend, a wealthy widow, offered him to live rent-free in her big house in exchange for walking her dog and doing some other light errands. My friend also had access to one of her cars and the work the lady required was minimal so he thought that he had it made. Except, after a few weeks, the old woman would burst in on him while he was in the shower, climb into bed with him, snuggle with him on the couch while stroking his leg, etc. He knew that the old bat wanted more than just a dog walker.

Of course, after rejecting the woman's advances one too many times, she came up with a reason to evict him with no warning. She accused him of stealing, started screaming and threatening to call the cops, and that was the end of that.

Maybe something similar happened to Al.

The more aware we are the more naïve we become or maybe it's a case of Oh please make it not be true!

There have never been any credible stories of Pacino hooking up with men. With closeted actors, there will always be stories because they’re not celibate, and people will talk. Nothing like that with Pacino.
