Matthew McConaughey explaining his samurai beetle acting technique to Al Pacino and Robert De Niro is exactly the kind of unhinged energy I live for. Watching two acting titans try to process this is just hilarious. McConaughey: I look at myself and I go I'm a samurai beetle. Pacino:...

Al Pacino is 86 years old but he’s still contributing to Cinema. Pacino stars in the new release In The Hand of Dante, available now on Netflix. Pacino is probably the biggest reason I’m going to watch. I savor any role Pacino or Robert De Niro take on at this stage in life. Never, ever take their longevity for granted.

Doing a Robert De Niro impression is one thing. Doing it while Robert De Niro is sitting right beside you is another level of courage. 😂 Tom Hiddleston reenacts the famous Heat scene, playing both Pacino and De Niro — then De Niro actually applauds him. The funniest part? Tom is explaining the scene to the man who was literally in it. Would you have the nerve to do this?

50 Cent explains how he took over press duties on Righteous Kill after Robert De Niro and Al Pacino clashed over publicity "I was on Righteous Kill with De Niro and Pacino, and they had press and publicity to do." "Pacino wasn't doing much, and De Niro was like, 'I'm devaluing myself by running around doing this shit after he's not doing anything.'" "I looked at it a little different because it was an opportunity for me. I was in a film with Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, so I was looking at it like, 'I'll do it.'" "They didn't realize how many additional outlets would come because it was 50 Cent, and all the music side came." "It was me not missing an opportunity to make my audience understand that I was working with Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. They didn't have to do that their brands were strong enough for it to be a success anyway."

Matthew McConaughey says his parents were wild, lustful and complete outlaws. Howard Stern: “It seemed like a wild family. Your mom was a kindergarten teacher?” Matthew McConaughey: “Right. A teacher.” Howard Stern: “And she lived to what?” Matthew McConaughey: “She’s still alive. She just celebrated her 85th birthday.” Howard Stern: Yeah. “And your parents lived this lustful life” Matthew McConaughey: “They divorced twice, married three times, and were together for 39 years. Unbelievable. They were wild.” Howard Stern: “Even your dad always said, ‘I’m going to go out probably banging your mom.’” Matthew McConaughey: “He said, ‘Boys, when I go, I’m going to be making love to your mother.’ And he did. Called his shot. It happened at 6:30 a.m. on a Monday morning.” Howard Stern: “Then your mom said, “I want my man to be carried out of here nude because I want them to see the gift that was Jim McConaughey.” I mean… he must’ve had a big cock, right?” Matthew McConaughey: “Yeah. The paramedics are covering him up, all the neighbors are out in the street, and they’re taking him out through the garage. You know, the sensible thing to do at 7 a.m. is cover him. My mom’s out there, half-naked, ripping the sheet off him, yelling, ‘Get that sheet off of him! You’re going to see how big Jim went out!’ “They were badasses and complete outlaws.”

Matthew McConaughey says after being arrested naked in his own home he stayed naked all the way to the police station. Matthew McConaughey: “My house is one big room, my bed is in the middle the couch, office, kitchen and toilet also there, everything goes in there.” Matthew McConaughey: “So I put on some music, start jamming on the congas. Beautiful night in Austin, 68 degrees. Screen doors open, midnight-blooming jasmine in the backyard, smell blowing right in. Whole vibe, naked.” Howard Stern: “Wait. Your buddy didn’t think you being naked that was weird?” Matthew McConaughey: “No.” Howard Stern: “Come on. If you walk into some guy’s house and he’s naked, playing congas, what are you thinking?” Matthew McConaughey: “I’m telling you, Howard, being naked just feels better, man.” Howard Stern: “Did you have any idea the cops were there?” Matthew McConaughey: “No. I’m playing, and suddenly I sense somebody there. I look up and see two silhouettes. Then I realize they’re cops.” Howard Stern: “Two cops?” Matthew McConaughey: “Two. My first thought was, “What the hell are you doing in my house?” I’m pissed. I turn the music down, and one of them shines his flashlight on the coffee table There’s a bong. And that’s when things went bad” “He shines the light back on me, and next thing I know, I’m against the wall in handcuffs.” Howard Stern: “Did you resist arrest?” Matthew McConaughey: “I very much resisted.” Howard Stern: “You did?” Matthew McConaughey: “I’m in my own house, minding my own business.” Howard Stern: “With a bong and naked.” Matthew McConaughey: “Monkey business.” Howard Stern: “Did they drag you out naked?” Matthew McConaughey: “They offered me clothes. I refused.” Howard Stern: “You refused clothes?” Matthew McConaughey: “On principle. I said, “This is how you found me.” Howard Stern: “So you’re sitting naked in the back of a police car?” Matthew McConaughey: “Yeah.” Howard Stern: “Matthew McConaughey, naked, handcuffed, in the back of a cop car.” Matthew McConaughey: “And when we get to the precinct, I’m still naked. They’re trying to get me inside, and I’m like, “No, man. This is how you found me. I shouldn’t be here anyway.” Howard Stern: “And then what?” Matthew McConaughey: “This inmate looks at me and goes, “Man, put these on.” He hands me the prison pants.” Howard Stern: “And you said no?” Matthew McConaughey: “Yeah.” “He looks at me and says, “Please, man. Tomorrow you’ll be really happy if you put these on.”

Al Pacino says Francis Ford Coppola sat him down a few weeks into filming The Godfather and showed him footages of his performance saying he wasn’t impressed and he was sure he was about to be fired Al Pacino: “Because when I walked in there, again, that was a big thing for me to walk into Gingerman. Because I didn’t go there because I didn’t have money to buy the drinks.” “So I went in there, and Francis was eating with his family, and I was standing there, and he says, ‘We had a talk.’” “So I thought, well, here we go, you know? We’re not going to go anywhere.” “He tells me, ‘You know, I had faith in you. I believed in you.’” “I said, ‘Yeah, I know,’ but it’s—well, you’re not— I don’t know what to do now. What do I say now?” “He says, ‘Well, I only show you the rushes, the footage that we had shot already, and that was going to see something.’” “So I went and saw the rushes, and I’m looking at the screen, and I’m seeing mistakes.” “I was hoping that I could blend in with the scenery and not be seen specifically, or, you know, spotted.” “I just wanted to just blend and just be natural.” “And I thought, well, I know this, the way it looks now, but that’s part of what is going to turn into Michael Corleone.” “So, of course, like I said, two friends, naturally, the actor’s instinct, I just said, ‘Yeah, I see what you mean. That always quiets everybody down. I see, I see what you’re saying.’” “Yes. Sure, yeah, yeah, I’ll work on that.” “I thought, well. Then I thought I was out. And I sort of wanted to be out.”

Joe Pesci is 83 & unlike Robert De Niro & Al Pacino, Pesci hasn’t made a film since starring in Martin Scorsese’s 2019 masterpiece The Irishman. I don’t know why I’m still holding out hope that Pesci will returning to acting. I guess it’s just seeing Bob & Al still act that makes me wish Joe still did it himself. What an amazing actor. #ScorseseSundays

Al Pacino as Lefty in Donnie Brasco is Pacino at his absolute most charismatic. Pacino has starred in so many great gangster films but what I love about him as Lefty is that he’s a bottom feeder/low-level guy rather than the one in charge. It gives way to some of Al’s best acting

Matthew McConaughey said Woody Harrelson wanted him to act “funnier” as Rust Cohle in True Detective. "Woody and I had worked together before. And then in real life, we kind of have a comedic vibe.” “And I remember on set he told me, 'I think we need to, you know, look for some funny in here.' And I'd be like, 'Mhm.' He'd be like, 'See! Like that! How you and I work, McConaughey, is I hit you the ball, you hit it back. I hit you the ball, you hit it back.’ “But now I'm like hitting you the ball, and you're just standing there letting it go by and hit the fence, bottom of the fence, and just staring at me. What the f*ck?”

Connor Storrie on if his younger self would believe he is hosting SNL and his present self feelings about it: "Well, I think at that time I wanted to be a cast member on SNL, not necessarily hosting. So, yeah, I think he would just kind of probably explode and cease to exist. I feel good. The blizzard that we had at the beginning of the week kind of forced me to chill out for two days and, you know, really ground myself. I'm just excited. And I think everyone here is so funny. And, you know, I'm just I still can't believe it's happening."

Al Pacino became Frank Serpico in the 1973 film Serpico. This film was part of a ‘70s run from Pacino that included films like Dog Day Afternoon and two Godfathers. Pacino is in his utter prime in this movie- it’s arguably his finest moment. I strongly urge you to see this film.

If anybody out there is feeling bad about their life or a little hopeless or struggling with an injury, then this is the video for you. I still cannot understand how Stormzy made it back and is looking and acting as unbelievably well as he is today. It just fills my heart with so much joy. We've had a few tough losses recently with Apollo, Atlas, and little Al Pacino. I was just scrolling through my videos with dinner, looking at some of the success stories to try and remember the wins that we have. So so proud of this little boy. He's a perfect example of never giving up and always fighting because there is a better life out there ahead of us all.

Matthew McConaughey says his son begged to audition for his movie, so before the tape went out he had the name McConaughey deleted from it “I say, ‘Hey, this is my son, Levi, reading for the part. I think this might be good enough for a callback, let me know what you think.’ She writes back, ‘I think it’s good enough to send the director.’ I go, ooh, okay. Hang on a second. If you do that, can you pull his last name?” “What if he gets it, is he going to have a little inkling that, oh, my last name helped me get in there? Don’t want that to happen. What if he doesn’t get it? Does he have an inkling like, well, could I have got that on my own? Maybe did my last name keep me out of it?” “So we pull his last name, send it to Paul. He looks at it, he goes, ‘That’s the kid.’ She goes, ‘Well, that’s actually Matthew’s son.’ He goes, ‘Even better.’”

Robert De Niro originally wanted to play Max Cherry in Jackie Brown, the role that eventually went to Robert Forster. However, Quentin Tarantino had written the role with Forster in mind and had already promised him the part. Tarantino explains… “I wrote Jackie Brown, and I decided at some point in writing the script that Robert Forster would be terrific as Max Cherry. So, while I’m still writing the script, I bump into Robert Forster - we go to the same coffee shop. ….so I decided I’m gonna give him the part, because I figure, look, this would be a big, big deal part. So if I don’t give him the part, then once I’m done with it and it gets out in the town, then it’s gonna be Gene Hackman and Paul Newman and people like that, and it would be pretty hard to say no to. But if I just give him the part right now, I’ve got the juice to get it through, and now I can’t take it back because I wouldn’t be a man of my word. So to lock myself into that decision, I give it to him before I finish writing it. And then now comes the time to do it. Robert De Niro reads it, and he wants to be in it, but he wants to play Max. And I go, “Well, look, you would be a fantastic Max, but I’ve already given that to Robert Forster, and I’m a man of my word. I can’t take it back.” Now, De Niro is very much a man of his word, so he understands that. He gets that. And he’s just like, “Yeah, yeah. That’s just disappointing. It’s just regretful.” I go, “What?” “Well, just because, you know, you were thinking about him, so you wrote it for him. But if we had had more dinners and hung out a little bit more, then you would have been thinking about me and you would have written it for me. And I understand what happened, but that could have been changed if we had spent more time with each other before this.” And so he kind of gives me the – “just think about it for a couple of days, all right? - and then let’s talk again. Maybe Bob (Robert Foster) could play Louis, the other guy.” So then I actually have Bob read Louis with me, and then read Max. And if that could work, maybe that could work. But no, everything that made him perfect for Max made him wrong for Louis. And so I get on the phone with De Niro — and I go, “Yeah, you know, I explored that. But no, everything about him that makes him perfect for Max makes him wrong to play this ex-convict guy.” And he goes, “Yeah, yeah, I get that. I get that, I get that, I get that. Okay, so tell me about this Louis character.” And I go, “You would consider playing Louis?” “Yeah, it’s a good character. It’s a good movie. I wanna be part of it. It’s a good character. I wanted the other character, but yeah, this is a good character. I’d be happy to play it.” I go, “Well, you didn’t let me know that before.” He goes, “Well, I didn’t wanna let you off the hook. I wanted you on the hook. But now if that ship has sailed, then let’s talk about Louis.” And then it was a done deal.”

Michelle Pfeiffer was relatively an unknown in 1983 when "Scarface" (1983) was made. Both Al Pacino & Brian De Palma were against casting her. De Palma wasn't convinced that she had the chops to pull off a part that was initially earmarked for Glenn Close. But Producer Martin Bregman fought for Pfeiffer to be cast & managed to achieve it. Here is Al Pacino and Bregman talking about it: While discussing the film's female casting, Bregman said, "Michelle Pfeiffer... That was a battle because of everybody in town was going out for that. In spite of what [Al] said before, [he was] a star at the time. Michelle wasn't known at the time." "And you had that sense about her," Pacino said "Because I probably would have said no." "You did say no!" replied Bregman, inciting laughter from Pacino and the entire theater. Michelle Pfeiffer explaining about it: "Al was probably more intense back then, or I think it was maybe the nature of the project, and he didn’t particularly want me for the part, It was a very long and drawn-out audition process. I don’t know it seemed like forever but I think it was about two or three months. And I was terrified and I was really young, and I knew he didn’t want me, and as it went on, the worse I got because I just got so afraid.” ("Why Al Pacino “didn’t want” Michelle Pfeiffer in ‘Scarface’", Scott Campbell, Farout Magazine, 2024 "Al Pacino Did Not Want Michelle Pfeiffer For Scarface and 8 Other Revelations About the Gangster Classic", Movieline, 2011) P.S: Happy 68th birthday, Michelle Pfeiffer!

Michelle Pfeiffer was relatively an unknown in 1983 when "Scarface" (1983) was made. Both Al Pacino & Brian De Palma were against casting her. De Palma wasn't convinced that she had the chops to pull off a part that was initially earmarked for Glenn Close. But Producer Martin Bregman fought for Pfeiffer to be cast & managed to achieve it. Here is Al Pacino and Bregman talking about it: While discussing the film's female casting, Bregman said, "Michelle Pfeiffer... That was a battle because of everybody in town was going out for that. In spite of what [Al] said before, [he was] a star at the time. Michelle wasn't known at the time." "And you had that sense about her," Pacino said "Because I probably would have said no." "You did say no!" replied Bregman, inciting laughter from Pacino and the entire theater.

Jason Day was asked ahead of The Masters whether he has any empathy for what Tiger Woods is going through and he gave a brilliant answer that a lot of people can probably agree with: “So yeah, in regards to Tiger, it just shows the human element and the human side of someone that is struggling with some sort of an addiction. He's not immune to it just because he can hit a golf ball really well. He's had 25 to 30 something surgeries, and when you're going through that many procedures, it's painful coming out of those procedures. I've had procedures done and I typically try and stay away from all that stuff because I just know that -- painkillers, there can potentially be a downfall to it. “Granted, when I look at that, I look at it and go, he's just a human being like everyone else and we have struggles. It's unfortunate, the only thing that I don't understand is that it's a little bit selfish of him to drive and put other people in harm's way, as well. “But when you're the player that he was and how strong-willed he is, he thinks he can do almost anything, and that's probably why he's probably driving and a little bit under the influence. “He was my hero -- he's my hero. He was my hero growing up. The reason why I play golf is because of this tournament and Tiger. It's hard to see him go through what he's going through, and especially under the microscope that -- it must be hard to be who he is and have everything, everyone look on, kind of down on him. “Some people want him to fail. Some people obviously want him to succeed. It's really difficult for me to go through that and watch him, and I know that he's getting the help now, which is good. I'm just hoping he comes out on the other side and is better.” Well said. Jason Day The Masters

Christopher Nolan interviewing Michael Mann, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro on the iconic coffee shop meeting in Heat... Nolan: So for all three of you, I mean, one of the great and memorable scenes in the film - there are many - but the iconic coffee shop meeting that people were so struck by when the film came out, seeing two such great actors who had not acted in the same scene together before, together. There was such mythology around it at the time. I remember several friends of mine being convinced that you'd shot it on different days because there was no two-shot… (Michael Mann laughs) Nolan: Was it single camera? Was it two cameras? Did you have two cameras so you could shoot both close-ups at the same time? How did you approach that momentous event? Mann: It started with this consummate respect for the great artists that these two guys are. We talked about the scene and we analysed the scene… We didn't want to do the scene until we were at Cape Mandelini's. And then it was so ingrained that I knew that in all the little tiny organic details it would be different from take to take. So what I wanted to do was shoot with two cameras, two over the shoulders – I knew that there would be an organic unity to one take, and it would be a slightly different organic unity to another; because if you look at it very carefully, if Bob shifts his hand like this a little bit, right in the middle of dialogue, Al is doing something to counter it - because maybe he's shifting his positions so he can get closer to a weapon… Nolan: What do you remember about that shoot? Pacino: I do remember that Bob said – at first I wondered about it and then I thought how right he is – he said, “let’s not rehearse it.” Nolan: Because you love to rehearse. Pacino: Oh yeah. And Bob does too. De Niro: No, I do too at times, but this kind of scene we didn't have to. Pacino: But the thing is, what Bob said is so true about rehearsal – and that is that there is no sense in rehearsing if the people around you don't know how to rehearse. That is an important factor. Might as well not rehearse or rehearse very little. But it's true because it's a certain kind of thing and people either respond to it or they don't. And so, they could be great actors, of course, but they don't want to rehearse. I've had experiences like that… De Niro: Well, it was also that we were stationary. So, it wasn't we had to sort of rehearse blocking or anything and discover how our physical moves would be. We were kind of, there, though there were subtle moves in the scene itself, obviously. But anyway, and we started late and.... we didn't start till after lunch or dinner, which was really like one o'clock in the morning...I loved the scene and I wanted, you know, really wanted it to be as best as it could be. So I was a little unhappy that we started so late in the middle of the night... Mann: It was actually intentional... De Niro: I know, he wanted to tire us out. Nolan: But getting into a scene like that, that you know is going to be such a significant part of the film, huge expectation from both of you as you sit down to perform it. At the end of that night, did you know you had it? Did you feel it? Pacino: I never knew that. De Niro: You never know that. Mann: I knew we had it. Nolan: You knew. That's your job. Pacino: I'd like to do it again actually. Mann: (laughs) We’ll re-shoot it… We normally would rehearse scenes. That scene we talked about, we all as a group decided, you know, we wanted to just talk it through and save it for the event of shooting it, which was the only scene we probably did that with. But I tend to not want to rehearse things to the point where I feel like I wish I'd shot it. That's a disaster – I think things will be perfect once, and they'll never be perfect. They'll never be 100% twice. They'll only be 100% once. You want that happening in front of the camera. From a panel discussion following a special screening of Heat at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater on September 7, 2016.
