“It’s not personal, sonny. It’s strictly business…”

Al Pacino’s girlfriend, or should we say ex-girlfriend, Metial Dohan, has confirmed she’s split from the 79 year old Hollywood legend, citing their 29 year age gap which made things ‘difficult’.

Explaining to Israel’s Lalsha Magazine, the actress said “It’s hard to be with a man so old, even Al Pacino. The age gap is difficult, yes. I tried to deny it, but now he is an elderly man, to be honest. So even with all my love, it didn’t last”. To make matters worse, she took a bit of a shot at ol’ mate Al on the money side, saying “How can I say politely that he didn’t like to spend money?”

Ouch, well at least the Academy Award winner doesn’t seem to be doing too bad career wise, with his 2019 crime thriller The Irishman with Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro scoring several Oscar noms, including Al himself scoring a nod for Best Supporting Actor. So regardless, it looks like The Godfather star will be alright.
