Al Pacino has certainly made an impression during his visit to the UK.
After taking a tumble on the steps of the Royal Albert Hall at Sunday night’s Baftas, the legendary actor put in an appearance on The One Show on Tuesday - not that he appeared to know where he was.
The Godfather star appeared on the
BBC One show alongside co-star Logan Lerman to promote their new
Amazon Prime show, Hunters. During their chat, Al told hosts Alex Jones and Matt Baker that he “always dreams” about the things he’s doing.
Alex then jokingly asked the actor: “Did you dream about The One Show [last night]?”
Cue a blank-faced response from the star.
“This is The One Show!” Alex informed him.“What’s the One Show?” - Al Pacino#AlPacino#irishmanpic.twitter.com/imed8oBgTI— unexplainablefilm (@unxfilm) February 4, 2020And things didn’t improve much from that point with the Oscar winner almost getting up to leave during a VT of his glittering career.
“I was just going to leave,” he told the hosts, with Matt informing him: “No, no, you’re not done.”
Twitter couldn’t quite get its collective heads around the fact that the actual Al Pacino was on BBC One’s teatime show...You can't move for signs of the apocalypse. First Trump and Boris getting elected. Then the earthquakes. Fires. A plague. Dead birds falling from the skies. A good film starring Adam Sandler. Al Pacino on The One Show.

However, as he made his way up some steps ahead of the awards ceremony, the Scarface actor took a tumble.
Fortunately, he was quickly helped to his feet by his fellow guests, and looked unbothered by the incident as he sat in the auditorium during the ceremony’s broadcast.READ MORE: Matt Baker Announces He's Quitting The One Show With Tearful On-Air Message Alex Jones Reveals She Hosted The One Show Live Just 1 Hour After Learning She'd Had A Miscarriage Helen Mirren Calls Out Alex Scott Over ‘Feisty’ Comment During Awkward Exchange On The One Show
