Al Pacino Looks Nearly Unrecognizable at Screening of His New Film at Tribeca Film Festival

Al Pacino made an appearance at the 2026 Tribeca Film Festival, and the Hollywood legend looked nearly unrecognizable.

Pacino, 86, walked the red carpet in honor of his upcoming film, Killing Castro, on Wednesday, June 10. He kept things lowkey in a black jacket, gray shirt and black pants. The Scarface star paired the look with sunglasses, a tan-colored beanie and dark sneakers.

In a video clip shared on social media, photographers could be heard shouting for Pacino to take off his sunglasses, which he wore most of the time he was in front of the cameras.

While he eventually removed them, it was only for a few seconds before the Dog Day Afternoon actor admitted that flashes from the cameras hurt his eyes.

Pacino’s been a household name for decades and while attending the Tribeca Film Festival, he was asked by the Associated Press what “keeps him going.”

“I don’t know because I wish I had a formula for this that I could share with the world, but I think it’s the glasses,” he quipped, referring to the sunglasses he’s rarely seen without.

When the Godfather icon was asked if he had a favorite, he admitted he didn’t have an answer for the question.

“You have to think about favorite roles as you remember a time when you were making the film [and] that it was really good,” Pacino explained. “You had fun and all, and usually those are the lesser films I made.”
