Al Pacino was 'horrified' by nickname he was given on set so made major change Veteran actor Al Pacino was so horror-struck by an offbeat nickname given to him on a movie set that he decided to switch to veganism (very briefly, that is).
Online users are now buzzing about the idea of a biographical film based on this unusual phase of Pacino's life, with one quipping: "They need to make a movie called '17 and a half hours' that charts the Al Pacino vegan period in full.".
The aftermath of this revelation was equally surprising, as he added: "Once filming wrapped, he was so horrified by his poultry intake during the shoot that he became vegan for 17 and a half hours and donated his fee to a chicken sanctuary in Aberdeen, Scotland.".
It reads: "Pacino reportedly ate so much chicken between takes that he earned the nickname Al Pa-chicken amongst the crew.".
One person sarcastically remarked about his brief stint with veganism, commenting: "'Became vegan for seventeen and a half hours' you mean he had a salad for lunch the next day.
