Al Pacino has revealed that he once nearly kidnapped by a female fan who offered to drive him home when he was “a little drunk”.In his newly released memoir, Sonny Boy, the 84-year-old Oscar winner recalled going out for drinks with Gene Hackman’s brother, Richard Hackman, “somewhere in our cross-country journey,” when he met a woman who almost caused him to jump out of her car.According to the actor, he “got so drunk that I could not find my way home.” However, “a woman said to me, ‘Oh, I’ll drive you home.’ And without a second thought, I got into her car with her.”He continued: “But as we drove, even in my daze, I could recognise that she was not taking me back to where I was staying.
