Camila Morrone went to her then-stepparent, Al Pacino, amid a stressful career moment. During a 2018 interview on “The Late Late Show with James Corden,” Morrone discussed learning she’d earned her first acting role for the 2013 movie “Bukowski.” While she was at ease throughout the audition process, Morrone felt unprepared to tackle the part since she hadn’t had prior professional acting experience. So, she asked Pacino for support.
“Of course, the first person I called was my stepdad, who has been an actor for a long time and is [a] very established actor,” Morrone said. Corden then chimed in and said, “His name is Al Pacino.” Pacino invited Morrone over to his house to read the script, which they spent two hours on, she stated. Morrone also shared advice the “Godfather” star gave her, such as, “‘Just be yourself. … Just react to the act, and you’ll be fine.'” When Morrone tried to ask further questions about her character, Pacino humorously said, “‘You’re fine, you’re 19. No one cares.'”

In a 2019 chat with Entertainment Tonight, Morrone opened up about how being raised around the entertainment industry got her ready for a career in acting. “I was fortunate in the sense that I grew up in Hollywood, so I feel like I saw a lot of that and I was exposed to that at a very young age,” Morrone said. She was also introduced to another major Hollywood star as a result of being close to Pacino.
