If there is anything Al Pacino is more renowned for besides his terrific acting skills, it’s his reputation on film sets. Despite that, Jessica Chastain tends to differ, refusing to be intimidated by theGodfatherstar all the while claiming he is ‘like a kitten’.
In an interview withThe Hollywood Reporter, theInterstellaractress shared how she has worked with a lot of aggressive-portrayed stars likeSam Worthington,Michael Shannon,Sean Penn, and even Al Pacino, and knows what they are truly like.
“My favorite thing is, I work actually with a lot of men that you would think at first impression would be kind of scary. Sam Worthington, Michael Shannon, Al Pacino, Sean Penn. What I love so much about these men is that they are very strong, and they have this almost aggressive vibe, but it’s because they have this intense vulnerability, that they have to be very strong to protect themselves. So it’s actually, once you get to know them, you realize they’re all kittens. At the end of the day, they’re like kittens.”
But that’s not all: Jessica Chastain even considersAl Pacinoher acting godfather.

She continued to rave about theGodfatherstar, giving him maximum credit for having changed her life by elevating her career in Hollywood.
“My film work is because of his friendship and mentorship — that student-teacher relationship. He taught me how the camera is connected to your soul. Whatever you’re feeling, the camera sees. He changed me as an actor. And, yeah, we’re still friends. He’s a big texter. Loves emojis!”
Regardless of his on-set reputation, Al Pacino will forever remain an important part of Jessica Chastain’s life: as her acting godfather.
