Al Pacino thinks about his Godfather co-star Robert Duvall after his death.
“It was an honor to have worked with Robert Duvall. He was a born actor as they say, his connection with it, his understanding and his phenomenal gift will always be remembered,” the 85-year-old actor said in his statement to Variety.
“I’ll miss him,” added Pacino, who worked with Duvall in the second film of The godfather. “God bless Bobby. I hope I can live until I’m 95. May he rest in peace.”
For those unfamiliar, Duvall passed away on Sunday, February 15 at the age of 95.
The actor’s wife, Luciana, announced her husband’s death through a post on social media.
“Yesterday we said goodbye to my beloved husband, dear friend and one of the greatest actors of our time. Bob passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by love and comfort,” she wrote on Facebook.
Luciana further wrote, “To the world, he was an Academy Award-winning actor, a director, and a storyteller. To me, he was simply everything. His passion for his craft was matched only by his deep love of characters, a great meal, and holding court.”
“For each of his many roles, Bob gave everything to his characters and the truth of the human spirit they represented, leaving something lasting and unforgettable for all of us. Thank you for the years of support you showed Bob and for giving us this time and privacy to celebrate the memories he leaves behind,” Duvall’s wife added.
