Exactly. Most of these dudes cant handle a 1099 and got the discipline to put 40% aside for taxes so when the season hits they gotta sell a rolex or another asset. Plus they think they will be hot forever. Scary thing is that if this could happen to a legend like pacino imagine these black actors that get typecasted for pennies. Im going to NY comic con tomorrow and i can understand why some of these celebs charging $150 for a pic and autograph. I mean i aint paying that but i understand

We also project A LOT onto actors, esp. like a Pacino, who played Scarface, and a lot of other hyper masculine, hyper competent people. When actors themselves, and esp. Pacino, are often theater geek drama kids. My boy went to USC film school, and I hang with him and his friends in that business (read, wealthy) friends, and they are all very cool intellectuals, but straight up geeks.

what I mean is they love the craft, they aren't business people.

True. Plus we sometimes forget being great in one thing doesnt translate to other things. Thats why celebs who are savy will hire business managers, financial advisors etc that think about the future and will flip they bread. Cause when u get as famous as Pacino u cant kill your brand by becoming a home depot manager or some other regular nikka job

HOLY shyt! I was not expecting a musical commercial, especially a rap. :dead:

I just hope god will forgive him for this once it’s his time :scust:

Theres a cold place in hell for whoever realized they had access to one of the greatest actors of his time,yet wrote this for him to perform:scust:


I wouldve had him acting his ass off like we were up for an Oscar in my Capuccino ad:mjlol:




He couldnt have just done some MCU movies,this commercial upsets me. Hopefully my one hundreth viewing of Scarface isnt tarnished by seeing this:francis:

Just a reminder for those that didn’t read the article, he got scammed. It was a ponzi scheme which took his money.

I want to ask about money. In the book you write about growing up poor, and also about how, in the 2000s, you lost a bunch because your accountant ripped you off. But even before that, you were spending lustily: three or four hundred thousand dollars a month; your landscaper was getting $400,000 a year. It all made me think, What is this man’s relationship with money? Oh, you don’t want to know. It may be catching. [Laughs.] Down the drain for sure!

Did growing up the way you did, where money was not readily at hand, shape your relationship later on with money? I’m the kind of person that if I don’t understand something very well, I just avoid it. Actually, my father, who I didn’t know really, was an accountant, and a very good one apparently. So he sort of knew. But I moved away from that because I was always into my work or other things that had nothing to do with money. “A fool and his money are soon parted”: That saying was very applicable.
