Pacino recently made headlines after teasing that he gave Harrison Ford a career when he turned down the role of Han Solo in "Star Wars." The actor spoke about the missed opportunity on a panel at The 92nd Street Y in New York on April 19.
"Well, I turned down 'Star Wars.' When I first came up, I was the new kid on the block... you know what happens when you first become famous. It's like, 'Give it to Al.' They'd give me Queen Elizabeth to play," he said, per Variety.
