A Twitter poll uploaded over the weekend has people in a hilariously heated debate over who's hotter — young Al Pacino or young Robert De Niro.

"At a wedding and having a big debate right now. Please vote," read the Tweet by Ashley Reese, or @offbeatorbit, posted on May 14. It has garnered over 20 million views as of May 15.

What sparked the big debate was not stated, but users got quickly — and rather seriously — invested.

"I have refreshed this more times than 2020 election results," read a Tweet. "Wearing an 'i voted' sticker after selecting al pacino," read another.

Some were even equipped with pictures and video edits of the two actors in their older projects to support their point.

"Does robert de niro have a fancam set to west coast by lana del rey that i watch obsessively?" read a Tweet, attached with a video edit of young Pacino.

"Young de niro had a certain je ne sais quoi. rugged yet graceful. this is the working man's choice," read another Tweet, with pictures of young De Niro attached as proof.

The poll resulted in a tie with over 277,000 votes when it ended at 9:22 AM on May 15, after being up for 24 hours.

And it has since been spread to other social media platforms like TikTok and Reddit, where people are also equally divided, voting unofficially for either side.

Though the debate is unresolved, Reese has made it clear that she is a proud team Pacino.

"HAVE YOU PPL NOT SEEN DOG DAY AFTERNOON???" Tweeted Reese in all caps, showing support for Pacino in his role as Sonny in the 1975 crime drama based on a real-life event.
