Al Pacino escaped a kidnapping early in his acting career, a dramatic incident he recounts in his memoir "Sonny Boy." At 84, the Oscar-winning actor reflects on the event that happened during a cross-country trip with Richard Hackman, Gene Hackman's brother, PEOPLE writes. After having too much to drink, Pacino accepted a woman's offer to drive him home. However, he realized, even in his intoxicated state, that the woman wasn't taking him to his destination. When he asked what was happening, she bluntly declared she was kidnapping him.

Pacino, known for his role in "The Godfather," notes that he was already famous by then and ruled out the notion of the incident being merely an aggressive flirtation. Hailing from the South Bronx, he trusted his instincts to escape risky situations. He insisted he wasn't going to let the situation continue and, amid attempts to convince her otherwise, prepared to jump out of the moving car. This action prompted the woman to change her plans, and she eventually drove him home safely.

The memoir touches on various aspects of life, including Pacino's views on marriage. He's a father of four and admits never being keen on marriage, fearing it would lead to inevitable pain. Although he didn't feel marriage suited him, his relationship with Noor Alfallah included parenting their 16-month-old son, Roman, while maintaining a good friendship.

Pacino expresses that living with someone requires meaningful connection, likening it to mutual invasion if one does not exist. His book provides these insights, available now for readers to explore further into his life and thoughts.
