Michelle Pfeiffer did Al Pacino bleeding during the “Scarface” hearing

Say hello to my boyfriend!

Michelle Pfeiffer, 67, revealed that she had accidentally made bleeding from Al Pacino while he auditioned for “Scarface” by Brian de Palma over 40 years ago.

The star of “Grease 2” recalled the period of the bloody incident during Sean Hayes, Jason Bateman and the episode of the Podcast “Smartless” of Arnett released on Monday, September 29.

At the time, Pfeiffer almost lost the role of Elvira Hancock because she was “afraid” and her “bad” auditions alongside Pacino (Tony Montana) became “increasingly worse”.

“Brian finally comes to me and says to me,” You know, Doll, it’s just not going to work, “she recalls. “Fear is the worst. It is the enemy of an actor. It suits you completely. So, as disappointed as I was so happy to end it.”

Pfeiffer, however, was recalled for a screen test a month later, that is to say when she accidentally cut Pacino’s finger, causing bloody disorder.

“I present myself and I do not even give the case of – because I know that I do not get this part,” said the starlet “Batman Returns”. “It was my best work in the film, of course.”

“I slide the table of the dishes and the glasses break, the dishes break. Cut. There is blood everywhere, ”she continued. “I hadn’t cut myself. I cut al. I said to myself: “Well, there is this part. »»

Pacino was not upset, however, and Pfeiffer hypothesized that the incident helped her land what has become his role of escape.

“In fact, I think it was the day he said to himself:” Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think she is not bad, “said Pfeiffer, adding that experience has taught her not to” give “on performance and auditions.

Elsewhere during her conversation with Hayes, Bateman and Arnett, the nominated actress at the Oscars spoke of the 1983 criminal drama and the six “really intense” months that it took to shoot.

“I had no idea that it would become a kind of cultural phenomenon,” said Pfeiffer, who was only 23 years old at the time.

“I was playing a coke drug addict, so I was not eating,” said the star of “dangerous Minds”. “And I kept becoming leaner and leaner. The crew brought me bagels. ”

Pfeiffer added that in addition to her and the co-star Mary Elizabeth Mastraonio (Gina Montana), the “Scarface” set was dominated by “gangster and machismo” which were “a whole kind of character all the time”.

This left the future winner of the Golden Globe, who later married producer David E. Kelley in 1993, feeling frightened and as if she was not good enough to be involved in such a serious production.

“I just didn’t have much experience to my credit. And I was terrified. Every night I was terrified, ”admitted Pfeiffer.

“I didn’t feel worthy,” she added. “I didn’t feel like I have the chops. I had no experience behind me. I had no confidence. ”

However, the representation of Pfeiffer d’Elvira Hancock helped launch his career. She then received an Oscar nomination for “Dangerous Liaisons” (1988), as well as for “The Fabulous Baker Boys” (1989) and “Love Field” (1992).
