Al Pacino left the Game Awards crowd in hysterics following a surprise appearance at the ceremony.
The Hollywood star of films including The Godfather, Dog Day Afternoon and Scarface was an unexpected presence at the event on Thursday (8 December).
After Pacino was introduced to the stage by host Geoff Keighley, audience members appeared to be in shock that the Oscar-winner had shown up to the ceremony, which is essentially the Academy Awards for video games.
“It’s really good to see you here,” Pacino, 82, said after arriving on the stage, adding: “This is an experience for me.”
At this, the crowd laughed, with Pacino continuing: “[It’s] one I didn’t expect, so here I am, as usual doing surprising things for myself.”
But Pacino admitted he was struggling to see the autocue, stating: “Anyway, it may come as a shock to you but I... It’s hard for me to see the teleprompter.
