Al Pachino wrote fan letter to Christopher Plummer

Veteran Hollywood actor Al Pacino, who is all set for his film "Danny Collins", says he once wrote a fan letter for his co-star Christopher Plummer when he saw him on stage.

Plummer who plays Pacino's manager in the film shared a great rapport on and off the sets with the 75-year-old actor.

"Chris was like an idol of mine, I was very influenced by him. I actually wrote him a fan letter when I saw him on stage once. He really was my idol, like no one ever has been my idol. So I had a real attraction to him and we got along very well during the movie, we became friends and stuff," he said in a statement.

Pacino is playing an ageing rockstar who decides to change the course of his life after receiving a long-undelivered letter from the late singer John Lennon. Apart from Pacino, the film, directed by Dan Fogelman, also stars Annette Bening, Jennifer Garner, Bobby Cannavale and Christopher Plummer.
