Al Pacino has recently revealed that there was a time when he was almost fired from 1972's 'The Godfather'.

The American veteran actor said in an interview that the team of his iconic film was about to fire him just after first few weeks when he started shooting as they didn't like the way he was portraying the character, ABC News reported.

The 74-year-old actor, who went on to portray the mob boss in the rest of the 'Godfather' trilogy, added that when they saw the final footage he shot with innocence in a crazy way, they liked it and decided to keep the actor.
