Veteran star Al Pacino has exclusively spoken about making a wrong decision in career.

The 85-year-old is widely known for being a part of films namely Heat, The Godfather, Scarface, The Devil’s Advocate, Scent of a Woman, The Irishman and many more.

The American actor, in a recent interview, recalled the era of the 70s that included directors namely Francis Ford Coppola, Steven Spielberg, Brian De Palma, Martin Scorsese and George Lucas, creator of Star Wars.

During the same time period, he was offered a major role, which could have been an opportunity of a lifetime for the Hollywood actor.

But Pacino turned it down just because he did not 'understand' it. 

Al admitted that he was offered to play the role of Han Solo in Stars Wars, but he didn’t understand it.

The Ritual star opened that he struggled to comprehend the script and even asked for advice from a close friend Charlie Loughton before rejecting the part.

Al told Entertainment Weekly, “They offered me a fortune, but I don't know. No, I can't play something if I don't speak the language.”

However, Al Pacino does question his decision that he made at the time, reports.
