‘Coolest Man On Earth’: Al Pacino’s Shrek Phone Case Sparks Wholesome Reactions From Fans; Know The Story Behind It

by

As an ardent fan of Al Pacino, I find myself utterly captivated by the charming tale behind his iconic Shrek phone case. It’s not every day that we witness such a revered figure in Hollywood, known for his intense and gripping roles, sporting a whimsical character like Shrek on his mobile device.

Once again, Al Pacino and his distinctive Shrek phone case are drawing attention. In a video shared by BBC News on October 15, the actor, who previously talked about his unique phone gadget in 2022 after it gained popularity, shared the touching tale behind it once more.

During an interview, BBC correspondent Colin Paterson expressed surprise at finding Shrek on Al Pacino’s phone case, not anticipating such a choice given to the actor. “Who would expect Shrek?” Pacino, aged 84, concurred with the sentiment, then proceeded to reveal his phone cover more closely, caught up in his headphone wires.

When inquired about why he uses a Shrek phone case, Pacino clarified that this has been public knowledge since 2022. He explained that his daughter Olivia gave him the case after she briefly used his phone. “When she returned,” said the Godfather star, gesturing to the well-known phone cover, “it was already there. She said, ‘It’s Shrek, Dad!’ To which I replied, ‘Shrek? Wow. Alright, sweetheart, I’ll keep it for now.’

Supporters wrote heartwarming remarks beneath BBC’s Instagram post about Pacino, labeling him as “the most cool individual on the planet” and a devoted father who “goes to great lengths for his children.

Two years back, sharp-eyed fans noticed a Shrek phone case on the table in a picture of him with Jason Momoa (Aquaman star). On X, similar reactions were expressed. A fan at that time commented, “Al Pacino owning a Shrek phone case is just another reason he’s a legend.” Another remarked, “I can’t stop thinking about Al Pacino having a Shrek phone case.

It wasn’t until social media drew his attention that the actor from Scarface discovered what was on his phone case, as he stated on the Today Show in June 2022.

On Tuesday, Pacino spoke with the BBC regarding his recently released memoir titled “Sonny Boy,” a name given to him by his mother and which serves as its title. This book can now be found in stores.
