Al Pacino appeared at the Tribeca Festival in New York on 9 June, where the 86-year-old actor drew attention for looking unrecognisable in sunglasses he briefly removed before explaining the flashes were hurting his eyes. The Hollywood veteran was attending a screening tied to his new film Killing Castro, prompting a rare red carpet outing that quickly circulated online.
Pacino has kept a relatively low public profile in recent years despite continuing to work steadily. His appearances tend to coincide with film releases, and Tribeca marked one of the few occasions he has stepped out in front of photographers this year.
