During an interview, Al Pacino revealed a phone case featuring Shrek, sparking a response from the beloved character.
The famous phrase “Shrek is love, Shrek is life” might not completely apply to the Godfather star, but he does have enough appreciation to feature Shrek on his phone case.
In a BBC interview, Pacino showed a phone case with several images of Shrek’s face, much to the audience’s surprise.
Despite the unusual choice, the Academy Award-winning actor displayed the case with a calm demeanor, as if it was the most ordinary thing in the world.
The BBC reporter remarked, “Of all the things in the world that I thought Al Pacino would have on his phone cover, I was not expecting Shrek.”
Pacino humorously responded to the camera, “Who would be expecting Shrek? Who? That’s mine.”
Social media users quickly reacted with amusement.
One Twitter user commented, “Something about Al Pacino having a Shrek phone case is so wholesome to me.”
Another said, “A Real Goat with a goat phone case. I’m healing.”
DreamWorks’ Shrek official page soon joined the conversation.
The Shrek page on Instagram shared an image of Shrek holding a phone, which coincidentally featured multiple images of Pacino.
The caption humorously stated, “Game recognize game.”
Fans of both Shrek and Pacino expressed their excitement in the comments.
An Instagram user exclaimed, “Two of the biggest stars in Hollywood!”
Another called it “a piece of ART.”
One person inquired, “Where can I buy it?”
Another fan wished, “I hope they cast Al Pacino in shrek 5.”
During the interview, Pacino explained the origin of his Shrek phone case, attributing it to his youngest daughter.
“My youngest daughter was like ‘Can I have your phone Dad? I just gotta…’ So I gave her my phone and she came back and she had this on it. She said, ‘It’s Shrek, Dad!’ I said, ‘Shrek, wow! Okay, I’ll hold onto it.'”
And so, the story behind Pacino’s unique phone case came to light.
