Al Pacino to play Joe Paterno in next?
Actor-director Al Pacino is all set to play disgraced Penn State football coach Joe Paterno in a new movie. Paterno died in January after being fired by the university following the child sex abuse scandal involving his former assistant coach, Jerry Sandusky.
Pacino will play the titular character based on Joe Posnanski’s biography, Paterno, reported Radar Online. JoePa— as Paterno was often called— was later accused of concealing facts relating to the abuse.
It is said that Paterno broke down and sobbed the day he was fired, but the tears were for his shattered image and not the children who’d been molested by his friend.
