The last thing anyone wants to deal with is a broken down car, especially your limo on the way to the Los Angeles premiere of your latest movie, especially if you're Al Pacino.

The Godfather had to hail a cab after his limo broke down on the way to the Simone premiere. Pacino and his 12-year-old daughter Julie hopped in a cab and pulled right up to the red carpet in perfect city style.

"My limo just conked out. It just stopped in Santa Monica. Those things happen to me all the time," Al laughed.

That wasn't the only surprise he gave his fans...he's gone blond. He says it's really dyed gray for a part he's playing but when the sun hits, the hair turns blond. "I actually like it," he said.
