The restaurateur, 54, got the chance to meet the Oscar winner, 82, while cooking for a party at Sylvester Stallone‘s house that was also attended by Arnold Schwarzenegger. “I’m there and I’m cooking … [and] Sly says, ‘Hang on,'” the Emmy winner exclusively told Us Weekly on Tuesday, January 17, while promoting his partnership with King’s Hawaiian. “I’m like, ‘Who is coming through this door?’ They’re building this up so big, in walks Al Pacino.”

The Food Network personality noted that he doesn’t often feel “starstruck,” but meeting Pacino was a different story. “I am a humongous Godfather fan, I am a humongous Scarface man,” Fieri explained to Us. “I mean, Al Pacino! Dog Day Afternoon, you name it. I’ve seen every movie.”

The Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives host served him in the kitchen after Stallone, 76, made the introduction. “[Al] takes a few bites and I am just — I don’t know what to do,” Fieri recalled. “I said, ‘Uh, Al, how is it?’ And he looks up and he goes, ‘Woo!'”

Fieri added that he was impressed by what a “genuine” person Pacino was. “Growing up, watching this guy and then seeing what a nice, gentle, cool dude [he was],” the Guy’s Grocery Games host continued. “And when somebody likes what you make, it’s pretty special.”

As for how Fieri connected with Stallone, the chef explained that they met in Beverly Hills a year before the Rocky star invited him to the aforementioned party. The Tulsa King actor only wanted him to attend in a guest capacity, but Fieri insisted on cooking.

“[Sylvester] says, ‘Bring it.’ He says he’s gonna invite a few friends though, if that’s OK,” Fieri recalled. “I’m like, ‘It’s his house! I’m there. And I’m cooking.'”

Red Carpet Date! Sophia Bush and Grant Hughes Attend WHCA Dinner

Finding The One! Sophia Bush has kept her romance with Grant Hughes relatively private since the pair were first spotted together in Malibu in May 2020. However, the FocusMotion Health founder has shared a few photos of the couple. Ever since landing the role of Brooke Davis on One Tree Hill in 2003, Bush’s personal life has made headlines. That is something that the actress and activist has intentionally changed, she explained in June 2021. “It’s hard to have nothing that’s yours. And when you are a person who lives in the public eye, everybody wants to pick over everything and that can be really tricky,” the False Positive actress told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “I also grew up in the early aughts when girls were raked over the coals for any choices that they made. And I just was like, ‘I don’t think I like this.’ I didn’t like having my private life lied about. There were times where someone would send through an article and be like, ‘Well, supposedly you’re dating t...
