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.'”

Aly Raisman: A Day in My Life

Aly Raisman ’s life has looked quite different since she officially hung up her leotard and retired from gymnastics in 2020. But even though she’s not spending as much time at the gym, the former gymnast, 26, still makes it a point to live a healthy lifestyle. On a typical day in her life, Raisman will do a Pilates session to maintain her svelte physique. After years of intense training, the three-time Olympic gold medalist found that the method — which involves low-impact flexibility and muscular strength and endurance movements — not only benefited her body, but her mind too. “When I have a good workout, I feel more calm and I feel more connected to my body,” she told Women’s Health in January. “That is a very different answer that I would have given you a couple of years ago. If I were training, I would have probably said a good workout to me is when I push myself as much as I can … I think I pushed myself enough for most of my life. So, now I just want to leave the gym feelin...
