Al Pacino once traded sex in exchange for housing

London (ANI): Hollywood actor Al Pacino once used to exchange sex for a home when he was a struggling actor in Sicily, Italy. The Godfather star spent some time in his family's native Sicily in 1960 after he dropped out of school to pursue his big screen dreams.

But, when he faced difficulty in making amends on his travels, he decided to sell his body to keep a roof over his head, revealed New York Post's gossip columnist Cindy Adams. However, Pacino, 69, has confessed that very often he awoke to regret his decision.

"At 20, I lived in Sicily by selling the only asset I had - my body. An older woman traded food and housing in return for sex. I woke mornings not really loving myself," The Daily Star quoted him as saying.
