Coppola says De Niro and Pacino aint hungry no mo'!

'[Pacino and De Niro] were young and insecure,' Coppola says of the early years, after he'd cast Pacino, blown away by his performance in Panic In Needle Park. The director is currently most-unimpressed with the actor's body of work over the last decade. 'Now Pacino is very rich, maybe because he never spends any money; he just puts it in his mattress.'

Coppola is more charitable toward De Niro, who won an Academy Award for a stunning performance in his Godfather II. 'De Niro was deeply inspired by Zoetrope [Coppola's studio], created an empire and is wealthy and powerful,' the director says, before pointing out that the actor is resting on his laurels instead of seeking thrilling roles.

    • What did he expect?
      Coppola is a genius, that's for sure...

      But while he could just sit back and start executive producing stuff he though was worth it, Paccino and De Niro were there acting... Acting their arses off...

      And like...
      Jack isn't that great film either...

      Actually! Coppola should executive produce a film of mine... Then he'd see what it is to be hungry...
