Debate Goes Viral: Who Was More Attractive, Young De Niro or Young Pacino?
A hotly contested debate took the internet by storm this weekend, pitting two of Hollywood's most iconic actors against each other: young Robert De Niro versus young Al Pacino. The question, originally posed by Twitter user Ashley Reese, quickly went viral, amassing over 5 million views and countless responses.
Reese, who boasts a following of 59,000 on the social media platform, shared several photos of the actors in their prime and asked her followers to weigh in on the age-old question, "Who was hotter?" The query was presented as a poll, with fans of both stars passionately defending their favorite.
While the debate may never truly be settled, it's clear that the internet had a blast revisiting the youthful charm of two of cinema's most beloved leading men.
As the clock ticks down on the poll (which you can still participate in), Twitter users appear to be leaning towards Al Pacino as the more attractive of the two actors -- but only by a narrow margin. With nearly 130,000 votes cast, 51% have chosen Pacino, while 48% have selected Robert De Niro.
Although there is a case to be made for De Niro, who some argue maintained his good looks for a longer period, it seems that Pacino is the clear winner in terms of youthful hotness. This sentiment is echoed by the original poll creator.
Both actors were heartthrobs in their heyday, with Pacino's '70s roles in films like "The Godfather" series, "Dog Day Afternoon," "Serpico," "Bobby Deerfield," and "...And Justice for All" showcasing his stunning looks. Meanwhile, De Niro also starred in a number of notable films during the '70s, including "Taxi Driver," "G2," and "The Deer Hunter," before undergoing multiple transformations in later decades in films such as "Raging Bull" and "Cape Fear," where he continued to radiate charm and sex appeal.
