Israeli actress Meital Dohan, 40, has claimed she split from Al Pacino, 79, due to their insurmountable 39-year age gap and the fact that he doesn’t like to spend money.
Confirming the news of their break-up following the legendary actor’s solo appearance at the Oscars, Meital declared, ‘it’s hard to be with a man so old, even Al Pacino’.
The actress also alleged she dumped The Godfather star after two years together because Pacino ‘didn’t like to spend money’ in a candid chat with Israel’s La’Isha magazine.
‘I tried to deny it, but now he is already an elderly man’, Meital told the publication.
‘The age gap is difficult, yes.
‘I tried to deny it, but now he is already an elderly man, to be honest. So even with all my love, it didn’t last,’ she said.

‘He was the love of that time of my life. Each man had a different decade,’ she said in an interview with The Telegraph in 2013 adding: ‘Woody was my twenties, Warren was my thirties and Al was borderline: late thirties/early forties.

She and Pacino never got married but, she says, he told her she was the woman he wanted to start a family with soon after they began dating.
‘After we’d known each other for three months, [Al] looked me in the eyes and said, “I want you to be the mother of my children.”
‘That’s all I had to hear.’
Their amicable arrangement turned bitter as they fought over custody of the twins in 2003.
