Michelle Pfeiffer 'made Al Pacino bleed'

Michelle Pfeiffer has revealed that she secured her role in Scarface by making Al Pacino bleed during a screen test.

The Witches Of Eastwick actress made the admission on David Letterman’s chatshow that she “sliced and diced” the actor, The Huffington Post reports.

While promoting her new movie Cheri, the 51-year-old also said that originally Pacino did not want her for the character of Elvira Hancock in the 1983 picture.

However, the pair shot a screen test centred around an argumentative scene in which Pfeiffer clears a table of dishes. She finished the take to discover that there was blood everywhere as the film crew hurried over to make sure she was unharmed.

Pfeiffer said: "I look over and I’ve cut Al Pacino. This is the guy who already hates me. So, well, there goes that, I guess! But I actually think it’s when he began to like me. And we’ve been good friends ever since. I got the job."
