HOLLYWOOD
- Filmmaker
Francis Ford Coppola
has launched a scathing attack on
Robert De Niro
,
Jack Nicholson
and
Al Pacino
--branding the trio "lazy."
The iconic director--who worked with both
De Niro
and
Pacino
on
The Godfather
--insists the three actors lack ambition and will not embrace challenges in their careers because they prefer to "live off the fat of the land."
He tells men's magazine
GQ
, "I met
Pacino
and
De Niro
when they were really on the come. They were young and insecure. (But) even in those days, after
The Godfather
, I didn't feel those actors were ready to say, 'Let's do something else really ambitious.'
"
Pacino
always wanted to do theater. He wanted to do Peer Gynt. He wanted to do Shakespeare... (He) will say, 'Oh, I was raised next to a furnace in New York, and I'm never going to go to Los Angeles,' but they all live off the fat of the land."
But
Coppola
is adamant
Nicholson
is even lazier as an actor than
De Niro
: "I think if there was a role that
De Niro
was hungry for, he would come after it. I don't think
Jack
would.
"
Jack
has money and influence and girls, and I think he's a little bit like (Marlon)
Brando
, except
Brando
went through some tough times."
