(CNN) — Robert De Niro seems delighted that his friend and former co-star Al Pacino is joining the older dads club.
De Niro, 79, welcomed his daughter Gia, whom he gave birth to in April alongside girlfriend Tiffany Chen.
During a press conference Wednesday for his Tribeca Film Festival, De Niro was asked about the news that Pacino, 83, will become a father again to Noor Alfallah, 29.
“What a guy,” De Niro said, according to People. “Come on Al, God bless you.”
But it seems De Niro misinterpreted the question because the next day, during an appearance on the Today show, the actor appeared to think Baby Pacino had already arrived.
“Listen, Al Pacino just had a baby, they told me that yesterday morning,” De Niro said. “He’s a few years older than me. God bless him. I’m so happy for him.”
There is no indication that the baby was born.
De Niro and Pacino have starred in several projects together over the years, including The Godfather II, Heat and The Irishman.
