Turns out Al Pacino might be a big “Shrek” fan.
Fans on Twitter were spiraling after noticing the 81-year-old actor has a phone case with what appears to be the animated green ogre’s face all over it.
Jason Momoa shared a photo on Instagram of a group dinner celebrating a new art exhibition featuring the works of painter Julian Schnabel.
At first glance, the photo seems to be extremely ordinary with a bunch of empty plates. The “Godfather” star can be seen alongside other friends, including Mick Jagger’s ex-girlfriend Noor Alfallah, 28.
But the talk of the night wasn’t the sighting of Pacino and Alfallah leaving together — everyone had their eyes on Pacino’s phone case.
When Marie Bardi, social media producer at the “Blank Check” podcast, brought the phone case to Twitter’s attention, the photo soon went viral.

“Al’s headphones continue to be iconic,” she writes about Pacino’s oft-seen wired headphones. “But I need a full investigation on whatever the f – – k is supposed to be on his iPhone case.”
Bardi then discovered a Shrek phone case on Amazon that resembles the phone case in the picture with the Hollywood actor.
Twitter lost it after the realization.
