Pacino's publicist Stan Rosenfield confirmed the news to the PA news agency Thursday.

The Hollywood veteran already has twins- Anton and Olivia, 22-with actress Beverly D'Angelo; and a 33-year-old daughter, Julie Marie, with acting coach Jan Tarrant.

Considered to be one of the finest actors of his generation, Al Pacino won the best actor Oscar for his role in the 1992 film Scent of a Woman and has also been nominated many times over.

His partner Alfallah works in the film industry and has produced movies such as the upcoming Pacino-starring Billy Knight, Little Death, and Brosa Nostra.

The news about the arrival of his son comes less than a month after Robert De Niro, Pacino's co-star in The Godfather II, Heat and The Irishman, welcomed his seventh child at the age of 79.
