De Niro, who is 79, welcomed a daughter named Gia in April with girlfriend Tiffany Chen.
During a press junket Wednesday for his Tribeca Film Festival, De Niro was asked about the news that Pacino, 83, is set to become a father again with Noor Alfallah, who is 29.
鈥淲hat a guy,鈥� People reported De Niro as saying. 鈥淕o Al, God bless him.鈥�
But it appears De Niro may have misunderstood the question as the next day during an appearance on 鈥淭oday,鈥� the actor seemed to have believed Baby Pacino had already arrived.
鈥淟isten, Al Pacino just had a baby, I was told yesterday morning,鈥� De Niro said. 鈥淗e鈥檚 a few years older than me. God bless him. Very happy for him,鈥�
There is no indication that the baby has been born.
De Niro and Pacino have starred in several projects together over the years, including 鈥淭he Godfather II,鈥� 鈥淗eat鈥� and 鈥淭he Irishman.鈥�
