Al Pacino is still traumatized by a painful penis injury he suffered at a young age.
The legendary actor detailed the haunting incident in his new memoir, “Sonny Boy,” which was released earlier in October.
“I was walking on a thin, iron fence, doing my tightrope dance,” Pacino wrote in his book, People reported Oct. 17. “It had been raining all morning, and sure enough, I slipped and fell, and the iron bar hit me directly between my legs.” He went on to describe the inguinal injury as “one of the most embarrassing experiences of my life.”

The 84-year-old Oscar winner detailed how people rushed to his aid when he suffered the awkward, excruciating penis injury at age 10.
“[I was] in such pain that I could barely walk home,” Pacino wrote. “An older guy saw me groaning in the street, picked me up, and carried me.”
The older man took Pacino to his aunt’s apartment, where the famous actor laid in pain while waiting for the doctor to arrive for a house call, the outlet reported.
“I lay there on the bed, with my pants completely down around my ankles as the three women in my life – my mother, my aunt, and my grandmother – poked and prodded at my penis in a semi-panic,” he wrote.

“I thought, God, please take me now, as I heard them whispering things to one another as they conducted their inspection,” he continued.
The legendary star said his penis “remained attached, along with the trauma,” despite the severity of the injury, according to the outlet.
“To this day I’m still haunted by the thought of it,” he admitted, adding that recounting the experience still makes him feel “squeamish.” (RELATED: Al Pacino Reveals He Came Close To Death)

“I was like a cat with many more than nine lives. I had more mishaps and accidents than I can count.”
