Just days after his controversial Best Picture Oscar win, Al Pacino was spotted heading out for a caffeine fix.
The 83-year-old acting legend was spotted in Los Angeles on Tuesday, following the publication of his new memoir Sonny Boy.
The move also comes on the heels of the Oscar-winning actor clarifying that he was told not to read all the Best Picture nominees by producers.
Pacino was spotted entering an office building in Beverly Hills on Tuesday, wearing an all-black look.
He was seen wearing a blue scarf wrapped around his neck with a long black peacoat that fell to his knees.

He also rocked black sunglasses and was seen carrying a drink into the office building on Tuesday.
The iconic actor completed his look with a pair of black trousers and a matching pair of black sneakers.
Pacino was the surprise presenter of the coveted Best Picture award, though he surprised fans even more by not revealing the 10 Best Picture nominees as is customary.
‘Ten wonderful films are nominated, but only one will receive the award for Best Picture. And I have to go to the envelope for that. And I will. Here it comes. And my eyes see Oppenheimer, yes!’ he said on the Oscar stage.
Just a day later, Pacino cleared the air with TMZand revealed that it was not his choice to exclude the nominees.
“There seems to be some controversy that I didn’t mention every movie by name last night before I announced the Best Picture award,” Pacino began.
‘I just want to make it clear that it was not my intention to leave them out, rather a choice on the part of the producers not to have them said again as they were highlighted individually during the ceremony.
“I was honored to be a part of the evening and chose to follow the way they wanted for this award to be presented.”

“I realize that being nominated is a major milestone in one’s life and not being fully recognized is offensive and hurtful,” he continued.
“I say this as someone who has a deep relationship with the filmmakers, actors and producers, so I feel deeply for those who have been sidelined by this oversight, which is why I felt it necessary to make this statement,” he concluded.
Peguin Press also revealed Monday that it will publish Pacino’s memoir Sonny Boy: A Memoir on Oct. 8.
It was also revealed that Pacino will read the audiobook version himself, which could earn him a Grammy award that would solidify him as the next EGOT winner.
