- LONDON — English actress Actress Jameela Jamil "knocked over" Hollywood star Al Pacino as she was attempting to smuggle food out of a Hollywood party.
-
- The actress shared that she accidentally floored the actor during a glitzy party thrown by the head of the United Talent Agency, saying that she was attempting to leave the party with 10 wagyu steaks hidden under her skirt.
-
- 'The Good Place' star told the Guardian newspaper: "I knocked over Al Pacino at a party. It was at the head of UTA’s house back in maybe 2015. I’d stolen a bunch of food – they had really good wagyu steaks, so I took 10 wrapped in a cloth napkin, they were kind of bleeding.
-
- "I bundled them in between my legs, underneath my miniskirt, and was shuffling as fast as I could out of the party when I knocked over Al Pacino. And then I left him on the ground, because the steaks flew out from under my skirt, leaving this bloody streak across the white floor. I grabbed the steaks and ran out of the party ... "
-
- Jamil then sent a text message to director Judd Apatow in a bid to cover up for her fiasco.
-
- She added: "(I) texted Judd Apatow: 'Sorry, I had to leave. I hope they catch that guy that knocked over Al Pacino'."
-
- This comes after the actress said she had just $17 left in her bank account when she was cast in 'The Good Place'.
-
- The 39-year-old star, who played Tahani Al-Jamil in Mike Schur's beloved sitcom about the afterlife, revealed she "ran out of money" after leaving the BBC Radio 1 Cart Show in 2016, and decided she "wanted to be a writer and a DJ".
-
- She joined her then-musician-partner on tour, but soon found herself struggling.
-
- Appearing on 'David Tennant Does a Podcast With...', she said: " I ran out of money and so I said, ‘Please can I have a job, any job, I will do anything.' I was so desperate for money at that point. I had $17 left in my bank account. I was real keen. But instead I was handed a bunch of auditions."
