Madonna 'stuck her tongue in Al Pacino's ear' when they first met in the late 1970s... before co-starring in Dick Tracy a decade later
Madonna reportedly stuck her tongue in Al Pacino's ear when they first met at a group dinner in New York City sometime between 1978-1979.
At the time, the 65-year-old Queen of Pop was just an aspiring modern dancer from Michigan living in an apartment in the East Village's Alphabet City and working at Dunkin' Donuts.
The 83-year-old acting legend - who's only a Grammy away from elite EGOT status - had already starred in the first two Godfather films, Dog Day Afternoon, won a Golden Globe for Serpico, and won two Tony Awards for Broadway plays by 1979.
Madge had 'called attention to her mouth' by slowly chewing gum in front of Al during the dinner, and the incident was said to have happened when his colleague Ed Setrakian drove everyone home.
'That friend of your daughter [Whitley Hill]'s stuck her tongue in my ear,' Pacino allegedly told Setrakian in a story from Mary Gabriel's 880-page biography Madonna: A Rebel Life, which hit shelves on Tuesday.

The seven-time Grammy winner was said to have been roommates with Whitley - whose father Ed worked with The Hunters actor in Wilde Salomé (2011), Broadway play Salome (2003), and Looking for Richard (1996).
A decade later, Al and Madonna reunited on the Burbank set of 1938-set crime comedy Dick Tracy in which they portrayed mob boss Alphonse 'Big Boy' Caprice and his singing girlfriend Breathless 'The Blank' Mahoney.
'Whenever Al put his prosthetics on, his suit, he was a gross pig. And he's not that way in real life – he's very gracious, and well-mannered, and gentlemanly, and sweet,' the self-made superstar told author Mike Bonifer in the Dick Tracy BTS book.
'As Big Boy, he would tell me the dirtiest jokes and suck on his cigar like it was some sort of weird phallic symbol, and just be a pig. He was always smacking my butt and my face. I hated him, I loathed him, I was disgusted with him. And so what happened off-camera was that I'd always try to be moving away from him, and he'd always grab me and go "Get over here!" which is exactly what happened in the movie.
'Every time I expressed my distaste for him, he would smack me, which is also what happened in the movie. I got mad. He made me cry sometimes. There was a scene where he kept smacking me in the stomach, and it would sting, and what made me cry was not so much the hit, but the fact that Warren [Beatty] wouldn't stop [rolling]. He would just keep going, and I was humiliated. So it worked, because that's what's happening to Breathless – she's totally humiliated by Big Boy.'
Madonna - who only earned scale ($35K) for the movie - ended her whirlwind on-set romance with director-star Warren Beatty shortrly after the June 1990 premiere.
The twice-divorced mother-of-six - who was hospitalized June 24 for 'a serious bacterial infection' - is scheduled to kick off her 78-date Celebration Tour with a sold-out concert at the O2 Arena in London this Saturday.

On-set fling: Madonna - who only earned scale ($35K) for the movie - ended her whirlwind romance with Dick Tracy director-star Warren Beatty (R) shortly after the June 1990 premiere
Madonna reportedly teamed up with creative director Lewis James and musical director Stuart Price to dream up her most spectacular stage presentation for her 12th concert tour honoring her four-decade career.
Rather than a band or singer, the Vulgar singer enlisted RuPaul's Drag Race #8 champ Bob the Drag Queen to serve opening act duties for her.
Here's hoping things go better this time as Madonna's knee and hip injuries forced her to cancel 14 shows of her prior 75-date The Madame X Tour back in 2019-2020.
As the coronavirus pandemic put the final nail in her tour's coffin, the two-time Golden Globe winner underwent knee surgery in April 2020 followed by hip surgery in November 2020 as well as 'regenerative treatment for my missing cartilage.'
Madonna plans to eventually embark on her self-directed Universal Pictures biopic - titled Little Sparrow - starring three-time Emmy winner Julia Garner.
The Material Girl co-wrote the script with Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody, who was later replaced by Independent Spirit Award-winning screenwriter Erin Wilson (The Girl on the Train, Secretary).
Worryingly, Madonna previously helmed two dismally-reviewed box office bombs - Filth and Wisdom in 2008 and W.E. in 2011
