He is one of the biggest actors in Hollywood.
But Carlito's Way star Al Pacino's physical stature has always been less than grand, a fact underlined by his 10-year-old son Anton dwarfing him by walking along a wall today.
The pair looked like they were having a fabulous time as they went for a stroll in Beverly Hills.
Say hello to my little friend: Al Pacino's son Anton loved having a brief height advantage over his Scarface star father in Beverly Hills today
But when the rapidly growing youngster saw the chance to look down on the Godfather legend, he literally jumped at it.
Anton is Al's son with top actress Beverly D'Angelo, whom he dated between 1996 and 2003, and he has a twin sister Olivia.
Al's height has always been a topic of debate among fans of the high-flying actor.
The heavyweight star has always claimed he is 5'7" in his official biography, despite anecdotal reports he is far shorter.
Back on an even footing: Al was had the advantage on level ground but his son is rapidly catching up
There have even been claims he wears stacked shoes to make him appear an extra few inches taller, a trick also favoured by the likes of Bono and Prince.
The fact his son is already almost as tall as his 71-year-old father will surely pour further fuel on the debate.
However Al did find one way to bring his boy back down to earth - walking to the end of the wall.
No doubt he was relieved to see normal service had been resumed and he was back on top.
The pair then headed to a toy shop, where Al was no doubt indulging in some last minute shopping in the run-up to Christmas.
Carlito's wee: Pint-sized Al carried Anton's lunch as they wandered around a toy shop
Looking around: Anton no doubt had his eye on a few items as they wandered around the toy store
