Diane Keaton reveals why she hasn’t watched The Godfather in 30 years: ‘I was an OUTSIDER’

Speaking at the Festival, she said: “I was so shocked because I never did pay that much attention to The Godfather.

“I always thought I was the most outsider, weird person in the movie, and, ‘Why was I cast in it?’ and I had no voice. But then I had a couple of good scenes with Al.”

Despite the long break from a re-watch, Keaton revealed she has now seen The Godfather again.

The actress continued: “I saw it on my computer. I hadn’t seen it for I think about 30 years. And I looked at 1, and I just remember all the people, I couldn’t handle it, it was so astonishing, it was so beautiful, and everybody is so great in it, and the music, and every choice [Francis Ford Coppola] made.”

She added: “And that damn Talia — I saw you in that scene with all the fighting. And then you had slow, long scenes. 

“Everything was astonishing to me. And I was totally surprised because I didn’t expect it. And on a f***ing computer.”
