Al Pacino wants to appear on 'Dancing with the Stars'.

The Oscar-winning actor has revealed he is planning to follow in the footsteps of close friend, actor George Hamilton - who appeared on the dancing contest in 2006 - in a bid to lose some weight.

He said: "You know, my friend George Hamilton did it and George was terrific and he enjoyed it. If I need to lose a few pounds, maybe I'll try it!"

Meanwhile, Pacino - whose character in new movie '88 Minutes' has a stalker - says he is no stranger to being followed by an overzealous fan.

He added to TV show 'Entertainment Tonight': "I had a stalker in the old days when I was sexy! It was a bit of a nightmare, but it ended and I don't want to start it up again!"

The 67-year-old star also revealed his twin seven-year-old children with ex-girlfriend Beverly D'Angelo are unaware how famous their father is.

He laughed: "They know I'm an actor, but they think everybody's an actor!"
