A Gift from His Daughter
Pacino explained that the Shrek case was a gift from his youngest daughter, Olivia. She had borrowed his phone and returned it adorned with the whimsical cover. He recalled her enthusiastic words: “It’s Shrek, Dad!” to which he responded, “Wow. Okay babe, I’ll hold onto it.”
