James Caan's family has announced the sad news that the Elf actor died aged 82 yesterday 😔
Confirming the news of his death, this family penned to his official Twitter account: "It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of Jimmy on the evening of July 6.
As well as The Godfather and Elf, James was well known for starring in films such as The Good Neighbor, Brian's Song, Misery and Rollerball."This one stings. Farewell to the blistering, broad shouldered powerhouse talent that was James Caan," wrote one fan. A third person went on: "James Caan swooping in during the flashback scene at the end of The Godfather Part II is one of the all-time great star reveals. You can practically hear the audience cheering. RIP to a real one."
The late 82 year old's acting career began after being cast in 1971's Brian Song, but James wasn't properly propelled into the limelight until after bagging his role in The Godfather a year later.
