Theron, 49, threw a gangster-themed party she dubbed “The Godfatheron” and transformed into Pfeiffer’s Elvira Hancock, the wife of Tony Montana, played by Al Pacino in 1983's Scarface.
The Mad Max: Fury Road star also stepped behind the lens to do her own photo shoot while dressed up as the character and posted the stunning images on her Instagram on Dec. 11. The carousel featured nine shots of herself as Hancock followed by a still of Pfeiffer, 66, as she appeared in Brian De Palma’s classic gangster film.
“An ode to the best to ever do it. Love you @michellepfeifferofficial ❤️,” Theron wrote in the caption.
Pfeiffer responded, sharing her appreciation for the uncanny resemblance.
“WOW. Im speechless. Love you too❤️🔥,” she commented on the post.
Released on Dec. 9, 1983, Scarface — which is famous for the line, “Say hello to my little friend!” — turned 41 this year and is often cited as one of the greatest gangster films of all time. In addition to Pfeiffer and Pacino, the movie stars Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Robert Loggia, Steven Bauer and F. Murray Abraham.
