ACTOR James Caan not only shot to fame by playing a mobster — he was one himself!
Sources from both sides of the law say the late star, whose career went gangbusters after he portrayed hotheaded gangster Sonny Corleone in 1972’s The Godfather, was a wise guy in real life.
After Caan’s death at 82 on July 6, he was ratted out by one of the most notorious gangsters of all — feared Mafia underboss Sammy “The Bull” Gravano.
“He was in the mob,” declares Gravano, who was John Gotti’s hit man turned informant.
Gravano claims Caan was a “close” Mafia associate and asked the late New York crime boss Joseph Colombo for his blessing to appear in The Godfather.
