Washington, November 5 (ANI): Filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola apparently believes that his fellow Martin Scorsese makes films only for financial gains.

The The Godfather director said that Scorsese was utilising his creativity only to generate enough bucks to support his four ex-wives and current spouse Helen Morris, with whom he tied the knot in 1999.

"He's making movies because he needs to make a certain amount of money because he has a big family and many previous wives," Contactmusic quoted Coppola as telling Empire magazine.

Coppola's remark comes despite the fact that he and Scorsese are long-time friends.

Recently, he also criticised Robert De Niro, Jack Nicholson, and Al Pacino for changing the ambition they showed while beginning their acting careers.

He said that the actors had set their minds on money, even though the actors had already gotten richer. (ANI)
