A poll uploaded on Twitter has sparked a hilarious debate among users over who's hotter - young Robert De Niro or young Al Pacino.

On May 14, a woman named Ashley Reese took to the social media platform to share a vote asking her followers to choose which actor was more attractive at a younger age.

"At a wedding and having a big debate right now. Please vote," the user - who goes by the handle @offbeatorbit - penned. As of this writing, the tweet has garnered 26.6 million views and has 12.7K likes.

Check out the tweet below:

Shortly after the post was made, users of the Twitterverse got quickly - and rather seriously - invested. They flooded the site with flattering videos and pictures of the actors to back up their claims.

One fan who preferred Al Pacino wrote: "Yo De Niro I’m really happy for you and I’ll let you finish but AL PACINO HAD ONE OF THE BEST FACES OF ALL TIME. ONE OF THE BEST FACES OF ALL TIME."

Another supporter posted a video edit of the 83-year-old Scarface star and said: "One question: Does Robert de Niro have a fancam set to west coast by Lana del Rey that I watch obsessively?"

A third person remarked: "The only correct answer is Pacino. I can’t even believe this is up for debate.. like have y’all not seen his 1961 mugshot photo? or the letter he wrote to diane keaton??? al pacino is for the girls

After being up for 24 hours, the poll concluded after 277,372 users voted. There was no winner in this wild debate as it resulted in a "50%" tie between the two Hollywood stars.

While the debate has not been resolved, the original poster of the tweet has made it clear that she is a proud member of team Pacino.

"HAVE YOU PPL NOT SEEN DOG DAY AFTERNOON???" Reese tweeted in all caps, adding a picture of him in his role as Sonny in the 1975 crime drama based on real-life events.
