Al Pacino on near-death, The Godfather and his phone case

Hollywood actor Al Pacino has spent a lot of time recently looking back over his life, because at the age of 84, the star of films including Dog Day Afternoon, Heat and The Irishman has written his autobiography, titled Sonny Boy, after what his mother called him.

The star talks to the BBC's Colin Paterson about fatherhood, his film career, and a brush with death.

Sonny Boy by Al Pacino is out now.

A one-hour version of this interview will be broadcast on BBC 2 on 25 October at 21:00 BST
