Discover the incredible and revelatory autobiography from one of the most iconic actors in the history of film. *THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER* *A Times and Sunday Times Best Book of 2024* 'A 5 ft 7in Hollywood giant ... Al Pacino's readably eccentric memoir really preserves his Bronx-reared turn of phrase...you can imagine (every line) coming out of Pacino's mouth' The Times 'Startlingly cinematic ... A fine memoir' Guardian 'Surprising, introspective ... His youth was grim, his money troubles serious, his fame unlikely. Al Pacino's friends all died in poverty. How did he survive?' Telegraph 'The book is a beautiful trip ... (from) one of the world's greatest, most influential actors for more than 50 years. He's audacious. He's outrageous. He's Al Pacino' The New York Times 'Funny and candid' Evening Standard __________________________________________________________________________ To the wider world, Al Pacino exploded onto the scene like a supernova. He landed his first leading role, in The Panic in Needle Park, in 1971, and by 1975, he had starred in four movies - The Godfather and The Godfather Part II, Serpico, and Dog Day Afternoon - that were not just successes, but landmarks in the history of film. In reality, Pacino was in his mid-thirties by then, and had already lived several lives. Growing up in New York City's South Bronx and raised by a loving but mentally unwell mother, Pacino worked odd jobs to support himself. But, in good times and bad, in poverty and in wealth and in poverty again, through pain and joy, acting was his lifeline, its community his tribe. Exploring his iconic roles, essential collaborations, and important relationships, as well as the ever-present struggle between creativity and commerce, Sonny Boy is the revelatory account of an incredible life. This is the memoir of a man who has nothing left to fear and nothing left to hide. _________________________________________________________________________ 'Soulful...Pacino explores his life with eccentric charm...Shot through with self-deprecating honesty to with the well-worn Pacino swagger...You can almost hear him saying all of this in recognizably Pacino-like tones...Pacino has done such a high volume of great work that reading 'Sonny Boy; often feels like hanging out within a history of American movies over the last 50 years' LA Times 'A beautiful...brilliant book' Dermot O'Leary 'Conversational, breezily readable, reflective...Dives deep into Pacino's career highlights and low points' Washington Post 'Miraculous' Conan O'Brien Praise for Al Pacino: 'So unique and special' Robert De Niro 'Al Pacino is magical' Martin Scorsese 'A legend' Francis Ford Coppola 'Charming, hilarious, a nonstop talker. There is an aspect of him that is like a lost orphan, like this kind of crazy idiot savant' Diane Keaton 'A wicked sense of humour' Oliver Stone 'As Michael in The Godfather, Pacino was everything I wanted that character to be on screen. I couldn't believe it. It was, in my eyes, a perfect performance, a work of art' Mario Puzo, author of The Godfather 'Comedic, talented, and certifiably insane' Johnny Depp 'Al is money, the man in charge, making it happen. I got to act with Al Pacino and it was worth more to me than anything' Samuel L Jackson *A Sunday Times bestseller October 2024
