In 2020, a COVID infection brought AI Pacino as close to dying as he has ever been. "They said my pulse was gone. It was so - you're here, you're not," he says. "I thought: Wow, you don't even have your memories. You have nothing."

At 84, the acclaimed actor and father of four is taking stock of his life with a new memoir, Sonny Boy, which chronicles everything from his upbringing in New York's South Bronx to his career highlights to the birth of his youngest child, son Roman, last year. "He's learning things," AI says of the toddler he's co-parenting with his ex Noor Alfallah.
