Actor Al Pacino recently collected an honorary patronage from Dublin's Trinity College Philosophical Society.

At the ceremony, the Godfather star was given a standing ovation and, according to the BBC, revealed that he was keen to make a film in Ireland.

Whilst researching his new film documentary, Salomaybe, about the life of Oscar Wilde, Pacino admitted to never having felt "such warmth or so at ease."

The film is based on Pacino's quest to find out more about Wilde and his influences for writing Salome, published in 1892.

The Hollywood star will also speak to some Trinity students about the author's time at the college.
