Steve Coogan discusses why he made his new movie Philomena. He reflects on his career both in the UK -- where he's often been typecast as a comedian -- and the US -- where he has a loyal but "under the radar cult following." Coogan also discusses his experience of being the object of "tabloid intrusion" and how fighting against the UK tabloid press has brought him self-respect.
