Al Pacino is a legendary actor and laureate Oscar for the role in movie “Scent of a Woman”. This year the star turned 84. In one of his latest interviews, Pacino talked about a dramatic incident from recent years. It turns out that the actor experienced clinical death during the coronavirus pandemic. He revealed the details.
Al Pacino came close to death. “I had no pulse”
In an interview with the online edition of the New York Times, Al Pacino admitted that the incident took place at his home. At one point he felt so bad that he informed his colleagues. – I felt sick, extremely sick. Then I got a fever, dehydration and so on. I asked someone to send a nurse to hydrate me. I was sitting at home and suddenly I was gone. Just like that. I had no pulse – said Al Pacino. A few minutes later, an ambulance appeared in front of the Hollywood star's house. Thanks to the quick intervention of doctors, the actor was saved.
Al Pacino did not experience “white light”. “There's nothing there”
Fever and dehydration led to the actor's cardiac arrest. He was saved by the quick intervention of medical services. – IN living room there were about six paramedics and two doctors who were wearing outfits that looked like they were from outer space or something. It was kind of shocking to open your eyes and see it. Everyone stood around me and said: “He's back. He's with us,” the actor reported. Al Pacino also revealed how he remembers the moment of clinical death. People who experience such a moment often confess that they saw a “white light”. It turns out that in the case of the American actor it was different. Now Pacino doubts that anything could be on the other side. – I didn't see white light or anything like that. “There's nothing there”. As Hamlet says, “To be or not to be.” (…) And he adds two words: “nothing more.” It was “nothing more”. You're gone. I've never thought about it in my life. But you know actors: it's good to say that I died once, said Al Pacino.
