Al Pacino is getting candid about a particularly scary moment while suffering from COVID-19. The “Godfather” actor, 84, shared that he had a near-death experience where his heart stopped — and paramedics had to bring him back to life.
Pacino told The New York Times in an interview published Saturday that he was “sitting there in my house and I was gone” after falling unconscious while battling the virus, reportedly in 2020. “I didn’t have a pulse,” he recalled. “In a matter of minutes they were there — the ambulance in front of my house.
I had about six paramedics in that living room, and there were two doctors, and they had these outfits on that looked like they were from outer space or something.”The Oscar winner had one of his employees bring over a nurse after he started to feel “unusually not good.” Pacino’s symptoms included having a fever and being dehydrated before suddenly losing consciousness.“I didn’t see the white light or anything,” he continued. “There’s nothing there. ‘I’d never thought about it in my life.
