“I didn’t see the white light or anything like that,” the 84-year-old actor said of his brush with death. “There’s nothing there.”
Al Pacino revealed on a podcast over the weekend that he almost died during a bout with Covid-19 — a near-death experience that left him pondering his mortality.
Pacino, 84, was plugging his memoir, “Sonny Boy.” on The New York Times’ podcast “The Interview” when he recounted how in 2020 he fell sick at his home from Covid and the situation quickly became dicey.
Pacino said that he had a fever and was dehydrated with a faint pulse and that he lost consciousness.
“Look. I know your loved ones died… And that’s tragic. But listen about how hard it was for me to suffer through in the comfort of my own home surrounded by some of the best medical staff money could buy.”
