He revealed that he “didn’t have a pulse” and he “experienced death”. I might not have. I don’t think I have. I know I made it.”
“I don’t think I died. Everybody thought I was dead. How could I be dead? If I was dead, I fainted,” he added, “And when I opened my eyes, there were six paramedics in my living room. There was an ambulance outside the door and two of my doctors in those space suits [like] on Mars. I looked around and I thought, ‘What happened to me?’ “
“So I couldn’t have died, because how did all those people gather together, the ambulance in front of my house?” shared Pacino.
In 2024, Pacino was seen in ‘Modi, Three Days on the Wing of Madness’, a film about Amedeo Modigliani, which he co-produced alongside Johnny Depp and Barry Navidi. (ANI)
