Following a significant health scare caused by COVID-19, Al Pacino is spending more time reflecting about his own death.
That is at least according to RadarOnline, which claims that the iconic actor has recently switched focus and appears to be ‘haunted’ by the thought of death.
On October 8, the 84-year-old released Sonny Boy, a memoir in which he opened up about his prior issues with drinking as well as the harrowing experience of nearly dying.
According to a source, Al is on his last legs and is well aware of it. These days, he can only talk about his mortality and the past.
“Bringing out his memoir has really brought it all poignantly to the front of his mind, and after he was nearly killed by Covid it’s really all he can think about.”
They reached the conclusion: “But it’s a real credit to him he is still working — and he intends to until he drops.”
In a recent interview with the New York Times, Pacino revealed that he nearly died from Covid in 2020. He stated that he was at home and began to feel “unusually not good,” with dehydration and a temperature.
Pacino claims that after calling for a nurse, he lost vital signs unexpectedly.
“I was sitting in my house and then I was gone. Just like that. “I didn’t have a pulse,” he explained.
Pacino claims he awoke minutes later, surrounded by physicians and paramedics dressed in protective gear (“like they were from outer space or something,” he says).
“It was very frightening to open your eyes and witness that. Everyone was surrounding me, and they said, ‘He’s back. “He’s here,” Pacino recalled to the Times.
“Everybody thought I was dead,” he told People magazine. “The nurse that was taking care of me said, ‘I don’t feel a pulse on this guy.'”
“I thought I had died. I might not have. I honestly don’t think I have. “I know I made it.”
The Scarface star, who will be 85 next year, recently acknowledged that he is struggling to accept his age.
“When I have my hair now and I go out and someone takes a picture of me, all you see is, like, a white hydrant!” the comedian told CBS.
“A white fire hydrant!” I don’t feel gray yet. I do not want to be gray. “I’m the guy on the book cover.”
