In an interview with a US media outlet, the Oscar-winning actor reflected on the deterioration of his health due to an infection which resulted in dehydration.
“My pulse was gone. It was so — you’re here, you’re not. I thought: Wow, you don’t even have your memories. You have nothing. Strange porridge,” said Al Pacino. “What happened was, I felt not good — unusually not good. Then I had a fever, and I was getting dehydrated and all that. So I got someone to get me a nurse to hydrate me. I was sitting there in my house, and I was gone. Like that. I didn’t have a pulse.”
Recalling the incident during the Covid, the Hollywood actor said that an ambulance with six paramedics arrived at his home within minutes to attend him.
“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. It was kind of shocking to open your eyes and see that. Everybody was around me, and they said: ‘He’s back. He’s here,’” Al Pacino added.
