Al Pacino Details Near-Death Experience: He ‘Didn’t Have a Pulse’ During COVID Battle

Al Pacino had a close call during a 2020 bout with COVID-19, saying in a new interview that at one point he didn’t have a pulse.

“What happened was, I felt not good — unusually not good,” the Scarface actor told The New York Times Magazine. “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.”
