As a fan, I can’t help but be in awe of Al Pacino’s resilience and the richness of his life experiences. His near-death encounter with COVID-19 serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of life, yet his philosophical reflections on death, drawn from his vast knowledge of Shakespeare, are nothing short of profound.
Al Pacino is detailing his experience with a really bad case of COVID-19 in 2020.
Prior to the launch of his new memoir titled “Sonny Boy”, the renowned actor had an exclusive interview with The New York Times. In this discussion, the leading man from “Scarface” shared candidly about his brush with death due to COVID-19, before vaccines were in circulation.
At that moment, he wasn’t feeling quite right, and later developed a fever and became dehydrated.
He explained that he arranged for a nurse to provide him with fluids, but suddenly found himself unconscious at home, without a heartbeat. Minutes later, an ambulance arrived outside his house. Inside his living room, there were multiple paramedics and two doctors, dressed in what seemed like alien costumes.
As I blinked open my eyes, the sight before me left me utterly astounded – a sea of faces surrounding me. They exclaimed, “He’s back! He’s here!” It was an exhilarating moment for me, knowing I had returned to this gaming world.
When inquired about whether his experience left any “metaphysical effects,” the Academy Award-winning actor responded affirmatively, explaining that there were indeed repercussions as he hadn’t encountered a bright light or anything similar.
There’s nothing left. As Hamlet puts it, ‘To be or not to be’; ‘The unknown land from which no traveler returns.’ And he simply says, ‘No more.’ The Godfather actor explained, “It was over. You were gone. I had never considered it before. But actors like to say they’ve died once. What does it mean when there’s nothing left?
Over time, as he’s grown older at the age of 84, he’s observed a shift in his perspective towards death. He expressed that he finds a sense of comfort in having offspring and in knowing that a substantial collection of work will continue to be appreciated by others even after he’s gone.
As I journey through the years, it’s only normal for my perspective on death to evolve. It’s simply the path life takes. I never sought this change, it just happened, much like how some challenges or blessings unexpectedly appear in a game.
