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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The &#8216;Godfather&#8217; star explained how he lost consciousness after he started feeling &#8220;unusually not good&#8221; as he contracted Covid at an unspecified time and stated that he had &#8220;never thought&#8221; about death beforehand.<\/p>\n<p>\nPacino recalled: &#8220;I didn&#8217;t see the white light or anything. There&#8217;s nothing there. I&#8217;d never thought about it in my life. But you know actors: It sounds good to say I died once. What is it when there&#8217;s no more?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nDespite his brush with death, the &#8216;Scarface&#8217; actor says that his children &#8211; Julie, 34, twins Anton and Olivia, 23, as well as one-year-old Roman from his various relationships &#8211; are &#8220;consolation&#8221; and that he no longer finds discussing death to be &#8220;morbid&#8221; now that he is older.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;It&#8217;s just the way it is.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I didn&#8217;t ask for it.
