Al Pacino, one of the greatest American actors of all time, recently revealed that he had a near-death experience in 2020.
Luckily for Al Pacino and his millions of fans across the world, the actor survived and is both alive and well. Unfortunately, though, Pacino believes he came back with some news about what we can expect on the other side, and it isn’t good.
According to the legendary Oscar winner, there is “nothing” after you die: “You’re gone.”
“I didn’t see the white light or anything. There’s nothing there,” Pacino told the New York Times of his near-death experience in 2020.
“As Hamlet says, ‘To be or not to be’; “The undiscovered country from whose bourn, no traveler returns.” And he says two words: ‘no more.’ It was no more. You’re gone. I’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’s no more?”
Pacino most recently appeared in the 2024 film Knox Goes Away, which was directed by Michael Keaton.
He also produced and will feature in the Johnny Depp-directed film Modì, Three Days on the Wing of Madness, which is set to premiere at the Rome Film Festival later this month.
Pacino had a handful of films in various stages of production such as Billy Knight, In the Hand of Dante, Killing Castro, Lear Rex, The Ritual, and Easy’s Waltz.
