STARS WHO CHEATED DEATH

AVOIDING THE AFTERLIFE IS ALL IN A DAY'S WORK FOR THESE A-LISTERS

EMILIA CLARKE

The Game of Thrones actress has danced with death twice - both times as a result of life-threatening brain aneurysms. "I immediately felt as though an elastic band were squeezing my brain," Clarke, 39, told British Vogue of the first health crisis, which happened while she was at the gym in 2011. She would later find out that roughly a third of subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) sufferers "die immediately or soon thereafter".

AL PACINO

The Hollywood legend said he “temporarily” died from a severe case of COVID in 2020. “I was sitting there in my house, and I was gone. Like that. I didn’t have a pulse,” the 85-year-old told The New York Times, while promoting his memoir, Sonny Boy.

Just like Foxx, Pacino “didn’t see the white light or anything” and remarked that “there's nothing there”.

Thankfully, an ambulance arrived and they were able to get the Godfather actor's pulse going again. “I thought I experienced death,” he recalled. “Everybody was around me, and they said, ‘He's back. He's here.’”
