The
veteran actor said that he felt "spared" and "lucky" that he is yet to
have been derailed by the mental health condition that has led to the
deaths of so many – including
Robin Williams.
Speaking at Venice Film Festival, he said: "I may be depressed but I don't know about it.
"People go into depression and it's very, very sad and it can last and it's terrifying.
"I know that, I've had bouts with stuff that comes close to that, but not with that intensity. I feel spared, I feel lucky."
"In Godfather II, I would imagine Michael Corleone was depressed," he added.
