Dustin Hoffman believed he was going to die when he was discovered in bed with a married woman by her irate husband.

“I was having an affair with a married woman,” the Oscar winner revealed on a Nov. 9 episode of Conan O’Brien’s podcast. “And she thought that once her husband went to sleep, that he stayed asleep.”

The “Tootsie” star, who said that the illicit relationship happened when he was a young man, was invited over by the woman after her husband fell asleep.

“And there we are having a festival of sorts and he walked in with a gun,” he shared. “And he pointed at me. And he said, I remember what he says, ‘Get out, get out.’”

Hoffman, 89, vividly remembered what it was like having a gun drawn on him and thinking that he was “gonna die.”

“When you have a gun pointed at you, first of all, that hole is much bigger than the actual hole,” he recalled “And you realize how, any second, any second he’s going to pull that trigger, because his finger is on the trigger. And you think … and you realize, it’s it … I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die the next second.”

“And you do anything, you will do anything, you know, to avoid getting killed.”

Hoffman is currently promoting his memoir, “Look at Me.”

In a previous excerpt, Hoffman revealed that making “The Graduate” had been a terrible experience,writing that director Mike Nichols became “an entirely different person” once shooting began.

Hoffman remembered, “His mood would shift dramatically. I don’t remember the scene, but I will never forget Mike’s acid voice saying to me, after one take: ‘What were you doing?’ … Do the opposite of that.’”

Nevertheless, the movie was a huge hit and earned the actor his first Oscar nomination.

“Look at Me” hits shelves on Nov. 10.
