Javier Belgeri He is remembered for the role he held tail brigade (1992-1994). Nico was there, Guillermo Francella’s partner. At the time, at his young age, he was considered a great promise in acting, something he was ultimately unable to achieve. Among other factors, due to their addictions. in the cycle of free beings (TV Chronicle), Belgeri confessed.
“I started at age 13. My first addiction was alcohol. That’s where I got my first fart and hit it hard. That was a door that opened, physically or spiritually, for me I went straight non-stop to cocaine”he underlined in dialogue with Gastón Pauls.
“The mambo felt that adrenaline of believing me the lion and speaking, I felt more lucid. I was 14. And at 15 I was already sunk in a sea of cocaine that didn’t end up killing me because I think it was the hand of God,” he acknowledged. And he added: “I had hallucinations. In a room, covered up and lying down, I saw mice that looked at me with lighted eyes and walked away, and I also saw the grim reaper reflected These things scared me but I still continued because my body asked me to. He locked me up just for drinks.
“My parents find out that I was consuming alcohol, they punish me, they don’t let me go out for 3 months. Until they kept calling me to do jobs and had to let me go to work. I didn’t drink when I worked, but when I went bowling or we went to a country house to have fun…”, he stressed. And then he exemplified the problems that his addiction brought him at a time when he was still working as an actor: “In the middle of the premiere of Brigada Cola, I had to be at rehearsals at 11 and at 9 I was vomiting disco Ramos Mejía on the shoulder of my cousin”.
“When the Cola Brigade ended, I became friends with one person, I created a musical group: ‘Los Nicos’, but my addiction had spread widely and they crucified me to this day,” he said.
“I fell into a terrible depression because of the other things I was consuming. He had started using paco. It is very addictive, it is something that seduces you, that is rich, that your body likes and that blocks you. I don’t know how God did it, but he took me out. I spent 9 months, ended up on the street, until I went to the Borda hospital and asked the doctors for help, ”she said and then told how he began to leave drugs.
“I looked in the mirror and said ‘I have to stop this madness’, it clicked and I went to the hospital crying and asked to be admitted.“, she told the turning point in her life. “I clung to the doctors, I listened to them, and the first thing I recovered was my mother, my father, who saw us 10 years ago, my daughter and my brother,” he said.
Finally, at Pauls’ request, Belgeri left a message for anyone curious to try a drug: “That he doesn’t, because he’s going to go into a place he won’t know how to get out of, that he doesn’t flirt with sin, with dark things. There may come a time when the darkness won’t let you go. There are people that the darkness won’t let go and they end up dying or the people around them end up hurting.”
