“I’ll try to be brief and explain how I can do it best. The truth is, I was delaying the decision to share my current reality with you, without it involving the slightest intention of overwhelming you. Nothing more, it is only necessary because my soul tells me to make this confession to you, which is already hard for me“He started saying on Instagram.

“What I do know is that I do not share it as a fact that should arouse pity or sadness. Perhaps, the decision is conceived of my essence of loyalty and sincerity with all those human beings with whom I somehow relate. The fog covered my eyes. Other things happen to other people, this happened to me“, discovery.

“And as Saramago would say: ‘There is a lot of blindness in the world and this evil is spreading. Of course this is not just physical blindness. Or at least I think we are not in a world where we use reason rationally. We use that ratio, for example, to get to the moon. But we can’t use it to reach people, which is the closest universe we have, ‘”she concluded.

Furthermore, at the end of the letter, the actor expressed his “infinite gratitude” to all who read his words which, according to what he said, “were not easy for him to confess”. “I hope you get a strong and always sincere hug from me. Juan,” he said goodbye.
