The last few months I didn’t set foot in my house despite the fact that I was very happy for everything that has happened to me, ‘CODA’, the Oscar and three series. I was very happy, but I felt a bit suffocated, I felt like I was in jail because I had no life and no days off. This accident happened because of that, it was my soul asking to stop.
Missing a day to return to my house was that this happened. The month before I was doing very risky things because I love adrenaline. I was with my son in a river of crocodiles and nothing happened to me.

Eugenio took the time to detail the accident that caused him to lose consciousness due to intense pain.
My son told me to play a virtual reality game, I put on the headset and I was in a multi-story building. I was standing on a small board, I tripped over something, I fell on the floor and at the time I walk, I take a step out of what in my mind, in what my brain recorded, as if there was a little board where I had to be stopped; the moment I feel like I’m tripping, I get out of there and virtual reality makes me start to fall into the void. What I saw and what my brain was registering did not match my surroundings and when I wanted to react, I did not react to what was on the side, but to what I was seeing and I moved my feet and tripped and ran into some steps what was there
The fact is that I fell with all my weight on my shoulders; hit my elbow first and when I land with all my weight on the elbow, it pushes this bone, which is the humerus, up and it comes out here. It didn’t break my skin, but it did come off and on its way it broke everything that was there. In the hospitals they told me that many people arrive injured by these games. I told us to go to the hospital quickly, I started screaming because I couldn’t stand it and they decided to anesthetize me. The doctor told me that they couldn’t operate on me because I had suffered 5 large fractures and 10 small ones.
During the broadcast, the actor received messages of support and good wishes from his followers, who hope that his recovery will be quick and successful.
