Secun de la Rosa has managed to win the affection of many through his roles in various series and plays. His interpretation of Toni Colmenero in Aída ended up giving him the success that later helped him participate in other important fictions such as Amar es para siempre, Paquita Salas or Cristo y Rey.
A lifetime dedicated to the world of acting that began with his training in Dramatic Art at the age of 20. And it is about that stage of his life in which he was immersed in learning where he lived hard experiences that he has not hesitated to explain in La cena de los idiotés de Hora 25 (Cadena SER).
Nowadays, it is not unusual to see someone on the subway or train with a book in their hand, although it is more common to see a mobile phone. However, there are people who have not had good experiences from reading on their journeys, and one of them has been Secun de la Rosa. The actor has not hesitated to put on the table the problems that he had during the 80s due to being immersed in reading.
“I have never gone through life as a sufferer, I always go with a little smile and such, but on the metro from Lluchmajor to Paseo de Gracia I have been beaten by some people…”, he began to relate in the aforementioned program.
“In the 80s you were reading a play by Tennessee Williams or Romeo and Juliet, which made you want to do theatre, and if the Lluchmajor quinquis saw you reading a book, simply reading a book was the focus of going after you” , has added. Something that, although it happened to him on more than one occasion, did not prevent him from continuing to pursue his favorite hobby.
“‘Hey, what are you doing reading a book, what’s wrong’ and they slapped you in the face,” are some of the attacks he suffered during that period of his life for having a manuscript in his hand. Given this, he assures that he had to look for solutions to avoid getting hurt: “Like, half laugh at the aggression to see if you would be saved.”
After this testimony, there have been many who have sided with Secun, or completely the opposite. Even the writer Lorenzo Silva wanted to comment on the matter. “I was born in Madrid in the 60s. I read on the subway for hundreds of hours in the 80s,” he began to express before making it clear that similar events did not happen to him.
A response for which he has received hundreds of comments expressing that it was just the “personal experience” of Secun de la Rosa, and that there is no reason to “ridicule” him for it. Seeing this, Silva had to qualify his words a few hours later.
“I never said that anyone who has another experience lies, I limit myself to telling mine,” the writer said. “To anyone who had a bad time reading, I would not be far from willing to ridicule them. I only note that it was not something inexorable,” he concluded. Without a doubt, the actor’s story has raised eyebrows on social networks.
