The Évole thing has landed one more Sunday in LaSexta. On this occasion, Ignatius Farray sat down, face to face, with Jordi Évole to talk about how humor can change people’s thinking, as well as making clear his positions on politics, football and his personal life.
The Canarian comedian has reflected on success and failure and has talked about his separation and his problems with alcohol. Ignatius opened up to Jordi Évole and has defined himself as “a rather naive and innocent person”.
Ignatius Farray has spoken with Jordi Évole about his mental health problems and how he developed an addiction to drinking: “I fell into alcoholism. My psychiatrist told me that he did not consider my problem to be alcoholism itself, but anxiety, compulsiveness” , has explained.
“My performances were basically a drunk with a microphone in front of drunks with claim sheets. I found the cowardly refuge of drink”, Ignatius commented visibly serious before a stunned Jordi Évole.
In addition, he has ensured that his performances in bars and nightclubs had an impact on his addiction: “One thing leads to another, so you go very to an open grave, very crazy. That was a bottomless pit. It was a wheel that gave me It went over the top”, recalled the comedian.
Ignatius has defined his addictions like this: “Alcohol, cigarettes and pornography. That became a kind of triangle from which he did not leave.” “Porn addiction is not being able to stop watching porn, while you’re drunk and smoking and hours and days go by,” he added.
The comedian has confessed that he entered a vicious circle: “You are jerking off watching porn, from exhaustion you get sleepy, you sleep a little, you wake up again, you continue masturbating… It is literally a vicious circle”, he has commented visibly serious.
The situation he was experiencing led Ignatius to completely isolate himself: “You feel so ashamed that of course you don’t want any social treatment in those moments.” The comedian has also talked about another of the most complicated moments in his life: the separation of his wife.
“At the moment when the mother of my son and I decided to separate, it is not an easy moment, especially thinking about our son. It is a delicate situation,” he explained. “It makes you stagger a bit, because you don’t know if you’re doing the best you can and you want everything to go well. It’s a situation of vital instability,” she added.
