“What does not kill you makes you stronger”

On August 29, the Thai court will decide the future of Daniel Sanchoaccused of the premeditated murder of the Colombian surgeon Edwin Arrieta. These days his father, Rodolfo Sanchois currently promoting his latest film, A Walk Through the Borne, and has revealed how he is carrying out this particular countdown: “I’m not bitter, I’m not depressed. I’m fighting in life and I firmly believe that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger and wiser.”

The actor attended the program this Monday EsCine of EsRadiowhere he spoke with Andrés Arconada. Calm and collected, he spoke calmly about his son’s situation, although without going into too many details: “Life can be seen in one way or another. I try to lead my life and everything can be seen as misfortunes or challenges. I prefer to see life as a challenge and move forward.”

Words that are practically identical to those he uttered in the documentary he signed with HBO about the event and which served, among other things, to get a financial injection (150,000 euros) with which to support and defend his son, imprisoned in Koh Samui since last August. “My son He said that he had a fight with a guy I knew nothing about and that it had ended tragically. It wasn’t a very long conversation, but it didn’t need any more. In the end, I’m a father fighting for a son. And that’s the great driving force to avoid falling into depression,” he said at the time. “Everything is a learning experience. Why do things happen to you? Who is anyone to judge what happens to you and why in a world where no one has the slightest idea of ​​what life is about?” Statements that were heavily criticized: “I have the perspective that there are two victims here. There is undoubtedly one deceased, and that is terrible. I have eliminated the concept of life imprisonment from my mind, we are hoping that he will be declared not guilty.”

Last week, Rodolfo presented the film in Mallorca and did not avoid personal questions either: “I’m still settling everything. It’s a process… Before, I was asked whether actors should or should not talk about politics and, for the same reason that I don’t understand why my opinions on politics should be relevant, I don’t understand why my personal life interests anyone.For the same reason that I don’t understand why my opinions on something I don’t know should matter, I don’t understand why everyone feels the need to butt into my personal life just because I’m a well-known actor.” And he added: “It’s a very strange feeling. Suddenly, you have a problem, something is wrong with you, and everyone feels entitled to talk about you.. I wonder: if you decide to be an actor at 17, where is it written that from that moment on everyone can talk about your life? And what is this about anyone being able to take a photo of you with their cell phone for being in a public place? Does that make sense?
