Miki Esparbé reveals he was in a coma when he was six years old
The actor has explained the near-death experience he had as a child
BarcelonaMiki Esparbé, one of the most popular Catalan actors, has been one of the latest guests on the program L'eclipsi, from 3Cat. Roger Escapa's space for intimate and relaxed interviews allows guests to end up explaining things they had never shared with the public, and this is precisely what happened to Esparbé. The actor from Barcelona, nit d'estiu has revealed to the Catalunya Ràdio journalist the near-death experience he had when he was six years old.
Esparbé has recalled how when he was six years old he crossed the road without looking and a van ran him over, sending him flying four meters. "They took me to the Hospital of Vilafranca and something very serious happened: I was in a coma. I was in a coma for thirty or forty minutes. A short, but sufficient time, they have explained to me, for the doctors to have to inform the family. And it was a very big shock for my parents," explains the actor. The protagonist of Smiley assures that, surprisingly, he didn't break anything in that accident and only suffered some bruises.
From that experience Esparbé says he has a very vivid memory. "From that period I remember the green varnish with red stripes that I was wearing when I left the hospital," he says.
In the interview with Escapa, the actor also shares some reflections on how he experiences love. In this regard, he details some of the things he looks for in a partner: "Sense of humor, obviously. Emotional intelligence. Loyalty. I trust a partner with whom you can go to a party and not worry. That each one lives their own life, that they enjoy life. And to know that you come home at the end of the night saying: 'It was great that we had such a good time.' Yes, I trust that a lot."
