El actor estuvo en ‘Hoy Día’ donde habló de sus nuevos retos profesionales y de los oscuros momentos que vivió
Luego de pasar por los momentos más oscuros de su vida por las adicciones al alcohol y las drogas , Rafael Amaya resurgió de las cenizas y está listo para retomar sus proyectos profesionales y personales. El actor de 44 años fue el invitado especial de Hoy Día (Telemundo) y habló sin tapujos de los días tan duros que vivió por las adicciones, además de dejarse ver más repuesto, saludable y sobre todo, feliz por los proyectos que vienen, como su participación en la serie de Malverde: el santo patrón, la cual se estrenará a finales de este año.
Amaya, quien estuvo ingresado en una de las clínicas de rehabilitación del boxeador Julio César Chávez, reveló que llegó a sentirse fuera de sí. “Yo estaba perdido, estaba aislado del mundo, estaba enojado con todos pero no era yo, yo antes de perdonar a los demás, me perdono a mí mismo porque aquella conciencia que tenía en aquella época yo pensaba que era la correcta”, dijo a los presentadores del matutino.
Aunque algunos creen que Rafael Amaya habría sido influenciado por su personaje de Aurelio Casillas, en El Señor de los Cielos, él mismo explicó que eso no tuvo nada que ver, y que fueron sus malas decisiones las que lo llevaron a caer en ese espiral de adicciones. “No fue el personaje, fui yo. Yo no era Aurelio. (A los actores) nos entrenan para dejar el personaje en el clóset o donde sea. Pero sí me dejé llevar por muchas cosas: la banalidad, el materialismo, el ego, el vanagloriarse…”.
De 2013 a 2019, el originario de Hermosillo, Sonora, protagonizó la exitosa serie de Telemundo, ganándose el cariño del público, así como un sinfín de reconocimientos, convirtiéndose en uno de los rostros más conocidos de la pantalla chica. Sin embargo, hacia el final de la séptima temporada despareció del ojo público, lo que hizo sonar las alarmas entre sus fans. Poco después se dio a conocer que estaba enfrentado un serio problema de adicciones.
Amaya luchó con todas sus fuerzas y logró salir adelante, al punto que recién se reveló que firmó un contrato de multiproyecto con Telemundo Global Studios, para protagonizar varias producciones originales. Sobre este giro en su vida, Rafael dijo ante las cámaras de Hoy Día: “Ahorita es cuando tengo éxito porque tengo a mi salud, a mi familia y tengo un compromiso de mi trabajo”. Amaya concluyó con una frase que resumió el calvario que vivió: “El ego y la confianza son los peores enemigos del talento”.
The actor Rafael Amaya, remembered for his leading role in “The Lord of the Skies”, reappeared on television and offered an interview to the program “Hoy Día”, where he had no qualms about referring to his arduous fight against addictions.
Notably recovered, the actor confirmed his return to television in the series “Malverde: The patron saint.” In addition, he spoke of his difficult fight against addictions and acknowledged that his faith helped him overcome this stage.
“It is a day-to-day process. Since I wake up I thank God and ask him to give me strength, and when I go to bed I thank him again. Before I was very agnostic and didn’t believe in God, that’s how bad my situation was. I was ashamed to see myself in the mirror “, said the actor.
When referring to the origin of your addictions, Rafael Amaya denied that his character as Aurelio Casillas led him to fall into that world. As he confessed, materialism, ego and vanity were his greatest enemies.
“It wasn’t the character, it was me, the decision was mine, it wasn’t Aurelio. He trains to leave the character in the closet, wherever, take off his shoes, when you shower and that’s it, but yes I got carried away by many things such as vanity, materialism, ego, boasting, letting myself be seen… The truth was I didn’t have much responsibility in many aspects and there is no school, a manual to be famous ”, counted.
I had dragged on many problems without knowing it, from a very young age, there is no manual for being a father, there are no manuals for living a perfect life. I was wrong and the good thing is that I surrounded myself with people who could help me, who could get me out of that hole, out of that abyss and, well, I also surrounded myself with people I shouldn’t have surrounded myself with; I am making many changes in my life and I am very happy “he added.
On his return to television, Rafael Amaya said he was very happy for the opportunity he has to resume his artistic career. “I feel very happy, very grateful for another opportunity and being in good projects, always original. Now I will be in Malverde, in a special participation … I feel nervous and very excited, but always grabbing the bull by the horns “, He said.
Likewise, the actor took advantage of the interview to send a message of encouragement to people who are going through a difficult time, and to all those who are struggling with an addiction.
“I believed myself to be very powerful, I believed that I could alone, and it was not true. Life is very short, look around you, go to the mirror and ask yourself if you are happy with your life. Talk to your inner child and spoil him, because he must be very angry with you. How you have to have your mother, your father, your brothers and the people who love you “, he stated.
“It is not right for you to make your loved ones suffer for a drug or a drink … React. This will destroy you, you will end up in jail, hospital or dead. Your worst enemy is drugs, and you have to kill it, and you cannot do it alone ”, concluded.
