This was ratified this Saturday at the XXXIX Gala Goya 2025 Awards in Granada, where the Catalan interpreter picked up the ‘Cabezón’ Best actor protagonist by ‘Marco’the fourth award of Spanish cinema under his credit.
However, in his prolific career not everything has been simple, especially in the most personal level: he had to fight for years against a complicated Alcohol addiction and drugssomething that has revealed in ‘The Évole’Jordi Évole’s program. This hard stage had not spoken until now publicly and, in fact, he fought for years in silence against this problem for which he needed medical attention.
Eduard Fernández speaks for the first time about his addiction to alcohol and cocaine
On addictions, Fernández has said that they are so “Stigmatized” as depression years ago and that there are few affected who speak frankly on the subject: «The most important thing in addiction is that you come a day that you realize that you cannot only with that and that you need help. That step is a lot. Then little by little, that is what costs the most, you have a disease awareness. This is a disease. It is not that you are tarado or have no willIt is a disease, ”said the interpreter in this talk with the Catalan journalist.
«When I was wrong and things were going wrong, I thought it was not up to people. I felt very self -conscious, physically badly, there was something broken. I had something that was not right», Has told about the moment in which he began to Use alcohol to “start working”. “An addict consumes not to suffer, not to have fun,” said the actor, who spent a time when he began to drink at 12 in the morning.
Eduard Fernández has insisted that “addiction” It is something that “shames”especially when you notice that there is “something that does not throw”: “You realize that you are happening, that you do not remember what you did yesterday … It takes time to see that you have a problem And you suffer from Mogollón. I don’t know how all addicts are, but I suffered a mogollón»He recalled.
For Fernández, “His star drug” was alcoholalthough it used to combine it “for times” with other substances such as cocaine. «It was a time when it was wrong, I was crying down the street. The people you have close and love you is the one who can tell you ‘Edu, you are not doing well’, he commented against Jordi Évole, ensuring that he was his girlfriend, Ainhoa Aldanondo actresswho supported him to seek professional help.
Had to enter a detoxification center
«There I realized that I had to take responsibility for mine, I asked for help and I entered a detoxification center. When one has a lump, he goes to the doctor; If one is addicted, you have to go to the doctor And the treatment is what is: therapy“The actor has recognized, explaining that” stop drinking is the easiest “and that the truly complicated thing is to deal with the problems that have taken you to this situation. «You have to rely on that drug to cover. That is what you have to do when you stop drinking, the tare that has taken you there ».
Eduard Fernández feels guilty for having felt his closest environment: «I have made it wrong to my peopleto my partner of the moment, my daughter Greta … I was very damaged to me and radiated. Greta then told me that he had fallen at his feetIt is something that briefs. You have to go through many places that are very hard. You have to deconstruct yourself to build again. The most difficult thing is to remove the character you carry, ”said the actor.
Like an exadict, the Barcelona actor also has to live daily with the possible relapses. Despite having definitively banished alcohol and other substances, he acknowledges that It is not easy to deal with comments that invite you to take, for example, “just a drink” at an important dinner: “Therapy has to be very strong Because it costs much later to take a glass. One of the worst ways of falling is to fall without desire. That today is stigmatized. The more it naturalizes and speaks naturally, it is better, ”said the actor in ‘Lo de Évole’ sincerely.
