The renowned Mexican actor Eduardo de la Peña, known as Lalo 'El Mimo', was hospitalized after suffering a severe accident at his home. The news was shared by his daughter Maricarmen de la Peña, who explained on social media that her father, the star of the Mexican soap opera "Embrace Me Tight", will have to undergo surgery due to a hip fracture he suffered after slipping in the bathroom.
In a previous interview before the accident, Lalo 'El Mimo' had expressed his refusal to accept roles that did not suit his needs, mentioning that at 88 years old, he no longer felt capable of standing to act in theater. For this reason, he decided to retire from the stage, taking Silvia Pinal as an example, who had participated in a play while in a wheelchair.
The surgery scheduled to treat Lalo 'El Mimo's hip fracture was planned for Friday of the same week as the accident. So far, no further information about the actor's condition following the intervention has been disclosed. Maricarmen thanked the expressions of support and well wishes that her family received, but did not provide more details about her father's health progress.
Hip fractures, like the one suffered by the actor, typically require immediate surgery, followed by rehabilitation and treatment with medication to relieve pain and prevent complications such as clots and infections. Lalo 'El Mimo's situation highlights the physical vulnerability that an elderly person may face, which is the main reason he decided to step away from acting in theater, adapting to his age and health condition.
