José Luis Gil's life took a radical turn last 2021 after suffering a stroke that forced him to stop his career as an actor. Since then, the protagonist of series such as Here there is no one who lives or La que se cerca has stayed away from the media spotlight.

His daughter Irene has become the spokesperson for the family and has been in charge of transmitting every change or progress in her father's recovery. "Yesterday for the first time to see his friends. Thank you so much," wrote the actor's daughter in a story on her Instagram profile.
