Quique San Francisco: "Now it is censored more than with Franco"

The most striking feature of his life, beyond his long career as an actor in film and theater since the 1960s, is his confession of polytoxicomania.

There are people who live a lot, people who live well (or who knows how to take advantage of each misfortune to transform the misfortunes of existence into a small victory), and there are even people who live excessively. But Quique San Francisco does not fit into any of those categories, he has gone far beyond that; as you would say now, the game has passed. The Madrid actor, close to turning 65 , has had a hyperbolic and inconceivable life , always frequenting the limits of the human and reasonable, or even exceeding them widely.

So much so that the common mortal could not match his history of feats, mischief, miseries and anecdotes or signing a pact with the devil to enjoy eternal life. Lou Reed, the poet, said that "my week is better than your year" - in reference to his time of addiction to speed , when he did not sleep and remained in an overflowing hyperactivity -, and Quique San Francisco could also tell us, that a year of his has spread more than a century to half of Spain.

In recent months, San Francisco has undergone extensive personal interviews - in Bertín Osborne's program , in Save Me Deluxe and in El Hormiguero , where he already has VIP treatment - and all of them have been an amazing nest of information between admirable, depressing, sordid and hilarious. It is not that his past and present life are enviable - in March of this year he confessed that he was practically ruined , after being scammed by several promoters and agents of his guild, and that he lived in a cheap hotel on the outskirts of Madrid, just as that when he came to the capital as a young man to look for life as an actor and he lived in pensions - but at least it must be admitted that he is exceptional in the most rigid sense of the word.

For example. He did not know who his father was until adolescence - his mother, Queta Ariel , kept the information that his genes were those of also actor Vicente Haro - and since that time, even before entering the Actor's Studio and starting his career in the dramatic art, he began to accumulate episodes at least picturesque, such as having served the military service in the Canary Islands in the body of riflemen - as a precision shooter - and having starred in his first picaresque barracks at that time, cheating and leaving debts with his classmates (and sucking several imaginary and days in the dungeon).

Polytoxicomaniac

The most striking feature of the life of Quique San Francisco , beyond his long career as an actor in cinema and theater since the 60s - although it was in the 80s and under the protection of the Movida and the current of the quinqui cinema when his profile began to stand out in the world - is its confessed polytoxicomania prolonged extensively in time. Addicted to heroin in the 80s and also to cocaine, drugs undermined his health, his appearance - between his photos of youth and maturity there are tremendous similarities with those accredited at the same age by the musician Chet Baker, snatched because of the horse - and they also sank the basis of their relationship with Rosario Flores, with whom she was a couple in that decade, and who ended up consummating the break. He has had three more or less stable relationships , all of them broken and without children.

If during the 80s and 90s his life developed between work, polytoxicomania and unusual events such as having spent some time in prison in Nepal for bothering sacred animals - apparently, there one cannot touch the monkeys, something that yes It can be done in Thailand, and he fought with one who tried to steal food from him, something that makes the apes become especially aggressive - the last few years have not been easy for Quique San Francisco , and they have even deepened the gravity of their circumstances.

In fact, he claims that he has not been able to overcome the economic and neither the health bump produced after suffering a serious back injury in 2002 due to a motorcycle accident in the center of Madrid and that kept him more than a year immobilized and more late in a wheelchair until he could regain mobility. During that time, already to curl the curl of the unusual bordering with the absurd, he was arrested by the Police when he tried to renew his DNI: he was in search and capture for not having submitted to the court summons he forgot. They tried to get him into the police car in the same wheelchair, but it didn't fit. In another era, Quevedo would have made a masterpiece of literature with him.
