The name Frank Cuesta (52) is always associated with love and respect for the planet. Therefore, it is not strange that a few years ago he created The Freedom Sanctuary in Thailand where he welcomes countless animals to facilitate their well-being in their natural habitat. The land has an area of 37 hectares and cost him 860,000 euros. Tonight Frank de la Jungla visits El Hormiguero to talk about his success on social media.

Once again fate made its own. Frank wanted to be a tennis player, but a motorcycle accident cut short his career, as happened at the time to Miguel Ángel Silvestre as a result of an injury. In order not to disengage from that sport, he studied to be a coach at the Nick Bollettieri academy in Florida, one of the most important in the world where he rubs shoulders with Monica Seles. But a trip to Bangkok changed his life forever when he fell in love with a landscape as close as possible to Eden.

There he fell in love and married the model Yuyee (49), who for six and a half years was in prison because according to the television they set a trap for him by putting 0.005 grams of cocaine. Frank has always maintained the theory that they made him go through that hell because in 2012 they were dedicated to rescuing animals that were going to be used as contraband. He dared to denounce it and fight against it... Yuyee was finally released from prison in 2020, although the sentence had been 15 years.

Frank has not only dedicated himself to networking. During his stay in the Asian country he studied veterinary medicine and herpetology. In that eagerness to show his followers the misadventures of the jungle he made him about to lose his life after the bites of several pythons and the fearsome King Cobra. Loud was the release of venom into his eyes of the viper Russell in the presence of chef José Andrés while they were looking for the Bengal tiger in India in one of the broadcasts of his program, Wild Frank.

The director of the production company Molinos de Papel in charge of the reports is Nacho Medina, son of Tico Medina, one of the best journalists of the second half of the twentieth century. One of the hardest moments lived while filming Frank de la Jungla was the fatal motorcycle accident of Santi Trancho at age 31 in Galapagar (Madrid) official cameraman of the space and who at that time was dating the actress Ana Fernández (33).

Frank is tremendously proud of the family he has formed with Yuyee, with whom he has had four children. The firstborn is Zape – his twin died a few days after birth – who tries to make his way as a footballer and is followed by Zorro, Zen and Pepsi.
