Families Manel Fuentes 'depixelates' his eldest son Max, who has turned 18
On his social networks,
Manel Fuentes
(53) always appears with a
smile
. However, during the last few months, the Antena 3 presenter has experienced a series of
unfortunate events
that have harmed his health. "I'm recovering, because I broke a bone.
I had a motorcycle accident:
a scooter crossed me and I broke my fibula... And it led to a
herniated disc
and I had surgery," he tells LOC.

"I had to stand
with my foot raised for 40 days
without being able to support anything, then I started wearing those boots to walk... And then I started to notice discomfort. I had an MRI and they
detected a hernia and they operated on me.
It's been months a lot of setbacks, really," he comments. However, the Catalan tries to take
the situation with humor.

"Today
I'm a little fatter,
but I'm trying to get back into sports, because I've been inactive for a long time. And now I can start again... But it's been
a complicated season.
I've had to adapt, mold and reinvent myself, because I need to be physically well. And, fortunately, I am achieving it. In addition, I am ready to face the new season of
Your face sounds to me,
which begins this Friday," he explains.

According to Fuentes,
his mental health has improved
since filming for the 11th edition of talent began. And, as he points out,
she "has been blessedly crazy
. "
"The truth is that the salsa is very well put together from minute one. The group itself is surprising me.
We have had three galas
and I am very satisfied with the level of the performances. But above all, with the
atmosphere
that has been generated. There are many great characters...", he mentions.
And who participates in this edition? Actors, comedians and singers, among whom are
Raquel Sánchez Silva and David Bustamante.
"We have Busta as a contestant and Chenoa as a jury. A colleague of yours gave the idea that
Busta imitate Bisbal,
with Chenoa there, and I think I will give it as an idea to the production.
Bustamante doesn't want to,
but if the button tells him that "You have to do it, you can't deny it," he says, laughing.

According to Fuentes, since filming began the set has been filled with
laughter
, thanks to Bustamante. However, Manel must also admit that not all of his jokes seem so funny to him. "That Busta says that
I am the one with the most money in this room?
Next to him, I don't know... Maybe the contestants think I'm about to
sign for Spanish Television, like Broncano.
Just kidding, just kidding ...I'm happy here!" he says.
"Look, we have
a successful program
and that is something that makes me happy.
Your face sounds familiar to me
. It involves effort, always being up to date, looking for a good mix of contestants and when doing so,
playing with the unexpected...
And the The result is always good. That's why I always say that I couldn't do this program without the experience of all the other programs that I have done throughout my career," he reveals.

On the other hand, Fuentes also confesses that he loves
Tu cara me sona
, because
the familiar style suits him.
Even his children are fans of the format. "They
have both come
to the set on more than one occasion. My daughter is a big fan of the show and knows artists she wouldn't otherwise know. And I also, suddenly,
act modern
with names that we just imitated and that It's better I didn't have them so controlled," he says.
"My eldest son, before, used to come. But now
I have him studying abroad...
Although we talk often and make video calls and things like that. But no,
I don't feel the empty nest syndrome.
Rather, together with my girl Clara, we are taking advantage to
recover spaces as a couple,"
he reveals. Likewise, Manel is investing his time in developing another work project:
The Boss,
a montage with which
he pays tribute to Bruce Springsteen.

"It's a theatrical format,
where I tell Springsteen's story with a guitar. It's practically a
monologue
. The truth is that I love it. But I also continue with TV. We are there with
Atrapa unmillion
, which has a very good performance, and there is always little things. Now I was at
Amar es para siempre,
in the final part, when we said goodbye to the actors.
It was a nice gala and it reunited me
with that point of interviews that I had in
La noche with Fuentes y cia
.... Yes, I would do it again. I would 'reformat' it," he concludes.
