In an intimate chat with Julio Leiva, the actor talked about everything and even got excited when talking about Diego Armando Maradona.On how he processed his death, Darín replied: “I don’t know if I still passed by. I don’t know if I went through there. I can’t even watch the series. It’s fortunate that I wasn’t in Argentina at the time he died.” I would have had a very bad time with what was his mass wake. And when I say that I would have had a very bad time, I would have had a really bad time. I wouldn’t have agreed with anything that was done. I don’t know if I passed, I still don’t have it yet totally… It is not digested, it is not assimilated, it is not. It is true that it is not. The truth is that he died in an incredibly acceptable way, because everything gives the feeling that he died in great solitude,” he revealed.

“There’s something that started happening after his death with this ‘age without Diego’ thing. I love his daughters and his ex-wife, Claudia, very much. And out of respect for them, I try not to make much progress on any kind of statement. But I see that everyone is intimate, they were close friends and they have anecdotes and things, and they have opinions and they have positions taken that it should be done and that it should not be done as they would have reacted. And the truth is that I am quite disgusted by all that, “said the actor. Darín said that both he and his wife were very close friends of the footballer died: “I was very close friends with him, I went through different stages, we were also fighting, we reconciled after we fought again. We reconciled all the time with Diego, because he was very temperamental and so was I. But Flor was also very close to him, very close to him. He loved Florence very much and we were both in Uruguay alone when what happened to him happened and I think we were four or five days dumbfounded. I mean, did you see when you don’t know where you’re going to put that pain or that discomfort? And the only thing I felt at that moment, when I started to see what was happening around him, was that I’m a lucky guy. Luckily I wasn’t in Buenos Aires,” and explained: “I would have gone a little off the chain, it seems to me with respect to everything they did with him. So then, well, after a prudential time and with the distance that lets you see things from another place.” The actor described Maradona as “a very fast guy, very fast, very witty, bad for the verb. Very acidic acid. He made me a thousand and he made me a thousand, he loved to look for me roña and boludeme a little. ‘Comical,’ he told me.” Once for the return of him to the selection in 94, before the fateful exit holding the hand of the nurse. I accompanied him a lot to train. The doctor suggested that since he had fun with me and we laughed, we played tennis together, we took the boys to school in the morning, then we had the whole morning off and I accompanied him to train. We went to different places, a lot at dinner. I lived with him incredible, incredible things, what happened to people …”, he began recounting. He followed the story: “One day we were at the Cenard and everyone was coming to say hello. Imagine all the kids who enter Cenard: basketball, tennis, all sports disciplines. Diego Armando was Diego Armando, they went crazy with him. So I don’t know how it was. I don’t know if it was the volleyball guys. I do not remember very well who they were, but the truth is that they challenged him to a picado, a football match there in one of the auxiliary courts. And he said, ‘Yes, give it.’ But it was 10, 10 thirty in the morning…” In the middle of the anecdote, he interrupted to tell another moment lived that same day: “A very funny thing happened that same day: I was running on the treadmill next to the one he ran, the famous one who took off T-shirts and threw two liters of perspiration. I was running on the treadmill next to him and suddenly “Locomotive” Castro came in and there were two ribbons. So, when I see “Locomotive” I say: ‘I’m going to get off’, ‘You stay there’, ‘But…’, ‘You stay there, you stay there’. It was a matter of seeing who has it longer.” After that, this football game was put together and obviously I didn’t have booties,” she picked up the opening story: “He doesn’t care because he always had everything in the van… And when it is decided that he is going to play a football game I say: ‘Give me time, that I go home to get the booties, like a sick person, a sick person. ‘Yes, yes,’ he tells me. It was just what I needed. I’m going home, I’m going to look for the boots like an eight-year-old boy who is about to play with Diego. And when I arrive he’s in the middle of the court with a stack of jerseys, all the kids who were going to play. He had already put together teams and he was handing out jerseys. He then hands out the jerseys for everything that was the other team and had a stack of jerseys for the team that was going to play with him. And then, I arrive with my tongue out and it passed me with my eyes and not like I didn’t see myself. Then he starts handing out all the shirts, all the shirts and there is a shirt, a shirt and he never called me. I had gone to my house, 700 kilometers to my house to look for the booties … And when he sees me he says: ‘Eh you shit all comical’ and throws my shirt, “he closed with laughter and looking at the camera.
