Lussich then elaborated on his family history. “I have a family history of asthma – all my aunts and great-aunts were asthmatic,” he explained, adding with a laugh, “I always avoided it because I never had a diagnosis because the hippies never took me to the doctor.”
He continued, detailing his current condition: “It turns out that with all the exertion, it was terrible at the start of the show yesterday.” He added with a note of relief, “I’m feeling a little better today, because nerves also play a role after some time away from the screen, because one has their insecurities.”

Lussich explained that his recent trip to Europe, where he performed in theatrical productions, was instrumental in processing his grief: “I’m mourning her, but if I had stayed here in Buenos Aires, I would have had a more challenging summer, surely.” He added, “From a distance, I mourned her in ways I couldn’t have here during the most unexpected moments. I thought about her a lot, and I started to dream about her.”
