Gerardo Romano clarifies health status after hospital video sparks fan concern

Argentine actor Gerardo Romano, 79, sparked concern among fans after sharing a video from a hospital bed on Tuesday. Appearing in a light blue gown with an IV line, the actor used his characteristic humor to accompany the post, joking about the birth of a "7.4kg baby."

His fans reacted with worry, given Romano's age and his previous public diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. Many questioned if he was admitted to the hospital or experiencing complications from his illness. However, Romano soon reappeared on social media, showing himself in good spirits and using his phone, seemingly to quell the rising anxiety.

I had a most beautiful baby boy. He weighed 7.4 kilos.

Supporters sent messages of encouragement, referencing his popular role as Antín in "El marginal." Many wished him strength and sent positive energy. Several celebrities, including Jean Pierre Noher, Carolina Papaleo, Karina Mazzocco, and Leo García, also shared well wishes.

Romano himself recorded a video to definitively end the speculation. "Hello, how are you? I am Gerardo Romano, Argentine actor. I am not hospitalized, I am in good health and I have a performance on Wednesday, May 27. I'm performing 'El secreto' at El Tabarís. I'm saying this because there were rumors that I was a bit unwell, that is not the case. Bye, see you," he clarified. Later, his theater's account confirmed that he had undergone scheduled medical tests and was recovering well at home, assuring that his theater performances would continue normally.
