  • Thiago Medina, who spent 28 days in intensive care after a motorcycle crash, has taken a delivery job one year after the accident.
  • The former Gran Hermano contestant said influencer work had declined and showed himself preparing to deliver orders for a delivery app.
  • Medina has also pursued advertising, a fruit-and-vegetable shop, construction projects and the sale of World Cup sticker albums to generate income.

A year after a motorcycle crash left him near death, Thiago Medina has shown followers how he is rebuilding his working life, far from the television exposure that followed his time on Gran Hermano.

Medina suffered the accident in Moreno, Buenos Aires province, and spent 28 days in intensive care. He underwent three operations, including one to remove his spleen, before leaving hospital on October 9. He later returned to daily life with his twin daughters, Laia and Aime, whose mother is Daniela Celis.

Being an influencer is going badly.

· Thiago MedinaHe described the decline in his influencer income while announcing that he had started doing delivery work.

His professional situation took a different path. With fewer advertising bookings and event appearances, Medina joined the delivery workforce to support his income. In a short Instagram story, he appeared wearing the backpack of a well-known delivery app and preparing to go out with orders.

We’re going to do deliveries, people. So now you know, if you need an order, send me a message here.

· Thiago MedinaHe addressed followers in an Instagram video while wearing a delivery-app backpack.

“Being an influencer is going badly,” he said. “We’re going to do deliveries, people. So now you know, if you need an order, send me a message here.” He ended the video with a simple message to his followers: “You have to work! Love you all.”

Medina said he still offers advertising through Instagram, where 1.6 million people follow him. Since leaving Gran Hermano, he has also worked in promotions and brand exchanges, opened a fruit-and-vegetable shop in Gregorio de Laferrere in April 2023, and later moved into construction and remodeling projects. He also sold and distributed sticker albums and packets in western Buenos Aires during the renewed World Cup album craze.

You have to work! Love you all.

· Thiago MedinaHe closed the video with a message to his followers.
