Eugenio Derbez is recovering from a "long and complicated surgery" after an accident, his wife Alessandra Rosaldo shared on Aug. 31.
In a statement posted to Instagram in Spanish on Aug. 29, the actress informed their social media followers that the accident happened within the past week. While Rosaldo said Derbez, 60, is fine and that the operation "does not compromise his health," she noted that "the recovery process will be long and difficult," adding that he "will have to rest for several weeks and then undergo rehabilitation therapies." Rosaldo then thanked their fans for the well-wishes.
"Thank you for always being close to us," she concluded. "I know that with the good energy that they will be sending us and with the favor of god, Eugenio will recover very soon."
While Rosaldo did not share details of the accident or the kind of injuries Derbez suffered, his production company 3Pas Studios said the incident resulted in him breaking some bones in his shoulder.
"While it's painful and will require surgery, the good news is that he's healthy, in good spirits, and is expected to make a full recovery," a statement posted to the organization's Instagram account on Aug. 30 read, later adding, "As Eugenio takes some time to recover, we'll be sure to update you all on his progress. In the meantime, he hopes you all continue to laugh and smile."
Derbez has appeared in a number of movies and TV shows over the years. He played the music teacher Bernardo Villalobos in the 2021 movie CODA, which won the Best Picture Oscar earlier this year. The actor also starred in the 2018 movie Overboard with Anna Faris, as well as the 2018 film How to Be a Latin Lover with Salma Hayek, Kristen Bell and Rob Lowe and the 2013 film Instructions Not Included, which he wrote and directed.
Recently, Derbez has acted in the Hulu movie The Valet with Samara Weaving and the Apple TV+ series Acapulco with Enrique Arrizon.
