Juan Soler Confirms Advance Directive, Declines Life Support in Future Medical Crises

He calls the step a dignity-focused choice prompted by last year’s hospitalization during Top Chef VIP.

Overview

  • In interviews this week, the 60-year-old actor said he signed a voluntad anticipada and finalized his will.
  • He stated he does not want resuscitation or artificial life support, saying “no me enchufen, no me revivan” and “déjenme partir en paz.”
  • Soler linked the move to a health scare during filming in Colombia last year, citing burnout and severe dehydration that led to hospitalization and his withdrawal before the show’s final.
  • He emphasized the decision was considered rather than impulsive, prioritizing quality of life over invasive procedures in irreversible situations.
  • Partner and Sale el Sol host Paulina Mercado described the competition’s isolating pace and stress, as coverage highlighted how Mexico’s advance directives let people refuse life-prolonging measures.
