Voice Actor Wakes from Knee Surgery Singing Argentina World Cup Anthem

Following a successful operation, Reggio is entering a course of rehabilitation.

Overview

  • Sebastián Reggio, a 22-year-old dubbing actor, suffered a complete ACL tear on May 11 while playing football and spent nearly two months in pre‑rehabilitation before surgery.
  • Surgeons operated on Reggio on July 7, the same day Argentina beat Egypt in the World Cup round of 16, and he posted a short TikTok clip after the procedure that quickly went viral.
  • The footage shows Reggio waking from anesthesia and singing the fan anthem 'La Cuarta Estrella' in full, at times directing lines toward the Argentina national team.
  • In his TikTok caption Reggio wrote that the surgery 'went perfectly' and said he now faces the demanding phase of physical recovery and rehabilitation.
  • Coverage notes he is known in anime dubbing as the Latin voice of Izuku 'Deku' Midoriya and that outlets differ in how they describe his national identity.
