Carlos Thornton Reveals October Heart Operation After Heart Was at 30% Function

He told Trome that the October 5 surgery capped a second major cardiac crisis and that he is recovering while working in theatre.

Overview

  • In an interview published November 8, Thornton said doctors operated on him on October 5 after tests showed his heart was functioning at roughly 30 percent.
  • He also recounted an earlier life-threatening episode, saying he suffered a heart attack the day before his 41st birthday and required surgery then.
  • Thornton revisited 1990s memories in the interview, describing intense fan scenes with Christian Meier that once forced them to hide in a car trunk after filming at Centro Comercial Caminos del Inca.
  • He acknowledged a past tabloid 'ampay' with actress Bárbara Cayo, called the kiss a mistake that sped the end of his marriage, and said they now remain friends.
  • Despite recent surgeries, Thornton is performing as Capitán Tony in Los chismes de las mujeres with shows scheduled on Sundays in November and December at Teatro Barranco.
