"I felt like I was drowning": Belén Rueda reveals the moment in which she was about to die

After a well-deserved vacation at Easter, in which repeated programs were broadcast recalling the best moments of previous seasons. Pablo Motos and his team from El Hormiguero returned to work with the visit of two great actors such as Emilio Gutiérrez Caba and Belén Rueda.

"In the end, my father convinced her and they left. She was left without knowing the end and I was not born in a movie theater," she confessed to everyone's laughter. But it was not her only anecdote about her life, since Trancas and Barrancas managed to get one of the most distressing moments of her life out of her when she was close to dying.

The guest of El Hormiguero began receiving diving classes at a school and everything seemed to be going according to plan. On his first open-sea dive, known to amateurs as Baptism, a huge problem arose with his oxygen tank when it stopped working.

"I felt like I was drowning," he said, describing that moment when he thought he was going to die, coming to think that at least "I was going to die doing something I like." In a panic she came to take the bottle from his instructor, who with all the calm in the world redirected the situation.
