Adriana Torrebejano has spoken about being bullied as a teenager and how public recognition has changed her standing in Castellbisbal, her hometown. On La Revuelta, she described the contrast between being targeted over her appearance and athletic build at school and now being recognised around town.
Torrebejano recalled that classmates mocked the mole on her nose and the broad shoulders she developed through years of competitive swimming. Those features became the focus of nicknames and teasing, she said. She also said she has no intention of removing the mole unless it becomes medically necessary, describing her settled acceptance of her appearance.
She recounted an official reception at Castellbisbal town hall as one of the unexpected moments that came with her growing public profile. Recognition can also mean being approached during local festivities, she said, adding that she wants to enjoy her time in the community without interruption.
In the interview, Torrebejano also responded to questions from host David Broncano, arguing for more meaningful topics than questions about her personal life that often draw attention. Speaking about her relationship with musician Víctor Gil, she said respect and admiration matter to her, unlike the ideals she held earlier in life.
While promoting the fourth season of Muertos S.L., Torrebejano recounted discovering she had celiac disease after reacting badly to a cake, telling the anecdote with humor. She also said she intends to donate her organs after death, linking her view of mortality to her work on the series.
In a lighter moment, Torrebejano said she was surprised by the height of Peio Reparaz, leader of Zetak, after watching his interview with Broncano. She also recalled early acting work, including playing Ana Obregón’s daughter in a series where Obregón portrayed the president of the government, and appearing in Melendi’s music video “La casa no es igual.”
Her account of school bullying and growing more comfortable with her appearance sits alongside reflections on the demands of being recognised in public. Similar themes of public scrutiny and personal challenges have featured in other recent stories, including Paz Vega’s response to her tax situation, covered in this report on high-profile financial issues in Spain.
Torrebejano’s remarks link memories of school life in Castellbisbal with the changes brought by public recognition. Alongside comments on her appearance and work, she spoke about her relationship and views on organ donation, putting those subjects in the context of her life today.
