Omar Ayuso is no longer ashamed of his most famous role:"I am an 'Elite' boy and now I can proudly say it" - Queerty

"There was a huge Calvin Klein billboard on Gran Vía [in Madrid] and I was in bed with depression. I never saw it."

"The source of my problems was being an actor, so I didn't want to be an actor, because up until that moment for me being an actor had meant chaos in my personal life. But I discovered that it wasn't the profession, it was that I wasn't well."

"There is a story, of course, that comes from childhood, from family, from being a gay boy in a society that is still heteronormative, so there is a constant struggle there. Fame triggers everything, but the origin is not fame."

Ayuso emphasizes that his struggles with mental health are more about the emotional baggage from growing up rather than the acting profession itself.
