He entered his life in 2017. He followed the doctor’s instructions, fought the battle and today is healthy. He takes his life back, as he says. At 74 years, he’s ready to come back and find his rhythms. He does gymnastics, walks and leaves behind everything that changed his everyday life. Marcos Lesés gave a full interview, after a long time away from publicity, in the magazine “Well” and journalist Panayiotis Vazeios. The well-known actor referred among others to the courageous battle he fought with cancer and the reason he went for a month to Mount Athos. CORVERSE You’ve been through a big health problem, now you’re okay? Oh, thank God. There were miracles, I should have left life. As of 2017 I was struggling with cancer. I’m over it. I’m in therapy for strengthening my organization now. It was like there was an atomic bomb in me. Now I’m back on my feet, doing my walking, my gymnastics, what I couldn’t do before. Is that why you went to Mount Athos? No, I went to Mount Athos long before my health problem arose. For the disappointment I had gotten from the site. I went and sat down for a month with a very bright old man, learned a lot of things there. I mention everything in the book that I have written, “I am atrocity.” “Sometime in every person comes this click. It happened at a time when I was in between. I wanted rehab and peace in my soul, to find peace, the love I didn’t have. When the stage lights went out and I was going home, the loneliness was endless. All comedians are in the end tragic faces and have a sadness in them,” Mark Leszes said in an earlier interview about his decision to go to Mount Athos.
