Latin superstar Eugenio Derbez is set to undergo surgery, following an accident that landed him in the hospital. 

The 60-year-old CODA actor’s wife Alessandra Rosaldo, 50, released the news in an Instagram post on Monday saying that he will need to undergo a ‘very complicated’ surgery followed by a ‘long rehabilitation’ period. 

Rosaldo did not clarify what exact accident caused Derbez to end up in the hospital in the first place.

‘To our family, friends, and media: Through this medium, I want to inform you that a couple of days ago Eugenio had an accident,’ she started out the post, which was written in Spanish.  

‘He is fine, however the injuries he suffered are delicate and in the next few hours, he will have to undergo surgery. The operation is very complicated, but it does not compromise his health.’

‘The recovery process will be long and difficult since he will have to rest for several weeks and then undergo rehabilitation therapies,’ she continued.
