[SougarLord]

 

This Wednesday afternoon, the po[CENSORED]r television character Juan Joya Borja, better known for 'El Risitas', died at the Virgen del Rocío Hospital in Seville.

 

'El Risitas' had to be transferred this noon from the Hospital de la Caridad de Sevilla (where he resided) to the Virgen del Rocío University Hospital in Seville, after a sudden relapse of his illness, where he died in mid-afternoon, according to the sources consulted by ABC de Sevilla.

 

In September 2020, "El Risitas" was admitted to the Hospital de la Caridad in Seville, where he has resided ever since. At 65 years of age and after suffering a leg amputation as a result of an illness, 'El Risitas' requested admission to the institution that was promoted by the Venerable Miguel Mañara and manages the brotherhood of Santa Caridad de Sevilla.

 

The po[CENSORED]r Sevillian actor and comedian rose to fame around the year 2000 from the hand of Jesús Quintero with his appearances in the programs 'El vagamundo' or 'Ratones coloraos', where he recounted his experiences together with the now disappeared 'El Peíto'. His laughter, jokes, his personality and his famous tagline of 'cuñaooo' made him po[CENSORED]r with the nickname 'El Risitas'.
