Cuban actor Roberto Perdomo has opened up about the financial struggles that keep him from leaving Cuba to visit his grandson, Leo, who was born on April 17, 2025, abroad.
Perdomo disclosed that his monthly retirement pension is a mere 6,000 pesos, insufficient for an international flight ticket.
After decades in the entertainment industry, including a 13-year stint as Lieutenant Colonel Fernando in the police series "Tras la Huella" and recent roles in the soap opera "Regreso al Corazón," Perdomo retired just a few months ago.
Past Struggles and LossesIn 1995, Perdomo moved to Spain, where he lived for seven years with his partner Mercedes, who passed away there.
His sister died of cancer in Spain on Mother's Day in 2025, and Perdomo couldn't say goodbye due to financial constraints.
