After the video circulated widely, Landero was contacted by the show De Primera Mano, where he explained that his presence in the park was due to a temporary housing issue.

He said he had been dealing with a personal matter and regretted that the video had been taken out of context.

The actor denied being permanently homeless but admitted to facing personal and mental health challenges.

Through a post on X (formerly Twitter), Landero revealed that he has autism and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) — conditions he decided to discuss publicly to promote awareness and inclusion.

“I want to encourage inclusion — we need it desperately. There’s a lack of understanding and education. We all have the same rights,” the actor stated.

According to the Mayo Clinic, autism is a developmental condition that affects communication, learning, and social interaction.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) note that ADHD can cause constant distraction, impulsivity, and difficulty focusing.

Landero emphasized that his goal is to foster empathy and education about neurodivergent conditions and to challenge lingering stigma and prejudice.

Following intense media attention, Alejandro Landero retreated to a red van where he and his pets took shelter to escape reporters.

When approached by cameras, he politely but firmly declined interviews.

“No cameras, please. They’re recording — not right now. I’m not giving interviews,” he said, visibly uncomfortable yet calm.

He explained that while he had slept outdoors for a few nights, his situation had been resolved, and he was now safe with his animals, who were “warm and protected.”

Actor Clarifies He Has Support and Future Plans

Alejandro Landero shared that he had received help to find housing and would soon move to Puerto Vallarta, thanks to a person who offered him a temporary home.

“Someone lent me a house, and I’m moving to Puerto Vallarta. A private individual helped me,” he said, adding that he has family in Mexico City but plans to start new projects elsewhere.

He also denied claims that he was entirely without money, stating that some reports exaggerated his condition.

Before leaving, he confirmed that his acting career ended more than three decades ago, following a “blacklist” or other industry circumstances.

“Yes, I have money, and I’m being helped. My acting career ended 33 years ago — for whatever reason. Please, stop recording,” he concluded.
