Some truths remain hidden for years, and that's precisely what has happened with Joel Joan's recent revelation.

Some stories take years to come to light, and that's exactly what has happened with Joel Joan's latest confession in his interview with Albert Om. The actor has opened the chest of memories to reveal why, more than 15 years ago, he refused to participate in El convidat.

His reply hinted at details of a difficult stage in his life, marked by his separation from Mònica Glaenzel. This way, according to his words, it was a personal moment that was not the most suitable for public exposure.

Joel Joan's words that could point to Mònica Glaenzel

Albert Om, who was the creator of El convidat, starred in many programs with 63 characters who agreed to open their doors to the audience. However, there were also those who said no, and among them was Joel Joan himself.

In the interview, Om recalled that failed attempt to convince him to participate in the program, to which Joel Joan replied sincerely. "It was a darker stage, that one. I wasn't ready for you to come to my house," the Catalan stated.

His words not only explain his refusal at that time but also point to a complex phase in his life. Just in those years, the actor had separated from Mònica Glaenzel, with whom he had a young daughter, Etna.

Showing his home and family environment in a moment of instability was not an option. There is no doubt that these words now gain significance by confessing that he was going through a difficult stage after his breakup.
