Albano Bogdo, in a confession in "VIP Farm", revealed some untold things from his life. He said that his parents are the first divorced couple in Saranda and that there had never been any divorce in the city during the time of democracy.
"My father and mother are the first couple who got divorced in Saranda during the time of democracy. Lovers say you are the man of the house now, and to be the man of the house means to work, to remove you from childhood. He puts down the books, takes a thermos of ice cream, a bag of kausha and a crate of bananas from the other arm.
He said that he had not seen his father for 1 decade and that he has not expressed the lack and love he feels:
"10 years without meeting and in these 10 times, I may have spoken 7 times on the phone. I have felt his absence, but I have never expressed it. We don't easily express our love to each other. The biggest enemy he had in life was me. The biggest enemy I had in my life was him. One day we realized that we had no enmity with each other. He started crying and hugged me, I hadn't hugged him in 22 years. I didn't know that my father loved me."
He also expressed the extraordinary love he has for his mother:
"I have the light of my eyes. 10 men could not do what my mother has done for me, having two more children. I don't have 1,000 lives to repay him for what he has done for me. Humanity has not invented words to explain how much I love him".
Further, Albano talked about his life and his addiction to alcohol: "I came from a very modest life. My dream has always been to become an actor", he began the story and then told how he became addicted to alcohol.
"I became more and more famous and received a lot of money. I didn't know how to react. I had been out of school for a year and was rich and famous throughout the republic. I was totally intoxicated. My situation was out of control. I went on stage and nobody knew anything about it. It was one of the darkest periods of my life."
He revealed that he had given up alcohol in the summer of 2016 and then, when his mother contracted Covid-19, he bought a 1-litre bottle of whisky, which he did not drink. "I didn't drink anymore. Men who do not accept the mistakes they have made, take them, chew them and say them", he said.
Albano says that he has problems with himself and is afraid of falling prey to temptation again.
The comedian has always been open to express himself about the problems of his life. In an interview for "Opinion", in March 2023, he said: "I have suffered from anxiety since early adolescence. I don't know, I had anxiety for no reason, sitting in class or at home. My heart rate increased, I was filled with cold sweat. I felt like I was going to die. Out of ignorance like me, like the doctors who were in Saranda, we went to hospitals and they did heart and thyroid tests. They led me to a dead end because they didn't know what to say. They measured my heartbeat and it was 140-150, they told me it's not normal."
Further, he said:
"I've been taking medication for depression all these years. Two years ago, for no reason at all, no change in diet, no medication, nothing - I gained 69 kilograms, for no reason, in 3 months. Then, all of a sudden, I started I was picking myself up again, for no reason at all."
Even in the "Garage Lock" podcast, he revealed that in addition to depression, he suffered from panic attacks and borderline personality disorder (BPD).
