Diego Navarrete, reconocido por su papel de ‘Petita’ en Los 80, ha mantenido un perfil bajo en la televisión tras el fin de la serie, dedicándose a las artes escénicas y la gestión cultural. Hizo una aparición en 2023 para homenajear a ‘Don Genaro’ y en 2024 fue noticia por un grave accidente doméstico que lo llevó al hospital. Agradeció el apoyo recibido y no descartó un posible regreso a las pantallas en el futuro cercano.

Poco se ha sabido del presente del actor Diego Navarrete, joven oriundo de Curicó que dio vida al querido personaje de ‘Petita’ en la serie Los 80.

Y es que después de interpretar al eterno enamorado de ‘Claudita’ y ser por varios años el ayudante de ‘Don Genaro’ en la emblemática ficción de Canal 13, el actor optó por alejarse de la televisión.

Tras el fin de la serie después de siete temporadas, Diego Navarrete prefirió seguir su camino profesional dedicándose a las artes escénicas y la gestión cultural.

Y es que hay que mencionar que antes de interpretar a ‘Petita’, también tuvo un destacado paso por el teatro, como actor, director y dramaturgo.

Años después, Navarrete volvió a hacer una aparición frente a las cámaras en 2023, cuando participó en el programa De tú a tú, para hacerle un emotivo homenaje a Fernando Farías, el recordado ‘Don Genaro’.

“Para mí ha sido un gran placer trabajar con él en Los 80, guardo los mejores recuerdos“, expresó el actor.

En esa oportunidad también quedó en evidencia la gran diferencia física entre el actor y su recordado personaje.

Algo que también se puede ver a través de sus redes sociales, donde comparte esporádicamente fotografías de él en sus viajes o disfrutando de conciertos.

La vida de ‘Petita’ alejado de las cámaras

Hasta 2024, Diego Navarrete se había mantenido fuera del radar de los medios, hasta que en mayo de ese año hizo noticia producto de su delicado estado de salud.

Y es el actor sufrió un grave accidente doméstico que lo hizo necesitar transfusiones de sangre y pasar varios días en el hospital.

En esa ocasión, sin entregar mayores detalles de lo ocurrido, el actor agradeció los mensajes de buenas vibras y la ayuda que le brindaron en el difícil momento que pasó.

“Agradezco de corazón a quienes se acercaron a donar sangre y a quienes tuvieron la intención de hacerlo. Gracias a ustedes ya se consiguió lo requerido. Un gran abrazo!”, escribió en su Instagram.

Cabe mencionar que en una de sus últimas entrevistas, Diego Navarrete, no descartó un regreso a las pantallas.

“Me encantaría volver a actuar en el amplio sentido de la palabra, una serie o una película o en algún otro formato audiovisual”, confesó a Página 7.
