Adrian Anchondo plays Marco Rio on General Hospital and the actor recently brought his grandmother, a huge fan of the show, to the set.
Anchondo posted pics on Instagram as his Grandma met some of the stars of General Hospital including Steve Burton (Jason) and Josh Swickard (Chase). Anchondo wrote in his Insta post:
"I brought gramma to work today. Took her behind the scenes of what I love, what I’ve worked for since I was a teenager. Over the years I’ve struggled with being taken seriously for my passion, begged friends and family to come see me in plays, to turn on their tv for a few minutes, to share something I created. And today, seeing her smile and experience the magic that I get to see and live in made up for all the times I didn’t feel validated or didn’t believe that this could be real for me.
I’ve been battling anxiety, often fighting with myself at 3am, allowing intrusive thoughts to hinder my performance on and off the stage. This career is not for the faint of heart, you’re always questioning yourself, working and letting go of multiple jobs, falling in love with characters and dialogue that you don’t get to keep, pages and pages of words that are permanently filed somewhere in the back of your mind.
Fan theories and mean comments, internal and external comparisons, becoming friends with rejection and censorship, the reality of aging, the need for acceptance of my sexuality and ethnicity, and the constant fear of temporary. But all of that vanished today when I saw her smiling behind the camera, feeling the light of her pride shining on me.
She took pictures with actors she’s admired and watched for decades, people that I get to call my coworkers, and through her eyes I was once again reminded that this is real, that I’m one of them, that I’m doing what I was meant to do. She helped me pinch myself and breathe again, to let go of what I can’t control. I don’t know what the future holds, but I know that this present moment is so good❤️ I am grateful."
