Producer Pedro Torres lives in a spectacular apartment in Mexico City, designed in an eclectic style that reflects his passion for art. Recently, rumors about his health caused alarm, but his ex-partner Lucía Méndez clarified that he suffers from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and is stable.
Pedro Torres' apartment in Mexico City is a creative project led by designer Jennifer Andreu and publicist Daniela Costa. Upon entering, a double-height entrance welcomes visitors with a weeping wall framing a sculpture, next to a wooden and marble table holding books and artworks by artists like Adolfo Riestra, Candida Höfer, Stephan Ach, Enrique Badulescu, and Torres himself.
The reception leads to a bar mimicking a cosmopolitan lounge, perfect for gatherings, and a helical staircase connects to the upper floor. There, the main living room stands out with huge chandeliers, a large-format screen, gray silk and velvet curtains, and niches with crystal chandeliers, creating a theatrical atmosphere like a luxury hotel lobby.
On the upper floor, a private room holds career mementos, such as photos of friends, significant artworks, and a portrait of Leonora Carrington made by Torres. The bedrooms feature accents inspired by different countries and styles.
Recently, false rumors of Torres' death circulated, debunked by Lucía Méndez, his ex-partner and mother of their son. 'Pedro is stable as much as possible, we're happy. He's a very positive man, he's given us great lessons,' Méndez stated. Their son Pedro Antonio confirmed: 'He's very well; he's delicate, but well, stable'.
Torres has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), an incurable degenerative neuromuscular disease that affects the nervous and motor systems, causing muscle weakness, difficulties walking, swallowing, and maintaining posture. Life expectancy is two to five years, though it can extend up to 20. Despite the illness, Torres uses artificial intelligence for communication and maintains an optimism that inspires his family.
