Jul and Zef Deda

He is one of the most successful comedians of recent years. We are talking about Julian Deda, who inherited his love for art from the well-known artist, Zef Deda, who took him with him to the "Migjeni" theater when he was a child. Jul Deda was recently invited to "S'e luan topi" where he recounted a very difficult moment when his father had a health problem with his leg, but he was treated with medication for the mentally ill for fear of escaping abroad.

Asked by journalist Erjona Rusi about this issue, Juli said:

"I was 5 or 6 years old, I don't remember well. My father got sick and stayed at home a lot. He didn't appear on TV again for a year, then he went abroad for treatment once to Vienna and then to Hungary. We were only with mom. Our mind was always there. This was the most difficult period of our lives because the injury to his leg, at that time, could not be done in Albania and could even take his life.

The conjunctures of the time took him to the hospital, they even treated him for mental illness because they said that he does this because he is going abroad. He will run away and pretend his leg hurts. They thought he wanted to run away, since the problem he had with his leg was still unknown and incurable to medicine here.

In fact he just had his leg and they kicked him out of the country when they saw him not appearing on TV on New Year's Eve. And if you didn't appear on TV on New Year's Eve, for an actor, you were in trouble. When it did not come out, the Political Bureau became concerned. Then it wasn't like now that you can't go out on stage after 4 years and no one remembers you. Then they remembered.

They asked where is this? And they told him that it is bad from the foot home. Then they sent him to Hungary and even there with the diagnosis of mental illness, until the doctors themselves noticed what he had and cured him."
