Miguel Herran revealed that the blaze started at his home during the night and he awoke to 'the sound of my house burning.'

Money Heist fame actor Miguel Herrán has recently revealed that he was caught up in a terrifying house fire that destroyed his apartment and forced him to jump out of his bedroom window to save himself. The Spanish actor, who is best known for starring Rio in the Netflix show La Casa Da Papel, was heard sobbing and exclaiming “I can’t believe it,” as he filmed the damage in an Instagram video.

Miguel revealed the blaze started at his home in Avila, Spain during the night and he awoke to ‘the sound of my house burning.’ While firefighters were quick to tackle the blaze, Miguel revealed that much of his home had been ruined by the fire, with the ceiling in his kitchen and living room having fallen through and his possessions charred.

The actor shared in the video, “Thanks to everyone, especially the Avila firefighters and the security of my urbanization. The losses have been material… and as a good friend of mine says first world problems.” Miguel is quoted in local reports as saying, “It caught me when I was asleep and I woke up with the sound of my house burning. I escaped through the window of my room.”

However, it is still unclear what caused the blaze. Miguel found international fame with his role in the Spanish Netflix series Money Heist, entitled La casa de Papel in Spain. The series followed an unusual group of thieves who pulled off the biggest heist in Spanish history, stealing €2.4 million from the Royal Mint of Spain. The show spanned five seasons on Netflix and was the most-watched non-English language series ever until 2021’s Korean hit Squid Game.
