Sinisalo, who loves acting, had to end his career at the age of 52 after suffering from epilepsy. It was a tough place for him, and it took a long time to adapt to living with the illness.
In addition to his ability to work, Sinisalo says he has lost his finances and basic security. After losing basic security, his dream also crashed.
– I’m not going to be as I was. This is not healed, and I will not become an actor anymore, he tells IS in an interview.
Sinisalo is currently on a fixed -term sickness pension and says he lives very sparingly. He has completely abandoned traveling and eating out, and is also considering his clothing purchase.
Nowadays, even yoga feels like a luxury. Once, participation only succeeded when he borrowed five euros. However, he did not have to resort to the bread queue thanks to his good support network.
