Caio Castro, 33, will sue companies that are using his image without authorization to promote promotions after the actor’s speech, which went viral on social media, about not liking the idea of going out with a woman and she not offering to split the bill for a restaurant. .
“All brands and companies that improperly used the image of the actor and pilot Caio Castro will be notified by the artist’s legal department, and the compensation will be intended for the donation of basic food baskets to needy families”, says a statement sent by the actor’s advice.
Several restaurants caught the wave of the actor’s speech to increase sales. ChurrasBoua is one of the restaurants that used photos of the actor and made fun of his speech. “Hi, babe, are we going to have a barbecue? But bring the meat, because I’m not obliged to take it alone, no”, he added in the advertisement. In the caption of the publication, he wrote: “Bixo (sic) tightwad”.
The seafood restaurant Toca Pintado, in Volta Redonda, Rio de Janeiro, announced a promotion with two shrimp dishes using the image of the actor. “It’s so cheap that even Caio Castro will pay.”
Netizens defended Toca do Pintado and criticized the actor. “You talked a lot and now you’re going to sue Toca do Pintado for making money, right? Save me,” commented a woman on Twitter. “Poor thing from Toca do Pintado”, wrote another user of the social network.
An internet user suggested companies to send an all-expenses paid invitation to the actor and a companion. “Since Caio Castro is going to sue companies that used the controversy to do marketing, if I were the owner of the company, I would send him an invitation plus a companion to visit the establishment with everything paid for so as not to fight when paying the bill. “
“Caio Castro is going to sue all the companies that used his reputation for hard bread for propaganda purposes. Was it all just a scam?” asked a Twitter user.
The actor himself is also cashing in on his cheapskate fame with an ad for the Duo Gourmet app shared on Instagram. “Hey guys… enough with the controversy with Duo Gourmet, I paid for my dish and the other one was free”, wrote Castro on his profile on the social network.
“He pays his and gets another one. Able for him to want to share the amount he paid on his plate with the person. Since what comes out for free is at the expense of his plate”, commented on the actor’s post a netizen adding an emoji laughing. “Do you doubt it?”, replied another Instagram user.
