It seems that the failure of ‘O Sétimo Guardião’, in 2018, on Globo anticipated a desire that Bruno Gagliasso, 40, had already been maturing for a few years. During the award night of the 21st Brazilian Cinema Grand Prix, this Wednesday (10), in Rio, the actor confessed that he no longer intends to make soap operas. “I have a lot of affection and respect for the segment because it was part of my construction as an actor and human being. But the cycle has closed. I don’t see myself acting in soap operas anymore”, explains the actor.
Bruno Gagliasso competed in the Best Actor category for the film “Marighella” and, judging by what’s to come in his professional life, work is not going to be lacking. “I have ‘Santo’ (Netflix) coming out next month. I’ve had two series released recently, which were ‘Bionics’ (Netflix) and ‘Operation Black Tide’ (Amazon Prime), and there are other things I can’t talk about. Anyway, now I’m focused on movies and series. That’s it”, said the actor, one of the most powerful voices of the artistic class against the threat to democracy in the country.
“I will quote a phrase from Marighella: ‘There is no time to be afraid,'” he said, when asked about his combative attitude towards the government of Jair Bolsonaro. “I wouldn’t be who I am if I didn’t take a stand,” he said, adding that he continues, yes, handing out red towels with Lula’s face to his friends. “I have a lot”.
The actor also talked about “Santo”, a Spanish series recorded in Europe and also in Brazil. The plot tells the story of a highly wanted drug dealer whose face has never been seen. Gagliasso plays Cardona, a policeman looking for the criminal and needs to get along with his companion Millán, played by the Spaniard Raúl Arévalo, to solve the case.
Bruno guarantees that he had no difficulties with the language. “My character is Brazilian and I speak Portuguese, but I didn’t have many problems communicating with the cast and production. I lived in Argentina for a year [ele participou da primeira versão de “Chiquititas”, do SBT, em 2000] and learned the language there. It’s a different Spanish, of course, one is South American and one is European, but it wasn’t an issue, no. It all worked out in the end,” he explains.
