Comedian Helio de la Peña, 62, famous for the program Casseta e Planeta (Globo), had a scare on Thursday (30) while diving in Leblon, south of Rio de Janeiro, when he came across a baby shark . He posted the video and spoke a little about the experience on his social networks.
“It was just a quiet swim to celebrate the end of the year, I took my GoPro to take some pictures with my sea partner. Nothing unusual, until when we were arriving in the sands of Leblon…”, he said, adding that they were missing 20 meters to complete the crossing when he saw the animal.
“Only now, editing, did I get a sense of what happened,” he continued. In fact, the plug hasn’t fallen yet. if [o filhote de tubarão] we were hungry, we didn’t even have a Globo cookie in our hands,” joked the comedian referring to the famous cookie sold on Rio’s beaches.
Helio de la Peña is currently on the air with the program Conversa Piada (Culture), which airs on Saturday nights, where he renews his partnership with fellow humorists Beto Silva, Claudio Manoel and Hubert Aranha after nearly 11 years since the end of Cassette and Planet.
In conversation with the Zapping column, from F5, he recently spoke about racism in humor and said it is a way of exposing the ridicule that racism is and the absurdity that it represents. “The absurdity and the ridiculous that are exposed when you make the joke and it becomes evident that you don’t have a place for that anymore. There should never have been.”
