João Fernandes, from ‘Perfect Love’, says it is ‘desperate’ routine of solo father and Globo actor

On air as Justino in “Amor Perfeito”, a soap opera on Globo’s 6 pm slot, João Fernandes, 24, has been sharing the recording routine with another very important role: that of father to Nicolas, 3. The boy is his son with his wife actress Mabel Calzolari, his ex-fiancée, who died in June 2021.

John tells the F5 how to reconcile family and work, something not always peaceful. “It’s a desperate routine, especially in terms of finances. Separating is different from losing. I don’t have anyone to share the expenses with, so I need to outsource the care and work hard for that”, he says. “I don’t know what I would change to make it easier. That’s what being a father is for me.”

Globo’s breaks are dedicated to Nicolas and his relationship with veterinary medicine student Ketelyn Menezes. The actor says he believes that, little by little, the girlfriend should become the boy’s mother figure. “The maternal role is still supplied by my mother [com quem moram]. In the future, we will live together and he will understand that a couple symbolizes parents “, she says. “Ketelyn and Nicolas get along very well, and she bears any responsibility “.

Meanwhile, the actor lives the expectation for his character’s growth in “Perfect Love”. It is Justino who holds the secret that will turn the key in the soap opera’s plot and reveal to the protagonist, Marê (Camila Queiroz), who his son is. “In the next episodes, more will be told about Justino’s life”, he anticipates.

In addition, João will appear in “O Jogo que Mudou a História”, a Globoplay series about the origin of the war against drug trafficking in Rio de Janeiro. The actor will play Binho, a 15-year-old young man inspired by a real figure. “It’s the most important role of my career,” he celebrates.

At the same time, the actor wants to follow in the footsteps of colleagues like Bruno Gagliasso and Marcos Palmeira and become an entrepreneur. He says he plans to open his own pet shop together with his future wife (yes, there are plans to marry Ketelyn!).
