On Twitter, actor Babu Santana paid homage to his friend, highlighting his musical side and the importance of Tornado in his upbringing. “He danced beautifully to the sound of his powerful voice. I remember being blown away during his entire performance and at the end, I looked at my mother delighted, and said: MOM I WANT TO HAVE HAIR LIKE TONY TORNADO”, he wrote.

Tony’s son, Lincoln Tornado did not participate in the soap opera’s backstage party but also honored him on the networks. “I am very blessed to have my father as the greatest idol, career reference, human being, father, friend and having his phrase ‘Everything will work out’ as a great motto. You make me proud”, he wrote.
