It’s been 17 years since he played Captain Nascimento in “Tropa de Elite” and countless other successful films, but Wagner Moura continues to talk about the characters in director José Padilha’s film.
The actor from Bahia, who is currently showing in cinemas with the American film “Civil War”, told a curious story behind the scenes of the recordings. Purple belt in Jiu Jitsu, he broke a police officer’s nose.
“It was a sinister preparation and I broke a guy from Bope’s nose. It was crazy, because the guy kept teasing me in training. And then there was a time when he said something about my son and I broke his nose”, said Moura in an interview with the Podpah podcast, this Tuesday (16). “He loved it. He said: ‘That’s it. Now!’. It was tough,” added the actor.
He recalled several moments from the recordings and analyzed Captain Guimarães. “Every character you play, you have it inside you. You won’t look for anything you don’t know. I know what that anger is, I know what that violence is. Everyone has everything bad and everything extraordinary, of beautiful, beautiful. The human being is this complexity”, he explained.
To film the sequence “Elite Squad 2: The Enemy is Now Another”, Wagner Moura recognized that he did not want to do the production. He said he was convinced by director José Padilha. “Zé Padilha was very good at convincing, he called me a lot”, he commented.
