Celebrities mourn the death of Cid Moreira: ‘He is gone, but he will not be forgotten’

The death of Cid Moreira at the age of 97 made many celebrities mourn the departure of the journalist and icon of Brazilian television.

Presenter Britto Jr. said on social media that he lost an idol. “I am devastated by the death of my greatest idol on Brazilian television: Cid Moreira, at 97 years old. The best presenter in the history of our television journalism. But the voice of God will never be silent. It will be immortalized in the biblical texts recorded by him”, he wrote .

Ana Maria Braga said that Cid’s voice and talent marked generations and transformed Brazilian journalism. “We thank you for your dedication and for teaching us the importance of truth. Your contribution will be forever remembered. Rest in peace,” he wrote.

At the Meeting (Globo), William Bonner spoke about the loss and projected a tribute in Jornal Nacional on Thursday night (3). “I was able to present JN with him. This is a professional experience that those who pass it have difficulty describing. He is a gigantic figure”, he said.

Fátima Bernardes recalled that when she started watching Jornal Nacional, Cid was already making history. “The first time I went live on JN in the middle of a flood, he was the one who called my name: ‘the reporter Fátima Bernardes is speaking live from there’. His voice on that bench was a hallmark, a seal of quality . He is gone, but he will not be forgotten.”

Sandra Annanberg recalled her debut alongside him. “I would like to leave a big hug for the family and for Brazil that will live without this voice. I have the honor of having debuted alongside him, I was the first woman to appear alongside him on JN. I have always been careful, a master.

Sérgio Chapelin spoke about the partnership. “He was the best professional I’ve ever worked with. He taught me a lot and I had to work hard to keep up with his level. He had an exquisite technique and enviable talent.”

Tata Werneck was another person to declare himself. “Dear, Cid. It was an honor to have met you and to be able to interview you. A huge kiss from Fátima and may God receive you with all his love.”
