Leandro Hassum says he discovered at the age of 21 that his father was from the Italian mafia

Scaled to play Silvio Santos (1930-2024) in a new host of the presenter and owner of SBT, Leandro Hassum recalled a personal drama who lived at 21. He found that his father, Carlos Alberto da Costa Moreira, was a member of the Italian mafia. The actor and humorist also commented that the reality of his family changed dramatically.

He began: “At 21, I found that my father was from the Italian mafia. Over the day. I lived a ‘margarine’ family, I slept rich and woke up without a penny,” Hassum recalled in an interview with the podcast so many times. The actor also recalled that his father used to gather his family and was a “daddy.” “He was a wonderful guy, an amazing father.”

Leandro said he asked for years how he had not suspected the situation. “I considered me a smart guy, but I chose not to see. My psychologist says I was asleep,” continued the actor, who, after his father’s arrest, had to sell snacks to pay for his theater course. “One day I visited him in prison and said, ‘You destroyed my life.'”

Years later, he forgave his father. “It must have been very difficult for this guy too. I’m not forgiving what he did in this criminal area, today I have no pity for my father to have sorry. But he taught me the man I didn’t want to be. He taught me even in the error. “

Carlos Alberto died in 2014, a week after Hassum had a bariatric surgery. “We were already good, we had made up. When he left, I didn’t spill a tear and felt extremely guilty,” he recalls. Two years later, on his father’s birthday, he cried a lot as he walked. “I stopped in the middle of the condominium and cried a lot. I lived my fight two years later.”
