Paulo Vieira talks about when he was walking and sold drumsticks: ‘both ate and sold’

Paulo Vieira, 32, remembered a little of his childhood during participation in the Cauldron with Mion this Saturday (14). The humorist was interviewed by children on the board why, Mion? And he spoke of the period when he was a street vendor of Salgados when he was 12 years old.

“Before working at Globo, on television, I was a street vendor. Do you know those people on the street selling salty? I did that there,” he said. “So both ate and sold.”

According to Marcos Mion’s program, even before that, he had to mature early because his parents worked outside, which made him need to take care of his youngest brother, José Vitório Neto. “At the age of 9, I had a lot of responsibility in my house,” he said.

“I took my house to take care of her, clean the house, wash clothes, take care of my brother,” he continued. “My parents worked all day, so I took care of my younger brother. I took the house very early. Then I went to work on the street to sell things.”

Despite the perrengues, some of which recorded in Globoplay’s “Pablo e Luisão” series, Paul said he believed he would one day succeed. “I always knew that things are a phase and that sometimes you pass a phase that is not so good, but that will be justified up front,” he said.

“All my life I thought I would stop on television. So sometimes I would take a salty box and sell on the street and I thought, ‘Wow, it will look beautiful in my biography.’ And it was,” he said.
