Alexandre Nero talks about the early death of parents and impact of paternity on his life

At 55, Alexandre Nero opened a delicate chapter of his history. The actor revealed that he lost his parents as a teenager, both cancer victims, within a half and a half years. At the time, he was 14 and his brother, 17.

According to the actor, early grief forced him to grow ahead of time. “Before, I believed it was mature for these losses. I had to turn financially; it was a kind of wild thing, and I created a hard shell. But it was emotionally immature,” QG Brasil magazine was interviewed.

He and his older brother supported themselves in the first month after the loss with only life insurance left by their parents.

Today, Naá’s father, 9, and Inã, 6, of the relationship with costume designer Karen Brustolin, Nero states that paternity has radically changed its way of facing death. “I didn’t scare me, but from the moment I had both, I said, ‘I can’t die’.”

“According to him, it was only after becoming a father – and revisiting the brands of early loss – which actually reached maturity.

Psychoanalysis, he adds, has been fundamental in this process of revisitation to this moment of his youth. “I thought I wasn’t going to catch me, it wouldn’t be a problem, but it’s complicated.”
