“A lawyer of the time and gay, who found me at a moment in my life when I decided to talk about my sexuality as well. So, I received this invitation in a very nice way, at a moment when we need to examples, people that you’re able to look at and say, ‘I can be that guy,'” she said, sharing that she’s happy with her family alongside the soap opera director João Emanuel Carneirowith whom he has been married for 17 years.

Pedro’s father even joked about setting up a “long ago laboratory” for this character. “Some people carry a little bit of bias and tend to put you in a box: ‘You’re gay but you look like a man.’ I’m a man. There’s a good story to tell there,” he said.
