How is the actor who left the soap opera Globo in the midst of the pandemic?

In 2020, when Globo decided to resume the recording of “Salve-se Quem Puder” after the Covid-19 pandemic had calmed down, Portuguese actor José Condessa did not return to record the 7 p.m. soap opera that had been interrupted for months.

He returned to Lisbon, where he recorded “Bem Me Quer” on the TVI channel. The press spoke of abandonment and lack of professionalism. The Rio broadcaster was in fact aware of this commitment.

Despite attempts, there was no solution to the scheduling conflict: the character Juan left the plot and Rodrigo Simas (Téo) was chosen to replace his romantic lead.

The Countess began other works in her country. In 2023, Brazil crossed her path again. She spent a few weeks on the coast of Bahia to shoot scenes for the soap opera “Cacau”, set partly on a cocoa farm in the region. The artist enjoyed her free time by going for walks and swimming in the sea. A few months later, she celebrated New Year’s Eve in Rio.

On social media, the heartthrob expressed his love for the country. “There is a great void when we leave Brazil, especially because it doesn’t leave us. Nor do we want it to go,” he wrote. “I don’t know if in another life I was lucky enough to experience Brazil more, but I know that in this one I’m still in love.”

At the end of July, he finished filming the second season of “Rabo de Peixe”, a Portuguese original series on Netflix. The landscapes of the Azores served as the backdrop for the script about a young fisherman caught in trouble.

With a career spanning 27 and ten years, José Condessa is one of the most sought-after actors for leading roles in Portuguese television fiction. By reluctantly leaving ‘Salve-se Quem Puder’, he has shown his desire to return to acting at Globo. You deserve better luck next time.
