The actor compared the weight loss process of the first ‘O Auto da Compadecida’ with the current one, which he says is healthier
Selton Mello, who will appear later this year as the protagonist of the films I’m still here AND The Compadecida Auto 2he intervened High hours Saturday 7, on what it meant to lose weight playing such different characters and on the differences compared to his preparation for the first film based on Ariano Suassuna’s work, released in 2001.
Regarding the recent trial, he commented: It is very difficult to lose weight. I have a sweets business, I’m a chocolate addict. Putting on weight is child’s play, gaining weight to play Rubens Paiva was child’s play. It was difficult to lose to Chicó in a month and a half. I lost 15kg in two months.”
When asked by Astrid Fontenelle how he managed to lose weight, Selton Mello replied: “I closed my mouth and cried. I cried hard into my pillow. That’s all, guys. It’s very hard, but it has to be. So much so that in O Car [da Compadecida] 2 I notice that I start the film and start to lose weight. Anyone who looks at it won’t notice, but I will.”
Differences between Selton Mello in O Auto from Compadecida 1 and 2
“THE Himself [da Compadecida] 1 I did this at a time in my life when I was 25, now I’m 51. At the time I was taking appetite suppressants for a movie called Archaic agriculture and I continued to take [fazer] Chico. It wasn’t normal for me, I was on drugs. In fact, I don’t recommend it, because it hurt me a lot!”, recalled the actor.
He continued: “I was taking stuff from trendy doctors, it wasn’t good for me. I was addicted to it for years, took that stuff, lost weight for the next movie, gained weight my whole life, then lost weight. .. It made my head hurt a lot, it even drove me into a state of depression.”
Selton Mello also stressed that he accepted the differences of his character in the two films: “The Chicó of now, when I tried to lose weight, there was a moment where I said: ‘Wow, I can’t be that.’ But I’m not going to be that. It wasn’t even in my nature, I was on drugs and I was 25.”
