The actor is investing in combat sports as part of his rehabilitation process
Actor Lucas Penteado (“Our Dream”) is about to make his boxing debut after spending nearly a year in the hospital due to an intense drug battle. The former BBB promises to enter the ring with blood in his eyes to face actor Thomaz Costa (“A Fazenda 14”) this Saturday (10/12), at the Fight Music Show.
In an interview with Extra newspaper, Penteado said he is investing in sports as part of the rehabilitation process, as he now wants to have a healthy life. “Sport is the best medicine for the mind. It gives self-esteem and makes us get to know our body, to look inside ourselves. I think I arrive well prepared. I’m happy with the results we saw in training,” he said.
“I really feel like I’m in the shoes of a boxer. Today it no longer makes sense for me to go to a nightclub, for example. I also can’t drink alcohol, because it generates negative results in training. I plan to continue boxing, but reconciling it with my acting, if I get hit I can’t make a film,” continued Penteado, who doesn’t want to give up his career.
It will explode!
Despite the fear of getting hurt, Penteado assured that he is willing and ready to beat his rival in the ring. One of the main reasons is the frustration he felt when he met Costa, who was one of his idols when he watched “Carrossel” (2012), on SBT.
“I expected him to be a humble guy, but he was always very skittish and aggressive with me. He made fun of me when I talked about this psychological health issue the world is facing, the fear of death. He said I was raising a flag. In the ring I’ll smash his face to see if he wakes up”, provoked Penteado. “I want to win the battle to show that, when you feel bad, you can get back up and rebuild your life. They are cycles,” he added.
