The former Globo heartthrob becomes a hotel manager in Rio de Janeiro


Java Mayan played Fábio Jr’s son in a soap opera and participated in Malhação




Remember Java Maya? Perhaps at first sight it will be more difficult to name the person, but many will already recognize him when they are told that it is the identification of the interpreter of Zeca, the character son of Fabio Jr in the new Golden bodyin 1998, on Globo.

In addition to working with the heartthrob, Mayan also brought João to life, in Training (2005 to 2007), Beca, from Path of the Indies (2009), and Giba, da Good mood (2014).

Even though he has been away from TV for 10 years, he still gets recognized on the street. “As incredible as it may seem, even today people stop me and say: “Aren’t you that boy who played Fabio Jr’s son?” João, my character in “Malhação”, also had a big impact. People comment. Sometimes I have a huge beard and I still get stopped,” he said in an interview with the newspaper The globe.

“To be honest, I never thought about being an actor. I started doing theater as a joke, I enjoyed it. Suddenly the universe threw me into TV and I worked for 20 years. Just as I started, I stopped, and life continues to be just as wonderful. When I saw it, I didn’t even think about working as an actor anymore,” he added.

He currently works managing the family inn in Rio de Janeiro. “I have been dedicated to this activity for a long time. I lead a very healthy and light life. I’m with my brother and my father. I live here, it’s right in front of the beach,” she explained.
