It is very beautiful to see a person with such personality, that even in difficult times he has not bowed to the apparent impositions of life and was not shaped by the expectations of a largely prejudiced society.

How was your preparation to interpret Marco?

Bruno Montaleone:Along with Benish, [o preparador de elenco] Roberto Audio and even the JesuitI was building March. We talked about valuable memories that Ney He had shared with Smir to recreate these situations and make their chemistry happen. Benish It was like a “totem” that provided us with important information about our characters. At the same time, he also encouraged me to be able to create up, so that I wouldn’t just get attached to the real facts, giving my face to the character. It was great, because it gave me confidence and artistic freedom to work on the script, I was feeling super comfortable.

Ney Matogrosso made some visits to the set during filming. How was the experience of having it accompanying the daily rates?

BM:It was amazing! It was the first time I saw him so closely. To know Ney That way it was very cool. Of course we took the opportunity to ask questions of everything we could, and he, super detached and generous, shared his stories with us. I believe that, at first, he had gone just to see one scene or another, to have an idea of ​​the whole, but ended up to the end. We were thrilled together, I never thought that a day of work could be like this. I will keep forever in memory.

Man with h It has many scenes of nudity and sex. How was the work with the intimacy coordinator on the set?

BM:I was so happy with the possibility of telling this story, so rich and a thousand nuances, perspectives and layers that I didn’t even care if they were really numerous. We are there portraying someone’s life, I think it shows real and natural episodes that were part of the life and trajectory of Ney.

The scenes have a purpose of being there, and although it has no taboo, they don’t make the movie about it, they help tell this story. But, of course, everything happened with its proper care and support of the team, but not specifically with someone who had this function of intimacy coordinator. It was not so different from our process with other scenes of the movie.

Now, besides Man with hsoon you return to the role of Ian Clarke in Foundsequence of Lost. What can the public expect from the continuation?

BM:It will be a pleasure to return to this fantastic universe. It is very cool to work in this field of fantasy, dress costumes, travel in time … Lost already have an idea and almost small spoiler From what they can expect through the literary saga, but anticipate that we will not want to be desired in magic, romance, dilemmas between two worlds that collide, important messages and reflection, even with lightness and fun, and that feeling of heart warm and hope to remember how the feeling can survive the challenges that life presents, and that the desire to make it happen and good energies moves worlds, even in the case of Foundtwo worlds so different. Me and GI [a atriz Giovanna Grigio, que interpreta a protagonista Sofia] We are already very eager to have access to the script and start freaking out on this adventure that we love so much. And to be able to bring it all to the fans, of course!

THE bestseller From Carina Rissi has a passionate legion of fans. What was it like to enter a project with the responsibility to meet the expectations of so many admirers?

BM:In the beginning, we even get a fright with so much people in love with this story, although it has this potential. I believe that, initially, there is an extra responsibility, yes, to want to live, besides the cold in the belly, so that there is welcome the character so loved by the Bookstans, now in live action. But there comes a time when all this has to be left behind, after all, you are working hard to build a character and that’s what you have to focus on. Although this attempt is human, there is no one who pleases everyone and is unanimous, in no instance of life, so what we can do is grate a lot to deliver a good job. I try not to cling to the things I don’t control, but at the same time, to do everything within my reach.

In recent years, you have been moving both for soap operas, Mania de youstreaming with the series Back at 15 and Secret Truths 2now it’s back in theaters. Do you have a favorite format?

BM:Since I started, I always dreamed of making movies. I confess that it was a place that pleased me a lot and, in fact, was where I felt most performed as an artist, or where I feel that my potential was explored. But I believe this is possible in any format. Perhaps the secret is to gather great professionals, who bet all their chips in the story they are telling and have full confidence in her strength. I like to be working. In parallel, in my ideal world, I dream more and more to have the privilege of embarking only on what I really want to do.

You have completed 10 years of career and are constantly exploring new facets in your projects. What challenge do you want to face next?

BM:I believe that with this milestone came to light with a thought: I want to perform my ideas. For a long time I have made stories of others, and there is nothing wrong with that. At the same time, I think an artist should create, because that’s what an artist does. So I want to allow myself to create and also develop copyright projects that bring my DNA, anguish, aspirations and urgencies printed on them.

You were announced in the cast of Tom Tomdirected by Rafael Cabral. What can advance about this new project?

BM:Yes! We are in the very early stages, I still know little about the project. THE Rafa He called me to tell this story and I stumbled away. I think it is a very current cut out of a bubble in Rio de Janeiro and reflects some of our problems. Not to mention that the character seems very interesting and with a facet that I think I haven’t explored yet. I want to be able to be and work with my friends too.
