Cinemao Paper related to Raul Seixas that Ravel Andrade played years ago

RAVEL ANDRADE received the mission of interpreting Raul Seixas in the series Raul Seixas: I am (2025), available in Globeand plunged into the character. However, about a decade ago, he had already had contact with the musical and personal universe of crazy beauty by participating in a film whose protagonist was a great partner of Raul.

In 2014, Ravel did Paulo Coelho – in younger version – in the movie Don’t stop on the trackwhich portrays the life and work of the Brazilian writer who co -cooked with Raul Seixas some of his main songs – “I was born ten thousand years ago”, “Fear of the rain”, “Alternative Society”, “Try again”, “Gîtâ” and several others.

In an interview with Luis Maluf to the Rolling Stone BrazilRavel recalled this story and commented on how much the film helped leverage his career, enabling his change to São Paulo.

He said:

“Looking back 10 years ago, my first great job, the work that took me from Porto Alegre And I brought me to Sao Paulo, it was Paulo Coelho’s film. Flame Don’t stop on the track (2014), directed by Daniel Augusto. I was already an actor in Porto Alegre. I was already doing theater there, it was already part of a group. I was already in short, already made cinema there, but nothing too big. I was still experimenting and learning a lot. I still consider myself an apprentice, but nowadays I have much more awareness. I was very green there at that moment. “

Interestingly, the movie Don’t stop on the track had as main actor Júlio AndradeBrother of Ravel Andrade. However, the production decided that it would be opportune to seek someone to play a younger Paulo Coelho – and reached the name of Ravel.

According to the actor, this was the lucky blow that approached Raul Seixas’s universe before he knew that one day he would play the rocker in an original series:

“I think it was in 2012. My brother received an invitation to make Paulo Coelho. To play, being Paulo Coelho. The script of the film told his story from 16 to 23. And after 25 until … I do not remember what age. The alchemist. And then, when they looked at the younger character, the production said: ‘It has the Ravel. They are brothers. It is there in Porto Alegre. Does he get a test? ‘ My brother said yes and called me: ‘Man, there was an opportunity for you. A test for you to make Paulo Coelho. I will make Paulo Coelho, and for you to make him younger ‘. I came to Sao Paulo, did the test, went to the test and did the movie. When I made Paulo Coelho’s movie, I entered Raul’s life. There I started to get in the intimacy a little. The movie spoke of their friendship. In my studies, I started listening to the lyrics, the records they had done together. Raul started to approach me. “
