00:00:05,965 --> 00:00:08,551
Didn't he say he would pay me a tribute?

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Official YIFY movies site:

4
00:00:08,551 --> 00:00:10,970
But in a tribute, someone sings for you...

5
00:00:10,970 --> 00:00:15,850
- But you put me to work, so I'll sing.
- You'll fall down like a crab.

6
00:00:15,850 --> 00:00:17,101
I told you that.

7
00:00:17,101 --> 00:00:21,105
- He likes to make fun of me.
- Mama does what she wants. Ridiculous.

8
00:00:21,105 --> 00:00:23,149
You're ridiculous, Paulo Gustavo.

9
00:00:23,149 --> 00:00:27,862
- Do you want a drink? Sit here.
- Actually, I'd like to have some whiskey.

10
00:00:27,862 --> 00:00:30,865
No, you can't drink whiskey,
you'll talk too much.

11
00:00:30,865 --> 00:00:32,742
Have some water.

12
00:00:32,742 --> 00:00:34,785
The other day my mom had whiskey,

13
00:00:34,785 --> 00:00:38,831
and started to talk about the whole
"Men wear blue, women wear pink."

14
00:00:38,831 --> 00:00:40,291
Some agreed, others didn't.

15
00:00:40,291 --> 00:00:42,001
She had two shots and said,

16
00:00:42,001 --> 00:00:47,631
"Guys, I dressed Paulo Gustavo in blue
for all his childhood and now he's gay.

17
00:00:48,215 --> 00:00:50,050
"Colors are irrelevant."

18
00:00:55,055 --> 00:00:57,516
You guys are killing it!

19
00:01:09,570 --> 00:01:14,700
People see me on stage singing,
but they don't know I had gastritis,

20
00:01:14,700 --> 00:01:18,662
constipation, back pain and insomnia.

21
00:01:19,747 --> 00:01:21,457
That's the life of an artist.

22
00:01:27,046 --> 00:01:31,050
You keep following me.
You got nothing better to do, right?

23
00:01:31,050 --> 00:01:33,469
I'm like Kim Kardashian to you.

24
00:01:35,679 --> 00:01:37,681
What's the next stop, Paulo?

25
00:01:37,681 --> 00:01:42,019
Madison Square Garden, New York.
See you there.

26
00:01:42,019 --> 00:01:46,190
Attention, all passengers
traveling to Galeão, Rio de Janeiro,

27
00:01:46,190 --> 00:01:48,943
the temperature is 60 degrees.

28
00:01:50,694 --> 00:01:52,196
Bia and Carol.

29
00:01:52,196 --> 00:01:55,074
You'll spend the night at mine,
I'm afraid of ghosts.

30
00:01:55,199 --> 00:01:56,867
- No.
- Thales went out.

31
00:01:56,867 --> 00:02:00,162
Someone has to sleep over.
My husband isn't home.

32
00:02:00,162 --> 00:02:03,123
Let's be together. Me, you and your farts.

33
00:02:03,999 --> 00:02:07,545
- He talks like he doesn't fart.
- Yeah.

34
00:02:09,630 --> 00:02:14,677
He started his career
with My Mom Is a Character.

35
00:02:14,677 --> 00:02:16,512
MOVIE "MY MOM IS A CHARACTER 1"

36
00:02:16,512 --> 00:02:18,597
Mocking me, laughing, teasing.

37
00:02:18,597 --> 00:02:22,726
And ended with Son of a Mother,
which is a tribute to me.

38
00:02:22,726 --> 00:02:27,314
This is an amazing tour.
Very important to me and my trajectory.

39
00:02:27,857 --> 00:02:31,026
It's a way to thank my mom,
to thank my friends,

40
00:02:31,026 --> 00:02:34,071
and everyone who's been in my life.
It's all here.

41
00:02:39,660 --> 00:02:42,538
Son of a Mother

42
00:02:52,715 --> 00:02:57,136
I'm here in the rain, bringing
my own food, because I'm on a diet.

43
00:02:57,845 --> 00:02:59,471
JAM HOUSE STUDIO - RJ

44
00:02:59,471 --> 00:03:00,931
Hey, guys.

45
00:03:01,473 --> 00:03:05,936
This golden microphone
will make your voice sound perfect.

46
00:03:05,936 --> 00:03:09,773
- Let's do this, guys.
-"Mommy." Isn't it a tribute for me?

47
00:03:09,773 --> 00:03:11,066
- Yes.
- Then it's for me.

48
00:03:11,066 --> 00:03:12,693
Make it sound ludic.

49
00:03:13,402 --> 00:03:15,738
MARCH, 2019
FIRST "SON OF A MOTHER" REHEARSALS

50
00:03:23,245 --> 00:03:28,500
You have a runny nose.
You have the flu. You'll give me the flu.

51
00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:29,585
Let's go.

52
00:03:29,585 --> 00:03:32,880
Screw it, I don't fucking...

53
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,508
Don't say "fucking care" on stage!

54
00:03:36,508 --> 00:03:39,720
Say "freaking care."

55
00:04:01,158 --> 00:04:06,246
This show actually means much more
than a regular show for me,

56
00:04:06,246 --> 00:04:09,375
because it's a tribute to my mom.

57
00:04:09,375 --> 00:04:11,418
I got the songs she used to sing

58
00:04:11,418 --> 00:04:16,882
in bars, pubs, steakhouses,
wedding parties, she used to...

59
00:04:16,882 --> 00:04:22,096
She used to sing Bossa Nova and MPB
at night to make more money.

60
00:04:41,198 --> 00:04:43,951
He walked into the studio
to set up the show.

61
00:04:43,951 --> 00:04:45,786
MUSICAL DIRECTOR

62
00:04:45,786 --> 00:04:48,956
I asked him
if he wouldn't follow a script.

63
00:04:49,081 --> 00:04:53,752
He said, "No, I'll tease my mom,
piss her off, and that'll be the show."

64
00:04:54,294 --> 00:04:57,548
When it was silent,
he would come very close to the mic,

65
00:04:57,548 --> 00:05:01,427
and say, "Because my mom..."
And I knew something was coming.

66
00:05:01,427 --> 00:05:03,595
He caught everyone's attention.

67
00:05:03,595 --> 00:05:07,474
I don't see the point
in traveling to the US to go shopping.

68
00:05:07,474 --> 00:05:10,394
- Brazilian people are tacky.
- Yeah, say that.

69
00:05:10,394 --> 00:05:13,313
Brazilians are tacky.
They go to an outlet mall

70
00:05:14,189 --> 00:05:18,110
to buy cotton, cotton swabs...
It's so tacky.

71
00:05:18,110 --> 00:05:22,114
- You...
- I'd rather go to Paris and go to a café.

72
00:05:22,114 --> 00:05:24,074
Then go to Paris.

73
00:05:24,074 --> 00:05:26,410
- Mom...
- Listen to music in Montmartre.

74
00:05:26,410 --> 00:05:31,081
My mom went to Paris and drank champagne
from a plastic cup below the Eiffel Tower

75
00:05:31,081 --> 00:05:35,002
- singing La Vie en Rose. Ridiculous.
- You're ridiculous.

76
00:05:35,002 --> 00:05:39,631
- People in Paris thought she was crazy.
- Bullshit. They applauded me.

77
00:05:39,631 --> 00:05:42,217
She did a video all sweaty.

78
00:05:42,217 --> 00:05:46,388
You're lying.
I sent you a wonderful video.

79
00:05:46,388 --> 00:05:49,892
Everyone loved it. It was midnight...

80
00:05:49,892 --> 00:05:52,603
You could see the nurses in the video.

81
00:05:52,603 --> 00:05:55,189
We're setting things up,
figuring it out...

82
00:05:55,189 --> 00:05:59,068
It has to match your identity.
When it's done, it'll be great.

83
00:05:59,068 --> 00:06:01,278
- We have to...
- It already is.

84
00:06:01,278 --> 00:06:05,240
It will be great.
You won't be there, another guy will sing.

85
00:06:06,492 --> 00:06:10,496
That's the career of an actor.
Challenges every day.

86
00:06:10,496 --> 00:06:14,166
I love doing this show,
I love seeing myself as a singer.

87
00:06:14,166 --> 00:06:19,254
Maybe there's a Maria Bethânia
hidden inside me.

88
00:06:20,339 --> 00:06:22,716
- Ninety.
- What's Xuxa's size?

89
00:06:22,716 --> 00:06:24,176
- Just tell me.
- It's 74 cm.

90
00:06:24,176 --> 00:06:28,555
That's so sad.
Xuxa's waist is 74 cm, mine is 90 cm.

91
00:06:28,555 --> 00:06:29,473
That's so sad.

92
00:06:31,058 --> 00:06:33,769
- What about my butt?
- It's okay. It's 103 cm.

93
00:06:33,769 --> 00:06:36,730
- What's Xuxa's butt size?
- I think it's 98 cm.

94
00:06:36,730 --> 00:06:39,274
My butt is bigger than Xuxa's. Thank God!

95
00:06:40,025 --> 00:06:44,571
Susana, I'm starting to get nervous.
I won't even read this.

96
00:06:45,364 --> 00:06:47,199
She gave it to me and I just...

97
00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:49,076
- It's great.
- I didn't even read it.

98
00:06:49,076 --> 00:06:50,410
DRESS REHEARSAL

99
00:06:50,410 --> 00:06:54,957
I think they both should come
without this, just to make sure.

100
00:06:54,957 --> 00:06:59,044
I need to read the lyrics.
I need them in front of me.

101
00:06:59,044 --> 00:07:01,421
You won't read the first and second ones.

102
00:07:01,421 --> 00:07:04,800
- What if I get it wrong?
- Then we'll improvise.

103
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,136
This is a show, not a game.

104
00:07:25,654 --> 00:07:27,281
I need my phone, Carol.

105
00:07:28,282 --> 00:07:31,201
- My phone.
- I think it's charging.

106
00:07:35,205 --> 00:07:36,915
Paulo, how was the rehearsal?

107
00:07:36,915 --> 00:07:40,794
It was great. I'm exhausted.
My mom is so difficult.

108
00:07:41,378 --> 00:07:44,965
She won't rehearse.
She needs to walk in the end, you know,

109
00:07:44,965 --> 00:07:49,887
and sing the Mangueira samba
behind the LED display.

110
00:07:49,887 --> 00:07:54,308
I told her 20 times, but she gets
carried away and she won't rehearse.

111
00:07:54,308 --> 00:07:59,146
I told her, "Mom, you have to rehearse.
It's not just fun and games."

112
00:08:00,689 --> 00:08:03,317
I'll have some cappuccino,
I need some sugar.

113
00:08:04,109 --> 00:08:07,237
- Is there any sugar on this?
- Everything's fine.

114
00:08:07,237 --> 00:08:10,032
I want sugar, dairy, gluten.

115
00:08:10,657 --> 00:08:15,537
I want something made of gluten,
a gratin with dairy and sugar on top.

116
00:08:15,537 --> 00:08:20,626
Like this... Put some sugar like this.
And salt, to confuse my stomach.

117
00:08:27,007 --> 00:08:32,012
CAIO MARTINS STADIUM
PAULO GUSTAVO'S HOMETOWN

118
00:08:32,763 --> 00:08:35,557
SON OF A MOTHER

119
00:08:36,475 --> 00:08:39,228
Music is something very special for her.

120
00:08:39,228 --> 00:08:43,774
She wanted to be a singer,
a professional singer.

121
00:08:45,192 --> 00:08:49,696
Paulo decided to put me on stage
to pay me a tribute.

122
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,535
Mom, get on stage and slay.
The audience is waiting for you.

123
00:09:18,475 --> 00:09:21,645
APRIL 2019

124
00:09:21,645 --> 00:09:27,567
PAULO GUSTAVO'S LAST PREMIERE IN THEATER

125
00:10:03,228 --> 00:10:05,272
Go, Mom!

126
00:10:38,263 --> 00:10:42,100
My mom has reached an age
in which she falls asleep like a pigeon.

127
00:10:42,642 --> 00:10:45,228
- She's sitting down...
- He'll mock me.

128
00:10:45,228 --> 00:10:49,191
She falls asleep out of nowhere,
just like this.

129
00:10:52,152 --> 00:10:54,946
- Just like this, you know?
- Very funny.

130
00:10:54,946 --> 00:10:59,368
She talks about me, but when she sleeps
over, her phone rings all night.

131
00:10:59,368 --> 00:11:02,913
My mom is in a WhatsApp group
with 69 old ladies.

132
00:11:04,539 --> 00:11:08,543
My mom has some very funny friends
from Barra do Piraí.

133
00:11:08,543 --> 00:11:12,089
They all bought tickets
to see our show in Vivo Rio,

134
00:11:12,089 --> 00:11:16,802
but 20 of them couldn't buy it,
because it was sold out two months ago.

135
00:11:16,802 --> 00:11:20,555
Now they hope someone gets sick
to give up their ticket.

136
00:11:21,723 --> 00:11:25,602
They call each other every day and say,
"Isn't she sick?"

137
00:11:25,602 --> 00:11:28,063
- Oh, God.
-"I just need one more ticket."

138
00:11:29,231 --> 00:11:31,441
Don't you pinch me.

139
00:11:31,441 --> 00:11:32,567
She comes like this.

140
00:11:32,567 --> 00:11:36,613
She pinched me on stage once,
and my arm looked like a rainbow later.

141
00:11:36,613 --> 00:11:38,949
You'll get arrested
for calling people old.

142
00:11:38,949 --> 00:11:43,286
There are 69 of them.
If you want to get in my mom's group,

143
00:11:43,286 --> 00:11:47,332
they elect presidents,
they care for the environment.

144
00:11:47,332 --> 00:11:51,503
If you sell Avon,
you can advertise there.

145
00:11:51,628 --> 00:11:53,130
He's such a coward.

146
00:11:53,130 --> 00:11:56,758
- Come closer.
- I'm just walking and avoiding you.

147
00:11:56,758 --> 00:12:00,220
If you don't stop this,
Paulo Gustavo, I'll slap you.

148
00:12:00,220 --> 00:12:04,558
- You'll get arrested if you hit me.
- The hell I will. Guys, listen.

149
00:12:04,558 --> 00:12:07,602
We have the Statute
of the Child and Adolescent.

150
00:12:07,602 --> 00:12:10,939
- It doesn't apply to him anymore.
- It doesn't.

151
00:12:10,939 --> 00:12:14,734
We have the Statute of the Elderly.
It doesn't apply to him either.

152
00:12:14,734 --> 00:12:18,196
He's at an age
in which I can slap him all I want.

153
00:12:18,196 --> 00:12:21,741
If he fights back,
he's the one who will be arrested.

154
00:12:26,913 --> 00:12:31,084
- Déa!
- Déa!

155
00:12:31,084 --> 00:12:32,878
He didn't like studying.

156
00:12:32,878 --> 00:12:34,713
PAULO GUSTAVO'S MOTHER

157
00:12:34,713 --> 00:12:38,300
He'd flunk out. He got expelled twice.

158
00:12:38,300 --> 00:12:41,219
Once from Salesiano School,
a private school.

159
00:12:41,219 --> 00:12:42,971
PAULO GUSTAVO
11 YEARS OLD - 1989

160
00:12:42,971 --> 00:12:46,183
So, I put him in a public one,
because I didn't have money.

161
00:12:46,183 --> 00:12:49,561
He caused so much trouble in school.

162
00:12:49,561 --> 00:12:53,857
On the other hand,
he was able to appreciate culture.

163
00:12:53,982 --> 00:12:59,237
There were these wonderful serenades
in the afternoons.

164
00:12:59,237 --> 00:13:01,656
So, I'd bring them along and tell them,

165
00:13:01,656 --> 00:13:06,328
"If you open your mouths,
I'll pinch you."

166
00:13:06,328 --> 00:13:09,164
So they'd behave
and listen to the music.

167
00:13:09,164 --> 00:13:11,458
And they enjoyed it.

168
00:13:22,719 --> 00:13:27,307
JULIANA (SISTER), 13 YEARS OLD - 1993

169
00:13:29,935 --> 00:13:34,606
PAULO GUSTAVO, 15 YEARS OLD - 1993

170
00:13:36,858 --> 00:13:38,443
"MY MOM IS A CHARACTER" WRITER

171
00:13:38,443 --> 00:13:42,489
We saw the world in a similar way.
We'd walk here in Campo de São Bento,

172
00:13:42,489 --> 00:13:46,117
in Niterói, watching people
and making up their biographies.

173
00:13:46,117 --> 00:13:49,287
We smoked,
but we didn't have money for cigarettes,

174
00:13:49,287 --> 00:13:53,041
so we asked people for cigarettes
on the streets.

175
00:13:53,041 --> 00:13:56,044
We decided together who we'd ask.

176
00:13:56,044 --> 00:13:58,129
So a smoker would walk by and we'd say,

177
00:13:58,129 --> 00:14:00,882
"We shouldn't ask them,
I didn't like their face."

178
00:14:00,882 --> 00:14:03,093
We made up the person's life story.

179
00:14:03,093 --> 00:14:08,014
Paulo Gustavo did that all the time.
He liked to tell people's stories.

180
00:14:08,014 --> 00:14:10,600
My family couldn't pay
for a private college...

181
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,018
PAULO GUSTAVO'S SISTER

182
00:14:12,018 --> 00:14:14,854
...for me and my brother.

183
00:14:14,854 --> 00:14:19,568
So, my brother decided to apply

184
00:14:19,568 --> 00:14:23,780
for Martins Pena,
which is a public acting college.

185
00:14:23,780 --> 00:14:27,492
That's when he developed a panic disorder,

186
00:14:27,492 --> 00:14:31,538
and to get in that college,
he had to pass a test.

187
00:14:32,956 --> 00:14:36,960
So, when they called his name
to do the test, he got desperate.

188
00:14:37,586 --> 00:14:39,879
He said, "I can't do it."
I said, "You can.

189
00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:43,675
"You'll go there, get on stage,
pass the test,

190
00:14:43,675 --> 00:14:45,927
"and I'll be here waiting for you."

191
00:14:46,678 --> 00:14:48,597
He walked in

192
00:14:48,597 --> 00:14:52,851
and came back a few moments later,
pale, his hands cold.

193
00:14:52,851 --> 00:14:54,686
He said, "I couldn't do it, Juju."

194
00:14:54,686 --> 00:14:59,232
I believed in him so much
that once we got home,

195
00:14:59,232 --> 00:15:03,445
I gathered the family and said,
"Guys, we'll pay for his studies."

196
00:15:03,445 --> 00:15:07,949
I gave up my own education,
because he needed help.

197
00:15:07,949 --> 00:15:09,409
We faced many hardships.

198
00:15:09,534 --> 00:15:10,952
PAULO GUSTAVO'S STEPMOTHER

199
00:15:10,952 --> 00:15:14,998
He was like, "That's what I want
for my future, for real."

200
00:15:14,998 --> 00:15:19,127
So, we gathered the family
and I decided to pay for his college,

201
00:15:19,127 --> 00:15:22,422
so he could move forward.

202
00:15:22,422 --> 00:15:24,466
And thank God he moved forward.

203
00:15:25,133 --> 00:15:27,761
We're here with Paulo Gustavo.

204
00:15:28,928 --> 00:15:31,931
- What should I say?
- I'm sorry.

205
00:15:33,016 --> 00:15:33,892
ACTRESS

206
00:15:33,892 --> 00:15:35,352
Are you nervous, tense?

207
00:15:35,352 --> 00:15:39,814
Yes, I'm a bit nervous. The premiere
is tomorrow, I'm in the main cast.

208
00:15:39,814 --> 00:15:40,857
ACTOR

209
00:15:40,857 --> 00:15:44,736
I'll be behind the curtains
in total despair.

210
00:15:44,736 --> 00:15:49,991
My family is crazy.
Even our ancient ancestors were crazy.

211
00:15:51,660 --> 00:15:55,580
My mother has an aunt called Lúcia,
who lives in São Paulo, also crazy.

212
00:15:55,580 --> 00:15:59,501
The whole family inspired me
to do these movies and projects.

213
00:15:59,501 --> 00:16:01,795
She went with my mom to a shoe store.

214
00:16:01,795 --> 00:16:06,591
There were Mom, her,
three people and a mirror at the store.

215
00:16:06,591 --> 00:16:10,178
My mom was like this.
Lúcia sat down, looked to the side,

216
00:16:10,178 --> 00:16:12,347
and saw herself in the mirror.

217
00:16:13,014 --> 00:16:15,225
So, she said, "Déa,

218
00:16:16,101 --> 00:16:17,644
"don't look now.

219
00:16:19,229 --> 00:16:23,316
"There's a woman that looks just like me,
trying the same shoes on."

220
00:16:24,567 --> 00:16:28,780
Aunt Ana Lúcia is 80 years old
and she wears a wig,

221
00:16:28,780 --> 00:16:30,865
because her hair is thinning.

222
00:16:30,865 --> 00:16:35,036
She goes out at night and gets drunk
and keeps touching it like a hat.

223
00:16:35,745 --> 00:16:39,040
By the end of the night,
she has five different hair styles.

224
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,084
- Five.
- Poor thing.

225
00:16:41,084 --> 00:16:45,880
- The wig comes loose and she pulls it.
- She pulls it forward like this.

226
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,676
- She scratches here, it moves up.
- She's very crazy.

227
00:16:49,676 --> 00:16:55,682
- Once... She has some hemorrhoids.
-"Some hemorrhoids," he says.

228
00:16:55,682 --> 00:16:58,435
They'll never know who she is, it's okay.

229
00:16:58,435 --> 00:17:04,023
She has some hemorrhoids. Once, she yelled
to her son, "Where's my ointment?"

230
00:17:04,023 --> 00:17:08,653
He said, "It's on the nightstand."
In the dark, she applied Corega.

231
00:17:08,653 --> 00:17:10,905
It's a denture fixative.

232
00:17:10,905 --> 00:17:14,492
- She said it worked.
- She glued her butthole at 3:00 a.m.

233
00:17:22,083 --> 00:17:24,085
DÉA LÚCIA AND PAULO GUSTAVO'S AUNTS

234
00:17:24,085 --> 00:17:28,923
He told that story of when you got
the ointment and Corega mixed up.

235
00:17:28,923 --> 00:17:32,010
- I made a mistake.
- Applied Corega on your butthole.

236
00:17:32,010 --> 00:17:35,096
- And you got better.
- I never had a problem again.

237
00:17:35,096 --> 00:17:38,975
You glued your butthole and it was solved.
Never had a problem again.

238
00:17:38,975 --> 00:17:43,980
Do you think his success was by accident?
He was raised in the middle of this mess.

239
00:17:43,980 --> 00:17:46,441
Sometimes he'd mitigate the stories.

240
00:17:46,441 --> 00:17:49,027
- He'd mitigate.
- Yeah, he did.

241
00:17:49,027 --> 00:17:51,404
And let me tell you something.

242
00:17:51,404 --> 00:17:53,907
I've always thought Paulo was so smart,

243
00:17:53,907 --> 00:17:57,327
because he did great things
with so little.

244
00:17:57,327 --> 00:18:03,333
From a family story,
he made a whole plot,

245
00:18:03,333 --> 00:18:04,918
and that's who he was.

246
00:18:04,918 --> 00:18:07,378
Paulo Gustavo impersonated his mom a lot.

247
00:18:07,504 --> 00:18:08,421
COSTUME PARTY

248
00:18:08,421 --> 00:18:11,841
At costume parties,

249
00:18:11,841 --> 00:18:16,721
he dressed as what would become
Mrs. Hermínia. She wasn't called that yet.

250
00:18:16,721 --> 00:18:22,393
When he was studying acting,
there was a play called Surto.

251
00:18:23,144 --> 00:18:27,982
A friend of ours called Samantha,
who was already a professional actress,

252
00:18:27,982 --> 00:18:32,654
was invited to play a role on Surto.
After this, we went out with the cast.

253
00:18:33,446 --> 00:18:36,324
And Paulo Gustavo was always hilarious.

254
00:18:36,324 --> 00:18:41,621
So, at the bar table, he was playing
with the cast, laughing, telling stories,

255
00:18:41,621 --> 00:18:44,207
and they were like,
"Guys, he's hilarious."

256
00:18:44,207 --> 00:18:47,335
"Are you an actor too?
Do you want to play a role?"

257
00:18:47,335 --> 00:18:49,212
And then he said, "I do."

258
00:18:49,212 --> 00:18:51,548
So, they asked him if he had a character,

259
00:18:51,548 --> 00:18:54,634
and he said, "Yes."
But he didn't have a character.

260
00:18:55,343 --> 00:18:58,304
So, they told him
he would be on next week.

261
00:18:58,304 --> 00:19:01,808
Throughout the week,
me, him and Samantha

262
00:19:01,808 --> 00:19:06,729
got together and he said, "I don't have
a character. What now? What should I do?"

263
00:19:06,729 --> 00:19:09,357
And Samantha said,
"Impersonate your mom.

264
00:19:09,357 --> 00:19:12,026
"You always impersonate her,
it's very funny."

265
00:19:12,026 --> 00:19:14,904
So, we got together at Samantha's house,

266
00:19:14,904 --> 00:19:18,199
he stood up holding a broom
he found at Samantha's house.

267
00:19:18,199 --> 00:19:22,579
Samantha and I were sitting on the couch,
and we started improvising.

268
00:19:22,579 --> 00:19:24,289
MRS. HERMÍNIA'S FIRST APPEARANCE

269
00:19:24,289 --> 00:19:26,708
I don't want my daughter
involved in theater.

270
00:19:26,708 --> 00:19:30,461
In fact, she can't do it,
due to her intestinal problems.

271
00:19:30,587 --> 00:19:35,300
Because of her medication.
She's had constipation since she was born.

272
00:19:35,300 --> 00:19:39,929
Imagine if the medication works
in the middle of the scene, boy.

273
00:19:41,514 --> 00:19:43,349
It will be a shit show!

274
00:19:44,309 --> 00:19:46,311
And she got that from her father,

275
00:19:46,311 --> 00:19:50,857
who had the audacity of leaving me
with three children to raise on my own.

276
00:19:50,857 --> 00:19:54,777
Three! And one of them is a little weird,
because he's queer.

277
00:19:56,362 --> 00:19:59,616
Now, I'd understand if the queer kid
wanted to act.

278
00:20:00,283 --> 00:20:02,285
He's a lost cause.

279
00:20:02,994 --> 00:20:04,662
But she is a good girl.

280
00:20:04,662 --> 00:20:08,041
This is for people
who can't study Physics, Chemistry...

281
00:20:08,041 --> 00:20:13,046
They go for the arts.
And theater people don't believe in God.

282
00:20:14,839 --> 00:20:19,093
The other day she was saying
she's the daughter of Iansã and Ogum.

283
00:20:21,054 --> 00:20:24,349
What am I, then? A motherfucker, right?

284
00:20:26,893 --> 00:20:30,563
Mrs. Hermínia, why are you holding
that broom?

285
00:20:33,358 --> 00:20:36,277
I didn't even notice
I was holding a broom, boy.

286
00:20:36,903 --> 00:20:39,197
I left my house so angry.

287
00:20:39,989 --> 00:20:44,035
I brought a broom
like I was bringing a pen.

288
00:20:44,035 --> 00:20:48,331
Mrs. Hermínia, the day rate is good.
Did you know that?

289
00:20:51,793 --> 00:20:54,921
What is day rate? A paycheck?

290
00:20:56,339 --> 00:20:57,256
Yes, it is.

291
00:20:57,882 --> 00:20:59,300
How much is it?

292
00:21:00,259 --> 00:21:01,469
It's 1,500 reais.

293
00:21:04,764 --> 00:21:06,140
How much?

294
00:21:09,352 --> 00:21:12,981
In April 2005, after my play,
Men Are From Mars had just premiered.

295
00:21:12,981 --> 00:21:14,107
ACTRESS

296
00:21:14,107 --> 00:21:19,153
I was at Diagonal Pizza, in Leblon,
in Rio's bohemian spot,

297
00:21:19,153 --> 00:21:23,032
I was there with the cast
when suddenly someone approaches me,

298
00:21:23,032 --> 00:21:27,328
and says, "Hi, how are you? My name
is Paulo Gustavo, I'm from Niterói.

299
00:21:27,328 --> 00:21:32,583
"I've seen your play four times,
and I want to make a project like yours.

300
00:21:32,583 --> 00:21:35,586
"I want to make a monologue.
I'll use my own stories,

301
00:21:35,712 --> 00:21:38,798
"based on my mom,
and I want to show you, can I?"

302
00:21:38,798 --> 00:21:42,218
And I said, "Sure!"
Then, he got his project.

303
00:21:42,218 --> 00:21:46,305
A plastic folder with pictures
of Mrs. Hermínia, the synopsis...

304
00:21:46,305 --> 00:21:48,599
I remember looking at it,

305
00:21:48,599 --> 00:21:52,979
looking at that boy in front of me
from Niterói, that look on his eyes...

306
00:21:53,104 --> 00:21:55,732
of someone who loves life,
who wants to win,

307
00:21:55,732 --> 00:21:59,694
who believes in himself
and in the beautiful journey he'd create.

308
00:21:59,694 --> 00:22:04,615
I looked at him and said, "Darling, do it,
because it will change your life."

309
00:22:10,830 --> 00:22:13,166
Before graduating,
I was already on Surto.

310
00:22:13,166 --> 00:22:15,710
I met them here in Niterói, at UFF.

311
00:22:15,710 --> 00:22:19,881
They had space for guest appearances.
They invited me and I accepted.

312
00:22:19,881 --> 00:22:24,761
I kept performing with them,
and spent six months performing in Surto.

313
00:22:24,761 --> 00:22:28,639
The character I played in Surto
gave life to My Mom Is a Character,

314
00:22:28,639 --> 00:22:31,017
which is the show I'm on now.

315
00:22:31,142 --> 00:22:35,646
We warm up at the beginning,
so I'd walk around in my mother costume,

316
00:22:35,646 --> 00:22:38,816
from one wing to another.
It was very crazy.

317
00:22:38,816 --> 00:22:42,904
To make them laugh,
I'd walk by carrying a vase, a ladder,

318
00:22:42,904 --> 00:22:46,074
with props from the Alternativo play.

319
00:22:46,074 --> 00:22:48,743
We'd laugh out loud.
It was nice to be in Surto.

320
00:22:48,743 --> 00:22:51,496
I loved doing it. I really loved it.

321
00:22:51,496 --> 00:22:54,749
When I started my career, I wrote a play

322
00:22:54,749 --> 00:22:58,336
in collaboration with Fábio Porchat,
called Infraturas.

323
00:22:58,336 --> 00:23:02,090
Marcus Majella, Fábio Porchat and I
were in the same classes.

324
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,803
So we did it, Fábio and I,
but it wasn't a hit.

325
00:23:08,221 --> 00:23:12,141
We were on this show for eight months,
my dad gave us some money.

326
00:23:12,141 --> 00:23:15,103
My aunt, Dad's wife,
who paid for my time in CAL.

327
00:23:15,103 --> 00:23:19,440
CAL means "Casa das Laranjeiras,"
it's a professional acting course.

328
00:23:20,650 --> 00:23:22,568
My mom also helped as she could.

329
00:23:22,568 --> 00:23:24,862
But our play wasn't a hit, so I said,

330
00:23:24,987 --> 00:23:27,657
"I can't afford a play
that's not working."

331
00:23:27,657 --> 00:23:30,409
It wasn't much money,
but it was a lot for us.

332
00:23:31,244 --> 00:23:35,790
So I went home and I was like,
"I won't accept that. I'll write a play."

333
00:23:35,790 --> 00:23:40,545
I wrote My Mom Is a Character,
a tribute to my mom,

334
00:23:41,295 --> 00:23:43,714
which is the show that changed my life.

335
00:23:43,714 --> 00:23:47,927
So, I showed it to my mom and said,
"Mom, I'll impersonate you in theater."

336
00:23:47,927 --> 00:23:50,388
She said, "It won't work, Paulo Gustavo.

337
00:23:51,180 --> 00:23:52,515
"This is a joke."

338
00:23:52,515 --> 00:23:55,476
She saw the rehearsal and said,
"This is not funny."

339
00:23:55,476 --> 00:23:57,270
I said, "That's because it's you."

340
00:23:57,270 --> 00:23:59,647
Queen Déa was sitting right there.

341
00:23:59,647 --> 00:24:02,275
Paulo was here, I was sitting over there.

342
00:24:02,275 --> 00:24:03,526
DIRECTOR

343
00:24:03,526 --> 00:24:07,822
He started to talk and Déa said,
"I can't believe it.

344
00:24:07,822 --> 00:24:10,867
"I can't believe you included that,
Paulo Gustavo!

345
00:24:10,867 --> 00:24:15,121
"Oh, my God. You said that.
You said that name. What's that?"

346
00:24:15,121 --> 00:24:19,250
Paulo said, "Mom, you can't talk.
It's a rehearsal!

347
00:24:19,250 --> 00:24:21,669
"You can't talk to me
while I'm performing!"

348
00:24:21,669 --> 00:24:24,338
And it was wonderful.

349
00:24:24,338 --> 00:24:28,092
I was seeing the character
and the inspiration talking.

350
00:24:28,718 --> 00:24:31,095
Look at how my mom shows up, guys.

351
00:24:31,095 --> 00:24:33,973
She's so ridiculous, isn't she?

352
00:24:33,973 --> 00:24:38,519
She's got hair curlers on. Pitiful, right?

353
00:24:38,519 --> 00:24:41,230
Mrs. Hermínia makes money
because of the curler.

354
00:24:41,230 --> 00:24:43,733
- Curlers.
- Curler!

355
00:24:43,733 --> 00:24:45,985
He mimics me in every detail.

356
00:24:45,985 --> 00:24:50,281
I slept every night with hair curlers,
he'd mimic that.

357
00:24:50,281 --> 00:24:53,951
He'd mimic how I spoke,
he'd mimic my gestures.

358
00:24:54,535 --> 00:24:56,913
Anything to become Mrs. Hermínia.

359
00:24:56,913 --> 00:25:00,625
He'd mimic how I scolded him,
threatening him with a flipflop.

360
00:25:00,625 --> 00:25:05,463
Ever since he was a child,
he built this character.

361
00:25:06,088 --> 00:25:12,053
In the building where I used to live,
he and Juliana had a friend, Rafael.

362
00:25:12,053 --> 00:25:16,182
Rafael was Hermínia's son,
who lived in the building.

363
00:25:16,182 --> 00:25:19,727
Sometimes I wanted to call him
and I yelled,

364
00:25:19,727 --> 00:25:24,023
"Hermínia, are Paulo Gustavo
and Juliana there?"

365
00:25:24,023 --> 00:25:28,861
So, he thought of "Hermínia"
when he was writing the play,

366
00:25:28,861 --> 00:25:31,906
because he thought it sounded good.

367
00:25:31,906 --> 00:25:35,826
Pose for the pictures!

368
00:25:35,826 --> 00:25:39,080
You're so annoying.
Who do you think you are?

369
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:40,414
- A star.
- Beyoncé?

370
00:25:40,414 --> 00:25:42,208
- Beyoncé.
- Beyoncé, my ass.

371
00:25:42,208 --> 00:25:44,418
Pose for the pictures, smile!

372
00:25:44,418 --> 00:25:46,587
Okay. Who's there? How many people?

373
00:25:46,587 --> 00:25:48,547
There are nine people.

374
00:25:48,547 --> 00:25:51,425
- Oh, my God!
- They all lived across from Grandma's.

375
00:25:51,550 --> 00:25:53,636
- They grew up with me.
- I don't want to.

376
00:25:53,636 --> 00:25:56,097
- But you will.
- Are they here?

377
00:25:56,097 --> 00:25:58,349
- They are here.
- Are they outside?

378
00:25:58,349 --> 00:26:01,727
They're coming. You better smile.

379
00:26:03,354 --> 00:26:04,563
That's so annoying.

380
00:26:04,563 --> 00:26:08,401
Every town has a boring old lady
wanting to hug you and say,

381
00:26:08,401 --> 00:26:10,653
"Hi, I grew up with your mom!"

382
00:26:10,653 --> 00:26:14,282
Go! Get her out of here, guys,
she's losing it.

383
00:26:14,282 --> 00:26:17,952
I am losing it.
I'll lose it on your face!

384
00:26:18,577 --> 00:26:20,746
I can't believe it!

385
00:26:21,372 --> 00:26:24,083
Everybody's here. Oh, guys!

386
00:26:24,083 --> 00:26:27,920
Valde! These girls here
lived across the street.

387
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,256
I was born and raised with them.

388
00:26:30,256 --> 00:26:34,218
- I can't cry.
- No, don't cry.

389
00:26:34,218 --> 00:26:38,347
Paulo Gustavo, we lived across the street,
at Grandma's house.

390
00:26:38,347 --> 00:26:42,435
Grandma did those crazy stuff,
talk nonsense.

391
00:26:46,856 --> 00:26:49,567
Welcome the herd, darling.
Hi, honey, keep going.

392
00:26:49,567 --> 00:26:50,943
"MY MOM IS A CHARACTER 3"

393
00:26:50,943 --> 00:26:55,406
Give her the diapers and leave,
don't ask questions.

394
00:26:55,406 --> 00:26:56,324
Are you crazy?

395
00:26:56,324 --> 00:26:59,535
They're friends.
I invited them to Marcelina's baby shower.

396
00:26:59,535 --> 00:27:02,246
- How do you know them?
- Old folks are everywhere.

397
00:27:02,246 --> 00:27:04,623
An old person walks by, you say hi,

398
00:27:04,623 --> 00:27:07,001
wave at them, they wave back,
they're bored,

399
00:27:07,001 --> 00:27:09,045
- maybe you have a mutual friend.
- Okay.

400
00:27:09,045 --> 00:27:12,923
- But that's a gigantic group.
- No, they die and the group is renewed.

401
00:27:12,923 --> 00:27:16,093
Tomorrow there'll be a new group.
We're always recruiting.

402
00:27:16,093 --> 00:27:19,263
Listen, I don't want all these people
at my wedding.

403
00:27:19,263 --> 00:27:20,848
Maybe I won't go to it.

404
00:27:20,848 --> 00:27:25,102
People think only Mom is funny,
but the whole family is like that.

405
00:27:25,102 --> 00:27:28,647
She's always been
a great inspiration for my brother,

406
00:27:28,647 --> 00:27:32,568
but my dad was also an inspiration
for him. My dad...

407
00:27:32,568 --> 00:27:36,238
Whenever my dad is in a group,
he makes everyone laugh.

408
00:27:38,866 --> 00:27:43,913
Close to the premiere, I told my dad,
"Dad, I need your help with money."

409
00:27:44,705 --> 00:27:49,001
I remember my father saying,
"Son, I have an S-10

410
00:27:49,001 --> 00:27:51,545
"that I use to carry parts for work."

411
00:27:51,545 --> 00:27:55,466
He transported parts between companies.
He worked as a carrier.

412
00:27:56,675 --> 00:28:01,055
Then he said, "Maybe I could sell my S-10
and buy a Fiorino."

413
00:28:01,055 --> 00:28:03,641
I don't remember the car's name.

414
00:28:03,641 --> 00:28:04,934
"Something smaller,

415
00:28:05,684 --> 00:28:10,398
"a small pickup truck, and give you
the difference." Poor thing.

416
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,319
He said, "Is it a nice play?
I'll sell my car and give you the money."

417
00:28:15,319 --> 00:28:20,533
It took me six checks for me to buy
the material for the stage scenery

418
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:22,618
and the costumes.

419
00:28:23,577 --> 00:28:26,956
And I did it.
And that's become My Mom Is a Character,

420
00:28:26,956 --> 00:28:29,667
which was a success all over Brazil.

421
00:28:29,667 --> 00:28:34,004
In tours, theaters,
then it became a movie, a TV show.

422
00:28:34,004 --> 00:28:37,049
It's Mrs. Hermínia, right?
I don't need to explain.

423
00:28:37,049 --> 00:28:41,095
It was nice, because he started
making money with the play.

424
00:28:41,095 --> 00:28:42,513
PAULO GUSTAVO'S FATHER

425
00:28:42,513 --> 00:28:47,560
It worked out,
and he gifted me a black Saveiro.

426
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,563
With a big red bow on it.

427
00:28:50,563 --> 00:28:53,649
He showed up and said,
"Dad, come here." I said, "What?"

428
00:28:53,774 --> 00:28:57,278
"Come here, I wanna show you something."
When I opened the door,

429
00:28:57,278 --> 00:29:00,614
there was a beautiful black Saveiro

430
00:29:00,614 --> 00:29:04,076
with a big red bow on top of it.

431
00:29:04,076 --> 00:29:07,997
You know,
when My Mom Is a Character began...

432
00:29:07,997 --> 00:29:09,790
LIVESTREAM WITH MÔNICA MARTELLI

433
00:29:09,790 --> 00:29:11,000
I did...

434
00:29:11,625 --> 00:29:14,920
I did the play and was invited
to perform at a barbecue.

435
00:29:15,713 --> 00:29:20,009
- Honey, I was starting my career.
- I know, honey.

436
00:29:20,009 --> 00:29:22,553
I was invited to perform at a barbecue.

437
00:29:22,553 --> 00:29:26,265
There wasn't anything
to act as a stage, okay?

438
00:29:26,891 --> 00:29:29,894
I kept saying, "Marcelina!" Like that.

439
00:29:29,894 --> 00:29:31,687
Nobody looked at me.

440
00:29:31,687 --> 00:29:33,564
They just ran around holding food.

441
00:29:33,564 --> 00:29:36,609
Kids soaking wet running around
holding chicken thighs.

442
00:29:36,609 --> 00:29:38,777
And I was yelling, "Marcelina!"

443
00:29:38,777 --> 00:29:41,113
Whoever saw me not knowing I was an actor,

444
00:29:41,113 --> 00:29:43,991
must've thought I was
an annoying friend of the guy.

445
00:29:47,119 --> 00:29:47,995
ACTRESS

446
00:29:47,995 --> 00:29:50,289
He loved Cócegas.
He'd watch Cócegas a lot.

447
00:29:50,289 --> 00:29:53,876
He wanted to do things
like me and Lolô did to make it work out.

448
00:29:53,876 --> 00:29:56,837
We began in Cândido Mendes,
a tiny theater.

449
00:29:56,837 --> 00:29:58,589
Our premiere was on May 4th.

450
00:29:59,340 --> 00:30:01,008
He waited

451
00:30:01,008 --> 00:30:05,638
so his premiere
could be on May 4th in Cândido Mendes.

452
00:30:05,638 --> 00:30:10,017
That play was sold out
since the beginning.

453
00:30:10,142 --> 00:30:13,687
It's something I've never seen.
It sounds absurd.

454
00:30:13,687 --> 00:30:18,734
It's like a fairytale.
Things just happened.

455
00:30:18,734 --> 00:30:20,653
Newspapers' front pages,

456
00:30:20,653 --> 00:30:23,364
more and more people
talking about it, watching,

457
00:30:23,364 --> 00:30:25,407
he was nominated for the Shell Awards.

458
00:30:25,407 --> 00:30:28,869
It sold out. It was wild.
He filled gymnasiums.

459
00:30:28,869 --> 00:30:32,831
More than 5,000 people.
He toured all over Brazil.

460
00:30:32,831 --> 00:30:36,252
Paulo knew it. He had no doubts,

461
00:30:36,252 --> 00:30:40,923
and I also had no doubts that that play
could become a great movie.

462
00:30:40,923 --> 00:30:43,926
The process of making the movie
was very difficult...

463
00:30:43,926 --> 00:30:45,177
MOVIE PRODUCER

464
00:30:45,177 --> 00:30:47,012
...because of all the bullying.

465
00:30:47,012 --> 00:30:51,308
"Oh, it's a man dressed as a woman.
I've never seen this guy, is he on TV?"

466
00:30:51,308 --> 00:30:53,561
There was always, "Never seen him on TV."

467
00:30:53,561 --> 00:30:58,023
The first private screening was traumatic,

468
00:30:58,023 --> 00:30:59,775
because there was a silence.

469
00:30:59,775 --> 00:31:03,487
And after that awkward silence,

470
00:31:03,487 --> 00:31:08,284
Ribeiro, who is an important
and experienced film exhibitor,

471
00:31:08,284 --> 00:31:11,203
pushed me aside and said,

472
00:31:11,203 --> 00:31:15,416
"A new national cinema has just been born.

473
00:31:15,541 --> 00:31:19,128
"A new kind of comedy.
Everyone will try to copy this."

474
00:31:19,628 --> 00:31:20,713
4 MILLION, MARCELINA!

475
00:31:20,713 --> 00:31:24,508
PAULO GUSTAVO IS A CASE OF STUDY
7 MILLION PEOPLE HAVE WATCHED

476
00:31:24,508 --> 00:31:25,718
SALVATION IN 2020

477
00:31:25,718 --> 00:31:28,304
Since then, everything changed.

478
00:31:28,304 --> 00:31:30,472
It's one thing to do a successful movie,

479
00:31:30,472 --> 00:31:34,685
but it's different to be more successful
in every movie you do.

480
00:31:34,685 --> 00:31:37,688
That made us very proud, so...

481
00:31:37,688 --> 00:31:40,357
The most wonderful thing to me

482
00:31:40,357 --> 00:31:44,361
is that we announced the movies
and when I said it was by Paulo Gustavo,

483
00:31:44,361 --> 00:31:47,823
the Hollywood competition
stepped aside. The date was ours.

484
00:31:48,490 --> 00:31:53,537
There was Disney and Marvel
with their superheroes and all,

485
00:31:53,537 --> 00:31:57,207
but Paulo Gustavo
was the great Brazilian superhero.

486
00:31:57,207 --> 00:31:58,208
That's the truth.

487
00:31:58,208 --> 00:31:59,793
There was no Globo, nothing.

488
00:31:59,793 --> 00:32:00,878
JOURNALIST

489
00:32:00,878 --> 00:32:04,840
it was the greatest box office
in the history of Brazilian cinema.

490
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:10,095
Nobody has ever attracted
so many people. It's very rare.

491
00:32:10,095 --> 00:32:14,099
To be the conduit for one's own success,

492
00:32:14,099 --> 00:32:17,478
and share this success
with others afterwards.

493
00:32:17,478 --> 00:32:19,897
Who did Paulo look at?

494
00:32:19,897 --> 00:32:24,818
He looked at himself, at his mother,
at his roots, at his home.

495
00:32:24,818 --> 00:32:29,031
By talking about a very intimate thing,
he connected with the whole world.

496
00:32:29,740 --> 00:32:33,410
Who would've thought
that a housewife with hair curlers

497
00:32:33,410 --> 00:32:36,664
talking about her kids
would be so revolutionary?

498
00:32:36,664 --> 00:32:40,209
In my opinion, what's brilliant
about Mrs. Hermínia

499
00:32:40,209 --> 00:32:42,670
is that she's an ordinary woman,

500
00:32:43,921 --> 00:32:46,256
like everyone's seen at home,

501
00:32:46,256 --> 00:32:50,010
but she uses her voice
to talk about things that aren't ordinary.

502
00:32:50,844 --> 00:32:52,596
- Mom?
- What?

503
00:32:52,596 --> 00:32:55,057
- Where are my shirts?
- I put them away.

504
00:32:55,057 --> 00:32:56,266
- Where?
- The trash can.

505
00:32:56,266 --> 00:32:57,267
PAULO'S MANAGER

506
00:32:57,267 --> 00:32:59,728
We talked about Hermínia
in the third person.

507
00:32:59,728 --> 00:33:05,025
"Can Hermínia do this thing?
Is Hermínia coming? Hermínia or Paulo?"

508
00:33:05,025 --> 00:33:09,279
They were two completely
different personalities.

509
00:33:09,405 --> 00:33:11,573
When we did a commercial,

510
00:33:11,573 --> 00:33:14,243
Hermínia costed more,
depending on the product.

511
00:33:16,829 --> 00:33:18,664
Look at Susana coming after me.

512
00:33:19,289 --> 00:33:21,208
Look, she has a notebook

513
00:33:21,208 --> 00:33:23,794
to write My Mom Is a Character.
Show it there.

514
00:33:23,794 --> 00:33:24,837
You'll drop it.

515
00:33:24,837 --> 00:33:29,717
Look at this. She's desperate.
My Mom Is a Character 3.

516
00:33:29,717 --> 00:33:32,678
She's been chasing me all day
to write this.

517
00:33:32,803 --> 00:33:36,056
If I sing one song
and leave for a minute, she's like...

518
00:33:36,849 --> 00:33:40,144
"On page seven, there's a scene
that needs improvement."

519
00:33:41,061 --> 00:33:44,898
Hey, you forgot "my mom is a character"
inside the van.

520
00:33:44,898 --> 00:33:45,899
Stay there!

521
00:33:45,899 --> 00:33:49,862
I'm not staying.
I'll go with Cabral, he's wonderful.

522
00:33:55,075 --> 00:33:57,161
- Come in!
- May I come in?

523
00:33:57,161 --> 00:34:00,414
They want to see your dressing room.
See what it's like.

524
00:34:00,414 --> 00:34:04,501
It's wonderful.
My dressing room is like this.

525
00:34:04,501 --> 00:34:06,712
Do you want to know my requirements?

526
00:34:06,712 --> 00:34:09,214
- Yes.
- I always demand this water.

527
00:34:09,923 --> 00:34:13,594
One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine. I pee a lot,

528
00:34:13,594 --> 00:34:16,138
so I ask for ten. I already had one.

529
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:17,598
Okay?

530
00:34:17,598 --> 00:34:21,977
I also ask for one, two, three,
four chairs. Why?

531
00:34:22,519 --> 00:34:26,064
Because artists are like this.
For example, I'm sitting here.

532
00:34:26,940 --> 00:34:29,526
Then I have a diva moment.

533
00:34:29,526 --> 00:34:32,821
I'm famous. Then I sit here, you know?

534
00:34:33,739 --> 00:34:37,159
Then I decide to move to this one.

535
00:34:37,159 --> 00:34:41,079
Sometimes I feel like sitting
towards the edge. Artists are crazy.

536
00:34:41,747 --> 00:34:45,501
I ask for coconuts. I never drink them,
because I can't open them.

537
00:34:45,501 --> 00:34:47,085
But they leave them here.

538
00:34:47,085 --> 00:34:51,173
We can open them
if we throw them on the floor like this.

539
00:34:51,173 --> 00:34:55,344
Once they're open, I drink them.
But I'm lazy today.

540
00:34:56,428 --> 00:35:00,390
I always ask them to leave these here,
because we always need them.

541
00:35:00,390 --> 00:35:02,935
I ask them just to throw a fit.

542
00:35:02,935 --> 00:35:06,146
I always ask for a clothes hanger.

543
00:35:06,146 --> 00:35:10,567
I always ask for some unfilled holes
on the walls.

544
00:35:11,610 --> 00:35:14,947
From constructions. I say, "I want holes."

545
00:35:14,947 --> 00:35:17,574
So they make them. I throw a fit.

546
00:35:17,574 --> 00:35:21,203
I flip out, break everything.
I say I want two holes and they...

547
00:35:21,203 --> 00:35:24,164
They do everything I ask.

548
00:35:24,164 --> 00:35:27,876
In the bathroom, I always ask
for at least one toilet. One.

549
00:35:27,876 --> 00:35:31,839
There's no need for more.
I'm humble about that. Just one toilet.

550
00:35:32,381 --> 00:35:36,176
I just noticed there's no rug.
Oh, my God! I can't believe it!

551
00:35:36,176 --> 00:35:41,515
Guys, I asked for a rug!
No one's brought me a rug!

552
00:35:41,515 --> 00:35:46,436
You have to treat them this way.
Otherwise, no one thinks you're a star.

553
00:35:46,436 --> 00:35:48,480
Where's my rug?

554
00:35:49,773 --> 00:35:52,985
They'll come with the rug
in a few minutes, you'll see.

555
00:35:55,737 --> 00:35:58,198
Look, everyone's laughing.

556
00:35:58,198 --> 00:35:59,992
See how I make people laugh?

557
00:35:59,992 --> 00:36:03,287
I make everyone laugh here.
Tickets are 80 reais each.

558
00:36:03,287 --> 00:36:06,540
I can make it 40 for you.

559
00:36:06,540 --> 00:36:09,960
Are you paying? No? There's no show, then.

560
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,713
This is what I do for a living.
Are you crazy?

561
00:36:12,713 --> 00:36:15,757
My ex. But I kiss him.

562
00:36:15,757 --> 00:36:20,137
I'm introducing everyone.

563
00:36:20,929 --> 00:36:23,557
Guys, I yelled, "Give me my rug!"

564
00:36:23,557 --> 00:36:26,435
Someone in the audience
might say I'm crazy.

565
00:36:26,435 --> 00:36:27,603
Nobody's come in yet.

566
00:36:27,603 --> 00:36:32,232
No? Okay, then. Because someone
once made a false accusation...

567
00:36:32,774 --> 00:36:35,444
They made a false accusation
on the internet

568
00:36:35,444 --> 00:36:39,781
saying I mistreated my fans,
argued with them.

569
00:36:39,781 --> 00:36:43,160
They said I was cocky and arrogant.
Then a girl said,

570
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,704
"He once elbowed me
at the Fortaleza airport."

571
00:36:48,248 --> 00:36:51,001
"I got elbowed by him
at Fortaleza Airport.

572
00:36:51,126 --> 00:36:54,087
"He came in and did this
to me and walked away."

573
00:36:54,087 --> 00:36:56,715
Can you picture me hitting anyone?

574
00:37:02,721 --> 00:37:06,642
I had three... two bottles of wine
last night and lost my voice today.

575
00:37:07,184 --> 00:37:09,436
How did Amy Winehouse sing, guys?

576
00:37:10,228 --> 00:37:14,983
I wonder. Amy Winehouse drank a lot,
and was an amazing singer.

577
00:37:15,525 --> 00:37:18,820
I drank my ass off last night
and today I can't even sing

578
00:37:19,488 --> 00:37:20,864
"Happy Birthday to You."

579
00:37:20,864 --> 00:37:22,699
I threw a stick at a cat...

580
00:37:22,699 --> 00:37:26,119
We can't sing this anymore.
Throw a stick? To kill it?

581
00:37:29,164 --> 00:37:30,958
How is the rush, Paulo?

582
00:37:30,958 --> 00:37:35,879
Small talk, really?
"How is the rush, Paulo?" Great.

583
00:37:35,879 --> 00:37:38,799
- Just hanging out.
- Yeah, I'm just hanging out.

584
00:37:38,799 --> 00:37:41,593
Shot a commercial for Motorola
in São Paulo all day.

585
00:37:41,593 --> 00:37:44,805
Now I'm going to Rio
to go to Juiz de Fora by car.

586
00:37:44,805 --> 00:37:49,101
"How is the rush, Paulo?"
What a stupid question.

587
00:37:49,893 --> 00:37:53,605
Carolina, close the... Where's the...
Can't we pull the glass up?

588
00:37:53,605 --> 00:37:56,608
You're the one who wanted this!

589
00:37:56,608 --> 00:37:58,860
Don't we have a partition in my car?

590
00:37:58,860 --> 00:38:01,863
I'm all ugly.
I don't have my makeup on...

591
00:38:01,863 --> 00:38:03,490
I don't consent. I don't.

592
00:38:03,490 --> 00:38:04,950
PAULO'S PERSONAL ASSISTANT

593
00:38:04,950 --> 00:38:07,202
- Being filmed?
- Yeah. I'll sue you.

594
00:38:07,202 --> 00:38:10,205
Every artist's car
should have a partition!

595
00:38:10,205 --> 00:38:13,583
Beyoncé just has to press a button
to avoid the cameras.

596
00:38:14,334 --> 00:38:15,877
She doesn't stare at it.

597
00:38:15,877 --> 00:38:18,672
Mine doesn't have it. I'm pressing it.

598
00:38:18,672 --> 00:38:21,299
There's not a single glass to lock us up.

599
00:38:23,176 --> 00:38:27,180
Working with Paulo Gustavo was great,
because he was very generous.

600
00:38:27,180 --> 00:38:30,600
All of his friends must have
the same impression.

601
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:32,310
He couldn't shine by himself.

602
00:38:32,310 --> 00:38:35,564
He would be very upset if a script
had jokes just for him.

603
00:38:35,564 --> 00:38:36,732
ACTOR

604
00:38:36,732 --> 00:38:39,693
He stopped.
He'd say, "Your part is bad.

605
00:38:39,693 --> 00:38:43,071
"His part was not well-written."
He didn't like to be favored.

606
00:38:43,071 --> 00:38:46,575
He was terrified of that.
So we'd stop, change everything,

607
00:38:46,575 --> 00:38:50,162
he'd write new lines for you,
so everyone could feel good.

608
00:38:50,162 --> 00:38:52,664
Then we could start.
That's how he was on set.

609
00:38:52,664 --> 00:38:53,623
ACTRESS

610
00:38:53,623 --> 00:38:58,378
What usually happens is that
when an artist gains notoriety,

611
00:38:58,378 --> 00:39:03,884
leaving their bubble
and becoming really famous,

612
00:39:03,884 --> 00:39:07,512
they usually change a little.

613
00:39:07,512 --> 00:39:11,099
Paulo remained the same Paulo.

614
00:39:11,099 --> 00:39:15,562
Paulo still got nervous during interviews.
Still got all sweaty.

615
00:39:15,562 --> 00:39:21,485
His success
and achievements didn't change him.

616
00:39:21,485 --> 00:39:26,990
He was so friendly, generous and caring.

617
00:39:26,990 --> 00:39:31,703
He grew and became the greatest icon
of comedy we've ever seen.

618
00:39:31,703 --> 00:39:32,829
MANAGER

619
00:39:32,829 --> 00:39:37,250
He brought joy to people's houses.
Everyone liked him.

620
00:39:37,250 --> 00:39:39,044
His plays, his movies.

621
00:39:39,878 --> 00:39:45,050
But he was always generous when it came
to supporting people in his life.

622
00:39:45,050 --> 00:39:46,802
He never let anyone down.

623
00:39:47,427 --> 00:39:50,013
I remember that, when I started singing,

624
00:39:50,013 --> 00:39:53,016
I was talking to a friend
and she said to me...

625
00:39:53,141 --> 00:39:54,184
SINGER

626
00:39:54,184 --> 00:39:57,437
"...Girl, you'll be friends
with Paulo Gustavo in no time."

627
00:39:57,437 --> 00:39:58,855
It's really something.

628
00:39:58,855 --> 00:40:03,485
If you're into TV and entertainment,
Paulo was always the best.

629
00:40:04,152 --> 00:40:08,073
So, Paulo once posted a video,

630
00:40:08,073 --> 00:40:12,828
and I remember checking my Instagram
followers, because it would go up.

631
00:40:13,578 --> 00:40:17,290
I had 8,000 followers,
and I already thought it was a lot.

632
00:40:17,290 --> 00:40:19,960
The next day, at 10:00 a.m.,

633
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:23,839
I woke up excited
because of what happened the day before.

634
00:40:24,506 --> 00:40:26,842
I checked, and I had 80,000 followers.

635
00:40:26,967 --> 00:40:30,428
That's something
that would take me forever to achieve.

636
00:40:30,428 --> 00:40:32,764
Then he invited me to sing at his party.

637
00:40:34,015 --> 00:40:38,311
He provided me a work experience
I never had in my life.

638
00:40:39,020 --> 00:40:42,816
I was really nervous. There were
a lot of people I admired.

639
00:40:42,816 --> 00:40:45,861
As if that wasn't enough,
at the end of the party,

640
00:40:45,861 --> 00:40:50,031
he pulled me aside and said,
"Preta, follow Iza, she's a great singer."

641
00:40:50,031 --> 00:40:54,578
He took me by the hand
and introduced me to a lot of people.

642
00:40:55,412 --> 00:40:58,874
He made a point
of taking care of me, you know?

643
00:41:01,751 --> 00:41:04,296
And many times this care was

644
00:41:04,921 --> 00:41:09,801
what kept my spirits up,
because if someone so amazing

645
00:41:10,343 --> 00:41:13,555
like Paulo Gustavo liked my work,
I was doing it right.

646
00:41:13,555 --> 00:41:16,892
That was what I felt.

647
00:41:18,435 --> 00:41:20,562
We're doing a rehearsal.

648
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:23,356
Iza.

649
00:41:53,637 --> 00:41:55,013
SHOW'S BANDLEADER

650
00:41:59,100 --> 00:42:00,727
- It's wrong.
- It's right.

651
00:42:02,145 --> 00:42:03,605
You've got it right, Paulo.

652
00:42:03,605 --> 00:42:06,566
- Then I'm doing the show. Okay?
- Go ahead.

653
00:42:06,566 --> 00:42:09,903
Then I'll get on stage. See you there.

654
00:42:11,071 --> 00:42:13,907
MAY, 2019

655
00:42:43,687 --> 00:42:44,813
Great!

656
00:42:46,314 --> 00:42:48,233
Is that for me? Give it to me.

657
00:42:48,233 --> 00:42:50,652
Thanks, darling. What is this?

658
00:42:51,319 --> 00:42:55,699
Perfume. Okay. You made it?
You're amazing!

659
00:42:55,699 --> 00:42:59,828
It smells great.
I'm keeping it. I'll wear it.

660
00:42:59,828 --> 00:43:04,582
Thank you. Do you mix and make it?
You know what's in here, right?

661
00:43:04,582 --> 00:43:07,335
I'm not going to be dead tomorrow, right?

662
00:43:08,253 --> 00:43:10,088
Thanks for the poster.

663
00:43:10,088 --> 00:43:11,881
Thank you, Sofia. Thank you.

664
00:43:11,881 --> 00:43:15,343
But this is not a poster, okay?
You did this in a hurry.

665
00:43:15,343 --> 00:43:21,182
Posters are usually bigger than this.
They're usually this big.

666
00:43:21,182 --> 00:43:23,935
- I'm keeping it.
- I'll hang it in his living room.

667
00:43:23,935 --> 00:43:28,481
I'm keeping it. I'll ask Xuxa
where she's kept hers for all these years.

668
00:43:29,316 --> 00:43:30,483
I'll put it...

669
00:43:31,192 --> 00:43:35,905
I'm kidding, honey. I'll keep it for sure.
I'm kidding, I'll keep it.

670
00:43:35,905 --> 00:43:37,782
Throw it away for me, darling.

671
00:43:38,783 --> 00:43:41,161
- Does anyone have a song request?
- No!

672
00:43:42,037 --> 00:43:46,541
My mom's traumatized with song requests
because she used to sing at bars...

673
00:43:46,541 --> 00:43:47,625
Yes.

674
00:43:51,838 --> 00:43:53,131
What song?

675
00:43:54,716 --> 00:43:59,554
- Ivete! Listen...
- Ivete? Are you kidding me?

676
00:43:59,554 --> 00:44:02,557
- Mom, look...
- Do you think I can do this?

677
00:44:02,557 --> 00:44:06,936
Honey, the stage is not made of concrete,
don't hop around.

678
00:44:06,936 --> 00:44:10,023
- Don't you diss me!
- Look, the stage is shaking.

679
00:44:10,023 --> 00:44:13,735
People always asked
my mom to sing Ivete's songs.

680
00:44:13,735 --> 00:44:18,740
She'd say, "I can't." My mom loves Ivete,
but she can't sing Ivete's songs.

681
00:44:18,740 --> 00:44:23,036
"I can't sing those songs,
I can't sing songs from Bahia."

682
00:44:23,036 --> 00:44:27,165
And I said, "Mom, sing songs from Bahia,
they're asking.

683
00:44:27,165 --> 00:44:30,001
"It's part of the job."
She said, "I won't sing it!

684
00:44:30,001 --> 00:44:33,421
"I'll sing Ary Barroso, Noel Rosa,
Vinícius de Moraes."

685
00:44:33,421 --> 00:44:36,466
I told her they'd stop booking her gigs.

686
00:44:36,466 --> 00:44:39,219
In the end, that's what they did.

687
00:44:39,219 --> 00:44:44,015
A month later, I went to a party
and she was singing Fafá de Belém.

688
00:44:44,015 --> 00:44:47,560
I swear! She even did a mashup!
She'd sing,

689
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:50,397
Let them know I'm coming home later Olodum...

690
00:44:50,397 --> 00:44:52,148
Don't deny it.
And wrap up with...

691
00:44:52,148 --> 00:44:54,234
Bom, xibom, xibombombom

692
00:44:54,401 --> 00:44:56,194
So ridiculous.

693
00:44:56,194 --> 00:44:59,072
- And your nails?
- I got them done too.

694
00:44:59,072 --> 00:45:01,908
- Did you?
- I added glitter on mine.

695
00:45:01,908 --> 00:45:03,868
I'm a little gayer than you.

696
00:45:03,868 --> 00:45:06,538
I'm a tad bit gayer.

697
00:45:06,538 --> 00:45:09,374
I'm a little more effeminate,
just a little.

698
00:45:09,374 --> 00:45:13,503
- But I'm manlier.
- But you know who you are.

699
00:45:13,503 --> 00:45:16,381
- He's on the fence.
- His nails are undefined.

700
00:45:16,381 --> 00:45:18,758
- Show me your nails.
- They look terrible.

701
00:45:18,758 --> 00:45:21,261
I have to add a base coat.
I removed the wrap.

702
00:45:21,261 --> 00:45:24,514
- Base coat?
- They're bullying him.

703
00:45:24,514 --> 00:45:27,183
- A base coat?
- You get the drift?

704
00:45:27,183 --> 00:45:29,436
- You're asking to be bullied.
- Base coat?

705
00:45:29,436 --> 00:45:33,231
Is it normal for a straight guy
to add base coat?

706
00:45:33,231 --> 00:45:34,524
No, no, no.

707
00:45:34,524 --> 00:45:38,987
Base coat for your nails?
He's got a special manicurist.

708
00:45:38,987 --> 00:45:41,322
Let me ask the minister.

709
00:45:41,990 --> 00:45:46,286
Hello, Madam Minister? Is it normal
to add base coat on your nails?

710
00:45:46,995 --> 00:45:49,914
It's Claudio Costa, a musician,
friend of mine.

711
00:45:49,914 --> 00:45:52,250
He's straight, or that's what he says,

712
00:45:52,250 --> 00:45:57,130
but he adds base coat on his nails.
What do you think?

713
00:45:58,882 --> 00:46:02,135
You know this will be a joke
on his show, right?

714
00:46:02,135 --> 00:46:04,179
- He'll do it.
- Hit the notes, queen.

715
00:46:07,098 --> 00:46:11,227
Then, no one hits the notes,
and I'll say none of them are queens.

716
00:46:11,227 --> 00:46:13,438
- Nice, Déa.
- Then you'll say...

717
00:46:13,438 --> 00:46:16,608
- Have you fucked him?
- No, don't say that.

718
00:46:16,733 --> 00:46:20,153
You'll say the whole band are queens.

719
00:46:20,153 --> 00:46:24,741
- Have you banged any of them?
- Say that and I'll slap you in the face.

720
00:46:24,741 --> 00:46:28,411
Then you'll ask me,

721
00:46:28,411 --> 00:46:30,914
-"How do you know that?"
- How do you know?

722
00:46:30,914 --> 00:46:33,500
I'll say I've kissed them all.

723
00:46:33,500 --> 00:46:37,712
- Even him, the chubby one?
- Not him, due to logistical problems.

724
00:46:38,713 --> 00:46:43,009
But he promised me
he's getting a weight loss surgery.

725
00:46:46,429 --> 00:46:49,140
You've turned my own joke against me!

726
00:46:50,725 --> 00:46:53,978
- None of them are queens, Paulo Gustavo.
- How do you know?

727
00:46:53,978 --> 00:46:56,147
I've kissed them all.

728
00:46:57,815 --> 00:47:00,527
- Can't a mom do it?
- Of course.

729
00:47:00,527 --> 00:47:03,196
- Okay.
- But you with Marcelo Linhares?

730
00:47:03,196 --> 00:47:06,908
Marcelo is fat, and so am I.

731
00:47:07,784 --> 00:47:10,703
So, there's a logistical problem.

732
00:47:10,703 --> 00:47:14,082
But he promised me
he's getting a weight loss surgery.

733
00:47:14,082 --> 00:47:17,919
She's decided you're the one
who needs to lose weight, not her.

734
00:47:17,919 --> 00:47:21,673
- You're not fat, you're "chubbylicious."
- I'm "crappylicious."

735
00:47:22,298 --> 00:47:25,552
I'm done!
I have arthritis, arthrosis, rheumatism,

736
00:47:25,552 --> 00:47:28,555
- high blood pressure.
- When she gets blood tests done,

737
00:47:28,555 --> 00:47:32,684
the lab doesn't send the results,
they send flowers and say they're sorry.

738
00:47:32,684 --> 00:47:34,143
"Enjoy your life."

739
00:47:35,728 --> 00:47:39,691
I am enjoying it!
I'm here, and it's beautiful.

740
00:47:39,691 --> 00:47:41,109
I enjoy my life.

741
00:47:45,071 --> 00:47:47,282
- Are you excited, Déa?
- Definitely!

742
00:47:48,157 --> 00:47:52,120
I like it. It's great to be on stage
with Paulo Gustavo.

743
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:55,790
People here are so kind to me.

744
00:47:55,790 --> 00:47:59,627
They are like,
"Look, it's Mrs. Déa!" You know?

745
00:47:59,627 --> 00:48:02,714
They recognize me
as Mrs. Hermínia, and I like it.

746
00:48:02,714 --> 00:48:04,966
Here, get yourself a treat.

747
00:48:04,966 --> 00:48:08,761
I asked her to say good things
about the show and the tour.

748
00:48:08,886 --> 00:48:12,223
- Go get yourself a skirt, or something.
- I'll get his card...

749
00:48:12,223 --> 00:48:15,476
I already got something. Look.

750
00:48:15,476 --> 00:48:19,897
He keeps mocking me,
so I got myself a pair of sneakers.

751
00:48:20,565 --> 00:48:25,028
All colorful. I've also got
this cape thing. These things...

752
00:48:25,028 --> 00:48:28,615
A cape thing, a sneaker thing, a thing...

753
00:48:28,615 --> 00:48:31,826
All things, nothing has a name.
She doesn't remember names.

754
00:48:35,371 --> 00:48:36,706
JUNE, 2019

755
00:48:48,801 --> 00:48:52,055
I got all dressed up
for São José do Rio Preto. Look.

756
00:48:53,514 --> 00:48:56,851
I'll start off on the right foot
in São José do Rio Preto.

757
00:48:57,727 --> 00:48:59,270
Want to ride shotgun?

758
00:49:02,231 --> 00:49:05,485
Bring something to help get my mom up.

759
00:49:10,448 --> 00:49:12,492
Stop, Paulo Gustavo!

760
00:49:16,913 --> 00:49:21,876
"Good afternoon, Paulo. You're performing
in São José do Rio Preto today.

761
00:49:21,876 --> 00:49:25,713
"I'd like to know if I could
propose to my girlfriend on stage.

762
00:49:25,713 --> 00:49:27,465
"I'll have the rings with me.

763
00:49:27,465 --> 00:49:30,593
"Best regards,
Alexandre Augusto Costa." He can!

764
00:49:30,593 --> 00:49:34,847
- Let him know! Get in touch with him.
- Maybe it's a surprise for her!

765
00:49:34,847 --> 00:49:38,226
No, they've emailed Dando,
from Way Model.

766
00:49:38,226 --> 00:49:41,562
Let him know I'm up for it.
I'll let him up on stage.

767
00:49:41,562 --> 00:49:45,692
- Yeah, email her.
- Let's bring luck to this marriage, guys.

768
00:49:45,692 --> 00:49:49,821
- He's so delusional. He thinks it'll work.
- Tell Dando to email me.

769
00:49:50,488 --> 00:49:52,782
The ideal would be
to get his phone number.

770
00:49:52,782 --> 00:49:56,661
- Would be quicker than e-mail.
- I'm kidding. I'm sure it'll work out.

771
00:49:56,661 --> 00:50:01,124
Marriage is tough, but we have to believe,
or else we'll never do it, right?

772
00:50:01,124 --> 00:50:03,459
I'll be with Thales
for the rest of my life.

773
00:50:03,459 --> 00:50:06,671
That's how I felt about your dad.
He won't put up with you.

774
00:50:06,671 --> 00:50:09,757
Or else I wouldn't be with him.
Of course he will.

775
00:50:09,757 --> 00:50:13,010
If Thales breaks up with me,
he won't find anyone like me.

776
00:50:13,010 --> 00:50:16,639
In my good or bad aspects.
My bad aspects are also good.

777
00:50:17,765 --> 00:50:21,644
And my good aspects are bad, you know?

778
00:50:21,644 --> 00:50:25,523
I'd like to propose
to my girlfriend, Isabela.

779
00:50:25,523 --> 00:50:30,403
Oh, my God! Where is she?

780
00:50:31,028 --> 00:50:33,030
Come here, Isabela!

781
00:50:36,868 --> 00:50:39,912
We wish you the best of luck.

782
00:50:39,912 --> 00:50:42,123
Of course, be our guests.

783
00:50:47,795 --> 00:50:49,547
Will you marry me?

784
00:50:49,547 --> 00:50:51,924
- If she doesn't, I will.
- Yes!

785
00:50:51,924 --> 00:50:54,302
Yeah!

786
00:50:55,762 --> 00:50:58,264
Let's try it. I don't know the words.

787
00:50:58,264 --> 00:51:00,558
Paulo Gustavo, don't mess it up.

788
00:51:39,722 --> 00:51:44,268
I won't forgive you. When Luciana
came back, I proposed to your son for her.

789
00:51:44,268 --> 00:51:47,772
- You told me you couldn't.
- I can't promise you my son!

790
00:51:47,772 --> 00:51:50,775
We're in the 21st century!

791
00:51:50,775 --> 00:51:53,736
Besides, my son is gay.
How would he marry her?

792
00:51:53,736 --> 00:51:56,989
But I proposed. They would get along.

793
00:51:56,989 --> 00:52:00,326
But I want my son to be happy,
let him choose.

794
00:52:00,326 --> 00:52:03,955
There's a lot of girls into me. A lot.

795
00:52:03,955 --> 00:52:06,374
I travel the country and they follow me.

796
00:52:06,374 --> 00:52:08,251
I tell them, "Let it go, I'm gay.

797
00:52:08,251 --> 00:52:10,837
"Give up. I'm even married now.

798
00:52:10,837 --> 00:52:12,463
"It's really impossible.

799
00:52:12,463 --> 00:52:16,676
"You might have a chance
with some gin and tonic...

800
00:52:16,801 --> 00:52:20,096
"I could be with you.
Me, you, gin and tonic.

801
00:52:20,096 --> 00:52:24,433
"Not anymore. Give up.
I'm happily married now."

802
00:52:24,433 --> 00:52:27,103
- Are you legally married?
- Yes.

803
00:52:27,103 --> 00:52:31,190
We didn't change names
because we'd have to change our documents.

804
00:52:31,190 --> 00:52:36,070
ID, social security, voting cards, passport...

805
00:52:36,070 --> 00:52:39,949
So I said, "Thales, let's keep our names."
But we're legally married.

806
00:52:39,949 --> 00:52:43,202
- Was that a mutual decision?
- Yeah.

807
00:52:43,202 --> 00:52:46,122
It was like,
"Want to get married?" "Sure."

808
00:52:46,122 --> 00:52:50,918
We decided to get married. It was awesome
to get married and talk about it.

809
00:52:50,918 --> 00:52:51,836
PAULO'S HUSBAND

810
00:52:51,836 --> 00:52:54,422
I really wanted to get married
and have kids.

811
00:52:54,422 --> 00:52:57,300
When that was allowed in Brazil,
we decided to do it.

812
00:52:57,300 --> 00:53:00,553
We wanted it.
I wanted to check "married" on forms.

813
00:53:00,553 --> 00:53:05,558
I wanted to say I had a husband.
And our wedding was a dream come true.

814
00:53:05,558 --> 00:53:11,647
Our friends celebrated with us
and also our family. It was great.

815
00:53:11,647 --> 00:53:15,192
It was the most special night of my life.

816
00:53:15,192 --> 00:53:17,361
We were going to be happily ever after.

817
00:53:17,361 --> 00:53:20,698
We were, while it lasted.

818
00:53:22,575 --> 00:53:23,576
Oh, well.

819
00:53:46,933 --> 00:53:50,186
DECEMBER 20TH, 2015

820
00:53:57,151 --> 00:53:59,528
First, he called me and said,
"You know what?

821
00:53:59,528 --> 00:54:02,657
"We'll get married at Parque Lage,
Thales and I...

822
00:54:02,657 --> 00:54:03,616
ACTRESS

823
00:54:03,616 --> 00:54:07,328
"...and I want you as the 'priestess.'"
I was like, "What?"

824
00:54:07,828 --> 00:54:10,998
"The priestess." I said, "Priestess?"
"Yeah, the priest!"

825
00:54:10,998 --> 00:54:15,503
As a kid, I never thought
I'd live something like this.

826
00:54:15,503 --> 00:54:18,172
It's something so amazing.

827
00:54:18,172 --> 00:54:22,218
It fills us with happiness and hope
that we'll live in a world

828
00:54:22,218 --> 00:54:24,595
that's less hateful and has more love.

829
00:54:24,595 --> 00:54:27,431
A world that knows how to do
what they're doing now:

830
00:54:27,431 --> 00:54:29,767
celebrate diversity.

831
00:54:29,767 --> 00:54:31,936
I hope you two are very happy,

832
00:54:31,936 --> 00:54:36,399
for better and for worse,
in sickness and in health,

833
00:54:36,399 --> 00:54:38,901
for richer and for poorer.

834
00:54:38,901 --> 00:54:42,571
I'm sure everyone here hopes for that too.

835
00:54:42,571 --> 00:54:44,907
An applause for the grooms.

836
00:54:51,455 --> 00:54:53,374
I said, "It's not just a gay wedding.

837
00:54:53,374 --> 00:54:58,629
"It's a gay wedding that will change
a lot of people's lives." And it did.

838
00:54:59,213 --> 00:55:02,550
One day my mom asked me,
"Son, are you gay?"

839
00:55:02,550 --> 00:55:04,135
And I said, "I am."

840
00:55:04,927 --> 00:55:09,390
So, my dad heard about that.
And he didn't react as well as my mom.

841
00:55:09,390 --> 00:55:14,103
Sometime later,
he called me to the living room and said,

842
00:55:14,103 --> 00:55:17,440
"Paulo Gustavo,
there's something on TV you might like."

843
00:55:18,107 --> 00:55:22,069
It was Gala Gay, at Scala.
I don't know if you remember.

844
00:55:24,405 --> 00:55:28,242
I said, "Dad, I can watch Gala Gay,

845
00:55:28,242 --> 00:55:31,120
"but I wouldn't like to participate."

846
00:55:32,538 --> 00:55:36,876
A while later, he called me
to the living room again.

847
00:55:36,876 --> 00:55:42,506
"There's something on the news I think
you might like." It was about drag queens.

848
00:55:43,382 --> 00:55:47,887
I said, "Dad, I can watch it with you,
but I'm not a drag queen."

849
00:55:48,012 --> 00:55:49,555
I explained it to him.

850
00:55:49,555 --> 00:55:54,018
But I understood that was his way
of getting closer to me.

851
00:55:54,018 --> 00:55:57,605
At some point in my life, I realized

852
00:55:57,605 --> 00:56:01,150
he wanted much more to befriend me

853
00:56:01,150 --> 00:56:04,612
than to judge me,
or judge whether it was right or wrong.

854
00:56:04,612 --> 00:56:08,407
So, today, the reason

855
00:56:08,407 --> 00:56:11,535
I can be living
the happiest moment of my life,

856
00:56:11,535 --> 00:56:16,791
with the most amazing guy I've found,
I don't even know if I deserve it.

857
00:56:16,791 --> 00:56:20,127
Thales looks like a saint compared to me.

858
00:56:23,881 --> 00:56:27,426
We'll have a lot
of new experiences together.

859
00:56:27,426 --> 00:56:30,930
We'll fight, we'll love, we'll feel.

860
00:56:31,639 --> 00:56:35,142
And we'll take plenty
of important steps in our lives.

861
00:56:35,851 --> 00:56:40,940
We'll have four legs, or six, or eight.

862
00:56:40,940 --> 00:56:44,652
As many as our family comes to have.

863
00:56:44,652 --> 00:56:50,699
That's what I want. A strong,
united family, with plenty of diversity.

864
00:56:50,699 --> 00:56:55,454
I think our differences
will make us add up to one another.

865
00:56:56,288 --> 00:56:59,500
I love you so much.

866
00:56:59,500 --> 00:57:02,128
I'm very happy to be here today

867
00:57:02,128 --> 00:57:05,714
with the person I chose
to spend the rest of my life with.

868
00:57:05,714 --> 00:57:07,883
You make me feel so good.

869
00:57:07,883 --> 00:57:13,013
I want us to always add up,

870
00:57:13,013 --> 00:57:16,725
multiply, and never again get divided.

871
00:58:09,570 --> 00:58:14,366
I don't think I'm an activist,
but I'm a political person.

872
00:58:14,366 --> 00:58:17,661
Because I'm publicly married to a man,

873
00:58:17,661 --> 00:58:20,414
and I inspired other gay couples
to do the same.

874
00:58:20,539 --> 00:58:23,125
Now we want kids, it's a step further.

875
00:58:23,125 --> 00:58:27,671
We're showing that we have
a united family that accepts us.

876
00:58:27,671 --> 00:58:30,591
And we put it on the internet
and spread this message.

877
00:58:30,591 --> 00:58:33,469
We inspire other people,
and that's politics.

878
00:58:33,594 --> 00:58:37,348
That's political. It's doing politics
without being an activist.

879
00:58:37,348 --> 00:58:41,310
He could hack the system
of prejudice and oppression.

880
00:58:41,310 --> 00:58:42,269
SINGER

881
00:58:42,269 --> 00:58:47,733
He did it with humor, kindness,
with his character, his strength.

882
00:58:47,733 --> 00:58:50,152
So many times we were walking,

883
00:58:50,152 --> 00:58:53,197
and someone would come and say,
"Paulo, thank you.

884
00:58:53,197 --> 00:58:57,785
"My son is gay and I didn't accept it,

885
00:58:57,785 --> 00:59:01,580
"but I watched your movie
and it opened my mind."

886
00:59:01,580 --> 00:59:04,792
When Paulo Gustavo and I
did My Mom Is a Character 3,

887
00:59:04,792 --> 00:59:07,628
in our first reunion
to talk about the script,

888
00:59:07,628 --> 00:59:11,799
Paulo said he wanted to talk
about Hermínia's son's gay wedding.

889
00:59:11,799 --> 00:59:14,260
The country was at a complicated moment.

890
00:59:14,260 --> 00:59:16,470
People said he was crazy,

891
00:59:16,470 --> 00:59:19,807
that there was no way
we could approach this topic.

892
00:59:19,807 --> 00:59:23,602
But he was so sure
he could get into people's homes.

893
00:59:23,602 --> 00:59:27,523
He was so sure that if he talked
about this mother's love for her son,

894
00:59:27,523 --> 00:59:30,567
this story would be accepted,
and it really worked.

895
00:59:30,567 --> 00:59:34,446
That was Paulo Gustavo.
He was very funny, but in the end,

896
00:59:34,446 --> 00:59:36,573
what drove his life was love.

897
00:59:36,573 --> 00:59:39,994
Son, what you're doing here
is really beautiful.

898
00:59:39,994 --> 00:59:42,705
You'll inspire a lot of people.

899
00:59:42,705 --> 00:59:46,709
Son, I'm really proud
that you're following a loving road.

900
00:59:46,709 --> 00:59:48,002
Thank you, Mom.

901
00:59:48,794 --> 00:59:51,588
Honey, I'm here in Porto Alegre.

902
00:59:51,588 --> 00:59:53,882
I really miss you.

903
00:59:53,882 --> 00:59:58,429
I saw you this morning,
and I'll see you again on Tuesday,

904
00:59:59,596 --> 01:00:01,432
but I already miss you so much.

905
01:00:02,933 --> 01:00:03,767
How are you?

906
01:00:04,351 --> 01:00:07,896
The food is cold.
You said you'd be here half an hour ago.

907
01:00:08,731 --> 01:00:10,274
Half an hour.

908
01:00:10,274 --> 01:00:14,194
Where is it? That looks delicious.
Did you make it?

909
01:00:14,194 --> 01:00:16,739
Yeah, I heated everything up.

910
01:00:17,448 --> 01:00:19,950
- You just heated it up, Thales?
- Of course.

911
01:00:19,950 --> 01:00:22,411
- What is this?
- There are several dishes.

912
01:00:22,411 --> 01:00:28,500
That's spaghetti with filet mignon
and mushroom. It's delicious.

913
01:00:28,500 --> 01:00:31,545
- What's this? Pumpkin?
- Pumpkin with feta cheese.

914
01:00:31,545 --> 01:00:34,298
- Chicken.
- Shrimp. Chicken.

915
01:00:35,299 --> 01:00:38,469
It's like Thai chicken, right?

916
01:00:38,469 --> 01:00:43,182
- I'll get some salad, first.
- There's some cooked pumpkin salad.

917
01:00:43,182 --> 01:00:46,143
- With eggplant.
- I'll have just a bit of this salad.

918
01:00:46,143 --> 01:00:48,645
- Have some more.
- No, I won't eat salad.

919
01:00:48,645 --> 01:00:50,689
- Have some more.
- Just a little bit.

920
01:00:59,990 --> 01:01:03,202
Xuxa was always like that.
She put on some lip gloss...

921
01:01:12,169 --> 01:01:14,505
I miss everything.

922
01:01:15,130 --> 01:01:17,341
I miss my life with him, it was happier.

923
01:01:17,341 --> 01:01:21,387
I miss hearing him say,
"Thales! Thales!" around the house.

924
01:01:21,387 --> 01:01:22,721
It was all day long.

925
01:01:23,514 --> 01:01:27,017
There are two pimples growing on my chin.

926
01:01:27,017 --> 01:01:32,356
Why do they grow on my face?
Why not in the arm or the armpit?

927
01:01:32,356 --> 01:01:35,859
They grow on my face. They're nasty.

928
01:01:35,859 --> 01:01:38,487
Thales, what can I use on these pimples

929
01:01:38,487 --> 01:01:42,282
to prevent them from growing?
Nip the evil in the bud?

930
01:01:44,993 --> 01:01:47,413
He left the room. Where is he?

931
01:01:47,413 --> 01:01:49,248
What do I have there, Thales?

932
01:01:49,957 --> 01:01:52,292
- Chilblains.
- What? Chilblains?

933
01:01:52,292 --> 01:01:57,214
- Athlete foot, fungus.
- I don't have chilblains, guys.

934
01:01:57,214 --> 01:01:59,383
- Since when?
- Intertrigo.

935
01:01:59,383 --> 01:02:04,680
I'm not even going out.
Why do I have chilblains?

936
01:02:06,515 --> 01:02:09,893
I'm pissed at those chilblains.

937
01:02:10,644 --> 01:02:13,647
Fuck them! I'll make them hit one another.

938
01:02:15,899 --> 01:02:17,401
I killed the chilblains.

939
01:02:18,902 --> 01:02:21,947
I just left my room. I just woke up.

940
01:02:21,947 --> 01:02:23,699
I haven't eaten anything.

941
01:02:23,699 --> 01:02:27,286
I'll go down to the lobby,
someone will ask for a picture.

942
01:02:29,288 --> 01:02:32,124
I'll have to take a picture while fasting.

943
01:02:32,124 --> 01:02:37,087
Because people who can't see me now
think I just had champagne.

944
01:02:37,212 --> 01:02:40,174
Because I'm an artist, right?

945
01:02:40,174 --> 01:02:42,176
- I know what they think.
- An illusion.

946
01:02:42,176 --> 01:02:46,180
There's this illusion.
"He must've been to a cocktail party,

947
01:02:46,180 --> 01:02:49,600
"or in a meeting, having drinks."

948
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:51,351
- No sleep in your eyes.
-"Rich."

949
01:02:51,351 --> 01:02:54,980
No sleep in my eyes, no bad breath,
no hunger, nothing.

950
01:02:55,772 --> 01:03:00,027
It's another level.
Look, I even carry everything.

951
01:03:01,737 --> 01:03:03,530
Guys, it's so nerve-wracking.

952
01:03:04,448 --> 01:03:06,909
Why does the building need 24 stories?

953
01:03:06,909 --> 01:03:08,118
Twenty-nine.

954
01:03:09,036 --> 01:03:10,496
Oh, my God!

955
01:03:10,496 --> 01:03:15,250
The plane could land up there,
we go on board and go to Rio.

956
01:03:15,959 --> 01:03:18,420
- It stopped.
- It stopped.

957
01:03:18,545 --> 01:03:19,379
Damn.

958
01:03:19,379 --> 01:03:21,882
There's no room

959
01:03:21,882 --> 01:03:24,384
- It's full.
- It's full.

960
01:03:24,384 --> 01:03:26,303
Hey, it's "My Mom"!

961
01:03:26,303 --> 01:03:28,764
- Who's your mom here?
- You!

962
01:03:30,682 --> 01:03:34,311
"My Mom," so good! "Hey, My Mom!"

963
01:03:34,311 --> 01:03:36,647
She doesn't know the actor's name.

964
01:03:37,814 --> 01:03:40,484
Hilquias, have you seen my play?

965
01:03:40,484 --> 01:03:42,945
- Yes.
- I'm great, aren't I?

966
01:03:42,945 --> 01:03:44,571
You're really great.

967
01:03:45,531 --> 01:03:48,742
- See? I influenced him to say that.
- Especially your mom...

968
01:03:48,742 --> 01:03:50,911
- My mom is great.
- She's great.

969
01:03:50,911 --> 01:03:55,290
Great, but I'm the one in your car.
Am I better than her?

970
01:03:55,290 --> 01:03:57,292
You're better than her.

971
01:04:26,196 --> 01:04:28,991
I'll teach you to sing
a contemporary song.

972
01:04:28,991 --> 01:04:31,451
- I knew you'd interrupt me.
- Know this one?

973
01:04:31,451 --> 01:04:33,412
- Let's go.
- Sit down.

974
01:04:33,412 --> 01:04:34,413
I'll sit down.

975
01:04:40,335 --> 01:04:42,879
- Do you know this one?
- That's Anitta.

976
01:04:42,879 --> 01:04:44,798
- Can you sing it?
- I can't.

977
01:04:44,798 --> 01:04:47,217
- I'll learn it by the end.
- I'll teach you.

978
01:04:56,393 --> 01:04:57,894
I've learned it! Look!

979
01:05:04,443 --> 01:05:06,486
- You have to laugh.
- Mom...

980
01:05:07,112 --> 01:05:09,656
My mom found out I was gay
going to the kitchen,

981
01:05:09,656 --> 01:05:11,158
I was in the living room,

982
01:05:11,158 --> 01:05:14,786
she walked by the living room,
looked at me and said,

983
01:05:15,787 --> 01:05:17,623
"Paulo Gustavo, are you gay?"

984
01:05:17,623 --> 01:05:21,335
I said, "I am." And she was like...
And she went to the kitchen.

985
01:05:21,335 --> 01:05:24,338
I went to the kitchen
and asked, "Why, Mom?"

986
01:05:24,338 --> 01:05:26,173
She said, "Oh, nothing.

987
01:05:26,173 --> 01:05:30,844
"I'm just worried you suffer out there,
but here at home, I support you."

988
01:05:30,844 --> 01:05:32,387
That's what she told me.

989
01:05:33,347 --> 01:05:35,766
Then she went to the kitchen.

990
01:05:35,766 --> 01:05:39,269
After a while, she said,
"Paulo Gustavo, come here."

991
01:05:39,269 --> 01:05:41,730
I said, "What, Mom?" And she said,

992
01:05:42,606 --> 01:05:44,983
"Did you know your sister is a lesbian?"

993
01:05:44,983 --> 01:05:47,986
- I said, "She never told..."
- Behind her back!

994
01:05:47,986 --> 01:05:50,072
But she's a lesbian on Instagram.

995
01:05:50,072 --> 01:05:54,326
Then, she said to me...
I said, "She never told me anything."

996
01:05:54,326 --> 01:05:56,662
Mom said, "Once she gets here,
I'll say it.

997
01:05:56,662 --> 01:05:59,081
"She must be dying to tell you."

998
01:06:00,082 --> 01:06:04,086
Sometimes people ask me,
even on interviews.

999
01:06:04,086 --> 01:06:05,712
People ask me,

1000
01:06:05,712 --> 01:06:08,840
"What is it like
to be a mother of homosexuals?"

1001
01:06:10,384 --> 01:06:16,348
And I keep wondering
what the sexual orientation of my children

1002
01:06:17,224 --> 01:06:23,230
has to do with their character,
dignity, or ethics?

1003
01:06:24,398 --> 01:06:26,775
There is no such relation, you know?

1004
01:06:26,775 --> 01:06:30,487
So, thank God, I don't have...

1005
01:06:30,487 --> 01:06:33,782
It's not easy, we have to do a lot.

1006
01:06:33,782 --> 01:06:38,662
But I think a mother
that rejects her child for being gay

1007
01:06:38,662 --> 01:06:41,873
is throwing her child at the lion's den.

1008
01:06:41,873 --> 01:06:44,626
We must protect those we love.

1009
01:06:44,626 --> 01:06:48,046
- That's what I have to say.
- And homophobia is a crime.

1010
01:06:48,046 --> 01:06:49,464
Let's not forget that.

1011
01:06:49,464 --> 01:06:51,425
HOMOPHOBIA IS A CRIME

1012
01:06:53,343 --> 01:06:54,803
"BRAZIL IS THE COUNTRY

1013
01:06:54,803 --> 01:06:58,765
"WITH THE LARGEST NUMBER
OF HOMOSEXUALS KILLED"

1014
01:06:58,765 --> 01:07:00,475
SOURCE: RADIO SENADO

1015
01:07:01,268 --> 01:07:04,146
When I was a kid,
my dream was to be Emília.

1016
01:07:04,146 --> 01:07:05,063
FAN

1017
01:07:05,063 --> 01:07:08,191
I went to school painted like her,
I took a ballpoint pen

1018
01:07:08,191 --> 01:07:10,694
and drew doll's sewing marks
all over my body.

1019
01:07:11,319 --> 01:07:14,114
I asked my grandfather
for an Emília's box,

1020
01:07:14,114 --> 01:07:16,867
a little chest where she kept
all her surprises.

1021
01:07:17,492 --> 01:07:21,580
At the time, he gave me a toolbox.
I didn't understand why.

1022
01:07:21,580 --> 01:07:23,707
But watching My Mom Is a Character 3,

1023
01:07:23,707 --> 01:07:28,044
that scene in which Juliano
wants to be Emília at the school party,

1024
01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:30,922
was really touching.

1025
01:07:30,922 --> 01:07:34,593
That scene reminded me
of a hard moment in my life.

1026
01:07:34,593 --> 01:07:39,931
Every kid that's different suffers
because of it, for being different.

1027
01:07:39,931 --> 01:07:44,936
When you're a kid, you don't get why,
or what's wrong with being different.

1028
01:07:44,936 --> 01:07:48,398
He gave me a lot of courage,
which I think he had.

1029
01:07:48,398 --> 01:07:50,609
To be myself above all.

1030
01:07:50,609 --> 01:07:53,779
To be proud of who I am,
with every quality and flaw.

1031
01:07:53,779 --> 01:07:57,449
To be in front of the world
as a man who's proud of who he is.

1032
01:07:57,449 --> 01:07:59,701
Thanks to Paulo Gustavo, I could find

1033
01:08:00,494 --> 01:08:02,078
the truest version of myself.

1034
01:08:02,829 --> 01:08:04,998
- Let's go, then?
- Let's go.

1035
01:08:06,166 --> 01:08:08,877
Mom, I'm taking my earbuds
to listen to music.

1036
01:08:08,877 --> 01:08:11,171
Don't try to talk to me, okay?

1037
01:08:11,171 --> 01:08:16,134
Take off those earbuds, then,
because I'll talk your ears off.

1038
01:08:17,135 --> 01:08:19,429
"On Tuesday." I said, "A club?"

1039
01:08:19,429 --> 01:08:22,808
I realized it was a gay club
in Rio de Janeiro.

1040
01:08:22,808 --> 01:08:25,769
I got into the car with a friend of mine,

1041
01:08:25,769 --> 01:08:29,481
and when we arrived,
the bouncer wouldn't let me in.

1042
01:08:29,481 --> 01:08:32,317
My friend reasoned with him
and went inside.

1043
01:08:32,317 --> 01:08:35,946
When Paulo Gustavo saw him,
he said, "Mom is outside."

1044
01:08:35,946 --> 01:08:37,864
He left the club upset.

1045
01:08:37,864 --> 01:08:40,742
When he got in,
I turned around and faced him,

1046
01:08:40,742 --> 01:08:43,995
and I slapped his face while on my knees.

1047
01:08:43,995 --> 01:08:47,624
From Rio de Janeiro to Niterói.
I did that.

1048
01:08:49,459 --> 01:08:53,213
Tonight, Paulo Gustavo, when you tell

1049
01:08:54,047 --> 01:08:59,845
that I have arthritis, arthrosis,
I'll say you're the cause of some of this.

1050
01:08:59,845 --> 01:09:04,599
You can be gay and go to the club,
but you have to study first!

1051
01:09:04,599 --> 01:09:07,519
- I'll say that.
- Say it. It's hilarious.

1052
01:09:07,519 --> 01:09:09,896
Say that on stage tonight, it's hilarious.

1053
01:09:09,896 --> 01:09:12,607
- You're the cause of those pains.
- Of those pains.

1054
01:09:12,607 --> 01:09:14,860
Pain on my knees. You're guilty.

1055
01:09:15,819 --> 01:09:17,863
Then say it! Say it!

1056
01:09:19,865 --> 01:09:22,784
I'll say, "It's your fault my knee hurts."

1057
01:09:23,577 --> 01:09:26,079
You didn't go into the club, Dad did.

1058
01:09:26,079 --> 01:09:29,583
- Mauro went inside.
- Your friend went inside.

1059
01:09:29,583 --> 01:09:32,043
- My friend got inside...
- The bouncer saw you,

1060
01:09:32,043 --> 01:09:35,255
he looked at your face
and knew you were crazy.

1061
01:09:36,548 --> 01:09:39,676
He could tell by looking at your face
that you're insane.

1062
01:09:40,510 --> 01:09:43,638
- I said, "I came to get my son."
- The driver will get hit.

1063
01:09:43,638 --> 01:09:47,225
- The man got pale.
- You'll let him laugh, Mom?

1064
01:09:47,225 --> 01:09:51,104
Alê, you can't laugh at your boss!
Stop this!

1065
01:09:51,104 --> 01:09:52,939
I'll get you fired!

1066
01:09:53,732 --> 01:09:57,193
- This side of Alê is all red...
- Bruises.

1067
01:09:57,193 --> 01:10:00,405
- I hit him. He's shameless!
- Bruises.

1068
01:10:00,405 --> 01:10:02,032
His arm is unrecognizable.

1069
01:10:02,866 --> 01:10:04,993
He has to replace his arm with a...

1070
01:10:04,993 --> 01:10:09,289
He wants to move to New York.
To be my driver in New York.

1071
01:10:09,289 --> 01:10:11,791
He can barely drive in Rio after 20 years.

1072
01:10:11,791 --> 01:10:15,211
He'll go the wrong way in New York
and end up in Saquarema.

1073
01:10:24,179 --> 01:10:26,556
Let's see how much urine will come out.

1074
01:10:27,265 --> 01:10:30,226
Let's see if I'm still famous,

1075
01:10:30,894 --> 01:10:32,771
or if I'm on Xuxa's level.

1076
01:10:32,771 --> 01:10:35,398
Xuxa probably
doesn't have to use the bathroom.

1077
01:10:35,398 --> 01:10:37,317
Let's see, guys. Hang on.

1078
01:10:37,317 --> 01:10:40,236
Let's see.

1079
01:10:41,279 --> 01:10:42,656
TO LAUGH IS TO RESIST

1080
01:10:42,656 --> 01:10:46,326
He was the funniest person
I've ever met in my life.

1081
01:10:46,326 --> 01:10:51,289
I knew that whenever we met or talked
on the phone, I would laugh my ass off.

1082
01:10:51,289 --> 01:10:56,252
Now that he's gone, we realize
how rare it is to meet someone that funny.

1083
01:10:56,252 --> 01:11:00,298
Someone that makes you laugh out loud
on the phone, or anywhere.

1084
01:11:00,298 --> 01:11:03,301
He had this thing, he was very focused.

1085
01:11:03,301 --> 01:11:06,304
I've never seen anyone
so focused on their career,

1086
01:11:06,304 --> 01:11:08,932
so sure of what they wanted.

1087
01:11:08,932 --> 01:11:14,688
He had such a high self-esteem
that he boosted ours as well.

1088
01:11:15,230 --> 01:11:18,817
- Listen. Am I arrogant, Alê?
- No.

1089
01:11:18,817 --> 01:11:22,112
- I'm not, right?
- He treats me as an equal.

1090
01:11:22,112 --> 01:11:25,740
And that's more valuable
than any money in the world.

1091
01:11:25,740 --> 01:11:26,700
PAULO'S DRIVER

1092
01:11:26,700 --> 01:11:29,285
Great. Go buy yourself a little something.

1093
01:11:33,873 --> 01:11:38,628
Or I could just say it like this.
"Alê, am I arrogant?

1094
01:11:40,755 --> 01:11:42,257
"Am I?"

1095
01:11:42,257 --> 01:11:44,843
- Of course not.
- Go buy yourself something.

1096
01:11:45,927 --> 01:11:49,180
Working with Paulo Gustavo
was like an amusement park.

1097
01:11:49,806 --> 01:11:53,435
Because Paulo Gustavo
never lost his inner child.

1098
01:11:53,435 --> 01:11:54,644
The best parts of it.

1099
01:11:54,644 --> 01:11:59,691
So he brought
to the set or to any work environment

1100
01:11:59,691 --> 01:12:01,526
playfulness and fantasy.

1101
01:12:03,945 --> 01:12:06,322
- It's show time!
- Hold me back!

1102
01:12:06,322 --> 01:12:08,616
Hold me back! Hold me back!

1103
01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:12,203
It's showtime, fuckers!

1104
01:12:12,203 --> 01:12:14,789
- Take off his cap!
- Sucker!

1105
01:12:16,291 --> 01:12:21,254
They play with Father Fábio de Melo,
so they want to play like this with me.

1106
01:12:21,254 --> 01:12:22,797
Last time it sounded bad.

1107
01:12:22,797 --> 01:12:25,717
- It sounded bad!
- It sounded dead.

1108
01:12:25,842 --> 01:12:29,804
I sounded dead, right?
So I put a devil inside everyone.

1109
01:12:29,804 --> 01:12:32,265
- Like this, look.
- It sounded too soft.

1110
01:12:32,891 --> 01:12:36,853
They got the devil,
Father Fábio can bless them later.

1111
01:12:36,853 --> 01:12:39,272
My show has to be chaotic.

1112
01:12:40,273 --> 01:12:42,901
Bro, I'm going to bang
so many girls in Recife.

1113
01:12:43,443 --> 01:12:46,279
There are so many
awesome people here, man!

1114
01:12:46,279 --> 01:12:47,989
It will be the best.

1115
01:12:47,989 --> 01:12:51,701
- Not even a shark can stop us.
- I can even bang a shark tonight.

1116
01:12:53,787 --> 01:12:55,830
I'm the shark here, dude.

1117
01:12:56,748 --> 01:13:01,127
We came to this beach,
sat on this place

1118
01:13:01,127 --> 01:13:04,714
to shoot the last scene of my movie
because of Paulo.

1119
01:13:04,714 --> 01:13:06,549
The movie was done.

1120
01:13:06,549 --> 01:13:10,887
We watched it, and in the end,
my character had one more date.

1121
01:13:10,887 --> 01:13:14,599
Another attempt at a happy ending.
We all want a happy ending.

1122
01:13:15,391 --> 01:13:17,602
Paulo Gustavo watched the movie,

1123
01:13:17,602 --> 01:13:21,231
and, brilliantly, he said,
"This isn't how the movie ends.

1124
01:13:21,231 --> 01:13:25,235
"The ending should be about our love.
The love between friends.

1125
01:13:26,653 --> 01:13:28,696
"That love never ends."

1126
01:13:28,696 --> 01:13:29,948
MOVIE "MY LIFE ON MARS"

1127
01:13:29,948 --> 01:13:35,161
As time goes by, we get to understand
what it really means to have a friend.

1128
01:13:35,161 --> 01:13:41,042
I never treasured the good moments
I've had with such a great friend.

1129
01:13:41,626 --> 01:13:44,337
My wish is to always be with you.

1130
01:13:44,337 --> 01:13:47,298
I'm much happier with you, you know?

1131
01:13:47,298 --> 01:13:50,343
I think we fall in love with our friends.

1132
01:13:50,343 --> 01:13:52,387
There are people in our lives...

1133
01:13:57,100 --> 01:13:58,268
I can't do this.

1134
01:14:07,318 --> 01:14:10,071
Some people just pass us by, right?

1135
01:14:14,534 --> 01:14:18,955
Some people just pass us by,
some people stay with us.

1136
01:14:25,962 --> 01:14:27,672
Paulo Gustavo stayed with me.

1137
01:14:29,257 --> 01:14:31,134
He definitely stayed with me.

1138
01:14:31,843 --> 01:14:35,096
He was the type of friend
who supported you, you know?

1139
01:14:37,599 --> 01:14:40,268
The friend who always told you the truth.

1140
01:14:41,436 --> 01:14:45,690
People say that real friends remain
friends after knowing your real self.

1141
01:14:45,690 --> 01:14:47,442
That was Paulo Gustavo.

1142
01:14:47,442 --> 01:14:50,653
Paulo Gustavo was there to tell the truth.
He had no...

1143
01:14:50,653 --> 01:14:53,072
He was not there just to praise you.

1144
01:14:53,072 --> 01:14:55,700
He would call me and say,
"Honey, are you nuts?

1145
01:14:55,700 --> 01:15:00,371
"I saw you laughing and you have
grey dental fillings. Switch to white.

1146
01:15:00,371 --> 01:15:03,458
"Are you nuts?"
I'd laugh and say, "Totally!"

1147
01:15:03,458 --> 01:15:07,295
What other friend would tell me that?
Only Paulo Gustavo.

1148
01:15:07,295 --> 01:15:10,423
We met here at CAL. In this exact place.

1149
01:15:11,799 --> 01:15:16,554
The first thing Paulo Gustavo said to me,
the first thing I remember him saying was,

1150
01:15:16,554 --> 01:15:20,225
"Do you have a check?"
I was like, "What do you mean?"

1151
01:15:20,225 --> 01:15:24,687
"I need to pay for a coat
in five installments. Can you do it?"

1152
01:15:24,687 --> 01:15:27,607
"But I don't know you."
We never talked before.

1153
01:15:27,607 --> 01:15:29,817
He didn't even know my name.

1154
01:15:29,817 --> 01:15:32,779
It was a class of 40,
he was making eye contact.

1155
01:15:32,779 --> 01:15:34,697
"Who can lend me a check?"

1156
01:15:35,448 --> 01:15:38,660
Then he asked me.
I said, "I have a check, but...

1157
01:15:38,785 --> 01:15:42,830
"How would we do that?" He said,
"I'll pay you back every month."

1158
01:15:43,539 --> 01:15:47,293
I thought it was so bold of him
to ask me that,

1159
01:15:47,293 --> 01:15:49,212
if I could buy him a coat,

1160
01:15:49,754 --> 01:15:52,090
that I lent him the money.

1161
01:15:52,090 --> 01:15:54,717
The coat was amazing,
but he never paid me back.

1162
01:15:54,717 --> 01:15:59,097
I never saw any money, but we started
a beautiful friendship after that check.

1163
01:16:07,730 --> 01:16:10,358
- Talk to the camera and I'll come in.
- Okay.

1164
01:16:11,150 --> 01:16:13,486
- Got the plane?
- Do I take it off your head?

1165
01:16:13,486 --> 01:16:15,071
Yeah, take it off.

1166
01:16:15,071 --> 01:16:18,283
"Stop! This catchphrase isn't yours!
It's Luisa Marilac's.

1167
01:16:18,283 --> 01:16:20,660
"Let's hurry up and leave.
Not ours."

1168
01:16:20,660 --> 01:16:23,663
- We borrowed it.
- They only let us take a picture.

1169
01:16:24,914 --> 01:16:25,832
Okay.

1170
01:16:27,041 --> 01:16:27,875
We're filming.

1171
01:16:28,584 --> 01:16:31,421
The rumors said I was in a bad place.

1172
01:16:31,421 --> 01:16:34,382
If this is a "bad place,"
well, I don't know...

1173
01:16:34,382 --> 01:16:38,177
Stop this! This catchphrase isn't yours,
it's Luisa Marilac's!

1174
01:16:38,177 --> 01:16:40,555
Don't be ridiculous.
This plane isn't ours.

1175
01:16:40,555 --> 01:16:43,057
Let's take the commercial plane. Come!

1176
01:16:46,352 --> 01:16:47,395
This is awful!

1177
01:16:48,521 --> 01:16:49,772
- Now...
- Let me see...

1178
01:16:50,440 --> 01:16:51,357
the post.

1179
01:16:53,776 --> 01:16:55,194
Wait, give me a catchphrase.

1180
01:16:55,194 --> 01:16:57,739
The ratings are high. Keep them there.

1181
01:16:57,739 --> 01:17:00,366
I wipe... I wipe my enemy's something.

1182
01:17:00,366 --> 01:17:01,451
The jealousy.

1183
01:17:02,660 --> 01:17:04,203
I step on your jealousy.

1184
01:17:08,166 --> 01:17:09,167
Girl!

1185
01:17:11,085 --> 01:17:15,256
He was the kind of person
who gave gifts without an occasion.

1186
01:17:15,256 --> 01:17:19,010
He saw something he liked on a trip,
"Marquinhos, for you."

1187
01:17:19,010 --> 01:17:20,720
There was no reason for it.

1188
01:17:21,512 --> 01:17:24,766
And he gifted me stuff.
He'd show up at my place with a bag.

1189
01:17:24,766 --> 01:17:26,851
"What's this, Paulo?" "For you."

1190
01:17:28,102 --> 01:17:31,356
I'm kind of doing this now.
I see something...

1191
01:17:32,899 --> 01:17:36,110
and buy it for a friend,
without a special occasion...

1192
01:17:36,861 --> 01:17:39,906
One small thing
can make someone's day better.

1193
01:17:39,906 --> 01:17:42,825
A gift doesn't have to be
a physical object.

1194
01:17:42,825 --> 01:17:45,787
You can say "I love you."
But it can be a gift.

1195
01:17:46,704 --> 01:17:47,663
And...

1196
01:17:48,289 --> 01:17:50,458
And today I'm more...

1197
01:17:51,376 --> 01:17:53,294
affectionate towards my friends.

1198
01:17:53,294 --> 01:17:56,255
I care more about them. That's all him.

1199
01:17:56,964 --> 01:17:59,842
You have to care about your friends. Sometimes...

1200
01:18:00,468 --> 01:18:03,638
Hadn't he told me to lose weight,
I might not be here.

1201
01:18:03,638 --> 01:18:06,599
I could've died of something.
I wasn't healthy.

1202
01:18:07,308 --> 01:18:09,185
- Can we take a picture?
- Yes.

1203
01:18:11,104 --> 01:18:13,981
How can a living fish

1204
01:18:13,981 --> 01:18:16,734
Live without cold water?

1205
01:18:16,984 --> 01:18:19,404
How can a living fish

1206
01:18:19,404 --> 01:18:20,655
Sorry, guys.

1207
01:18:21,322 --> 01:18:23,116
My family is from Niterói.

1208
01:18:23,116 --> 01:18:26,202
It's a humble family.

1209
01:18:26,202 --> 01:18:28,329
How can I live

1210
01:18:28,329 --> 01:18:31,207
Without your, without your

1211
01:18:31,332 --> 01:18:34,043
Without your company?

1212
01:18:34,836 --> 01:18:37,213
My dad got all the girls he wanted.

1213
01:18:37,213 --> 01:18:40,049
- I don't know about that.
- He did. He had his fun.

1214
01:18:40,049 --> 01:18:44,220
Manly man. Then I was born gay
and clipped his wings.

1215
01:18:45,179 --> 01:18:46,556
In my family, guys,

1216
01:18:47,140 --> 01:18:49,392
a whole flock of gay people was born.

1217
01:18:50,893 --> 01:18:52,270
I'm a member of the flock.

1218
01:18:59,902 --> 01:19:03,698
I always pay tribute to my mother
and never to my father, so...

1219
01:19:03,698 --> 01:19:05,783
I saw a movie by Eduardo Coutinho.

1220
01:19:06,534 --> 01:19:10,371
There was story of a boy who fought
with his dad and went to the US.

1221
01:19:10,371 --> 01:19:13,082
His dad died before they made peace.

1222
01:19:13,082 --> 01:19:16,919
A really sad video.
I made my version to make some drama.

1223
01:19:16,919 --> 01:19:21,215
I did a video crying,
the whole thing, and when I posted it,

1224
01:19:21,215 --> 01:19:25,845
people preferred to believe my dad
really died than that I was a good actor.

1225
01:19:26,679 --> 01:19:29,849
As I'm talking,
he must be somewhere listening.

1226
01:19:29,849 --> 01:19:31,142
DRAMATIC SCENE

1227
01:19:31,142 --> 01:19:34,520
We end up believing in religion
because of that too.

1228
01:19:35,688 --> 01:19:38,024
To... you know, to...

1229
01:19:38,608 --> 01:19:40,443
We believe they're somewhere else,

1230
01:19:40,443 --> 01:19:44,280
because it's weird to live
with the loss, the emptiness.

1231
01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:46,449
We don't know what happens after death.

1232
01:19:46,449 --> 01:19:49,327
Where is that guy who always called me?

1233
01:19:49,911 --> 01:19:51,496
It's fucking weird, but...

1234
01:19:52,121 --> 01:19:57,502
Anyway, he must be somewhere, doing fine,
watching me and seeing I regretted it.

1235
01:19:57,502 --> 01:20:01,422
Because I'm not 19 anymore,
I understand it was...

1236
01:20:02,673 --> 01:20:05,176
That he just wanted to protect me.

1237
01:20:05,885 --> 01:20:08,387
I'm still demoralized about playing drama,

1238
01:20:08,387 --> 01:20:11,140
and my dad's still trying
to prove he's alive.

1239
01:20:11,891 --> 01:20:14,685
Every photo I post with my dad,
someone comments,

1240
01:20:14,685 --> 01:20:16,229
"What a lovely TBT."

1241
01:20:17,730 --> 01:20:21,567
On Father's Day everyone says,
"Wherever your dad is..."

1242
01:20:23,152 --> 01:20:25,488
Dad lives in Niterói, bless him.

1243
01:20:25,488 --> 01:20:29,784
Guys, look at my dad's photo.
People think he's already dead.

1244
01:20:30,451 --> 01:20:35,540
They put a black and white photo.
It looks like he's already dead.

1245
01:20:36,290 --> 01:20:39,335
- He's alive.
- For now, Paulo Gustavo.

1246
01:20:39,335 --> 01:20:41,629
His father and I live on the same floor.

1247
01:20:41,629 --> 01:20:45,925
Indeed, Dad lives at 901 and Mom at 902.

1248
01:20:45,925 --> 01:20:50,680
- Either he kills me or I kill him someday.
- Bullshit. You love him.

1249
01:20:51,764 --> 01:20:55,309
Mom likes him, but it's not like that.

1250
01:20:55,309 --> 01:20:58,479
Mom loves him and also loves Aunt Penha,

1251
01:20:58,479 --> 01:21:01,107
my dad's wife,
they've been married for 30 years.

1252
01:21:01,107 --> 01:21:04,735
Mom's very grateful,
as she handled the issue of my dad.

1253
01:21:05,361 --> 01:21:08,614
So, my mom is eternally grateful.

1254
01:21:09,323 --> 01:21:13,202
My mom said, "Penha, I don't have anywhere
to put Júlio at home.

1255
01:21:13,202 --> 01:21:15,288
"If you could put him up there..."

1256
01:21:16,122 --> 01:21:20,334
Is there a chair? I'll sit down here
and sing a song my dad loves.

1257
01:21:20,334 --> 01:21:21,502
I'll sing for him.

1258
01:21:22,295 --> 01:21:24,505
- Sing it right.
- I can't sing it well.

1259
01:21:24,505 --> 01:21:26,007
People will join me,

1260
01:21:26,007 --> 01:21:29,218
because what matters is
that I sing from the heart.

1261
01:21:29,927 --> 01:21:32,638
Everybody knows this song.
Sing along with me.

1262
01:23:01,936 --> 01:23:03,604
Beautiful!

1263
01:23:06,190 --> 01:23:07,191
I love you, Dad.

1264
01:23:08,943 --> 01:23:10,903
Wave to the people, Dad. Look.

1265
01:23:12,321 --> 01:23:14,240
Aunt Penha is next to him.

1266
01:23:15,700 --> 01:23:18,285
Thales and I have something to tell you.

1267
01:23:19,036 --> 01:23:21,330
- Mom.
- Say it, boy!

1268
01:23:21,330 --> 01:23:25,668
- We have something to tell you.
- Did we win the lottery?

1269
01:23:25,668 --> 01:23:28,337
We're pregnant with two little boys.

1270
01:23:33,634 --> 01:23:35,928
- No way!
- It's been six months.

1271
01:23:35,928 --> 01:23:37,763
They'll be here in three months.

1272
01:23:37,763 --> 01:23:40,474
We suspected as much!

1273
01:23:41,267 --> 01:23:43,561
They're both boys. Two boys.

1274
01:23:43,561 --> 01:23:46,355
You didn't say if it was a boy or a girl.

1275
01:23:46,355 --> 01:23:48,524
- Oh, my God!
- We'll be parents.

1276
01:23:48,524 --> 01:23:51,193
He's so cute. Look.

1277
01:23:51,318 --> 01:23:52,903
ULTRASOUND
SAN DIEGO (USA)

1278
01:23:55,030 --> 01:23:58,033
He always wanted to have children.

1279
01:23:58,033 --> 01:24:01,495
As our relationship became more serious,
he mentioned this.

1280
01:24:01,495 --> 01:24:05,958
And if I didn't want a baby with him,
he'd have it with a friend.

1281
01:24:06,667 --> 01:24:09,670
He'd raise the child
and I'd be the stepdad, no problem.

1282
01:24:09,670 --> 01:24:11,547
I said I wanted to be a father too.

1283
01:24:11,547 --> 01:24:17,219
We decided to start two processes.
We had to find two surrogates.

1284
01:24:17,219 --> 01:24:20,514
We interviewed women.
We wanted to do it at the same time,

1285
01:24:20,514 --> 01:24:23,225
so they'd be partners
and grow up together.

1286
01:24:23,768 --> 01:24:26,103
But Romeu was born prematurely.

1287
01:24:26,103 --> 01:24:31,192
She went into labor on our last day
of shooting My Mom Is a Character 3.

1288
01:24:31,192 --> 01:24:33,903
I cancelled the shoot.
Paulo Gustavo couldn't go.

1289
01:24:33,903 --> 01:24:38,032
He had a show the next day
in a crowded stadium. He couldn't cancel.

1290
01:24:38,032 --> 01:24:40,201
Thales and I flew to the USA.

1291
01:24:40,201 --> 01:24:42,495
Paulo Gustavo was desperate,
but had to stay.

1292
01:24:42,495 --> 01:24:46,707
He said, "Mom, what will happen?"

1293
01:24:46,707 --> 01:24:49,794
I said, "Let's pray,
everything will be all right."

1294
01:24:50,836 --> 01:24:54,632
Nobody could know,
it'd be a surprise for everyone.

1295
01:24:54,632 --> 01:24:57,968
Nobody knew anything.
We prayed and prayed.

1296
01:24:58,844 --> 01:25:03,390
"Let's get on stage
and do a beautiful show for Romeu."

1297
01:25:04,725 --> 01:25:09,063
And I think
it really was the best show we did

1298
01:25:09,647 --> 01:25:12,817
in honor of Romeu,
and one day he will know that.

1299
01:25:13,943 --> 01:25:16,904
DAY OF ROMEU'S BIRTH
AUGUST 3RD, 2019

1300
01:25:18,906 --> 01:25:21,742
LAST DAY OF "SON OF A MOTHER" TOUR

1301
01:25:25,287 --> 01:25:26,330
Come on!

1302
01:25:34,421 --> 01:25:38,759
He was born, the labor was difficult.
10 days in the ICU. We suffered a lot.

1303
01:25:38,759 --> 01:25:42,721
We spent the whole day at the ICU,
we couldn't sleep.

1304
01:25:43,305 --> 01:25:46,767
As soon as Paulo Gustavo
was done with the show,

1305
01:25:46,767 --> 01:25:48,811
he flew to the USA to be with his son.

1306
01:25:48,811 --> 01:25:50,479
On the first day...

1307
01:25:53,858 --> 01:25:58,195
She put everything under the swaddle,
so it wouldn't show.

1308
01:26:00,447 --> 01:26:03,450
Aunt Karen is here to see you.

1309
01:26:03,450 --> 01:26:05,536
Look, he's awake.

1310
01:26:07,788 --> 01:26:10,916
- He's awake. Blow the family a kiss.
- Blow a kiss.

1311
01:26:11,834 --> 01:26:14,169
Blow a kiss to your family.

1312
01:26:14,169 --> 01:26:15,963
- Wave.
- They're in Brazil.

1313
01:26:15,963 --> 01:26:18,966
- A little wave.
- A little wave.

1314
01:26:19,842 --> 01:26:21,760
There was a day we got there,

1315
01:26:21,760 --> 01:26:26,390
and the doctor told us excitedly
that he was bottle-fed.

1316
01:26:26,390 --> 01:26:30,686
He had a bottle,
he'd drunk one milliliter of milk.

1317
01:26:30,686 --> 01:26:34,440
Thales and Paulo Gustavo hugged and cried.
That scene...

1318
01:26:35,024 --> 01:26:38,027
Looking at those two,
it was such a struggle.

1319
01:26:38,569 --> 01:26:41,780
I can't handle the cuteness. Look.

1320
01:26:41,780 --> 01:26:44,366
He's so cute, he's just been fed.

1321
01:26:44,366 --> 01:26:45,284
Look.

1322
01:26:45,284 --> 01:26:49,747
Romeu came home with us
healthy and very well,

1323
01:26:49,747 --> 01:26:52,833
totally recovered, thank God,
after 10 days.

1324
01:26:53,584 --> 01:26:55,461
Gael was born three days later,

1325
01:26:55,461 --> 01:26:58,547
in good state, thank God,
a normal and peaceful birth.

1326
01:26:58,547 --> 01:27:00,257
He was quickly discharged.

1327
01:27:00,799 --> 01:27:03,344
And we were with this pair at home.

1328
01:27:05,679 --> 01:27:07,389
They took care of them all day.

1329
01:27:07,389 --> 01:27:10,517
When they bottle-fed them,
they took off their shirts,

1330
01:27:10,517 --> 01:27:14,355
so Gael and Romeu could feel their bodies,
so they could be closer.

1331
01:27:15,356 --> 01:27:18,233
LOS ANGELES
SEPTEMBER, 2019

1332
01:27:26,742 --> 01:27:28,786
Say hi to the making-of crew.

1333
01:27:31,288 --> 01:27:33,791
Say, "Dad, go to work."

1334
01:27:35,250 --> 01:27:37,711
"Go to work." Say it.

1335
01:27:38,754 --> 01:27:43,050
"Good luck, team
of My Mom Is a Character." Say it.

1336
01:27:45,052 --> 01:27:46,470
Say, "Good luck."

1337
01:27:47,221 --> 01:27:50,391
"Have a great shoot."
Say, "Have a great shoot."

1338
01:27:52,559 --> 01:27:53,811
I can't resist the smell.

1339
01:27:53,811 --> 01:27:57,356
He's so cute! Look, Mrs. Lourdes.

1340
01:27:59,108 --> 01:28:01,360
Look at his cheeks, guys.

1341
01:28:01,360 --> 01:28:04,571
He's very healthy. God bless you, my son.

1342
01:28:04,571 --> 01:28:08,575
Two babies is very beautiful.
Are they yours?

1343
01:28:08,575 --> 01:28:11,620
- Yes. I'm also Brazilian.
- And I'm speaking bad English.

1344
01:28:11,620 --> 01:28:14,665
So cute. A stroll with their father,
Mrs. Lourdes.

1345
01:28:14,665 --> 01:28:16,041
- Thanks.
- And the mother?

1346
01:28:16,041 --> 01:28:17,876
Actually, we're two fathers.

1347
01:28:17,876 --> 01:28:19,878
- I got the chills.
- So beautiful.

1348
01:28:19,878 --> 01:28:21,422
So beautiful.

1349
01:28:21,422 --> 01:28:23,549
- Thanks.
- God bless you.

1350
01:28:23,549 --> 01:28:26,218
- Congrats.
- Reminded me of my son.

1351
01:28:26,218 --> 01:28:28,303
I hope he gives me a family like this.

1352
01:28:31,932 --> 01:28:34,351
LOS ANGELES
OCTOBER - 2019

1353
01:28:39,440 --> 01:28:42,067
He doesn't wake up.
He's fallen asleep again.

1354
01:28:46,113 --> 01:28:47,031
The whole time.

1355
01:28:48,240 --> 01:28:50,117
Don't you want to eat?

1356
01:28:50,868 --> 01:28:51,994
To stay awake?

1357
01:28:52,536 --> 01:28:55,330
Dad wants you to stay awake.

1358
01:29:02,796 --> 01:29:05,299
Thales is teaching
the baby to bottle-feed.

1359
01:29:05,924 --> 01:29:08,052
He's teaching the baby to bottle-feed

1360
01:29:08,052 --> 01:29:10,763
- to get rid of it.
- Dad is busy.

1361
01:29:10,763 --> 01:29:13,557
Put one hand here, the other there.

1362
01:29:14,892 --> 01:29:16,769
Dad has a lot of things to do.

1363
01:29:16,769 --> 01:29:21,607
Help Dad, put one hand
on each side, and pull.

1364
01:29:26,904 --> 01:29:30,657
Three minutes to land in Brazil, guys,
after two months.

1365
01:29:32,576 --> 01:29:33,660
Three minutes.

1366
01:29:36,163 --> 01:29:39,708
The best mattress.
Look. He's desperate.

1367
01:29:40,876 --> 01:29:43,587
He lies on you like a frog.

1368
01:29:44,838 --> 01:29:46,882
FIVE MONTHS LATER

1369
01:29:46,882 --> 01:29:48,675
MARCH - 2020

1370
01:29:51,470 --> 01:29:55,349
It's tough. The streets here in Rio
are completely deserted.

1371
01:29:55,349 --> 01:29:58,685
One of my neighbors
and his daughter have COVID.

1372
01:29:58,685 --> 01:30:01,688
Rio de Janeiro
has been taken over by COVID.

1373
01:30:02,439 --> 01:30:06,443
I've been isolated for three months.
Three months.

1374
01:30:06,443 --> 01:30:09,196
March, April, May, and June.

1375
01:30:09,196 --> 01:30:11,448
I've been in lockdown for three months.

1376
01:30:11,990 --> 01:30:15,786
I'm packing my stuff.
We're going to the mountains.

1377
01:30:15,786 --> 01:30:18,413
We rented a place for eight days.

1378
01:30:19,081 --> 01:30:22,543
We're packing right now.
We'll take the kids and go.

1379
01:30:23,127 --> 01:30:26,797
I like watching you, little lion

1380
01:30:26,797 --> 01:30:29,466
Walking under the sun

1381
01:30:29,466 --> 01:30:34,346
But we can't walk under the sun
because we're quarantined, dear.

1382
01:30:35,389 --> 01:30:39,852
I looked out of the window
and saw people strolling on the sidewalk,

1383
01:30:39,852 --> 01:30:42,271
riding their bikes, walking their dogs.

1384
01:30:42,896 --> 01:30:45,399
Going out like they were on vacation.

1385
01:30:45,399 --> 01:30:49,111
We're not on vacation,
we're in the middle of a pandemic.

1386
01:30:49,111 --> 01:30:53,073
I scratched my nose,
then I rubbed hand sanitizer on my nose.

1387
01:30:53,740 --> 01:30:54,867
I'm really worried.

1388
01:30:56,660 --> 01:30:58,620
Don't go out to the streets, dear.

1389
01:30:59,413 --> 01:31:00,831
Don't be crazy.

1390
01:31:00,831 --> 01:31:03,458
I'm talking to the ones who can...

1391
01:31:03,458 --> 01:31:05,627
Are you crying in Dad's livestream?

1392
01:31:06,378 --> 01:31:08,714
Will you cry during the video?

1393
01:31:09,798 --> 01:31:12,217
Will you cry in the middle of the video?

1394
01:31:17,139 --> 01:31:18,599
Are you laughing now?

1395
01:31:18,599 --> 01:31:22,477
We lived inside our houses,
with two babies.

1396
01:31:23,061 --> 01:31:25,063
We did our best to take care of them.

1397
01:31:25,063 --> 01:31:28,233
We learned a lot about ourselves
during the pandemic.

1398
01:31:28,233 --> 01:31:29,651
We helped each other lots.

1399
01:31:29,651 --> 01:31:31,987
Smile to show us how it is.

1400
01:31:33,864 --> 01:31:35,616
So cute!

1401
01:31:35,616 --> 01:31:36,617
AUGUST - 2020

1402
01:31:36,617 --> 01:31:37,534
So cute!

1403
01:31:37,534 --> 01:31:40,120
Where did you learn this is a smile, Gael?

1404
01:31:40,120 --> 01:31:41,622
Gael, it's like this.

1405
01:31:45,292 --> 01:31:47,044
Show us a smile, Romeu.

1406
01:31:47,669 --> 01:31:48,754
Show us a smile.

1407
01:31:49,880 --> 01:31:52,883
It's not like that, son, it's like this.
Look here.

1408
01:31:54,426 --> 01:31:55,344
Smile.

1409
01:31:56,386 --> 01:31:59,223
Gael, pretend you're crying.

1410
01:31:59,223 --> 01:32:01,600
DECEMBER 2020

1411
01:32:03,268 --> 01:32:05,520
He's such an actor. Romeu.

1412
01:32:06,104 --> 01:32:09,441
Romeu. Romeu, come here.

1413
01:32:09,441 --> 01:32:12,444
Romeu, don't mess with that, or else...

1414
01:32:12,444 --> 01:32:14,613
Romeu, what does Dad give you?

1415
01:32:14,613 --> 01:32:16,949
- A spanking.
- That's right. A spanking.

1416
01:32:16,949 --> 01:32:21,328
When the pandemic started,
the tour had ended four months ago.

1417
01:32:21,954 --> 01:32:26,625
He called me to ask how the band members
were doing financially.

1418
01:32:26,625 --> 01:32:30,337
I told him everybody had been
out of work for a long time.

1419
01:32:30,337 --> 01:32:33,423
He asked for each
of their account numbers,

1420
01:32:33,423 --> 01:32:36,802
and he deposited a huge amount
in each of their accounts.

1421
01:32:37,427 --> 01:32:41,348
He'd ask, "What about people in film,
theater? What are they doing?

1422
01:32:41,348 --> 01:32:46,603
"Let's contact everyone who's ever worked
with us on our recent movies

1423
01:32:47,187 --> 01:32:49,648
"to see if they need anything.
I want to help."

1424
01:32:49,648 --> 01:32:53,068
One day, I was at his mountain house

1425
01:32:53,568 --> 01:32:57,614
and he saw something on his phone,
and started to cry.

1426
01:32:57,614 --> 01:33:02,619
Then he ran to Thales, showed it to him,
Thales started crying and they hugged.

1427
01:33:02,619 --> 01:33:07,541
I asked them what was going on.
He said, "Susana, look at the replies."

1428
01:33:07,541 --> 01:33:10,043
People were thanking him.

1429
01:33:10,043 --> 01:33:13,880
"Paulo Gustavo, I just had a baby.
I didn't have food at home."

1430
01:33:13,880 --> 01:33:17,217
For instance, in the Amazon,
there was a shortage of oxygen.

1431
01:33:17,884 --> 01:33:21,638
It was one of the few times
Paulo Gustavo called me in tears.

1432
01:33:22,347 --> 01:33:24,516
He said, "Please, help me help them."

1433
01:33:24,516 --> 01:33:28,520
Once he was gone,
people realized the reach

1434
01:33:29,229 --> 01:33:32,274
of his immense generosity.

1435
01:33:32,274 --> 01:33:35,986
We all knew about it, but it went public.

1436
01:33:35,986 --> 01:33:40,949
I can't wait to get vaccinated!

1437
01:33:40,949 --> 01:33:42,743
Oh, my God!

1438
01:33:42,743 --> 01:33:44,995
People say you'll turn into an alligator.

1439
01:33:44,995 --> 01:33:47,873
Let's turn into alligators!

1440
01:33:47,873 --> 01:33:51,710
I've been vaccinated since I was born,
my whole life, guys.

1441
01:33:51,710 --> 01:33:56,131
I'll get vaccinated,
that's for sure, bitch!

1442
01:33:56,131 --> 01:33:57,966
I'll get lots of vaccines.

1443
01:33:57,966 --> 01:34:00,969
"You have to give permission."
I give my permission.

1444
01:34:00,969 --> 01:34:06,266
"The vaccine makes you gay."
I'm already gay, darling.

1445
01:34:06,850 --> 01:34:11,313
I'll get my shot, okay? No way around it.

1446
01:34:11,313 --> 01:34:14,691
When my turn
to get the vaccine comes, you'll see.

1447
01:34:14,691 --> 01:34:19,112
But it's taking so long, when my turn
comes, I'll have died of natural causes.

1448
01:34:19,112 --> 01:34:24,159
It was so crazy,
because he was healthy, young,

1449
01:34:24,159 --> 01:34:26,286
outside the risk group

1450
01:34:26,286 --> 01:34:30,457
and he'd say,
"If I get this, I'll die. I can't get it."

1451
01:34:30,457 --> 01:34:34,169
I have so many voice messages from him,

1452
01:34:34,169 --> 01:34:37,214
asking, "Preta, do you know
where there are vaccines?"

1453
01:34:37,214 --> 01:34:41,009
When the vaccination campaigns
started around the world,

1454
01:34:41,009 --> 01:34:43,303
and Brazil wasn't vaccinating yet,

1455
01:34:43,303 --> 01:34:47,099
we tried to find ways to travel,
but there were restrictions.

1456
01:34:47,099 --> 01:34:49,726
Brazil was also
an epicenter of the pandemic,

1457
01:34:49,726 --> 01:34:51,895
so we couldn't travel anywhere.

1458
01:34:51,895 --> 01:34:53,772
No one accepted Brazilians.

1459
01:34:53,772 --> 01:34:57,943
When he found out he had COVID,
because we tested every week,

1460
01:34:58,777 --> 01:35:01,321
and it came back positive, he got pale.

1461
01:35:01,321 --> 01:35:03,698
He said, "I got COVID! Oh, my God!"

1462
01:35:04,282 --> 01:35:07,411
We stayed home for six or seven days.

1463
01:35:07,411 --> 01:35:09,579
He had fever, body aches...

1464
01:35:09,579 --> 01:35:13,792
But no difficulty breathing, no cough,
no acute respiratory symptoms.

1465
01:35:13,792 --> 01:35:18,588
On the night of the seventh day,
which was my birthday, March 13th,

1466
01:35:19,256 --> 01:35:21,591
he woke up with a strong fever,

1467
01:35:21,591 --> 01:35:24,469
and wouldn't get better,
despite taking medication.

1468
01:35:24,469 --> 01:35:26,138
So we went to the hospital.

1469
01:35:26,138 --> 01:35:28,682
After Paulo Gustavo was hospitalized,

1470
01:35:28,682 --> 01:35:31,893
I decided to visit him.
I could enter since I'm a doctor.

1471
01:35:32,644 --> 01:35:34,604
When I got to the ICU,

1472
01:35:35,564 --> 01:35:36,898
he looked at me.

1473
01:35:37,482 --> 01:35:40,402
He had an oxygen catheter
to help him breathe,

1474
01:35:40,402 --> 01:35:42,446
but he was so happy.

1475
01:35:42,988 --> 01:35:44,698
He smiled at me.

1476
01:35:44,698 --> 01:35:49,161
I was absolutely sure that even
without my shot, I had to be there.

1477
01:35:49,953 --> 01:35:52,539
And he had an optimistic look in his eyes,

1478
01:35:52,539 --> 01:35:57,043
like he was sure things would be okay.
But still, he also looked afraid.

1479
01:35:57,043 --> 01:36:00,672
I tried to cheer him up
by talking about the upcoming projects.

1480
01:36:00,672 --> 01:36:03,884
Then a nurse came in,
then another, then a doctor.

1481
01:36:03,884 --> 01:36:05,802
Suddenly there was a whole audience.

1482
01:36:05,802 --> 01:36:09,055
He began to tell stories
in his hilarious way,

1483
01:36:09,055 --> 01:36:11,057
and improvised jokes on the spot.

1484
01:36:11,057 --> 01:36:14,144
His funny jokes.
Then he said something so brilliant

1485
01:36:14,644 --> 01:36:16,813
that he laughed out loud.

1486
01:36:20,775 --> 01:36:22,903
It was such a good laugh.

1487
01:36:23,487 --> 01:36:26,239
Everyone was having fun
and I kept thinking

1488
01:36:26,239 --> 01:36:31,495
that even in that place,
with COVID, he still brought people joy.

1489
01:36:32,329 --> 01:36:34,748
Brazil came together to pray for him,

1490
01:36:34,748 --> 01:36:37,375
each one praying
according to their beliefs.

1491
01:36:37,918 --> 01:36:39,503
Each one in their own way,

1492
01:36:40,587 --> 01:36:42,047
and in their faith.

1493
01:36:43,215 --> 01:36:44,174
And...

1494
01:36:45,008 --> 01:36:46,176
And he...

1495
01:36:46,176 --> 01:36:48,595
And I did it all, everything that came up.

1496
01:36:48,595 --> 01:36:53,600
Pray this or that way, do this, do that.
And I did everything.

1497
01:36:54,392 --> 01:36:55,644
I believed that...

1498
01:36:56,645 --> 01:36:59,356
he had a greater purpose.

1499
01:36:59,981 --> 01:37:02,442
That he would come back even greater.

1500
01:37:02,442 --> 01:37:04,361
He talked about his family,

1501
01:37:04,361 --> 01:37:10,075
he talked about his parents,
his sister, his friends, each friend,

1502
01:37:10,951 --> 01:37:13,328
but he couldn't talk about his children.

1503
01:37:15,789 --> 01:37:19,292
He said that he needed to block that.

1504
01:37:19,292 --> 01:37:24,422
At some point, he took his phone,
and looked at his children's pictures.

1505
01:37:25,757 --> 01:37:28,969
He tried to talk,
but he was out of breath.

1506
01:37:28,969 --> 01:37:30,554
He said, "I can't.

1507
01:37:31,263 --> 01:37:33,598
"I can't talk about my kids."

1508
01:37:33,598 --> 01:37:36,977
EVERYONE IS ANXIOUS FOR NEWS

1509
01:37:36,977 --> 01:37:38,019
EVERYONE'S PRAYING

1510
01:37:38,019 --> 01:37:41,481
After eight days with the oxygen catheter,

1511
01:37:41,481 --> 01:37:44,276
the doctors told him
he needed to be intubated.

1512
01:37:44,276 --> 01:37:48,697
He was always very positive,
so he said, "Sure. It's going to be okay."

1513
01:37:49,698 --> 01:37:50,740
And...

1514
01:37:51,449 --> 01:37:54,452
he was scared, but he was sure
it was going to be fine.

1515
01:37:55,453 --> 01:37:56,288
And...

1516
01:38:09,384 --> 01:38:11,511
minutes before being intubated,

1517
01:38:13,972 --> 01:38:15,515
he talked about his sons.

1518
01:38:19,144 --> 01:38:22,606
He only talked about his sons
right before being intubated.

1519
01:38:23,523 --> 01:38:28,194
He said that he really wanted
to see his sons grow up.

1520
01:38:53,928 --> 01:38:59,142
I am now becoming an artisan.
I'm making my own hats.

1521
01:39:01,603 --> 01:39:03,104
- I'm like...
- You're...

1522
01:39:03,647 --> 01:39:07,609
I'm just like those old ladies
who crochet.

1523
01:39:08,526 --> 01:39:10,320
Crochet is for old ladies.

1524
01:39:10,320 --> 01:39:13,782
Adding glitter is for gays. It's for gays.

1525
01:39:13,782 --> 01:39:16,826
I'm putting glitter on everything now.

1526
01:39:16,826 --> 01:39:20,163
All my things will shine.
When I die, I want a shiny coffin.

1527
01:39:20,163 --> 01:39:24,209
- Save some money, because if you die...
- Didn't you want to be cremated?

1528
01:39:24,209 --> 01:39:27,879
No. Cremate me, but before, at the...

1529
01:39:27,879 --> 01:39:29,673
- At the funeral.
- The coffin cart.

1530
01:39:29,673 --> 01:39:31,508
I want to have glitter like these.

1531
01:39:31,508 --> 01:39:33,802
- Save some money.
- All Swarovski.

1532
01:39:33,802 --> 01:39:38,056
Do you know what you can do
so you don't spend money on that?

1533
01:39:39,224 --> 01:39:41,559
- Start saving money now?
- No, you...

1534
01:39:41,559 --> 01:39:45,980
You ask the people
at the funeral to bring some.

1535
01:39:45,980 --> 01:39:48,316
Each one brings a shiny rock.

1536
01:39:48,316 --> 01:39:50,193
They can glue it on my coffin.

1537
01:39:50,193 --> 01:39:52,320
- He's so ridiculous!
- Isn't it cool?

1538
01:39:52,320 --> 01:39:54,739
Guys, record that. If I die,

1539
01:39:54,739 --> 01:39:59,160
everyone brings a shiny rock
to my funeral and glue it on my coffin.

1540
01:39:59,160 --> 01:40:01,955
- Fuck.
- I'll put a rock on his mouth,

1541
01:40:01,955 --> 01:40:03,123
so he stops talking.

1542
01:40:03,123 --> 01:40:05,667
He talks so much bullshit. How come?

1543
01:40:06,418 --> 01:40:10,338
Paulo was not anxious.
Paulo was in a hurry.

1544
01:40:11,005 --> 01:40:15,677
Because somewhere, somehow he knew

1545
01:40:15,677 --> 01:40:20,014
that his time wasn't enough
for all he wanted to do.

1546
01:40:20,014 --> 01:40:23,476
A career cut out short in its beginning.

1547
01:40:23,476 --> 01:40:25,353
I think he was just starting.

1548
01:40:26,604 --> 01:40:27,689
So...

1549
01:40:28,523 --> 01:40:34,279
It's a tragedy with a capital T.

1550
01:40:35,113 --> 01:40:40,869
Paulo became the most notorious martyr

1551
01:40:40,869 --> 01:40:43,747
of the COVID-19 pandemic.

1552
01:40:44,581 --> 01:40:49,878
This void isn't going to be filled.
Nor should it.

1553
01:40:49,878 --> 01:40:54,215
PAULO GUSTAVO, THE BIGGEST PHENOMENON
IN BRAZILIAN CINEMA'S HISTORY, DIES

BEYONCÉ PAYS TRIBUTE TO PAULO GUSTAVO

1557
01:41:05,310 --> 01:41:08,271
When my brother passed away,

1558
01:41:08,396 --> 01:41:11,775
it was amazing to see
the amount of tributes

1559
01:41:11,775 --> 01:41:14,819
that were being paid to him.

1560
01:41:14,819 --> 01:41:17,906
His requiem mass
caused a general commotion.

1561
01:41:17,906 --> 01:41:21,743
For the first time ever,
Christ the Redeemer's lights were off.

1562
01:41:51,648 --> 01:41:56,945
NITERÓI HAS A "PAULO GUSTAVO" STREET NOW

BRAZIL APPLAUDS PAULO GUSTAVO
AND ALL BRAZILIAN VICTIMS OF COVID

1570
01:42:24,931 --> 01:42:28,184
We got chills on our balcony

1571
01:42:28,184 --> 01:42:31,104
when, at 8:00 p.m., people began to clap.

1572
01:42:31,980 --> 01:42:33,940
It happened all around Brazil.

1573
01:42:35,942 --> 01:42:39,487
DÉA'S BUILDING

NITERÓI PAYS TRIBUTE

1576
01:42:45,201 --> 01:42:48,246
PAULO GUSTAVO DESERVES OUR APPLAUSE

1577
01:42:48,246 --> 01:42:52,000
If he did so much
from a son's perspective...

1578
01:42:52,000 --> 01:42:56,212
He did My Mom Is a Character, created
Mrs. Hermínia inspired by his mother.

1579
01:42:56,212 --> 01:42:59,674
Imagine how much he could create
from his family relationship,

1580
01:42:59,674 --> 01:43:03,636
as a father, witnessing two children,
seeing two human beings.

1581
01:43:03,636 --> 01:43:05,179
He observed people so much.

1582
01:43:05,179 --> 01:43:09,267
He would have the opportunity
to see two little people

1583
01:43:09,267 --> 01:43:12,228
- going through all the stages.
- Why not backwards?

1584
01:43:12,228 --> 01:43:15,690
Don't go up backwards.
You'll learn how to soon enough.

1585
01:43:15,690 --> 01:43:17,567
- Come on.
- I don't like backwards.

1586
01:43:17,567 --> 01:43:19,777
Romeu and Gael are the loves of my life.

1587
01:43:19,777 --> 01:43:24,032
They're my motivation.
They save me every day.

1588
01:43:24,824 --> 01:43:28,953
They remind me that I have to be strong,

1589
01:43:29,704 --> 01:43:30,914
so I can stay with them.

1590
01:43:30,914 --> 01:43:34,542
I told him at the hospital
that I'd take care of the children.

1591
01:43:35,376 --> 01:43:39,088
That he should rest easy.
We'd take care of them.

1592
01:43:40,089 --> 01:43:42,342
Me, Penha, Déa, Juliana,

1593
01:43:43,176 --> 01:43:45,511
and Thales, we would take care
of the kids.

1594
01:43:46,971 --> 01:43:48,389
Losing a son isn't easy.

1595
01:43:53,019 --> 01:43:57,941
Paulo Gustavo premiered
My Mom Is a Character

1596
01:43:57,941 --> 01:44:01,569
on May 4th, 2006.

1597
01:44:03,112 --> 01:44:07,825
And he passed away on May 4th...

1598
01:44:08,910 --> 01:44:13,039
in 2021, 15 years later,

1599
01:44:13,915 --> 01:44:18,336
at 9:12 p.m.,
the hour in which the play started.

1600
01:44:19,295 --> 01:44:25,009
It seems like he premiered that play,
and now on May 4th, 2021,

1601
01:44:25,009 --> 01:44:27,053
he had a premiere somewhere else.

1602
01:44:49,283 --> 01:44:50,576
Enough of longing.

1603
01:44:51,536 --> 01:44:53,913
Enough of longing, I'm here today.
I'm here.

1604
01:44:57,625 --> 01:45:01,713
Whatever I do, I think,
"What would Paulo Gustavo think?"

1605
01:45:01,713 --> 01:45:04,048
I always think,
"What would Paulo say?"

1606
01:45:04,048 --> 01:45:08,011
Besides being a comedy genius,
my brother was

1607
01:45:08,594 --> 01:45:10,304
a genius as a human being.

1608
01:45:10,888 --> 01:45:13,933
You see not only the artist,
but also the person.

1609
01:45:13,933 --> 01:45:16,144
It feels good, you see his heart,

1610
01:45:16,728 --> 01:45:19,188
his love for art, for life, for the world.

1611
01:45:19,188 --> 01:45:21,357
I'll always talk about this person I met

1612
01:45:21,357 --> 01:45:24,569
that I had the privilege
to call a friend and coworker.

1613
01:45:24,569 --> 01:45:29,449
I'll be nourished by his love and joy
for the rest of my life.

1614
01:45:29,449 --> 01:45:31,826
He will always live through all of us.

1615
01:45:31,826 --> 01:45:36,956
Always laughing, joking,
playing around, laughing with everyone.

1616
01:45:40,501 --> 01:45:43,254
Even if I live to be 110,

1617
01:45:43,254 --> 01:45:46,966
I want to live like Paulo Gustavo.
I learned that from him.

1618
01:45:48,176 --> 01:45:50,720
Paulo Gustavo was very brave.

1619
01:45:51,637 --> 01:45:52,972
Fearless.

1620
01:45:52,972 --> 01:45:56,934
An explosion. He was a comet.

1621
01:45:57,477 --> 01:46:00,480
This joy of his is what...

1622
01:46:01,439 --> 01:46:04,776
I remember the most about him.
And the nostalgia.

1623
01:46:05,401 --> 01:46:07,695
I wish he was here with me.

1624
01:46:09,155 --> 01:46:12,408
I would tell him,
"My son, thank you for all you did."

1625
01:46:26,798 --> 01:46:29,133
THANK YOU, PAULO GUSTAVO

1626
01:46:29,133 --> 01:46:32,261
OCTOBER 30TH, 1978 - MAY 4TH, 2021

1627
01:46:38,851 --> 01:46:42,480
Watch them from afar,
so you don't get crazy like them.

1628
01:46:42,480 --> 01:46:44,315
You're on camera, Mom.
