Paulo Gustavo is the most beloved guy in the country (we can prove it)

Paulo Gustavo has a power similar to that of Midas, the character from Greek mythology: everything he touches turns to gold. The talented actor and comedian is successful on TV, theater and cinema, bringing millions of people to see his films. That’s why he is today the biggest celebrity in Brazil. And we can prove it.

If you’re still not convinced, the awesome.club will show you why the actor born in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, became a popular phenomenon in the country.

In “My Life on Mars”, released at Christmas 2018, Paulo is in a supporting role, but still steals the show. With heavy — and fun — publicity on its social networks, it has already taken more than 4 million viewers to theaters, a huge number for a national film. The film stars actress and screenwriter Mônica Martelli, one of the comedian’s best friends.

On social networks, it became a fever to imitate one of the most famous scenes of the film (look above), in which the character of Paulo purposely bumps into someone in New York just to say “sorry” (sorry, in English) with a very American accent. Even Luciano Huck and Angélica joined the bandwagon.

Fernanda Montenegro is the great star of Brazilian theater. And you don’t see her all the time in the press, at parties or in celebrity magazines. But Fernanda leaves the house if she goes for Paulo Gustavo. In this photo, she appears in the dressing room on the night of one of the performances of “Minha Mãe é uma Peça”, a show based on the actor’s mother and which was responsible for turning him into the star he is today. The play has even turned into two films — and will have a third scheduled for release at the end of 2019.

It wasn’t just in “My Life on Mars” that Paulo Gustavo became the supporting actor who takes over the scene. This often happens in appearances where the actor is not (or should not be) the star. And also in the interviews he participates in or leads, transformed as one of his characters. In the video above, she plays Senhora dos Absurdos, from the program “220 Volts”.

Déa Lúcia is, in a way, responsible for the success of Paulo Gustavo. Because it was the stories that the comedian shared with her that inspired “Minha Mãe é uma Peça”. It is not uncommon to find her on Paulo’s social networks. Especially for Multishow, she even sang in her son’s show.

Adding only Instagram, Facebook and twitter, Paulo Gustavo has 16 million passionate fans following his work and his often hilarious posts. He still enjoys the not-so-popular Snapchat, especially for making short videos with filters that make his appearances even funnier. Like this one above, where he announced that he would pay a visit to the “BBB” house.

The list of celebrities who are Paulo Gustavo’s “childhood best friends” is long and includes Anitta, Carolina Dieckmann, Ivete Sangalo, Luciano Huck, Angélica, Tatá Werneck.

Paulo Gustavo has been married since 2015 to dermatologist Thales Bretas. The two appear frequently on the actor’s social networks, who are always in love with her husband. “The years go by and my love, respect, admiration for you only increase”, wrote Paulo in the celebration of the three years of marriage.

His concerts in Brazil gather thousands of people in a single session, and Paulo makes a point of meeting fans who are waiting for a photo or an autograph. With all this attention, can you understand how much he is loved or not?
